Slater the jury, at the direction of Judge Bradley, has re- turned a verdict in favor of the defend- ants. The defendants, with others, were in 1869 bondsmen of Wm. F. Collins, a pen- sion agent, in the amount of $100,000. ‘There was an alleged shortage in his ac- counts of $4)", and in Is7Z2 suit was fh stituted against the bondsmen to recover that amount.

DRILL AND RIFLE PRACTICE Some Dissatisfaction Expressed at an Assignment to Quarters. TOBE OPEN ON SUNDAYS General orders No. 2 have been prepared, and will be issued from headquarters of the” District of Columbia National Guard today. They provide for the long-delayed removal to the new armory, the assignments for the use of Convention Hall for drills, and a schedule for practice in the rifle gallery during March, April and May, and there- fore are of more than ordinary interest to the brigade in general. According to the orders, the brigade, ex- cept the first and first separate battalions, having been assigned quarters in the new armory, located on L street between 4th and 5th streets northwest, will take posses- sion of the same with the least practicable delay under the supervision and direction of the quartermaster general. The drill hall is to be used as stated be- low: Second battalion, second and fourth Mon- days of each mon Third battalion, second and fourth Satur- days of each month. Fourth battalion, second and fourth Tues- days of each month. bd Fifth battalion, first and third Mondays of each month. Sixth battalion, first and third Tuesdays of each month. Engineer Corps, battery A, first separate eompany, second separate company, third separate company and Ambulance Corps, first andethird Saturdays of each month. The nights assigned may be designated for company, battalion or regimental drills under such combinations and arrangements as battalion commanders may deem best for their respective commands, or as may be prescribed by regimentai commanders. On Thursday and Friday nights of each week the riflle gallery will be open for gen- eral use as a squad drill room. | Small arms practice for the current year will be conducted under the regulations prescribed by general orders No. 34, series of 1889, and paragraphs 5 and 6; general orders No. 3. series of 1594. During March, April and May the pre- scribed practice in the gallery will be com- pleted, the battalions shooting according tS the following schedule: The first battalion will practice in the gallery at {ts armory, under a schedule to be prepared by the battalion commander. oud battalion, first and third Mondays of each month. ‘Third battalion, first and third Saturdays of each month. 2 Fourth battalion,first and third Tuesdays of each month. Fifth battalion, second and fourth Mon- days of each month. Sixth battalion, second and fourth Tues- days of each month. First separate battalion, first and third Wednesdays of each month. Engineer corps, battery A, first separate company and seccnd separate company, second and fovrth Saturdays of each month. ‘The general staff, the field and staff offi- cers and non-commissioned staff of regi- ments and battalion inspectors of rife practice, the fourth Wednesday of each month. Volley firing will follow the individual prac three volleys being fired by each company, kneeling. A proper record of the results. to be entered in the company tar- get record beok, will be certified by the in- spector of rifle practice. Companies will be reported at the rifle gallery promptly at 8 o'clock p.m., in un- dress uniform, armed and equipped. The rifle gallery will be open every day, except Sunday, from 4 to 6 o'clock p.m. for yoluntary practice. Ammunition will be furnished on the payment of one cent for each round. An inspector of rifle practice will Ke in attendance, and, on request, will certify scores to the captains of companies, bes be credited as part of the required prac- ice. Voluntary practice in the gallery will begin immediately, although the regular season does not open until March 1. Open on Sundays. As stated in the foregoing, the brigade will take possession of the new armory with the least practicable delay, under the supervision and direction of the quarter- master general. A few days, however, must necessarily elapse before moving in, as the floors are now being stained. Capt. Walsh, the superintendent of the build- irg, will transfer his quarters tomorrow; the fourth battalion Saturday morning; the third battalion Saturday atterncon;’ the fifth battalion Tuesday next, and the re- raining troops as early as possible in the coming week. it has been practically decided that the armory will be open on Sundays, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., but this arrangement does not meet with favor. An effort, it is understood, is to be made to change the hours from those named to 1 p.m. until 8 p.m. The armory will be closed daily until 4 p.m. At ll p.m. a signal for closing ts to be given, and the doors will be locked and the night watchman placed in charge at 11:30 p.m. Commissioned officers