In the announcement of the purchase of the majority of the stock of the Washing- ton Jockey Club by Mr. August Belmont The Star in describing the plans which would be followed regarding racing at the Benning track conveyed the unintentional Impression that an organization had al- ready been formed, and that Mr. John R. McLean, Mr. C. C. Glover and Mr. Jesse Brown would be among the governors. No association has yet been determined upen, and consequently the gentlemen named could not have been already made governors, What was intended by The Star's informant in the matter was to describe the sort and character of the men who would see that racing at Ben- ning in the future would be as clean and honest as it is possible to guarantee the sport, and Glover, McLean we: tas rep: of the class of men who would be pls in control of ft. Dircussing the Possibilities. The news cf the intention of real sports- men to conduct real horse racing near Washington has been received with general ard genuine pleasure by the many persons who once enjoyed genuine speed contests in this vicinity. Horsemon, too, welcome the announcement heartily.

Howard, who has been District weigher for two years past, died suddenly yesterday afternoon. He was taken v ill In the street, and was car- ried to his home, 206 6th street northeast, where he died In about five minutes, hav- ihg spoken only once or twice after being atricken. He wds a native of this city and unusually popular. He seemed to be in the best of health, and his death fs a great shock to his family and friends. He leaves a widow and five children.

About 4:30 o'clock this morning the dead body of an unknown white man was found lying about 150 yards east of the Pennsyl- vania avenue bridge, and between Ana- costia and Benning, on the B, and P. rail- read. It {is thought that the man was a tramp and that he was struck and instant- ly killed by an east-bound train during the night.

The street lamps had been extinguished at 2 o'clock, one hour before the colored man made so desperate an attempt to commit a double crime, on suspicion that the moon would furnish light enough for pedestrians to. make their way along the streets, and also render the police assistance in the way of seeing any suspicious persons. But the moon failed to shine, and the city was in total darkness, rendering it an easy task for a burglar or murderer to have escaped without much trouble. Policeman English of Lieut. Boyle's pre- cinect and Spectal Officer Owen Starling were the men who frustrated the man’s plans, and the officer fired four shots at him, ‘while the special officer made every effort to capture the fugitive. The officers came along YIst street about the hour mentioned, and their attention was attracted to the yard in rear of the drug store. They stopped and lstened for a few secon‘s, and the noise made by the burglar endeavoring to smash open the cash register continued. The officers started toward the yard, and they got a good look at the man, who was operating with the assistance of a con- federate. Feeling reasonably certain that they could capture the man the officers started for him, but before they reached him he became aware of their presence and started to run. There was only one wiy for him to escape, and that through the store, An entrance had been effected by cutting a pane of glass from the rear window, the burglar had not taken the p to unlock the front door. But the no other channel of escape from the yar¢ If he west in there he would get cornered, and would have to kill his pursuers before he could escape, but this chance was the only one, so far as he could discover, and ving the unopened cash register in the ard he darted through the window into the store. There was no light in the room, and so the officers could not see him if he stopped to hide. But he did not stop to hide behind one of the counters from where he could have used his pistol on his pursuers. Instead of doing this he continued through the store and went headlong through the front win- dow, taking with him a pane of glass not more than twenty inches square. Having reached the sidewalk, the burglar felt comparatively safe once more, and left the officers some distance behind him when he started down G street, When the ofli- cers reached the sidewalk they got a glimpse of the fleeing burglar, and, after pursuing him a short distance, Officer Eng- lish drew 1 volver and fired. that the burglar drew his urned the fire. Two bullets were sent in the direction of 13, while four bullets from the officer's pistol ‘were sent down the street toward the colored man. While this ineffectual firing was being done the special officer gained a little on the colored man. but when the firing ceased the fugitly the two guarc acade a fresh start. a behind him were the officers, and kept him in view until the corner of Isth and H streets was reached, and then the man escaped in the darkne: So far as the could judge, the burglar is a brown-skin man, about five feet four inches tall, and was neatly dressed.

The famous Salvation Army tenor, Theodore Bjorksten of New York cit Mr. is coming to assist Adjutant Isabel Wood and her staff in the meetings at Salvation Army Hall, Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Bjorksten fs the son of a Swedish noble- man, and his remarkable voice was finely cultivated, so that he sang with success in concert and opera with Christine Nilsson during much of his public careér. He left the stage when Nilsson did, and settling in New York, established a fashionable mu- sic class In connection with other musical work. Several years ago he went, out of curiosity, to the Salvation Army meeting in 14th street, in New York city, where the new Memorial Headquarters building now stands, which was then in charge of Adju- tant Isabel Wood, who is now at the head of the work In Washington; and was there converted. As he was of good social posi- tion, and not outwardly like the average convert of the Salvation Army, this cre- ated a decided sensation afd induced some persecution on the part of relatives and friends. Mr. BJorksten was not in a_post- tlon to become a field officer in the Salva- tion Army, but he joined one of the local corps In New York city as a soldier, and is now its color sergeant, always appear- ing at the meetings in full Salvation Army uniform. He is an enthusiastic Salvation- ist, singing, speaking and composing mu- sic for the army, and giving it ell the time he can take from his profession. His voice fs sul strong and he delights his audi- ences whenever he sings. Dr. Nice, who pleased everybody who heard him, with his volce and his violin when he was here two weeks ago, will re- turn for the Monday night meeting at the Salvation Army Hall, in which Adjutant Hunter of Baltimore, the district’ com- mander, will also take part. ———— THE WOMAN WON, Belt Line Officials Could Not Collect Double Fare From Her. Belt line railway methods resulted in a fine exhibition of muscle and pluck Wed- nesday afternoon at the new terminal, 11th and O streets northwest. A colored woman desired to continue her journey eastward on O street and the conductor demanded another fare, which was promptly refused. Persuasion was of no avail. The n order establishing another route commenc- ing at that point wes explained to the obdurate passenger, but this did not bring an extra fare. Then the conductor an- nounced that it was his solemn duty to enforce the rules, and she must leave th car. To this announcement she paid no heed and sat still. At this juncture the Griver saw that It was of no avail for the conductor to go it alone, so he, too, took a hand in showing the now enraged woman how easily they together could remove her from the car. But their joint efforts were to no purp A little more persuasion followed and more threats, and then en- sued a rough-and-tumble engagement. Th woman took hold of the seat and held on. Finding their united efforts could not break her grip she was allowed to continue her jeurney. ——>__— The Naphtha Exploded. idents in the vicinity of 12th and D streets southeast were given a prema- ture Independence day celebration last evening at about 6 o'clock that was near to catsing the death of Vernon Donahue, a colored man who attends the naphtha street lamps in that region. He had a push cart carrying two cans containing about The twenty gallons of the volatile fluid, and, after lighting a Jamp at that corner, threw the match behind him.

