CURZON IN A SPIRITED FIGHT The Stambouloff Affair Likely to Produce War. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS LONDON, July 17.—The greatest excite- ment prevails in the Southport division of Lancashire today, where the Hon. George N. Curzon, the sitting candidate, and a con- servative, is contesting his seat against Sir Herbert Naylor-Leyland, the liberal candi- date. Both candidates married American ladies, who are taking an active part in the campaign. The two candidates, accom- panied by their wives, are driving about rallying their forces, and great squads of men and women cyclists, as well as horses and dogs, are to be seen on all sides wear- ing favors of the rival politicians. All the bicyclists had their party colors streaming from their handle bars and the zon riders formed an escort for Mr. and Mrs. Curzon, while the Naylor-Lieland wheelmen formed themselves into a body- guard for the purpose of cheering on the candidate. ‘The radicals are making the most of Sir Herbert Naylor-Lieland’s belated denial that he purchased his baronetcy. While a@ body of about 375 liberal bicycle riders were escorting Sir Herbert and Lady Nay- lor-Lieland, several drunken conservatives, wheeling a barrow, painted with the Cur- zon colors, dashed among them and sent many of the riders sprawling right and left. A lively ‘scrimmage followed. The Returns. The following additional returns have been received from contested districts: Edinburgh, east division—R. Wallace, liberal, 3,499; H. Younger, unionist, 3,050. Liberal majority, 449. At the last election the liberal majority was 1,160, showing a loss to the liberals of 711 votes in this di- vision, Edinburgh, south division—R. Cox, conservative, 4,802; H. H. Paul, liberal, 4,708. Conservative majority, 94. At the election of 1892 in this district the liberal candidate polled 4,692 votes, and the union- ist candidate 4,261 votes, a liberal majority of 431 votes. Consequently the conserva- tives win another seat. Shields, south di- vision—W. S. Robfon, radical, 5,057; H. Waynwright, conservative, 4,92!. Radical majority, 133. At the last election the liber- al candidate polled 4,065 and the conserva- tive candidate 3,958 votes, a liberal majori- ty of 1,007. Waterford City—John E. Red- mond, Parnellite, 1,788; Farrell, anti-Par- nellite, 1,229. Parnellite majority, 559. At the last election Mr. Redmond polled 1,638 votes to 1,248 polled by his opponent, D. Sheehy, the anti-Parnellite candidate; gain, 169. Dublin University—Kenny, liberal, 8,661; Rt. Hon. David R. Plunkett, con- gervative, 3,205. Liberal majority, 456. This is a liberal gain, as at the last election all the candidates were conservative. Kilkenny—O’Brien, Parnellite, 681; Far- rell, anti-Parnellite, 667; Parnellite major- ity, 14. This is a gain of a seat for the Parnellites, as at the last election the anti- Parnellite candidate polled 744 votes to 604 polled for his opponent, an anti-Par- nellite majority of 140. Unopposed. The following members of the house of commons have been elected without oppo- sition in addition to those already recorded: Cork—Southeast division, Andrew Commins, anti-Parnellite; east division, Anthony J. C. Donelan, anti-Parnellite. Sussex—Mid- dle or Lewes division, Sir Henry Fletcher, bart., conservative. Buckinghamshire— Aylesbury division, Ferdinand James de Rotheschild, unionist. Lancashire—North- east, Rossendale division, John P. Maden, liberal. Mayo—West division, Robert Am- brose, anti-Parnellite. — Worcestershire— Middle or Droitwich division, Richard B. Martin, unionist. _ Derbyshire—West dl- vision, Victor C. W. Cavendish, unionist. Westmeath—North division, James Tuite, anti-Parnellite. Glcucestershire—Forest or Dean division, the Rt. Hon. Sir Charles Dilke, radical. Antrim—East division, Jas. M. McCalmont, congervative. ‘Tipperary— North division, Patrick J. O’Brien, anti- Parnellite. An American’s View. The Times this morning gives promi- nence to a letter signed by Mr. St. Clair McKelway of the Brooklyn Eagle, in which it says Mr. McKelway regards the elections in Great Britain as a check to socialistic tendency and thereby of value to every division of the English-speaking world. Sir William Vernon Harcourt,speaking at Abercairn today, said that he accepted the honor of contesting West Monmouth in the cause of temperance. He added that he was a firm liberal, and would stick to the grand old man, even if everyone else de- serted him. Unionist Gains, At 8 o’clock this afternoon the following was the result of the general election: Conservatives, 203; unionists, 33; total, 236, Liberals, 50; McCarthyites, 20; Parnellites, eae labor, 1; total, 77. Net unionists’ gain, Gladstone’s Son. ‘here are also lively times today at Leeds, especially in the west division,where Col. North, the conservative candidate, is said to have good prospects of defeating the liberal candidate, the Rt. Hon. Herbert J. Gladstone, son of the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone. Col. North, with his family and half d dozen secretaries, a number of serv- ants and horses galore, is occupying the principal hotel, and is conducting a clever campaign. He points particularly to the humble cottage where he was born, er WAR THREATENED. Stambouloffs Assassination Stirs Up the Eastern Question. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 17.