8 THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1895-TEN PAGES. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, Two events which have occurred during the past few nights have served to em- ‘phasize the fact, as stated to the Dis- trict Commissioners several months ago by Rev. J. B. North, pastor of Garden Memorial Church, that street lamps are badly needed on Minnesota avenue. The first: incident referred to happened to young Mr. Davidson, a clerk in the employ of Mr. A. B. Garden, who was returning late at night with a large sum of money from Mr. Garden's store, on Connecticut avenue, Washington, when he was stopped by two men, who made motions as though they intended to rob him. Mr. Davidson at once drew a revolver. and told the fel- lcws that if they did not leave at once he would shoot at them, whereupon they speedily decamped. The second incident happened to a young man, also a resident of Anacostia, who, while passing along the same avenue, also late at night, noticed three men watching him. Pretty soon two of them approached and wanted to know what the time was. The young man js the owner of a very fine gold watch, and instead of giving them the information asked for stepped back a few feet and, at the same time pulling out @ pistol, gave them half a minute to get away or one or both of them be made a corpse. Without farther parleying the en- tire crowd ran down the avenue as rapidly ‘as they could and were lost to view in the darkness. A monster, supposed to be a sea lion, was seen by Mr. J. A. Bailey, Mr. W. T. Bailey, Mr. Harry Batley and a Mr. O'Neil, residents of Southeast Washington, in the Eastern branch of the Potomac, opposite Anacostia, yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. The monster, which in every re- Spect resembled a large sea lion, was first noticed as it floated down the channel under the draw of the Pennsylvania Ave- nue bridge, where Mr. Harry Bailey and Mr. O'Neil were fishing. As the beast pass- ed those gentieman it gave a loud snort or growl, which frightened the latter considera- bly, but it made no attempt to attack them. ‘When opposite Bailey's boat house, near het Navy Yard bridge, at which point it was seen by Messrs. J. A. and W. T. Batley, the monster raised its rear quarter severl feet above the water and dived toward the bottom of the river, and it did not again rise to the surface of the water until it had gotten a considerable distance west of the Anacostia bridge. As the monster dived down it caused a large stream of the water to spout in the air to the height of ten or twelve feet. When last seen the neat was swimming toward Alexandria a. Justice Carroll W. Smith, who was sent to St. Elizabeth's Asylum a few days ago, because it was thought his mind was tem- Porarily affected, has been released from that institution and returned to his home in Anacostia Saturday night. Miss Mollie Phipps and Miss Emma Re- pett! of St. Elizabeth's, visiting Mrs. Frank Wood of Woodmore, Md., have returned home, —— CARLIN SPRINGS. “Spring Hill,” the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Young, was thrown epen last Thursday evening to their many friends, fu honor of the birthday anni- versary of their second daughter, Miss Nellie. With conversation and music,danc- ing and enjoying the cool lawn under the trees, followed by refreshments, the even- ing passed most pleasantly. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Simms, Mr. Victor Ferrett, the Misses Louise, Sarah and Mary White, Helen and Margaret Stockbridge, Lulu Morell and Carter, and Messrs. Berry, Mitchell, Hedrick, Gurley, Olcott and Morell. The Euchre Club, which includes tn its membership a large representation of the people of the village, met Friday night at the residence of Mr. Stockbridge, on Wal- nut avenue. Twel games were played with much zest, the interest being all the greater on account of this being the last Meeting of the quarter, at which the records of the members were completed and prizes awarded. After the interval for refresh- Ments, the prizes were given amid much applause, as follows: First gentlemen's prize, to Mr. Royal Gurley; first ladies’ prize, to Mrs. Gomer Jones; gentlemen’s “consolation” prize, to Mr. Wm. Mason; ladies’ “consolation” prize, to Mrs. King. ‘The next meeting of the club was an- nounced for next Fri@ay evening, at the residence of Mr. Jones, on Walnut avenue. Mr. C. W. Curtis of Washington 1s spend- ing part of his vacation here, enjoying the novelty of life under canvas, his tent be- ing pitched near the lower end of Maple avenue. The Misses Ossire, who have been spend- *ing the Jast fortnight with their friends, the Misses Stockbridge, returned Saturday evening to their home in West Washington. Mr. W. H. Olcott and Ris son Harry left early Saturday morning for a riding trip to Hayfield, Va. They will return in about a@ week. Mr. Wm. M. Stockbridge of Washington, who has been spending a few days with Mr. Walter Jones, returned to the city this morning. The strange disappearance of Mr. Dana Davenport Js exciting especial interest here, as the young man is the nephew of Dr. Backus of this place, and cousin of Mr. C. W. Curtis, who is now staying In the vil- lage. The question of a dog tax has been agi- tated of late In this vicinity, it having been made tho subject of a petition to the state legislature. It is the general