In a suit-at-law, in which John B.

The series of afternoon and evening re- vival services, which have been in progress during the past ten days at Wesley Chapel, 5th and F streets, were concluded last evening with a jubilee meeting. After a service of song, Rev. S. A. McKean of Ohio preached a sermon, which was followed by an experience meeting. sd An Illustrated Sermon. The second of a series of illustrated ser- -Mons on the Life of Christ was given last night at the Church of Our Father before @ large and deeply interested audience. The illustrations were taken principally from Hoffman's pictures, which, as stated by the speaker, Rev. Dr. Rogers, depict a Christ of a more hopeful and joyous nature than the great majority of representations of him. The scenes were from the early ministry of Christ and were striking illus- trations of the genius of this artist for life- like and sympathetic expression. A graphic dezcription of each scene was given by the preacher, and its lesson forcibly drawn. ed Lashed the Scaffolding. During last night’s wind storm some citizens in the neighborhood of 14th and Corcoran streets feared that the scaffold about the church in course of construction wouid fall and telephoned the facts to the fire alarm headquarters. Truck B com- pany was sent to the scene and they lash- ed the scaffolding to the building and re- lieved the citizens of their uneasiness. Public Installation of Officers. The department officers of the Woman's Relief Corps, and of the Department of the Potomac, G.A.R., will be installed to- morrow (Wednesday) evening, at Dr. Sun- derland’s church, on 41% street between C and D streets northwest. he exercises will be interspersed with brief addresses and music appropriate to the occasion. ‘Ihe exercises commence at 7:30 o'clock.

STAR, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1898—TWELVE -PAGES. COURT OF APPEALS Some Important Decisions on Local Cases Rendered. The Barbour Condemnation Proceed- ings and a Damage Case—In the Case of Sureties. In the Court of Appeals after the court had adjourned yesterday a number of opinions were handed down. One of the cases was that of Mrs. Annie k. Lurbour against the District, arising out of the proceedings for the cond2mnation of land for the extension of North Capitol street. The commissioners app2inted to make the condemnation were ‘nstructed to consider the effect of the improvement upon the property involved, and in case of benefits to deduct the estima¥éd increase in value from a fair valuation of the property and to add any damage to tne remainder of any tract to the price of wie part taken. The commissioners reported upon the part of Prospect Hill cemetery that was needed a valuation of $45,724 an-l damages to the remainder of the cemetery assessed at $5,962, while-they placed at $21,073 the value of the ground needed to be taken trom the tract belonging to Mrs. Annie Barbour. They assessed special benetits to the Bar- bour tract at $18,530. They recommended the payment to Mrs. Barbour of $2,548, but when the arproval of the Supreme Court of the District was sought the propdsed assessment of Lene- fits to the Barbour praperty- was set aside. ‘The District noted an appeal, upon the ground that proper instructions had not been given upon the point of special bene- fits, and that the valuation made by the appraisement commissioners was eacessive. In affirming the judgment of the lower court the Court of Appeals holds that the instructions in regard to special benefits were correct, and that the disallowance of the $18,530 of benefit to the Barbour prop- erty was proper. It will be enough, says che court, to col- lect for special benefits wnen the improye- ment has actually bean made. It is mani- festly unfair to collect by deduction from the value of the land actually taken the amount estimated for supposed advantages to the remainder of whe tract, when these benefits will only accrue, if ever, after the Street is actually extended. On the other hand, tne damage to the remainder of the cemetery, by taking part for the street, wilk be contemporary with the transfer to the goverament, and the $5,962 damages to the cemecery, by reason of its decreased desiraoility as a burying ground, should be paid at once. The question whether the land will ever be taken for a street ne2d not enter into a consideration of the -natter. The govern- ment is certainly at libe: to take the ground or leave it. The condemnation procezdings impose no obligations upon the goverameat to com- plete the trade. The act of Congress .of 1894, it is stated, cannot nullify the pro- ceedings in court. Unless ail condemnation by the courts of lands for public use a®% a mere farce, the government