At an Evening Session of the Crimi- mal Court the Whole Story is Gone Over in Detail. More than fifty almond-eyed celestials assembled in Judge Miller's temple of jus- tice last night, and there was a good scat- tering of persons other than Chinamen In the audience. Judge Miller had ordered that all the parties to the Chinese consp!- tacy and threat cases be in court at 6:30 c'clock, but the judge was nearly an hour late in reaching court. This delay gave the Chinamen an opportunity to shake hands and converse with ladies and gentle- men gaid to be interested in one of the several. Chinese Sunday schools. These People seemed friendly with those who were interested in the prosecution. Worry Charles of New York and Moy Mow of Chi- cago were present as interpreters, as was Mrs. Collins, who appears on almost every occasion of a Chinese trial. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny was as- sisted by Col. W. A. Cook and C. W. Smith, while Lawyers John A. Clark, W. E. Augh- irbaugh and Hugh M. Sterling represented the defendants, who were not in custody, but who had beer released on bail at the time of their arrest. Several of the witnesses were Chinamen, while two cclored women, one of whom has a white husband, and two members of the police force also appeared on the stand. Sue Gow, Moy Ah Sing and Charlie Bing were the defendants, the other Chinamen charged not having been arrested. The Testimony Heard. The unfinished case of Sue Gow was first called, and then the other cases were triec, As usual, the Hip Sing Town Club played an important part in the trial. This club, it is claimed by the prosecuting witnesses, is composed of the alleged conspirators, only a few in number; but the others claim that they are afraid of them, and some of them swore that they gave money to the defendants because they feared them, while others refused their alleged de- mands and are still living to tell the story. Several times during the hearing Worry Charies accused Moy Chow of sug- gesting statements to the witnesses. Hip Ching Lung, a storekeeper, was th first celestial put on the stand, and his ev dence was given to show that he was afraid of the defendants. He said that he had sold goods to the extent of $13.38, and had them charged to the Hip Sing Town ul Ah Yuen gave evidence in which he said he was told that if he did not give $10 to the Hip Sing Town he would suffer. This was to pay his initiation, and Sue Gow told him that if he did not pay the taxes he would have trouble. “Are you afraid of Sue Gow sir,” he answered; afraid of him.” “Are you a member of the Hip Sing Town?” , sir.”” is the meaning of Hip Sing “Hip Sing Town are dangerous people.” “How about Sue Gow” “He's a dangerous man.” The Hip Sing Town Club. Witness sa‘d he understood that the Hip Sing Town never paid any debts contracted, but he had this bill charged on his books. He sald he had been in the club room three times. On cross-examination, witness said he was a member of a secret society, composed of law-abiding citizens, who are Chri: They want to earn money and go b: China to support their families. Mary Crown, the colored woman who has a white husband, gave evidence concerning the time when she first saw Sue Gow in Ah Sing's laundry. Sue Gow was put on the stand, and he made a denial of the charge against him. When questioned concerning the rooms on the third floor of his house, he said he had his God up there. He denied that there was any sign over his door. Policeman Hartigan said that Ah Sing had told him he was afraid of the other Chinamen. Ah Sing and Moy Foon, he said, had informed on others, and when a raid was made they begged’ that their names should not be used, as they feared they would get killed. If you use my name,” Foon said, “the will make me leave the city or kill me. He never heard that Moy Foon had put notes under the door of the police station and disappeared. After the court had heard other evidence, Charlie Bing was put on the stand, and he told of the trouble about cutting the rate. About four of them, he said, had cut the rate, und the others had threatened them. He sald it was now almost Impossible for him to get a Chinaman to work for them, as they were afgaid. Ah Sing also made ¢ ental y Bound Over. Counsel argued on behalf of the defend- ants that the case was a gigantic absurd- ity, and Lawyer Clarke argued that it was absurd to even imagine that four mea could form a conspiracy and injure more than three hundred others. These four men were doing cheap work, and arrayed against them was the union, composed of nearly all the other Chinamen. He repeated the remarks of his associates that the pros- ecution was a gigantic absurdity. Judge Miller went over the proof in the case, and in reaching what he said was not a conclusion, he said the proof showed him that there was some trouble existing between the factions, and thé proof con- vinced him that there should be a full in- vestigation of the affair. There was a con- spiracy on one sid or the other, and f he had the final disposition of the case he would not say what he would do. The three defendants were held for the grand jury, and bond was fixed at $300. ——_—_ PRINCE GEORGE'S DEMOCRATS. Nominations Made by the County Con- vention.