opin- jon that vigorous measures should be taken to rid this section of a large num- bie of worthless canines which now infest Rey. Mr. Price preached at the town hall yesterday afternoon. ‘Two colored converts were baptized yes- terday in the run at Reed’s mill, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators of both races. ———— HYATTSVILLE. The finding of a human head in a corn patch on the premises of Mrs. M. L. Thompson, near the Eastern branch, in this village, has been the chlef topic of discussion for the past forty-eight hours, and many theories have been advanced in regard to what seems to be a mysterious, if not suspicicus, circumstance. About 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning Henry Smith, the colored man, in charge of the premises, while “working” thecorn patch, came suddenly upon a newly dug hole, and being evidently imbued with the idea that he had discovered a hidden treasure, set to work to uncover the excavation. Opera. tions suddenly ceased when a portion of a man's head appeared, after a shovel full f dirt had been removed. Smith uttered wn agonizing shrick and fell, in a cold perspiration, to the ground. He recovered consclousne: quickly, and hurriedly re- paired to the office of Justice Carr, and after much*effort, the negro managed to advise the magistrate of his discovery. Ac- companied by the frightened darkey, Jus- tice Carr visited the place. It was dis- covered that the head had been recently deposited, the top part being sawed off and the brains extracted. The cheek and daw bone stood out prominently, and no decomposition of the flesh was notice- able. A few gray hairs were on the upper lip and on the back of the neck. Four teeth were in the upper jaw, and a very good set In the lower. In examining the head an eye rolled out on the ground, and had it not been for Justice Carr's coolness, the negro discoverer would have fai: on the spot. From the appearance of the head the man was evidently between fifty and years of age. The magistrate stly object in a box and burled it where it had been found. There can be ro doubt that this head belongs to some medical student, and {t has been sug- gested that the subject was removed to the corn patch by some meandering canine, from a pla of safety selected by the young doctoi The neighboring grave- yards are being searched to ascertain whether or not any bodies have been re- cently removed therefrom, “It is more than I'kely, however, that the subject was taken from the potter's field in Washing- ton. Mr. Appleton B. Clarke, architect, has been given charge of the work of complet- ing the new Masonic Temple in this village, and has drawn the plans and specifications for this work. It is understood that the contract will be given out in a few days, end operations immediately begun. The upper floor will be used for Masonle pur- ses, and the lower one for public enter- ‘ainments. The completion of thig bullding will fill a Jong-felt want in this village, 1s it is greatly in need of & public na. Mr. Horace Ashton, grandson of Rev. Mr. Todd, is quite {11 with typhoid fever. Miss Jenule Todd, daughter of Rov. Mr. who have been, Todd, has recovered from her recent illness, A sacred concert was given in the Colored Baptist Church of Bladensburg last evening by the Sunday school of that church. The new house of Mr. W. C. Fowler, at Riverdale, will be completed and ready for occupation about the Ist of August. The new public school building, at River- dale, will be completed about the middle of August. It will contain one large room and two small cloak rooms, and accommodate about sixty-five scholars. There promises to be a lively fight at the republican primary in Laurel district for delegates to the county convention. At a recent meeting heli in that district Capt. Wm. M. Potter, Luther Brashears and Al- bion Fairall, who represent the Perkins faction of the party, were indorsed as dele- gates to the convention, and Messrs. M. F, Schooley, John H. Travers and John P. Lewis, who are strohg Belt men. were turn- ed down. Mr. P. P. Castle, the candidate for county treasurer, was allowed the privi- lege of naming three of the delegates, and selected the men favorable to Perkins for the nomination fox clerk of the circuit court. A leading republican of that dis- trict, who is an enthusiastic follower of Belt, stated to The Star reporter that his friends did not want to defeat Castle, but that they were determined to carry the district for Belt, for county clerk, at the primary meeting, and elect Messrs. Schoo- ley, Travers and Lewis as delegates to the county convention, notwithstanding that they were defeated at a public, meeting, which never should have been held, as the selection of delegates should always be de- cided at the primaries. Belt would not only win in Laurel district, but in the entire county. A prominent republican from the adjoining district said Perkins was sure to win in the convention, and that the demo- rats were anxfous for Belt’s omination, because they knew they could beat him. Both Belt and Perkias have been prominent figures in politics for a number of years, and each has a host of followers. The re- publican leadership for Prince George's county is involved in this fight, as well as the nomination for the county clerkship, as the successful candidate wili undoubtedly be the recognized leader. ae