The iist of Patronesses and other ladies, who will as- sist, includes the names of those best known here, and a truly southern welcome will be extended to all. Supper will be served from 8 to 2, and those attending the opera will thus be afforded an oppor- tunity of enjoying both the ball and a fine lunch, The ball is given for the benefit of the widows and orphans and needy con- federate soldiers of the District of Colum- bia, and the committees having the affair in charge anticipate that it will eclipse all former events of a similar character. The attendance at the balls of this relief society has always been large, and it is likely it will be even greater this year. In order to accommodate those who go to the opera the ladies having the ball in charge have decided to keep the supper room open until 2 o'clock, so that those who come late will have no cause for re- gret. —_—- > The trial of the charges of negligence and incompetency preferred by Mayor Schieren against Justice William Watson of the Ewen street police court, Brooklyn, was begun yesterday.

The Star Pastel Company of Atlantic City has been declared to be a. fraudulent concern by the Post Office Department and Postmaster Sayre has seized the com- pany’s mail and returned all money orders to the office from which they came. The company has been doing business for more than a year, working the country beyond the Alleghanies. It did an enormous bus- iness. The board of administration of Cincinnati has issued an order which, if carried out literally, will wipe out of existence about $600,000 worth of property. It is an order directing the Cincinnatt Inclined Plane Railway Company to remove from the streets its tracks within one month and its inclined plane within two months, except such portions of the track as are composed of full girder rail. This action is based on a judgment of the superior court that the franchise of this company has expired by limitation. . Ell Marks, probably the best-known gam- bler in the south, died in Louisville yester- day. For years he made gambling a busi- ness and acquired quite a fortune, but of late has had reverses and died practically reduced to poverty. He was a member of Morgan’s famous raiders through Ohio and southern Indiana during the war. Samuel Cowles, an old man from Illinois, wag recently found dead nearly a mile from home in Marian county, Arkansas. It is alleged that his wife had chased him from the house with a harrow tooth, with which, it is claimed, she inflicted several wounds which caused his death, The bloody in- strument and other signs of murder were found in the house.

The vote for United States Senator at Boise, Idaho, yesterday was without change: Shoup, 20; Sweet, 19; Claggett, 15. Nebraska and Iowa people were startled yesterday by developments which indicate that Albert Whipple, the absconding bank- er, merchant and army contractor of Craw- ford and Hyannis, now a fugitive from jus- tice, with creditors left in the lurch for $15,000 to $20,000, and Albert B.

The Michigan house yesterday, by a vote of 66 to 21, passed the bill legislating out of office the present board of health of Detroit and empowering the governor to appoint a new board.

The faculty of Harvard College at a spe- clal meeting yesterday decided to recom- mend the abolition of intercollege foot bail. The announcement of the result cre- ated a great stir among the college men. A record of the action of the faculty will be sent at once to the corporation, with a request that it be forwarded to the athletic committee. ‘The faculty met to discuss the advisabil- ity of limiting foot ball at Harvard to the home grounds during the coming season. After much deliberation the question re- solved itself into the advisability of abcl- ishing the game entirely, and a motion embodying the latter sentiment was passed by a vote of 24 to 16. This decision of the faculty is not final, as the matter really rests with the athletic committee. The latter, it is understood, oppose the utter abolition of the game, al- theugh they are said to advocate certain restrictions, and it is hoped that a satis- factory compromise will be effected, allow- ing the game to be played under lmita- tions. HUNDREDS OF GOOD DOGS. Opening of the Westminster Kennel Club Bench Shew. The-nineteenth annual bench show of the Westminster Kennel Club opened yester- day at the. Madison Square Garden, New York, with an entry of 1,631 dogs, New York leading and Boston being a good second so far as numbers are concerned. A greater number of St. Bernards were entered than any other class, with fox terriers, pointers, English setters, Irish betters, spaniels, bulldogs, bull terriers, Scotch terriers and Irish terriers in the order named. ‘The Westminster Kennel Club alone will distribute $10,000.in prizes, and other clubs represented at the dog show will con- tribute another $5,000. There are many famous dogs entered, among them being several which have won prizes over and over again for a number of years past. English and Irish setters were not only numerous, but were a splendid lot of animals. Among them were Countess Zoe, Spectre, Cactus, Maid Marion*and Glendon. Among the pointers on exhibit are Prince of Pontiac, Hempstead Prince, Malton Barry and Lady Tammany. The attendance was large, fully 1,000 per- sons being present when the show. was de- clared open. The judges commenced their work shortly after 11 o'clock. Sporting Notes. Mr. J. B.

