Same Her Body Found. ‘The body of Efnma Jtnes, the young col- ored girl who was Growned at Glymont last Friday night, as published in Satur- day's Star, was fecoveted yesterday by the members of the crew of the police bout Joe Blackburn and prought here. The magis- trate at Glymopt declined to hold an in- quest, being under the impression that such inquiry should Re held here for the reason that the girl belonged here, and was down the river gnly as an excursionist for a day. When the boat reached here the body of the yoman was removed to the morgue and the deputy coroner notified. Relatives of the “ead girl were notified, and they were anxious to have an investigation because of statements about the condition ef affairs on the wharf when the fatal ac- cident happened, but all the deputy coroner could do was to give a certificate of acci- dental death. The body was found some distance below Glymont. ———__ Hope and Help Mission. A meeting of the board of managers of the Hcpe and Help Mission was held in the library of Hotel La Fetra last even- ing. The president, Mrs. S, D, La Fetra, presided. The treasurer, Mr. Thos. Jarvis, offered prayer. Ways and means for the advancement of the mission and its finan- cial interests were discussed at length. It was decided to increase the membership of the board from representatives of vari- ous churches. The mission is now in its ninth year. In that time its door has been open, night and day, to any homeless woman who ask- ed to enter. More than 400 women and girls have been sheltered in this home during these years. The work has been quiet and unobtrusive, but the results have been gratifying. AT OLD GEORGETOWN Commencement Exercises Held at the College Today. MANY AWARDS OF MERIT MADE Long List of Prizes and Those Who Got Them. SOME DISTINGUISHED GUESTS Phe school session of 1894-95 at George- town College closed this morning with ex- ercises of much excellence. A large and distinguished crowd wes in attendance. A feature of the day, incidental to the regu- lar program, was the unveiling of a por- trait of Archbishop Carroll in full church- ly robes. The portrait is a gift of Dr. Ord of Washington, who is an alumnus of the college, and is the work of the cele- brated painter, Stuart. Bishop Van de Vyver of Richmond officiated at the un- velling. Archbishop Carroll was the first bishop of the United States, and the founder of Georgetown College. He founded also St. Mary’s and Baltimore colleges, the first in 1791, and the second in 1804. Georgetown sprang into existence in 1788, and rapidly became known far and wide as an excellent institution of learning. Bishop Carroll was born at Marlboro’, Md., in 1735. He was ordained a priest in 1769, and soon afterward joined the Order of the Jesuits. He traveled through Eu- Tope as private tutor to young Lord Staunton for seme years, and in 1773 be- came professor in the college at Bruges. He was appointed the papal vicar general for the United States in 1786, and fixed upon Baltimore as his place of residence. Liberal in his views, he was estecmed and honored by all sects. The portrait unvell- ed today has long been coveted by George- town College, and it is therefore doubly appreciated. Outerbridge Horsey, jr., and Chas. Hor- sey, his brother, both students at George- town, are children of a direct descendant of Archbishop Carroll on their mother’s side. She was a Miss Carroll. Tne Car- roll portrait was purchased from Mrs George R. Goldsborough of Easton, Md. Exereixes Applauded. The orations, class poem and valedictory today were efforts of high quality and were made particularly effective through elo- quent delivery. The applause which greet- ed them was frequent and Hearty. During the year the alumni of the university com- pleted Gaston, Hall. Marked improvements and additions have been made. The stage has been fitted with all conveniences for lighting, &c., the temporary gallery has given way to a handsome overhead struct- ure and stationery theater chairs have tak- en the place of the old movable benches.

The usual closing exercises of the pre- paratory department of the college were dispensed with this year. It -is the inten- tion of the college heads, at some future day, to bring the preparatory department home—that is, within the boundaries of the mother grounds. It is yaguely thought that the site selected will be close to the present college observatory. Though the project is but at present in its infancy, it is said that proper specie nourishment would cause it to quickly materialize into very visible proportions. ——.—__ To Freeze Out Small Stockholders. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The invective tirades against the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home railway which have appeared in your paper of late may have an effect different from that which they apparently purport. They may have the ef- fect of doing precisely what the very wealthy corporation of individuals who own a controjling interest in this road want you to do, namely, of causing them to appear as martyrs to newspaper and public persecu- tion; whereby, when the road finally be- comes bankrupt, they will share the abuse, which thy are now receiving, with the small stockholders of the minority; and the latter will receive less atteation and syim- pathy when they are “frozen out” to satis- fy the propensities of these gentlemen. A group of capitalists who control so much wealth and operate so many similar fran- chises throughout the country as they have too much intelligence, too much business acumen, not to have foreseen this dilemma and to have made preparation for it, if they had wanted to. It is very apparent that the present con- tion of the road is not the result of ac- cident or mismanagement—there is too much foresight at the fountain head for that; time will determine whether their “hindsight” is equally clever. A, STOCKHOLDER, E. and S. H. Ry. —— Wandering Willie Held. - Detective George Boyd had two cases in the Police Court today, his prisoners being young men known as Thomas Fearson, alias “Ox,” and Stephen Jennings, alias Kenny, alias “Wandering Willie.” The of- ficer told the court that the men were sus- picious persons. One of them, Fearson, he said, was implicated in the robbery of an old soldier here two months ago, and he went away. Two or three days ago he re- turned, and yesterday he arrested him. “Do you want me to hold him until you ‘can get the soldier?” the court asked. answered the officer, h ier has gone away.” “Wandering Willie,” he said, has the rep- utation of being too intimate with other People’s bicyles.

