Not as Serious as at First Thought— Other Notes of General Interest From Across the Creek. At about 3 o'clock yesterday Foreman J. B. Gordon, Norris, alias “Poodley” Pasco, a boy, and Wm. Weeks, colored, a laborer, were injured at the big union depot site near the Aqueduct bridge, through the working of lime that was being used to swell the rocks and burst them in lieu of explosives, against the use of which an in- junction has been taken out by neighboring property holders, chief among them being Mrs. Morris, widow of Commodore Geo. U. Morris, U. 8. N. The eyes of all three were injured. Weeks is probably the greatest sufferer and may suffer the most serious consequences. Mr. Gordon’s condi- tion is much more encouraging than it was supposed to be yesterday. There is no fear of the loss of his sight. Foreman Gordon talked to The Star re porter this morning in his bedroom, at 142 Bed street. His eyes were bandaged tightly, but he was suffering but little pain. “When we were forced to give up the use of powder for blasting purposes,” said the foreman, “I began to look about for a non- explosive substitute and found that fre- quentiy lime had been used to swell and burst rocks, when put in crevices or bored holes. Yesterday when the accident oc- curred I, with Weeks and Pasco, was en- gaged in this work. We had put about a quart of unslaked lime in a crevice and were pouring water on. Gas and steam were generated in an instant, and before we could move back a quantity of the lime flew up into our eyes. We used the ary unslaked stuff. One lump, still hard, struck me in the forehead, between the eyes, and made an ugly cut. Had an ordinary explosion of powder taken place while I was in that position my whole head would have been blown off. “While suffering sharp pain through the presence of the lime in my eyes 1 groped to where some water was and washed as well as possible. Then I was driven home in Contractor Carver's buggy.” Mr. Gordon has lost almost ali his brows and lashes. Weeks is at the Emergency Hospital, where his condition is said to be the most painful of all the victims. The boy, Pasco, is not in much danger. Foreman Gordon is being attended by Dr. Connell. Boy Missing. Howard Faulkner of 3218 O street has been missing from his home since last Fri- day. No clew to his whereabouts can be obtained. Some believe that he has gone off, filled with Indian stories, etc.; others that his mind is disarranged through cig- arette smoking and a recent serious illness. Howard is sixteen years of age. About a mcnth ago he was stricken down with con- gestion of the brain, but apparently re- covered. His mother does not believe he was addicted seriously to the cigarette habit, nor does she think love has had any- thing to do with his disappearance. He has been very fond of a certain girl, but tlie mother, on calling upon her, learned she knew nothing about the missing boy. It is certain that the absent one has no money with him. There was money in the house which he could have taken had he been so disposed. Neither did he take away any clothes other than what he had on. The mother does not think that her son has gone far, and her only fear seems to be that he has met with some serious accident or has been foully dealt with. Howard was employed at the Excelsior Dairy. The boy has frequently expressed a de- sire to go to California, where he has an uncle, James Stevenson. He also has a brother in Omaha.

Lutheran Woman's Home and Foreign Mixsionary Society. The closing session of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the eastern conference of the Maryland synod of the Lutheran Church was held last evening in the Luther Place Memorial Church, Rev. J. G. Butler, D.D., the pastor, presiding. As stated in yesterday’s Star, Mrs, A. V. Hamma, the treasurer of the general society, was to have made an ad- dress on the subject of home missions, but was prevented on account of the condition of her health, In lieu thereof, the Rev. M. ,. Hamma, D.D., made a ‘stirring and address on the subject and also d out to the society several excellent fields for future work. Limited to fifteen minutes, he could but outline the work and advantages to be derived from the early occupation of the fields suggested. ‘The next speaker was Mr. Prabala Rama- chandrayya of Guntur,lidia,who, as hereto- fore staicd, has been cunverted from Brak- manism and for thirteen years been con- nected with the mission at Guntur and for six years employed in the high school and college connected with the mission, gave a very interesting talk on the work in his country and the growing needs for a more extended work, fie dwelt at some length on the social condition existing among the women, and told, also, of their many good qualities, as well as those that were bad. His suggestions for the remedy of existing evils were well received and in a measure have already been acted upon, or, at least, a commencement has been made as regards the quatifications of the future mission- aries. ‘The last speaker was the Rev. A. Pohl- man of Baltimore, Md., missionary-elect to Africa, and who will go to that country in the course of a year and commence his labors. He fs now in his last year in the study of a course in medicine. He is well known to the Washington churches, and his remarks wer® received with much fa- vor. On behalf of the society, he extended thanks to the pastor of the Memorial Church and his people for the entertain- ment of the delegates. The benediction was pronounced by the Rev. M. W. Hamma, D.D., and the fifth an- nual convention was at an end. SS Fire Injures Four Frame Houses. This morning about 4 o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 426 for fire in Nolan's court southwest, where four frame hou: were damaged to the extent of about $00. ee Ordered for a Medical Examination. Chief Engineer Bates of the Bennington, now at Mare Island navy yard, has been ordered before a medical board for ex- amination as to his physical soundness. THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Gossips Having No Facts, Delight -in Bumor. Rumor Has It That Mrs, Sartoris Wil, Marry Again—Persoral Mention. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris and Miss Rose Mary Sartoris returned on Monday from Chicago, where they attended the Grant birthday celebration exercises. Their visit was in every way a most agreeable one, both to the ladies and their hosts, the Press Club of that city. The presence of Mrs. Sartoris among so many distinguished folks who had not seen her before has led to the revival of the gossip that she is shcrtly to be married again. The rumor is on the same lines as this time last year, and as the fortunate suitor Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas of Maryland is mentioned again. It will be remembered when the subject was broached to that gentleman at its first announcement last spring he gal- lantly refused to discuss it at any length, but gave no hint that a marriage was like- ly to occur. On the part of Mrs. Sartoris, she has said frequently to her intimate friends that she had no intention of marry- ing. The present rumor in its revived state goes a little further than the old one, and indicates that the wedding is to take place here very soon, that few guests outside of the family will be asked to witness it, and that the couple willego to Europe for the summer. Whether or not this charmingly interesting lady intends to marry or not is probably a subject in whieh the world at large has no rights at all to be taken in confidence at this juncture, but it may be said on the authority of ‘her statements that Mrs. Sartoris has no intention of g2- ing abroad the coming summer. Her plans are as yet quite indefinite, but she expects to spend the warm term at some extreme northern point, probably Canada. A lady who has opportunities of seeing the many admirers who have been attentive to Mrs. Sartoris since she came to Washington says that there are other gentlemen resident in this city who might think they had a right to be mentioned in this connection. It is understood that Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris will leave this city very shortly. Miss Sartoris is coming from England to spend the summer with her mother. A Chicago special to the New York Herald, in announcing the engage- ment, says that “Gen. Douglas, who was a member of a Maryland confederate regi- ment, is the adjutant general of the state of Maryland, a handsome man of fifty, and belongs to an excellent old southern family. He owns a fine old country place in Mary- land, and spends most of his time in Wash- ington, where he belongs to several of the leading clubs, and is well and popularly known. He is not rich, but has a comfort- able fortune.” Miss Blanche Moses of Baltimore is the guest of Miss Rosa Herman, 224 41% street southwest, and will be at home Sunday evening. Admiral and Mrs. Upshur have returned to Washington. The engagement of Miss Jane Bridgham Curtis to Mr. Robert Coleman Child has been formally announced.
