THE EASTERN BRANCH FLATS A Report Being Prepared by the Bact Wash Various Matters Considered at the Meeting of the Association Last Evening—Smalipox Hospital. Last night’s meeting of the East Washing- ton Citizens’ Association, held at Baum’s Hall, on East Capitol street, was not largely attended. Chairman Babson of the executive committee stated that his com- mittee held its regular weekly meeting Tuesday night, and he called attention to the good attendance as affording an ex- ample for the other committees. In doing this he spoke of the importance of other committees holding, meetings, and said that the committees on streets and water, lights and sewers had plenty of work to do. While he said he had no special re- port to make, he desired to speak of the question of increasing the water supply. People who have lived here any length of time, he said, know well the necessity for an increase of this supply. It is only by having an abundant supply, he said, that citizens can hope to have enough to use. He spoke of the good work done in this matter by the board of trade, and of Col. Elliott’s kindness in addressing a meeting of that body, in which he told of the needs and how they should be supplied. The work, he said, should begin at the fountain head, and the reservoirs should be filled. ‘He also spoke of the need for an increased water supply in the hot weather. The committee, he continued, had care- fully watched what is being done relative to the contagious disease hospital, and a member of the committee had been in attendance at the Capitol to see that the building was not erected in the eastern section. There was a proposition, he said, to appropriate $30,000 for the -erection of @ smallpox hospital. As it is, there is an appropriation of $18,- 000 for the erection of a building, with a high brick wall about it. Chairman Babson also called attention to the act providing for female members of the school board, and said he thought the asscciation should be congratulated, as it had approved the bill and recommended its passage. Eastern Branch Flats. The call for reports from committees was made, and there were but few re- sponses, on account of the slim attendance. When the report of the committee on streets, avenues and alleys was called, President Babson, in the absence of the chairman of this committee, called atten- tion to the condition of the streets in the vicinity of the Maury school building. The building is in an isolated locality, and the streets leading to it are unimproved, so that in wet weather the children have to wade through the mud and water. The resolution asking for this improvement was passed. Chairman Jeffords of the committee on reclamation of the Eastern branch flats stated that his committee had had a meet- ing, and he was ready to make the stereo- typed report of progress. In the near fu- ture, he said, the committee will make a written report, which will embrace the en- tire subject and proposed improvements. The committee, he said, had considered the whole scope of the improvement, and in do- ing so the engineer’s report and survey had been carefully examined. The written re- port, he said, will present the entire scheme for the improvement. As agreed upon by the committee, the proposed reclamation will extend from the Potomac river to the District line, and the committee will recom- mend the improvement to this extent. The objects considered were, first, the improve- ment from a sanitary standpoint,by reclaim- ing the flats and converting the mud into solid earth, to take the place of the weeds, water and filth. So far as the committee was concerned, its members thought that the channel should be about 1,000 feet wide, a sufficient width for the passage of a man- of-war. ‘The question as to whether or not there should be two channels was also dis- cussed, but not definitely decided upon. Then, too, the question of making the stream a navigable one, with a view to opening up new business, was considered, and he said a survey will have to be made in order to determine wharf lines. Suggestions were also made by other members of the committee concerning the flats improvement, and Chairman Jeffords suggested that members of other associa- tions be invited to attend the.next meeting, when the report will be presented. Chairman Yoder of the committee on health, police and charities said that his committee had no formal report to make, but -he thought the association should feel proud of the amount of collections in East Washington. There being no new business to be trans- acted, the association adjourned. —_——- — The Short Story Club. Mrs. M. S. Lockwood gave this club and its many invited guests a hearty welcome on Wednesday evening. The three large parlors were crowded with the attendance. A piano solo by Miss Clifford opened the exercises. G. W. Sanderlin amused, with “Yarns and Illustrations;” Dr. W. A. Crof- fut gave a short talk on “Hypnotism;” Mr. Murdock was heard in a vocal number. The length of the program forbade encores. Major F. I. Willis yielded to the request of the club, and delivered his very grand poem, “The Three Banners;’ = Halley sang a selection from “Carmen;” Mr. Twee- dale, during the evening, was heard in two of Kipling’s poems; Miss Mary Helen Howe serg “Rendezvous,” a waltz song, and later Beremy’s “Serenade;” Mrs. Andrew Beyd recited “Caldwell of Springfield,” with good effect; Miss Jeannie Haywood sang “Dear Heart” and “Won't You Be My Sweetheart?” very sweetly; Miss Lula Facius accompanied all the singers; little Marie Howe told in pleasing rhyme “What a Little Boy Thinks About Things.” . Mrs. Mary Nailor closed the entertainment with the laughable recitation, entitled ‘The Jiners.” ‘The assemblage was very large. ns Good Templars. Star of Hope Lodge of Good Templars enjoyed one of its regular old-fashioned meetings at its hall, corner 19th street and Pernsylvania avenue, last evening. Chief ‘Templar Harding presided. Three new members were admitted, and several ap- plications were received and referred. Reso- lutions were adopted thanking Rev. Dr. Ennis of the Western Presbyterian Church for his valuable services and co-operation, especial mention being made of a sermon delivered at the invitation of the lodge. Thursday evening, the 28th instant, the lodge will open its doors to the public, and plans are making for an interesting occa- sion. Saturday evening the lodge will at- tend the District school at Pérseverance Lodge,and Tuesday next the District Lodge will meet with Goodwill Lodge, at 610 7th street southwest. Mrs. Ella Money presid- ed over the social session, and under her direction the following program was ren-° dered: Piano solo, Miss Ellen Vockey; recitation, Miss Carrie Lanman; vocal solo, Mr. Rheinhard; remarks by the grand sec- retary; vocal solo by Mr. John M.

