Martha Baggott, a woman with two small children, appeared in Judge Miller’s court yesterday afternoon, and was tried for sell- ing liquor In violation of law. Her hus- band, it was stated, had gone away and left her in charge of the house. Several witnesses gave evidence against her, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty, rec- ommending her to the mercy of the court. Sentence will probably be imposed Satu day.

THEY WILL CELEBRATE Mount Pleasant to Do Honor to the Fire Company. Arrangements for a Parade, Drill and Collation—Other Business Trans- acted Last Night. The people of Mt. Pleasant having .se- cured a completely equipped fire engine company, after having fought for it for so long, they propose to celebrate the event next Saturday, when the new addition to the District fire department will go into ccmmission. This was decided upon at a special meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citi- zens’ Association held last evening, waen it was settled that there should be a parade through the principal streets of the village, a drill by the new company, brief addresses, a reception and collation at the new engine heuse and a general inspection of the house. The Arrangements. In the absence of President J. W. Somer- ville, who was reported to be quite iil, Mr. T. A. Harding presided, and he called upon Mr. C. L. Ricketts, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to make arrangements for the celebration, to state what had been dcre. In the first place, stated Mr. Rick- etts, there would be a parade, starting from the new engine house, 14th street, just aboye Kenesaw avenue, at 6:30, and march- ing up lith street to Howard avenue; thenée to 17th street, to Park street, to Lith street. It was proposed, said Mr. Ricketts, to have the Mt. Pieasant Drum Corps, eighty strong, furnish the music, and the new engine company, the village fire depart- ment, the District Veteran Firemen’s Asso- ciation and the members of the Mt. Pleas- ant Citizens’ Association would participate. The District Commissioners had accepted an invitation to be present, as had Chief Parris and the other officials of the trict fire department, and they would be ip the parade. There would be a drill by the new company, explained Mr. Ricketts, and upon the return of the procession to the new engine house there would be an address of welcome made on part of the people of the village, to which replies would be made by the District Commissioners and other invited guests. For the speakers, a stand would be erected, and then a colla- tion would be served in tMe engine house to the invited guests and to the members of the new company, an informal reception preceding the collation. For the public lemonade and sandwiches would be served from stands just outside the house. The report of Mr. Ricketts was unani- mously adopted, and an appropriation of 25 -was made to cover the necessary ex- penses of the celebration. It was also de- cided to invite the members of the Coluin- bia Heignts Citizens’ Association to par- ticipate in the cetebration. It was proposed that the village association should furnish a flag and pennant for the new company, but Mr. Raby, on behalf of the village fire department, stated that they desired to have that pleasure, and the village fire de- partment will furnish their colleagues with the flag and lettered pennant. Seventeenth Street. The matter of the celebration being dis- posed of, Mr. Courts, frem the commitiee appointed to cee the District Commission- ers in relation to the extension of 17th street to the proposed boulevard, an exten- sion of but seventy feet, stated that the committee's call proved to be a very un- satisfactory one. It was his belief that the Commissioners were determined to adhere to their plan and that it would be useless to endeavor to further persuade them. Other members of the committee expressed similar opinion, and the committee, on the motion of Mr. Sleman, was continued and directed to present a protest with the com- mission to whom the plans for the exten- sion of the streets have been forwarded. Standing Committees. A communication from President Somer- ville was received, announcing the appoint- ment of the following standing committees for the ensuing year: Sewers—E. W. Woodruff, C. L. Ricketts, W. F. Snyder, W. D. Quinter and J. R. ‘Watson. Streets and sidewalks—F, L. Campbell, F. A. Ellis, G. H. Zellers, H. D. Walbridge and T. S. Rogers. Schools—W. L. Cole, A. B. Chatfield, C. R.

