The new church is much more commodious than that from which the congregation will remove, and when en- tirely iinished will be the handsomest Cath- olic church in this city. A week from next Sunday the opening services, it is ex- pected, will be held in the new edifice, al- though the structure will not be entirely completed for some years yet. —___ Sick Line Obstructions. To the Eilitor of The Evening Star: The letter in last night's issue on ‘“In- conspicuous Sick Lines” is both timely and sensible. If our streets were paved with cobblestones and heavy trucks passed noisily through them there might be some excuse for stretching them, but paved as they are, with such traffic as there is through them, there is not only no neces- sity for them, but they are a source of danger. I carry on my face now scars inflicted by one of these obstructions, placed so near the corner that I was entangled in {t, bruised and thrown by it before I was aware of its presence. The nuisance ought to be abated in streets that are paved with asphalt, at least, for it is productive of more harm than good. T. Vv. W. —— = A New Knights of Pythias Lodge.

THE FENCIBLES DROPPED 10 SIXTH Capt. Domer’s Unfortunate Error Killed Their Chances. SUCCESS OF THE BIG CAMP Special From a Staff Correspondent. CAMP SCHOFIELD, Memphis,Tenn.,May 22.—The announcement of the judges of the interstate drill has been made, and as a result the National Fencibles, the cham- pion military company of the United States since 1892, has forfeited that title, and also the Galveston cup to the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb. The competition demonstrat- ed that the Morton Cadets, the youngest organization of the District National Guards, is one of the crack companies of the country, Capt. Shilling’s command hav- ing carried off one first and two second prizes, amounting to $2,250, in this, its Initial Interstate drill, over such famous dri teams as the National Fencibles, Sealy Rifles, McCarthy Light Guards, Chickasaw Guards and Governor's Guards. Yesterday was a memorable day at Camp Schofield. At noon there were fully 16,000 persons on the grounds, a larger attend- ance by far than on any day since the be- ginning of the encampment. ‘The opening attraction was an individual competitive drill for a cash prize of $75. The Mortons were well represented among the forty-two entries, but there was not a Fencible in line. A member of the Thurston Rifles proved the victor, while Private Houchen of the Mortons stood third. Shortly after the conclusion of the indi- vidual competition all the troops of the en- campment were ordered out for participa- tion in the sham battle. The presence of troops of United States cavalry and com- panies of infantry, commanded by army officers, added realism to the fight, which had been carefully planned and which proved unusually entertaining to the spec- tators. The soldiers barely had time to brush the dust from their uniforms before adjutant's-call sounded and then decidedly the most important and anxiously awaited event of the week was in order, the an- nouncement of the judges. Announcing the Prizes. The contestants were formed in line with the Mortons on the right and the Fencibles on the extreme left, and thousands of per- sons flocked around the judges’ stand, where stood Gen. Snowden, Col. Peters and Capt. Steele, the chairman of the board of iudges. It seemed an age before “parade rest” was given. Next every soldier in line saw Col. Peters give a whispered direction to Adjutant Parkham. The latter immediately moved forward and instead of looking straight to the front every Fencible anxiously fol- lowed with their eyes the course of the adjutant. He made a bee line for the Thurston Rifles, however, and Washington hopes took a painful drop. The Thurston’s were marched to the front, presented with a check for $3,000, the Galveston cup and a blue streamer and then took their place in line. Amid vociferous cheers the Morton Cadets were called to the front to receive second prize in class A, $1,250, and a red streamer, tke ribben being fastened to Capt. Shilling’s blouse by the sponsor of the company, Miss Peters, who approvingly patted the cheeks of “her captain,” much to the amusement of the audience and the embarrassment of the officer. The Sealy Rifles of Galveston were awarded third prize of $500, after which Capt. Wing of the McCarthy Light Guards, Capt. Patterson of the Governor’s Guards, Capt. Domer of the Fencibles and Capt. Kyle of the Chickasaw Guards were