Hall, 8, 908 F. sase00 A CLEAR CASE OF BUNCO. A Shrewd Chap Swincles a Young Englishman Out of $250. Richard Godward, a young Englishman, who came to this city several weeks ago for the purpose of bettering his condition financially, is now almost penniless. He left his boarding house at 417 6th street Sunday morning a week ago and went out for a stroll. While in the neighborhood of the Executive Mansion he made the ac- quaintance of a man whose pleasant man- ner made him feel as if he had known him all his life. Together they went around lcoking at the different public buildings, and the young Englishman was so well pleased with his new friend, who said his name was Richard H. King,.that he met Kim the following day and several times afterward. One day King told Godward that he was looking for a partner in the carpet clean- ing business, and exhibited a card bearing the advertisement of the “Crown Carpet Cleaning Company.” “I want a partner who has $400,” he said to Godward, “and then we can make lots of money.” He told Godward he had been awarded prizes at the world’s fair for his chemical. “If I had the $400,” said Godward, “I would go in partnership with you, but 1 only have $250." King did not allow the little difference of $150 prevent the!r becoming partners, and accepted the $250 and a gold watch and chain as security fer the balance. King had taken Gotlward to his room and showed him the effect of tne fluid on the carpet, and Godward was under the belief that in the near future he would be on the froad to wealth. The day after he parted with his funds it was arranged that he was to meet King at a notary’s office to formally enter into an agreement, but King did not appear,and yesterday Godward made a complaint to the police. Last evening the detectives investigated the case, but were unable to find King, who had left his boarding house. The police have a good description of him and will notify the authorities of other cities to look out for him. —— National Educational Association.

THE NEW COMER MAY CROSS THE OCEAN Reported Descent of Japanese _ Fleet on Formosa. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS CANNES, France, March 14.—That crack cutter, Ailsa, again defeated the Britannia today, and beat her twelve minutes, demonstrating that if she is sent over to sail for the America’s cup she will be a formidable competitor, . In a light southeast breeze, which prom- ised to increase in strength as the day wore on, Ailsa, Britannia and Corsair start- ed at 11 o’clock in the race for the Ogden Goelet and James Gordon Bennett chal- lenge cup No. 1 (now held by the Britan- nia), valued at 300 guineas, for ail yachts over twenty rating. From the moment of crossing the line Ailsa pulled away from Britannia and in five minutes had a long lead. If she continued sailing at that rate it was estimated she was bound to win by over fifteen minutes. The cdurse was triangular and about thirty miles in length. The promenade and all other points of vantage ashore were crowded with people eager to witness the contest. Ailsa allowed “| Britannia 1 minute 13 seconds, Corsair 19 minutes 42 seconds. Mr. Ogden Goelet’s steam yacht Whyte Ladye and other yachts had large parties on_board. The Prince of Wales drove to the quay some time before the race and embarked in the launch belonging to Mr. Richard Wins- low, which conveyed him on board Britan- nia. The party included Mr. and Mrs. Richard Winslow, the latter wearing a Britannia ribbon around her sailor’s round cap. When the yachts left their moorings a light southwest breeze was blowing and there was every prospect for a fine day's racing. The sun shone brightly and the weather was quite warm. Lut the wind shortly before the start veered around tu the southeast, ani when the start was made, at 11 o'clock, the racers commenced a beat of two miles to the first mark boat at St. Honorat. All three of the racers carried club topsails and jib topsails, which they held on to up to the windward mark. The preliminary maneuvers were most skillfully carried out and the handlers of the new cutter showed themselves more than a match for Capt. Carter of Britan- nia, who is noted for his smartness in get- ting first over the line. Ailsa crept under Britannia’s lee, then reached along prettily, and just before the starting gun was fired she wore uround smartly, dashed over the lin8 and was her own length and some daylight ahead when Britannia followed her. The Start. The times of the three yachts on cross- Ing the starting line were: . M.S. Corsair 00 O01 Allsa . 00 2 Britannia 00 50 The first board was on the starboard tack and toward shore, and in a few min- utes Ailsa pulled clean away from her competitors and was at the head of the procession and increasing her lead rapidly. In the board which they subsequentiy made out into Napoule Bay, Ailsa went ahead to windward in a manner which was really astounding and which put into the shade any burst of speed which Vigilant was ever able to develop on this side of ths Atlantic. 