Yor Driving Herds of Horses Over Un- improved Streets. Lawyer John Ridout, counsel for the Belt Line railroad, appeared in the Police Court this morning and defended four of the company’s emplcyes, against whom charges of violating the police regulations had been preferred by the pclice. The de- fendants in the icur cases were Thomas Sweeney, Courtney Baker, William Davis and William Buchanan, and it was charged that they drove herds of horses over an unimproved street, in violation of the regu- lation of the Commissioners. The horses in question were driven frem the lth treet stables to the place where the horses are changed, near 7th and P streets, and the most eonvenieat and shortest route was cver streets rome of which are not improved. So much dust was caused by the constant use of the streets that com- plaints were made to the police, and the arrests resulted. ‘When the case was called in court coun- scl ma@e a motion to quash the informa- tions, cn the ground that the regulation is an unreasonable one, and also for the rea- gon that it gives the chief of police unre- stricted power in the matter of granting permits. After a short argument Judge Kimball informed counsel that he thought there was nothing in the point that the regula- tion is an uareasonable one, and counsel then praceeded to argue upon the other question. In support of his claim author- ities were cited, but before the ccurt reach- ed any conclusion counsel said that there would be no further occasior to make ar- rests. The company’s emplcyes, he said, will go over improved streets hereafter, and with this unde ng Judge Kimball accepted the personal bonds of the men charged. —— An Appeal for Taylor. Among the lettera sent to the President with the petition for the commutation of the sentence of Thomas J. Taylor was cne from Dr. William A. Hammond, eddressed to Taylor’s attorneys, in which he says: “I hope that his excellency, the President, may see his way clear to interfere in Tay- lor’s behalf to the extent of commuting his punished to imprisonment. He does not elong to the criminal class, however; his intentions are generally good, but his power of self-control is weak, and he is extremely liable and of himself from slight auses to such an exteat as not to be fully conscious of what he is doing. if the ends of justice could not be perfectly ured by { ment £ would not In favor of commuting sbment.

A. Linger, in Anacostia, for tht Benefit of the striking employes of the Anacostia Railroad Company, was a tribute of a solid kind. Conservative members of the committee which had the party in charge placed the estimate at 2,000 as the number present. There could not have been less, and it is possible there were many more. But while there was this great outpouring, the meas- ure of public sympathy practically extended was. far in excess of that, for hundreds, and some say several thousands, of tickets were sold to persons who could not find it convenient to attend. The lawn where the gathering occurred lies between Harrison street and the river, and illuminated, as {t was last night with hundreds of Chinese lanterns, could easily be seen from the entire southeastern sec- tion of the city, from=the navy yard to the Congressional cemetery, while those living beyond, and almost as far as Benning, could obtain a magnificent view as well. To the minds of many persons the scene suggested was a glimpse of fairy land, and @ visit to the lawn itself had the effect of enhancing the beautiful illusion. “~~ Everybody There. Everybody present was delighted with the affair. The Col:mbia Typographical Union bad, in accordance with the.-- promise to attend, secured a number of Knox's big coaches, and the members had brought with them their wives,daughterg and sweet- hearts, as also an Italian organ-grinder, with his instrument of music, which they had picked up on the way, and whom they Gesired to enliven the trip to and from the grounds. A big delegation from the bureau f engraving and printing, many of whom were also accompanied by ladies, were there, and hundreds of the residents of Anacostia, both Indies ard gentlemen at- tended. The members of the various com- mittees, who had brought the event so happily inaugurated by Messrs. Green, Dr. George Havenner, W. C. Van | Hoy, J. M. Keating’ and other enterprising to the magnificent conclusion and inclvding those gentlemen, were showered with congratulations. While it is true that refreshments early became exhausted, no one growled, or even murmured about that, and from the empty traced their steps to the ing arbor, which had Saaeaniy arranged for the use of the kers, and around this the mutitude as- sembled. Speeches Followed. Packed Ike the typical sardines in a box they listened for several hours speeches by those who wished the strikers to gain a victory. The meeting was in charge of the Pro- tective Street Raflway Union, and the pres- ident of that body, Mr. Thomas J: Law- rence, presided, and .made afew remarks. Mr. Lawrence was followed by Mr. H. Linger, who delivered an exceedingly grace- ful address of welcome, and told all pres- ent to feel that they were entirely at home. s to tke gssembling of the great bat ha¢ erstood, ed to aid the striking employes to the se of his grounds, that shopld they tram- ple down every rose bush he owned he would not compiain, Other speakers were Messrs.