sum- moned to the stand and informed that their companies were voted fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, respeetively. The Fencibles’ Consolation. Capt. Domer smiled pleasantly, as though he had again won the cup, and took occa- sion to remark to Capt. Kyle that the Fencibles would take consolation in the fact that they had taken a higher place than the Chickasaw Guards. “Call the Morton Cadets to receive first prize of $1,000) in class B,” said Col. Peters to his adjutant. ‘The Iowa State Band struck up the High School Cadets March, and a mighty cheer arose as the young company for the second time moved to the front, Capt. Shilling taking charge of the check and a red stream ‘The Thurston Rifles took second prize, $500, in class B, while the Gov- ernor’s Guards stood third. First prize, $1,000, in C, the maiden drill, was won by the Thurston Rifles, the Mo tons standing second, but receiving no money, as therg was no second prize. The zouave drill was won by the Neelys of Memphis, and the artillery drill by the Omaha Guards. The Official Markings. The official markings were as follows: Class A—Thurston Rifles, inspection, 98; manual, 98.89; firings and company move- rents, 96.29; average, 96.86. Morton Cadets, 98.44 inspection, 94; manual, firings and company movements, ; average, 96.66. inspection, 96.50; firings and company m anual, ments, average, W.54. McCarthy Light Guard, inspection, 96.33; manual, $ firings and company move- ments, 95. average, 6. Governor's Guards, inspection, 9% ; man- and company movements, 61. les, inspection, 98.66; man- and company ‘mov. ments, + average Chickasaw Guards, in: jon, 97.66; man- .28; firings and company ‘movements, s average, 88.41. The closeness of the markings is con- sidered remarkable, the Thurstons winning the championship over the Mortons _ by only two-tenths of 1 per cent. The Fen- cibles put up the best inspection and the Mortons next to the poorest. The latter company surpassed all competitors in class A in firings and company movements. ‘The markings in B were: Morton Cadets, inspection, 94.38; manual, { firings and company movements, 95.47; average, 95.4 Thurston Rifles, inspection, 97.60; man- ual, ments, { firings and j average, 94. rds, inspection, 95 firings ‘and company C was: Thi manual, 94. vements, 03. company move- 1 ments, 83.45; average, 56.64. ual, The’ score in ¢ Rifles, inspection, 4 ings and company mi n Cadets, Inspection, $8.80; manual, firings and company movements, average, 92.48. In each cf the three classes inspection counted 20 per cent, the manual 10 per cent and the firings and company move- ments 70 per cen 8 In addition to prizes in classes A, B and C, the Thurston Rifles won the prize for best-disciplined company, and also the in- dividual drill prize, carrying off in all $4,- S875. It was a matter of business with the Thurstons, for the members admit that they pay Capt. Scharff @ salary and guar- anteed him 50 per cent of all prfes won. Capt. Scharff has had considerable experi- ence in competitive drilling. He was in command of the Omaha Guards when that company took first prize over the Fencibles in the maiden drill at Kansas City in 1890. When it was found that the Fencibles and Chickasaw Guards stood at the foot of the ladder their sponsors wept in full view of every one. The ex-champions, while re- gretting the loss of the championship, are not at all downhearted, as they know that the low standing of the company is due to 2 unfortunate accident and not to poor ling. Washingtonians Leave Camp. When the par: was dismissed the Fen- bles immediately departed from the camp and spent the night in their special eleeper. The Mortons marched to their company street and received visits from cheering delegations of other companies. Later they attended a farewell reception at the re: dence of the chaperone, Mrs. R. H. Allen, and then boarded their car: The Mortons take their success calmly and are generally satisfied, but several of dr the boys cannot be convinced that the company was not entitled to first place in the maiden drill also. Capt. Domer’s Error. After the anrouncement, Capt. Steele, chairman of the board of judges, stated to me that when the Fencibles marched on the field Fridey it was apparent that they were the champions. Overconfidence and fatal carelessness was displayed in their work, according to Capt. Steele. Capt. Domer did not turn-two leaves of his pro- gram at the same time, as was thought to be the case, explained the chairman of the judges, but