is just as much bound by the findings under condemnation as is the individual. it the government elects to take the ground, it must pay the full price to Mrs. Barbour and other claimants to the same tract. Against Railroads. In the case of Margaret L. Hickey against the Washington and Georgetown and the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com- panies, in which the plaintiff recovered $12,000 damages, the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. This was a case in which Mrs. Hickey, a passenger on the street railroad, suffered injuries in a colii- sion ‘between the car and an engine at 7th and Maryland avenue. The judgment of the lower court was also affirmed in the case of George Gibson and the American Surety Company of New York against George A. Sheahan and Ed win McLeod. Mr. Gibson and the two de- fendants were sureties on the bond of An- ton Karl, disbursing agent of the Interior Department in 1889. Karl paid the American Surety Company 2,000 in consideration of their agreement to secure Mr. Gibson against loss upon Kerl's bond. Karl defaulted and the sure- yy emcee had to pay the government It sought to collect two-thirds of this amount from Messrs. Sheahan and Mc- Lecd, the other bondsmen, but the Court of Appeals holds that they’ were entitled to the indemnity the company agreed to give Gibson. The appellate court sustained also the judgment of the court below in the case of W. F. Holtzman against William G. Doug- lass for possession of the lot occupied by Richard Rothwell as a stone yard. a Columbia Historical Society. A meeting of the Columbia Historical Society was held last evening at the resi- dence of the president, Dr. J. M. Toner. A paper giving an account of Peter Casa- nave, who was mayor of Georgetown in 1792,and a substantial citizen of that place, was read by Mr. J. L. Duhamel. Mr. Casa- nave invested in property both in this city and in Georgetown and the facts given in regard to the location of the lots and the prices at that time, which constituted a good portion of the paper, formed an in- teresting historical contribution. ‘A sketch was given of the progress in the evolution of the scientific societies of this city by Prof. Marcus Baker, the secretary of the society. He spoke of the organiza- tion of the Philosophical Society in 1871, Prof. Henry being the first president, and then traced the gradual formation of the various societies devoted to specialties, such as the anthropological, biological and others. He spoke of the movement toward the confederation of a number of these so- cieties and the organization of a commis- sion composed of the representatives of eight societies. Remarks were made by Prof. Cleveland Abbe, Mr. Spofford, Dr. Busey and others. ‘A suggestion was made in regard to a con- federation which should include all of the learned societies of the city, and Prof. Baker sald that he would be glad to have the matter brought to the attention of the representatives of the sccleties. ——— Drum Corps and the Old Guard. Hundreds of friends crowded Nationul Rifles’ Armory last evening to participate in a complimentary testimonial to the Old Guard and the Mount Pleasant Drum Corps. Capt. J. M. Hdgar opened the ex- ercises with a short address, in which he thanked his hearers for their attendance. An enjoyable musical and literary program was then rendered by the following: Prof. Scharf's Juvenile Orchestra, Mrs. J. L. Davis, Master Arthur Plant, the Mount Pleasant Brass Quartet, Mr. George O'Con- nor, the Mount Pleasant Drum and Bugle Corps, Prof. John <rossizy, Masters Plant and Walters, Dr. Thomas Calver, Miss Corinne Hay, Miss Jeannie Haywood, Mrs. J. E. Engle, Miss Nellie Engle, Mrs.’ J. B. Lockwood, Master Willie Boyd, Mr. Ta. ward Waish, Mr. Kenneth O'Connor and Mrs. Rosenberg-Web=r. Policeman in Danger. Policeman Quinlan of the third precinct figured in a lively fight near the K street bridge about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and had not several officers from this side of the creek gone to his assistance he would now probably be in bed under the care of a physician. A number of young men who spend much time about the streets of “Foggy Bottom” were ordered to break up their alleged disorderly gath- ering, and it became necessary for the officer to make an arrest. James Hickey was the one arrested, and he resisted ar- rest to the extent that the officer was kicked several times, but he was not badly disabled, for he was able to appear in court this morning to prosecute the case. The prisoner was charged with assault, but he demanded a jury trial, and the case went over. ——— ©. and 0. Specialties. Safety—Biock system of signals. 75 to 100-pound steel rails.

