Rain Falls in Torrents for Three Hours and Does Great Damage. The heaviest rain storm ard flood that has visited the region of Dunbar, Pa., for many years occurred there Morday even- ing. Rain began to fall about 6:30 and con- tinued in torrents for over three hours. The bridges between Dunbar and Union- town are all washed away, anc the tracks in many places are also washed | out. Trains will not be able to get through for nearly twenty-four hours. ‘The local streams are swollen nigher than at any time since the flood of 1888. People aicng the banks of Dunbar creek were obliged to flee for their lives, and buildings were car- ried away in the iorrent. The Dunbar Furnace Company’s and Dunbar Fire Brick Company’s plants are all flooded. The loss will amount to thousands of dollars. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Del Ray Indignant Over the Garbage Situation. A Peculiar Accident to a Young Man— Hurt in Driving — Other Local Notes. _ The citizens of Del Ray met again last night to further discuss the garbage ques- tion, Mr. W. H. O'Connor was in the chair, and stated that the object of the meeting was to receive the report of sev- eral committees and to appoint one to at- tend the meeting of the city council in this city tonight. Messrs. B, W. Nalls, F. M. Bell, Thos. Peverill, J. G. Gosseling and Fitzgerald were appointed by the chair, and instructed to wait upon the council to- night, and if they failed to enact such les- islation as would relieve Del Ray of the garbage pits and the stench arising there- from to proceed to extreme measures early WA4inesday. The report of the committee appointed to call on Wood, Harmon & Co., the projectors of Del Ray, was rendered, and was to the effect that that firm would do all in their power to have the nuisance abated, and would back up the citizens’ association in whatever they saw fit to do. The report of the committee appointed to wait on Mr. Richard Johnson, common- wealth’s attorney for the county, showed that they got but hittle satisfaction out of that gentleman. The only reply they got to the question, “What can we do to stop Alexandria from sending her garbage to Del Ray?” was, “I will look into the mat- ter;” and then, it is said, he moved off as though some one were after his life. Accident to a Youth. Young Frank Harper, a clerk in the Star clothing house, was quite painfully hurt last night in rather a peculiar manner. With several companions he was diving Into the river from the pilot house of the Norfolk steamer while it was being freight- ed at the Prince street dock. Harper jump- ed feet first and was followed immediately by Donald Aitcheson, v.ho, before Harper struck the water, lit on his head and shoulders. Th2 blow evidently drove him to the bottcm, as he emerged with an ugly cut on the head, a sprained shoulder ani a number of bruises. He was carried to his home on ‘South Lee street, and was doing yeryqwell this morning, though it is thouxht he will be confined te his bed for some time, Aitcheson was unhurt, strange to say. Mayor's Court. Acting Mayor Snowden had only two cases before him for trial this morning, and they were disposed of as follows: Mary Martin, charged with being abusive to her stepmother and generally disorderly, was fined $2, and Katharine Timberlake for ob- structing the sidewalk and being otherwise disorderly, $1. Notes. Mrs. J. H. D. Smoot and daughter, Miss Ella, have returned from Old Poiat. A number of the public school teachers of this city left today to attend the state normal institute at Charlottesville. Mayor John G. Beckham has gone to Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs to re- cuperate. He is accompanied by his nephew, Mr, W. H. F. Beckham. There will be a meeting of the city coun- cil tonight, at which the fight for iire wardens will be taken up again end other important business transacted. A meeting of the Columbia Fire come was held last night, with President W. Smoot in the chair. Only routine ance was transacted. Mr. Frank Entwisle will soon begin the erection of a handsomé new stor2house on Fairfax street. Mr. Arthur Ashton of Warrenton, Va., who has been in the infirmary here for some time, died at that institution last night of old age. His remains will be sent to Warrenton for interment. —_ THEIR PROTEST. WITHDREW Messrs. Britton and Parker Belleve, However, in a Straight Extension. Messrs. A. T. Britton and Myron M. Parker, who filed a vigorous protest some time ago with the commission haying final judgment upon the pian of street- extension against certain recommendations of the District Commissioners regarding the treatment of 224 and 23d and Decatur streets northwest, yesterday sent another letter to the Secretary of War, the Secre- tary of the Interior and the chief of en- gineers. “As owners of lots 5 to 13, in block 5, of Kalorama subdivision,” said the communi- cation, “we filed, on May 10 last, our pro- test ‘against the stopping of the northerly