—The at- temped assassination of ex-Premier Stam- bouloff at Sofia, Bulgaria, has caused a great sensation here and serious events in Blgaria are looked forward to. In fact, it is predicted that the whole eastern question will be reopened. The Turks are actively constructing earthworks at Mustapra Pass in Rou- mania and a mountain battery has been dispatched to the Uskub district. Troops have been sent from Solonica to quell a reported insurrection near Strumitza. ———— Fatal Railtoad Wreck. NORRISTOWN, Pa., July 17.—Brake- man Kilsender was instantly killed and Conductor Reese probably fatally injured in a freight wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad at the Trenton cutoff today. The wreck was caused by the train breaking in two and the rear end colliding with the front. Reese had both legs broken und it is feared he is internally injured. Four- teen cars a) recked.

Last Lot of Protests Favors the Pres- ent Plan of Strects. The last batch of protests against the first section of the highway extension plans, as prepared by the Commissioners, was received by Capt. Fiebeger today. Marion T. Andeson, department com- mander, G. A. R., although his home will be destroyed, believes the streets of the city should be extended in a straight line to the city limits without regard to cost. N. H. Shea makes the following sugges- tion relative to the extension of 13th street: “There could be sufficient land taken from both sides to form a large circle in the center of the street, say, about equal in size to Iowa Circle, and then the street could wind around both sides, which would make the ascent gradual and easy or a reservation could be made, in which the roads would wind in suck a manner as to make it easy to ascend to Clifton street. “I would propose, in the absefice of a pos- sibility of adopting the above, to cut the grade down at Clifton and 13th streets, which, I think, is entirely feasible,and falls frcm ‘that point north, south, east and west.” Stick to Original Plan. D. W. C. Brodhead writes as follows upon the highway extension plans from Delaware Water Gap: “As a property holder I desire to avail myself of the opportunity accorded by your board to submit objection to any proposition that may be before you for street extension in the District of Go- lumbia that does not conform to the idea govecning in the present system of high- ways in Washington city. To adopt into this series the heterogeneous subdivisions now existing at the very threshold of the greater Washington would be an affront to the memery of him whose name the city bears, as well as to that of the accom- plished engineer, L’Enfant, associated in the maturing of the scheme. The grand conception requires no revision, no modi- fication. Not to perpetuate the present system in extending the city limit would be a concession to vandalism. Must it be said, in our tige of great accomplishment, that Washington, the stately capital of the nation, has no alternative, but must accept henceforth in humble submissio highways projected by reckless syndicates, conforming in no respect with the city’s plan, in subdivisions at variance with each otrer? To undo this work we owe to the capital's future. The cost it involved would be inconsiderable when the advantages of a harmonious extension is taken into con- sideration. Five or at most ten million dollars would cover it. The latter is a sum less than the Philadelphia city council yoted and proposed to spend on a single thoroughfare extending from the city hall to Fairmount Park, and some hundred mil- Mons less than that expended under the dl- rection of Baron Haussmann in-connecting the street system of Paris. In this con- nection I would respectfully suggest that all curvatures be eliminated from the new system. That the crnamental be strictly subordinate to the useful. Curved roads are partly in the country only because the windings conform to topographical neces- sity. I would also suggest that squares be substituted for cireles, when the latter appears on the Commissioners’ District of Columbia diagram. It is well ascertained that city property fronting on squares takes a higher value than that fronting on circles in locations equally desirable. I can well conceive the difficulties that confront your commission in the execution of the task assigned you. Syndicates and indi- viduals alike clamor for concessions in their special interests. Whatever may be your decision, this chorus of importunates Will be silenced on its announcement. I cannot but regard your honorable com- mission as the executors of the will of Washington in the matter, and that your decision will make a period in the history of a city dedicated to be the grandest in the world, and in the future with which your names must be prominently associat- ed.” —_.__. AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY. New Branch of the Clab. The Capital Bicycle Club, which now is a great deal more than a bicycle club, is preparing to add a new feature to its rep- ertoire. Beside being one of the best bi- cycle organization§ in the country, the club has a crack whist coterie and a chess- playing branch, and it is now proposed to establish a photograph studio for the ben- efit of the camera exverts in the club. This action was determined upon at a meeting of the Club last Saturday night. It is proposed to convert the fourth floor of the club house into a studio. When the work is done it will present a rocm 18 feet by 24 feet, with a gallery skylight of the most improved pattern. It is sald that very few photographers of this city will possess a better equipped studio than this when it is completed. The new organization js to be known as the Camera Club of the Capital Bicycle Club, and starts off with a member- ship of fifteen, several of whcm are medal winners. A person must be a member of the parent organization to be eligible for membership in the Camera Club, and it is said that twelve or fifteen men have al- ready announced their intention to apply for membership. This city has become a fertile field for amateur photography. According to the authorities, Washington and San Francisco lead the country in this line of work. In addition to those who use the camera for pleasure and pastime, there are many sci- entists In the government service here who are expert photographers, and seme of the best work at exhibitions has come from Washington. It {s thought probable that this movement inaugurated by the Capital Club will result in establishing a national photographic association. The committee in charge of the new undertaking are Mr. M. McDaniel, Mr. Claude J. Allen and Mr. Charles R. Dodge. Capitol Bicycle CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS, A Reception for the Returning Dele- gates to Be Held Tonight. A reception to the returning delegates from the Bosten Christian Endeavor con- vention will be held this evening in the Sunday school house of the Calvary Baptist Church. Yesterday evening about half of those who left Washington on the special train a little over a week ago took their de- parture from the hub, arriving in New York this morning. Several of the dele- gates will remain in New York for a few days, or proceed from there on their vaca- tions, but the main body: is expected to-ar- rive home this afternoon. - Preparations are actiyely being carried on to give them a proper reception, as well as the delegates from southern cities, who will pass through the city of Washington on their homeward journey. The commit- tee in charge of arrangements consists of William B. Robison, chairman; Rev. How- ard Wilbur Ennis, Rev. Charles H. Butler, Andrew Wilson, T. W.!Grimes, Marion McH. Hull, Wm. F. Stowell, H. P. Metcalf, Ed. T. Fenwick, John 'T. Meany, Frank B. Severance, George E. Hebbard, George Compton, Henry Knowles and John W. Musson. It is the idea of the ‘committee to have the reception partake 6f'the nature of an echo meeting, and it is expected that sev- eral of the returning delegates will make impromptu talks on thei? impressions of the convention, its influence and results. Other features of the program are of in- terest, and an enthusiastic welcome will be extended by the large number of stay- at-home Endeavorers who will surely be on_hand. Rev. Charles H. Butler of the committee of arrangements said to a Star reporter this afternoon that. the train bearing the returning Endeavorers was expected to arrive abont 3 o'clock, and that the social feature of tonight's program would coza- mence at 7 o'clock. After an hour's com. mingling and personal greetings, the assem- blage would be called to order at 8 o'clock, when the more formal portion of the gro- gram would be carried out, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis making the address of wel- come. —__—.__ HIS CAREER CHECKED. Wm. Cissell Grimes is a Mach Wanted Man. William Cissell Grimes, the young man who had the thrilling experience in the swamp with the snakes yesterday just pre- vious to his arrest by Detectives Weedon ard Rhodes, was photographed this morn- ing for the gallery and tomorrow he will probably return to Frederick, Md., in charge of an officer, where there are charges of forgery and horse stealing against him. Grimes probably has a larger number of victims on his ist than any man who has figured in police circles in many years. Mest of his victims reside in Montgomery and Frederick counties, and most of his transactions involved only small amounts, many of the alleged forged notes being for amounts less than $10. Among those who were victimized were several of his friends, and Grimes is very little concerned about the broken friendships. Ever since his wife left him, he said this morning, he had lost his balance several times and went to drinking. On three oc- casious, he said, he threatened to blow out his brains, but then he thought no good could be accomplished in that way and so he decided he would rather live. From time to time the detectives bave pursued Grimes through the country for miles, and at intervals he would return and leave a forged check at some place of business. In this way he managed to get along, al- though he says he did some farm work in Montgomery county. At Frederick he made his presence telt by getting a sult of clothes and change for a forged check. Another check of the same kind he got vashed and then he went off, so it is charged, with a horse and vehicle belong- ing to a livery stable keeper. The prisoner spent some time about Gaithersburg, so he says, and has also been at Marlboro’ and as far down as Charles county. State's Attorney Elchelberger of Frederick county was here yesterday afternoon looking after the prisoner. He has made a full investi- gation of Grimes’ conduct, in that county ard he also rendered the Officers here val- uable assistance. : > — ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

