Boyd of No. 54 R street was walking along 14th between R and S streets northwest Friday afternoon he looked up at some linemen, who were changing the wires from the old to the new telegraph poles, and was struck upon the left temple by a descending piece of No. 16 wire about ten inches long, which fortunately glanced on the bone and penetrated the flesh for some distance under the scalp, and had to be’ extracted. He “was attended by Dr. Dooley. It would have been fatal in its re- sults had it come in perpendicular contact with his skull by striking him on, top of the head. SS A Kindergarten Entertainment.

She Gave Herself Up—Story of Their Domestic Unhappiness—No Inquest Held. The quiet country around Fairfax Court- house, Va., was shocked to a degree yester- day by a most sensational murder. Mary Harmon, a middle-aged white woman, who has always borne an excellent reputation, shot and killed her husband, John Harmon. ‘The weapon she used was a shot gun, and the full charge of buckshot entered her husband's face near the eye. He fell back and died without uttering a word or a groan. Outside of its shocking termination the story of the married life of John and Mary Harmon has little in it that is so very un- vsual. She is now forty-two years of age, and her husband Was about eight years her senior. In her cell at the Fairfax jail last evening her appearance was not the most attractive in the world. Her face showed evidences of once having been pret- ty, and before her,marriage, years ago, she Was known as one of the most attractive ycung girls in the neighborhood. A hard and wretchgd married life, and the care of e.ght children have been enough to give her a tired and discouraged look. And her life was anything but pleasant. Now that her husband is dead and she is in a crim- inal’s cell the neighbors, who have known her for years, have nothing but good to say of her, and sittle but ill to say of the dead nan, An Idle, Shiftless Fellow. John Harmon has long been known in the ne‘ghborhood as an idle and shiftless fel- low. From the earliest days of their mar- ried life he has dene little or nothing toward the support of his wife end children. He has compelled them to work in the fields when there was occasion, and they have done more than he toward the support of the household, even the little ones being forced to make their mite by picking ber- ries in the broiling sun. Time and again he has left her. Blows were more frequent than kind words in that wretched farm- house. Little by little the woman's pa- tence became exhausted, and what love she had in her heart for the man of her girlhood’s choice gradually turned to hate. The Harmon home-was not far from the farm on which Mrs. Harmon's mother lived. It has been over a year now since Harmon went away, and his wife told him then that she honed she would never see him again. She took her young ones with her and went to live with her mother, in the hope that she might not soon be troubled by the reappearance of the man who had made her life a burden and a torment. Her hopes were not to be realized, how- ever. Yesterday afternoon the husband came back. He saw Mrs. Harmon sitting by the window on the lower floor of her mother’s house. On account of the: heat the woman was barefooted, and her hair was hanging loosely down her back. Com= ing up to the window, the husband began pleading with the woman to come back and live with him again. This she refused to do, and then he threatened to come in the windcw to her. The woman told him that if he came any nearer she would shoot him, as she wanted nothing more to do with him. She Fired a Single Shot. Harmon would not be: convinced, how- ever, and began to climb in through the window. As he did so the woman again ordered him to keep back, but he would not leave off. Then the nervous and hys- terical woman grabbed up a double-barreled shotgun, and, without pulling it to her shoulder, fired a single shot at the man. He fell back from the sill with a ragged wound in his face, and presumably death followed immediately. Mary Harmon then called out that she had shot her husband, and her cries brought her mother down from above stairs. The frightened children gathered around in a group, and the scene that ensued was a most pitiable one. During the confusion, the woman who had done the shooting started off on a run down the path. Ske hurried directly to the heuse of the nearest justice of the peace, a Mr. Trumbull, and gave herself into custo- dy. Mr. Trumbull had no choice in the matter, although he sympathized heartily with the unfortunate woman, and deputized John Beach, a neighbor, to take her to the county jail. She was held for examination on the charge of murder. : In the jail last evening Mrs. Harmon was reasonably calm and collected. She insisted that she had not intended to kill her hus- band, but had only raised the gun for the purpose of frightening him away. Either as a result of her nervousness or of an ac- cident of some sort the weapon was dis- charged. However, she said, in her opin- ion the man deserved nothing better, far he had been a cruel and worthless husband. At a late hour last evening a brother of the dead man drove up to the scene of he killing and took the body away for the purpose of having it prepared for burial. Buried Today. Harmon was buried this morning at 10 o'clock. No inquest was held over the re- mains. ——_. AN ELECTRIC BANQUET. Brilliant Effects Accomplished by Stu- dents of Electricity. The Bliss School of Electricity, which had its closing exercise last week, cele- brated the event Saturday evening by a banquet at Freund’s, which was unique in {ts details and remarkably appropriate in all its decorations. Upwards of a half hundred young men sat dcwn at the ban- quet table with their instructors and had the jolliest sort of a time. The table was one mass of flowers, which were lit up throughout with tiny electric lamps, while up and down the long expanse ran a min- jature electric car laden with flowers. The decorations were ali the work of the students themselves. The toastmaster was Mr. Luther R. Smith and papers were read by students as follows: Fred. Barbour, “Lights and Flashes;" Thomas Lippincott, “A New Motorman;” C. F, Jenkins, “H. P. Electri- cal and Mechanical;” Thomas W. Robert- son, “Electricity in Patents;” A. E. Dowell, “Reminiscences.” In delivering the diplomas Prof. L. D. Bliss especially mentioned B. O, Salter, who made the highest per cent in exam- imation, and F. C. Duell, who has made the finest wire joints. Following is the list of graduates: H. D. Crocker, F, A. Nerdhzm, P. D. Brooks, E. F. King, J. E. Sutherland, T. J. Leon- ard, B. L. Andrus, M. E. Gilbert, H. M. Emmons, C. Hamilton, H. M. Thatcher, A. M. MeMillan, H. S. Krox, Thomas Armat, E. B. Pratt, R. E. Harvey, J. B. Greenburg, S. C. Jones, R. S. Caldwell, J. H. Lightfoot, J. H. Berry, J.