Before the adjournment of the association a resolution was adopted, expressing the regret of the associat.on because of Pres- ident Somerville’s illness and the hope that he would speedily recover. ———__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Local. Notes of Interest From Acro: the Creek. The Union Light Pleasure Club has elect- ed the following officers for the ensuing year: G. C. Lee, president; J. Jackson, vice president; H. Cook, sergeant-at-arms; R. Beall, gencral manager; M. Z. Booth, sec- retary; L, White, assistant secretary, and G. Artino, treasurer. Frederick Weaka, a miserably clad and foriorn-looking one-legged fellow, came up to Officer Berryman yesterday and request- ed that he make arrangements to send him to the work house. He was homeless, friendles hungry and sick. His wound was troubling him sorely and he could hob- ble no longer without being overcome. In answer to his request the charge of v rancy was placed opposite the old man’s name on the station blotter. Nancy Harris and Rachel Lockwood, two “human fighting cats,” warranted each other yesterday and both were locked up. ‘Then they assailed each other from their respective celis with “words no Shake- speare wrote.” Whea the strike was on last August in the coal region where the Chesapeake and Ohio canal draws the great bulk of its trade from, P! ent Mayer of the Consol- idation Coal Company, the largest owners of the canal flect,-promised all those who did not strike the equivalent in money of. six months’ house rent and fuel. This month the promise was fulfilled. Over $60,000 were distributed among the men. The tedious work of strengthening the foundation of the four pier is now going on. Careful masons are pulling out the In- secure rocks and putting in new ones at the base. Only one stone is being removed and replaced at a time. ——— RILEY'S RETURN. PROF. Got Back From a Trip to Europe. Prof. C.V. Riley, who resigned his position in the Department of Agriculture a year ago, but retains his position of honorary curator of the department of insects in the National Museum, has returned from a brief trip to Europe. His special purpose was to place the two elder of his daugh- Alice and Mary, in a French school at ly, Paris. In England he visited a number of old friends, among them Sir the retired director of Kew . states, as a rather remarka- ble fact, that, though he has crossed the four times within the year, and hannel a@ number of times, he formly smooth seas, g e weeks in Eng- trip he had no occasion to Prof. Riley has, by means 1 outings, entirely recovered ich was the chief purpose of ‘gnation. ——~.__. Interstate Colored Fair. John M. Langston has been chosen ora- tor for the colored interstate fair, to be held at Conccocheaque Island, September 3 to 9.

Améng the passengers who crossed the Atlantic on the initial trip of the St. Louis were Mr. R. D. Mohun and wife. Mr. Mo- hun, who was so well known and popular among the young people in Washington several years ago as Dorsey Mohun, has gone to fill the position of United States consul at Zanzibar, on the east coust cf Africa. The appointment was a promotion for Mr. Mohun in recognition of his valuable work in the Congo, where he served with signal ability as commercial agent for a considerable time. He ts also thoroughly familiar with the people of Africa and their language. Mr. Mohun’s duties in the Congo required him to visit every possible point of the country and repert on its resources, its prospects for commerce, and its inducements for emigration. Mr. Mohun's report, about 300 pages, will shortly be issued by the State Department and will be of great value to the commer- cial world. During his explorations the Arab war broke out and he volunteered his services to Baron Dhanis. He fought to its close, and for his bravery was decor- ated by King Leopold with the Order of the African Lion, being the only foreigner who has ever been’ so honored. Mr. Mohun, with Capt. Huide, explored mych of the rich unknown region of the Congo, and for this service was made a member of the Royal Geographical Society of Belgium and England. 5 He will find a new field for work, should his official duties permit, in the Island of anzibar, of which there is no good map because there has been no one enterprising enough to furnish material for one. The Island of Pemba, near by, from which the world gets its supply of cloves, also offers an attractive field. its coast has been sur- veyed by the English, but of the interlor we know absolutely nothing. The large rich island of Mafia is also near to Zanzi- bar, and Mr. Mohun’s many friends hope that he will add to the laurels he won on the west coast by exploring and reporting all he finds on what is probably the richest and mos® important portion of the east coast of Africa. ————— TO HAVE HEADQUARTERS HERE. An Order Which Numbers Many Thou- sands of Colored People. There was a large gathering of colored citizens at a meeting held last night under the auspices of the district officers of the Order of True Reformers, at the Israel C. M. E. Church. Mass meetings of the col- cred people are being held under the au- spices of the order at all of the colored churches in-this city. The meeting of last evening was addressed by the Rev. W. W. Brown, the worthy master of the associa- tion, who has been traveling through the country in the interest of the organization. Mr. Brown's particular mission here is to supervise the arrangements which the order 13 making for erecting a large bulld- ing here as the general headquarters of the ‘True Reformers. The society has pur- chased ground on O street northwest, be- tween 12th, Vermont avenue and R street. The organization proposes to erect at an early date, according to Mr. Brown, a commodious building on that square. In this the general officers and managers of the organization will have their head- quarters. The purpose of Mr. Brown and others of the Reformers is to open at an early date a banking business in Washing- ton similar to one already operated in Richmond, Va. The different branches of the order throughout the country are required to de- posit their moneys monthly at the Rich- mond bank. It is thought a bank located in this city will be more accessible to the northern and western states. One work undertaken by the organization is the erection and maintenance of oid folks’ homes. Under the auspices of the order an institution of that character Is proposed to be erected in this city. The plan is to erect such homes in all large cities in which colored people are thickly settied. These homes are to be under the control and management of the grand feuntain of the order. Mr. Brown stated to a Star reporter last night that the organization, which was started in 1881 with less than 100 members, now has a membership of nearly 50,000. He claimed that the order was doing much toward the solution of the so-called negro problem by teaching the negro people in- dustry, economy and virtue. They were, he said, acquiring property and building substantially in many cities of the country. ——_—>—— AMUSEMENTS.

