In a deed filed yesterday transferring church property at 22d street and Virginia avenue from the vestry of St. John’s parish to the vestry of St. Michael's and All Angels, the consideration being placed at $1, the stipulation is made that seats in the church shall always be free, and that sittings shall always be provided for the children of St. John’s Orphanage. aed Journcymen Horseshoers. The journeymen horseshoers and master horseshoers held a joint social meeting last night. Experiences were exchanged and a pleasant evening enjoyed. —— Death of Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Martha M. Williams, widow of William Minor Williams, died at her residence, 2317 H street, yesterday morn- ing. Mrs. Williams was an old resident of Washington and a member of the Nine- teenth Street Baptist Church for over for- ty years. Her husband was a veteran of the Mexican war. She leaves two sisters. a The Late Peter Procter. The interment of Peter Procter, for many years the foreman or sexton of Oak Hill cemetery, took place yesterday at the cem- etery. Mr. Procter was appointed to this Position in 1875, and served in that capac- ity until 1890, when, by reason of the in- firmities of age, he was obliged to retire. He_was born in Elgin, Scotland, May 20, 1815, and left there in January, 1839, and went to Jamaica, where for some fourteen years he was the overseer of a large su- gar plantation. He came to this country in 1853, landing in Baltimore, and for some twenty years he was employed as farm overseer in Baltimdére county. He was a typical Scotchman, a great admirer of Burns, and a faithful, intelligent man, ren. dering valuable service and gaining the re- spect of those with whom he was asso- elated. —_-__ Also a Jail Sentence. Today, in Judge Miller's court, a woman named Minnie Thompson, who keeps a dis- reputable house at 1217 C street, was held guilty and sentenced. The police have had considerable trouble about this house, and also with. the woman, who is addicted to the use of intoxicants. Some months ago she was raided, and let off upon payment of a fine of $25. Today a similar tine was -imposed, and, in addition to this, the court imposed a sentence of ten days in jail, which came in the nature of a surprise to the woman, although the court has stated that the imposition of fines amounted to nothing more than a license, and he had concluded to impose penalites which might be effective. a _————— Two Petitions for Divorce. A petition for divorce has been filed by Charles against Emily Smith, and one by May against John Tolburg. In each case the papers were withheld from publication. -_ A Verdict for 8800. In the suit for $25,000 damages filed by Peter R. Scutt against the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company the jury has returned a verdict for $800. During the G. A. R. encampment Mrs. Scutt was in- jured while alighting from a car at 7th and 4 streets, and the verdict represents the less experienced by the plaintiff in the loss ot his wife's services for six weeks. a Reduced Rates ote the Royal Blue ne.

Next Saturday the soup house on Louis- jana avenue will close for the season, When the place closes the police expect that the number of tramps and other strangers here, who are dependent upon the charitable people for support, will de- crease. Today there were several of these strangers in Judge” Kimbali’s procession, and among them was a young man who has been here since racing at Alexander Island started. His name was given as Edward J. Foster, and the charge against him was vagrancy and suspicion.- “I am not guilty,” was his plea. “This morning about 3 9’clock,” said Po- liceman Hamiiton, “I saw this man stand- ing on Gth street, and when I spoke to him he said he was waiting for his friend, who was in the dairy lunch.” The officer explained that the man made conflicting statements, and finally he said he was stopping at the National. This statement was investigated, and found to be without foundation. Then he was ques- tioned about his friend in the lunch room, and he said he did not know the friend’s name, nor did he know him by sight. “You did perfectly right to arrest him,” said the judge. “What have you got to say?” the prisoner was asked. He told the court how he happened to be cut late at night, and said he meant no harm. : “Where do you belong?” “I came here from New York city.” What is your business?” "m a card writer at the race track.” “If