At its meeting last evening the Benning Citizens’ Association had a very lively visitor in the person of Mr. Max Oppen- heimer, who came as a representative of the Butchers’ Association, to endeavor to get the Citizens’ Association to back down from its position in reference to the driving of live stock over the Benning road during the daytime. Vice President Mewshaw was in the chair, and, under propositions for membership, Mr. John Boland proposed the name of Mr. Frederick Maynard for membership, and, on moticn, that gentleman was duly elected. The secretary then read the min- utes of July 16, which were adopted. The road committee made its “report to the effect that the Commissioners had been waited on in reference to the driving of live stock over the road, aud that the full board had recommended that the butchers appear before the Benning Asso- ciation and come to some agreement lLe- fore they would take action. On motion the report was accepted. Complaint was then made that the Baltimore and Ohio gong’ was out of order, and the chair in- structed the railroad committee to look after the same. Under the head of new business, Mr. Op- penheimer, representing the Butchers’ As- sociation, made a statement to the effect that his people wanted the privilege of driving cattle over the road during the daytime on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of each week, and tne additional privilege of driving sheep during any day of the week. The opposition to this plan was very pronounced. Mr. Mewshaw spoke of the danger to the lives of the women and children of Benning, and was opposed to such a sweeping concession. Mr. France thought the killing of cattle, etc., should be done at the public abattoir at this place, thus obviating the necessity of driving so much stock over the road. Dr. Brayshaw laid great stress on the natural timidity of women and childre’ nd he thought they were entitled to every means of protection that can possibly be thrown around them. After considerable spirited discussion it was finally, on motion, decided to be the sense of the association that the driving of any and all kinds of live stock over the Benning road be limited to the hours from 10 o’clock p.m. until $8 o’clock a.m., and the road committee was instructed to so in- form the Commissioners. The monthly topic for discu: » “Child Life and the Kindergarten,” was then taken up and_ thoroughly sae dled by Messrs. Mewshaw, Boiand and Brayshaw. The ¢t ist was an- nounced to be ing in the Public Schools,” and, on motion, the last meeting night In August was set aside for its discussion, and the committee on union $3 was instructed to make suitable announcement to the end that a good crowd will be present to take Part {n the discussion. The meeting then adjourned, —_>___ THE ELECTRICAL CONVENTION. President Berger Gets Encouraging Advices From St. Louis. President John M. Berger of Local Unton, No. 26, Electrical Workers, who, -vith his colleagues, 1s, as has been from time to time mentioned in The Star, doing his ut- most to secure the coming convention of the National Brotherhood in this city, to- day received a letter from Mr. J. T. Kelly, grand secretary-treasurer of the National Brotherhood at St. Louis, in which, after thanking Mr. Berger for copies of The Star containing an editorial on the subject of tke convention and other matters connected therewith, 2 “I am pk te that, as far as heard from, Washington is in the lead, and si 8 to be favored by all eastern unions. ‘The matter of the convention has not yet been officially brought before the St. Leuis union, but members who think they have a chance of being elected delegates. seem anxious to have the convention in Washington, as they would like to make the trip. The question will be brought up at the next meeting.”” Mr. Bei has also received a letter from 1 sioner of the Central Trunk Line Traffic Association, assuring him that the usual reduction of rates will be ac- corded to the delegates and all others who desire to attend the convention. ——— FAREWELL BANQUET.

