Berger, at their lovely home on 13th street extended, to meet Mr. and Mrs. Sol Smith Russell. The few friends invited were so cordially received and entertained the occasion assumed more the nature of a social neighborhood gathering than one for introductions. In a few instances it was the renewal of former acquaintance- ships, dating back to the days of the Swiss Bell Ringers, when the honored guest of the evening and host delighted the coun- try with the charming and novel style of their clever character sketches and tuneful songs. Pretty potted plants gave the re- cently handsomely decorated interior a tropical intimation, and cut flowers filled the parlors and halls with their fragrance. A supper was served at 1 o’clock, for which eighteen covers were laid, the table decora- ticns being in yellow, a mound of daffodils forming the center, with sprays of long stem Marchal Neil roses for the ladies, and bcutoniers of Perle de Jardin for the gentle- men. A unique and interesting idea was the name cards, on the left top corner of each of Which was most artistically hand- painted a design representing some char- acter or feature of Mr. Russell or his piays. After supper Mr. Russell entertain- ed the company most delightfully with a rumber of recitations. Those present were Assistant Secretary of State Uhl and Mrs. Uhl, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Rapley, Mr. and John A. Logan, Mr. and Mrs. G. i Mr. and M ‘right, Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. Hough. —_—_ She Preferred to Serve Time. Kate Maroney has been in the Police Court several times, charged with vag- rancy, but this morning the charge against her was disorderly conduct. She plead guilty and the clerk announced to her that the court had fined her $ or fifteen days. “Judge, your honor,” said Kate, “you've got $5 of mine. You may keep that and let me go.” But there was another charge against her. After her release on collateral last night she got arrested by another police- man, and in this case she was also fined. “Bet the money be applied in one case,” said the court, “and let her go down in the other.” “Oh, no,” said Kate, “if you won't let me go I'll take the mohey and stay down the whole time.” And the District money. did not get Kate's —_—_-__ Marriage Licenses.

SUDDENLY CALLED. George L. Clark Fatally Stricken To@ay With Apoplexy. Mr. George L. Clark died suddenly at noon today in his office, room 26, on the second floor of the Atlantic building. The probable cause was apoplexy. He was seated at his desk writing, while Dr. Simonds, a friend, was on the opposite sido of the room. Suddenly the latter heard heavy breathing and turning saw Mr. Clark about to fall from his chair. He _ sprang to his assistance and lustily called for help. In a few minutes physicians were in attendance, but their ministrations were unavailable. The deceased had been in ap- parently robust health and went to the depot early this morning to meet some ex- pected friends. Upon his return home he remaked that he had not brought back the visitors, but had acquired a pretty bad headache. He ate a hearty breakfast and went to his office. Shortly before he died he complained to Dr. Simonds of having a pair in his chest. The dead _man was a native of Platts- burgh, N. ¥., but came here many years ago to engage in the practice of the legal profession. He confined himself largely to pensions and claims before the d = ments, and was the attorney in a number of French spoliation claims, with remu- nerative results. He gained prominence in religious and social circles very soon after his settle- ment in this city, and was extremely pop- ular. He was a man of striking and ven- erable ——— and his massive head and ical features made him noticeable wherever he went. Genial in his inter- course and charitable to a fault, he was a militant Christian as well, and was re- garded as one of the leading Methodists in the south. He was a trustee of the Metropolitan Church, a Mason of high de- gree and a Knight Templar, and a member of the board of managers of the Sons of the American Revolution. Last year he made a pleasure trip to California, and had just completed arrangements to leave in June for a continental journey which would embrace Europe and the Holy Land. He was nearly seventy years old, He re- sided at 119 C street northeast, with his daughter, Mrs. E. L. Harvey, an@ his son- in-law, and besides Mrs. Harvey he leaves two other children—Rev. M. Walling Clark, a minister of Rome, Italy, and John C, Clark, a lawyer in New York city. —_—._-—_ CRUSHED UNDER THE WHEELS. A Boy Killed by Being Run Over by Express Wagon. The colored boy who was run over and fatally injured at the corner of 2d street and Massachusetts avenue, as printed In yesterday's Star, proved to be Augustus Brown, eight years old, son of Dominick Brown, who lives at 209 G street north- west. The injured boy was taken to the Emergency Hospital in the sixth precinct patrol wagon, where he died at an early hour this morning and his body was taken to the morgue. It appears that a party of boys were playing in the street when one ot Springman’s heavy flat wagons came along. The driver of the four-horse team, a colored man named Joseph Garner, no- ticed the boys jumping on the wagon and he called to them to be careful, warning them that some of them might get injured. He was afraid to call to them to get off, fearing lest he might scare them and in their hurry they might jump beneath the wheels. The horses were not going fast at the time and the driver continued on his journey, thinking the boys would soon get tired and would leave without any trouble. But the Brown boy was the un- fortunate one in the party, and he managed to fall in front of the rear wheel, which passed over his head, crushing the skull. The boy presented a frightful appearance when picked up and sent to the hospital. His skull was crushed and he was other- wise injured by being dragged a short distance by the wagon.