ROCKVILLE. After weeka of almost uninterrupted work among the voters the democratic primary campaign in this county came to a close Saturday by the selection of a ticket to be voted at the election in‘November. The pri- mary campaign was conducted this year with less thaa the usual vituperation and abuse that was witnessed two years ago, and this state of affairs it was hoped by the thoughtful leaders of the party would be continued until the ticket had been final- ly settled. But in this they were disap- inted. On the day before the primary Becton a card, signed by Mr. John C. Bently, made its appearance, in which it was charged that Mr. Josiah J. Hutton, one of the “anti-ring” candidates for nom. ination to the house of delegates, had ad- raltted to the writer of the card that he had not voted for W. H. Lamar ror the legislature at the election two years ago. The publication of this card was also ac- companied by a statement from Mr. Hut- ton that he had voted the democratic ticket on that occasion. This being the first open attack made by the “ring,” it caused consid- erable bad feeling, and led to such con- cerced action among the friends of Mr. Hut- ton that he came out a winner next day. ‘The election here and in the other districts of the county passed off in a comparative- ly quiet manner, although a large amount of “benzine” was parteken of and many voters returned home in a cordition not at all consistent with a local option communi- ty. During the closing hours of the day a number of skirmishes took place, but none of the belligerents were badly injured. The returns from the thirteen election districts show the following result: For governor Spencer C. Jones had no opponent, and will name the delegates to the state conventio1 James B. Henderson, candidate for ass ate judge of the circuit court, having no opposition, will select the delegates to the judicial convention to meet here in August. The county ticket will be as follows: For the house of delegates, Edward J. Chis- well, Josiah J, Hutton and Elisha C. Etch- ison; orphans’ court, Laurence A. Darby, Chas. H. Griffith and Charles R. Murph: courty commissioners, Remus R. Darby and Samvel K. Bready; sheriff, Jno. W. Coliter; county surveyor, Charles J. Mad- dox. For state's attorney the vote is very close between Samuel Riggs of Rockville and Alex. Kilgour, the latter claiming the romination by a majority of eleven votes. ‘The friends of Mr. Riggs claim that a re- count of the votes will be necessary to definitely settle the question. Of the three rominees for the house of delegates two are anti-Gorman men. Ex-Judge W. Veirs Boule, accompanted by Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Boule and daugh- ter, Isabel, left here on Saturday for a sojourn at Atlantic City. During the prevalence of a thunder storm here yesterday evening the lightning entered the signal tower at the railroad station, doing some damage to the appa- ratvs. The lawn fete given at tho residence of Mr. I. B. Ward, near Hunting Hill, Wed- nesday evening last was a mcst enjoyable affair, and a succcss socially as well as financially. The residence and lawn were handsomely dezorated with flags and ever- greens, and hundreds of Chinese lanterns added brillianzy to the scene. The supper table, presided over by the charming hos- tess, was laden with all the delicacies of the season, served in true old Maryland style, to which all the guests did ample justice. Refreshments of all kinds were in abundance, on beautifully decorated tables, and served by the charming young ladies, who flitted here and there like gay butter- files, making the scene one of fairyland. Mr. George Garrett, wife and son of St. Joseph, Mo., are visiting his mother, Mrs. Frances Garrett, at Hunting Hill. Mrs. George Gartrell, Misses Allle and Georgie Gartrell of Washington and Misses Bessie and Flick Stewart of Martinsburg, W. Va., are enjoying the hospitality of Mrs. I. B. Ward at Hunting Hill. —— BRIGHTWOOD. Mr. and Mrs. William Shryock of Baltl- more are staying with Mrs, William Beall. Mr. G. F. Andrews, who has been quite sick at the Garfield Hospital has recovered and is attending to his departmiental duties. Mrs. Cuvier Green and children have gone to Virginia to spend a couple of weeks with her parents. Miss Lydia Brawner, who has been visit- ing Miss Nellie Darling, has returned to her home in Georgetown. Mr. J. B. Gilmore and family have moved from ‘their former home on Brightwood avenue to a newly-built house on 4% street northwest, Washington. G Mrs. Walter Murphy has gone to Port Tobacco, -Md., to stay with relatives for the balance of the heated term. Friday a trotting race took place at the Brightwood Driving Park. The attendance was large, the weather fine, and the track in a very good condition, It was pronounc- ed to be the most successful of this year’s races. The race was called at 2:30 p.m. The first was a 2:29 class and the entries were as follows: Little Maid, b.m., Jas. Morrow, first; Ray Gould, b.g., C, Forney, second; Pat Murphy, s.g., A. Beemmer, third; M. C., c.g. R. Ashton, fourth. The second race was a free-for-all, the entries being as follows: Little Maid, b.m., Jas. Morrow, first; Gold Chief, c.s., C. Forney, second; Bell W., b.m., T.’Shughrue, third: Lottie,” b.m., J. Sinimons, fourth; ‘Tom Bayard, b.g., C. Brannaghan, fifth. The Epworth League of the Brookland M. E.