AND HARNESS THE POTOMAC Capitalists Said to Have Already Secured the Property. AN ENGINEERING FEAT For many years there has been talk of utilizing the great water power at the Great Falls. Recently private owners of land and water rights there have taken steps locking to a development of the vast power nature has provided there, and at the same time officials of the government have been investigating the subject with a view to having the government undertake the work, the power developed to be util- ized in electrically lighting Washington and for other municipal purposes. A plan has been made, however, for making use of the Little Falls in the same { way, and the persons interested have ad- vanced their project so far that it may be that the Little Falls will be the first to be developed. This is a private enterprise of great proportions. It is proposed to harness the Potomac river so that abund- ant motive power can be supplied, not only for electric lighting purposes, but for all the manufactories that may be induced to establish themselves here. A wealthy northern capitalist, at present, represented in this city by Horace S. Cummings, is re- ported as actively engaged in perfecting preliminary preparations for beginning the development of this enterprise. It is said the work contemplated will require not less than $2,500,000, and that sum may be quad- rupled before a satisfactory result Is con- summated. The figure named as the mini- mum cost is founded upon a purely super- ficial estimate. Discussed Many Years. For many years the feasibility of con- structing a suitable lam at either Great Falls or Little Falls, so that the river could be utilized for manufacturing pur- poses in some practical and profitable way, hes been discussed. When the work of harnessing the Niagara river was begun and later carried to a successful conclusion the idea that Washington might be made irto a great manufacturing city became again prominent in the discussion of the Matters relating to the future of the capi- tal. The board of trade and other bodies at once began an active agitation for the providing facilities for the erection and operation of manufactories here. It has recently been expected that a party of capitalists interested in the Niag- ara enterprise would visit Washington ard make a careful examination of the river in the vicinity of the rapids, with a view to expending capital in developing the pow- er there. The objects of their inspaction, however, have been anticipated by others. Mr, Cummings.and his associates are push- ing their preparations with dispatch, and it is stated expect soon to have matters so arranged that they can give to the public @ comprehensive synopsts of their contem- plated work. Up to the present time, it is said, no resident capitalist except Mr. Cum- mings has become associated with the un- dertaking. When it was decided to prose- cute the work of supplying the city of Washington with a sufficient supply of cheap motive power for manufacturing and other purposes, the question of select- ing the point at which the restraining dam should be located was taken into consider- ation. It soon became apparent, it is sald, that while Great Falls afforded the mest available site, the obtaining of a perfect title to the necessary adjacent ground would result in almost interminable litiga- tion and indefinitely postpone the begin- ning of construction. In fact, it was be- lieved to be a matter of such grave doubt as to the eventual securing of a title that the investment of so many million dollars was not to be seriously contemplated. AS a consequence, the top of the Little Falls rapids was chesen as the most de- sirable location under the circumstances, and subsequent plans have been made as applicable to that site. The two great dif- ficulties that presented themselves for solu- ticn were: First, the prompt and peaceable procurement of indisputable right to every {cot of ground necessary to the syndicate’s use in perfecting its plant and service con- nections. Second, the devising of an engin- eering scheme by which the bed of the Cheasapeake and Ohio canal can be so raised and protected for a distance of six miles as to prevent it and the surrounding ccuntry from being flooded. The first re- quired a diplomat and legal expert; the sec- ond a proficient civil engineer. Securing Proprietary Interests. The work of securing proprietary inter- ests has been so quietly carried on that even the fact of its prosecution has gained but little publicity. Under the direction of Mr. Cummings papers were prepared for the relinguishment of rights and efforts made to arrange a satisfactory basis of settlement with each person interested. The first signature agreeing to transfer a proprietary right was obtained Monday, June 24, and others have been steadily added since that date. It had not been ex- pected that much time would be required to clear up every foot of land deemed es- sential to the completion of the enterprise, but the difficulties in this respect had been underestimated and the Ist has not yet been completed. The United States fish commissioner has given permission for the erection over the proposed dam of a fish- way