CITY AND DISTRICL pecans items BENNING CITIZENS, Regular Meeting and the Busincss Transacted. “There was an excellent attendance at the meeting of the Benning Citizens’ Assocta- tion last evening, due largely to the fact that a new town hall is soon to be dedi- caved, and the -interest of everybody is thoroughly aroused. Vice President Mew- shaw called the meeting to order, and after minutes of last meeting were read and approved, the road committee made its re- pert, showing that improvements were be- ing made as fast as the weather would per- mit. Mr. Levi T. Baker complained of the bad condition of the Anacostia road at the Sheriff crossing, and said several accidents had happened there owing to the miserable cenditicn of affairs. His remarks were supplemented by some vigorous language from Officer Dyer, whereupon the chair in- structed the road committee to have the rcad repaired and the gutter put in good conditionas soon as possible. Mr. J. W. France of the hall committee said he had seen Mr. Keyser, who agreed to let the association have the use of his new hall Tuesday evenings at a rental of $1 per night, and, on motion, the committee was instructed to engage it. After an unsuccessful attempt on the part of Mrr Baker to be excused from service on the enterta nt committee, it was, on motion, decided to reconsider the action taken at last meeting in reference to giving @ free entertainment, and then, after full discussion, it was decided to instruct the entertainment committee to provide such an entertainment as they see fit. The com- mittee has power to charge an admission fee if they so elect. The secretary then read a communication from Mr. Walter Vrooman of Baltimore offering to deliver a lecture before the as- sociation the latter part of June, and, on motion, it was referred to the entertain- ment committee. The monthly topic, “Home Life,” with special reference to tenement life in large ou Wg then taken up and quite fuily iscussed. ee FLOWERS FOR DECORATION DAY. Beautiful Annual Custom Followed in ‘ the Public Schools, Once a year the little ones who attend the public schools in this city take flowers as well as books to school with them, and as they go through the streets in the morning they give them the appearance of beiug in the possession of a gay May pro- cession. This morning this scene was re- peated, as nearly every public schvol schol- ar carried a flower or a bunch of them to be placed upon sume dead patriot’s grave tomorrow. This beautiful custom, which has resulted in Inspiring such general re- spect for Decoration day among the youth of Washingion, was inaugurated severai years azo and has been observed with gerness ever since. By the arrangements in force the chil- dren take their floral offerings to their respective schools, where they are turned over to the ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, who ‘distribute them to Ar- lington and the other cemeteries where the patriot dead lie buried. In many of the schools there were baskets provided, into which the children deposited their flowers, end in “which they were removed later in the day. The backwardness of the spring restricted the offerings somewhat, but they were large, nevertheless. — MORE Goops. Another Hiding Place for Taylor's Alleged Stolen Property. Yesterday when Milton W.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Three Respected Citizens Go to Their Last Rest. : Many Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek—End of the Baptist Revival. Mec. William Wetzel, a citizen who has always been closely identified with George- town, and who has ranked high among those of the utmost integrity, died yester- day morning at 34th and P streets. Mr. Wetzel was in his sixty-ninth year. He was the eldest son of the late Lazarus Wetzel, the octogenarian of the New Cut road. Deceased had always been a man of robust constitution, and had never known en illness of consequence. Immedi- ately on the death of his wife, over.a year ago, however, he began to decline. Mr. Wetzel leaves three sons and two daugh- ters. Mr Wetzel’s life was one of remark- able peace—free frem roughness and werld- ly ambitions. He was’ content to live within the bosom of his family—a highly respected member of the community. He was a Catholic and regular attendant at “Trinity. The funeral will be held Friday. Father Roccofort will officiate at Trinity. The interment will be at Holy Rood. Dex ceased leaves two brothers and a sister, in addition to his family, to particularly mourn his loss. Death of Wm. H. Collins. At 6:45 this morning Mr. Wm. H. Collins breathed his last. For nearly two years he has been affected. Death