Late yesterday afternoon after the Court of Appeals had adjourned for the day, a number of opinions were filed in cases argued before the court several weeks ago. In the case of James L. Travers, convicted last March of the murder of Lena Gross near Brightweod last Novemver, the judg- ment of the lower court was sustained. The principal contention of the condemned man was that confession was wrung from him by threats and other induce- ments. The appellate court, however,found that the defendant had been given the benefit of every possible doubt, and that there were no errors committed by the trial Judge of which he-could justly complain. Travers, a_young colored man, was sen- tenced by Judge Cole to be hanged on the 19th of next month, and his only hope now is with the Pre: In dent. the case of Richard H. Fletcher inst the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- y, the judgment of the lower court was also sustained. Fletcher was employed hy the company and was injured hetng struck hy a piece of timber thrown from a train. He sued the company, claim- ing $10,0) damages, but in the court below Judge Bradley directed a verdict for the defendant. The judgment of the lower court was also ed in the case of the Walter T. Brad- Coal, Lime and Cement Company mst the Clark Brothers Lime and Ce- ment Company, brought to recover a judg- ment creditor's bill for $1,159. The defend- ent company contended that their real es- e had been conyeyed to the corporation, and that the property was, therefore, ex- empt from attachment. In the court below Judge Cox decided otherwise, and in that opinion he was sustained by the eppellate court. In the case of Alice Boswell against the District, In which she was awarded dam- ages because of injuries sustained by her in falling over a projecting gas box in the sidewalk, the judgment below was affirm- ed, holding that the District in not remov- ing or having removed the obstruction thereby became responsible. e In the controversy over the estate of the late Allen McLane, in which a ruling of Judge Cox was questioned on the ground that his temporary assignment to the Probate Court was illegal without a revo- cation of the regular assignment by the Court in General Term, the temporary as- signment was held by the appellate court to have been legal, and the rulings of Judge Cox were affirmed. In the case of B, H. Warner against Thos. FE. Young, to collect a note for $220, the judgment of the lower court in favor of Mr. Werner was affirmed. The judement of the lower court in the case of the Eastern Trust and Banking Company of Maine against William G. Johnson and othere was reversed. The question at issue was whether a trust re- corded ih Maine instead of here was prop- erly executed. In the court helow Judge Bradley held that it was not and that the right of possession had passed from the trustee to the purchasers. Thé Court of Appeals holds that while the trust had not been properly executed the right of possession did not pass from the trustee. —— MEDALS PRESENTED. Men Who Have Served Ten Years ax National Rifles, The National Rifles held a full dress meeting at thelr armory last night, at which those entitled to service medals re- ceived tre coveted token of their long term of enlistment. The medals were in the shape of the Iron Cross, and were for a ten-year’s service. Capt. Oyster presented them with a neat little speech, in which he expressed the hope that the company would stand by him in the effort to join the National Guard, and then presented Gen. Albert Ordway, commanding the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard. Gen. Ordway said that he had always wished to see the Rifles a member of the guard, and that he was ready at all times to ex- tend to them a most hearty welcome. It was expected that they would be mustered in -last night, but something unforeseen stopped the proceeding and a meeting has been called for Thursday night to decide the matter definitely. These who received ten-year medals were: Capt. James F. Oysier, Lieuts. J. O. Manson, G. W. Evans, ‘W. P. Boteler, G. H. Shoulters, W. K. E! T. A. Garner, G. A. Bentley, George N. Acker, BE. B.

There was a very beautiful and touch- ing service performed last evening at the funeral of Mrs. Ayer by the ladies of the Relief Corps. After the appropriate and extended remarks by Dr. Green at the Calvary Baptist Church a goodly portion of the audience proceeded to the Congres- sional cemetery, where the interment was made. Arranged around the casket a ritual was read by one of the ladies, texts of Scripture on the brevity of life, and the resurrection of the dead were recited by several ladies in rotation, closing with a prayer, after which each lady deposited a flower upon the mass of flowers already on the casket lid. Their treble voices add- ed interest and solemnity to the scene, which will long be remembered by those in attendance. oo 31.25 Excursion to Baltimore $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The stonemasons who are at work on the foundations of the new buildings at Fort Myer have been suffering extremely from the heat, and on Saturday requested the contractor to provide sheds to shelter them from the sun. A refusal led to several of the masons stopping work and a threat cn the part of the others to adopt a similar course if the shelter was not forthcoming this morning. The sheds were on hand when this week’s work began, and the ex- pected strixe was averted. eae Es The Cattle Market.

