Tilford the north 60 feet by width of lot 180 in Barr and others’ sub, square 40. The reports of the real estate agents here, substantiated by the records of the District, show that within the ten days just passed property to the value of over $50,000 has changed hands. The conveyed pieces are confined to no particular section, but are in all parts of the town. It is believed that Georgetown is about to enter upon such a brisk-season as has not been experienced here for three sea- sons. Builders say that contracts are com- ing in upon them steadily. There is a sur- prising amount of construction going on here. That there is much faith in George- town property is evidenced by the houses that are being put up for speculative pur- poses. There is a more decided tendency toward western construction than ever be- fore. All available and purchasable land west of 34th street particularly is being sought after. Within a few days contracts will be sign- ed for the erection of two large rows on P and on 34th*streets, which will involve the expenditure of over $30,000, and many other improvements of considerable conse- quence are in contemplation that will ripen before the week is out. The Sabbath school of Mt. has arranged an interesting program for Easter evening at 7:30 o'clock. At the morning service there Rev. S. Aiken Lewis will preach, and the choir will vender spe- cial music'arranged by Professor R. L. Parrott. Miss Lucy Berry will preside at the organ. The announcement has been made that Mr. Elmer E. Dwyer and Miss Annette Robertson, both of this place, were united in marriage on November 11, 18)4, in Bal- timore by the Rev. Mr. Crone. The ne came upon the friend of the principals in the affair with surprising effect. The marriage has been kept quiet owing to the serious illness of the bride's mother. Con- gratulations are now pouring in. neral Interest INNES. 2 Zion Church At a regular meeting of Independent Lodge, No. 14, I. O. G. T., last evening the supreme A. T. rs.

A track has been bullt recently, and is being put in first-class or- der now, that promises to be one of the fastest in the country. It is five laps to the mile, and the outside has been raised so high that good time is assured. The meet has received the sanction of the League of American Wheelmen, which means that no cther meet recognized by that organiza- ticn can be held on that day within a radius of 200 miles of Washington, and this renders probable the presence of many of the cracks from Baltimore, Philadelphia and other near-by towns. There will be 1aces in both class A and class B, and the chences are that some well-known riders will be found in the ranks of the latter, who are not pure amateurs, according to the definition of the L. A. W. The scheme of ‘holding a spring meet in this city has been talked over in the C. A. C. for some time past and received favor- able consideration at the hands of the athletic committee of the club: The mat- ter came up before the board of governors at its meeting Thursday evening, and the idea was adopted with enthusiasm. All the preliminaries have not yet been consid- ered, nor has the schedule of events been made out, but there will probably be a number of races under a milé, a mile, and probably two and five miles. One of the principal events will be a mile race for revices, men who have never raced, and, as the sport has been taken up by so many new men within the past year, there should be a big field of entries. The Metropolitan Club numbers in its membership a good many riders who are able to make pretty good time on a track, and some of them are likely to be in the novice race. At any rate they will co-operate to make the meet a success. Sims, the local rider who carried everything before him in @lass A last year, l be a strong feature in the class B races this spring. He is riding under the Columbia colors. It is expected that the meet will be the biggest thing of the sort ever seen in this city, and will go way ahead of the races during the L. A. W. meet three years ago. The races then were on the Analostan Is- land track, which was not a fast one by any means. If the C. A. C.’s entrance into the racing field is anything like the suc- cess that it promises to be, efforts will be made to hold a fall meet which shall bring together all the cracks of the country, among them such men as Sanger, Tyler and possibly Zimmerman. These racing men have regular circuits for their sea- son’s work, and in order to secure their at- tendance, it would be necessary to make arrangements for the meet a good while in advance and select a date that would not conflict with their other engagements. f IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. The Gripman Who Wax Struck on the Hend With a Stone. William O. Dorsey, the gripman on the 14th street cable road who was struck on the head with a stone about two weeks ago by a colored boy named John McCul- lough, as published in The Star at the time, is in a critical condition, and it is feared he will die. The police of