Two horses attached to a delivery wagon gf the Knabe Piano Company ran away yesterday afternoon, starting in the alley in the rear of Grand Army Hall, and finally colliding with and demolishing a buggy be- longing to Mr. Samuel Springman, and wrecking a bicycle at 13th and E streets. aS . Serious Accident. Last night, about 11 o'clock, Capt. R. B. Bradford of the navy and Mrs. Bradford came near being seriously injured by a cable train in front of the National Thea- ter. They had just left the theater, and while on their way to take a car they were struck by a 14th street train and knocked dcwn. Mrs. Bradford sustained a painful cut on her forehead, but her husband was not injured. The wound on Mrs. Bradford’s head was dressed at Ogram's drug store. ‘The affair, it is said, was purely an acci- dent, and no blame is attached to the grip- man. _ Took the Chips. Policemen Hartley and Duvall surprised a crowd of poker players in the house of a colored man named Fred Hall, No. 430 L street, Saturday night, and Henry White, ene of the men, jumped from the second story window. He landed in the back yard on his head, and was so seriously injured that he had to be taken to the hospital. The officers took the money, chips and eards found on the table, &hd the case was disposed of in the Police Court yester- day. Hall plead guilty, and was fined $10 and forty-eight hours in jail. ——— Fhe at Patent Office Yesterday After- noon.

READY TO DRIL Making Preparations for the Memphis |: ‘The Fencibles and the Morton Cadets Getting Down to Active Work— Changing the Rules. The program of exercises at the Mem- phis interstate drill has been arranged by the committee in charge and will prove of special interest to the members of the local companies that will compete, as well as to the District National Guard generaliy. On the first day, Saturday, May 11, begin- ning at 3 p.m., there will be a grand re- view of the military, the introduction of sponsors, dress parade and a military con- cert. The second day, Sunday, there is to be a guard mount, a sermon by Bishop Gailor and a sacred concert at night. Mon- day, the third day, in addition to guard mount, dress parade and a military con- cert, the competitive drills will commence and continue every day during the en- campment. At night there will be drilling by electric light. Tuesday, the fourth day, in addition to the other features, there will be presented exhibition drills by regular United States army troops, and a military parade at night, introducing a special pro- gram. The usual routine of military cere- monies, drills by noted companies in the different classes and concerts will occupy the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth days, and Tuesday, May 21, the elev- enth day, the closing exercises are’ to be held. There will be a sham battle to be participated in by all the’ troops, artillery, cavalry, and infantry, gatling or machine guns. This will be followed® by the an- nouncement of the decision of the judges, and the presentation of the prizes to the winning companies by Lieut. Gen. Scho- field ©f the United States army, who will review the troops. The Secretary of War will order two com- panies of United States infantry from At- Janta, Ga., and two companies of cavalry and a band from St. Louis, Mo., to attend the Memphis drill, all to be under the com- mand of Col. W. L. Kellogg, who ts at present in command at Atlanta, Ga. The drill ground proper at_ Montgomery Park, near Memphis, will be 250 by 325 feet in dimensions. Beneath the grand stand will be a mess hall, with accommodations for twelve hundred people, and in the park is to be a building fitted with all the mod- ppliances and conveniences for a hos- pital. It is amorg the Possibilities that the United States Marine Band will be in attendance at the drill. Prof. Fanciuili is now composing a march, to be dedicated to the Chickasaw Guards, the crack com- pany of Memphis, which hopes to wrest the Galveston cup from the Fencibles. Capt. Domer has addressed a lengthy communication to the Drill Association, re- questing that the rules governing the drill be so modified as to provide for the inspec- ticn of each company in the morning of the day such company drills, and not im- mediately preceding its drill, as now ar- ranged. The comnfanding officer of the Fencibles supported his request with rea- sons almost without number, and it is prob- able that the rules will be so modified. Lieut. W. W. Mortimer of the Fencibles today finally- decided that it will be impos- sible for him to go with the team to Meni- phis, and, to fill the vacancy, Sergt. Wil- lim Eugene Crist has been directed to act as first lieutenant on the trip. Sergt. Crist has accompanied the Fencibles to several interstate drills. Hé is considered an ideal soldier, and his comrades are of the opinion that in selecting him for the first lieuten- ancy Capt. Domer acted wisely. The Fencibles’ team has been fixed, and from this time on all that is necessary is to polish off any roughness that may exist, owing to raw material in the team. The Morton Cadets are rapidly moving to the front in the drill line, and will be heard from on the Memphis field. According to Capt. Shilling the finances of the team are all right, and no question exists as to the company taking the trip. According to the schedule for the annual inspection of the National Guard it is pro- vided that the Morton Cadets shall be in- spected Saturday evening, May 11, and the Fencibles, Monday evening, May 13. As the dates mentioned conflict with the Memphis drill, Gen. Ordway has consented to amend the schedule. —— ENJOYABLE PIANO RECITAL. A Brilliant Audience at the Washing- ton Woman’s Club. One of the most enjoyable piano recitals that has been held in this city for a long time was given in the parlors of the Wash- ington Woman’s Club on I street northwest last evening. The attendance was very large and included