similar to that used at Great Falls. ‘The projectors believe that all rights of usage and way will be obtained without much difficulty and that arrangements can be made for the rectification of all claims that may arise by reason of alleged dam- ages sustained by flooding or from other causes. ‘The engineering by which It is proposed to raise the banks of the canal for a distance of six miles will of necessity be difficult and expensive. The topography is unfa- yorable, and a number of ravines afford risks of flooding that apparently can only be prevented by the construction of sea walls, or levees, that must be of colossal strength in order to withstand the enor- mous pressure to which they will be sub- jected. An adequate supply of suitable material can be obtained orly with con- siderable difficulty. Stone can be secured from the overhanging bluffs, but blasting will be expensive. The Engineering Difficulties. The difficulties, in the way of consummat- ing the work proposed by the syndicate can, to a certain extent, be realized, when it is stated that the Great Falls have an elevation of 147 feet above sea level, with the four feet addition to the water supply dam provided by the last Congress, and the bottom of Little Falls is 20 feet above sea level. At Littie Falls, during the ordi- nary stage of water, a stone can be tossed across the river, while at Great Falls the width is nearly 3,000 feet. But the adjoin- ing lowlands at Little Falls will not lessen the cost of construction. The dam which supplies water for feeding the canal is nine- teen feet from the bottom of Little Falls, while the wagon road is 100 feet above the river on the District side, and the bluffs on the Maryland shore are more than 200 feet high and rise as they recede. The Little Falls rapids are one and three-quarters miles in length, and the distance between the Great and Little dams is eight miles. An Engineer's View. A civil engineer of this city, in speaking of the heavy expense that would attend the undertaking, said that the present canal dam at Little Falls is out of repair, but that it will not cost one-fifth the price of a new dam to rebuild it. He estimates that it would cost $1,000,900 to construct a new dam to replace it to be used for the purposes intended. He believes that the erection of a high dam, one seventy feet high, for instance, would flood the canal and all the surrounding territory, includ- ing government lands and the wagon 10ad. He does not consider it reasonably practi- cable to build a dam more than ten feet higher than the present one. and believes it would afford ample power for all possi- dle uses. It is said that Mr. Cummings ‘and his associates have taken into consider- ation all the difficulties resulting from a high dam, as calculations are being made upon the theory that the canal will be ficeded for a distance of six miles, asd scme feasible plan is doubtless being evolv- ed obviating ‘he entailment of any damages Uh.

Whatever may be the decision in this respect it is expected that the old canal dam will be utilized in the work of construction for its full availability. The chief obstacle to be overcome by the engineer, however, is the flooding of the canal. It is idle to suppose that the canal company will allow themselves to be en- tirely shut out from the city. One sugges- tion is the erection of a wail along the edge of the canal, sufficiently high to prevent its overflow. For two reasons, accoriing to the engineer referred to, this plan may be sald to be so impracticable as to be impos- sible. The first is the immense cost of such wall, built strong enough to withstand the enormous pressure it would be necessary to sustain at ordinary periods, to say nothing of the additional force exerted on it during freshets. The second reason for the non- erection of the wall is the great amount of time that would be consumed in constr.ict- ing it. How long this would take it is impossible to estimate, as there is but little foundation to work from, and the stone and earth used would have to be quarried and hauled. The other and,more feasible plan is to do away with the"canal entirely for five or six miles above the dam, and at such a point lock the boats out into the river, which, after the dam is completed, will be sufficiently deep to float them. Here a tug- boat will be ready to receive and tow them down to the dam, where they will be placed in a hydraulic elevator and lowered into the canal below, which will be left intact from that point to Georgetown. The same plan could be pursued on the upward trip. It is claimed that there will be but a slight increase, if any, in the time now-consumed by the boats in going from Georgetown to the Great Falls, as the time lost by locking in and out into the river and in being raised and lowered in the elevator. will be fully compensated for by the increased speed of the boats while in tow of the tugs. It will also be necessary in this case, as in the previous one, to build sea walis to prevent the overflow of the low lands by the backwater. The cost of this, it is claimed, will not be so great as at first glance might be supposed. There are com- paratively few points at which it would be needful to construct such walls. A num- ber of these are the entrances to ravines, which can be utilized at a great saving as TTT TTT TTA ANDREW PARKER.