extension of 22d street; against the widen- ing of Decatur street between street and Massachusetts avenue, when Decatur street is not opened eastward to Florida venue, and against the opening of 23d reet from Decatur street for about three ks northward only, as has been propos- ed in the sectional map recently sub for your approval by the Commissioners the District of Columbia under act of Con- gress approved March 2, 18:3. “We now understand that the District Commissioners have amended their pro- posed map, so that 22d street is opened upon a grade of public convenience and use as far north as S street; that 23d street is opened upon a similar grade as faf north as Belmont avenue and as far south as Sher- idan Circle, and that Decatur street, upon a 1 per cent grade, is restosed to its pres- ent width. “While this will leave our property about thirty feet above grade at 23d street and an average height of fifteen or twenty feet along our entire 450 feet front on Decatur street, and while it will cost us fully $4,000 for necessary removal of earth and will de- stroy all our magnificent oak trees, yet, as this amendment is a direct extension of the present city grades and streets, and thereby promotes public use and convenience, we readily concede that our personal interests must yield to the public benefit. “While we think that 22d street.is the natural north and south outlet for the sec- tion situate between ISth street and Rock creek, and reaching from the Potomac river to the Zoological and Rock Creek Parks, and should, therefore, have been continued by the Commissioners to an intersection with Connecticut avenue extended, and while we are thoroughly convinced that the beauty and utility of the future Washing- ton demends the direct extension of its streets and ayenucs upon the present plan and grades of the city, yet we concede that .to be a matter of general citizenship, and that the amendments of the District Com- missioners remove our property interest, which, under the act of 1893, was properly the basis of a protest for your considera~ tion. “We, therefore, hereby exprtss our _ac- quiescence in the amended plan of the Dis- trict Commissioners so far as it affects our Decatur street property GLOOMY FARMERS. Rains Spoil the Wheat Crop in the Red River Country. Minnesota and Dakota farmers in the Red River valley are gloomy. A week ago wheat promised the greatest yield ever known in this section, but it has rained four days the last week. It Is feared that the crop of wheat is entirely spoiled. At Larimer, N. D., there was quite a scare when it became known that wheat was damaged by smut. At St. Thomas, N. D., great excitement prevails because of the discovery of smut. Several parties who were out all day examining fields in that vicinity go so far as*to say that what wheat they saw contained 33 per cent of smut. A heavy rain has been falling for the last forty-eight hours at St. Vincent, Minn., and there are no prospects of its stopping. All grain {s flat on the ground, and in most cases will never rise, owing to the rank heavy growth. Rust and smut are seen in every field. ———~+2+-—___ Rey. Francis E. Clarke of Boston, presi- Rey. Francis E. Clark of Boston, presi- dent of the United Society of Christian En- deavor, has received a set of resolutions passed by the Armenians of Boston at a special meeting Sunday night, thanking the society and President Clarke and Sec- retary Baer, personally, for the action of the recent convention in that city in peti- tioning President Cleveland and Queen Vic- toria to take steps for the better protec- tion of Armenians in Turkey. THE WORLD OF SOCIETY A Baby Show Now Delights London Society. Amusements at Home and Abroad of Well Known People— Notes. The blase English aristocracy are now enjoying a sensation pretty well played out in this country. They are organizing baby shows in which the entries are limited to infants of noble blood. The little lords and ladies are appraised carefully by weight, size, number, teeth and beauty. A most successful aristocratic baby show was held last week in a London drawing room. The fashionable world thronged the houge, and the only drawback was the absence of his royal highness, Prince Edward, from the exhibits. The first prize for weight and general excellence, for babes under one year, was awarded to Dermot Browne, the soh of Lord Castlerosse, who, although but eleven months old, we'ghed thirty-three pounds. The prize for babies over one year was awarded to Angela Mildred* Baring, the daughter of Lord and Lady Ashburton, who is eighteen months old and weighed twenty-e‘ght pounds and had fourteen teeth. It reads like a wavelet from Asbury Park only for the titles. The Venezuelan minister, Mr. Andrade, with his sons and daughters, are at Deer Park for the summer. Narragansett Pier has a Washington con- tingent of fair summer visitors who bathe and bike from the rising of the sun until the going down of the same.