Grand Opera House.—“The District Attor- ney,” & drama of today in four acts, by Charles Klein and Harrison Grey Fiske, was given its first Washington presentation last night at the Grand Opera House, with @ very good audience, which did not all get there in time, much to the annoyance of those who were prompt. When it did all get in, and caught the spirit of the play, it was well satisfied, if not vociferously s0, for this play is not loud, but deep. The plot applies to and grows out of the prac- tical politics of any city in the land, but now especially of New York. John Strat- ton @fr. Courtleigh), a “reformer,” by the way, has been elected district attorney by the “ring,” and he is engaged to be mar- ried te Grace Grainerd (Miss Annie Irish), daughter of Matthew Brainerd (Mr. Frank Mordaunt), a contractor, grown rich on his “pull,” and a leading man in the “ring,” but not suspected of dishonesty by Stratton. Stratton marries, and he and his wife are greatly interested in the story told them just before the wedding, by Helen Knight (Miss Lizzie Hudson Collier), whose sweetheart, Frank Pierson (Mr. Morgan), is in Sing Sing for forgery, confessed -by him, in crder to get a large sum of money from the “ring,’’ whose leaders agree to get him out and vay him for thus saving them. They refuse to act and he tells his story, and Stratton is at once hedged -in by his sense of duty as an official, his love for his wife, and her appeals to him to save her father. In that is the intensity of the situation, and while it is powerful enough, in a way, it lacks the profounder depths of many other plays in very nearly the same lines of the emotional. The sentiment never sinks to the level of the sensational, al- though in the hands of less capable and Lartistic players it might easily do so, and it is probably this sense of the play’s pos- sibilities in that directior which produces a sense of something lacking, when they are not permitted to develop themselves. The cast is unusualiy strong. Mr. Court- leigh is an excellent study; Mr. Mordaunt’s Brainerd is the strongest character in the play, and he fills its requirements admir- ably; bright in action and in talk are Mr. Abbe and Miss Adele Ritchie, and a typical “ward heeler” is Mr. Odell Williams’ Dan- iel McGrath. The young women in the cast are most attractive personally, and their gowns are as pretty as fashion plates. Mr. Fawcett’s General Ruggles is a bluff and natural character, and Mr. Eddinger’s “tough” is tough. In many respects “The District Attorney” is out of the rut of plays of its class, and the interest in it grows constantly, with a final culmination, which is prompt, efficacious and untheatrical, al- though amply dramatic to be in keeping with what has preceded it. New National Theater.—“Lady Clancar- ty” was produced at the New National Theater last night and merited the mark of appreciation liberally bestowed by a large audience. The play is. one of the many good ones from the pen of Tom Taylor, though by no means the best, and is distinguished by diszretion in the em- as well as literary finish. ‘om the line of productions with which the Kendals have identified themselves in the American mind, being strongly romantic—indeed, almost melodramatic. The intzligent presentation which it enjoys in its every detail prevents the impression of hackaeyed heroics which might occasionally arise. The play is mounted with remarkable liherail the settings for each scene taking rank as genuine works of art. It is to the sumptu- ous and tasteful scenic display that the performance owes much of its success with an intelligent audience, such as the Ken- dals, because of the high standard they have maintained in a majorizy of their productions, may always expect. Neither | Mr. Kendal nor Mrs. Kendal ts familiar to play-goers in the lines of character portrayal which they essayed last night, and it is rather a tribute to their triumphs elsewhere than a derogation of their merits here to say that both are more happy ‘in other things. The excellence of the pro- duction as to stage setting, costuming and cast enable this production of “Lady Clan- carty” to command indisputable *recogni- tion as a noteworthy artistic enterprise. Academy of Music.