will have access to the quarters of their com- mands at all times, as will enlisted men armed with a written order from a com- missioned officer. The present quarters of the various com- panies are in a dismantled condition. Car- pets are up, pictures are down, govern- ment property is piled in heaps about the rooms, and there {s not a company in the brigade which could not move out on ten minutes’ notice. There is an intense de- sire to get into the new structure, in order that things may become settled and drills and other work resumed. Dissatisfaction Expressed. Some dissatisfaction has already been ex- pressed over the assignment to quarters. Maj. Suess is making vigorous objection to having his headquarters located in a wing and not in the front of the building. It is said that Col. Clay last evening stated that he would order a change to overcome this objection by. transferring two com- panies of the fourth battalion to a lower floor. Should Col. Clay make this order, at least one commissioned officer of the fourth Hl, according to his publicly expressed statements, immediately tender his resig- nation. ‘The assignments for the use of the drill ball were made on the choice of the bat- talion commanders, each choosing, acc ing to seniority, the nights he desired hail is aliotted ‘to the guard only on Mon- jays, Tuesdays and Saturdays. Even on chosé evenings it may be rented to outside parties, but in that cas a certain per- centage of the proceeds will be turned over to the brigade. Second Regiment Drill, The secona regiment will assemble on Washington's birthday, Friday next, at 1 p.m., in the Center Market drill hall, The regiment will be headed by the National Guard Drum Corps and is to proceed by way of Massachusetis avenue to the vi- cinity of Dupont Circle, thence along New Hampshire avenue to Washington Circle. All along this route the troops will be constantly maneuvered. The regiment will parade from Washington Circle down Pennsylvania avenue to the Center Mar- ket Armory and there be dismissed. Notes. Company C, second battalion, at a meet- ing held last evening, elected fifteen new members, and there are now fifteen appli- cations awaiting action. ‘The Greater Fencibles” Is fast taking shape, the mem- bership at this time having passed the hundred mark. Having packed its uniforms, preparatory to moving to the new armory, the third separate company, until recently company A, fifth battalion, will be unable to par- cipate in the parade under Col. Moore on Washington's birthday, as announced. Company C, first battalion, has tssued tn- vitations for an informal hop to be held in the armory of the Washington Light antry Corps Tuesday evening, February 6. = Maj. Burton R. Ross ts authority for the statement that the first battalion will pa- rade on Friday with four companies, each of twenty files, double rank. A meeting of the inspectors of rifle prac- tice will be held Monday evening next in the new armory. ———— AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—The season of Ital- fan opera, which will commence at the Grand Opera House tomorrow night, prom- ises to be the mcst notable in recent years. Never since the season when Patti, Sem- brich and Scalchi were in one organization has there been so many first-class singers in a single company as will be heard in the operas to be given this week. The sale of seats has been unprecedentedly large, and a@ crowded house fs assured at every per- formance. Tomorrow night Wagner's ‘‘Lo- hengrin” will open the season, with Mme. Nordica, Mme. Mantelli, Sig. Ancona, M. Plancon, Sig. Abramoff and M. Jean de Reszke in the cast. On Friday Verdi's opera, “Otello,” will be given for the first time in Washington, presenting Mme. Em- ma Eames, Mme. Mantelli, Sig. Tamagno, Sig. Mariani, M. Mauguilere, Sig. Rinaldi Sig. de Vaschetti, Sig. Viviani and M. Ma: rel. At the Saturday matinee Gounod’s tuneful and ever-popular “Faust” will be the work, introducing Mme. Melba, Mlle. Bauermeister, Mme. Scalchi, M. Edouard de Reszke, Sig. Ancona, Sig. Viviani and M. Jean de Reszke, and on Saturday .night Massenet’s “Manon” will be produced here for the first time, in which Mlle. Sibyl San- derson will be the chief attraction, sup- perted by Mile. de Vigne, Mile. Bauermeis- ter, Mme. Van Cauteren, Sig. Bensande, M. Plancon, Sig. Carbone, Sig. Gromzeski and M. Maugulere “Cinderella.”—The fairy let, “Cinderella,” present Opera House this afterncon so_success- fully. will be repeated tonight. The chil- dren have been carefully rehearsed and perform their various parts with skill and grace, reflecting great credit on their in- structor, Prof. George T. Sheldon, under whose personal supervision the production is given. The scenery and stage appoint- ments are of the most elaborate character, the costumes are rich and appropriate and the real ponies, the magic fountain and the golden chariot delight all who behold the spectacle. The large number of chil- dren taking part make the performance wonderfully effective, and the principals all sustain their roles with intelligence. The Stoddard Lectures.