THE BAHEN BENEFIT. It Was a Great Success, Both Masically and Financially. Rarely, if ever, has Metzerott Music Hall contained such an enthusiastic audience as that which gathered last evening at the testimonial benefit which was given to George Bahen, the plucky little half-back of the Georgetown Foot Ball Club. Every one is familiar with the accident which has kept him confined to the Emergency Hospital since last Thanksgiving day, and on every side have been heard expressions of sympathy for his affliction. Those who were assembled at his benefit were fully in touch with the spirit of the occasion, and when a note was read from him, in which he thanked both those who had so gener- ously taken part in the program and those who composed the audience, ending with a fervent “God bless you,” his friends shook the building with the approval of his ap- preciation of their efforts. The stage was beautifully draped with American flags, while here and there show- ed the blue and gray of the Georgetown Law School, the promoters of the enter- prise, growing palms being also placed to great advantage around the entrance to the stage. The program was opened with the Georgetown University Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Clubs, followed by a number which was not down on the list, but which pleased the audience to a great extent. This was the umbrella dance by Ed. Bow- man, a pupil of Prof. Montgomery, and to it succeeded the Tuxedo Quartet,which had to repeat twice before the audience was satisfied. Then came the ever-popular Hub Smith,who sang in his own-inimitable man- ner two of his original songs, and the En- glish ballad, “Mrs. ’Enry ’Awkins.” Mr. Smith completely captured the audience, who would gladly have kept him on the stage for an hour. Mr. Edward J. Walsh then recited in a charming manner, being followed by Mr. Herman C. Rakemann,who played Ovide Musin’s “Caprice” in a fin- ished and artistic manner. His efforts were followed by Bach-Gounod’s “Ave Maria,” sung by Mrs. Anna Craig-Hills, in which Mr. Rakemann played the violin obligato. After an intermission of a few minutes the University Glee Club, under the direc- tion of P. J. O'Gorman, opened the second part of the program with the song “In Picardie,” being followed by Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, who sang the beautiful Cava- tina from Verdi's “Ernani.” Mrs. Noyes was in excellent voice, and her clear tones were heard to splendid advantage, both in her aria and in the encore, Tosti’s ‘“‘Good- Bye.” Miss Helina Chalmers then gave two recitations, being followed by the Phil- harmonic Quartet and Mrs. H. H. Mills. They sang Arthur Harris’ arrangement of “Loin Du Bal,” giving as an encore “The Old Oaken Bucket.” The program was elcsed by the Glee Club. The affair was under the direction of Mr. Percy Winter, and was financially, so- cially and musically a great success, and will undoubtedly reap a neat little harvest of dollars to Mr. Bahen. The patronesses were Mrs. Chief Justice Fuller, Mrs. Jus- tice Field, Mrs. Justice Brown, Mrs. ex- Chief Justice Waite, Mrs. Uhl, Mrs. James E, Kerr, Miss Norris, and Mrs. John F.