5 After one long board in a westerly direc- tion, Ailsa came around on the starboard tack and fetched beautifully across the bay toward St. Honorat Island. But Corsair, which had been working short tacks, prov- ed to have taken the shorter course to the first mark boat. On rcunding the St. Honorat mark boat on the first round Ailsa’s lead was 2 min- utes 11 seconds on Britannia. The big yachts, after tacking around the St. Honorat mark, had a broad reach of four miles to the mark boat off Aiguille Point in a steady breeze, and, with all her gear in good working order, topsail fitting splendidly with the new topmast, Ailsa was pulling clear away from Britannia. Round- ing the second mark boat, on the first round, off Aiguille Point, Ailsa’s lead wa: 2 minutes 43 seconds, over the Prince of Wales’ cutter. She was showing her su- periority on every point of sailing, and she was pronounced a sure winner of the race, barring accidents. Britannia Gained Before the Wind. After the yachts had gybed around the Aiguille mark boat they ran home with a light wind from abaft the starboard beam at first; but which afterward worked around further aft. The effect of the breeze, however, was considerably lessen- ed, so far as the two big racers were con- cerned, by the fact that’a heavy sea was running. britannia set her spinnaker, but the wind was hardly far enough aft to en- able the big sail to do goou service. Later on, Ailsa set a squure running sail, and inthis spread of cantas they ran on to the finish of the first round. On this leg, cuntrary to expectations, Britannia, through bringing with her the freshening wind, finished the first round only 1 minute 51 seconds behind Ailsa. In the beat to the St. Honorat mark boat, which followed, Ailsa’s wonderful weather- ly qualities were again strikingly iilus- tratcd, and when the first mark boat off St. Honorat was weathered on the second round AHsa had a lead of 3 minutes 47 seconds on Britannia. By this time the sky had become clouded and the wind was growing in strength, causing the racers to sail along at increas- ed speed in the broad reach to the Aiguille mark. Rounding the mark boat off Aiguille Point, on the second round, Ailsa led Brit- annia by 4 minutes 1 second, and was gaining. : On the run home, in the second round, the wind was on the quarter, and @ true test of the ability of the new cutter was the result. It showed that on this point of sailing Ailsa made a substantial increase in her lead on Britannia. ‘The times of the two yachts at the end of the second round were: =: Ailsa + 1 29 31 Britannia «1 36 OF Ailsa Continues to Gain. Ailsa continued to gain throughout the third round, showing herself off to great advantage in the broad reach between St. Honorat and Aiguille Point. A better breeze was blowing then than at any other time, and the new cutter showed herself to be beyond a doubt faster than Britannia. Reunding the mark boat off Aiguille Point, on the third round, Ailsa had a lead of 9 minutes 10 seconds on Britannia, and she continued increasing her lead. As Ailsa came flying along, near the fin- ish, she presented a beautiful sight, with the sunlight playing on her sails, while Britannia, in a dark spot, seemed to be miles behind. The Finish. The times of the yachts at the finish were: H. Ailsa .... Britannia ‘Ailsa consequently won by 13 minutes 13 seconds actual time, and, deducting the time allowance of 1 minute 13 seconds, due Britannia, the new cutter beat the Prince of Wales’ yacht by 12 minutes, corrected time. a Atpletic Meeting Postponed. LONDON, March 14.—Owing to the re- cent ‘cold weather, the athletes of Ox- fcrd University have been unable to train for the annual athletic meeting with the Cambridge University team, and that event, in consequence, has been postponed until July 3. Mr. C. Jack- son, treasurer of the Oxford Unive sity Athletic Club, has written to the As: ciated Press, saying that the changed date might facilitate a meeting with an Ameri- can college team, if one is coming to Eng- land, as both the Oxford and Cambridge athletes will be in training in July. i Way WNL ith; Ay ig i ly Mh TRS le Ne THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP. THE WEATHER, A Cold Wave Coming—The Story of The Map. The storm which appeafs of the south- east New England coast this morning de- veloped over the middle Atlantic states during Wednesday. This storm has been attended by general reins and warmer weather in the middle Atlantic and New England states. The storm in the south- west has changed position but slightly, and, in connection with an area of high barometer of great magnitude, which has moved southwestward oyer the northwest- ern states, has produced rain in the south- ern and snow in the western states. The advance of the northwest high area has also been attended by an unusually severe cold wave for the season over the lake re- gion, the Ohio and upper Mississippi val- leys, the western and the northern por- tions of the southwestern states. By Sun- day the cold wave will have overspread the b middle Atlantic and New England stafes. Forecast Till § p.m. Friday.

THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Director Walcott Has Made His Annual Report of Work Done. The Results Accomplished by the Thirty-Two Parties That Were in the Field. Director Walcott of the geological sur- vey has made his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. Relative to topography, he says that there have been thirty-two parties in the field during the past year in addition to triangulation par- ties. The total area surveyed was about 30,000 square miles, of which 23,000 was new work and 7,000 a Tevision of work previously done. The portion of the geology gives in great detail the results that have been accompitshed. In the New England region work hisbeen completed in the Rhode Island Coalfields, and far advanced in Massachusetts, in the exami- nation of various rocks. Jn eastern New York the mappéng of 2 square miles cov- ering the roofing slatd: bajt has been in progress. Tracings have*boen made show- ing that coal areas extendsfrom far up in Pennsylvania throughithe mountainous region of the entire Appklachian basin. In eastern Tennessee andswestern North Carolina thé coal survey: his been about completed. Work: hasxbesn commenced, but not completed, im:aofthern Georgia. ‘A careful examination hasibeen made cf the bornite deposits ot a and Ala- bama. abe © Gora in thh Shen An examination of ‘supposed. phosphate lands in southeastern Tennéssee and north- ern Georgia and Alatiama définitely proved the absence of phosphate. . An examination of the gold areas in the south has been made, mainly in Georgia and the Caro- | linas. The report says: “The auriferous | deposits of this region are divided into | three group: enort relative to one in Georgia trending in a | rertherly direction through Dahlonega, tn | that state. It has important expansions in Alabama and North Carolina. A second | belt extends in a similar direction west | of the South mountains in North Caro- lina. A third belt trends in the same direc- tion through Charlotte, N. C., reaching into South Carolina and nearly to the Vir- ginia line.” The seventy-five mines that have been worked do not show great richness, though some of them have paid well. Surveys made by private parties, but under the direction of the bureau, have been about completed of ‘the iron fields of the Michigan district, covering about 200 square miles. The soils of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin have been examined, also the water'supply, and nat- ural gas possibilities ascertained. Work has progressed in the Rocky moun- tains region. Surveys have been made in Montara for coal as well as other min- erals, and with good results. Idaho has also been visited, but no accurate surveys made and only casual examinations of the mines. The Leadville Mining Districts. A re-examination of the Leadville mining districts has been made. Mr. Emmons, who made the original examination, as well as the re-examination, asserts that although a considerable amount of silver is carried in the ores, there will be an in- creased percentage of gold. He also pre- dicts that other valuable gold deposits will be found. Colorado has been quite thor- oughly examined, not only as to precious metals but for iron and coal as well. Especial attention has been given to the Cripple Creek district. In the Pacific re- gion surveys have been resumed upon the gold belt of California. Twenty-seven square miles in the vicinity of San Fran- cisco were surveyed, and the subject of an artesian supply of water for the towns on the eastern side of San Francisco bay studied. While a large portion of the report is de- voted to scientific matters, there is consid- erable information of a practical nature of much interest. ——_+o+__ THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox.