he does just what he says he does,” said the judge, ‘he’s a tough.” He was sentenced to give security in the sum of $50 or go down for fifteen days. Ella Randolph, a colored woman from Louse alley, next appeared on a charge of vagrancy. The fact that she lives in Louse alley was against her, and it required but a short time for the court to hold her in real estate security. She failed to give security, and went down. Thomas O'Donnell was complained against by his brother James as being an habitual drunkard. “He's all the time drunk,” was the broth- er’s statement. “Does he de any work?” “He does once in a whil ‘He brings some of it home and spends the balance in whisky.” “How frequently does he cated?” “He's drunk about three weeks out of four.” James also told the court how Thomas comes home drunk and causes trouble. Thomas promised to take the pledge if the court would release him, but the judge knew him too well and sent him down for ninety days, in default of bonds. Followed the Races, William Smith, a stranger, said he work- get intoxi- ed at the race track and had followed the races for twelve years. ~ z “That,” the judge remarked, “shows what kind of a man you are.” “This man,” said a policeman, “is one of the men ‘known as race-track touts across the river.” He told the court that this man had been loafing about Pennsylvania avenue and Gth street, “and,” he added, “he has become a nuisance.” Last Saturday night, while under the in- fluence of liquor, he went in a lunch room and was thrown out by the proprietor. The prisoner told of his employment at the race track, and said that while he stays over there in the day time he sleeps here in the city at night. ° “Why don’t you sleep over there where you_belong?” the judge asked. “There are no good quarters over there,” he answered, “‘and a person is liable to get chills and fever.” “That would be a good thing,” the judge told him. “If you men got the chills aud fever it would drive you out.” A sentence of thirty days was imposed, the judge saying that the sooner these men understand they were not wanted here the better it would be, both for the city and_ themselves. Fred Sherman said he stopped here last night on his way home from Florida. “Where is your home?” “In Cleveland, Ohio.” “Why did you go to Florida?” “Looking for work.” He was found looking for a warm berth in the freight yard, and the judge released him, under promise that he would leave the city at once. : Several Other Cases. Joseph ‘Smith, colored, and Wm. O'Don- oghue stopped at the police station last night on their way tomo particular place, and they will be guests of Intendent Stout- enburg for five days. Jane O'Day, an old offender, appeared, after an absence of several months. “I found her in a stoneyard last night, under the influence of liquor,” the officer said. “I mend umbrellas for a living,” was the woman's statement. She will not mend any more for thirty days. William J. Glennan, a stranger, who was found begging on Pennsylvania avenue last night, was sent down for a month. Emanuel White, an old colored man, plead guilty to a charge of violating the liquor law. z -“He’s a walking ‘speak-easy,’” said the policeman. 5 Tho proof did not sustain the charge, and the old man was acquitted, os Mr. MeKnew’s New Departure. Mr. McKnew, who has conducted most successfully for several years the dry goods establishment formerly owned by R. H. Taylor, and who has so maintained the high reputation which that establishment enjoyed for years under Mr. Taylor’s man- agement, recently decided to add a feature to the store. Mr. McKnew today opened a new department to be devoted to men’s furnishings. He has laid in a stock of men’s furnishings which he feels sure will attract buyers when the fact becomes known. A feature of the department will be the making of custom shirts to order, and only the highest grades of goods wili be made up. A large stock-of fancy shirt- ings for outing and summer wear is ayail- able. Mr. MeKnew will also sell Dr. Jaeger’s sanitary woolen underwear, hay- ing obtained the agency for these goods. The men's furnishing department is located near the front door and is under the charge of Mr. James A. McElwee. ——____ Rev. Dr. Bartlett's Successor. The committee appointed by the congre- gation of the New York Avenue Presby- terian Church to recommend a successor for Rev. Dr. Bartlett, the late pastor, has not as yet reached a decision. It is ex- pected by the