Grand Opera House.—Mr. Charles Coote has reason to be proud of the benefit that was tendered to him at the Grand Opera Hcevuse last evening. The audience filled every seat and the lobby at the back was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, who stood up during the entire performance. It was an evidence, not only of Mr. Coote's personal popularity, but of the regard in which those of the different comedy com- panies who assisted in the program are held by the Washington public. The au- dience was a generous and enthusiastic one, and the reception accorded each per- former was most hearty, while, at the end of the third act of “@aste,” there was a regular ovation. All the professionals Were brought upon the stage and there Were numerous speeches made. First Mr. E. B. Hay, who acted as master of cere- monies during the evening, made a few complimentary remarks and then presented Miss Liilian Lawrence, with a handsome souvenir from her lady"friends. Mr. Bond got rid of making a speech in the neatest possible manner, but Mr. Coote was com- pelled to make his acknowledgments, which he did. in an exceedingly, graceful manner, making several happy hits, which were duly applauded. Miss Lawrence then acknowledged her appreciation of the gift which Mr. Hay had handed her, and final- ly Miss Mary Sanders was compelled to say a few words of thanks for the rousing reception she received. The dramatic portion of the program con- sisted of the third act of “Caste” and a bright skit called ‘‘Man Proposes.” In the former Mr. Frederic Bond was seen in the character part of Eccles, which he played in an excellent manner. Mr. Coote was Sam Gerridge, a part that he made successful; Mr. Chas. Mackey was a hand- some George D’Alroy; Mr. Wm. Boag, an effective Capt. Haw: Miss Lilllan Law- rence, a ladylike und spirited Esther; Miss Sanders, the best Polly that has been seen in this «city, and Miss Abbie Johnsoz, a dignified Marquise. There was a real baby introduced, which made an instantaneous hit. ‘Man Proposes” only took ‘hree peo- ple, Mr. Coote, Miss Lawrence and Miss Eunice Ward. Mr. Covte was effective as Cept. Finter and Miss Lawrence was yivactous and charming as Miss Campbell. She gave evidence of her versatile accom- rlishments by singing the “Little Alabama Coon,”" which caugat the house, and was obliged to be repeated. Miss Ward made a bright soubrette, and deserves warm praise for her excellent work. The other volunteers included the Mt. Pleasant Field Band, Miss Frances Stevens, who recitel “The Whistling Regi ment;’" Miss Corinne Adele Parker, who gave the potion scene from “Romeo and Juliet;” Bix the tramp bartender, who played upon several musical instruments: the Apollo Quartet, who were obliged to sing two selections; little Elsie Lower, the child darseuse, and Mr. J. J. Fisher, w! sang the toreador song from “Carmen and Faure’s “Palms.” The benefit was the ssful that bas ever been given realizing about $1,500, at pop- Not the least factor in this ular_prices, result by any means was Mr. Albert Rid- dle, who had entire business management of the affair. Bijou Theater._Mr. Wm. H. Easton will again manage the Bijou Theater next sea- son. He was the first to intreduce popular price amusements in this city, when he managed what was known as the Herzog Opera House, which was Lincoln Tiall, transformed into a theater. When that building was burned he assumed charge of the Bijou, and then went to Cincinnati, where he had the management of the Rob- inson Opera Houss. He expects to open the Bijou early in September. EXCURSIONS. The employes of Charles Baum's estab- lishment took their fourth annual outing to Marshall Hall last evening on _ the steamer Macalester. The boat was crowd- ed by the members of the Aid Association, under the auspices of which the excursion was given, and the friends of the employes, and a merrier, happier gathering has nev indulged in an outing to this popular re- sort. When the Hall was reached there were two attractions for the enjoyment of the guests. One of these was the Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. Fanci- ulli, and the other was the dancing. The Marine Bind gave an excellent lawn con- cert, which was heartily appreciated by those who took advantage of the opportu- ity to hear good music. The dancing pa- lion was crowded, and, in fact, every- thing at the Hall which could leg enjoy- ment to the occasion was brought into ser- vice. The return home was a very pleas- ant one, and the moonlight added a great deal to the general effect of the trip. The committee in charge of the excursion, to whom a great deal of credit is due for the success of the enterprise, was composed cf Messrs. L. Baum, B. Baruch, A. Kuntz, D. Baum, H. Baruch and S. Mockabee. An excursion will be given to Bay Ridge tomorrow by John F. Reynolds Post, No. 6, of this city, in conjunction with sixteen Grand Army posts and Scns of Veterans’ camps of Baitimore. The Old Guard will accompany the excursionists, and it is ex- pected that one of the most successful out- ings of the season will be the result of the combined efforts of the large number of organizations. A number of athletic sports have been scheduled to take place, and prizes will be given to the successful ones in each event. The committee of arrang ments is as follows: M. M. Lewis, chair- ™m: Fred. G. Calvert, secretary; P. M. O’Brycn, Frank L. McKerna, S. E. Faunce, N. M. Brocks, George E. Corson, Chaplain W. H. Gotwald, D. D., H. M. Bennett, W. N.

In com- pany with his daughter, Mrs. Bessie Hoop- er, and her son, Senator Stewart had vis- ited Chevy Chase. The cars had come to a full stop, and as Mr. Stewart stepped down his leg caught against the end of a seat, he slipped and struck his knee. Policeman Watson and the conductor of the car hastened to the assistance of Sen- ator Stewart, who was suffering excruciat- ing pain, and unable to walk. A cab was summoned and the injured man removed to his home, where medical aid was render- ed.