Grand Opera House.—Although the aver- age temperature of the Grand Opera House is by actual measurement sixtgen degrees lower than the street temperature, there was no immediate danger there last night of a frost. Still, there was a good audience in attendance, and it enjoyed the perform- ances, more especially that of “My Wife's Mother.” The first play -was “Jack White’s Trial,” a dramatic incident in one scene, presented by Mr. Shirley, Mr. Findlay,Miss Curry and Miss Johnson, and it was no- ticeable, principally, in giving Mr. Findlay an opportunity to appear as a young man, and he did it very well. The real fun be- gan with the next play, “My Wife's Mother,” with Mr. Bond; Mr. Abbe, Mr. Findlay, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Burke, Mrs. Findlay, Miss Curry, Miss James, Miss Johnson and Miss Blanche Walsh, in the cast. Naturally, the interest centered in Miss Walsh, who was making her first ap- pearance in light comedy, as_also her first appearance in the Bond Company. She as- sumed the character of Sibylla, a myster and notwithstanding it seemed to be a stepping down from the more digni- fied characters in which she is known to Washington, her Beauty, her ability and her adaptability easily made her at home in the new role and established her Ss for the part. In other words; Miss Waish has the comprehensive facility of ng, which enables her to take any character more than well. round of applau self at that She was received with a and she maintained her- dard throughout. Mr. Bond, as the victim of his wife's mother, was very good, and Mr, Abbe, as the rather toush young’ man and husband of Sibyla, was at his very best, and had rather the best thing in the whole performance. Mr. Findlay, as the mother-in-law, gave a real- ism to the part that was almost painful to some married people in the audience. Again tonight, and a cooler night is prom- ised by the weather worthies. New National Theater—The N tional Theater attracted a large 2 last night with “An Awful Affair’ as the play, and a company whose uniform abil- ate throughout the cast makes it impos- sible to pick out any one or two persons as being worthy of especial note. The play is conventional in its geueral struc- ture, but it is cleverly put together, none the less, and has plenty of genuine humor in its situations as well as tn its chara ters. The basic icea of the play is one which has been employed by every success- ful writer of comedy—the plunging of a man into an environment to w is socially, intellectually or physically not adapted. This is one of the standard re- sources of the humorist, both in literature and the drama, and it is capable of varia- tons so infinite that there is no danger of its palling on thi Awful Affair” disp des ne company now employed at the New Na- onal Theater presented it with a snap and sparkle that kept faithful admirers who had efled the heat amused from the beginning to the end of the performance. Charles Coote was greatly liked, and Mr. Bowser de a successful first appearance with this organization. ‘The variety of choice which the field of Standard comedy oiers Bives it a distinct advantage ove the operatic entertainments which have hither- to held the lon's share of the summer theater patronage. ‘There are but few operas, and the audiences know them al- Most as well as the singers do—sometinfes better—but the mine of comedy which the dramatic library holds has as yet been scarcely worked beyond the surface crop- pings. One of the greatest pleasures con- Rected with a good production like “An Awful Affair’ is that there are so many more where that came from. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Three shows in one is what the management of Ker- nan’s offers its patrons this week. In the theater a lively burlesque, entitled “The White Crook,” holds the interest of the audience for nearly two hours, giving away to the boxing carnival, which is still in progress. “The White Crook” is amus- ing, and introduces several fine specialties: There the usual quota of pretty, shapely girls and clever comedians. In the boxing atch Jack Daly and Billy, Payne fought a draw. After this the performance was continued in the summer garden. The pro- m contained Lena. Le Courier, Ward and Leslie, Emma Rose Lee, Ellie Willard and Norma Brown, Josie Lore, Sanford and Lee, George Kerr and Pearl Bradbury. In the absence of Manager Kernan, Assistant Manager Meyer Fisher looks after the in- terests of the house, and his already wide popularity serves him well. Torfight the boxing bout will be between Tom Caldwell and Jocke Brown. Miss Alice Judson in opera.—Miss Alice Judson of this city made her debut with the Hinrichs Opera Company in Baltimore last night, si the part of Lola in Mascagni’: valleria Rusticana.” That she made a favorable’ impregsion ts evi- denced from the press notices.

Two grand spectacles will be given, the “War and Peace” and the “Day at the World's Fair,” both of which have been given with the greatest amount of success in other cit- ies, the productions will be given with all the accessories which make everything that Innes does so complete, ard no ex- pense has been spared to make the de- tails of the two coming productions as complete as it is possible to get them. The eight solo artists, which he has with him are said to be the best in the business at the present time. Miss Martha Garrison Miner is the leading soprano, and Mr. C. C. Ferguson, the tenor. the contralto, and Mr Bowman Ralston, the basso, have been heard with success in numerous cities on the presert trip. A Testimonial Benefit—Walter Stetson and C.