D. Wilson of 316 B street southeast will be at home to their friends tomorrow evening, from 7 to 10 o'clock. Mr. Edward D. Easton and Miss Hattie M.

A Well-Known Resident of Washing- ing Passes Awny. In the death of Mrs. James Sedgley, which occurred at an early hour this morn- ing, many warm friends, and the commun- ity In which she has lived during the past five years, have suffered a distinct loss. Mrs. Sedgley had been an invalid during the greater portion of her residence here, and latterly a great sufferer, but her cheer- ful, sunny temperament and sterling qual- itles of heart and mind had endeared her to a large circle of friends in Washington. She was born and spent her girlhood in Concord, N. H. The greater part of her married life was passed in Cleveland, Ohio, where her husband, the late James Sedgley, was for many years an officer of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railway. Mrs. Sedgley’s family consists of two daughters, who have the loving sympathy of many friends in their great loss. The services will be held at the family resi- dence, 1779 Massachusetts avenue, tomor- row (Wednesday), at 12 o'clock. The inter- ment will be at Concord, N.

Imlay of 2821 M street, was stabbed five times in a fight yesterday afternoon at Orange, just outside of Baltimore,and died twelve hours later in Johns Hopkins Hospital. His assailant is reported to be one “Wiley,” a shert, thick- set man, who 1s said to have been a dentist by profession, but who for some time has been tramping from city to city, doing work only when it was found absolutely necessary. The trouble which resulted in Imlay’s death, report says, originated over 10 cents. A, young fellow named Harry Hickerson or Hicksy, who lived in George- town at 1018 29th street, and who was a companion of Imlay’s, had given “Wiley” 10 cents to buy beer with. The fellow appropriated the money. Hickerson re- monstrated, blows followed and then things cooled down. Later Imlay upbraided “Wiley” for his mean act and a fight fol- lowed. In the struggle Wiley ripped out a knife and stabbed Imlay five times. At 4:45 this morning Elmer E, Imlay, brother of the deceased, took the train for Balti- more to take charge of the remains. The Star reporter saw® the dead boy's father this morning, and from him learned that Walter left town on Saturday night headed for Wilmington, Del., where he had been offered a position at $50 a month to run a stationary engine. He had done such work at his brother’s mortar mill, at 28th street and the canal, off and on. At other times he worked as a bricklayer un- der another brother, who is a contractor. Hickerson, who it appears has never been particularly industrious, went with him. “Wiley,” the father thinks from the de- scription that has been given him and from the report that he is a dentist, is a former employe of the mortar mill who went by the name of “Shorty,” but whose real name was Alfred Wood. He was intelligent, but not fond of work, and had been something of a wanderer. ' The meager description obtained of the murderer tallies well with “Wiley.” A few diys before Walter Imlay left town he was on M street in front of his father’s furniture repair shop, where he had occa- sion to make some change. Wood, or “Shorty,” being rear, he turned his back and drew from his pocket a roll of bills, re- marking as he did so that he didn’t want that fellow (pointing to Wood) to see what money he hac on him. Wood was not seen in town after Imlay left. In fact, it is be- lieved he left before Imlay did. While Wood and “Wiley” tally to a great extent, the former, Mr. Imlay, the father, said, had always appeared to be unoffend- ing and quiet—not a fellow who would readily engage in a quarrei. His home was in Chicago, and he frequently received let- ters from that city. Wood had shown him three dental diplonas. “Shorty” was dis- charged from the mortar mill. He was about twenty-three or twenty- four years of age. Both Hickerson and “Wiley,” the companions of Imlay, have been arrested by the Baltimore police. The murdered boy was a big, strong fel- Jow and of quiet disposition. He lived with his brother, the contractor, at 1217 29th street. Mrs. Catherine Myers, wife of Sergeant Chas. C. Myers, died this morning at 12:20 o'clock. She had been a sufferer for twelve weeks. Deceased was forty-nine years and seven months old.