Se Capt. Moant Burted at Arlington. The remains of Capt. John F. Mount, late of the thir@United States artillery, who died Sunday last, were laid..to rest at Arlington during the past week. Capt. Mount was a brave officer, and-his war record obtained the unusual recognition of a commission in the regular army. When the war broke out he left Alhany, N. Y., with the Albany Burgesses corps for thr: months, re-entering. service in the one hun- dred and thirteenth New York infantry, being afterward transferred to the seventh New York artillery, and was successively promoted for gallant conduct until he was honorably mustered out with the rank of major. He served in the defenses of Wash- ington, in the Army of the Potomac and at Baltimore and in the vicinity, being greatly beloved by those serving under him and highly respected by his superior officers. He was appointed second lieuten- ant, third artillery, February 23, 1866, pro- moted to first lieutenant July 2S, 1866, and eaptain December 3, 1 He had lived for a number of years in Washington end had a large circle of friends.

Campbell, the lumber dealer, was defendant in the Police Court this morning in a case of cruelty to animals, it being charged that he permitted one of his driv- ers, a colored man named John Simms, to drive an animal with a sore shoulder. The record of the case showed that the colored man had sworn out the warrant, which was issued in Anacostia by Justice Carroll W. Smith, who appeared as a witness in the case. While the record stowed that Simms had sworn out the warrant, Simms said he hac no knowledge of having done so. He went in an office with the justice, who got him to touch a pen, but he had no idea or intention of swearing aut a war- rant. Justice Smith was the principal witness in the case for the prosecution. Mr. Campbell explained the condition of the horse, as did other witnesses. Judge Miller said that the case was a ter- rible one, and impoted a fine of $20, which was pald. —_——.—__ Died Suddenly.

Good Work Done by the Mission for Erring Women, The gospel meeting at the Hope and Help Mission, 604 H street northwest, Thursday evening was unusually well attended by outside visitors. Mrs. La Fetra, Mrs. Luckett and other members of the official board were present. Mrs. Mary E. Catlin led in prayer; after the usual hymns “Mrs. Marion Guild Walfcrd read a paper touch- ing on woman's influence in purifying the social systema of our great cities. Mrs. Luckett, one of the ladies connected with the Hope and Help Mission, says she thinks there should be an organizatioa formed for the prctection of young girls, the purpose being to prevent them falling into the snrres and pitfalls which me2t them. She says she has seen young girls with innocent faces on the street so dress- ed as to appear Indecent. Such cases as tkis, In the new organization method,would be taken care of and not allowed to appear on the streets again similarly attired. At another time she saw a young girl with a gentleman on the street cars and could not prevent herself hearing a conversation which would eventually lead her into trouble. THis girl might te saved future pain and her friends possible exposure by the interposition of this new charitable organization. “We have organizations to prevent cruelty to animals and small chil- dren; why not one to help young women who may be in peril?" said Mrs. Lucke*t. The appropriation allowed the Hope and Help Mission by Cengress is iradequate, and the managers are dependent on conzri- butions for the greater part of the ex- perses. The mission is an outgrowth of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, and was conducted under the auspices of that association until 1893, when it was surrendered to the care of three women, who bore the responsibility of the mission for several years. The doora of the homé for eight years have never been closed, night or day, and the cry of the helplass and: needy woman or girl is never disre- led. gard This mission has rescued and placed upon a good, moral standing many poor women and girls who would, it 1s believed, have gone to utter ruin, had it not been for its outstretched arm. The first inmate of this home was a giri from the country. Her father’s friend betrayed her, and she sought this city with the avowed purpose of living a dissolute life, thinking, as many do, that there was no redemption from her social sin. She approached a blue-coated officer of the city and asked to be directed to a “resp2ctable” disreputable house. ‘This policeman took her to the Hope and Help Mission