E. reunton, also deliv- ered a fine address, The delegate return- ed teday from Baltimore to attend the re- ception to be held in Washington tonight. aie Sates FALLS CHURCH. Mr. W. H. Veltch has gone to Cape May for a week, with a party of friends from Washington. Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Church and son, Guy, have returned from a week's trip to Blue Ridge Springs, Roanoke and Natural Bridge. + . : A serlous conflagration was narrowly averted yesterday by the presence of thind of Mr. Wm. H. Veltch. It seems that one of his children in lighting a gasoline stove in some way ignited the gasoline in the reservoir, causing an explosion which burn- ed a hole through the roof of the kitchen. Mr. Veitch, with great danger to himself, removed the stove, and the flames were promptly subdued, with no great damage to the building. At the annual meeting of the Virginia Pharmaceutical Association, which was held last week at Blue Ridge Springs, the following officers for the ensuing year were elected: President, Wm. G. Burgess of Hampton; vice presidents, Dr. H. W. Cole of Danville, Howard J. Wayte of Staunton, E, L. Robey of Herndon and Paul Massie of Roanoke; secretary, C. B.

Beckwith is the retiring member of the present board), W. H. Craig of Lynch- burg, C. R. Link of Richmond, Edgar War- field of Alexandria and W. .G. Burgess of Hampton. The meeting was largely at- tended by representative druggists through- out the state, and many interesting scien- tifle papers were read, as well as some of practical commercial importance. On Wed- nesday night a very interesting exhibit was made ay Dr. C. P. Kerfoot, with cal- clym carbide, a new discovery for the manufacture of illuminating gas. The tax on alcohol was discussed at length, and a national committee on legislation was ap- pointed, with M. E. Church of Falls Church as chairman, to look after the interests of retail pharmacists. Over twenty new names" were enrolled as members of the association. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed the association in a healthy condition, numerically and finan- cially. The place of meeting next year will be decided by the executive commit- tee, and will be held either at Blue Ridge Springs or Hampton. During the afternoon of each day the pharmacists indulged in athletic sports and out-door games, many of which were very amusing. A game of base ball between Capsules vs. Pills was won by Pills, score 9—10. Polk Miller of Richmond, capain of Capsules; Robt. Bry- don of Danville, captain of Pills; M. E. Church, umpire.

Miss Guy of Alexandria was the guest of Mrs. Mankin Sunday. Prof. H. F. Lowe led the Y¥. P. 8. E. C. Sunday night, assisted by Mr. Carl Garret- son. —_>__ NO GAMBLING AT SARATOGA. The Club House Shut Down Entirely Saturday. The Saratoga club house has been closed to all gambling. It was open to the public for four days early in the season, and then the authorities gave notice to the pro- prietor that there must be no gambling in his “play room.” In response to the urgent request of many citizens, who regard the club as one of the attractive institutions of Saratoga, the restaurunt.and cafe were kept open until last Saturday njght, al- though the big apartment where the games of chance were formerly played was en- tirely vacant, save for Its celebrated $6,000 carpet, all in one pfece. Saturday Mr. Can- field shut his doors absolutely. Village President Sturges and his immediate svp- porters have taken a stand against every form of gambling in Saratoga, and posi- tively refuse to discriminate between the disreputable resorts which used to line the principal thoroughfare and the club house, which limits its patrons to visitors from abroad, never permitting a resident of Saratoga county to play within its pre- cincts. These gentlemen take the ground that if they close Cale Mitchell's vicious dive they must also close every other es- tablishment in the place where money Is ventured in gambling. The merchants, bankers, hotel keepers and many others Whose capital ts Invested in business in Saratoga take another view of the prob- lem, which has awakened such an uproar. They say the closing of the club house will keep many rich pleasure seekers who spend money liberally away from Saratoga, and send them to other resort: DIAZ DEVELOPING MEXICO. Ex-Gov. Shepherd’s Opinion of the President of the Sister Republic. Ficm the New York Herald. . There has come bagk to northern civiliza- tion a man who a few years ago was call- ed the “Boss of Washington,” and if Alex- ander R. Shepherd was not actually that he certainly exercised a wide influence over national affairs. He ts now at the Gilsey House, and ts not alone in excellent spirits and in robust health, but he is enthusiastic over his recent experiences, and is going to get some more of the same kind if he can. But before he returns to Mexico, whence he has just come, he will sail for Europe, starting today, and make a tour and get some rest amid new scenes. Mr. Shepherd went to Mexico in Septem- ber, 1880, and from that time until last June he has been devoting himself abso- lutely to his local interests there, not