committee that a recom- mendation can be made some time next month. Mir. John Randolph,chairman of the com- mittee, today said: “The announcement that the committee which was appointed to select a successor to Rev. William A. Bartlett in the pulpit of the New York Avenue Church has voted to extend a cail to the Rey. Arthur T. Pearson of Philadel- phia is not trve. The committee has never considered his case at all. —_—_— ise Pretenses Charged. Marcus Notes, a second-hand furniture dealer, has sworn out a warrant for Chase B. Harrington, charging him with false pretenses. Harrington, who is a well-known citizen, and has relatives in the United States navy, lives at 621 E street north- west. Harrington, it is alleged, sold Notes gome furniture, on which there was a cha el mortgage of $100, and Notes allege that Harrington claimed that the furniture was unincumbered. Notes paid Harri ton $70 on account, and afterward sw out the warrant. Friends of Mr. Harrington deny the al- legation of Notes and claim that there was no fa vresentation made at the time the sale effected. Although Mr. Harrington has not yet appeared to answer the charge, his friends say he will do so and they are coniident he will be exoner- ated. w WELLS AT FORT MYER.- Mr. Maish Says They Promise to Yield an Abundance of Pure Water. Mr. Levi Maish has made a statement in regard to the assertion of a correspondent of The Star that the water obtained from the wells sunk at Fort Myer was impure ‘and fit only for grosser uses. Mr. Maish says: “I am prompted to submit a few facts upon this subject that cannot be contro- verted. It is true, as stated, there are a nymber of wells on the reservation that yield small quantities of water of a de- cidedly poor quality. There was one well sunk there, however, of which your cor- respondent, otherwise apparently so well informed, seems to be entirely ignorant. This well possessed a capacity considerably over 100, gallons of water in twenty-four hours; sufficient to supply a city of 5,000 population.” Respecting the quality of water furnished by this well, Mr. Maish quotes # report made to him January 11, 1894, by Dr. W. M. Mew, the analytical chemist. This report inclosed a tabulated state- ment of the results of the analysis of the specimen of water which Mr. Maish for- warded to him for analysis. Dr. Mew said: “An inspection of this statement will show that it is an exceptionally good water in all respects; and, to reply to your re- quest for an expression of opinion as to its merits considered relatively to the Poto- mac water, I am bound to say that it is in all respects superior to it. Under the con- ditions given in your inquiry concerning the liability to pollution of the well water with surface drainage, I am clearly of the opinion that the iron casing of the well, tightly driven into solid rock to a distance of thirty inches would afford ample pro- tection from such pollution. The water, I should add, showed a slight turbidity,which is invariably to be found in newly made wells. This will shortly disappear.” Mr. Maish adds: .“‘It may be interesting to your readers to learn that when this well was about to be turned over to the government for use at the fort, where pure water was, and is now, in such dire need, it was one dark night so effectually plug- ged up that neither drills nor dynamite could reclaim it. I wish also to state, for the benefit of your correspondent, and also those who may have an interest in the subject, whatever that may be, that ‘the present hunt for the pure liquid’ promises to be eminently successful, both as to the quantity and quality of the water that will be obtained.” —— THE SCHOOL BOARD. Announced at the Meeting Last Evening. The regular monthly meeting of the board of trustees of public schools was held at the Franklin building yesterday afternoon. Before the public session a long conference was held by the trustees behind closed doors. Mr. Whelpley said the conference .related to private business, in which the public had no concern, and that ther? was really nothing to be sald about it. In open session the following changes were annourced and approved: Second division (A)—Appoint M. E. C. Walker teacher, sixth grade, vice S. C. Murray, resigned. Transfer F. V. Mon- throp, teacher, from sixth division (B), and assign to first grade, at $425 per annum, vice B. M. Adams, resigned. The above changes took effect March 1. Sixth division (B)—Appoint Helen M.

