Last night Davis Post, Grand Army of the Republic, attended the service at Grace Episcopal Church in a body, where the rector, Rev. C. E. Ball, preached an elo- quent sermon. He took as his text He- brews, the 13th chapter and 14th verse, and his sermon was a most interesting one and much enjoyed by the large congrega- tion that heard it. Owing to the inclement weather of the | Morning, the congregations in the various ghurches were not as large as usual, though interesting sermons were preached. |In all except the Second Presbyterian Church the resident rectors officiated. In that church Rev. W. W. Corson preached at both the morning and evening services. ‘The Railroad Mission Chapel was opened for the first time yesterday afternoon, and Mr. E. W. Gamble of the Theological Semi- nary delivered an interesting address. [Phere was a much smaller number of visit- ors in town during the day than usual. > A Well-Protected Tramp. At an early hour this morning Special Officer Kimball noticed one of the windows 9% a passenger coach standing on the side track of the Washington Southern railway open and an investigation found three tramps inside asleep. He called Officer Young and arrested the men. On one of them was found a loaded thirty-two-caliber Teyolver, set of brass knuckles, two knives, a lot of poker chips, beer checks, &c. The meyor fined him $20 in the police court this morning for carrying concealed Weapon: Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Strauss disposed of ten cases, as follows: Wilson Braxton, Beverly Washin-qon and ‘William Washington, charged vfj fight- ing, were fined #2 each; Dan Bryant and li Bryant, on the same charge, were dis- mi: Edward Woodlawn, charged with making the boys fight, was fined $3; Ed- ward Hill and John Nickerson, vagrants, ‘were sent to the chain gang for twenty days each. ¥ Frank Brigman, charged with carrying concealed weapons, was fined $20. Nellie Whalan, charged with disorderly conduct, fined $5. A small boy, for attempted larceny, was turned over to his mother to be whipped. A Disorderly House. Right in the heart of the city a disorder- \ly house was discovered by the police last jmight, and it was promptly suppressed. Shortiy after midnight while Policemen \Beach and Ferguson were walking , their ‘beat, on Pitt street between King and Cameron, they heard fussing and squab- {bling, and the air was made blue with oaths. They went to the house and ar- ‘rested a woman named Nellie Whalan, and the mayor fined her 35 this morning.

The writer is an old wheelman, having ridden one of the first of the old high wheels. It has always been a source of great pleasure. But what there is about a bicycle which should make it a monstrosity and cause it to be looked upon as a common enemy of mankind is more than I can see. A quiet citizen chooses a vehicle which he can propel himself, which is in its keep absolutely no expense, rather than a horse to draw a vehicle which he fntends to use in the same manner. Many such have decided that they cannot afford to keep a herse, but by using a bicycle they can live farther in the suburbs, and thus reduce rent, live quietly and give the chil- dren a chance to grow up under more be- Deficent influences. He purchases such a vehicle, and finds that in two or three monihs the saving in rent has paid for his carriage, and that he is enabled, owing to his absolute Independence of street cars, to enjoy the country longer and still get to work in time. But he also finds that he is compelled to carry a lantern and bell, comething his rich neighbor with the grand carriage, rattling chains and stamping steeds, does not have to do; that he must get a permit to be upon the streets, some- thing his neighbor is not compelled to do, and that, with the singie exception of the air, which this same neighbor finds incon- venient to deny him, he is freo to do abso- lutely nothing when in possession of a twenty-five-pound carriage except by per- mission of the drivers of horse-propelled vehi¢ies. Now, the number of these same citizens is here growing to ‘‘enormots pro- portions, and the day does not seem to be far distant when the streets will be so far filled with wheels that ordinary carriage travel * © © will be difficult, if not dangerous.” When the streets of Washing- ton get so thick with bicycles that the drivers of trucks, drays, carts, cable cars, herdics, hacks, steam rcfiers, etc., will have to abandon the street because it is “diffi- cult, if not dangerous,” for them to use the streets owing to the number of twenty- five-pound wheels, the bicycle millennium will be here, for, no thanks to the drivers, they will wipe out of existence the restrict- ive ordinances by virtue of the author- ity of broad-minded, sensible