There are rumors that a tie-up of the road will be ordered by the Street Railway Union in the event of certain contingencies. It is claimed that the union has evidence that the sixteen cars of the Anacostia line transport about 3,800 passengers daily, and that the re- ceipts from this source are sufficient, after all other expenses are met, to pay the drivers $1.50 per day, which,sum is to be demanded. The management of the road appear to be getting ready to meet the emergency of a tle-up, {f this shall be or- dered, as they have within the past few days discharged some of their oldest and most experienced men, and yesterday em- ployed about half a dozen new hands, one of whom had been a conductor on another road in Washington for nine years or more, and these new men are being taught to drive. It is also reported that when the 9th street electric line is put in operation, which it is expected will occur before a sreat while, the city terminus of the Ana- costia line Will be located at 9th and B streets, near Center market. This was the case up to about two years ago, since which time by an arrangement with the Metropolitan and Belt lines the cars of the Anacostia road have been run over the tracks of the two companies named to the Present terminus at llth and G streets northwest. ——— NOT CAUGHT YET. Clarence Minor is Being Sought by the Police. This morning the physicians at the Gar- field Hospital said that Policeman Greer, who was so seriously beaten by a party of colored men Tuesday night, as published in ‘The Star at the time, will be able to leave the hospital in about ten days. Battle Minor, the colored man whose arrest caused the trouble, is in jail, and the police are making an effort to capture Clarence Minor, his son, and several others who figured in the affair. Last evening the officers went out in citizens’ clothes and made an effort to arrest several parties who are supposed to he in hiding, but they got word that the officers were coming and left the place. A large number of persons in the neighbor- hood of where the deadly assault was com- mitted have volunteered to appear as wit- nesses, and friends of the Minor family are sing the nelghborhcod for witnesses. The police think that Clarence Minor has left the city, ee No Division, To the Editor of The Evening Star: In reply to Mr. James E. for the perpetuation of the “Division,” it is only fair to remark that the men who preperly belong to the “Division” are not “ccntined to one locality.” The entire city Fenton's plea is jamned with their reputation.” I do not think these unfortunate sisters should be “scattered’’ without purpose, nor “driven out of the city." They should be helped, comforted, rescued, loved, saved. This will never be done by building a pen about them, with a door “big enough for any man and small enough ior any boy,” but through which no good woman is expected to There is a cure for this evil: Let every man—woman's natural protector and de- fender—set the same standard of purity and chastity for himself and for every woman, that he insists upon for his wife and sister d daughter. If he sees a weak woman in danger of going astray with him, let him warn her and persuade her to flee from himself, as he would his own tempted sis- ter from another man. If a man tells him he has seduced a woman, let hftn treat him as he would if the woman were his own or daughter; if he-tinds himself trying ng shame upon any woman, let him Iynch himself, as he would the man who tried to bring’ shame to the women of his nm weary of hearing and reading of defense of the women of his own sehold, and betrayal of the women of another man’s household, or of no man's heusehold. No—let us have no “Division,” which only serves to divide women from hope, from es- cape, from sympathy, from mercy, from fellowship, from protection, from all mo- tive and inspiration to purity, from all pos- sibility of self respect.

Rose Elizabeth Meades has filed a peti- tion in the Probate Court praying that a guardian be appointed for her, and that Edmund Burke be required to pay into the court the sum of $4,000, the amount of a judgment recovered by her in 1889 from the Richmond and Dan- ville Railroad Company because of injuries received by her on that road in that year. The young woman fs said to be seventeen years of age, and she claims that after the suit against the railroad company was set- tled by Mr. Burke, her attorney, she went to live at his house.

The rain which fell during the day did not materially affect the pleasure of the picnickers, as the many attractions furnish- ed amusement for all. The evening was clear, and the moon bright on the way home, giving one of the most delightful sails of the year. Dancing and music oc- cupled the evening until the return of the beat.

The union expects to give an- other excursion to the same place on Labor dey. Those in charge of the outing were Jobn E. Leech, Elmer Dement, P. J. Halti- gen, George A. Tracy and F. D. Padgett. The Choral Society excursion to Marshall Hall, which was to have taken place last evening, has been postponed to Tuesday, July 2. Tickets purchased for the excur- sion last night will be honored on that date. It was decided that the weather was too threatening for an enjoyable occasion last evening, and this prompted the postpone- ment. The steamer Macalester will leave this evening at 6 o'clock fer a delightful sail to Indian Head. A more pleasant and com- fortable trip carnot be found.