resulted from tuberculosis of the throat, which is said to have developed from a severe cold con- tracted while on a hunting trip two years ago. Last spring some time was spent in Florida, in the hope of securing beneficial results, but the object of the trip was not attained. Mr. Collins was the senior mem- ber of the firm of Wm. H. Collins & Co., liverymen, and was widely known through- out the city. He leaves a wife and two children. John H. Darneille Dead. At 2:30 yesterday Mr. John H. Darneille of this place died suddenly in Philadelphia. He was the son of the late Benjamin Dar- neille and brother of Mr. Hopewell H. Dar- neille, the District paymaster. The body arrived here at 1 o'clock today, and was taken te the establishment of Undertaker Birch. Mr. Hopewell Darneille was in charge of the remains. Acute rheumatism was the cause of death. .Deceased was en- gaged in Philadelphia in the insurance bus- iness. He was well known in Washington as the representative of large life com- panies. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 4 o'clock. Close of the Revival. Last night the Gay Street Church revival services closed with an unucually strong exhortation. The church, as usual, was packed: to the doors. Mr. Elsom based his discourse on the eighth chapter of Jere- miah, second verse—The harvest is past, the summer is gone, and ye are not saved.” The revivalist is a speaker of power, and last night he illustrated his sermon in many striking and original ways. Copious fig- ures of speech and similes were introduced to impress the minds of those in the con- &regation. Many stood for prayer, and numerous conversions followed. _Hymns were sung throughout the meeting, and the religious interest waxed high. It was Mr. Elsom’s last night, and he wanted it to be the banner night of the series. Baptizing followed the sermon. Tonight a sociable will be held in honor of the revivalist and his wife, and tomor- tow they leave for Fincastle, Va. Notes. The Altair Cyclists and some invited friends, about thirty in all, wheeled over to Donaldson's place, in Virginia, last even- ing, where they enjoyed a strawberry feast and all its accessories. There was speech- making and fun galore. One of the best speech?s was made by Mr. Rezin W. Dar- by, a specially invited guest. Josephine R. Shelley yesterday deeded to Amos Crounse lot 159 and part of lot 1g1, in Fickling’s sub, square 74, Beatty and Hawkins’ addition. 2 ———__. GREAT FALLS LINE. The Company Wishes to Increase Its Capital Stock. 2 A petition was filed yesterday afternoon by President Stilson Hutchins of the Washington and Great Falls Electric Rail- way Company for permission to increase the capital stock of the company to $650,000 and also to permit the company to retire $500,000 of the stock by replacing it with bonds. It is stated that the charter pro- vides that the company shall not issue more stock than the actual cost of the building of the road. An estimate of the expenses of construction made by an en- gineer of the company is filed with the petition, as follo’ Grading, $111, track, $76,361; line, $2 530; equipment, $169,906; power, general expenses, . $14 bridges, 640; 1,235 tons of rails, $34, motor cars are estimated at $1,800 each; trail cars, $1,500 cach; 50-horse power motor equip- ments, $1,100 each. The road, operated by the trolley system, is to run from this city to Cabin John bridge, the survey having been approved by the Secretary of War and by the Dis- trict Commissioners, and the building of the road will soon be commenced. eS WORKING ON SUNDAY. Attorney Says It is Necessary to Fal- fill Orders of Congress. “In the name of the Lord and of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union” is the commencement of an appeal received several days ago by the Commissioners from Mrs. M. E. Catlin, superintendent of the department of Sunday observance of the W. C. T. U., against the building of street railroads on Sunday. The Commis- sioners were urged to stop this Sunday work, and the Bible was quoted by refer- ence to Isaiah Ivi:4-7 and lvili:12-14. The letter was received May 11, and Mrs. Cat- lin has received a letter from the Commis- sioners inclosing the following opinion from Attorney Thomas: By Maryland act 1723, chapter 16, section 10, it is made unlawful for any person to labor on the Lord’s day—commonly cailed the Sabbath—except in cases of necessity, under a penalty of 200 pounds of tobacco ($3.33 1-3). I take it Mrs. Catlin refers to work on the 9th street line of the Metro- politan Railroad Company. If so, I have the honor to say that the company, by act of Congress approved August 2, 1802, is re- quired to complete