legislators. “Se ing is becoming too frequent and kless on the avenue.” Well, what's the matter with the police? Has not the bicycle been declared a vehicle by every court before which it has come? Then it is emenable to ordinances prohibiting fast driving. Iam unable to understand why a vehicle, no matter how driven, should not be attacked. There are, proportionately, many times more people injured right here in Wash- ington by horse and mechanically pro- pelle] vehicles than by cycles. The writer has for some time past saved. the notices in The Star of accidents by delivery wag- ons, beer wagons, bread wagons, carts, street cars, bicycles, ete., and the propor- tion is to 1 in favor of the bicycle. Why is this? It is simply because, first, wheel- women and wheelmen, as a class, are sensi- ble, careful people, observant of the con- veniences and comforts of others; and, second, because these same wheelwomen and wheelmen can glide in and out among the vehicles and pedestrians with a pre- cision and facility not understood by the layman, and not possible with any other carriage on earth, and can come to a stop almost instantly In case of an emergency. One out of fifty-six, Mr. Editor, and the last one was by a horse-drawn vehicle. On the other hand, a rider of a bicycle receives Jess consideration in the street than any other class of carriages. One of the latest accidents to a wheelman was that to the nan, I think he was a member of s Club, but have forgotten his who was overtaken and run down repair truck of the Washington and etown Railroad Company, on P nia avenue near 16th_ street. as scorching that time? Surely not the cycler, who was overtaken and run down from behind. writer has not the least objection in e world to mounting policemen on wheels order to overtake these reckless riders and bring them to a realization of the righ of others, and a knowledge that t amenable to the ordinance against iving. It Would not take such very expert policemen either, for our good riders and fast men do not scorch in the streets; it is only the young greenhorn with his first bicycle. CF. J. ACROSS EASTERN BRANCH Anacostia Notes of Interest to All Resi- dents, Troubles in Hillsdale Church at an End—G. A. R. Men Attended Services Yesterday. The troubles which have existed in the Hillsdale A. M. E. Church for several weeks past have been settled, apparently, to the satisfaction of all concerned. Bishop Wes- ley J. Gaines, who presided’ over the re- cent conference and made the appointment of Rev. W. C. Gowens to the pastorate of the Hillsdale church, yesterday morning visited the church and adjusted the catire difficulty. Before proceeding to do this he preached an exceedingly able sermon, the object of which seemed to be to prepare his hearers to believe that they ought to obey the suggestions of the Holy Spirit in church matters rather than their own wills, Following the sermon and benediction, a business meeting, lasting about an hour, was held. The financial) and some other of the most important affairs of the churen were reviewed, and at the close Bishop Gaines told the members that he would remove Mr. Gowens at once, but they must on their part agree to accept any minister that he (the bishop) saw proper to send them, and to this they consented. The bishop then assigned Rev. F. M. Oveiton to preach a sermon in the church last night, which the latter did, and, after shaking hands wth nearly every one present, the former started for Washington, Mr. Gow- eps accompanying him. In conversation Bishop Gaines said he would find work for Mr. Gowens to do, but he did not intimate what he would do with Mr. Ovelton. The latter has frequently admitted since the adjournment of the conference that during the session of that body he wrote a note, which was shown to the bishop, in which Mr. Ovelton said a high official*of the church was guilty of telling a falsehood, and, although the preacher afterward re- tracted the use of the objectionable lan- guage, the bishop is understood to have regarded, and has openly said that, the offense was. of so serious a aature es to call for thé offender's removal from the pastorate held by him last year, and where his return was desired, and his transfer to a less important station. It is thought, however, that Bishop Gaines will not leave Mr. Ovelton out in the cold entirely, but will transfer him to another conference if the latter will accept. It is also expected that the preacher who is to preside over the destinies of the Hillsdale church during the ensuing year will be selected during the present week, so that he can be inaugurat- ed Sunday next. In accordance with a_ long-established custom of many active sympathizers. with the G. A. R., services, such as