The fete champetre of Potomac Com- mandery, No. 8, Knights Templar, was a most successful affair in every way. It was held yesterday at Glen Echo, and the beautiful place resounded all day long with the shouts of the merry-makers and the sounds of horses’ hoofs as the tournament was being carried out and company A, sixth United States cavalry, were giving their drill. The principal feature of the afternoon’s entertainment was the Cossack drill by the cavalry troop, consisting of twenty-three picked men under command of Lieut. Short. Their drill was a splendid exhibi- tion of horsemanship, embracing rough rid- ing, Roman races, troop evolutions and trick horsemanship. A number of the boys were thrown, but no one was hurt, and the horses secmed to enjoy the fun as much as their riders. Another attraction was the tournament, in which about a dozen expert riders tried ther hand. The most of them were above the average in such exercises, and the ties which had to be ridden off made the affair very long. It was finally announced, how- ever, that Mr. James Harris, the “Knight of the Little Daisy,” was entitled to the honor of first prize and the supplementary privilege of crowning the queen. He chose Miss Laura Hauser for that honor. The others who came close to the winner were James Shugrue, Richard Rickeits and John Lynch. All received prizes, consisting of saddles, bridles and spurs. The award of the prizes was made by Judge Lacy of Georgetown, and the same gentleman also made the speech when presenting the win- ner at the coronation ceremony. A storm came up during the cavalry drill, but it did not last very long, and the visitors weath- ered it out in the amphitheater and in the cottages scattered around the place. A concert was the feature of the evening. This took place in the amphitheater at 8 o'clock and a number of well-known local performers took part in the program. These were Mr. W. H. Conley, in “Happy Bits of Humor,” a recitation; Mr. J. J. Fisher, baritone solo, “A Bandit’s Life is the Life for Me,” Mrs. W. H. Combs, ac- companist; Messrs. Cuilen and Collins, in catchy banjo selections; Mr. George O’Con- nor, in popular songs; Mr. Charles Han- ford, “The Star Spangled Banner, Miss Blanche Wise and Master George Hunt, in fancy dancing; Mr. Ed. C. Moore, comedian, in character work; Mr. Arthur Yumdi, vio- lin solo; Mr. Arthur E. Middleton, bass so- loist; “Senator” George Graham, in “Min- strelisms.” The last event in the evning’s entertainment was a broadsword contest between Private Nelson H. High and Corp. Studt, the two expert broadswordsmen of Fort Myer. Prof. Howard A. Rhine gave an exhibition of faricy bicycle riding. It is estimated that about 2,500 people were carried out to Glen Echo by the many conveyances which were called into use, and Potomac Commandery feels proud of the success which crowned its efforts in getting up and carrying through such a large enterprise. A Runawray Hearse. While a hearse belonging to Timothy Costello was awaiting the reception of the coffin containing the remains of the little son of Mr. J. A. Brown of 1643 32d street yesterday the horses attached thereto be- cam? frightened at electric car No. 40 of the Tenleytown line and dashed down the street. The driver, James Davis, either jumped cr fell before they had gone a block, The horsés dashed on, carrying the hearse first to one side and then to the oth- er of the street several times, narrowly avoiding serious collisions. At O street the expected crash came. 5S. Farland’s vehicle was dashed Into with damaging results. The horses were loosed through the shock and breakage, and another runaway. began. | All horses were finally caught. Another hearse was sent for to bear the child's re- mains to the grave. A Lively Time on a Canal Boat. W. J. Haycock, a canal boatman, chased Thos. Thrasher yesterday with a huge knife and alleged murderous intent. The foot race took place on Haycock’s boat, and was highly exciting. Space was Umited and acrobatic feats necessary to avoid a contact with the knife. There were jumps, leaps, sprinting, somersaults and handsprings, witnesses say. Several times both narrowly escaped going over in the water. There was murder in Hay- cock’s eye and fear in Thrasher’s. The canal has been particularly lively of late with assaults of various kinds. It is claimed that this is an indication of prosperity. The Charge Not Sustained. Lucy Thrift was brought to the station yesterday on a charge of cruelty to chil- dren, it being claimed that she intention- ally burned Lucy Russell’s arm with a fot iron. It was brought out, through questioning, that the burn had been given accidentally, and the woman was released. a A Fearful Crime. ‘The two boys, Robert and Nathaniel Coombs, thirteen and eleven years of age, sons of Steward Coombs of the stcamer France, who were arrested with a man named Fox, charged with murdering Mrs. Coombs, the mother of the boys, by stab- bing her to death while she was asleep at her residence at Plaistow, a suburb of Lon- don, July 8, were formally charged with murder at the Westham police court yestar- day. The police showed that the elder bey alone committed the deed. Nathaniel was discharged. Robert and Fox were committed for trial. The only reason given fer the crime was that Mrs. Coombs whip- ped the younger of the two boys. The body Jay in the house nine days. When discov- ered the boys were playing cords.