To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: Through the medium of your valuable paper I would like to ask for information in regard to the distributfon of the road tax in this, Arlington, district, Alexandria county, Va. We find some of our roads al- most impassable, others in good condition. There are three roads fronting the lands of some of our largest taxpayers in this district which have received but little benefit from the taxes paid for many years. ‘The road leading from Ballston to Colum- bia pike I do not think has ‘had $50 worth of work done on it in the last ten years. The old toll road from Jefferson district line to Fairfax county has had but little worR done on it outside of picking off a few stones for the last three or four years. On this road bridges and culverts are in much need of repair. The road running from the old toll road to Fort Myer was allowed $100 the past~year, through the generosity of our board of supervisors. The two roads last mentioned are traveled as much as any road in the county. The roads in the northern part of this district and in the vicinity of Rosslyn have been grayeled, oyster shelled and most won- derfully improved, and, I understand, are now free from mud holes. Why this sec- tion of the district should receive the benefit of all the funds is a mystery I would like solved. Our board of super- visors levied a tax of fifty cents on the $100 as a road tax. This amounts to nearly $4,000 for the district. A$ taxpayers, we who live on these roads are compelled to pay our portion of this tax. Why we should not derive some benefit from it is an- other mystery. This year we were to have a certain portion of the money derived from liquor license to work the roads. ‘This was a reason glven by some why we should have license—we would have good roads, Now we have the rum holes and mud holes, and God pity the man who should leave the rum hole in the condition some do and fall in the mud hole. He would never be able to extricate himself. A TAXPAYER, Arlington P. O., Va., March 4, 1895. 10c. for 25c. Brooms, Sat., Johnston’s.—Adv.

There was one happy child in this city last evening, and her happiness was due to the clever detective work of Detective Maurice Quinlan, who found the fourteen- year-old girl only after several days and nights of good work. The girl is named Anna Sterzinger, and her parents reside at Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The girl was taken in custody at the request of Chief of Police English of Calgary, who com- municated with the police department about two weeks ago. According to in- formation contained in. letters, from the chief of police, and J. B. Eshelman, an in- surance agent, the- girl came away from her home with a man known as Dr. Lov- inghart or Prof. A. Campbell, M. D. It ap- pears from the letters that the child’s fa- ther, who is poor, has a large family, and Prof. Campbell, thought to be a wealthy man, had promised to locate them on his ranch and give them employment. Before doing so, however, he was going to make a tour of the country and he kindly con- sented to take Anna with himself and his wife. After his departure the family be- came convinced that Anna would be bet- ter off at home than she would be with Campbell, and they became alarmed at not hearing from her. There was nothing complimentary said about the doctor, and when the letters had been read and In- spector Hollinberger turned them over to Detective Quinlan the latter went to work with his mind made up to find the girl, and last evening his efforts were rewarded. “I’m so glad you are going to send me home to mamma,” was the way in which the girl expressed her delight at being taken from the apartments in a boarding house on Pennsylvania avenue near the Capitol. The girl was turned over to the matron at the first police station and her parents were notified of what had been accom- plished. ——__ Several Fires. ‘There was a disastrous fire in Brookland about 7 o'clock last evening, and nearly all the residents of this auburban village turn- ed out and assisted in the effective work of saving household effects. The fire started in the stable of Moynted Policeman McNa- mara, and the horse in the burning struc- ture was saved before the flames reached the ground floor. Sparks from the stable set fire to the three-story frame house owred by Mr. J. Sullivan of No. 739 East Capitol street, and occupied by Mr. J. J. Hegan of the sixth auditor's Office and Mr. Scuthworth. While the houses were not burned to the ground, they were so badly damaged that they will probably have to be torn down. Nearly all the household effects of the two structures were saved and removed to vacant houses nearby, so that the two families were not homeless. The total loss is estimated at about $2,500 end is covered by insurance. About the time of the BrooKland fire there was a slight fire in the house of Frilip Holmes, No. 1912 12th street, which eas extinguished before much damage was lone. A lighted match thrown in a waste basket in a room over Warwick’s saloon, on 13th street, caused about $20 damage. No. 2 engine company extinguished the flames. ——.—__. Mr. Morsell Thanked.

THE WARREN SHOE HOUSE, Geo. W. Rich, 919 Eat 127-708 ADMITTED TO BAIL. Calvia Chase Free at Least for the Present. Wm. Calvin Chase, who was convicted Wednesday of criminally libeling Mr. C. H. J. Taylor of Kansas, at present the District. recorder of deeds, was yesterday afternoon released on bail by Judge Cole, bending the disposition of the motion in arrest of judgment and for a new trial. The release of the convicted man was op- posed by District Attorney Birney on the ground that it would be unusual and against precedent. Messrs. Campbell Car- rington, E. M. Hewlett and John M. Langston, on behalf of Chase, argued that the case was simply one of misdemeanor, and that the defendant had such interests here that he could not flee from the judg- |- pent of the court, even should he so de- re. In granting the motion Judge Cole re- ferred to the fact that the defendant was a resident of the District, and for that reason stood in a different position from a non-resident defendant. The offense of which he had been convicted was, after all, a mere misdemeanor, the punishment being wholly in the discretion of the court, as was the matter of admitting the de- fendant to bail, and, while not intending to make the present case a precedent, Judge Cole said that he had concluded to admit the defendant to bail, to await the judg- ment of the court. Mr. Birney stated that he would accept $1,000 bail, and Robert H. Key qualifying in that amount, Chase was released, to await the disposition of the motion in arrest and for a new trial.