going beyond the radius of a dozen miles from the mines at Batopilas. He is very much impressed by President Diaz of Mexico, and with his government. “He is a remarkable man,” said Mr. Shepherd, “and is developing Mexico in a way that is astounding. Civilization and business are advancing there side by side. Property interests are safe. They have no time or inclination to treat train robbers and highwaymen politely down there. If they- are discovered in any depredations they are shot in their tracks,as they should be in @ country like Mexico, to which the prompt enforcement of law is a prime ne- cessity of its progress. “From what I have learned in coming north, the intelligent people of the south are in favor of bimetallism. They appre- ciate the fact that an unlimited coinage of silver would be disastrous to prices and to trade generally, and that it would in- evitably affect the financial standing of our government. It has astonished me to find the changes that I do in the northern cit- jes. They seem to be kaleidoscopic. This is particularly the case with New York.” ———_+e+-—__* New York’s Arid Sunday. All the saloons in New York were closed yesterday, but the soda water business was not interfered with. A representative of the Liquor Dealers’ Association of New York called upon Gov. Morton at Ellerslie Wednesday. He read to Goy. Morton Senator Hill's letter to As- semblyman Benjamin Hoffman, comment- ing on the statements as he went along. “I am not prepared to say whether I will call an extra session of the legislature,” an- swered the governor, after hearing all the arguments, Thomas C. Platt passed Friday night at EllersHe. It would seem that Mr. Morton and Mr. Platt agree that the party which passes a Sunday saloon-opening law and the man who signs the bill will kill them- selves politically. —___-+0+_. They Bagged a Senator. It has developed that a police raid was made upon the Palace Club in London Thursday. A number of prominent Ameri- cans were caught in the raid. The club is one of several fashionable night clubs in London. It opens at midnight and closes at 6a.m. Lately the Palace has been very riotous. The club is elegantly appointed, having penaeure men servants and a band play- ing nightly. A hundred men and women, ell in evening dress, were captured. Among them were a United States Senator, a Con- gressman, a prominent law official of an saree state and an American police of- cial. All save the proprietor and servants of the club were released. They were re- manded. Looking for Homes. Ex-Congressman 8. 8.

Application of Sing, One of the Jean- nette Survivors, Charles Tong Sing, a Chinaman, has filed an application with the New York police civil service board with a view to an ap- pointment as special officer. Mr. Sing has a record for having closed up many of the Chinese gambling ders and opium joints in San Francisco. Sing has a scar on his left cheek, which he says is the result of injuries recelved in the arctic regions as one of the crew of the Jeannette when she was crushed in the ice. His friends, the Chinamen, say that he got the disfigurement at the hands of the high- binders of the Golden Gate city. Sing has documents and medals that prove an honor- able career in the United States navy, as well as on the police force of San: Fran- elsco. When the news of his application reached Chinatown there was a large amount of ex- citement among the gamblers of Mott and Peil streets, . Sing was born in San Francisco, and was educated in China. At thirteen years he shipped with Lieut. De Long on the Jean- nette, and was one of those who were res- cued by the Russian expedition. In the story of the wreck of that steamer his name is mentioned prominently for the he- roism he displayed, and the medal given him by Congress he wears on his vest, along with a gold medal presented by the Navy Department. After his return from the Greely expedition he settled in New York and married a young American wo- man, who was the means of converting him to Christianity. He was steward on the Thetis, one of the Greely relief ships, and his spare time dur- ing the long winter nights above the arctic circle was utilized by him in the study -of the written language of the United States. He speaks and writes English as fluently as though he had been educated in the pub- lie schools here, instead of in China. The Chef Stole the Menus. To get even with the proprietor of a well- known hotel in Atlantic City, yesterday, the chef, who was discharged for some trouble in the kitchen, purloined the newly- printed menus. The loss was not discov- ered till meal time. To serve dinner with- out a bill of fare was out of the question. When almost in despair the steward ran across a printer on Maryland avenue, ac- companied by his sweetweart. Calling the “print” aside, with tears in his eyes, the steward explained the situation and beg- ged that the typesetter prepare new menus. Without saying good-bye to his love, the printer rushed to his shop, and, as the dinner gong at! thé hotel was ring- ing, brought the prectous: bills of fare to the almost frantic stewafd. —————- e+ 1 Fell Over Nidgura Gorge.