Thomas Dixon Pronounces the Dispene sary a Gigantio Snocess. Blind Tigers Are Running, but the Absence of the Saloon Works Well. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBIA, 8. C., July 26.—The Rey. Tom Dixon, the well-known New York preacher, made a lecturing tour through South Carolina recently, ard he seems to have ‘observed closely the dispensary law and its workings. The following opinion of it expresesd by him is taken from a pri- vate letter of a gentieman in New York to a friend in South Carolina. Said the Rev. Tom: “The state closed up all the bar rooms and opened up instead places where all forms of liquors could be bought, from the finest to the poorest, but none of it could be consumed on the place. The offi- cer in charge has no interest in the profits or success of the business, as he gets a sal- ary. It was inaugurated and put into effect by the Cyclone Tillman, then governor, now United States Senator. It met with the greatest opposition and the severest criticism, but anything from him would have been the same. I honestly believe that if an angel had stood on St. Michael's, in Charleston, and sald that it was a di- vine order that the dispensary be estab- Ushed, it would have been the means of keeping the whole people from church, such Was the feeling against it when it was established. Now, I say, without fear of contradiction, that it is working with ben- “efit to the. vast majority of the people. “I spent twenty-four hours in Charleston, and went through the roughest portions of the city until 1 o'clock in the morning, and never saw any city so quiet, except Port- land, Me., and there the same conditions exist, except the South Carolina law is a poor edition of the Maine law, where liquor is sold only on prescription. In South Car- olina it is sold to any one. The revenue feature of the dispensary law is its worst feature. I never saw a man or woman in the city under the influence of liquor. I spent the Fourth of July in a city of 8,000 in South Carolina, where hagf the population is colored, and not an arrest was made for drunkenness or for disorderly conduct. I did not see one person in the slightest un- der the influence of lgvor. “They drink in South Carolina, of course, but as you lessen the temrtation you lessen the drunkenness. They have eight dispen- saries in Charleston now instead of three hundred bar rooms, and instead of all the attractions of a first-class bar room they present nothing mcre attractive to the passerby than the plainest hardware store, where you buy tenpenny nails and monkey wrenches, Oh, no, no one ever thinks of going to a dispensary on account of its attractiveness. You see only the shelves, with the goods stacked away on them, and a plain bulletin board on the wall, giving iu detail the latest price on the goods. “The blind tigers are running, and just as it always was, any fool can get drunk without going to the dispensary—can get drunk at any time. I believe that South Carolina, with her impulsiveness and her disposition to lead, has given to the world the solution of the whisky problem, and that it could be extended to the other forty- odd states with advantage to civilization.” —— DOUBLE LIFE. Broker Colgate’s Clandestine Home Breaks Up His Virm. Starr Colgate,the Wall street financier,has been sued for divorce by his wife Adelaide in the New Jersey court of chancery at ‘Trenton. Mrs, Belle Bassett it named 2s corespondent. Mr. Colgate has a beautiful home, @ charming and loving wife and two children in Bloomfield, J. In an apartment at No. 9 Christopher street he is said to have an- other home with Mrs. Bassett. The banking house of Nesslage, Colgate & Co., No. 29 Wall street, is known in all the financial centers of the world. Mr. Colgate went to his home tast Friday and found his wife and childrea on the porch. Barely noticing her, he played fora few minutes with his little son. Then he entered the house, packed away a number of his belongings and went away, leaving a note saying he would never return. In the apartment house at No. 9 Christo- pher street Mr. Colgate is known as Mr. Bassett. He and Mrs. Bassett have been living there for a long time in the well- furnished apartmerts on the second floor, the finest in the house.