—The usual large audience assembled at the Academy of Music last night to listen to Mr. John L. Stoddard’s lecture on “Norway.” The dif- ferent lectures of Mr. Stoddard have their admirers, but last night the universal opinion seemed to be that “Norway” is ore of his best. Mr. Stoddard’s journey from Christiania to the North Cape was full of interest, and the scene thrown on the canvas could hardly be surpassed by nature itself. Illustrations were given of the various points of interest across the country and the means of conveyance along the roads winding around the gorges, and of the solemn mountain scenery equal- ing that of Switzerland. The most realis- tic view of the evening was undoubtedly that showing the midnight sun slowly sink- Ing below the horizon, and then, before disappearing, starting on its upward course marking the end of yesterday and the be- ginning of today. Tne same lecture will be repeated tonight for the last time during Mr. Stoddard’s present season. Royal Arcanum Rally.—The meeting of Kismet Council, No. 1586, tonight in the hall over the Capital National Bank, 316 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, will un- doubtedly bring out all members of the Royal Arcanum. Chas. E. Cornelius, grand orator of Pennsylvania; Thad. M. Mahon of Pennsylvania, Frederick A. Woodward of North Carolina and other prominent members of the order will be present and address the meeting. Immaculate Conception Choir.—There will be a concert tonight by the choir of Im- maculate Conception Church, under the direction of Mrs. Clara Baker Smith. The event will take place in Immaculate Con- ception Hall, on N street between 7th and 8th streets northwest, and the program 1s one which will appeal to all lovers of music. This choir, under Mrs. Smith's di- rection, has already attained*a high degree of excellence, and it will sing several choruses which will show its good work. It will be assisted by_members of the Georgetown Orchestra, Prof. H. C. Rake- mann, violinist; Miss Mae Whitesell, so- prano; Mr. Perry B. Turpin, tenor; Prof. Arthur D. Mayo, pianist, and others. These are all well known in this community and their ability 1s fully recognized. There should be a crowded house. Masonic Temple.—Tomorrow night there will be a musical and dramatic entertain- ment at Masonic Temple, the chief attrac- tion being the presentation of the musical comedy “Loan of a Lover,” in which some of the most experienced amateurs will participate. At the conclusion of the pro- gram there will be dancing. “The Police Patrol.”—A few years since a Chicago millionaire was found dead in the hallway of his residence on Washing- ton boulevard, having been_murdered, it was presumed, by burglars. For weeks the police were at sea, when finally the crime was traced to the door of W. B. Tascott. A reward of $50,000 was at once offered for his arrest and conviction. Tascott, how- ever, eluded the police, and his where- abouts is still a mystery. There was some- thing singular about the case that sug- gested to Scott Marble a foundation for a play. “The Police Patrol’ is the result. Mr. A. Y. Pearson of New York suggested the title and the introduction of the patrol wagon, and this led to another feature of realism, until the author had perfected a strong play upon actual conditions of life practically illustrated. ‘The Police Patrol’’ is booked here and will no doubt crowd Butler’s Bijou Theater next week, if only to see how Tascott really looked and acted. “Hyde's Comedians.”—Music and mirth follow melody and merriment in_ quick succession at Kernan's Lyceum Theater, the stage of which will be occupied next week, commencing Monday, February 25, by the finest of first-class vaudeville or- ganizations, “Hyde's Comedians,” with the Vocally gifted “female baritone,” Helene Mora, as the stellar attraction. “Plenty of vim and dash will be infused into the pro- gram by Johnnie and Emma Ray, a couple of comically queer characters from Call- fornia; Binns and Binns, who in addition to their own repartee, make their musical instruments speak; Francesca Redding and Hugh Stanton, erstwhile dramatic stars, who are now proving their refined comedy powers on the vaudeville stage; Thorne and Carlton, a graceful couple of humor- ists; Forbes and Quinn, a versatile pair of dancers and trick instrumentalists; Has- well and Keeler, nimble displayers of the poetry of motion; the Electric Quartet, in a novel act, and a concluding absurdity, en- titled “Mistaken Identity,” in which’ the entire company will be seen. — Pennsylvanian Railroad — Washington to Baltimore and Retarn. The Pennsylvania railroad will sell ex- cursion tickets Washington to Baltimore ond return, February 23 and 24, at rate of $1.25 for the round trip, good on all trains Saturday and Sunday and for return pas- sage until following Monday. . yectacular bal- at the Grand Soe etreten netted oe entedteesertoet Nervous and Weak. 3, HOOD'S HELPED DIGESTION AND GAVE GOOD APPETITE.