after executing three numbers on one page, in some unaccountable man- ner he turned the page and began at move- ment number four on the following page. “The Morton Cadets are a superb com- pany.” Capt Steele went on to say, “and had it not been for their inspection and an error in the firings the boys would easily have won the cup and first place in class Cc. Capt. Shilling is a remarkably fine young officer, and I predict a great future for him and his company.” Neither the Fencibles nor the Mortons will attend the drill in St. Louis in July. In order that the Washington people may see that they won the prizes the Mortons will probably give an exhibition drill in front of the Arlington Hotel Saturday af- ternoon next. The encampment was all that could be desired, and the hospitality of the Mem- phis people could not have been surpassed. The train bearing the Mortons and Fe: cibles Jeft Memphis at 5:20 o'clock this morning, and is due at the Gth street sta- tion, ~Washington, tomorrow evening at 8:30. CFC. HEARD WITH GREAT JOY. Reception of the ‘% of the Mor- tons’ Success. The news of the good fortune of the Mor- ton Cadets was received with great jubila- tion by fully 500 members of the National Guard last night, assembled at the L Street Armory. The bad luck of the Fencibles caused general regret, of course, but the sympathies of the crowd seemed to be with the younger ‘organization, which showed such pluck in making the trip to Memphis. “The arrdngements forthe reception of the home-coming compaities are about com- pleted. Both teams will arrive at the 6th Street depot tomorrow evening, where they will be met by an escort of the National Guard. The escort will consist of the follo Ey companies: Company B, third battalioa, Capt. Mattingiy; company C, third battal- ion, Capt. Sayer; company D, third battal- ion, First Lieut, Birchard; company A, sec- ond battalion, Capt. Edwards; company D, fifth battalion, Capt. England; company D, fourth battalion, Capt. Williams; compaay B, fourth battalion, Capt. Walsh; company B, sixth battalion, Capt. ‘Tomlinson; the Fencibles’ drill team, the Mortons’ drill team, the Fencibles’ stay-at-homes, the Mortons’ stay-at-homes, and the members of the citiz-ns’ committee. Among the other organizations that have been invited to participate are the Wash- ington Light Infantry, the National Rifles and the Old Guard. Col. Moore will be ten- dered the command of the escort, and Maj. Wilson will command the third battalion. It is thought that the President’s troop and the light battery will also participate. Music will be furnished by the Sixth Cav- alry Band, the Henderson Drum Corps and the Lemon Rifies’ Drum Corps. There will be a meeting of the lady friends of the Fencibles at the armory this after- noon to make preparations for the home- coming of their favorites. This morning Capts. Oyster of the Na- tional Rifles and Edgar of the Old Guard decided to turn out their commands to- morrow night as a part of the escort to the returning companies. The men will as- semble at their respective armoric 7 at 7 e’clock. They will be accompanied by the Mount Pleasant Drum and Bugle Corps, who are to meet at the Rifles’ armory, on G street near 9th, at 7 o'clock. This notice should be observed by all members of the drum corps. The boys will escort the Riftes first to the Old Guard armory, and the two commands will march to the sta‘ THE POTATO LOTS. Thirteen Assigned and the Work Un- der Headway. The joint committee on charitable rellef through work met yesterday afternoon in their rooms at 702 9th street northwest. There were present F. L. Moore, L. S. Em- ery, Dr. Peck, A. S. Caywood, J. B. Wight, Job Barnard, W. R. Gurley and Mr. Don- relly. The report of work done showed that thirteen allotments had been made of land to be worked under the auspices of the committee, and thirty-nine applications for land had been received. Mr. Donnelly,who served as clerk to the central relief com- mittee during the distribution of supplies last winter, has been engaged by the com- mittee as its clerk. Mr. Van Arsdale has been engaged to supervise the work done by the beneficiaries of the potato plan, his compensation being 50 cents for each visi- tation to each lot. William Brown has been employed to plow and harrow the lots at $6 per acre. His job is by no means a sinecure, as the lots are sometimes widely separated and the plowing is difficult with shcrt turnrs.. The committee has bought twenty bushels of seed potatoes at 70 cents a bushel and two bushels of