and told her that was the place for her. And now that girl, who thought no honorable perton would recognize her, is a good wife and a true woman. That was the beginning of the work done by this mission. ——_._—_ SUMMER RESORTS. Cool Retreats Where Washingtonians Can Find Comfort and Pleasure. One of the choicest resorts in New Jersey is Hatakawama Inn, on Lake Hatakawama, in the Schooley mountains. It is especially frequented by amateur photographers in search of the picturesque and quaint. The post office is Budd’s Lake, N. J., and Mr. A. W. Brown, the manager, will take pleasure in giving all desired information. Patapsco Heights, near Ellicott City, on the Baltimore and Ohio road, affords a restful and convenient escape from the heat and lassitude of city life In midsum- mer. The scenery is pastoral and pacific, the table is excellent and the tefms, on ap- plication as above, will found to be rea- sonable, A mountain home of rare beauty {s Clare- mont, at Rlue Ridge Summit station, on the Western Maryland railroad. It is a family hotel, and well established in the affections of all its old patrons. The views thereabouts are beautiful in the extreme. Mrs. M. E. Douglass has for several years entertained many Washington people at her pleasant summer home, near Preston, Md. The table abounds in all the good things of the season, and there are fishing ard crabbing to be had in the neighbor- hood. Mrs. Gen. Mussey, at 470 Louisiana avenue, can give all desired information about Mrs. Douglass’ place. The Windsor still has a strong hold on all Washington people who go to Cape May to spend their outing. It has every possible modern convenience, and is a delightful family hotel. Mr. Halpin is still the man- ager, and is, as usual, glad to respond to all inquiries about the hotel. “The Aesculapean” is the suggestive name of a resort at Wiehle, Fairfax county, Va., within twenty-five miles of this city, which is to be opened, for the first time for the reception of guests July 15. The name is significant of the unusually hygienic surroundings of the hotel, which is situated in the midst of a splendid grove of trees, end is supplied with every convenience. A lake near by affords facilities for bathing, fishing and boating. ‘The Hotel Mount Vernon at Atlantic City has 1,000 feet of porch facing the ocean, and the entire rear of the house also com- mands a view of the sea. This house is only one block from the beach. and one of the features is the reasonable rate at which good accommodations can be ob- tained. The Hotel Central at Atlantic City is rear the ocean, aid also within a short dis- tance of the railroad depot, an advantage often appreciated by visitors. Mr. L. A. Rowan is the proprietor. Berkeley Springs will be popular again this year with mountain-loving people and the Mountain Terrace Hotel will extend old-time welcome to guests. Mr. S. E. Cro- nin, the manager, offers reasonable terms to those seeking mountain air and good fare. The’ proprietors of Bright View Cottage, at Old Point Comfort, offer board for pri- vate families at $10 per week. Facilities are provided for boating, bathing and fish- ing. Swann’s place at Piney Point, Md., offers many advantages; prominent among them being three daily mails. Boats are free for guests, and there is plenty of fishing and crabbing, as well as salt-water bathing. Terms are low. La Fontaine at Atlantic City is a thor- oughly modern house, on Kentucky avenue near the beach. Comforts are provided a combination and rates are reasonable, valued by many. Mrs. McClain announces that she can ac- ccmmodate a few summer boarders at Sud- ley Place, Shepherdstown, W. Va., during the months of July and August. Piney Point, Md., has a number of good resorts, and among them !s Lock Eden Cat- tege, managed by James D. Hayden. His terms are low, and he gives his guests fa- cilities for salt-water bathing, crabbing and sailing. The cottage is near the hotel. Sent on His Way. Bernard Brady, sixty-eight years old, who lives in Richmond, arrived here yeg- terday and called on Sanitary Officer Frank, whom he asked for transportation. ‘The old man said he had been working rear Philadelphia, and he walked from that city to Baltimore. When he reached Baltimore, he said, he was given a plece of bread, and was sent here by the au- thorities. Yesterday, when he reached here, he was almost famished. Sanitary Officer Frank gave him a good supper and a bed last night. This morning he was given something to eat, and was then sent to his kome. —.—__ Struck by an Engine. Yesterday afternoon Walter G.