some of those most prominent in musical and fashionable cir- cles. The affair was under the auspices of Mrs. Fitzhugh Coyle, and its object was to introduce Mr. Angelo C. Fronani, a young pianist, who exhibits remarkable technical ‘| skill as well as true musicianly feeling in his work. His numbers were Chopin's Waltz, op. 42; Schawenka’s Polish Dance, Mendelssohn’s Scherzo and Rondo Capric- cioso. In each of these he displayed a facil- ity of execution and an intelligent interpre- tation that elicited from the audience the most emphatic applause. Mr. Fronani, however, modestly refrained from taking an encore until after the Scherzo, when it was so evident that more was demanded that he responded with the Paderewski Minuet, which he played with great deli- cacy and feeling. He was assisted by Messrs. Sol. Minster, violinist; Mr. Chas. Thierbach, jr., ‘cellist, and Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, soprano. Mr. Minster played two solos, the burlesque from Suite No. 1, by Franz Ries, and a mazourka, byWieniawski, and gave evidence of quite a mastery of the king of instruments. He and Mr. Fronani also played the allegro movement from Beethoven’s fifth Sonata in an excellent manner. There were two trios, the allegro and presto movements from Beethoven's opus 1, and in these the concerted work of Messrs. Fronani, Minster and Thierbach was highly commendable. Mrs. Noyes sang the cayatina, ‘‘Ernani Involani,” from Ver- di’s opera of “Ernani,” and Mascheront's ‘or All Eternity,”’ the latter being with violin obligato, by Mr. Minster. In both selections her voice was heard to splendid advantage, the brilliant music of Verdi contrasting finely with the tender and sen- timental melody of the song, and the ap- plause was long and pronounced. She only responded to the second number, however, and then sang Mattei’s‘‘For the Sake of the Past,” which she gave with excellent ef- fect. The entire program was thoroughly enjoyed, and the large audience retired with high appreciation of the merits of all the participants. —— READY FOR WORK. Twelve Young Women Fitted as Trained Nurses. Twelve young women received their diplomas last evening, testifying that they had successfully completed a> two-year course of study fitting them to serve in the capacity of trained nurses. It was the first class to graduate from the training school connected with Howard Universi-y. The commencement exercises were heid at the Church of Our Father, 13th and L streets, and attracted a large uudience. The women of the graduating class made a most attractive appearance, clad in the conventional garb of nurses. They included Miss Elizabeth G. Shippen of Ohio, Miss Annie E. Hanson, Miss Janey F. Freeman, Mrs. Mary F. Moore of Georgia, Miss Nan- nie A. Finch, white; Miss Lucy E. Morr white, of Utica, N. ¥.; Miss H. Eva Hood ard Miss Julia B. Grant. The officers of the class are: Elizabeth G. Shippen, presi- dent; Annie E. Hanson, vice president; Nannie A. Finch, secretary, and Janey F. Freeman, treasurer. The program opened with music and a prayer by Rey. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, as well as a trustee of the uni- versity. Prof. Richards of the trustee board spoke briefly of the imporance of having trained nurses and iheir usefulness in the community. President J. E. Rankin then awarded the diplomas to the ladies .of the class. On behalf of the faculty of the medical department Prof. John E. Brack- ett addressed the graduates, congratulating them on their completion of a two years’ course as the pioneer class of the univer- sity. He spoke of the opportunities hefore women, of their occupation as assistants to the physician, and cited instances of the noble work done by women of the war who ventured upon its battlefields. ——————— The great Breitbarth sale opens tomor- row at 515 7th street at 11 a.m. by Sloan & Co., auctioneers.—Advt, THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. seHE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY. rN aeral Assembly of the Presbyte- jurch of the United States will con- Venexfor a long and interesting session at the ‘Third Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, Pa., May 16. The General Assembly is com- Posed of several hundred ministers and an equal number of elders. There will be no trials for heresy by the body at this meeting, the cases of Rev. Dr. Henry Preserved Smith and Rev. Dr. Briggs, which occupied so large u share of attention from the members of the assem- bly for several years past having been got- ten out of the way, but the proceedings will not be lacking in interest to the Pres- byterian Church and the country at large. Among the leading questions ‘to be con- sidered, and one that is now receiving much attention from the thinkers of the de- nomination, is “The Relation of the Theo- logical Seminaries to the General Assem- bly.”. Many members maintain that the in- struction given in the theological semina- -ries should be under control and direction of the Presbyterian Church. There are -members who think the control of semi- nary instruction can be more carefully se- cured through the control of the presby- teries over the ministerial character and Standing of the professors who are mem- bers of such bodies, although it is urged against that view of it that all professors are not necessarily ministers. It will be urged also that property given for theological education should belong to the church, and it asks that this fact should be formally so stated in the charters of the seminaries, and that provision should be made for its enforcement, if ever necessary. The leading theological seminaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States are Princeton, at Princeton, N. J.; West- ern, Allegheny, Pa.; Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio; McCormick, Chicago; one at Omaha, Neb.; Auburn, at Auburn, N. Y., and.one at San Francisco, Cal. Besides