beans at $2.25 a bushel. A few tools have been bought. Mr. Smail has undertaken to raise cabbage plants for distribution when the proper time comes to set them. At the suggestion of Mr. Emery pegs will be driven down to mark the boundaries of lots under con- trol of the committee. As Mr. Moore, chairman of the committee, goes to New Haven tomorrow to attend the conference of charities and reforms there, Dr. Peck was designated to act as vice chairman dvring his absence. A requisition for $250 on the treasurer of the central relief com- mittee was authorized. On motion of Dr. Peck, a vote of thanks was given Mr, Dodge for his kindness in giving the com- mittee use of the rooms. . —_—=._—_. OVERHEAD WIRES. Judge Kimball to Show Cause in Tele- wraph Linemen’s Case. Upon the application of counsel for Philip H. Deffer and Harry Smith, recently con- victed in the Police Court, under the act of March 22, 1862, of obstructing the streets, Judge Cole, late yesterday afternoon, issued a rule against Judge Kimball of the Police Court, requiring him to show cause -vhy he should not be stopped from sentencing the men this morning. In the application for the rule it is stated that the defendants were employes of the Postal Telegraph Company, which com- any was chartered in 1 to do business in the transmission of telegraphic dis- patches; that it is under contract to per- form telegraph service as required by the government, and subject to a penalty for neglect or refusal; that it is an instrument of interstate and foreign commerce, and the Postmaster General fixes the rates which the company shall charge for carry- ing government messages, and that it is so far an agency of the government. It is also claimed that Congress makes all public highways to be post roads, and as the defendants were prosecuted for ex- tending the telegraph lines of the company along and across 9th street, they were simply extending the lines along and across a post road, a thing they had full right and authority to do. It is claimed also that the ordinance of forbidding the use of streets, was never intended to apply to telegraph companies, but if it be held to so apply it was annulled by the act of 1866, section 5263, and following sections of the United States Revised Statutes; and, finally, that telegraph wires are not obstructions within the meaning of the law. — Gets Damages. Yesterday afternoon, the jury in the case of Wm. G. Burns against Silas S. Daish, in which the plaintiff claimed $25,000 dam- ages for alleged malicious prosecution, re- turned a verdict in favor of Mr. Burns, awarding him $1,000 damages. The defen- dant, it was alieged, caused the arrest of the plaintiff in December, 1893, on a war- rant, charging false pretenses, but the case was dismissed in the Police Court. ae To Compel Conveyance. A bill in equity has been filed by Ar- thur C. Moses against Clifford B. Maxwell, to compel the conveyance of lot 16, square 782, and lot 4, square 149, the defendant having, it is alleged, agreed to convey them in payment of a debt due the com- plainant. eee eee Royal Blue Line to Atlantic City. Under the new schedule effective May 12, the Royal Blue Line service to and from Atlantic C@y has been greatly improved. * THE GRAY @ND BLUE Secretary Herbert sto Be Memorial Day Orator at Stt/Elizabeth’s. ACTIVITY OF THE SRTRIOTIC LADIES Arrangements for.!the General Ob- servance of:the Day. DETAILS *OF THE OCCASION There is a prospect that the Memorial day celebration at St. Elizabeth’s cemetery will be more than ever interesting this year. It will, indeed, take on a national importance. The orator of the day there will be Sec- retary Herbert. Mr. Herbert was formally invited by the John A. Logan Post of Anacostia last week, and, after careful consideration, accepted the invitation. Secretary Herbert was a confederate soldier. The dead who lie on the beautiful hills above the-river at it. Elizabeth’s are mainly those who died in the many hos- pitals that were located in that vicinity dvring the war. There, also, are buried About one hundred brave boys in gray, who died while under care in the Union hos- pitals. The poet at St. Elizabeth’s will be D. J. Davis of the Navy Department, who is well known as a writer of verse, and upon several occasions has delivered Memevial day poems. The citizens of Anacostia are co-operating generously with the memorial committee, and the general interest in the day promises the fullest measure of suc- cess. The children of the public schools will be taken in conveyances