—“The County Fair,” which opened at the Academy last night, is a standby, and the interest in it ts al- ways alive. ‘The Abigail Prue made so great by Neill Burgess is now quite ac- ceptably taken by Marie Bates, and Abigail goes right along as a favorite with every- body who meets her. Otis Tucker was done to the life by Mr. Le Brasse, and the irre- pressible Tages found a fitting exponent in Kitty Beck. H. F. Roberts, another Wash- ington artist, rides the winning horse, and, of course, is the biggest man on the track. The race was a success, the singing at the husking bee and all the other well-known and popular features of this most popular play came out distinctly and in excellent form, and there was no mistake made by the audience in enjoying it all and giving the players the evidence of its approval in loud and continued applause. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—Mr. Dan McCar- thy’s reappearance took place last night and the house was crowded. The romantic Tyish drama, “The Pride of Mayo,” was the play, and it possesses many points of inter- est, and opportunities for good acting are numerous. Mr. McCarthy, as the hero,was full of vivacity and humor, and captured his audience with his natural and consci- entious acting. The supporting company is a good one; Miss Lou Ripley, the soubrette, being exceptionally bright and pleasing. The rougher fun came from James Touhey and Charles Saunders. One of the attrac- tions was the dancing cf Master Sproesser and Miss Sadie Humphreys, the’ little Washington favorites. Saturday afternoon tpere will be a special matinee for chil- afen. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Russell Brothers’ Comedians was the attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater last night, and, as usual, an immense crowd was in attend- ance. Last night the stars were in the best of humor, and furnished such an amount of humor that the audience en- deavored to keep them on the stage throughout the evening. The remainder of the company is above the average. Little Bonnie Thornton is one of the best serio- comics on the stage, and does her work very cleverly. Will H. Fox is another clever performer, with original, grotesque ideas, and with much musical ability. Among the other specialties are Whiting and Shepard; Hastings and Marion, in their sensational road to ruin race scene, and Thomas O’Brien and Clara Havel, in the newsboy’s courtship. The program con- cluded with a farce in two scenes, called “Clarice,” in which James Russell, as the prima donna, and the entire company ap- peared. “The Redemption” Tonight.—For the first time Washington music lovers will have the opportunity of listening to Gounod’s oratorio, “Ihe Redemption,” tonight and tomorrow evening, at the First Congrega- tional Church. This is the first choral work of Gounod that the Choral Society has pro- duced, and it will prove interesting to all who are more familiar with the great com- poser’s better known composition, his opera “Faust.” The music is tuneful throughout, and in addition to this the subject is one which, especially at this season, will appeal to many who would not be attracted per- haps by the music itself. The production will partake largely of a religious song service. The soloists for this evening are Mies Mary Helen Mowd Miss Blanche R. Mattingly, Miss le@onnelly, Miss M. L. Maddren, Miss L. Rueckert,Miss May L. Corby, -Miss Lanta Zeh, Mr. Wm. D. McFarland, Mrc Wm. J. Caulfield, Mr. Chas. L. M. Skerritt, Mri Bernard A. Ryan, Mr. H. M. Paul,>Mr. (Chas. F. Roberts. May Kastner, MrT, Williams Pearman, Mr. Chas. L. M. Skerritt, Mr. Eugene E. Stevens, Mr. Frawik P. #teeside, Mr. 8. Thomas. The Bahen Ber#it._Gonspicuous among the musical eventsiof the present week is the testimontal eomeert, which will be given on Thursday evening, forthe benefit of Mr. George D. Baden, the plucky young half- back of ‘the Geosgetowm University foot ball team, who was injured so seriously at the Thanksgiving day game. Through- out the long winter he has been at the Emergency Hospital, his only glimpses of