are held in numerous places the Sunday previous to Memorial day, were held last night at Garden Memorial Church, Anacostia. An immense audience was present. The in- terior of the edifice was beautifully fes- tooned with United Sjates flags and deco- rated with palms and-other tropical plants. The sermon was by Rev. J. B. North, and the text was, “As a Good Soldier of Jesus Christ.” The address was interspersed with the relation of war incidents, and the preacher commanded the uninterrupted at- tention of all present from the beginning to the close of -his address. Prior to the com- mencement of the exercises the members of the Woman's Relief Corps assembled at the house on Minnesota avenue, and pro- ceeded in a body to the church, while those of John A. Logan Post, G. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans met at Masonic Hall and marched to the church. So great was the attendance that many persons were unable to gain admittance to the building. Mr. Franklin Clough, a well-known at- tendant at St. Elizabeth’s Asylum, where he had been employed for the past nine years, died at a late hour Saturday night at his home on Monroe street, Anacostia, after an illness of ten days, with typhoid fever. Mr. Clough was forty-one years of age, and leaves a widow and one child. He came to Anacostia from Erie, Pa., about ten years ago.»He was ae member of St. Teresa’s Catholic Church. and §t. Teresa's branch of the Catholic Knights of Ameri- ca. His funeral will take place Tuesday morning, and services will be-conducted by Rev. Father T. B. Hughes. The interment will be in Congressional cemetery. The consecration prayer meeting last evening of the Christian Endeavor Society ef the Minnesota Avenue Presbyterian Church was led by the president of the society, Mr. Carlton E. Snell. The topic was “Christ's Cross My Cross,” taken from Mark 8, 34-38. The music was in charge of Miss Eliza Anderson, organist. Rev. James McLaren, pastor of Anacos- tia Methodist Episcopal Church, yesterday morning’ preached a sermon to the chii- dren of the Sunday ‘school on “Snake Bites.” The snakes referred to were those of intemperance and other sins. The music, which was a decided feature, was under the direction of Miss Emma Bowen, organist and leader. The police authorities of Anacostia are, investigating the reported robbery of the cigar store of W. H. Truslow, on Monroe Street, early Saturday morning. It is al- leged that thieves entered by a back door and stole some clothing, candy, cigars, etc., valued in all at about $30. There is no ciew to the perpetrators. Mrs. M. M. North of Anacostia, depart- ment chaplain of the Woman’s. Relief Corps, Army ef the Potomac, will have charge of the decoration of the isolated graves of deceased soldiers at Dranesville and other places in Fairfax county, Va., on Memorial day. Mrs. North, who has had charge of a-vast amount of the de- tails of the preparations for the proper ob- servance of the day at St. Elizabeth's Asylum and other places in “the vicinity of Washington, has completed her labors and today will go to her country seat in Loudoun county, Va., where she will spend the greater part of the summer, but, oc- casionally, will visit her home in Ana- costia. i The Union Sunday school, which was re- cently organized at Silver Hill, Prince George’s county, Md., by Mr. R. H. Jor- dan of Anacosiia, has been successful be- yond all expectations. Not only have near- lyall the children of the neighborhood united with the society, but many adults are reg- ular attendants and they evince the great- est interest in the success of the under- taking. A large audience attended services at Emanuel Baptist Church, Garfield City, last night to witness the termination of the eight years’ pastorate of Rev. J. A. ‘Taylor, who preached an interesting and logical sermon from the subject, ‘“Chris- tlan Activity Insures Rich Rewards,” after which papers were read by Madame Jane Chase and Miss Martha Fields, which paid glowing tributes to the pastor’s ability and worth. Mr. J. N. Wanzer acted as master of ceremonies. ——+. Under Edmunds Law. A few days ago a colored couple, Ben- jamin Dines and Sallie Morris, appearcd in the Police Court on a charge of hav- ing violated the Edmunds law, and were given time to pay the fine. When released they went off and got married, but did not return and pay the fine. This morn- ing Mr. and Mrs. Dines were brought into court on an attachment to pay the fine, but Judge Miller remitted the penalty when he heard that they were married and living together. William Miller and Sarah Jackson ap- peared on a charge of having violated the y plead guilty and were fined $10 or days each. Joseph Williams, a seventeen-year-old colored boy, charged with a similar