Says the Pennsylvania Hailroad is Responsible—Brotherhood of St. Andrew and Other Notes. The Star correspondent had a long talk with Dr. G. R. Abbott, president of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company, in regard to the numerous causes of complaint that had arisen against his company recently. In speaking of the two mud holes at the intersection of King and Fayette and King and Henry streets the doctor said: “We have asked the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to put in those crossings several times, but they seem to have taken no notice of it. We have had the iron ready for several months. You know -when we cross a railroad ft Is their business to put in the crossing and when they cross us we have to do the work. ‘The citizens will have to await the pleas- ury of the Pernsylvania Railroad Company to have these dengerous and unsightly holes fixed unless the authorities see fit to take some summary acticn in the matter, which they do not seem disposed to do. In speaking of the Wilkes street connec- tion with the Southern railway, which was the cause of an injunction being sued out eral days ago, Dr, Abbott said: “This fs no fight of ours. It is the land company’s doings. They were too hasty in the matter and should have first obtained the consent of the citizens to put in the switch, and then had the ordinance passed. All we had to do with it was to put in the connection under a contract, and we were working under the permission of the ordi- nance at the request of the Southern Rail- way Company.” Dr, Abbott thinks, with a great many of the citizens, that the South- ern Railway Company should be made to its tracks from Wilkes street en- tirely and use the roadbed laid for the old | Manassas Gap railroad in reaching the strand. The surveys for the line to Wash- ington, the doctor says, will be ready for him sometime next week, when the route will be decided upon, and as soon as the weather settles the construction will be be- gun. There will be no change in the street schedule, but the cars will aim to meet every boat and train, thus making a trip every fifteen or twenty minutes. ‘The doctor seemed very bitter against the Penrsylvania road for not putting in the crossing on King street, as until that is done the King street extension is prac- tically useless. Brotherhood of St. Andrew. A large number of the members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew attended the special services at Grace Church last night, and the services were yery interesting. Rev. R. A. Castleman of Herndon, Va., delivered a highly entertaining address, which was much enjoyed. The regular semi-monthly meeting of St. Paul's Chapter of the Brotherhood will be held tonight, and some important busi- ness will be transacted.

It was agreed to weigh in at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the fight, and if either should be above the stipulated limit of 147 pounds he forfeits to the other the sum of $100, Peckham wHen seen this morning seemed confident of success, and says this will be the battle of his life.

It was opened a few months ago and stocked with the United States postal exhibit which did duty at the world’s fair, supplemented by many curiosities which have been hidden for years in nooks and crannies of the department building. ‘The number of visitors has been steadily in- creasing, and now nearly every pilgrim to the down-town departments lingers there. Postmaster General Bissell and Superin- tendent Thomas express themselves as gratified by the success of the experiment, It is Not in a Good Condition for Ordinary Travel. THE PENNSYLVANIA RR. C03 PROMISES Major Davis Has Difficulty in Get- ting Their Fulfillment. NEEDED WHAT Is Maj. Davis, the engineer officer in charge of the Potomac river improvements, which includes a supervision over the Long bridge, is having considerable difficulty in keeping the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany up to its obligation to maintain the Long bridge in good condition “for rail- way and ordinery travel.” He has repeat- edly called the attention of the officers of the road to the fact that the roadway of the bridge was in bad condition, and that unless promptly repaired it would become impassable. On the 20th ultimo he wrote Mr. Brown, chief engincer of the rcad, at Philadelphia, that he had received a letter from Mr. Walker, a brick manufacturer, complain- ing of the impassable condition of the road leading to the bridge. Mr. Walker said that it was impossible for teams to pass without danger, and that on the evening of the 18th ultimo, in passing a team, his bugsy was upset und he narrowly escaped injury. Maj. Davis requested the railroad company to attend to this matter at its earliest. convenience. The following day he received a brief letter from Mr. Brown, saying that the subject of the repair of the road had been referred to Mr. Kenney, the general superintendent at Washington,with the request that he have the matter looked into as soon as possible. Nothing apparently was done up to the 2ith ultimo, and on that day Maj. Davis felt impelled to telegraph Chief Engineer Brown that he had received numerous complaints of the bad condition of the bridge and would like him to give the mat- ter immediate attention. On the Ist in- stant Mr. Brown replied