the eighth precinct removed him from his home on Steuben street to Garfield Hospital last evening, and the physicians think his con- dition is such that he can hardly recover. As printed in The Star at the time, Mc- Cullough, who is a huckster, was on Steu- ben street with a wagon selling produce and fish, and the gripman’s pet dog seemed ‘to give him a little uneasiness. It is charged that he either ill-treated the ani- mal or attempted to do so, whereupon the owner went out and called him to account. Then the trouble took place, and the in- jury inflicted was a painful one, and the victim lost considerable blood. It was thought at that time that he would soon recover, but instead of doing so he got worse. When taken to the hospital yester- day he seemed to be partially paralyzed. McCullough was arrested at the time of the occurrence by Detective Lacy after the precinct officers had been unable to get him. The prisoner is still in jail and will be held there to await the result ef Dorsey's injuries. ag General Athletic Notes. On Memorial day the New Jersey Athletic Ciub will hold a series of athletic and bicycle contests. The bicycle races will be an important feature. Chairman Gideon of the League of American Wheelmen has sanctioned the races. There will be two of them, one mile open and two mile open, and as the prizes are valuable gold stop watches, the leading class A riders of that section of the country will compete. The base ball nine cf Georgetown Univer- sity has canceled all the dates with lead- ing teams of the north, because the faculty has interdicted the trip. The reason for this is the loss of time in studies, and that the boys wotild not be under the super- vision of the college authorities. Harvard cycling men are contemplating an open invitation race meet for all col- leg® riders, to be held at Holmes’ Field some time after the annual intercol- legiate games. It fs thought likely that some sort of intercollegiate cycling asso- ciation may be formed as the result of the proposed coming together of student wheel- men. The Harvard Cycling Association will hold a meeting during the last week of the present month, and some plan for the formation of the organization may be then announced. The American yacht Vigilant sailed from Scuthampton for New York Thursday. A large number of persons were assembled to see her off, and a tug having on board a company of friends of Mr. Gould accom- panied her to Calshot Castle, which she passed at 4 o'clock, dipping her flag in reply to the whistling of the tug. a Syria Described. The Hall of Columbian University was filled last evening with an audience that certainly enjoyed a great treat in the lec- ture on Syria by Rev. Henry E. Jessup, who for thirty-nine years has been a mis- sionary in that far-away land. Dr. Ham- lin introduced Mr. Jessup, and he spoke under the auspices of the National Geo- graphic Society.. Mr. Jessup is a tall, spare, white-bearded old gentleman, who, like missiona’ in general, ha: most practical acquaintance with the actual conditions of life among the peo- yle is eve ard, interesting and at times eloquent. ‘He described from a large the geography, cities, rivers, moun- y, and gave view of the fauna and flora of together with its manifold re- The rage of camels, the multi- y of dogs, the legions of vultures, storks and eagles, the lions, jackals and hyenas were all described ‘interestingly. Wheat, Mr. Jessup says, will one day be a large and important’ product of vast areas of Syria. a The Late Paul Schultze. Paul Schultze, who committed suicide re- cently at Tacoma, Wash., was quite well known in this city. He came here fre- quently on business connected with the; ‘orthern Pacific lands. He was a sort of protege of Henry Villard, coming from Holland under the protection and at the suggestion of that gentleman. He was largely interested in the Puyallup lands around Tacoma, but Congress and the In- dian bureau have always been opposed to making good the contracts which the In- dians made to various land speculators around Tacoma, and Schultzé failed to realize the immense profits which he ex- pected from a purchase of the lands from Indians before the growth of Tacoma made theme so valuable. Schultze spent a con- siderable time in Washington trying to ure favorable legislation and favorable action from the Indian bureau. a Death of Frank H. Baxter. Mr. Frank H. Baxter, one of the leading singers of Washington and well known in musical circles generally, died this morn- ing at his residence, S24 7th street north- east. Mr. Baxter had studied under teach- crs here and afterwards under some of the leading masters of Europe. Returning to this country he filled engagements with the American »pera Company, the Boston Ideals and Sther organizations, taking lead- ing tenor roles. Failing health compelled him to leave the stage and he made this his permanent home. He was thirty-two years of age and unmarried. Although in bad health for some time past his death came rather unexpectedly. the east, sources.