Changes —— A SARTORIAL FEAST. The Merchant Tailors Entertain Guests at a Banquet. Around a great T-shaped table the mem- bers of the Merchant Tailors’ Exchange of this city sat down to a banquet at the Down 'Tewn Club last night, together with representative tailors from Baltimore, in- vited for the occasion. President Owen seated Mr. Matthew Keifer, president of the Baltimcre exchange, at his right, and near at hand along the head table were Messrs. George H. Harries, C. C. F. Eich- ler of Baltimore, H. W. Frost of Baltimore, William E. Butcher of Virginia and E. B. Hay. President Owen made a brief ad- dress of welcome, after which an elaborate menu was discussed. It was 11 o’clock when Toastmaster Hei- berger assumed the duties of his office,pro- pesing the President of the United States as the first toast, which was drunk stand- ing. Mr. Heiberger then paid a compli- ment to the Baltimore exchange, and in- treduced President Keifer of that organi- zation, whose appearance was greeted with cheers. Mr. Keifer reviewed the history of the Washington and Baltimore organi- zations, and bore testimony to the good which had followed their establishment. Mr. Robert Phillips responded to the toast of “Fashion,” and Col. Wil Howard of Baltimore spoke upon the effect cf the new _tarift upon woolen textiles. Mr. Geo. H. Harries responded ‘to the toast of “Wagington,” Mr. Charles Bichler spoke of “Our exchange” and Mr. H. W. Frost of Baltimore discoursed on ‘“Irimmings.” Mr. E. B. Hay made a characteristic speech, and was followed by Messrs. W. KE. Butcher, George O. Wood and E. A. Grif- fith. ‘Among those present were Owen Owen, Matthew Keifer of Baltimore, R. H. Luke of Baltimore, F. C. Losano, J. A. Gries- bauer, G. O. Wood, Walter Snyder, Edward Potbury, Walter Potbury, E. F. Quast of Baltimore, J. F. Gatchel, C. B. Fonda, Fred Henkelman of Baltimore, E.

Pe ee te ea AMUSEMESTS.~ Boston Symphonyl: Orchestra.—The last of the series of cencerts! by the Boston Symphony Orchestra wasrgiven at Metzer- ott’s Music Hall 4ast utght,. and when Conductor Paur waved his baton for the opening strains of Mendelssohn's “Fingal’s Cave” overture the! halk:was filled with practically the samie brillant and appre- clative audience that has: attended every concert of this spleadid organization. This orchestra has gaimed im popularity each season, and thé holt] that dt has upon the music-loving publi¢ of Washington was never better demonstrated than by the large attendance that has greeted each appear- ance this season, Which has been an un- precedentedly unfortunate one for some of the best traveling organizations. This popularity is fully merited, for there Is no body of musicians in this country that com- pares with this orchestra, and’ those who have visited the great musical centers of Europe and heard the best orchestras there assert that none of those is equal in point of excellence to the Boston Symphony Or- chestra. The concerts of this orchestra are looked forward to,each year with the most pleasurable anticipation by all lovers of the highest class of music, and now that this season's series has closed it may be stated that Manager Ellis has already booked five concerts for next season, the first of which will be November 12 next. Last night's program was one that was extremely enjoyable, commeneing, as has been said, with the ““Fingal’s Cave” over- ture, which was played with great spirit and effect, and this was followed by Men- delssohn’s concerto for violin in E minor, which introduced Mr. Franz Kneisel as the soloist. Both the composition and Mr. Kneisel were well known to the audience, and both found favor. Mr. Kneisel is the concertmeister of the orchestra, and he has also been heard at the head of the ecellent quartet of strings that bears his name. He has also been heard in solo werk with the orchestra, and he always plays conscientiously and earnestly, dis- playing an intellectual rather than an emotional interpretation of his author's meaning, and