A memorial service was held last even- ing at 910 Pennsylvaria avenue by the Sons of Jonadab, in honor of the late Henry N. Andrews, formerly sovereign chief of the order. Mr. Edward Mullen of Pionzer Council, presided in his capacity as act- ing sovereign chief. Representatives of the order from the neighboring states were in attendance. Addresses commemorative of the virtu and good works of the late chief of the order were made by Messrs. Edward Mullen of Pioreer, John Ryan of partan, Samuel C. Mills, John H. Mitchell, Joseph D. Steele of Centennial Council; Judge John J. Weed of Pioneer Council; Charles H. Moulton and B. B. Thompson of Spartan Council, A. S. Went of Good Will Council, J. E. Hibbs of Hope Council, and C. B. Allen and J. McLean of Faith Council. A sextet, composed of Thos.. Humphrey, A. M. Williams,, J. W. Loveless, Jos. D. Steele, John H. Mitchell and John 'T. Doyle, rendered some effective vocal music, Reso- lutions expressive of the esteem in which the Jonadabs hold the memory of their late leader were then adopted. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. Bluff at Breaking Pp Rosslyn’s Dis- orderly Crowds. _ The Alexandria county sheriff, with his deputies and constables, made a break yes- terday on a crowd of negro gamblers en- gaged near the tunnel to the west of the old causeway. They fired over the heads of the crowd to disperse them. The shots had the desired effect. The men started up with frightened looks and made for the Aqueduct bridge. ‘They reached it without molestation and rushed pell-mell across it. On the Georgetown side they ran into the arms of the District officers. They were held up and searched, but no conceal- ed weapons or policy paraphernalia being found upon them they were allowed to make their escape a clear one. Of late the Virginia authorities about Rosslyn are making quite a show of breaking up Sun- day lawlessness, at least in the immediate vicinity cf the bridge, but the big dens of iniquity a little to the west remain as un- molested as city drug stores. Yesterday’s patronage was particularly large. Boat load after boat load of men and boys land- ed there to hazard their weekly earnings at the keno board and with shell sharpers. Hard on Horses. ‘The Metropolitan Railroad Company's trip schedules have been changed somewhat for the heated term. The hoi allowed an eight-minute rest at each ter- minus of the line, instead of a two-minute ene, and they are also permitted to go more slowly on the route. The working hours of the drivers and conductors have been cut down some, too. The weather is telling greatly on the horses, though, and numer- ous prostrations are resulting. Notes. Mr. Chas. Dudley was affected by the high temperature yesterday, but not seriously. Mr. James Copperthite, father of H. Cop- perthite, the owner of the Connecticut pie manufactory here, died on Saturday even- ing at 1511 32d street. The remains this morning were shipped to New. Haven, Cenn., the old home of the deceased. Mr. James Copperthite was in his seventy-third year. Mr. Morris Finley of Shelbyville, Ind., brother of Mr. Patrick Finley of this place, is lying dangerously ill at his home. Trinity’s postponed May procession was held yesterday. Over G00 were in line. The fair weather brought forth a great crowd of spectators. Miss Rosa Kerr was queen. The route of the procession was varied this year slightly, 34th street being the principal line of march, Mr. Alfred Hurdle, son of the late Noble Hurdle, died yesterday at 9 o'clock, after a long illness, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Ann Wilson, 1539 32d street. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis of Kingston, N. Y., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. King of “the heights.” —_——.—_—_. AMUSEMENTS. Innes’ Band.—Thursday and Friday after- roons and evenings will be great times*at Convention Hall. Innes and his famous corps of musicians and soloists will appear there in his grand’ spectacles, “War and Peace” and a “Day at the World’s Fair,” and a great event is promised those who attend. His soloists embrace some of the best voices that have been heard here, and his accessories to the production are numerous and complete. The “War and Peace” has been produced here once before, ft scoring a success, and, reinforced by the other attraction, it should be as well pa- tronized as before. Everything to insure the completeness of the two spectacles has been prepared, the artillery accompani- ment, the fireworks display, grand mixed chorus, auxiliary bands, drum and fife corps, and the veterans and soldiers. Lecture at the Colored Y. M. C. A.—“En- terptise and Co-operetion Among Colored Young Men and Women” will be treated in a lecture this evening at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, 1607 and 1609 11th street north- west, by Mrs. Fanny Jackson-Coppin of Fhiladelptia. Mrs. Coppin is a graduate of Oberlin Coliege, and has devoted twenty years to the study of this all-important subject. It is hoped that many of the young men and women of the city will turn out to hear this excellent discourse. A Festival of Song.