People Prostrated by It Have Cool Bodies and Moist Skin. ‘That a marked coolness of the body ehould be a recognized sign of hcat exhaustion seems like non- sense, but is really sober, sclentifie fact. People who work in overheated rooms on hot days, whether their brains or muscles aro occupied, suffer from headache, prostration and nervous collapse. ‘The temperature of the body, which should be 98 and © fraction, sinks to 96 or 95 and the skin is cool, pale and moist.

Preparations have about been completed in the House of Representatives for one of the most important innovations that has ever been introduced in the conduct of that body. Electric wires have been run from each desk to the waiting rooms on the ends of the chamber. The desks will each be supplied with a push button and an indi- cator in the waiting room will show where @ page is needed. No More Hand Clapping. The habit of clapping hands for pages will, through this method, be relegated to the past, although it will still be pursued in the Senate. It is thought that the sys- tem will give much greater convenience than did the old method, which resulted in having a couple of dozen pages crowded about the Speaker's desk. The House of Representatives being of such large dimen- siens, it was frequently very difficult on oc- casions of excitement for a member to se- cure a page promptly. The new system will place the boys in a far less interesting position in the House, as they will be ex- pected to remain in the waiting recom about as District messerger toys do at the cen- tral office, going in te the House only in re- sponse to call. The republican and demo- cratic sides of the House will have sep- arate indicators. At the last session of Congress $2,000 was appropriated to put into operation this new system. May Vote by Electricity. It may be that this innovation will prove a forerunner of further changes in the method of conducting the business of the House. A plan has been proposed to facil- {tate business in the matter of voting. This plan contemplates having electric wires from the members’ desks to a large indicator located where it may be seen easily, so that when the yeas and nays are called the vote may be taken by pressing buttons. In this way members may show whether they are paired or whether they vote in the affirmative or negative. This would do away with the necessity of a roll call and would accomplish in a few seconds what it now takes from twenty minutes to half an hour to effect. There were quite a number of members in the last Congress who would have voted favorably on a prop- osition to introduce this new method of determining the sentiment of the House on pending questions. If the new electric sys- tem for calling page boys works well it will be an argument in favor of a further use of electricity in the conduct of the business of the House. es TRIAL OF DETECTIVE PROCTOR. Rumors of Some Sweeping Changes in the Corps. Detéctive Proctor’s trial was begun at police headquarters this afternoon, and al- though the records show that only a few witnesses have been summoned before the board, it is thought pessible that as the inquiry progresses some additional wit- nesses will be sent for to cover points brought out in the testimony. The hearing is more in the nature of a court of inquiry than it is a trial, for the trial board will not have the final disposition of the case. ‘The board, or trial committee, as it is call- ed, is composed of Capt. Austin, chairman, and Lieuts. Swindells and Heffner, who are regular members of the committee at present. The witnesses summoned are In- spector Hollinberger, Detectives Gallaher and Rhodes, Prosecuting Attorney Mul- lowny, Mr. W. H. Main, in whose house the arrest of Mr. Maxwell and Miss Fynan was made; the colored chambermaid in the house, and Reporter Johnson of the Post, who was at the house when the arrests were made. Commissioner Truesdell, who has charge of police matters, ordered the hearIng, and by his direction Prosecuting Attorney Pugh appeared as counsel for the prosecution, while Detective Procior appeared as his own counsel, and examined the witnesses. By order of Commissioner Truesdell the star chamber proceedings were held, and the charge against the oflicer was also kept in the dark, except the bare state- ment that a violation of paragraph 9 of the manual, which is “conduct unbecoming an officer,"" was charged. While this is all the information Com- missioner Truesdell is willing to give, it is known that the specifications embody a large part of the report required of De- tective Proctor soon after the arrest under the Edmunds law was made. In this con- nection friends of the accused officer con- demn in severest terms the fact that the officer was compelled to give evidence against himself when he did not know that there was to be a trial. The speciijca- tions, in short, charged that the officer did not use proper discretion and that he went too much out of his way to make an arrest for a misdemeanor. As already stated, the report made by the. officer is set out in large part in the specifications. In connection with this case there is a revival of rumors about prospective changes in the detective corps. One rumor is that two or more of the men are to be reduced and the places filled with men from the ranks. So far as the disposition ~ of the Prector case Is concerned, nothing definite is known, but the officers are sat- isfied that the Commissioners have virtual- ly passed upon the matter, and it is only a question of a few days before the result will be made know a Glenwood Cemetery Satisfied. In the case of the Glenwood cemetery against the District Comimssioners, in which the cemetery sought to have the Commissioners restrained and enjoined from extendiag the streets and avenues of the city through the cemetery grounds, the suit was today, upon the motion of Mr, Wm. F. Mattingly, representing the ceme- tery, dismissed by’ Judge Cox. This action was taken because the Commissioners, in answering the bill of complaint filed by the cemetery, expressly disclaimed any inten- tion of | extending streets or avenues through the cemetery grounds. — Wasting Potomac Water, Henry Rosenau, janitor of the Adas Israel Synagogue, corner of 6th and G streets, was in Judge Kimball's court this morning for wasting Potomac water.
