A SUBURBAN ORGANIZATION Citizens Unite to Promote Their Public ~ Interests, A Report Made by the Langdon Com- mittee Concerning Railroad Rates and Distances, At a largely attended meeting of the Langdon Citizens’ Assocfation last night in Langdon Hall several new members were received from Winthrop Heights, Av- alon and East Langdon. Mr. John W. Watson presided and Mr. Henry S. Sutton acted as secretary. Mr. Thomas F. Collins, from the commit- tee on organization and constitution, pre- sented a report, which, after discussion and Several amendments, was adopted by the association. In order that the movement may be made to embrace all that quarter of the District outside the boundary the name was changed, and the association will hereafter be known as the Northeastern Suburban Citizens’ Association. It will meet Monday evenings in the Langdon Hall. Committees on street improvements, transportation, gas and water, legisiation and education were provided for, and the president made the following appointments: Committee on street improvements—John W. Watson, Dr. L. C. Loomis, Wilton Har- vey and A. E. M. Lawson; transportation. A. M. Dewey, I. J. Baker and E. P. Sher- man; gas and water—Thomas F. Collins, J. G. Durfey and B. F. Edwards; education— F. W. Brandish, Dr. Thomas H. Sherwood and Taylor Grimes. Railroad Rates. The question of discrimination against the stations along the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was brought before the meeting in a report from the committee on transportation, appointed one week ago. This report sald: < “Your commitiee, to which was referred the question of alleged discrimination against Langdon in the matter of distance schedule and commutation rates for trans- portation by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company, hereby submit the following report: “First, distance.—We find upon investiga- tion that there is ample evidence to prove beyond questicn of doubt that the distance table in use on the schedules of the Wash- ington branch of the rozd is a false one, and as used is a constant injury to all pa- trons of the road, and especially to the di advantage of all residents of villages wi in ten miles of Washington. The distance from the center of the platform at Lang- don station to the bumpers in the station at Washington has been accurately meas- ured, and is shown to be fourteen feet less than three miles, while the schedule in use by the company claims the distance to be four and one-tenth miles, the charges for transportation being based upon this false schedule. We also find that the first mile stone or post out of Washington is located at a point considerably less than ene mile from the station, at 6th street northeast, and is marked ‘Washington, 2 miles; Baltimore, 38 miles.’ We also learn that the government pays for but thirty- eight miles of distance between Baltimore and Washington in the transportation of troops and mails. This seems to your com- mittee conclusive proof that the schedule in use by the railroad company is an er- roneous one. “Second, discrimination in rates.—Your committee finds that the railroad company does discrimirate against points on the Washington branch in the matter of com- mutation rates. Brookland, on the Metro- pclitan branch,an equal or greater distance from Washington than Langdon, and both stations within the District ef Columbia, enjoys a rate on commutation tickets 20 per cent lower than the latter station, the discrimination evidently growing out of the use of the erroneous distance table. This discrimination we believe to be a clear violation of the provisions of the interstate commerce law, a copy of which is here- with sexbmitted. ‘ “In view of the above facts your commitee respectfully recommends that the president and secretary of this association be author- ized and instructed tc prepare and forward to the officials of the Laltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at Baltimore a com- munication setting forth the above men- tioned facts, and respectfully insist, in the name and on behalf of this association, that 5s discrimination shall cease at once. “We also further recommend that, in the event of a refusal or neglect on the part of the railroad officials to remedy the evil compiained of, the president and secre- tary of this association be authorized to enter formal charges for discrinmination against the said Baitimore and Ohio Rail- road Company before the interstate com- merce commission at Washington.” The réport was signed by A. M. Dewey, chairman; A. E. M. Lawson, secretary, and J. G. Durfey, committee. Complaints of Other Communities. Dr. L. C. Loomis of Winthrop Heights called attention to the fact that the rate on commutation tickets from Washington to Ivy City and Winthrop Heights showed a still greater discrimination than at Lang- don, as the rate to Winthrop Heights was the same as at Langdon, and at Ivy City it was but 10 cents less per quarter, while the distance traveled was in one instance a full mile less than to Langdon. Mr. J. G. Durfey, one of the committee that surveyed the road from Langdon to Washington in the interest of the com- muters, produced his records of measure- ments to show that the exact distance was fourteen feet less than three miles, as stat- ed tn the report of