GETTING READY FOR "6 Colored Republicans Hold Enthusiastic Mass Meetings. ‘The Anti-Carson’Meeting Last Night Indorsed @icKiniey as Its Candidate. ‘The mass meeting which was held under the auspices of the-McKinley League in South Washington Jast night was a suc- cess from a numerical standpoint. The Genestra Orchestra paraded through the streets of that locality and brought back with it a crowd that filled 3d street for several blocks. Although Col. Perry Car- son was booked to speak, he was not there. Lewis Willis presided, and in his speech calling the meeting to order said that the meeting was for the purpose of preparing for republican success in 1896. He believed McKinley would carry off the prize. Mr. Willis then introduced, $V. C. Cox, who has been a member of the Mississippi legislature for several terms. He said that delegates should be sent to the national convention who would demand Ame! citizenship for the District. Men should be selected who would not sell out. He said that the old leaders should be turned down and young men selected. At the conclusion of Mr. Cox’s speech the chairman intro- duced the first vice president of the league, Mr. Robert H: Keys, who was received with much cheering, but declined to make @ speech. Mr. Keys’ friends are backing him as the delegate to the next conyen- tion in the place:of Perry Carson. The secretary of the association, 8. E Jones, was the next speaker. His prefer- ence was for McKinley. He spoke of the attitude of McKinley towards the negro, and said that McKinley had immortalized himself by declaring that, while he was governor, no negro should be lynched in Ohio. He sald that McKinley would not honor the requisition of the governor of Kentucky for the return of a negro to that. state until he had been given a guarantee by Kentucky’s governor that the negro would not be lynched. Mr. Jores was followed by C. P. Irby, who said he had supported Carson for six- teen years, but he was against him, al- though he had nothing against him per- sonally, and had no criticism to make of his honesty and integrity. Resolutions Adopted. The president then announced that the speaking was over, and that resolutions were in order. S. E. Jones offered the fol- lowing resolution: “Whereas, the Hon. William McKinley, the great champion to American industry and American labor, and to human life and liberty, is a candidate for the presidency ot the United States; Therefore, be it re- solved, That we, as citizens of the District ef Columbia, in mass meeling assembled, do hereby indorse him for: the presidency of the United States, and pledge him our hearty support.” The ycas and nays were called, and chairman Willis announced that the reso- lution was passed unanimously. Another meetirg, tt was announced,- would be held about the middle of August. A Carson Meeting Called. To offset the meeting of last night Perry Carson’s friends have called a meeting, to be held at East End Park July 22. They call it a “reunion df the old boys of the District.". The entertainment is to be an all-day affiir, and the committee announces that no pains or expense will be spared to make the meeting a success. The Capital Band has been engaged for the occasion, and Perry Carson i3 announced as the ora- tor of the day. The other speakers are as follows: George Hatton, ex-Commissioner M. M. Parker, Andrew Gleeson, Jno. M. Lancaster, George Jones, Aaron Bradshavy, Wm. H. Barker, Calvin Chase, Fditor Cooper, Jas. Weldon, John W. Freedman, Marcellus West, John Moss, Hewlett, George W. Boston, Samuel Bradshaw, ex- Congressman Bruce and Wm. H. Brookes, The members of the committee are Robert H. Key, L. G. Fletcher, Wm. H. Underdue, John Keith, Andrew Belt, James Wood, Michael Robertson, Daniel Stillard, Richard Gasaway, Jesse Roy, Peter Meredith, Ralph Wormley, Henry Bolwin, Jeremiah Haw- kins and Albert Clark. ——_—.__- MONEY IN THE FIDDLE. How a Washington Man is Said to Have Left a Legney. A pretty little story comes eastward from Kansas relating how a benign old gentle- man in Washington bequeathed a hidden legacy to his nephew, which has only a few days ago been discovered. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is responsible for the following form of this story: “It ap- pears that the other day Hugh McGuire, a farmer near Goddard, received a fiddle by express that had in it something more soothing to a Kansas farmer than music, Two years ago his uncle, Peter Conroy, died at Washington city. Conroy was sup- posed to have a good pile of money saved up, and as McGuire was his only heir, he anticipated a little fortune. When Con- roy’s will vas opened it was found that he left nothing to McGuire but an old fiddle he brought with him from Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, in 1848 McGuire was so indignant he would not pay for expressing the fiddle to Kansas. Two weeks ago he dreamed one night that the fiddle was full of money. He spoke about it to his wife, and the latter, believing in dreams, appro- priated enough from her butter-and-egg fund to pay $2.80 express charges on the fiddle. It has arrived, inclosed in a sealed violin case, and when examined was found to contain $1,800 in money and a deed to 160 acres of land near Clymount, Va. Not a word of explanation was with the money, and McGuire is wondering what his uncle's idea wast The Instrument was torn to pieces to get the money out, but it will be glued together again and hung on the wall of McGuire's cottage as a monument to his old uncle’s memory.” Inquiry among ali the accessible Conroys in Washington today resulted in naught but a negative shake of the head. “Sure,” said one of them, “did a Conroy leave so much money behind him? Tl die worrying that bit of the legacy is not coming my way. “The only Peter Conroy I ever knew,” said another, with characteristic humor, “died just before I was born.” The express companies seem to have no record ef a fiddle containing $1,500 being sent to anybody in Kansas. —— The Sixth Corps at Marshall Hall. In the month of July, thirty-one years ago, the sixth army corps, then doing duty at the front, was ordered to this city to protect the capital against a threat- ened raid by Gen. Early, the confederate leader. They came and performed valu- able service, as every old resident knows. There are about 100 of those men still liv- ing in Washington, ‘including Gen. Wright, the corps commander. They are now or- ganized under the mame of the Assoclatcd Survivors of the Sixth Army Corps, and July 16 they will have a Poliday at Mar- shall Hall. The associationo has chartered the Macalester for that occasion, and will give an excursion in the evening. Ar- rangements have been made that those who desire can go down on the day boat. eS The proprietor of Piney Point Hotel is giving a trip at reduced rates on the steamer Arrowsmith on Saturday, July 13, 1895, leaving her wharf at G p.m., stopping at Piney Point, Tickets for sale only at the store of Wash.