to the ceme- tery, where they will take part in the ex- ercises and participate in decorating the many graves, after which they will be taken home as they came. The parade starts for the cemetery at 10 a.m., and the exercises will begin at 11 a.m. The President May Be There. It is not improbable that President Cleve- land will choose to be a visitor to the cemetery where his cabinet officer is to be the orator of the day. Last year he visited Arlington. Nothing definite is known of the President’s intentions, but this is the supposition today in Anacostia. The Loyal Women. The adjourned meeting of the Legion of Loyal Women held Monday night was large, and much important business was traus- acted. As heretofore announced, Col. Sweet, as chairman of decorations and grounds, and the memorial committee of the G. A. R. most cordially invited all the various patriotic organizations to take part in the services, and, to secure unity of action, has assigned to each a special part of.the work, in accordance with which plan the Legion of Loyal Women decided to go to Artington and take part in the services. there, its special assignment being, as for years past, secuan D of the pri- vates’ graves and the’officers’ graves. Through the courtesy: ef the War De- partment, a large tent will be fitted up so that the committees and comrades of the G, A. R., ladies of the G@ A. R. and other workers can, as usual, have their luncheon and hot coffee in comfort. Special Decorations. The usual handsome -floral ‘saddie, the tribute to “Little Phil in the saddle,” will be sent to Sheridan's @ensb by the legion. The great anchor will. be placed at the tomb of Admiral Porter, and the custom- ary large flo flag at the Tomb of the Unknown. At Gen, Logan's tomb the ladies will place a large sbieid aa St Of the black eagle of illineis. The: memorials: have been adopted as.speekil oiferings from the legion, ana go every year, as well as many other tributes of Varying designs, among which may be named one to the graves of Capt. Frank Hatton and Gen. R. D. Mussey Legion Hail, 419 10th street northwest, will be opea all day, from a.m. to 9 p.m., on Wednesday, May 29, for the reception of the flowers, ivies, evergreens, &c., to be used in making up the many beautiful ffo- ral pieces necessary for this work. Large baskets will be ready, wherein flowers will be carefully placed, so arranged as to avoid unnecessary handiing and the waste of flowers, which heretofore has seemed inev- {table in large collections, the busy expert workers making them up so rapidly as to prevent any loss. Services Out of Town: Much to the regret of thé ladies, it was found that the hour fixed for the services at Alexandria was too near that of the Ar- Ungton services to admit of attending both, as had been planned, so the invitatioa re- ceived from the Union Veteran Legion to accompany them and take part in the ser- vices at Alexandria could oniy be accepted by sending a representative committee, which was duly appointed. Special committe were.also appointed at the official request of Senior Vice Com- mander Howlett, in charge of the services at Soldiers’ Home, and others in charge at Congressional cemetery, Glenwood, Rock Creek, Oak Hill and others, so that the le- gion will bz represented at’ every cemetery within the jurisdiction of the G. A. R. of this department. The Legion of Loyal Women also author- ized its special committee to secure an ora- tor for the services at Culpeper, the ladies sincerely regretting that the other arrange- ments will prevent a large representation from the legion itself, as had been ex- pected. Many invitations to take part in_ the services of Sunday, May 26, were received. Those from Capt. M. T. Anderson, as de- partment commander of the G. A. R., for the legion to attend the Sabbath morning services at Vermont Avenue Christian Church and Sabbath evening services at St. John’s Church were declined with proper acknowledgments of thanks, the legion having previously decided to ac- cept the invitatious of No. 69, Union Vet- eran Legion, to attend services under their auspices at 7:39 p.ia. at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets. The legion will meet in the church parlors at the L street entrance previous to 7:15, so as to enter together. The legion also ap- pointed a large delegation to attend the services to be held under Encampment No. 111, Union Yeteran Legion, at 3 o'clock Sunday, May 26, at the Metropolitan Pres- byterian Church. —_—_—__ New Trains on Royal Blue Line.