pleasure being fiying visits from his fel- low students. The concert will take place at Metzerott’s Music Hall next Friday evening. Among the patronesses are the wives of Chief Justice Fuller, Justice Field, Justice White, Justice Brown, ex- Chief Justice Waite, Mrs. John Floyd Wag- gaman and Mrs. James Kerr. Those who will take part in the program are Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, Mr. Herman Rakemann, Mr. John Porter Lawrence, Mr. Williams Pearman, Mr. Hubbard Smith, Mr. Conde Nast, Mr. Ed. Walsh, the Philharmonic Quartet and Mrs. H.'H. Mills, Mrs. A. Craig Hills, the Tuxedo Quartet of Chi- cago, the Georgetown University Glee, Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar clubs, the Co- lumbian University Banjo and Mandolin clubs. The seats are seHing rapidly, and a brilliant success, musically and financially, is assured. : Mrs. Brown's Readings.—Tonight Mrs. Clara Bell Brown will réad from her poems and sketches at Metzerott Hall. She will he assisted by Miss Jennie O’Neill Potter, Sig. Mariano Maina, and Profs. Wm. Wal- decker and Harry Wheaton Howard. Mrs. Brown has won high praise for her literary work, and many of her stirring war poems will gain newlinterest by her reading them. She has n wide circle of friends; and the hall should be crowded. —>—__ SMUGGLED OPIUM. Chinese Laundries in Baltimore Raid- ed by Government Officers. Word has been received here that-a party of government officegs, under the lead cf Special Treasury Agent W. L. Rose, raid- ed several Chinese laundries and stores in Baltimore yesterday and captured a large quantity of opium, alleged to have been smuggled. Three Chinamen, Wong Lui, Lee and Kee, were arrested. on the charge of smuggling and were held in $1,500 bail for a hearing before a United States com- missioner. It is said that the suspicion was directed against the Chinese merchants. of Baltimore by the finding of a number of cans of adulterated opium, known as “‘sec- onds,” in Washington. The persons on whom this opium was found said that they had purchased the drug from Chinamen in Baltimore, and gave several addresses of establishments, which Mr. Rose afterward visited. The opium seized in Washington was unstamped, but.otherwise bore the appearance of the genuine article. According to Special Agent Rose many Chinese merchants in Baltimore are deal- ing unlawfully in oplum and frequently adulterate it for their own gain and the detriment of the purchaser. He says they succeed in openimg caus of pure oplum without destroying the stamp. Then they scrape the opium pipes im their “dens” and mix the scrapings: with pure oplum and some other substafce, packing it again in the stamped cans and selling it for the price of the pure articles —_. The George Lewry Sold. The National Steambeat Company of Washirgton, D.C., and Norfolk, Va., has purchased the steamer George Leary, one ef the well-known Potomac and Chesa- peake bay boats. She was rebuilt in 1878, when she was first placed on the line from this city to Norfolk; Va: In 1892 she was overhauled and provided with an electric outfit. She is lcensed to carry 400 night Passengers and 1,500 day passengers. She is to be used: for excursion purposes, and will run to Glymont, Rocky Point, Clifton Beach and Colonial Beach, beginning May 1.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla Removes the cause by purifying and enrich- ing the blood, giving to it Just those qual- ities which are demanded for the proper support of the nervous system. Hundreds of women who once suffered from nervous- ness, write that they have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla and’ nervousness has disap- peared. This was because Hood's Sarsa- parilla purified their blood. z ; z HOOD'S PILLS act harmoniously with Hood's Sarsaparilla. 25c. setectectetetetetetetetentententnteetetetetetetetetete | | SKINS ON FIRE With agonizing ecsemas and other itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, blotchy and pimply skin and scalp diseases, are ‘instantly relieved and speedily cured by the celebrated CUTICURA REMEDIES, the greatest skin cures, blood purifiers and humor rem- edies of modern times.