offense, plead guilty and was fined $5 or fifteen days. _—— Sentenced for Bigamy. Raphel Behrmann, indicted here July 12, 1888, for bigamy, today withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty. Judge Cole thereupon sentenced him to four months in jail and to pay a fine of $25. At Riga, Russia, Behrmann married Sarah Dina on the h of December, and, while this woman lived aly one Fannie Kemp. Subsquedt removed with the latter to North Carolina, - he was sentenced to eighteen months in jail for living there with her. Upon his release, severa! months ago, he was brought here, and has since remained in jail. In view of the fact that the man had suf- fered punishment in Nerth Carolina Judge Cole today imposed the above stated s tence. —_ In tt egian storthing, the premi Emil Stang, has announced that the cai- inet Is ready to retire if such action would facilitatc a settlement of the existing diffi- culties. LATE SPORTING NEWS PUSHED BELOW ST. LOUIS. The Browns Administer Severe Defeat to the Senators. About 6,000 persons witnessed the game at St. Louis yesterday between Washing- ton and St. Louis. The Browns made runs as they wished and had the visitors at their mercy from the outset. Joyce being dis- abled, Hassamer took Bill’s place at third base. The pitchers were very wild, Breit- enstein giving 11 bases on balls, Stocksdale amd Malarkey four each. McGuire suc- ceeded Coogan at short and did poorly. Coogan went behind the bat and‘had only two chances, which he accepted. ‘The Browns batted like fiends and had no trou- ble in winning. The Washingtons are now on their way home to play the first home series with the western clubs. ST. LOUIS. WASHINGTON.

During the western trip of the eastern clubs the Phillies did the best work, with nine victcries and six defeats. The New Yorks won eight games and lost seven. Baltimore won six out of thirteen, and the Bostons took only six out of fifteen. Washington -is credited with six victories and eleven defeats, while the Brooklyns bring up the rear with five games won and twelve lost. . The Cincinnatis have done the best work of the western teams, winning thirteen games out of sixteen played. The Chicagos come next with twelve won and five lost, and Pittsburg is third with eleven victories and five defeats. Cleveland has won eight and lost six. St. Louis captured seven out of seventeen, and the Louisvilles have only one victory to their credit, the one they scored over the New York team. Cincinnati won four from the Washing- ters, Chicago three, Pittsburg two, Cleve- The Wash- le, two from St. Louis and one each from Cleveland and Pittsburg. It is not a creditable record, and the poor consolation is offered that Brooklyn did worse. Base Ball Notes. McGarr, the Cleveland’s regular third baseman, is playing second, owing to in- jury to Childs. Bonner is playing third for Baltimore, Hanlon having tired of playing his pitch- ers in infield positions. Carey, the Orioles’ successor to Brouth- ers, made four clean hits yesterday. Ev dently the club will rot miss big Dan. Peo- ple are now experiencing the significance of President Byrnes’ “Wait!” when the Orioles took Dan frgm Brooklyn. LAST RACE BEFORE SAILING. Cornell’s Henley Eight to Row the Stay-at-Homes Today. ‘The Cornell University eight which is to row at the Henley regatta@ in England in July will take their last practice pull in this country this afternoon on Cayuga lake. The crew will row, as before, the stay-at-home eight which is to row Co- lumbia and the University of Pennsylva- nia. Every time, so far, the Henley crew has won and has demonstrated its supe- ricrity. Courtney, the trainer, is not con- sumed with confidence. In conversation with the New York Times’ correspondent yesterday Coach Courtney sald: ‘The good form which the men of the Henley crew have shown in comparison with the other’eights has led to entirely too optimistic a view of our chances among the public and the student body in general. While I cannot complain of the work of the men thus far there is not a man in the boat who has not serious indiyidual faults to be overcome. There is, of course, no reason for discouragement, but the men who are talking about a ‘cinch’ for Cornell must be basing their opiniors on something else than the work that has been dofle thus far.” One of the Cornell professors who is well acquainted with the Thames course said: “The Thames is a tricky, shifting, uneasy stream, and the possibility of accident is great even in the case of crews that have raced on the course many times. The Thames has shoals, it is wind swept, and the effect of tides and the current must be taken into consideration. The Thames offers many problems, and it seems to me that the probability of accident is