This use of the ravines, notably among which is the one making up under Cabin John’s bridge, for storage purpeses, it is held, when the cost of construction is taken into consideration, will be an immense saving to the company, as it would be absolutely requisite for them to excavate reservoirs were it not for these semi-natural ones. The dam, which, it is reported, will be constructed, will be, if the supposed plans are carried out, between seventy and eighty feet in height. During August the river reaches its minimum flow. which is about 1,000 gallons per second. With a fall of seventy feet this would, it is calculated, give in round numbers, 6,400 horse power. By storage, it is claimed, an increase of 2,00 horse power could be easily obtained. When Mr. Cummings was seen in regard to the details of the work proposed to be undertaken he stated that there was noth- ing to be given out for publication at this time. He said it is intended to first ar- range all legal matters and remove the possibility of future litigation before any definite plans regarding the ways and means of accomplishing the desired results could be announced. A Government Report. March 1 of last year a resolution was adopted by the Senate directing the Sec- | retary of War to investigate and report as to the feasibility and advisability of using water power in the vicinity of Washington for the purpose of lighting by electricity the public buildings, grounds and streets of the District. The board detailed to make this investigation was composed of Col. George H. Elliot and Capt. John G. D. Knight. Lieut. Samuel Reber of the signal corps furnished the hydraulic estimates. The proposition under consideration did not include the construction of new dams, but merely the utilization of natural de- clivities. In its report as to Little Falls the board of examination says: “The great- est freshet in the river of which there is authoritative record occurred June 2, 1889. The river rose at Chain bridge, just above the foot of the falls, to 43.3 feet above tide level, and remained within three feet of that height for about twenty-four hours, and within six feet for about thirty hours. In other words, for about thirty hours the river at the foot of Little Falls was above the low-water level at the head of these falls. During this freshet the river rese to a height of sixteen feet above the crest of the dam at Great Falls. “In November, 1877, there was another great freshet, in which the river rose to a height of twelve feet above the crest of the dam at Great Falls, which then ex- tended ‘only to Conn’s Island, across the Maryland channel, the Virginia channel be- ing unobstructed. No record is available of the corresponding height in the vicinity of Little Falls. “It is recorded that in 1852 the river at Seneca creek, which is about eight miles above Great Falls, lacked but eight inches of reaching the height it attained in 1877. “These facts lead to the conclusion that any plant established to utilize the power at Little Falls would have been practically inoperative during a period of at least thirty hours in June, 1839, probably in- operative both in 1877 and 1852, and that the variability of the water power in this vicinity is too great to justify relying upon it for the purpose under consideration.” The construction of an adequate dam, and the creation of storage reservoirs, are necessary, it is said, to obviate the natural disadvantages mentioned in the report. Four eminent hydraulic engineers have been employed by Mr. Cummings, and will have charge of the work. They have pre- pared a complete hydrographic map of the Potomac from beyond Great Falls to Georgetown, showing every dip and eleva- tion, and indicating every ravine and in- denture. ———— Where to Spend the Summer. Berkeley Springs, W. Va., has lost none of the popularity as a resort which it has enjoyed for years, and this season prom- ises to add to its record. The St: Charles Hotel, which is open all the year, offers many inducements to persons contemplat- ing availing themselves of the advantages of the eprings. Mr. William Rutlidge is the proprietor, and a note addressed to nim will elicit desired information. Those in search of mountain air within easy distance of the city are invited by Mr. L. O. Hammerly of Round Hill, Va., to the Mountain House. This is within two and one-half hours’ ride of Washington, over the W. and O. R. R., and forty min- utes’ drive from Round Hill. The house stands upon an elevation of 1,600 feet and commands a magnificent view of the Pied- mont and Shenandoah valleys. There 's good bass fishing in the neighborhood. The Bolingly, at Queenstown, Md., cn Chesapeake bay, is within two and one-half hours’ sail from Baltimore, with steamers twice daily. Salt-water bathing at the foot of the lawn, fishing, crabbing and boating, a tennis ground and excellent cuisine cre among the advantages held out by Proprie- tor Charles Hillyard, together with a prom- ise of very low rates. The house is a fine, large mansion, with accommodations for 100 guests. ee Arthur Brooks’ Dilemma. Arthur Brooks, the eightgen-year-old young man who was arrested yesterday by Detectives Carter and Quinlan for passing a worthless check, as printed in yesterday’s Star, is still held in custody. The officers have not yet heard from the Lynchburg authorities, where the young man_ had been before coming here. Last night he said he expected to get the money on the check and win enough at the races to take it up. If he is not wanted elsewhere he will probably be taken into court tomor- row. ‘Telephone Company.—A dividend of 50 cents. shai payable on the 22 day of JULY, 1895, to the stockholders of racord at the cloat o h cy ot JULY.