An Opinion Adverse to Claims for Property Destroyed. The attorney for the District today ren- dered an opinion to the Commissioners re- garding the claims of Messrs. George L. Anderson and Charles E. Williams, for $74.15 and $68.50, respectively, being the values given by them of their wearing ap- parel, etc., alleged to have been destroyed, by direction of the health department, to prevent the spread of smallpox. The health regulations in regard to smallpox provide, among other things, that the inspector detalled to attend to the removal of smallpox patients shall fumi- gate and disinfect the dweliings where smallpox cases occur, and he shall see that the clothing is properly disinfected, pack- ed up, carried safely to the almshouse and destroyed, and that he shall keep an ac- count of the clothes or furniture, which has been destroyed, the probable value of the same, and the names of the parties to whom they belong, and give a receipt for the same. The law does not provide for payment under any circumstances, but only for an inventory of “the clothes or furniture of Poor persons which has been destroyed.” The destruction by the health office of the furniture and wearing apparel of these claimants was for the benefit of the public, fa order io prevent the spread of an in- fectious disease. In such cases there ts no common law liability. The destruction of clothing and furniture, says the attorney, to prevent the spread of smallpox is like the destruction of houses to prevent the spread of conflagration, and is not a tak- ing df private property for public uses, for which compensation is to be made. He says that these claimants are not within the class of ‘poor persons,” designated in the statute. The destruction of the ar- ticles for which claim 4s made appears to have been made at the direction of the claimants themselves, according to the report. The attorney {s of the opinion that the claims dre not well founded at law, and should be refused. —_——_—_. : A Patciotic Entertainment. A unique and highly interesting patriotic entertainment was given last night at the Congregational Church, under the auspices of the Newman Loyal Temperance Legion. The effort of the projectors of the affair to give a history of the United States by means of a program of story and song was eminently successful and the large audience present was enthusiastic. Flags and the national colors were prominent in the decorations and a patriotic spirit seemed to permeate the atmosphere. After a recitation by Mr. Joseph Bogan, the sec- retary of the legion, a quartet sang Felicia Hemans’ thrilling poem, “The Pilgrim Fathers,” and Miss Alice K. Peabody read “The Lover's Errand” from the “Courtship of Miles Standish,” followed by a contralto solo, in the rich, mellow voice of Miss Florence McNelly. “Paul Revere’s Ride” was recited by Mr. John Tweedale, in his matchless style, and other subjects refer- ring to the war of independence were given in song and verse. Miss Cora Boyd sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” and her beau- tiful tones evoked the heartiest enthusiasm. The civil war formed the subject of the re- mainder of the program, Mr. Tweedale re- cited “Sheridan’s Ride,” the male quartet sang ‘Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,” and Mr. Douglas G. Miller gave as a solo “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” A recita- tion by Mr. J. Blakeslee Johnson, entitled “A Hundred Years to Come,” painted in glowing colors the condition of this free people in the twentieth century, and the entertainment was concluded by an origi- nal recitation by Mr. J. Wells Browning, The accompanists were Dr. J. W. Bischoff and Miss Coleman. ——————— Sons of Veterans. Commander-in-Chief William E. Bundy of the Sons of Veterans was tendered a re- ception last evening in Lincoln Hall by the Maryland Division, Sons of Veterans. Com- mander Bundy, whose home 1s in. Cincin- nati, is on his way to Boston to attend the annual encampment of the Massachusetts Division of the Sons of Veterans, and also to attend the banquet of the New England Association of Sons of Veterans. Gen. Bundy, in a short address, uttered a little advice to the division as to the best way to increase the membership and to keep up the enthusiasm in the order. Ad- dresses were also made by Commander Otto L. Suess, Past Commander Rodney, Past Division Commander Mussey and Past Commander Campbell. There was a large attendance. ——— A Charity Entertainment. The announcement that the officers of Memorial Chapel, corner 5th and P streets, one of the branches of the Calvary Baptist Church, had erranged for a pound party and social sufficed to comfortably fill the church Monday evening. The proceeds will go a long way in helping the needy in their neighborhood. A fine musical «nd literary program was arranged for the evening. Among those who took part were Miss Edna Frazee, Miss R. T. Fairfax, Mr. W. G. Reynolds, Miss Emily Sauter, Mr. Herbert H. Hopkins, Miss Mollie W. Bal- ster, Mr. Frank S. Browne and Mr. A. E.