greater than on most of our American courses.” “How does the Thames course compare with Lake Cayuga in your estimation?” “It is almost impossible ~ tq compare them,” he replied. “The problems offered by the two courses are different, and there are certain advantages in each. Hesides, the Thames is never the same on two suc- cessive days. It seems to me, however, that the average time on the Thames, so far as determined by the course, should be some few seconds slower than the lake. However, Courtney will have four weeks or more in which to test the course, and it is safe to say that he will find out all that it is possible to discover in that time.” WILLING TO ROW CORNELL. Bob Cook Gives His Consent for a Race With the Henley Crew. In speaking of his trip abroad, Bob Cook, the Yale coach, says in regard to the Hen- ley regatta, in which Cornell is to be rep- resented, that Cornell stands a good chance of winning a race. She will not meet a typical college, crew, which will make her chances so much more favorable. Concern- ing his observations of boating matters on the other side, Mr. Cook says: “The Englishmen are not interested in Cornell. ‘They told me that they had more fear for the German eight this vear than from any other crew they would have to compete with. While I think Cornell ought to have a good chance to win at Henley, I don't admit Cornell's superiority to Yale oarsmen. We do not care to row Cornell every year, but now that she feels that she has a corking good crew, I for my part would just as soon row her a race for the purpose of easing her mind a bit, elther be- fore she goes to England or when she re- turns to this country. That would settle ail this talk all the while going on about Corneli's fast crew for once and forever, I believe. THE MOTT HAVEN GAMES, Yale Curried Off the Honors, Peonsylvania Second, The intercollegiate field and athletic tournament, which was held at Berkley Oval on Saturday, resulted in a victory for Yale, with Pennsylvania and Harvard sec- | ond ‘end third, respectively. Many inter- ' collegiate and collegiate records were equaled and broken, as will be seen from this: Records equaled—Crum, 10 seconds in With 100-yards dash; Ch: aeons in 120-yar and Torrey, 15 4-5 “hurdle race; Bremer, seconds in rds hurdle race. .

Surprisingly Strong Pliny by Clubmen and Soldiers. The downpour of rain.late Saturday af- ternoon prevented the completion of a re- markably good game of polo, which was being played on the grounds of the Chevy Chase Club, by a team representing that organization and one from troop A, at Fort Myer. The clubmen, who were H. M. Earle, captain, and Messrs. Lewis Earle, Porter and Curran, succeeded in winning 8ne goal from their military opponents, comprising Lieut. Short, captain, and Pri- vates Davie, White and Wyant. The play- ers showed surprising skill, and the contest was animated and exciting. During the third interval of play Mr. Curran was struck on the’shoulder by Private White's horse while making an interference play, and was replaced by Mr. Marrow. Despite the bad weather there was a large crowd in attendance, which will doubtless be largely augmented when the finish of the game is played next Saturday. ‘Wheeling Without Labor. The petroleum wheel has so far passed beyond the experimental stage that there is a prospect of a good many of them be- ing seen on the road very shortly. The German bicycle, says the American Wheel- man, is less cumbrous than it was when it first made its appearance, but it is not likely to have much sale, on account of its origin. It has, anyway, stimulated the in- ventive ingenuity of several French makers, who are introducing some new types of automatic wheels. One of these is a tri- cycle manufactured by Messrs. Dion, Bou- ton et Cie, and is driven by a small petro- leum motor constructed of forged steel. The fixtures are all made of aluminum so as to reduce the weight as much as possi- ble. The speed attained by this machine is from 20 to 22 kiloms an hour, and suffi- cient oil can be carried for a journey of 200 kiloms.. A small accumulator ise car- ried to ignite the petroleum by an electric spark. The motor works quite independ- ently of the pedals, which need only be used for starting the machire. The price of the tricycle is $240, a figure that is cer- tainly not too high for those who find that the work of pedaling an ordinary wheel detracts from the pleasures of cycling. Athletes of the Naval Academy. The fourth annual athletic meeting of the naval cadets was held at the academy grounds at Annapolis Saturday afternoon. The 100-yard dash was won by Henderson in 10 2-5 seconds. | Karns threw a sixteen- pound hammer 92 feet 7 inches and put the sixteen-pound shot! 35 feet 91 inches.