bringing it out in full, round tones, with a technique that is nearly per- fect. Monsigny’s “Chaconne and Rigadon” was well received, the rhythmical and me- lodious dance movement causing many of the feminine feet to tap an accompani- ment, und at its conclusion it was well applauded. Dvorak’s “New World Sym- phony” had been here before. It demon- strates the greaj composer’s thorough knowledge of the fesources of an orches- tra, and his ingenuity in the treatment of themes founded on the negro melodies of the south. The Doppler arrangement of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was the concluding number of the program, and it was, perhaps, the best effort of the orchestra during the evening. At least, it seemed to so strike the audience, for the applause was long and emphatic. Lottie Collins.—Dainty Lottie Collins, who has danced her way into the hearts of thousands, will appear at the Grand Opera House next week, sup- ported by a specially selected company of operatic and vaudeville performers, known as “The Troubadours.” Comedy, operetta and vaudeville is included in the evening’s entertainment, Miss Collins appearing as the central figure in the comedy and opera, while the vaudeville portion will be ren- dered by such well-known performers as Wocd and Shepard, “Prince Henry and Albert of Guttenburg,” musical comedians; Anna Wilmuth, a ballardist of repute: Ward and Curren, a sweet-voiced duo, formerly members of the Clipper Quartet: those marvelous high-wire performers, the Meers Brothers, Marian, Hayes and Marian, and others. In the opera, “The Devilbird,” which has been especially written for Miss Collins, she will introduce her new song, “The Up-to-date Woman," and will have-as principal support the well-known comic opera comedian, Frederiek Solomon. The Gilmore Band Programs.—The pro- grams for the Gilmore Band concerts at the Grand Opera House on Sunday, matinee and evening, present much that is of the most attractive sort—bright, thoroughly or- chestral and ‘elevated. The matinee pro- gram is especially arranged for some ob- servance of the day (March 17), and all of part II is made up of Irish melodies. Part I is of grand concert order. The evening program is thoroughly grand concert, and ranges from the ‘“Tannhauser” overture, Wagner, to bright and taking fantastiques. The soloists are of rare cali- ber—Mme. Natali, prima donna; Victor Her- bert, violoncello; Pireda Stmonson, pianiste, the greatest child artist living: Herbert F. Clarke and Aldis J. Gery, autoharp. Seats on sale at the box office of the Grand Opera House. Popular prices. “The Silver King.”—“The Silver King,” considered by many to be the greatest melodrama ever written, will be the at- traction at Butler's Bijou Theater next week. Probably the reason that “The Sil- ver King” is a lasting success is due to the fact that it does not depend upon stage carpentry and scenery for interest, but rises superior to these accompaniments. Carl A. Haswin, who has played the lead- ing part of Wilfred Denver more than one thousand times, is now the sole owner of the American rights, and he has surround- ed himself with a capable support. The Passion Play.—Miss Janet Elizabeth Richards, who was one of the first to il- lustrate this play, and whose views and descriptions are of the highest order, will lecture in the Universalist Church, 13th and L streets, Friday evening, March Reilly and Woods’ Big Show.—The at- traction at Kernan’s next week will be the Reilly and Woods Big Show. This season the company adds to its long list of fea- tures the famous “Aerial Ballet” of women dancing and floating in mid-air. This novel act supplements an ollo of twelve strong specialty acts, followed by the spectacular production of “Hades Up To Date,” in which Pat Reilly is seen in the humorous characterization of “Old Sate.” Included on the roster of specialty artists are Per- Foe Ss ss Ss so > Strong Nerves i : Depend upon pure, rich, red, nourishing, strength-giving blood.