The work suspended November last on the McMahon hall of philosophy of the Catholic University, owing to the fact that the building was in such an advanced state of completion that it could be easily finish- ed during the spring and summer, will shortly be resumed. Contracts have "een recently let for the wood finish, and a ‘arge force of men will soon be at work. The directors of the university at first intended that this new department should be opened for the reception of students in October, 1894, but at their last annual meeting, which took place about a year ago, they determined to defer the opening for another year, the result of the delay being a more thorough organization and a better equipment of all its departments. Bishop Keane during the past few months has been selecting members for the faculty of the hall of philosophy. Dr. Edward Pall, now holding the chair of ex- perimental psychology in the Divinity Col- lege, will not only teach the same branch in the new department, but will also be dean of the faculty. Professor Edward Greene of the University of California, sit- uated at Berkley, has accepted the chair of botany. Judge Robinson, at present dean of the law school at Yale, has accept- ed the chair of law, and will be dean of that department here. Rev. John Griffin, who is at present completing his studies at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, has been engaged for the chair of chemistry. Professor Griffin made a short visit to the university last week to complete the final arrangements for his future work. These are all the professors so far engaged. The report circulated that the services of Rev. John Gahm, a member of the faculty in Notre Dame University, Ind., and Rev. John C. York, a former graduate of the university, of the diocese of San Francisco, Cal, have been engaged for the faculty has been emphatically denied at the uni- versity. ‘The Golden Cross. At the last meeting of Halcyon Com- mandery Noble Commander A. H. Stamp presided. One application for membership was received. After the regular business had been finished the commandery officers. vacated their chairs and they were as- sumed by Ggand Commander Perry and the officers of the Grand Commandery. The grand commander stated the object of the meeting to be a full and free discus- sion on the duties of vice noble command- ers end warders of the inner and outer gates. During the discussion important decisions were made by the grand corm- mander, which will be transmitted to the different commanderies. At the next meet- ing, on March 1, the degrees will be con- ferred. At Potomac Commandery’s last meeting Past Noble Commander George W. E. Slater presided. One application for mem- bership was presented. One lady candi- date received the degrees. After the regu- lar business was disposed of Grand Com- mander Perry took the chair and pro- ceeded with the school of instruction for noble commanders, past noble commanders, worthy heralds and worthy prelates. —_—.—__ The Crash at the Opera. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In view of the impending crush at the Opera House during the opera season be- ginning Thursday night,it behooves the au- thorities to rigidly enforce the law forbid- ding the occupancy of the aisles or aisle steps by spectators. The writer well re- members the opening night of the, Ameri- can opera season some years ago. at the same opera house, when the alsles were packed with spectators seated two abreast, making a solid mass of humanity around the whole crescent, with no pasasgeway whatever for egress in case of a panic. It is hoped that Major Moore will detail a sufficient force of police to prevent any violation of the law referred to during the approaching operatic performances. Sy Sossostoegondonseetresocterge U.

The Well-Known Restaurant Keeper Passed Away This Morning. Sebastian Aman, the well-known res- taurant keeper, died at his residence, 316 9th street, at 4:40 o’clock this morning, after an illness of nine days of pneumonia. Mr. Aman was in his fifty-second year, cnd had been a resident of this city since com- ing to this country, when a small boy. He was born in Baden, Germany, and, with the late W. L. Grun, entered into the li- quor business at 8th and E streets. In March, 1863 or 1864, he opened business for himself at 316 9th street, where he was still engaged at the time of his jeath. The deceased was one of the best-known German-American citizens of the District, an enterprising business man and a promi- nent member of the Masonic order, a mem- ber of Washington Commandery, Knights Templar. He was a director of the Great Falls Ice Company, and succeeded the !ate Jchn L. Vogt as a director in the National Capital Brewing Company. He leaves a widow and two grown children, a son and daughter. He formerly resided at Hyatts- ville, Md., but last December disposed of his residence there, and since had resided here at his place of business. His funeral will probably be private, and its date has not yet been decided upon. SSS Don’t Fail to Get a Copy.

The first of October my daughter was taken with ‘Typhoid and Malaria. While sick there came little blisters in the bends of the arms, which seemed to fill with water and itch. The doctor said when she got well these would leave, but they grew worse all the time, until from her neck down to her feet her body was eutirely broken out in one mass of sores. She could not sleep, but would walk the floor all night crying, and sald she would rather dic than live, suffering like this. Reading your ad- vertisement in the Ladies’ Home Journal of thé ewes performed by CUTICURA REMEDIES in similar cases, we sent began to use them, and in one week to get better, would sleep and rest easily, and Jn two months, after using five boxes of CUTICURA, one cake of CUTICURA SOAP and two bottles of CUTICURA RESOLVENT, she was entirely well, ‘and now, after nearly two years, there has been no trace of the disease. ‘The doctor elled {t Psoriasis.
