One of the most successful entertainments yet given by the Comus Club, as well as the final one of the present season, de- lighted an appreciative and fashionable audience last night, which filled Scottish Rite Hall. The club is composed of well- known ladies and gentlemen, prominent in musical circles, and last evening’s program included a piano duet by Mrs. Hazard and Mr. Fowler; cavatina, Miss Bertha Gibson; recitation, Dr. Jones; song, Mrs. Browning; comic selection, Mr. Conley; duet, Dr. Daly and Mr. Randolph; aria, Mrs. Clarence B. Rhee eading, John Tweedale; song, Miss Spalding; cavatina, Miss Mattingly. solo Mrs. Thompson-Berry; piano duet, Mrs. Hazard and Miss Kaiser. Following this program, a comic operetta, adapted for the occasion, entitled ‘‘Penel- ope.” was well rendered, end was received with great appreciation. Those, taking part were Mess: Conley, Hine, Fowler and Leach and Mrs. Browning and Miss Bertha Gibson. —— He Begged. John Brown, a colored man, who lost his eyesight a number of years ago, and who has been seated on Pennsylvania avenue, where he sings and begs, was in the Police Court today, charged with vagrancy. Policeman Mellen arrested the man near the National Theater, and Judge Kimball held him guilty. In doing so, the judge said that these people cannot sit about the side- walks in this way and beg. A sentence of thirty days, in default of bonds, was imposed. —— Enforcing a Judgment. George W. Emmons has filed a Dill in equity against the Lawton Brick and Tile Company to enforce the payment of two Judgment creditors’ bills aggregating $100. The bill states that the only property on which the judgments can be enforced, to the best of the complainant's knowledge, is a patent for the manufacture of bricks and tiles issued April 5, 1892, to Charles F. Lawton. Judge Cox gra. a _tempo- rary order restraining the reassignment of the patent, which Mr. Lawton {gs said to have assigned to the company. >_—— Royal Arch Degree Conferred. A large number of prominent members of the Masonic bodies were present last even- ing at the session of Washington Chapter, No. 2, assisting in the conferring of the Foyal arch degree. The degree was con- ferred by Excellent Grand King, De Moll, assisted by Robert Ball, as king; David G. Dixon, as scribe; John S. Garrison, as captain of the host; R. A. Dellett, as prin- cipal sojourner; John D. Hinternesch, as royal arch captain, and Emile Huch, Eu- gene Bernhard and William Creamer, as masters of the three vails. A banquet was held after the ceremonies, at which were present about 100 companions of the difter- ent chapters. Excellent High Priest Harry Standiford acted as toastmaster. The Speakers to the toasts were F, L. Camp- bell, Alexander McKenzie and Past Grand Master James A. Sample. oe Charges Denied. Answering the caveat filed by Rachael Mason against the will of the late Francis Mason, Chas. B. Purvis, the executor of the estate, denied that the will was executed under compulsion or by misrepresentation of Amelia Burnett or by any other. ——.__ $1.25 to Baltimore and return on all B. ind O.