—There will be a fes- tival of song at the Academy of ' Music Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. The first evening a chorus of 500 voices from the high schools of the city will furnish the music, while on the second evenings a chorus of the same number of voices from the graded schools will partici- pate in the entertainment. All the choruses have been rehearsing for a long period, and they are now trained to a high state of efficiency. Mr. W. L. Tomlins will direct the concerts. The chorus will be assisted by Miss Maude Powell, the eminent vio- linist, and the Apollo Quartet, the well- known organization of this city. Mrs. Ernest Lent will be the accompanist. A most enjoyable program for both evenings has been prepared, and it is thought that the singing of the choruses will equal some of the best societies of the city, Trinity Church Concert.—The vested choir of Trinity Church will give a concert Wed- nesday evening next at Trinity parish hall, corner 3d and C streets northwest. The program will he divided into three parts, the first of which will be rendered by the choir in full vestments, the second by the soloists and members of the choir in part songs, while the third part will consist of old folks’ songs. This choir has rapidly come to the front as one of the musical or- ganizations of the city, and a great deal of interest has been manifested in their com- ing appearance. Mr. Laivrence’s Pupils’ Recital.—The pu- pils of Mr. John Porter Lawrence gave a mest enjoyable piano recital at the Church of Our Father Saturday evening. All the renditions were given In a manner to please even the critical and some of the composi- tions would have taxed the ability of those who had passed the stage of tuition. The best number on the program was the Grieg Concerto, rendered by Miss Grace Hamilton Jones. Her playing showed the result of bard and constant study, and her musical sense was well demonstrated in the bring- ing out of the finer parts. Miss Jessie Kerr played the second and third movements of Beethoven’s Concerto No. 3 in excellent style. Two numbers, a Chopin Etude and Moszkowski’s ‘‘Gondoliera,” were intelli- gently and skillfully rendered by Miss Marie Grice Young, who showed a great advance over her last year’s playing. Miss Rosina B. Marsh gave Godard’s Novellozza; Mr. F. E. Ward, a caprice by Mendelssohn; Miss Barnes, La Lisonjen by Chaminade; Mr. Carl Aw and Mrs. Bryai Mendelssohn's Concerto in G minor; Mrs. Eleanor G. Pres- ton, Liszt’s arrangement of the spinning song, from Wagner's “Flying Dutchman;” Miss Caverly, a Chopin Polonaise; Miss Clements, “Erzahlung am Clavier,” by Scharwenka, and Miss Daisy B. Fox, We- ber's Concertstuck. Prof. Lawrence played cnly accompaniments, but these were given with his usual finish, and his pupils’ work showed what steady training they had been given, and demonstrated their teacher's skill. —_——__ The Golden Cross. At the last meeting of St. John’s Com- mandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, Noble Commander Bela W. Beebe presided. One application for membership was pre- sented, and the second and third degrees were conferred on one candidate. John N. Ehle, W. E. Graham and Dr. S. A. H. Mc- Kim were appointed a committee to mect similar committees from other command- eries to consider the subject of amending the constitution of the Immediate Relief Association. Grand Commander Hallam was present, and stated that the newly. elected supreme commander, A. D. Bangs, would visit Washington during this month, and when the date was obtained would notify the commanderies, with the view of tendering the supreme commander a recep- tion. He also complimented St. John’s Commandery on the appointment of Past Grand Commander Ehle as chairman of the committee on laws of the Supreme Com- mandery, and his own commandery (Capi- tal) on the election of Miss Marguerite Mc- Cutcheon as supreme vice commander. National.Commardery will make a fra- ternal visit to Anacostia Commandery on Wednesday evening of this week, and to Columbia Commandery on the 11th instant. These visitations are made on the invita- tion ef the two lady nobie commanders, Mrs. Mary I. Simonds of Anacostia and Mrs. Anna A. Harvey of Columbia, and both occasicns will be made interesting to all the members of the order. ——_——. The Capitol Corner Stone. The bronze tablet, designed to commem- orate the centennial of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol, which was cele- brated in this city in September, 1893, has been placed in position above the corner stone. It is a massive slab of metal, six feet nine inches high, and four feet six inches wide. Degrees to Be Awarded to Graduates of the Law School.