The reputation that the boys have gained during their first year before the public is attested by the number of organizations which have marched to their music that will attend the fete. Corporal Tanner will be present and open the fete with a short address. The following organizations will be present in a body this evening: Encampment No. 69, Encampment No. 111, Union Veteran Le gion, Jno. A. Rawlins Post, No. 1; Kit Carson Post, No. 2; Geo. G.

A delightful reunion of Southern Metho- dists took place last night at Waugh Meth- odist Episcopal Church Nerth, corner of 3d and A streets northeast, which was ten- dered by the trustees of the latter for the purpose, and the occasion wilt long be re- membered by those who were7so fortunate as to be present. Strictly; speaking, the meeting was a continuance.of the sessions of the first annual conyenttom of the Ep- worth League of the Southern Methodist churches in Washington district, and was held at Waugh because Epworth Church, where the convention has been held, was teo small to accommodate the great audi- ence. Rev. J. W. Grubb, president of the con- vention, presided, and after devotional ex- ercises made a very happy address on “De- velopment,” referring to those of the loco- motive, telegraph, telephone, ete., and ap- plying the lesson taught by each to what may be expected of the Epworth League.- The following greeting, adopted by the board of control of the Washington Dis- trict Epworth League, M. E. Church North, to the Epworth Leaguers of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, was read by Mr. Fred. E. Woodward: “The Washington District Epworth League of the Methodist Episcopal Church sends greeting to the Washington District Epworth League of the Methodist Episccpal Church South upon the organization now being perfected; extends to the new district league warm and hearty feelings of fraternity, such as have existed toward Epworth Chapter dur- ing the year or more of its pleasant asso- ciation with the same, and trusts that both district leagues may’ help each other to look up and lift up all for Christ.” Letters of Regret. A letter of regret at inability to attend, cn account of the press of business, from Rev. Dr. S. A. Steele of Nashville, Tenn., was read, as was also a telegram from Rev. A. Coke Smith of Norfolk, Va., who ae promised to be present and make an address, conveying his compulsory declina- tion on account of the sickness of a child. The place of the latter was ably filled by tev. Dr. Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder of Wvashington District’ M. EB. Church North, who made a splendid address on the reasons “Why the Epworth League Was Organized; the Work Accomplished by It and the Outlook for the Future.” ; leqhe Singing was congregational, and was led by the Veaerable presiding elder, Rev. umsey Smithson of Virginia, with Mr Isdell of Waugh Church as organist. ‘ ae $1.25 Excursion to Baltimore via $1.25 recut cnneyivanin Railroad. cursion tickets to Baltimore Saturd June 22, and Sunday, June 23 ae Ing until June 24, at $Las—aaeees Tete RATHER DIE THAN LIVE, BODY ENTIRELY BROKEN OUT IN ONE MASS OF SORES.