the committee. After discussion the report was accepted and the recommendations of the committee were adopted by the association. Street Extensions, President Watson, from the committee appointed last week to visit the District Commissioners and ask that they with- hold approval of the Olmstead plat for streets in this section until the association ceuld be heard concerning the same, re- ported that an inspection of the map on exhibition at the District building showed that in the proposed plan of street exten- sion W and 22d streets end New York ave- nue all met just south of the railroad tracks in Winthrop Heights. At the inter- section of these streets there is now a beautiful grove of oak and hickory trees, ccvering a space of about eight acres in extent, and it was resolved by the associa- tion to urge upon the authorities the im- portance of reserving this space and pre- serving these trees for a public park, as it would require several generations of time to cultivate as good a one should the effort be made. A committee, composed of Dr. Lafayette C. Loomis of Winthrop Heights, Grant W. Sexton of Avalon, Ira J. Baker of Langdon and A. M. Dewey, was ap- pointed to wait upon the Commissioners and present the claims of this section to the consideration asked. A petition was recently submitted to the Commissioners asking that the $500 set aside in the last annual budget for the purpose of providing gravel for the streets of Langdon be made immediately avyail- able for the much-needed improvement. No gravel appearing thus far the commit- tee on street improvements was instructed to call at the District building and ascer- tain the whys and wherefores of tho de- lay. ———>_-—__ THE DREAM OF LOVE. So Far as Joseph Hawkins is Cencern- ed It is Ruthlessly Dissipated. When Joseph Hawkins was married eight years ago he was sixteen years old, and today Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins were in the Police Court to tell their tale of woe and explain to the court how marriage with them has been a failure. Last Deco- ration day they separated after having had many quarrels, and the young man, who is employed in a dairy, called to see his wife last Thursday, and she greeted him with an ice pick. He wanted to obliterate the past and make another effort to live tegether, but Mrs. Hawkins informed him that she could get along without him and his room was more desirable than his presence. But he did not want to leave her and did not do so until Policeman Aul- dridge appeared in response to her call and the young husband took his advice and de- parted. He has not been to see her since, but today she had him in court for threats. Judge Miller heard their stories and took the husband’s personal bonds to keep the peace. —— Important Sale of Property.

Grand Opera House.—Perhaps it was “a fantasy in one act,” with the charming Miss Blanche Walsh as the fantasy, that drew the unusually large summer night audience tp.the Grang Opera House last night, and perhaps it wasn’t. In any event, those who saw her arrayed in thg graceful habiliments of the traditional Romeo, fitting what they never fitted to with fascinating perfection, knew why they were there and were satisfied. And a charming Romeo Miss Walsh makes. So fatr, in fact, that every man would be a Jullet if he could. The opening play was Romeo, fitting what they never fitted to act, by A. E. Lancaster, and in the cast were Miss Walsh (Romeo), Mr. Shirley, Mr. Boag, Miss Curry and Miss Johnson. ‘The dialogue is Shakespearian and the play is out of the ordinary, but the cast was equal to all its requirements and present- ed it admirably. It was followed by the three-act comedy “My Awful Dad,” one of the best things Mr. Bond does, and in which he is well known to Washington summer audiences. Most of the cast was new from last season, and Miss Walsh es the attractive widow, Mrs. Wedagain, was a leading feature in the performance. In the cast were Mr. Bond, Mr. Abbe, Mr. Findlay, Mr. Shirley, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Walter, Mr. Burke, Miss Walsh, Mrs. Find- lay, Miss James, Miss Curry, Miss John- son and Miss Moore, almost the full strength of the company. That the play was done in a manner most satisfactory to the large audience was attested by the enthusiastic and frequent applause. New Natioral Theater.—By nine o'clock last right there was almost a full house at the Naticral to see the remaining three acts of Byron’s four-ect serio-comedy, “Married in Haste,” which, being inter- preted, means that people ought to get to the theater in time for the play. This “Married in Haste” is less of the comedy than the usual summer selection, but there is scarcely a situation into which a laugh does not find its way, and the general re- sult is more pleasing than when most feel amused continuously. The two young peo- ple who have married in haste are Augus- tus Vere (Mr, Mackay), an artist, and Ethel Grairger (Miss Lawrence), the hand- scme daughter of a parvenu couple of wealth. Their trials are many, and Miss Lawrence interprets the miseries of the young wife with force and feeling, but it ends happily, and the curtain leaves the audience in a very pleasant frame of mind. An unusually strong and harmonious old lady and old gentleman were Mr. Hudson and Mrs. Pitt as Mr. and Mrs. Grainger. The two top characters in the list, how- ever, were Percy Pendragon, an eccentric old man, done by Mr. Coote with what might be called “surprising excellence” were Mr. Coote’s versatility not so well known, and Gibson Green, a blase bachelor swell of Lordon, done by Mr. Bowser with @ nearness to nature that was perfect art. Neither Mr. Coote nor Mr. Bowser has done a better part than either of those of last night, and Mr. Coote’s make-up was enough to hide his identity from his best friend. In subordinate parts, done as con- scientiously as if in the Jead, were Mr. Wheelock, Mr. Winter, Mr. Brooke, Mr. Gideon, Miss Stevens and Miss Didhen. Pretty little Miss Sanders watched the play from a seat in the crchestra. In all particulars the play was a success. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The third week of the boxing carnival at Kernan’s opened last night. Manager Fisher ‘s so pleased with the success of the carnival that he has taken off the specialties and made up a program of boxing bouts. Last night the sport was exciting. Jackson, a black weight of Washington, knocked out Pocahontas of Baltimore. John Ball of Newark bested Banks of this city in eight rounds, and Howard Wilson of this city had an easy thing of it with Paul Doane of Philadelphia. A Lawn Party.—A lawn fete will be given this evening on the grounds surrounding St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, Sth street, between F and G streets northeast, at 8 o’clock. The lawn party is for the beneiit of the church, and 4s numerous attrac- tions have been provided, a very pleasant occasion is looked forward to by those who have the aifair in charge. . EXCURSIONS. Tomorrow will be the second Wednesday at beautiful River View, and as the day is one of the most popular of the week at this resort, a large attendance is always assured. Arth’s tine band will furnish the concert and dancing music all day and evening. The Pentz will leave at 9:45 a.m., 1:45 and 6:45 p.m. The last trip continues to Indian Head, stoppirg at River View both ways. The annual excursion of the Sunday schools of Epiphany Church will be given to River View on Wednesday, June 26. The exclusive use of the grounds at this resort has been secured by the schools and a varied program will be presented, including a game of base ball between a nine composed of boys of the Mission Sun- day school and one of Epiphany Sunday school. Numerous attractions will be found here, and Arth’s fine band will render choice musical selections all day. The annual excursion of the Wimodaugh- sis to Marshall Hall took place yesterday, a large number of members and friends of the Wimodaughsis participating in the event. The palace steamer Chas. Macales- ter, bearing the excursionists, dispatched from her wharf at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., and a good time was enjoyed by all who went down on this event. It is cus- tomary for this organization to give an ex- cursion to its members and friends, and all who participate in them are well repaid. Prof. Schroeder’s band was in attendance during the afternoon and evening. An ex- cellent program had been arranged for the occasion and dancing was kept up in the Pavilions till a late hour. oe ee WHITE MAN, COLORED WOMAN. The Latest and Worst Case Brought Under the Edmunds Act. Witnesses were exumined in the district attorney’s office yesterday afterncon in one case in which complaint had teen made of an alleged violation of the Edmunds law by government clerks, but the testimony was not sufficient, and no warrant will be issued in this case. Policeman Maddox of the third precinct, however, got evidence in the case of a white man and colored woman, and early this morning he served on them a warrant charging them with violating the law. The man is Thomas Mc- Stell, forty-five years old, and the woman is Mary Levy, several years his junior. Four months ago the man rented a base- ment room at 1126 i8th street, and ten days later, it is alleged, the colored widow, whcse husband had only been dead a few weeks, followed. McStell’s wife and chil- dren, it is alleged, lived on Grant avenue at that time, but they have since moved to Florida avenue. MeStell is a painter by trade, and is a hard- working man. When complaint of his al- leged misc juct was made the police were yery much surprised, but after making an investigation Policeman Maddox swore out the warrant, and the case came up today. The warrant was served about 4 o'clock this morning, and McStell and the colored widow were found in the room. As the man is married, he was charged with adultery, and the court held him for the grand jury. He was committed in de- fault ef bond. The colored widow was released on her personal bonds. —__. The Oldest Nun Now Dying. Sister M. Ellen West, for a long time a resident of this city in the early years of its history, is reported to be dying at the Ccrvent of the Oblates of Providence, Bal- timore, at the advanced age of ninety-five years. She is the oldest professed sister of any religious ofder in this country, hav- ing celebrated her golden jubilee in May, 1$s8. She is one of the few persons row tiving who were eye witnesses cf the par- tial destruction of the public buildings here by the British in 1814, and her rem- iniscences