and equip Its 9th street line with new motive power by the 2d of August next under the penalty of forfeit- ing its charter. If, the: re, it is neces- sary for the contractor in order to complete the road by that time to pros he con- struction on Sunday, then the work is one of necessity and Is not prohibited by the Maryland act of 1723. Low YEARS, . The Death Rate Went Stil Lower Last Week. The death rate in this city during last week was the lowest which has occurred for nine years. The number of deaths re. ported at the health department was as against 91 in the pre: rate upon the whole population was 1.41, and for the whites it fell to the remarkably low figure of 9.63 per thousand inhabitants. There was an almost total absence of from of the contagious dis- eases, and no death from typhoid fever was reported. The most prominent feature of the K's hygi lc history was the num- ber of Son the brain, reaching unts' ber of ten for the week. Infantile mortality stands at the normal, and as yet the annual visitation of sum- mer diarrhoe: has not made an appear- ance, f retarded by the late, cold spring. One effect of the recent enforcement of the so-called “Edmunds law” in this Dis- trict ainst p people cohabiting together as man and wife without legal marr be seen in the enormous return of 2 riages to the health officer during the week: ‘The usual number would be about 30. AMUSEMENTS. “My Wifes Mother.”—Frederic Bond and company are presenting this week at the Grand Opera Hovse an entertainment which cannot fail to please the many thea- ter gvers who will attend the performance during the week. The comedy, “Pink Dom- inos,” and the one-act -comedietta, “The Nettle,” form the most enjoyable evening’s entertainment yet presented by the Grand Opera House stock company. The bill for the sixth week, beginning next Monday, wili be the three-act farcical comedy, “My Wite’s Mother.’ Seats on sale tomorrow morning. A Festival of Music.—A May festival of music was given last evening for the bene- fit of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy, which was very successful in every way. A lengthy program was rendered, and the instrumental numbers, vocal solos and du- ets were listened to with a great deal of pleasure by those who were present. Mrs. Bingham-Cain sang the ‘‘Harp in the Air,” with harp obligato by Miss Clara Ross, the number beirg exceedingly well received. A duet by Mr. Lucius F. Randolph and Dr, Johr A. Daly was much appreciated, while Miss Merl Esputa and Miss Elise Davis were heard to advantage in a number of solos. The others who took part in the entertainment were Miss Noah, Miss Agnes V. Moran, Miss Blanche Wood, Miss Kath- ryn Doyle, Miss Mary Miller, Miss Mary Sweeny, Miss Regina Fowler, Miss Maggie Mundell, Mrs. E. L. Dessez, Miss Lora Saunders and Mrs. Margaret Nolan-Martin. “An Italian Duchess.”—The benefit for the Spinner memorial fund, which took place at the Academy of Music last even- J ins, was successful in so far as the per- formance was concerned, although there should have been a larger attendance. “An Italian Duchess,” an adaptation of ‘“‘Lucre- ua Borgia,” was given with Mrs. Boyd, as matic talent; Felix Mahoney, as her son; Mr. Bertram’ Temple, as the Duke D'Este; W. H. Conley, as Gubetta; Dr. Jones, as Jeppo, and A. T. Seaman, as Maffio; Dun- can Haywood, as Ascanio; Mr. Barrow, as Aloferno, and W. C. Stierlin, as Rustighello. Miss Mary Helen Howe played the part of the Princess Negroni, and in her love scene enlivened thé play with a solo. All of the cast were remarkably good, and although some of the participants have been seen in entirely different lines, they proved their versatility In a manner above criticism at last evening’s performance. The Imperial Mandolin Club played a selection from “Il Trovature” before the rise of the curtain and rendered additional music throughout the play. Miss Howe sang “Ah Fors ¢ Lui,” from “La Traviata,” and responded to a most hearty encore with Tosti’s “Remem- ber Me.” A-corps of lady ushers assisted in the proceedings. Those who took part in this part of the benefit were Mrs. Emily Powell, Misses Clara and Elsie Ulke, Miss Madge Shea, Misses Hattie and Hilda Her- zog, all being under the direction of Mr. Edward W. Koch and Mrs. J. W. Schoen- ecker. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Last night the fistic carnival at Kernan'’s commenced with a ten-round bout between Joe Gans of Baltimcre and Howard Wilson of Wash- ington. Gans received the decision, al- though Wilson was on his feet in good shape when the bout closed. Referee Northridge said in~announcinx the decis- fon that were it not stipulated that a de- cision should be given for purpose of de- claring the bout he would insist upon a draw. As it was Gans won on points. Dur- ing the week there will be other interest- ing bouts. Fred. Stewart, the well-known manager, has charge of the carnival. Prof. Sheldon’s May Ball.