While Mr. Geo. Colbert, a car inspector at the Washington Southern freight yard in this city, was driving in a light wagon with his wife on Queen street yesterday after- noon the horse was frightened by an elec- tric car at the corner of Payne street and ran. Turning suddenly the wagon was up- set In a Gitch and threw both of {ts occu- pants out. Mr. Colbert was dragged some distance by the reins and was badly cut on the head and hands. “Mrs. Colbert was taken from under the wagon with an ugly cut on her head afd a number of painful trulses. They were both taken to the heuse of their daughter, Mrs. Annle At- well, near by, and Dr. Klipstein dressed their wounds, which are not considered dangerous. Myor's Court. Justice Luther Thompson presided at the mayor’s court this moraing an] passed judgment on the following cases: James Richardson, a young white man, for an assault on Lee Geutzberger, a private night watchman; fined $5. Peter Kitts, colored, for assaulting Jomes Robinson, also col- ored, with a chair; $2. Clem Green, Thos. Triplett and Victoria Green, charged by Adam Jefferson with assault on him. The evidence was to the effect that Jefferson ill-treats his wife, and she came here to avoid him. He raised the disturbance and was made to pay the cost of the warrant. All of these people are colored, the Jeffe sons being from Washington. Alphonso Arrington was in court again this morn- ing, this time on a cherge of selling liquor without a license.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: It has been gratifying to me to note the responses which my letter in last Friday's Star called forth, as they have encouraged the belief that others have entertained the opinion that Washington needs a modern music hall. In your issue of Monday last there appeared a letter signed by Mr. Gus A. Schuldt, which, while favorable to the need of a, new music hall,expressed a doubt that the project could be made feasible for the reason that want of space would pre- vent the Y. M. C. A. from devoting as much of it to a music hall as would be needed; he also thought the rehearsals would inter- fere with the regular exercises of the asso- ciation. As regards the former objection, all that need be said is this: The Y. M. C. A. has expertenced the discomforts of a crowded home; let it provide against this inconvenience in building tho new one; and, aga!n, the new home of the asso- ciation should be one for the future of the association, and its future can be gauged by the future of Washington; a home that would be ample in size now would cer- tainly be much too small in ten years’ time. Washington ts growing fast. We belleve in its future. ‘The ¥. M. C. A. is growing very fast, and we know its future. And now as regards the matter of music hall; perhaps to make {t sound more in keeping with the needs of a Y. M. C. A. building, I ought to call it an auditorium, fitted with a pipe organ, where 2,000 peo- ple (all members let us hope) might assem- bje at stated times to take part in the ser- vice of the association; where church con- tions could meet, where the lectures be given, and for all purposes, where the organ could be used to accompany the congregational singing, or as solo instru- ment, under the hands of such great organ- ists as have visited these parts of late ears—Alex. Guilmont, for example, who s in our city, but could not be heard in concert because we had no hall equipped with an organ where he could play. Second- ary to all of this, ff you like, but still a source of revenue not to be despised by the association directors, a source of entertain- ment and of broad musical instruction, the Choral Society might, yes, would, use. this hall regularly for rehearsing and giving concerts. Is it not expected that the membership of the Y. M. C. A. shall exceed 1,200 or 1,500? Will they not exceed 2,50)? And where can they: ba congregated: together iwithin thelr own home unless they have an auditorium capable of seating from ? ‘The ¥. M. C. A., whose purpose is the ment of mankind, will surely recog- le ‘and powerful influ- nded on to reach the atrol his better nature, when argum! reasoning fail; there re its encouragement fs in the line of work, and at this time the greatest help {t can give to the art is to take up this matter of an auditorium, and decide s for the new home 00 and equipped D.