The members of the Southern Assembly gave another of their delightful dances at Burgundy, the home of Mr. Walsh, near this city, last night. Dancing was kept up until a late hour, and it was with a sigh of the deepest regret that the strains of the old familiar “Home, Sweet Home” were wafted on the morning ais. The scene was a merry one, and the young ladies looked particularly well, while the gallant lads danced attendance in a most befitting man- ner. Among those present were noticed Misses Mamie Donnelley,Maggie and Lizzie Ryan of Washington, Miss Maud Roche and Nannie Nevitt from Alexandria, Misses Teresa Walsh, Leo Walsh, Brown, Crupper and Messrs. Reynolds of Washington, and Charles H. Appich, Willie Young, Brooke Young, Tom Rowe, Wade Brown, Tom Brown, James Carlin, William Carlin, Dan and Thomas Walsh, Ryland Joyce. The next dance of the club will be given on the 20th instant. Seriously Hurt. Edward Clark, the catcher for the Old Dominion Base Ball Club, while playing in @ game yesterday afternoon was struck in the groin with the ball and knocked sense- less. He was taken to the office of Dr. Herndon, where he received medical at- tention. His condition today is considered serious. Ascension Day Service. Old Dominion Commandery, Knights Templar, have been invited by St. Paul's Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew to attend a special service in St. Paul's Church on Ascension day, May 23,at 8 p.m. Cotumbin Meeting. The Columbia Steam Fire Engine Com- pany held a special meeting in the engine house last night for the purpose of con- sidering several invitations to participate in celebrations. They decided not to ac- cept the invitation of R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, to take part in the Memorial day services. They also decided that it would be impracticable for them to go to Frostburg, Md., to take part in the water-throwing contests to be held there in June. An Exorbitant Rate. The reporter for The Star has his atten- tion called daily to the exorbitant rate charged by the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Com- pany between this city and Mount Vernon. Excursionists who desire to visit Mount Vernon are told by the guide books that the rate is 10 cents each way from Alexan- dria, but when thty once get on fhe elec- tric ‘cars and get started they are charged the enormous sum of 60 cents for the round trip, and in every instance there is a vigor- ous “kick.” combination with the steamboat company. First Negro Fireman. What was anticipated by the railroad men in this city when colored men were put to work in the place of whites in the round house here became a reality yester- day, when the first colored fireman left here on a freight train over the Southern railway. The men are indignant, and it is feared that trouble will be the outcome. Chief Engineer O’Brien of the local Broth- erhood of Locomotive Engineers,when seen by The Star reporter, declined to discuss the situation and said: “I am not in a posi- tion to say anything as yet.” , Police Court. ‘Things were very quiet in the police court this morning and Mayor Strauss took but a few moments to dispose of the cases. Augustus Buckner, Robert Citt, Henry Buckner and Henry Stone, four tramps who were arrested for trespassing on the property of the Southern Railway Com- any and attempting to steal rides on their Rains, were marched out of the city, Chas. Watkins, charged with disorderly conduct, had his case continued until tomorrow morning. City Engineer’s Examination. The examination of candidates for the office of city engineer began at noon today in the chambers of the board of aldermen. There were two candidates, Wm. B. Corse of the geological survey and E. C. Dunn, for- merly engineer maintenance of way of the Richmond and Danville railroad, and now acting city surveyor. Messrs.Fred Thompson and Thomas Bernard of the Southern rail- way engineering department and Captain McCoones of the District of Columbia en- giteering department constitute the board of examirers. The candidates who pass the examination are eligible for election by the city council. HI Notes. Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Berkeley have gone to Fairfax Court House for a few weeks’ stay. Miss Carrie Wise has returned from a visit to friends in South Carolina, Mrs. C. W. Ashley is at Atlantic City. Officer Sherwood shot a dog supposed to ley mad, on the old fair grounds this morn- rg.