—The May ball which will be given at Metzerott’s Music Hall Friday evening, under the direction of Prof. Sheldon, will be of more than the usual amount of {interest to those who make a hab‘t of attending May balls. In addition to the regular order of affairs at a May ball, the spectacular play of Cin- derella will be produced, with all the dances, songs and scenery which made it so successful when it was produced here a short time ago An Organ Recital.Those who are fa- miliar with Mr. John Porter Lawrence's abilities on the organ will be glad to hear that he will give a recital at the Waugh M. E. Church, corner 3d and A streets northeast, Friday evening next. Mr. Law- rence is one of the leading organists of the city, and his capabilities to produce sweet tones and fine effects on the organ are nated. Cherch of Our Father.—Prof. T. Williams Pearman will give a coucert at the Church of Our Father on Friday evening next, which promises to be an extremely inter- esting musical event. Prof. Pearman will be assisted by Dr. J. W. Bischoff, Miss Anita Cluss, Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry, Miss Jennie Vivien Kerr, Miss Mary Scott Lockhart, Miss Edna Scott Smith, Miss Roberta ‘Allen and Mrs. C. B. Rheem. Prot. Pearman will himself sing three num- bers, which wil! enable his fine tenor voice to be heard to good advantage. Since he has becn in Washington Mr. Pearman has made many friends on account of his pleas- ing personality, as well as for his musi- cianly ability and the good work that he has done as precentor at the Church of the Covenant. He should be well supported at the coming concert. The Orphans Entertained.—The little foiks from the St. Vincent, St. Joseph and the Washington City Orphan Asylums were the guests of Manager Butler at But- ler’s bijou Theater yesterday, and heartily enjoyed the thrilling and humorous parts of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” The actors on the etuge entered energetically into the spirit of entertaining the homeless little ones, and it is safe to say that a more apprecia- tive audience or a play more heartily given would be hard to find. * — FISH ARE GETTING SCARCE. End of the Season is Now Appronch- ing. Potomac fresh-water fish are getting scarce and are bringing better prices than during the past month. There are no large white perch being caught, and the catch of shad and herring is getting smaller each day as the end of the season for these fish approaches. The season closes June 1, but under the law the dealers have ten days in which to dispose of the stock on hand. This results in their being caught and brought here up to the last day of grace, and there are always some shad to be had as late as the 25th of the month. Salt- water fish are a little more plentiful, and all the fish erriving here ncw are in first- class condition. Shad never were finer. White fish are scarce, crabs and clams are plentiful and large shipments are re- ceived here every morning. Soft crabs are being receiv@i from Crisfield, Md., and are selling at 75 cents a dozen. Frogs, like fish, are scarce, and were bringing $2 a dozen today. Birds arc scarce on the fish stands at this season, the principal thing in this line being squabs. Those raised in this vicinity retail at 25 cents each, while the Philadel- phia squabs sell at 35 cents. As soon as the shad and herring season is ended the summer seines will be put in the river for the catching of rock fish and perch. For some time these seines will haul out some shad, but they will be used by the men at the fishing shore or sold to the country people, as the law forbids their being brought here after June 10, as al- ready stated. i Yesterday at Golden’s stand in the market there was a large quill fish on ex- hibition. This queer specimen of fish was brought here on a boat from Kingston, Ja- maica, and is said by the market people to be the only cne in the city. ———_ Sunday Liquor Law. Howard P. Marshall and Albert Gleason, proprietors of the Oxford Hotel, were in the Police Court today charged with violat- ing the Sunday lquor law. Lawyer H. E. Davis, for the defendants, demanded a jury trial and the case went over until later in the week. i The Cattle Market. ‘At the Union stock yards, Benning, yes- terday the cattle market opened and sold as follows: Best, 5 3-4 to 6c.; good, 5 1-4 to 5 1-2c.; mediun, 4 3-4 to 5c.; common, 2 1-2 to 8 1-4c.