D., will de~ liver a lecture at Metzerott Music Hall, taking for his subject, “Dickens; His Pow- er and Pathos.” He is an-accomplished scholar and his analysis of the power and pathos of the great novelist will undount- edly be most interesting. Besides Dr. Staf- ford has high elocutionary attainments and will give in the course of his lecture extracts from some of the best works of Dickens. The lecture will be given for the benefit of the Carroll Institute. Tuxedo Club's Benefit—Next Sunday evening, at the Academy of Music, the largest orchestra of mandolins, ban- jos and guitars which has ever been heard in this city will participate in the testimonial benefit and sacred concert, which fs to be given under the auspices of the Tuxedo Quartet. _All of the more prom- inent clubs of the city have volunteered their services, and the rehearsal last Sun- day afternoon at the theater gave promise of a rare treat in this branch of music. Besides the mammoth orchestra, the quar- tet will be assisted by Mr. Ross Farrington, basso, of New York; Mr. Raymond Shaw, the phenomenal tenor, of New York; Mrs. Kitty Thompson Rerry, soprano; Mrs. Hat- tie Meads Smith, soprano; Mr. J. J. Fisher, barytone; Mr. Hub T. Smith, Mr. George O'Connor, Cullen and Collins, banjoists; the Mt. Pleasant Brass Quartet, and the National League Orchestra. Of course, the Tuxedo Quartet will render several selec- tions in their own peculiar style. Marion Harland’s Lecture.—The first lec- ture of the series of four on Palestine, to be delivered by Marion Harland, will be given at the Congregational Church, 10th and G streets northwest, this evening at 8 o'clock. The subject is ‘The Jerusalem of Today.” The subjects of the other lec- tures in the course are Eprath—which is Bethlehem, March 15; Our Syrian Sisters, March 18,’Olivet and Calvary, March 19. Course tickets, $1; single tickets, 35 cents. ——— The Golden Cross. At the last meeting of National Com- mandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, Noble Commander Clarence I. Gess- ford presided. Grand Commander Perry made a brief address and presented to Mrs. Annie E. Allen a Golden Cross pin, the prize won by her for securing the largest number of new members during the last term. He also presented a Golden Cross pin to Mrs. Belle M. Carter, noble com- mander during the last term, she being the only noble commander marked “perfect” during the late examinations in the duties of officers. At the next meeting, on March 25, the degrees will be conferred on ten candidates. At Trinity Commandery last evening Miss Susan A. Langley, noble commander, pre- sided. Visitors were present from National, Goodwill, Columbia, Mount Vernon, St. John’s and Halcyon commanderies. The commandery changed its meeting night to the first and third Mondays of each month, beginning March 13. E. J. Pattee was elected noble keeper of records, and, with Walker R. Hopkins, warder of the outer gate-elect, was installed by Deputy Grand Commander Wm. T. Kent. At the next meeting the degrees will be conferred. A vote of thanks was given to Past Grand Commander Ehle, who has been acting keeper of records. eS An Epworth League Social. The third social of the literary depart- ment of the Epworth League of Metro- politan M. E. Church was held last evening in the I&cture room. “American Authors” was the subject of the evening. The pro- gram consisted of a solo by Miss Mary Mc- Kee, reading by Miss Martha Haines, solo by Miss Stuart, a paper by Mr. Lewis Hemmeger, reading by Miss Collins and a solo by Miss Bertie Reichenbach. THE CITY’S HEALTH. ‘Am Improvement Shown in the Report for the Week. The reports made to the health depart- ment during the last week show an im- Provement in the general health of the city, as compared. with the preceding two weeks. The deaths numbered 126 as against 188 for the previous week, and the death rate fell from 26.32 to 24.22. The principal improvement was the falling off in acute lung diseases and the mortality among chil- dren under five years old. The cold weather still bears hard on aged ‘persons, of whom thirty-four who were over fifty years of age departed this life. The presence of grip is still manifest in causing six deaths, ac- cording to the reports received. None of the contagious diseases exist in epidemic form. Measles, whooping cough and scar- let fever contributed nothing to the mor- tality of the week, and there was but one fatal case of diphtheria reported. In con- sideration of this being one of the most un- healthy periods of the year, the hygienic condition of the city is not unsatisfactory. The whole number of deaths reported dur- ing the week was 126—white, 84; colored, 42. netsh were 90 births and 27 marriages re- port —_———.___ A bill in equity has been filed by Augus- tino Montegriffo against Wm.