Timothy Quinn Raised a Row at a Boarding House. Timothy Quinn, who figured in a case in the Police Court Monday because of his conduct in a house near 13th and H streets, hired a room in the house of Miss Nellie Sweet, No. 1101 18th street, after he left the court and there he repeated his con- duct that got him in his former difficulty. After renting the room he remained in the house and did not go to work, although he said he was a clerk in the War Depart- ment. While in the house he had for his companion a demijohn of whisky, and when he was well under the influence of the beverage he became noisy and trouble- some, and badly frightened Miss Sweet, who decided to institute proceedings against him, in order to get him out of the house. Quinn refused to leave the house when ordered out and because of his vio- lent conduct Miss Sweet sent for a police- man,who reached the house about 9 o'clock. The major was found in his room lying on the bed with the gas turned on. He had not been there long enough to have been made unconscious, and he was ready to fight the officer. There was a struggle and the man was finally landed in the police station. When he appeared in Judge Miller’s court this morning his face was badly bruised and scarred, but just how he managed to get disfigured was not stated. _ Judge Miller heard the evidence of Miss Sweet and the defendant. He teld the man that when his case was tried Monday he thought there was probably some trouble on both sides, and gave him the benefit of it. Today’s case, however, satisfied him that the man was in the wrong. He was required to give real estate security or go down for sixty days. ——— Jim Got Sixty Days. Jim Day, a colored boy, who felt the ef- fects of the cool weather, early this morn- ing got out of bed and went out with a bucket and wheelbarrow and went to the Baltimore and Ohio freight yard to get some coal. Watchman Calvert found him there and placed him under arrest. Jim ob- jected to being deprived of his liberty and being put away out of the bright sunshine, ‘and so he pruceeded to use his bucket on the watchman’s arm. Fortunately for the watchman, his arm was not broken. When the prisoner reached. the police station a large stone was found fn his pocket. ‘How did the stone get in your pocket?” Judge Miller asked him. “The policeman put it in there,” he an- swered. “That’s not so,” said the officer, “and I can call Lieut. Kelly to prove the truth of what I say.” Jim was given sixty days. ee They Fought. William Mills and Lucy Phillips, a young colored couple, appeared before Judge Mil- ler today on a charge of violating the Utah act, and they plead guilty. “What is there in this case?” Judge Mil- ler asked. “They have been living together and have one child,” answered Policeman Woltz, “but they are always fighting and causing trouble.” ‘That's right,” volunteered Lucy, “‘and it’s all because he won't give me any mon- ey for the child. When I ask him for mon- ey he beats me.” Mills was fined $10 or thirty days and the girl was sent home to take care of her baby. . —_——_—.

I have used your CUTICURA REMEDIES, and can truthfully say that they are everything and more than you represent them. Last spring I was greatly troubled with blood poisoning caused by iphtherla, Large sores made their appearance on my face, and my hands were in such a condition that I could not use them. After trying numerous physicians and remedies and receiving no benefit therefrom, I was advised to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and did so, and I am now free from all my skin trouble. I cannot speak praise enough for your remedies. | SAMUEL J. KEELER, 2232 Fatrmount ave., Baltimore, Md. BABY SEVERELY AFFLICTED. My baby was severely afflicted with some dread- ful skin disease. Its head, face und hands for awhile were nearly one solid sore. I bad doctors prescribe for it, tried several remedies, but all seemed to do no good. I saw an advertisement of the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and concluded .to try them. I bought a complete set, and began using, and now my little girl seems to be complete- ly cured. GEO. W.