Old Officers Chogep by the Typo- graphical Union. President George A. Tracy and Secretary F. H, Padgett of the Cclumbia Typographi- cal Union, No. 101, were yesterday re- elected for the ensuing year by dverwhelm- ing majorities. There was a large crowd at the G street headquarters of the local printers last night to witness the final canvass of the vote. There was an un- usually heavy vote polled in view of the fact that there was so little excitement over the election. Twelve hundred ballots Were received and counted by the five judges who were named in The Star last evening. It was about 3 o'clock this morn- ing when the judges completed the count and announced the result on the two con- tests in the field as follows: For presi- dent, Tracy, 742; Triplett, 271. For sec- retary, Padgett, 751; Usilton, 260. The rest of the ticket, the candidates being un- opposed, was chosen without contention, as follows: Vice president, E. G. Farrell; treasurer, J.-J. Higgins; sergeant-at-arms, R. E. Hardwicke; doorkeeper, Granville Harford; trustee for the full term, T. M. for the unexpired term, J. J. Sulli- van. ——_ — EXCURSIONS. The Banjo, Mandolin and GiNtar Club of the District of Columbia give an excur- sion to River View tomorrow evening on the palace steamer Pentz. Three boats will leave at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. to accommodate the many who will proba- bly take the trip. A great number of at- tractions have been provided and it is ex- pected that it will be one of the most en- joyable and successful excursions of the season: The club will give two concerts, one on the grounds and one on the steamer coming heme, besides which there will be a waltzing contes® for which a handsome gold medal has been offered. A number of solos, duets and trios, both instru- mental and vocal, are on the program, in- cluding Sam Mockabee, basso; Thornton Fisher, flute soloist; Ed. Redfield, banjoist; the Graham brothers and others. The glee club, which is incorporated in the man- dolin club, will also render several selec- tions. Arth’s orchestra will render the music for the regular dancing. There are few excursions which offer the advantages that the Ericsson line from Bal- timore to Philadelphia is doing. The steemers leave Baltimore for Philadelphia, Cape May, Atlantic City, Asbury Park and Lorg Branch, the prices being exceedingly moderate, and a cnance is afforded for a ten days’ sea trip thet bids fair to be a most enjoyable one. Daylight trips are made Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the beautiful Chesapeake is thus thrown open.to the eye by sunlight. The return trips are good for ten days. Tick- ets are sold for the season. This line af- fords a cheap route to all of the Atlantic watering places. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening trips to Marshall Hall and Indian Head are becoming more popular every day. The regular Thursday trip takes place tonight, and it is confidently expected that the crowd will exceed all past days In num- bers. The night will be moonlight, and there is nothing more delightful than a sail down the picturesque Potomac to the Head and return. Those who care to avail them- selves of the attractions at the Hall may do so, while those who have been there all day may take the trip to Indian Head in the evening. Schroeder’s Orchestra will render the music for the dancing, and se- lections on the down trip will .be given by the same band. ————— Marine Band Music. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Iam an old band man, having played the cornet for years, and did considerable ar- ranging for brass and reed instruments, and it makes ime tired when I hear people who don’t know cne note from another, who never blew their brains out on an E flat bugle or clawed a twelve-keyed clario- net or played arms-length with a slide trombone, descant upon the beauties of certain pieces of music as played by the Marine Band of the present day at these out-door concerts. Ncw, the Marine Band has some excellent musicians in its make- up—the .leader, Fanciulli, is nq doubt a master in his profession—but when you hear the band nowadays there appears to te something wantirg, a void that isn't filled, a sort of straining after odd effects that makes your imaginatten fairly ache to try to interpret. I don’t know how others are affzcted, but when I set out te hear a military band give an open-air con- cert, get a good seat, and settle myself back, witn a 5-cent spotted Cubano, to en- joy the music, I am completely disgusted when I hear a favorite old march, waltz, polka or mazurka, with which old asso- ciations are tenderly clustered, all battered to pieces by spasmodic explosions, broken time, interpolations, in the way of filp- flops, andante and allegro passages, all so foreign to the theme with which I am fa- millar that when it is finished I hardly recognize the corpse, and, after a sigh of 1elief, mentally thank God that it was no worse. This distortion and unpopular in- vasion is what produces, what old band men used to call jim-jam music—incoherent, disconnected, howling, wild and_unsatis- factory. When a march is intended to be played we generaily associate ourselves with keeping step to the music, and en- deavor to absorb enthusiasm as we ad- vance, but under the present system of rendition we woull, at the end-of eight or sixteen bars, be hopping, skipping, jurfip- ing or limping, like a boy with a stubbed toe, if we attempted to follow the time. Out of forty musicians there ought to be more yolume produced. As it is, one has got to be within whispering distance al- most to the band to catch the whole of the tune. This false. idea of dwindling down a grand march or waltz to the limit of a/| single hautboy or the tootle-tootle of the flute, the groan of the French horn, the shrill piping of the piccolo or the ele- phantine grunt of the single tuba, with a quick, spasmodic explosion of drums and intermediate instruments, and a wild clash- ing of cymbals, may constitute what is commonly called delicate phrasing, but the Lord deliver my ear from the torture. Let the bend play the tune right straight through as the time indicates, without the broken-baéked accompaniments, and now and then give us Capt. (Sheppard's Quick- step, old but famous; “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming,” “Beautiful Dream- er, “Lurlin2,”” “Anvil Chorus,” etc., and win new laurels and good opinions.