Practically Unchanged Prices—Gener- ously Supplied Market. There is very little, if, indeed, any real change in the condition of the local whole- sale produce market to be reported today. With very few exceptions, prices are as they were a week ago. Indeed, about the only changes noted is a slight decline in potatoes and berries and fruits, and a fall of a few cents in spring chickens. These changes, however, are to be expected, be- ing due, of course, to the increased yield, and not to any decline in the demand for the products. Butter, although weak and of inferior quaiity, because of the heat, shows no change in prices beyond a reduc- tion of half a cent in the finer grades. Eggs are still very unsatisfactory, and practi- cally unchanged in price. Beef and other meats do not yet give any promise of a de- cline in prices. As was the case last week, the market is generously supplied, and an active demand prevailing, the market ex- hibits a firm, healthy tone. ‘The poor quality heretofore reported in the finer grades of butter continues, and the market is, therefore, weak and unsat- isfactory Butter, us now arriving, is too poor to store, and there is an unusually large shrinkage in fine makes.

The market, there- fore, is weak. From 12 to 12% is asked for the best zocds, a cent or two less for others. The receipts during the week of spring chickens caused a break in prices, and they are selling at from 11 to 13 cents a pound.

Chattanooga Worked by a Young Man Hailing From Here. A young man® faultlessly attired, with attractive manners and pleasing address, who represented himself as J. P. Givens, attorney-at-law, recently of Washington, according to dispatches cut quite a figure in Chattanooga, Tenn., Wednesday, and now the merchants of that clty are anxiously looking for him and the police and detectives are on his trail. The al- jeged Mr. Givens, although a total stranger in the thriving southern town, introduced himself to J. B, Frazier, one of the leading lawyers of that city, and proposed the formation of a copartnership. His offer was, of course, rejected, but learning that Mr. Frazier intended absenting himself from Chattanooga for a few days the young sherper proceeded to make capital out of his self-imposed relationship with the lawyer. Hiring a bicyclé he went the rounds of the leading mercantile houses of Chattanooga, after first depositing draft for $1,500, drawn by himself on the Ohio National Bank of this city, on the strength of which one of the business men indorsed a check for $15, which he imme- diately cashed. In his dealings with other merchanis he represented himself as J. B. Frazier’s partner, and all the checks he presented in payment for goods were in- dorsed “J. P. Frazier.” The signatures were clever forgeries and no suspicion of crooked dealing was entertained until Mr. Frazier’s return to Chattanooga yesterday, when he promptly repudiated the transac- tions. The swindler received. large quanti- tles of goods, and as the checks presented in payment therefor were always for greater sums than their cost he pocketed quite an amount in change. No J. P. Givens appears in the city directory for the current year, and nothing seems to be known here of the young man who is now so badly wanted in Chattanooga. — ‘Too Long Hours for Soda Water Boys. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am giad that some one, through your valuable paper, has called attention to tHe “overworked and poorly paid soda water boys of cur city. There is not a harder worked set of employes in this city than the boys mentioned. They are expected to be at their places of business not later than 8 a.m., and from that time until 11:30 p.m. are kept on the jump; the hotter the weather the more work for them, and it is seven days every week for the most of them. Our society to prevent animals from being overworked might start a branch for the benefit of the soda water boys. JUSTICE. $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via B. ana 0. R.
