Burger, died last evening at the residence of her mother, Mrs. G. W. Orme, 1007 20th street, under circumstances of unusual sadness. She was sitting in a chair at the time nursing her three-weeks- old child, when suddenly she complained of Gigziness, and almost instantly fell forward dead. Those who were in the room with her at the time rushed to her, and also picked up the infant, which was not in the least injured by the fall. Physicians were summoned at once to the house, and every possible means used to revive the stricken mot! but it was all without avail, and the supposition is that the cause of death was the formation of a clot of blood. 1! arrangements for the funeral will be made later. pect Funeral of Mrs. Pitcher. The funeral of Mrs. T. L. Pitcher, wife of Gen. Pitcher, US. A., took place from the family residence, 2124 Wyoming avenue, yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was largely attended by the friends of the family. The floral offerings were many and extremely beautiful, and were but a slight testimonial! of the esteem and love in which Mrs. Pitcher was held by all who knew her. The impressive burial service of the Episcopal Church was read by Rev. James Buck of Rock Creek Church, after which the remains were taken to Rock Creek cemetery and placed in the vault, where they will remain until reinterred in the family burial lot, the removal to be made shortly after the arrival here of the young- er son, Capt. John Pitcher. The pallbearers were: Gen. David 8. Stanley, Gen. John S. Mason, Gen. Thomas L. Casey, Gen. David J. Gibbon, Gen. Dantel W. Flagler and Gen. Thomas M.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Christmas Festival in the Tenleytown Bav- tist Church. Other Notes of General and Personal Interest From West of Rock Creek. ‘The annual Christmas festival of the Tenleytown Baptist Church was~held yes- terday. The house was crowded’ with an interested audience, and thé little ones en- jJoyed their happiest hours of” the year. The room was decorated with evergreens, and an old-fashioned chimney wag built in @ conspicuous place. The exercises were varied. Those furnishing the “program were Mertie Phillips, Mattie King, Walter Hurley, Forest Youle, Annie McCobb, Carrie Jones, Mattie Philli:, Amanda King, Cora Boling, Florence Jones, Mollie Wendell, Leroy MeCobb, Amy Harding, Ethel Burrows, Bessie Howser, Etta Hur- ley, Virgie Ricketts, Florence Williams, Virgie Harding, Maggie Thompson, Viola Burrows, Grace Williams, Annie Hunter, Mamie Beckham, Nettie ‘frail and Sadie Trail. At the close of the regular program the renownei Santa Claus came down the chimney, and, after addressing the chil- dren, presented every one with toys and candies. To the superintendent he gave fine table linen; to the ‘pastor, Mr. McCul- lough, a tea set, and to the organist a handsome vase. The cantata of “The Capture of Santa Claus” was presented on Wednesday night at the Dumbarton Avenue Church as the feature of the annual Christmas celebra- tion. Mr. Willie Fisher impersonated the great friend of the®children. There were fairies, elves and representatives of many other nursery people. The little ones who participated in the entertainment conceiv- 2d their parts splendidly, causing much merriment among their friends. Mr. J. Henry Wilson, for so long choir leader of the church, was given a hand- some remembrance in appreciation of his services. No Body Found. A report was in circulation yestevday to the effect that the body of a man, muti- lated aa if by explosives, had beeen found on the outskirts of Rosslyn in a lonely spot and ‘hat in all probability it was that of one of the men interested in the Clark burglary of some nights ago, as blood was found upon the floor near the safe and upon the exploded combination leck, indicating that one of the men had been injured through the work. Thorough investigation, though, by a Star man prov- ed the story to be without thg slightest foundation. No dead man has nm found of late at or near Rossiyn. Confined at the Fort. W. F. Dougherty, the musician at Fort Myer alleged to be responsible for Flora Smith's attempt at suicide on Wednesday night, has @een confined to the post guard house by order of Col. Gordon. The charge against him at the fort is intoxication and disorderly. The girl has recovered completely from the shock of her high jump from the Aqueduct bridge to the Po- tomac river below. General Cussedness. Another evidence of the genuine “cussedness” of some of the denizens of Rosslyn was exhibited last night. The Falls Church Telephone Company a few days ago placed a pile of heavy lengthy poles along their line, now building, and near the edge of an abrupt declivity, ex- tending a hundred feet down to the river. Presumably at the dead of night there poles, as heavy as they are, were dragge\ to the edge and rolled down to the bottom. The company will be put to considerable trouble, expense and dela} in getting their property once more up on twe public grade. Notes. Rev. R. F.

Cragin and Mrs. J. H. Gorden. Two hundred and fifty invitations had been issued and all were utilized. A collation was served about 12 o'clock. The music was an especially fine feature of the event. The earth being carted from the union depot’ excavation to the Virginia end of the Aqueduct bridge is being used to widen the approach to the structure.