Henderson ran a quarter of a milé in 56 seconds, snd Nelson won a fifty-yard swimming race in 33 seconds. - teas ks Princeton, Beats Lafayette. Princéton sent.her regular team to Eas- ton Saturday and played a great game.

Lord Dunraven’s Cup Challenger Now in the Water. Lord Dunraven's yacht, Valkyrie III, was. successfully launched early this norning at Glasgow. It was learned yesterday that the yacht might be launched on the night tide. When it was found that the water would be sufficiently hight, it was decided that the launching should take place on top of the flood. , The chain was let go with a rush at 1:45, and the cradle in which the yacht rested ran down to the end of the slip, where the water reached to the boat's bilge. Here the yacht was allowed to remain while the tide rose. At 2:05 o'clock it was top | high water, and daylight was just break- { ing. The work of breaking the cradle clear Was soon: finished, and at 2:15 o'clock the Valkyrie was afloat. There was no cheering or excitement in the yard as the yacht took the water. The place was almost deserted of visitors. The night was perfect for putting the yacht in the water. There was scarcely a breath of wind, and no moon was shining. The stars were out, however. The iight- ing of the yard was so effective that all the proceedings could be easily seen, The new yacht sits high in the water, showing a good p! of her black bottom. She looks to be right for holding her head nicely up. A tug was in waiting to take the boat to her dock at once for the stepping of her mast, which lies ready in the yard. A new boom is being made of steel, clad on the outside with wood. A boom of Oregon pine had been made, but the idea of using steel occurred to Mr. Watson two weeks ago, and it was adopted. The platers are Dow setting the plates for this boom. GLASGOW, May ford Dunraven’s daughters, Ladies Rachael and Ailen, christened Valkyrie III this morning. Af- ter the launching she was towed to the queen’s dock, where her mast, which is not yet quite ready, will be stepped. The cup challenger will then be taken to Gour- ock, in order to be completely fitted out. lier first races will occur on the Clyde during the period of racing known as the “Clyde Fortnight.” 5; Mr. George L. Watson, the designer of Valkyrie III, informed a’representative of the Associated Press after the launching that he had great hopes of Valkyrie III. He added that she was’ more powerful than Britannia. TO WHEEL A MILE A MINUTE. Making Arrangements for a Novel Trial. PHILADELPHIA,Pa., May 27.—Frederick W. Burns of the Varuna Boat Club of Brooklyn has been in correspondence with Vice President Frank Thomson of the Pennsylvania railroad in the interest of Charles Murphy, the crack New York bi- cyclist. Burns and a,number of metro- politan bicycling enthusiasts are of the opinion that Murphy, paced by a locomo- tive, can ride a mile on his wheel in one minute. Vice President Thomson has been asked to grant permission to Murphy’ friends for a public trial on any of the di- visions of the Pennsylvania railroad, the New York division preferred, allowing one of the railroad’s fast locomotives to pace the rider. The idea is to lay a broad track within the two steel rails, on which Murphy will propel his wheel, following in the wake of the locomotive. He will encounter no wind resistance, the suction from the en- gine being in reality an assistance. He is cenfident of his abilfty to accomplish the feat, and is eager to prove that the limit of speed of a bicycle has not yet been reached. The Sheepshead Bay Races.