these, there are a number of smuller institutions, in each of eS young men are prepared for the min- istry. Of the seminaries, Princeton has real estate valued at $400,000, an endowment fund of $800,000 and a scholarship fund of 900, with smaller sums for various pur- Poses; McCormick, real estate valued at $1,250,000; general endowment fund of $384,000; scholarship fund of $116,000, while a the others have been liberally provided for. Those who will represent the Washington Presbyt2ry at the General Assembly are: Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton of East- ern Presbyterian Church, Washington; Rev. B." F. Myers, Darnestown, Montgomery county, Md., commissioners; Rev. Dr. G. B. Patch. Gunton Temple, and Rev. J. T. Kelly, Fourth Church, Washington, alter- nates; elders—Messrs. Franklin Middleton, Fourth Church, and O. B. Brown, Assem- bly Church, principals, and Dr. G. W. N. Custis, Metropolitan, and Mr. B. J. Clay, New York Avenue Church, all of Washing- ton, alternates. — SA LVATION ARMY. Local Contingent Held Special Relig- ious Exercises Last Night. 7 The local contingent of the Salvation Army held a special religious service at Wesley Chapel last evening, in honor of the presence in town of Brig. Gen. Richard Evans of the cetnral division of the army. The church was filled with people who are more or less in sympathy with Salvation army methods, and the service, made up of music, prayers and addresses, was of a most earnest description. The soldiers of the army marched from their: barracks to the church, singing hymns to the accom- paniment of drums and tambourines as they passed through the streets. On the platform at the church were also seated Rev. C. W. Baldwin with Adjt. William Hunter, in charge of the Maryland, Vir- ginia and Delaware district; Adjt. Alex. Damon, Capt. Edward Taylor, known as the “golden minstrel; Capt. Nathan Cook of the Pennsylvania division, and Capt. Lautner and Lieut. Campbell, young wo- men of the local corps. The principal music of the evening was rendered by Capt. Taylor, who has a splen- did voice, and accompanied himself on a guitar. Adjt. Damon made an earnest ap- peal to all the congregation to seek salva- tion. After more prayers and hymns Gen. Evans made an address, in the course of which he stated that he was on one of his occasionai trips through his division, They would go to Richmond and Petersburg next. He gave some figures regarding the latest strength of the army. In Great Britain there were now 1,211 corps, and in the United States, 587. There had just been established corps in Iceland, Japan, Ha- wali, Spain, Java and Gibraltar, and these were doing well. Secretary W. R. Woodward called atten- tion to the Auxiliary League, which, he said, was composed of persons not able to become active members of the Salvation Army, yet who were willing to work for it. It cost only $5 a year, and many privileges were to be gained by subscribing this sum. The meeting ended with prayer by the pas- tor, Mr. Baldwin. -——>___ ALEXANDER ISLAND. Which Will Statas. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that the question of title to Alexander Island, Va., which had been reférred to him by the Attorney Gen- eral, had been referred to Assistant District Attorney Hugh T. Taggart. As quickly as pessible, Mr. Taggart will prepare for the Department of Justice the evidence on which will be based the bill which will, in all probability, be filed by the Attorney General in the United States Supreme Court, to establish the title of the Dis- trict to the island. Mr. Birney hopes to be able to furnish the Department of Justice with the necessary information early enough to permit the Attorney General to file the bill previous to the adjournment of the Supreme Court next month. As heretofore explained in The.Star, the contention of the government will be that Alexander Island is really an island, and therefore included in the grant to .Lord Baltimore in 1632, which, it is said, included in the Maryland territory all islands situ- ated in the Potomac river. ——— Jno.

The photograph room ‘@f the patent office, in which the disastrcusrexplosion of ether occurred yesterday afternoon}. presented a sorry picture this morning, with‘its crushed and broken furniture and apparatus, torn- up floor tiling and discolored walls. The evidences of the immensexforce expended by the burning vapor make it remarkable that any of the perscns present at the time of the accident should have escaped with their lives. A force of workmen and clerks are engaged today removing the debris from the apartment and= assorting the charred and burned records which were shelved in the halls contiguous to the pho- togreph room. These papers are copies of patents, accompanied by the drawings of the inventions, and many of them are, to- tally ruined. They are of extreme import- ance in the work of the office. When a per- son applies for a patent, and the examiner finds that the proffered invention infringes on that of some one else, the applicant is informed of such transgression and fur- nished with the number of the patent which is infringed. The applicant there- upon sends to the office to secure a copy of the: original patent, accompanying his re- au it_ with 15 cents. The papers burned -charred by yesterday's explosion were these copies, and their reproduction will be considerably expensive. A thousand dol- lars, it is thought, will amply cover the damage.done in the photograph room, but it will take several times that amount to replace the ruined -ecords. Several of the employes who were slightly scorched and sh@tked by the explosion were at work today, assisting in the work of re- habilitation. At the Emergency Hospital Mr. Albert Flint, who was the most pain- fully injured of the occupants of the room, was reported to be doing nicely, and no se- rious results were apprehended in his case. eas Quality on Top—Prices on the Bottom!