O’Ferrall: Agrees to Join Forces i rs With the Washington Board. of Trade in the War Against Evil. Mr. B. H. Warner, Dr. A. P. Fardon and Judge I. G. Kimball spent a pleasant and profitable two hours at the governor's mansion in Richmond yesterday afternoon in company with Gov. O’Ferrall of Vir- ginia. The gentlemen. went south as a representative committee of the Washing- ton board of trade for the purpose of con- ferring with the governor over ways and means by which the gambling and general lawlessness which now flourishes unre- strained in certain sections of Alexandria county may be stopped and punishment assured for those who persist in disre- garding the Virginia statutes. Mr. John B. Wight, secretary of the board of trade, was one of the party and was present at the conference. When the committee was met by the governor it was given a hearty and cordial reception, and its members very quickly perceived that Mr. O’Ferrall was as deeply interested in the subject as they were themselves. President Warner briefly out- lined the objects which the board of trade desired to accomplish, and then followed @ general discussion of the conditions ex- isting across the river. The governor stowed that he was per- fectly familiar with affairs in that vicinity, and promised to do everything in his power to eliminate the evils existing there. He said that if the board of trade would se- cure evidence of unlawful acts on the part of any-one in Alexardria county he would, if necessary, send the attorney general to Alexandria and have a special jury im- paneled to try the cases. He also assured the committee that he would have any cne who attempted to make foreign books at the race track prosecuted, and would prose- cute vigorously any other infraction® of law at these places. The visitors returned well pleased with the result of their jour- ney, and will prepare at once a report to the full committee. : ——.__—_ SELECTING THE DATE. Democratic Primaries in Montgomery Set fer July 20.- Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., May 29, 1895. Yesterday was a gala time among the democratic politicians of the county and Rockville was full of them during the en- tire day. A considerable amount of cau- cusing was done by the leaders of both factions of the party, but the general im- pression appears to be that little was done calculated to heal past dissensions. Rumors have been afloat for some days that propo- sitions had been offered for a compromise on the basis of a divided delegation to the legislature, but the proposed “deal” has apparently fallen through. It is expected that several new announcements of candi- dates for the legislature will appear in a few days. The cause of the great gather- ing here yesterday-was.the meeting of the state central and county committees of the party to arrange for holding the primary elections to make nominations for tHe state and county tieket. The commit- tees were in session for some hours and firally determined to held the primary elections in the several districts of the county on Saturday, 20th day of July next, fre 9 am. to 6 p.m, far the following officers: Governor, attorney general, con- troller of the treasury, associate judge for the sixth circuit, three members of the house of delegates, three judges of the orphans’ court, two county commissioners, state’s attorney and county surveyor. Persors who desire to be candidates for either of the above offices must, prior to the 9th of July, present their names to the chairman of the state central committee, accompanied by one dollar to insure the printing of their names on’ the primary ticket; otherwise, any votes cast for them will not be counted. At the same time a member of the county committee will be elected in each district. The committee appointed the following persons to act as judges of election: First district, Joseph Pcpe, G. F. Snouffer, H. H. Kirsey; second, James B. Neel, Chas. R. Murphy, W. H. Page; third, John H. Williams, Walter Fletchall, Chas. Metzger; fourth, Lewis L. Sadtler, Edward Garrett; Lee Offutt; fifth, Wm. E. Shaw, W. P. Waters, John S. Ar- rowsmith; sixth, J. N. Benton, G. Harriss, Julian Griffith; seventh, Benj. F. Ball, N. M. Perry, Robert Wilson; eighth, Wm. H. Nicholson, J. C. Bentley, Chas. Gartrell; ninth, J. T. Martin, A. L. Crown, James K. Walker; tenth, John W. Carroll, Wm. Dooley, L. M. Offutt, jr.; eleventh, Wm. G. Brewer, F. P. Hays, Louis Scholl; twelfth, Thompson Williams, John R. Purdum, Phil. B. Souder; thirteenth, Hazel Cashell, T. G. Hardesty, Wm. Cephas Hardy. The first named in each district was requested to act as return judge, and meet punctually in Rockville Tuesday, July 23, at 11 o'clock a.m. Under the primary election plan the person receiving the highest vote for gov- ernor will have the privilege of naming the four delegates to the state convention. Now, that the date of the primaries has been fixed, warm times may be expected all along the line. —————— SPEAKER CRISP’S PRINCIPLES. He Announces Himself Squarely for Free Coinnge of Silver.

About three weeks ago the Bame disease broke out again on the same leg, and my physician has been attending me regularly, call- ing from once to twice daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A friend called to see me end brought about one-half teaspoonful of CUTICURA, advising me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and mother having been cured by it. I would not try it at first, although I had been on crutches for over two weeks, and at one time I counted between twenty-five aud thirty suppurating sores, and had not slept more than five hours in three nights. Mon- day morning about 4 o'clock the pain, burning and itching became so severe that I determined to try CUTICURA, thinking that if it did no good, it could not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw as a piece of beef and as red as a beet, so I applice the CUTICURA, and in five minutes after I laid down I was asleep. Next day I sent and got a box of CUTICURA, and I'll pledge my honest word I Would not take $100 today for it, if I could not get another. I commenced using CUTICURA Monday morning about 4 o'clock, and today (Tuesday) my leg is nearly well, notwithstanding I had not walked & step without my crutches in two weeks. My gratitude to the man who first compounded CUTI- CURA Is profound. May God bless him. T. T. FRAZIER, South Boston, Va. CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS. Soid throughout the world.