of Washington in its early days were especially interesting. Sister West kas been a member of the Order of Oblate Sisters since 1838. —— A Good Templars’ Entertainment. An entertainment consisting of musical and literary numbers was given at Me- chanics’ Halli, corner of 4% and G streets southwest, last evering, by the members of Rescue Lodge, No, 5, I. O. G. T., at which a large number of friends were in attend- ance. Those who contributed to the pro- gram were the Del Ray Hrothers of the Burnt Cork Club, Misses Vena Callan, Mary Webster and Nellie Ports, John L. Reh and Percy I. Lowd, in a character sketch, and Messrs. J. Kelly, Howard E, Griffith, Prof. N. E. Vowles, S. D. Drain, D. R. Thomas, Prof. W. S. McCullum and Prof. A. L. Ogle. At the close of the en- tertainment refreshments were served, MRS. BURROUGHS’ ANSWER She Files Counter Charges to Her Husband's Suit fer Divoros. Allegations That He Tried to Get a Young Girl to Elope With Him and That He Was Brutal. The troubles of James E. Burroughs and his wife, Ada I. Burroughs, and, inciden- tally, those of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. G. Hoover, were given another airing today, when Mrs. Burroughs filed her answer to the suit for divorce, filed against her a few days ago. In his application for divorce Mr, Burroughs charged his wife with infi- delity in connection with Mr. Hoover, and Mrs. Hoover, praying for a divorce, ac- eused her husband with committing adul- tery with Mrs. Burroughs. In her answer, Mrs. Burroughs not only wholly denies being unfaithful, but she also charges her husband with cruelty and mis- conduct. She charges that last January her husband endeavored to persuade Miss Lyda Crawford, a girl of eighteen years of age, to elope with him; that he made sim- ilar proposals to the girl several times pre- vious to January 1, 1895, and that when the last improper proposition was made to her the said Lyda Crawford, she, the said Lyda Crawford, told the complainant (Bur- roughs) that if he did not desist from his improper conduct she would complain to his wife or have him punished therefor. Brutal Treatment Charged. Mrs. Burroughs says, further, that for the last three years her husband has been an unkind and cruel husband, brutally as- saulting her upon five different occasions, staying away from her almost every night until 12 o'clock and later, and sometimes remaining out all night. During the last three years, she charges, her husband “has ime and again committed adultery in said city and District, with different women, whose names are now to petitioner un- known.” Mr. Burroughs, she says, makes $2.80 a day, but she declares that he has never contributed properly toward her support, and she charges and believes that he has wasted and spent his money upon other women, their names being now unknown to her. On the 27th of last January, she asserts, her husband erased the name of Mr. Grogan from furniture purchased from Mr. Grogan, but for which her husband had not paid, and sold the same. The pro- ceeds, she states, her husband used entirely upon himself, leaving the city, and leaving her with only 4 cents in her pocket with which to support herself. A Plot Alleged. Mrs. Burroughs declares that the connec- tion of her name with that of Mr. Hoover was an uncalled-for scandal, and “was the result of @ carefully laid plan between the wife of the said Thos. G. Hoover, of pri- vate detectives and of the said complain- ant (Burroughs) for the purpose of en- abling the said Mary L. Hoover and the said complainant to obtain a divorce, and that said scandal was without cause or foundation other than as above men- ticned.”” Mrs. Burroughs therefcre'prays that her husband's petition for dtvurce be dismissed and that he be compelléd’ to pay her ali- mony and counsel fees. ——— FELL IN A SEWER. Police Called Upon té Rescue a Badly Frightened Horse. A horse and cart fell in the big sewer in the rear of the government printing office yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, and the police were called upen to assist in rescuing the team. The horse was below the surface, and afte? the workmen did some digging to enlarge the sewer opening a derrick was rigged amd the animal lifted out. The horse was more frightened than hurt and was able to pull the cart away without even limping. —_o—— JOSEPH BUPLER’S SISTER. She Gets Him a Fine of Ten Dollars in the Police Court. “What did this man do?” asked Judge Kimball this morning of a colored woman named Harriet Butler, when she appeared against Joseph Butler, who had beén ar- rested for disorderly conduct. “He called me out of my name,” she an- swered, “and threw water in my face.” “What relation is he to you?” . “He's my brother, and all I want done with him is to have him bound over to keep the peace.” “What's the trouble between you?” “My brother was shooting crap Sunday, and when I told him to stop he abused me.” Joseph denied that he was shooting crap aud said he was only playing seven-up. Some other boys were shooting crap and bis sister got mad about it. He was fined $10 or thirty days. os A Partnership Dissolved. Judge Cox has dissolved the partnership heretofore existing between Howard F. Johnson and Samuel H. Agnew, and has appointed Joseph W. Wheatley to wind up the affairs of the partnership.
