AFFAIRS ‘IN GEORGETOWN Oondition Just Canal Matters in a Brisk Now: - : 1 Watching Electrical’. Experiments ‘With Interest—Other: Lecal Notes From Across Rock Creek. Canal managers are wetohing with inter- est the experiments with the new Lumb electrical cable system for boat haulage now being made in Trenton, N. J. The sys- tem appears so practical that, serious con- sideration will be given it by the companies for the local canal most -lergely. engaged in transportation. It introduces a tow- path overhead cable line, with the motors suspended from the cable,.and.to which the towline is attached. Electrical men all over the country are greatly itfterested. The electrical system that for some time was experimented with on the Erie canal and was watched here by the transporta- tion company with the intention of, bring- ing it into local prominence if successful, did not fulfill the expectations of the in- ventors last year, end as been laid aside. The present Chesapeake and Ohio canal men recognize the fact that the mule can- not much longer reign as the supreme power in canal locomotion, and a ‘worthy successor will instantly receive flattering support. 2 The break discovered at the Glen Echo level of the canal a few days ago has been repaired. was not immediately discov- ered by the canal inspectors on account of the muddiness of the river water, which hid the earthy stream that made its way from the artificial waterway. Water has been drawn out of the big trough near Williamsport temporarily, to enable workmen to better clear the bed of the grass that has grown up to the great interference of the boats’ progress. The present year still continues to far outstrip all previous ones under the tru tee management in the amount of bus! ness done. Factory Sold. The big Edward L. Dent foundry plant, including the real estate on both sides of K street near 33d, and all the buildings, fixtures, equipments, machinery, engines, ete., pertaining thereto, was yesterday sold at public auction by Duncanson Brothers, auctioneers, for a figure a trifle under $60,- 000. The holder of the deed of trust notes, represented by the American Security and Trust Company, bought the property in. The plant is the finest in the District; ig thoroughly fitted with the finest and most compicte machinery, and covers 90,000 feet of ground. There fs a frontage of 150 feet en the Potomac river and 250 feet on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The Dent buildings were erected in 1887 at a cost of $46,000, and equipped with ma- chinery, power plant, tools, at a cost of over $62,000. Notes. Troop A, under command of Lieut. Short, left today for River View, for the purpose of giving a fancy drill. There 1s much building going on in Ross- lyn. There seems to be a boom on. C. H. Fickling has sold to W. F. Clark an unnumbered lot in square 100, Beall's addition. Messrs. Corson and R. W. Darby of Poto- mac Commandery, No. 3, Knights Templar, left today for Boston to make final ar- rangements for the reception there of the Georgetown knights in the latter part of August. Mr. Steve Cassin, a former very popular Georgetown boy, is lying critically ill in Washington at his parents’ home, on New Jersey avenue: Rev.

J. M. Schofield Garrison, No. 28, is golng on at River View today. Troop A, sixth U. S. cavalry, commanded by Lieut. W. C. Short, U. S. A., will participate in the fol- lowing program: Cossack riding, hurdle jumping, in which live horses are used as hurdles; sword combats, acrobatic bare- back riding, Roman riding, exhibition of handling schooled horses and other acro- batic sports. Two exhibitions will be given at 3:30 and 8 o'clock p.m. The steamer Pentz will leave on her iast trip this even- ing at 6:45.

Tomorrow the steamer City of Richmond will leave on one of her daily trips to Co- Jonial Beach at 9.a.m. The large number of people that go on these excursions is evidence that they are greatly appreciated. Salt water bathing and plenty of crabbing are a few of the principal features. The every Saturday trips to Chapel Point which Capt. Randall has inaugurated are far surpassing their last year’s popu- larity. The fast steamer Harry Randall usually carries fine Sunday excurstonists to enjoy the charms of this beautiful re- sort at every trip. Three hours are given there, reaching home at 10 p.m. Salt wa- ter bathing and fishing, music and danc- ing and rambles over the picturesque lanes and dells of southern Maryland, are among the many attractions. This {s one of the most popular excursions which goes down the river, and Chapel Point is reaching a state in which to rival all other resorts on the river. —_—_—_ AMUSEMENTS.

The members of the present force are all can- didates for re-election, and there are about twenty-five additional applicants. As the commissioners are all thorough and respon- sible business men there is no doubt but that a competent and efficient force will be elected. ; Bread and Water Diet. Several days ago James Cliff was before Mayor Beckham, charged with drunk and disorderly conduct, and for the offense against the law was fined $2.50, in default of which he was sent to the chain gang for twenty days. Yesterday Cliff refused to work any more, and he was taken to the station house and will receive a bread and water diet until he is. willing to go to work again, A Wholesale Steal. Frank Dorsey, a colored man who works around the market house, was before May- or Beckham in the police court this morn- ing, charged with stealing meat and vege- tables, chickens, peaches, &c. From the quantity found in his possession and ex- hibited in the court, Dorsey was evidently laying in a winter’s supply, as he had gotten when caught enough to supply a dozen families. He was sent to the chain gang for ninety days. Police Report.

MERTZ’S MODERN PHANMACY, 11th and F. fyl1-1 eee PRESBYTERIAA SUNDAY SCHOOL. Corner Stone of \Eckington’s’ New Structure Laid. The corner stone bf the Eckington Pres- byterian Sunday sehooJ, North Capitol and Q streets, was laid-dast evening by the Rev. Dr. Chas. B. Ramsdeli of the North Pres- byterian Church, whe first suggested the establishment of the school. Mr. Rams- dell was assisted by:the Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland of the. First Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. W.C. Alexander of the West Street Presbyterian Church, George- town; Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis of the Western Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. A. ‘W. Pitzer of the) Central Presbyterian Church, and the Rey, Dr. B. F. Bittinger of the Westminster Presbyterian Church. The proposed building has been described in The Star, and upon a tastefully dec- orated stand the exercises were held. The Sunday school, in charge of its superintend- ent, Mr. Irwin B. Linton, was present in full force, and the little ones entered earnestly into the services. As chairman of the Presbyterian Alliance’s committee on public meetings the Rev. Dr: Alexander presided, and the exercises were opened by the singing of the hymn “All Hail the Power of Jesus’, Name.” - The Rev. Mr. Ennis then read the 115th Psalm, the Rev. ‘Dr. Sunderland delivering an earnest prayer. Superintendent Linton read a historical sketch of the school, which was highly -in- teresting. The corner stone of the structure was then laid by the Rev. Dr. Ramsdell, a copy of the Bible, a history of the school, a list of tts officers and scholars, a copy of The Star and other Washington papers, and a number of coins being placed in a box in- serted in the stone. Dr. Ramsdell made a brief address, and after the scholars had sung the hymn, “The Banner of the Cross,” which was, by the way, the first one sung upon the organization of the school, brief addresses were made by the other clergy- men present. The services were concluded by the singing of “Old Hundred,” the bene- diction being pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Alexander. As the large crowd dispersed “The Star Spangled Banner” was rendered by a brass band composed of young men. ERCURIAL = = POISON Is the result of the usual treatment of blood dis- orders.