A movement has been started at Cleve- land, Ohio, for the organization of a na- tional sporting league similar to that which has been in existence in England for many years. The object of the league is to pro- tect the interests of the turf, not only nst inimical legislation, but against ofiicials who levy tribute from them, and also to purify turf sports from many of the abuses which now bring it into disre- pute. Letters have been received from a number of the most prominent patrons. of the trotting turf, signifying their wiliing- ress to send delegates to a convention to be held for the purpose of organizing the league. —__—___+e+ THE LIGHTS GONE. Rivermen Charge Discrimination Against the Potoame. Rivermen want to know why the Poto- mae river, as they charge, is discriminated against by the light house board. They claim that they have been more than ne- giected—that they have been ignored. They maintain that a condition exists on our home river which would not be tolerated on any other river in the country. On Christmas night, 1893, the light house at Lower Cedar Point, sixty-one miles down from this port, was destroyed by fire. Fair promises were made that it would be im- mediately reconstructed. The fulfillment of these promises was postponed from time to time. The winds of winter mellowed into the breezes of summer. Seasons came and went, but the blackened, charred and smoked-hued debris of the old light house continued to disfigure Lower Cedar Point and make navigation around that import- ant part of the river arduous and hazard- ous. A bill was Introduced In Congress, but the river people lost track of it and | believe that it went to Davy Jones’ locker. Washington harbor, No. 31, masters and *| pilots of steam vessels, petitioned the light house board that steps be taken to renew this light house, but they have never heard aught as a result of that petition. This was one grievance. Now the second wrong, which the marin- ers claim has been inflicted upon them, ts the abandonment for some unexplained reason of the lights on Maryland Point, forty-five miles down stream. Maryland Point is also an important point in river navigation and a light there is of especial corsequence to men who steam and sail by night. Captain Tull of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company's steamer Washington was the first to report at Washington that this light had ceased to burn. This has caused considerable indig- nation among navigators, which is devel- oping into a general howl along the front. ‘The officers of all the steamboat com- panies, and especially the line officers of the Arrowsmith, Wakefield, Harry Randall, Mattano,Potomac,Norfolk and Washington, will unite in a protest to the light house board. The light house at Smith's Point, on the south of tne mouth of the Potomac, has been carried away by the ice and the fog signal as a consequence discontinued. Of course, the river mariners run their courses on time, but they feel that they are en- titled to the lights and want them. ges 1.25 Ex 101 to Baltimore 1.25 he B. and 0.

From the Baltimore Sun. SANDY SPRING, Md., February 19.—The twenty-third annual farmers’ convention was held today in the Lyceum building here. Edward P. Thomas presided; J. Jan- ney Shoemaker and M. O. Stabler, secre- taries. The convention had its inception in the farmers’ clubs that were organized in Montgomery county many years ago for the interchange of views on agricultural subjects. The convention was originally designed for the farmers of Montgomery county, but with the lapse of years farm- ers of adjacent counties: became interested in the work and now are among the most regular attendants. Today farmers were present from Howard, Harford and Prince George's counties and they took an active part in the discussions, A significant fea- ture of these gatherings is the preponder- ance of young men, who, being fully posted on the needs of the agriculturist, did not hesitate to express their views. William E. Mannakee, chairman of the committee on public road legislation, sum- mitted.a report on the present method of repairing roads in Montgomery county, in which he said- that with economical man- agement as much work had been accom- plished with an expenditure of -$4,500 as was formerly done with $5,000. C. E. Bond of the same committee read a paper on public roads which attracted at- tention as well for the clear and forcible manner in which he expressed himself as for the knowledge which he disclosed of his subject. He attacked the prevailing system im use in many counties of going over the roads in the early fall months, when the ground is hard, and shoveling the earth to the center of the road. The time for that kind of repairs, he said, is.in the spring, when the ground is soft, and the earth thrown to the center in condition to remain where it is placed. The spring repairs should be followed from time to time with a little work on the roads to keep them in repair. The drains alongside the roads should be carefully looked after.and not be permitted to become clogged. Speaking of the construction of stone roads, he said: “The roadbed should first be put in good condition, and under no con- dition should stone be put on an uneven bed, and the bed should be allowed to pack hard before the stone is spread. A mac- adam road is the simplest to construct. It will be well to bear in mind when con- structing such a road that a road with stone six inches deep is two and a quarier times as strong as if it were four inches deep, end a road with stone twelve inches deep is four times as strong as if the stone Were six inches deep. It will be found cheaper to use hard stone at a greater cost than for soft stone. In repairing a macadam road care should be taken that large surfaces are not re- paired at a time, for the reason that large vehicles will not drive over the repaired parts and will cause damage to other paris of the roadbed. Another system of road- building is the Telford, which the speaker considered better than any other. Such a road is built, he said, by tirst placing large stones close together for a foundation and then spreading broken stone to a sufficient depth. A Telford road will last longer and cost less for repairs than any other prac- ticable country road. Mr. Bond closed his paper with the fol- lowing directions for road repairing, which the convention by unanimous vote direct- ed the committee to urge the county com- missioners to adopt and to require the road supervisors to carry out, viz: “Begin early in the spring, scrape the ground well and crown about one foot; under no circum- stances piace earth on the road when it is dry and hard; after every rain go over the road and make needed repairs; dig up all heavy stone from the roadbed aod in aning the drains throw-the earth away from the road. In repairing stone roads be sure there are no hollows in the bed and #lways put the stone in the middle, broken to an even size; keep repairing stones in piles about 100 yards apart and have the Stone broken to a uniform size.” William Amos of Harford county spoke of the advantage derived from the work of the Darlington Road League. He said the league induced the county commissioners to permit them to have the expenditure -of the money appropriated for their distric One year’s work convinced the commission- ers of the value of intelligent supervision of the road-mending, and they are now anxious to encourage the formation of sim- ilar leagues. — TWO OF A KIND. Where Some of the Clothing Donated for the Poor Goes. A pair of tramps answering to the names George Croff and Joseph Sullivan appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning on charges of vagrancy. Croft has had a whole winter’s experience here, and said he had spent his nights in the mission. Last week he was arrested on suspicion because he was with two others, and they were trying to dispose of an overcoat that had becn donated for the benefit of the poor. That time he was released instead of being taken to court. Last evening Policeman Kimmel went in a saloon near the mission, as he said, to leok over the hoboes whe frequent the place, and while there Croft entered and wanted to sell a pair of treu ‘Ss. Tl buy the trousers,” said the officer. “Come up the street with me and I'll get you the money.” The unsuspecting man went with the of- ficer, and instead of receiving his 50 cents for the trousers he was locked up. His statement to the officer was that the trous were given him at the mission. This morning while in thescell he found a ready purchaser for the trousers in the person of Sullivan, who wore them when he appeared before the court for trial. “Where are you from?” the court asked the man, who was in his shirt sleeves. “Baltimore,” he answered, “and if you send over there you can get my character. I've been an oyster dredger on the bay for fifteen years, and there is moncy coming to 's your coat?” “On the bench.” “Why haven’t you got it on?” “ feel too warm.” “Where did you get the trousers?” Fought them from a man in the cell.” “That man has gone down for a month,” the judge told him, “and you will have to go down for a similar period and take the trousers with you.’ a A Suggestion to the Postmaster, ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Heretofore in the city post 6ffice a re- ceptacle for drop letters was provided im- mediately in front of the main entrance, but this recently has been closed, and a place provided at the end of the long, dark cerridor leading to the rear of, the build- ing. A muddy, indefinite placard invites the would-be depositor to go to the end of the passageway, and it is painful to wit- ness the trouble and difficulty imposed thereby upon women, children and others who have to grope and inquire their way. For days at first the policeman on duty was busied showing inquirers the precise location of the place of deposit. The why of all this is inexplicable; it is certainly indefensible, The postmaster should rather bring in from. the street a half dozen or more of his, big. red. newspaper boxes and place them near the front entrance for use of the public with their mail matter. Or if not inside then just outside. OLD FOGY. ae Gen, John L. Swift, deputy collector of customs at Boston, died yesterday of heart disease.