Domer of the famous National Fencibles marched his Memphis drill team team Saturday evening to the space front- ing the Arlington Hotel and there showed several thousand spectators what the boys can do. Although the heat was intense the company drilled with its characteristic ease and _won rounds after rounds of ap- plause. The exhiition did not equal in all respects the work of thé team on the Mem- phis field, but it was abové criticism and clearly demonstrated’ to those who wit- nessed it that the Fericibles compose an organization as well drilled as any in the country, although they failed to retain the title of champions at the recent in- terstate competition. ee In the Churches Services were held in the new St. Mat- thew’s Cmirch for the first time yesterday, mass being sung by Father Vassetti, with Father Lee as deacon and Father Bart as subdeacon.

Mr. Tomlins followed this lesson by one at the Eastern HighiSchool, and concluded the day’s program withv rehearsals of the great choruses at the Central High School hall.

Allen, Wil-| ~selections for An Interesting Gathering st Church of Our Father, ~ A mass meeting of Good Templars was held last evening at the Church of Our Father, under the auspices of Minnehaha Lodge. The meeting was opened with prayer by Mr. J. C. Blackford, and Scrip- ture reading by Mrs. D. A. Williams of the W. C. T. U. Prof. H. R. Stewart, in a brief address, gave some interesting statistics of the relative strength of the liquor traffic and the opposing elements, showing that the sum of $459,000,000 is annually spent in educational work through the churches, Sunday schools, temperance organizations, ete., while the annual output on the liquor trade is about $1,559,000,000. He thought the churches of the country should unite their 25,000,000 communicants to crush out the drink curse. Rev. Dr. Rogers, the pas- tor of the church, urged that the tempar- ance workers should consolidate. He went on to explain what he regarded as the three great principles by which the best re- sults could be accomplished—first, individ- uality, each one devoting his personal ef- forts to the work; second, organization, which individuality, properly manifested, would surely lead to, and, finally, conse eration to the work of God. There was ev- erything, he thought, in creating a public sentiment. “We shall do nothing,” he con- cluded, “unless we have the grace of God in our hearts.” Mr. R. A. Dinsmore made the closing address, in the form of brief remarks concerning the work of the order he represented. A feature of the meeting was the singing of a quintet composed of Miss Nellie Smith, Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Shontz and Messrs. E. C. Palmer and John G. Smith. The last temperance meeting of the sea- son of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church was held yesterday. Prof. George the Cook, Howard University, called attention to the harm done by alcohol to the physical nature of man. A paper was read by Miss Grace Shinn on “A Shot at the Bottle,” which was descriptive of many temperance experiences. Prayers were offered by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Grimke. The choir of the church, under the direction of Prof. Sam- uels, rendered many selections during the evening. —_—_=___ Horses Burned. Saturday night about 8 o'clock several companies of the fire department responded to an alarm of fire turned in from 17th and G street for the burning of the Arlington livery stable, No. 1724 G street, owned by John H. Olark. There were about forty horses in the stable when the fire started, and all the men employed about the stable directed their efforts toward saving them. They succeeded in rescuing all the ani- mals with the exception of two horses that were in the rear end of the stable, and they were suffocated before assistance could reach them. The fire started in the feed room, and it is thought was caused by spontaneous com- bfistion, as there was no one in the room at the time the flames commenced the work of destruction. When the firemen arrived at the burning stable the flames had gained considerable headway, and it was feared that other property in the neighborhood might suffer, but the good work of the firemen had the effect of con- fining the flames to the stable. The loss is estimated at about $5,000. —_-—— A New. Pastor Installed. The members of thé congregation of the Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church turned out in large numbers yesterday to welcome to the pastorate of the church the Rev. Dr. D. D. Chambers, who, as told in The Star, was assigned to that charge at the annual session of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference. When Rev. Dr. Chambers assumed charge he was sur- rounded by the officialsef the church, who occupied seats within the altar. The wom- en of the church had adorned the pulpit with a collection of flowers. The leader of the choir had arranged special musical the occasion, which were well rendered by the members of the choir, and consisted of songs, anthems and choruses, Dr. Chambers preached morning and evening. In the evening he was as- sisted in the services by Rev. Mr. Payne of Wilmington, N. C. Dr. Chambers spoke of the present indebtedness of the church, saying that he desired during his stay here to wipe it out entirely, and to that end he urged the members_to be liberal in their financial contributions, assuring them that their labors would not be in vain. ‘POWDER Absolutely Pure.