A reception took place at 8 o'clock and continued until 9, when a band in the ball room began the music for the first dance. The banquet was announced at i0 o'clock, and at that hour President Wm. McC. Wilson marshaled twenty-three couples into line in the ball room and the procession moved to the dining room, where the banquet was served. Upon the conclu- sion of the banquet President Wilson arose and recalle@ the memories of the old school days in an eloquent speech. Miss Wood then gave the class history of the girls and Mr. John C. Black followed with a witty class history of the boys. The elec- tion for officers for the ensuing year was then held and resulted as follows: dent, A. T. Ryan; vice president: Grace B. Lewis and Miss Bruce Banks; secretaries Edwin S. La Fetra and Miss May Shipman; class historians, Miss Lilian B. setae and ‘Mr. Chamberlain; treas- urer, Mr. Teney Ross; class poet, Mi Clara I.

Metzerott Hall.—The Cornell Glee, Banjo and-Mandolin Clubs were heartily received at Metzerott Music Hall last evening. The audience was a large and enthusiastic one, including the majority of the Cornell alumni in this city, large representations from the Greek letter societies now meet- ing here, and a splendid showing from cffi- cial and social circles. The young geutle- men fully deserved all the applause they received, for all the organizations were well balanced and did excellent work. The banjo and mandolin clubs played in good time and tune, and showed the result of careful and intelligent practice, while the efforts of the glee club were such as to command the warmest commendation. There was some enjoyable solo numbers, and altogether the concert was one of the best that has ever been given here by col- lege organizations. The handsome decora- tions of the stage were the work of the local alumni, who took the greatest inter- est in the concert, and by their energy con- tributed in no small degree to its success. “The Messiah” tonight.—The artists who appear in the solo roles in “The Messiah" this evening, at Convention Music Hall, are so well and so favorably known to the Washington musical public that it is need- less to recount their achievements and the high places which they occupy in the mu- sical world. Mme. Emma Juch, though she has been heard here many times, bas not yet appeared in oratorio at the capital. Unquestionably she will give the best ren- dition of the soulful soprano arias of “The Messiah” that the Washington public has ever had the opportunity of listening to. Miss Fleming sang with the society with great success in “Elijah” two years ago, and has since become better, and if pos- sible, more favorably known through her appearance with the Hinrichs Opera Com- pany the past year. Mr. Rieger is the ac- knowledged leader of American concert tenors. His voice has a delightfully sym- pathetic quality and will be heard to es- pecial advantage in Handel's great work. Mr. Bushnell has no superior as an ora- torio basso, and probably no singer Is a greater favorite with our concert-goers. He has appeared regularly with the so- ciety for the past three seasons. Of his rendition of the bass role of “The Messiah” on the evening of the 22d, with the Brook- lyn Choral Society, the press say: “Mr, Bushnell sang ‘Why Do the Heathen Rage’ with splendid swing, and the Handellian roulades were not allowed to interfere with the spirit of wrath which the music cen be made to express if the singer has breath enough after the raging. Mr. Bushnell had, and the beautiful quality of his voice is an old story.” The very large advance sale of seats in- dicates a full house this evening. ——+---— TO MEET IN LONDON. The American Association of Educa- tors of Colored Youth, The members of the commission ap- pointed at the annual meeting of the Amer- fcan Association of Educators of Colored Youth, held in Baltimore in July last, will hold a special session in the law hall of Howard University, 420 5th street, tomor- row morning at 10 o'clock, to complete ar- rangements for holding the next annual meeting, in London, England.

C., in Chicago, at the time of the world’s fair, under the auspices of the world’s congress auxiliary of the world’s Columbian exposi- tion, and last year in Baltimore, Md. ‘The meeting which will be held next July in London marks a new departure for the association, as it will be the first meet- ing of the kind held abroad. See Soret CRUEL AND INHUMAN TREATMENT. The Grounds on Which Mr. Kent Asks a Divorce. Wm. H. Linley Kent has filed a peti- tion for divorce from Catherine Kent, to whom, he states, he was married at Johns- town, Pa., February 23, 1883. Immediately after their marriage, he says, he brought his wife here, where he has since resided. He says that he has always been an af- fectionate, devoted, loving husband, and has done all he could to make his wife happy and comfortable. Notwithstanding all that, he charges that Mrs. Kent has been extremely cruel and inhuman in her treatment and intercourse with him, fre- quently cursing him and using profane and vulgar language when her temper was up. She has, he alleges, seemed to delight in annoying him and in making him uncom- fortable and miserable, sleeping with a knife under her pillow, and on more than one occasion driving him from home. Twice, he says, she assaulted him simply because he was late at meals. Last June, Mr. Kent says, his wife filed a suit here for divorce, which was sdbsequently dis- missed by the court. Mrs. Kent, the peti- tioner recites, returned to her parents since then, where she has since remained. He charges that his wife was at the time of their marriage and is now of unsound mind. He therefore prays for a decree of absolute divorce. ———_ Exhibits Filed. In the divorce suit of Sarah C. Fificld against Joseph W. Fifield, Examiner W. Herbert Smith, in filing the testimony tak- en by him in the case, filed, as exhibits, a steel cane and also a stout walking stick.