Thomas Flaherty’s Case Will Be Look- ed After by the Grand Jury. Three years ago Thomas Flaherty, a tinner, who lives in South Washington, was married. The woman who became his wife was Miss Annie Galvin. She is now a grass widow, and he is behind the bars as an alleged housebreaker. It is not charged that he intended to steal any- thing at the house where he was found, but it is suspected that he was going to harm his wife. He is a victim of strong drink and his friends claim that this is the cause of his trouble. Mrs. Flaherty, who is an attractive young woman, is employed as a nurse at No. 2120 P street, and it was in this house that he was found about 5 o'clock Sunday morning. It is perhaps fortunate that his wife was not the one to discover him in the kitchen that morning. He left the house as soon as he was dis- covered, and, after he had gone, a note written by him as follows, was found: “Tom Flaherty, “Annie Galvin, “My dearest friend: “I will do as you say. I will never do good until you make friends with me, and I will show you better than I can tell.” 4 On the other side of the paper was writ- en: shall see you, so don’t worry. ‘om Flaherty to Annie Flaherty. He had also left at the door another note. This one reads: “Mrs, Annie Flaherty: “As long as you don't speak to me I intend to take your life and kill myself.” The prisoner did not deny the author- ship of these notes and claimed he was drunk: when he wrote them. Judge Miller thought the grand jury had better investigate the case and committed the prisoner. in“default-of $500 bonds. Detectives Rhodes and Boardman inves- tigated the case and caused the arrest of Flaherty. Later in the day the accused was re- leased on bond and Lawyer Sillers, his counsel, says the differences between the husband and wifo will be settled. ——__.

Dr. Phillips, late physician to the Belleview Hospital, New York, who was cured by the clloridam discovers, ‘says: . Shade's treat- ment for cousumpiion will surely be adopted by the profession.” Dr. Patterson, 52 B street, north- east, who was also cured of consumption by Dr. Shade over one year ago, says: “I say ‘unbesitat- ingly that I owe my life to Dr. Shade. I felt cc nt that I could not live unless the disease fas arrested, and Dr. Shade’s chloridum treatment did it. I can say that I do not suffer in the least from the experience I had with consumption.” ‘Dr. Shade's epecialties: Discases of the Chest, Heart, Lug, Throat and Catarrhal Diseases.