I. The model of the heroic equestrian statue of General Winfield Scott Hancock, made iu this city by Sculptor J. H. Elliott, has been received by the Gorham Manufac- turing Company of Providence, R. LE, and is being transformed into enduring bronze. The figure of the soldier is seated in an easy attitude on a spirited horse, which the rider has reined in. The animal is one hundred and eight inehes high, or one and a half times life size. The rider stand- ing would measure eight feet in height. The bronze of the statue will be one-quar- ter of an inch thick, andi the casting will ccst $50,000. The pedestal will be of Jones- bero’, .Me., granite, and nineteen feet in height. . It is simple in design, the prin- cipal ornamentation being a rich carved cartouche of granite, surmounted by an eagle with spread wings and by @ wreath of oak leaves tied with a knot of ribbon. As has already been stated in The Star, this statue will be erected in the triangu- lar reservation at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street. pe Ee The Control of Dogs. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: I see it stated that the Commissioners have instructed the police to seize all dogs running at large and impound or destroy them indiscriminately, whether wearing & tag or not! Would it not be well for them to determine whether they have authority for such an order? Section 4, chapter 3, of statutes passed in 1878 provides expressly that “any dog wearing a tag, as heretofore provided for, shall be permitted to run at large in the District of Columbia and shall be regarded as personal property,” * * * “and any person injuring or destroying the same shall be lable to a civil action for dam- ages,” &c. Section 11 of the same chapter also de- clares that “dogs shall be deemed and held to be perscnal property.” - It is true that the Commissioners are empowered by statute “to segulate the keeping and running at large of dogs and fowls,” and ‘‘prescribe rules for taking up and impounding domestic animals found running at large,” &c. But does this authorize them to “regu- late’ the statutory law out of existence? Can they repeal the law? Does noz the citizen who pays his money and complies with the tax law secure a vested right to have his-dog run at large? Of what use or benefit is the tag if the owner has to keep the dog confined? If dogs thus taxed and tagged be personal property can even our Commissicners, though backed by the opinion of the district attorney, take and confiscate them without “just compensa- tion?” Yet, in case of extraordinary emergency, as the prevalence of hydro- phobia, public welfare might justify a regulation which would banish all dogs from the streets. But to justify such ac- tion, should not the exigency exist and should it not be set forth in the “recula- tion,” which, to have force, must be “printed in one or more of the daily pa- pers,” &c. A FRIEND OF TRAY. ees Unsheltered and Inconvenient Traus- fer Points. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Now that Mr. Schoepf (the originator, I am informed, of the wonderful plan) has resigned from the Belt Line railroad, it is to be hoped that the new management will return to the method in vogue on that road prior to his advent as its manager. With hundreds of other ladies, who live on that line, who go to market, I protest as v:gor- ously as it is possible against being forced to leave the car at lth and E streets, with sometimes a heavy basket, and stand with- out shelter in rain or heat, until the arrival of the 11th street car. The same remarks, relating to shelter, apply to the transfer at lith and O streets, Won't you, please, use. your powerful in- flueace to correct this abuse of the public?

It Jel1-co2m COMMUTERS WANT BETTER RATES. Action Taken by Travelers Between Baltimore and Washington. A meeting of commuters traveling on the railroad between Baltimore and Washing- ton was held Monday. A resolution was adopted by the meeting that the number of rides on the commutation tickets should be reduced to 160 instead of 189, as 100 is in all cases sufficient for all practical pur- reses. It was further agreed that the commuta- tion fare should be reduced in proportion to the ticket, that is to say, that instead of charging $34 for a commutation ticket the price should now be $30. The subject was also discussed looking to a reduction of the regular fare. It was held that there is ne good reason why the round-trip ticket to Baltimore should be reduced Saturdays and Sundays to $1.25, while it is $2 during the week. It would encourage a more in- timate business relation between the two cities and bind them together more closely in a social way, it was claimed, if, the roun ‘ip ticket was made $1.25 for’ all the time. ‘A committee of several of the leading business men of both Washington aaa Baltimore was appointed to request modification of the rates by the railroad, They are Messrs. A. H. Bailey, J. J. Sgaane, C. W. Schwarzkoph, Mr. Louis Kann, James McDonough, B. Frank and P.