Church difficulty last night developed a new phase, and at the request of the board of trustees, Rev. Dr. Ovelton, late pastor, who, as has been already mentioned in The Star, the congre- gation have asked Bishop Gaines to re- store to them, left for Atlantic City at 11:30 p.m., In order to see the bishop this morn- ing and urge him to render his decision on the point at issue at once, so that the tur- moil at present existing, in reference to the affairs of the church, may be smoothed away without further trouble. Should Bishop Gaines comply with the reguest for an immediate decision, his action may have an important bearing on the case when the mandamus that the church doors shall be ned to him, asked for by Rev. Mr. wens, pastor elect, shall come up before Judge Cole tomorrow. A conference took place last night in the basement of the Hillsdale Church between Rev. Mr. Gowens and the boards of stew- ards and trustees of the church—a large majority of both boards being present. Mr. Gowens had called the meeting to be held at the house of the sexton of the church, Mr. Benjamin Butler, But acting upon the advice of some of the leaders in the church the meeting took place at the church. The proceedings were conducted in secret, but an interested crowd of persons, anxious to gain the earliest information of what Had taken-place inside, waited around the build- ing until the adjournment. The conference continued for several hours, but at the conclusion of the delibera- tions the trouble in the ‘congregation, which had been the subject of discussion, was no nearer settlement than when the meeting began. Mr. Gowens presided at the con- ference. There was no secretary. r. Gowens asked those present if they intend. ed to open the doors of the church on Sun- day to him and to keep them open for his use as pastor hereafter. To this the reply was a question by Mr. Henry Dorsey, which was indorsed by all present, have you credentials to show that you are the legal pastor of the Hillsdale A. M. E. Chureh? Mx. Gowens replied that he had, but that he would not gratify them by show- ing them to those who asked for them, as they had not done so Sunday last when he appeared at the church and had in- tended to hold service inside the building. This point was discussed at great length, but neither side would yield, and Mr. Gowens finally announced that the matter would have to be fought out in the courts. With the singing of the old familiar Metho- dist hymn, “Together Let us Sweetly Live; Together Let us Die,” the meeting was dissolved, and the scene of battle again transferred to the courts. After the adjournment of the conference Mr. Gowens said to a Star representative that he had called the conference for the purpose of trying to harmonize the trou- bles existing in the church. He could not, he said, bring himself to believe that the congregation were, with one exception, united against him. As agent of the Bal- timore conference of the A. M. E. Church he had asked the intervention of Judge Cole in the matter. It was his duty as the agent of the conference to look after the interests of the conference and the charge to which he had been assigned, and if he could not perform his duty in that respect he would be compelled and ought to give way to another minister. Asked if he would be willing to go to Fruitland, to which charge Dr. Ovelton was assigned, Mr. Gowens replied that he would not; that to do so would be retro- grading in the ministry on his part, and he certainly was not p®epared to admit that he was not a more effective preacher than he was a year or two ago, when he was younger, and if he should go to Fruit- land such act would be looked upon by his friends as a step backward. The action of Bishop-Gaines in leaving Washington at 7:30 a.m.. yesterday, as stated in The Star of yesterday, after hav- ing impliedly arranged with several per- sons to meet them at the department of finance at a later hour, was severely crit- icised in Hillsdale last night, and much disappointment at the course the bishop saw proper to pursue was expressed. It has become known since the outbreak in the Hillsdale church that there are no less than three other churches in the co1 ference the doors of which have been lock- ed against the ministers assigned to them by Bishop Gaines. These churches are Frederick, Md., to which Rev. W. R. Ar- nold was sent; Northwest Baltimore, Rev. John F. Wagner, and Church Hill, Dor- chester county, Md., Rev. W. H. Wooten. ————_—_ AMUSEMENTS. Academy of Mustc.—“‘The Flying Dutch- man” was sung by the Hinrichs Opera Com- pany Wednesday night at the Academy. The part of Senta brought Mme. Koert-Kronold before the audience in a most acceptable manner. She sang with a freshness and vigor that could not but command admtra- tion. Mr. Ganor did the best piece of work that he has given this season in the part of the Dutchman, and Michelena was accept- able as Erik. The subject, of the opera demands scenic equipment of the most elaborate kind, and in this regard the pro- duction last night was a triumph of mind over matter. Material difficulties were overcome with an ingenuity which forcibly illustrated the manner in which experience and skill invariably succeed in surviving physical difficulties. Nothing was lacking that was essential to a scentc setting for the rather childish tale so skillfully developed to form a plot. While “The Flying Dutch- man” is rich in what the educated musi- cian accepts as melody, it has little that seizes the popular sense of tune. The soul of the mouth-organ musician goes forth from it unsatisfied. The performance of an opera of this kind without extensive stage equipments is hardly commendable, because the average audience will not ap- preciate what is artistically excellent, and is therefore limited in its impressions to mechanical deficiencies which may present themselves. In forsaking the more severely classical stelds for operas like “Trovatore” and “The Barber of Seville,” the manage ment shows wisdom. The principals have in the majority of instances brilliantly dem- onstrated their ability to sing difficult music, and there is no reason why the operas in which the element of scholarship so strongly dominates that of popularity should continue so conspicuously in the repertoire. Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor's Lecture.—Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor of Tennessee met a large au- dience last evering at Metzerott’s and de- livered for the firet time in Washington his new lecture on ‘‘Visions and Dreams.” Tom Rye of the pension office introduced him in a felicitous speech, giving a rapid story of Gov. Taylor's public life and tell- ing how great his popularity was at home. The lecture abounded in anecdotes, illus- trating the humor of mountain and negro character, and was rich in sentiment and pathos. Gov. Taylor is an entertaining speaker, with a voice that is equally musi- cal in speech or song. He introduced a number of songs during the evening, which were greatly enjoyed. On the stage with their statesman sat Congressman Benton McMillin, Judge Lambeth, Tim Murphy, the comedian; Tom Rye and Mr. Richardson. “Tom Sawyer” at the Bijou.—Little Irene Franklin, the child contralto singer and mimic, has won favor at the Bijou Theater, where she is an extra attraction in Mark Twain's “Tom Sawyer,” as is also Master Dunn, the boy banjoist. Tomorrow's mat- inee is intended for the children of the public schools, and for which a special ticket has been issued. It is expected that the House will be crowded. Miss Ellen Vockey.—Next week, at But- ler’s Bijou, Miss Ellen Vockey and her dramatic company will.be the attraction, appearing in “Leonora,” “Snowball,” “The Widow's Victim,” and “Woman's Lover.” Miss Vockey is a Washington girl, and has won much reputation as an emotional ac- tress, and she should be liberally patron- ized during her engagement here. She has in her company the following people from this city: Lawrence Manning, Bethram Temple and Richard Buhler. The company has played in other cities and comes highly commended. Miss Stevens’ May Ball.—The annual May ball of Miss Clara Stevens’ dancing acad- emy was given at National Rifles’ Armory Wednesday evening, the hall being crowded by the friends and admirers of those who took part in the event. For over three hours the little ones danced, when the older ones were allowed to participate in the enjoy- ment, Miss Stevens was presented with a handsome diamond ring by her admirers, Miss May Howard with a medal for selling the largest amount of tickets and Miss Dimple Shackelford, who is a member of the Burnt Cork Club, was remembered by the remainder of the club with a beautiful gold medal. Those who participated in the special features of the ball were Misses Blanche West, Mamie Dugan, Mazie Shackelford, Bertha Whalley, Margueritte Weller, Gladys McKenner, Annie Hobbs, Edna Saunders, Mabel Shelton, Daisy Dig- gins, Susie Bontz, Marie McGuire and Mas- ter Vernon Seitz. Others who participated,| were Miss Ruth Hoskinson, Miss Daphne aEomD So Miss Regena §ullivan, Miss =e King, Mies Annie. Hobbs, Miss Ger- ‘rude Newman, - Miss Louretta- Sullivan, easter Mortimer Fraser, Master ‘illie itchett,. Maggie Divvers, Master George Hunt. A Master Willie Forsythe, Miss Irene Keese, Miss Katie Geddes, Miss Louise Atlee. Mr. W. C. Hinton was mas- ter of ceremonies, and the reception com- mittee was composed of Col. Geddes, Mr. C. T. Hodgkins, Mr. J. T. Howard, Mr. Burke, Mr. R. D. Suter and Mr. W. L. Cullen. The Strollers.—This afternoon “The Strol- lers,” @ dramatic organization of New York amateurs, gave a performance at the Grand Opera House for the benefit of the Emergency Hospital. This company is not, unknown here, for it has given per- formances in this city before and with de- cided success. The club was originally formed of students in Columbia College, who, pleased with their success, continued the association, and some highly commend- able performances have “been given, nearly all of which have been in behalf of char- ity. The play given this afternoon is “The Mother-in-Law,” which has never been seen in this city but during an engagement at what was then Ford’s Opera House, in 1881. 8 situations, and afforded the members of the cast an opportunity to do some excellent work. A charming comedietta, entitled “Raspberry Shrub Sec,” preceded the play. Next Monday night the club will repeat the comedietta and will give the comedy of “The Belle’s Stratagem” at National Rifles’ Ar- mory, also for the Emergency Hospital's benefit. ——— THE COURTS, Court of Appezls—Chief Justice Alvey and Associate Justices Morris and Shepard.