by telegraph that the local superintendent at Washington had promised to put men at work to repair the bridge on tHfat day. A Petition From Business Men. Subsequently Maj. Davis received the fol- lowing petition: “We, the undersigned, re- spectfully call your attention to the cause- way between the north end of Long bridge and the south end of the 14th street bridge. During the latter part of February and early March of this year and at various times in previous years the causeway was and has been in such condition as to be dangerous and almost impassable. In- asmuch as these conditions of the present causeway are bound to exist at times, we suggest and earnestly ask for the estab- lishment of a proper and easy grade from the north end of Long bridge to the south end of the lith street bridge, and that to this established grade a substantial, first- class road (highway) be constructed and maintained.” The petition bears the sig- natures of the following named firms: W. H. West & Bro; W. T. Walker & Co.; William L. Read; William C. Morrison; The Virginia Brick Co., by C. B. Pearson, pres- ident; The New National Brick Co., by Jno. Miller, owner; Washington Hydraulic Press Brick Co., by H. Wells, general manager; C. F. Wilkins & Son; McDowell Sons; E. E. Jackson & Co.; W. E. Galliher & Bro., and Thomes Somerville & Sons. Maj._D: forwarded this petition to Chief Engineer Brown of the Pennsylvania road at Philadelphia, under date of the 9th instant, with an accompanying letter, in which he said: “I inclose herewith a copy of a petition signed by well-known business men, representing brick-making, lumber, produce, ete., who do a great deal of heavy teaming across the Long bridge causeway. “The roadway, owing to the raising of the flats to the northward, is now too low and should be raised and graded in the manner asked for by the petitioners, the present method of dumping on a layer or two of gravel being but temporary at Lest and of Goubtful-utility, as the road is not properly drained. I have to request that you give this subject your careful consideration. What in Needed. No response to this communication has yet been received, but one is looked for in a short time, as the company is usually very prompt in its replies. According to a gentleman interested in this matter, the railroad company has never failed in the matter of promises, its dereliction being chiefly in the important matter of perform- ance. The roadway is now undergoing re- pairs, such us they are; but, as Maj. Davis says, they are merely temporary and will have to be constantly renewed. According, to Maj. Davis, the causeway ought to be raised, rolled and graded in order to secure a better system of drainage. He thinks that a steam roller could be used to ex- cellent advantage in making a good road- way, which in the end would be an econom- ical undertaking on the part of the rail- road company inasmuch as it would greatly reduce the expense of repairing the bridge. ee een TROUBLE IN A CHURCH. Hilledale Methodists Prefer Against Each Other. Campbell African M. E. Church of Hills- dale is torn with internal strife. Rev. Mr. Ovelton, the pastor, and Mr. W. H. Liver- pool, a trustee, are making charges against each other, and the congregation is look- ing on with interest. Preacher Bowen has publicly accused Trustee Liverpool of incit- ing disturbance by circulating false and malicious tales against Trustee Henry Dor- sey, who was once a popular lamplighter in that section. It is alleged that Mr. Liver- pool said that Dorsey had misappropriated $700 of the funds of the church. An in- vestigation exonerated Mr. Dorsey. Formal charges of unchristian conduct were pre- ferred against Mr. Liverpool by Mr. John W. Scott, and, on motion of Mr. Timothy Smith, the offending trustee was expelled. He has been granted a new trial, and this is now in progress. Mr. Liverpool has brought charges against Mr. Dorsey and says he will bring charges against Pastor Ovelton. Mr. Liverpool told a reporter for ‘The Star this afternoon that he would soon be heard from, and intimated that Rev. Mr. Ovelton would be vanquished in the pass- age-at-arms. Campbell A. M. E. Church has had five pastors within two years. Pastor Ovelton succeeded Pastor Bowen, who followed Pas- tor Nicholson, who was preceded by Pastor Nichols, who started work when Pastor Peck left off. It is understood that the churgh is considerably involved. ————__ A New Game to the Lawyer. A colored man named Lee Thompson, who keeps what the police call a “pig's- foot joint”, at the house known as the “Triangle,” corner of 10th street and Rhode Island avenue, was acquitted in the Police Court today of a charge of permitting gaming on his premises. Lawyer Carring- ton, in stating the case, said there was only one pack of cards in the place, and the men were playing 2 gutie entirely new to him. Charges as what they call playing for said the lawyer. “When I was a boy we played knucks, But this is new to me.”” After Thompson's acquittal he was ar- rested by Detectives Weedon and Lacy on a charge of receiving some stolen meat, and this case will come up for trial tomor- row. : ——_->—__ Catching Binck Bass. Sixteen black bass, weighing from one to two pounds each, were caught in the nets at the mouth of Occoquan creek yesterday. aS Secretary Gresham Improving.
