Srowden Hill of Prince George's county, a republican and ex-collector of internal revenue under President Harrison, has been appointed by Gov. Brown of Maryland a visitor to the deaf and dumb asylum at Frederick, vice the late ex-Gov. Oden Bowie. Mr. J. Harris Stonestreet, a prominent citizen of Charles county, died at hia Lome, near La Plata, Morday night, after a Ungering illne: ‘The deceased was s‘rick- en with paralysis over four years ago and had two other attacks subsequently, the jast one about a year ago, leaving him in a helpless condition. Mr. Stonestreet was a brother of ex-Clerk of the Circuit Court B. G. Stonestreet, and of Mrs. Frederick Stone. He was in his sixty-ninth year. During the late war he was second lieutenant in Capt. Wm. F. Dement's battery of con- federate artillery and distinguished him- self for his courage on many of the hotly contested battlefields. An effort will be made at the next meet- ing of the Anacostia Citizens’ Assocla- tion to take the preliminary steps toward getting an increase of the police force on duty in that part of the District. Sev- eral incidents which have occurred duriag the past few weeks, notably the robbery of Mrs. Ford's house on Saturday morning last, the attempted robbery of Mr. David- son cn Minnesota avenue and also of an- other young man a short time pricr to that event, and other matters of a less ce- rious ‘but quite important nature, have served to convince leading citizens that the time fs ripe for asking for more policemen for service in Anacostia, and it is belleved that the request will be granted as soon as it is in the power of the Commissioners to do si The Hillsdale Citizens’ Association will have their regular monthly meeting to- night at the residence of Secretary Pendle- ton. It is understood that a large amount of business has been considered by the va- rious committees and will be brought te- fore the fuil body at the meeting. There 1s some talk among the republicans of Anacostia and Hillsdale of holding a meeting to consider the question of taking Bn interest in the selection of a delegate to the next national republication conven- + tion. It fs understood that Lawyer John A. Moss will take an active part in »ppos- ing the claims of Col. Perry Carson for the honor, Moss claiming that some one who can awaken more interest in the District than Carson has succeeded in doing here- tofore ought to be selected for the position. Mr. William Elliott, whose home is near Silver Hill, Md., is lying in a critical condi- tion, as the result of an accident Saturday last. Mr. Elliott was visiting his brother, Mr. Edward Elliott, and he had gone into a hay loft for some purpose, when he step- ped into a chute, which he had not noticed was unprotected at the time, and fell a considerable distance to the floor below, striking upon the edge of some barrels. Mr. Elliott's nose was broken, and he was also otherwise badly hurt about the head. Surgical aid was promptly summoned, but it is feared the unfortunate man cannot long survive. A rumor is in circulation in Anacostia and vicinity that the man Were, who, as stated in The Star of yesterday, was ar- rested Monday on 1ith street southeast, Washington, as a suspicious character by Officer Anderson of Anacostia, is the party wanted on the charge of assaulting Mrs. Lucy Hall, and the latter will today go to the workhouse, where Ware has been sent, to see if she can identify him. —.—__ BROOKLAND.

Many people from Washington and the vicinity of Brookland were present, also several of the clergy from Washington and an Ohio temperance delegation. Miss Horstcamp and Miss Tate made effective gypsies, and Miss Alma Noyes, with her many little assistants, ably looked after the grab bag. Mr. J. C. Noyes, Mr. Joseph Burg and Capt. Baumer by various means kept a crowd around the paddle booth, at which a large amount was brought in. The dance music was furnished by a part of the Carroll Institute Orchestra, which played many fine selections, and the dancing was looked after by the committee.

The board of town commisioners met last night at the office of Justice Carr,with F. H. Smith in the chair. There was a fuil at- tendance. The road committee, consisting of Messrs. Aman, White and Emmons, in compliance with a recent order passed by the board, that it examine the condition of the roads and streets of the town and report whatever improvements it deemed necessary, submitted a report, recommend- ing the following improvements: That Maryland avenue be graded by cutting down the hill in front of the Presbyterian parsonage about two feet at the highest point, and gradually cutting each way to the present level of the street, the roadway to be rounded up and graveled from the bridge to the railroad crossing at Johnson avenue. That the upper part of the road- way of this street be graded and graveled where necessary, from Wells avenue to about the north line of the Baukhages property. The committee recommended that as the town had full control of the whole street only as far as the north line of the prop- erty of Mr. W. H. Richardson it would be best before beginning the work on this part of the roadway for the board to confer with the county commissioners and the proprie- tors of F.iverdale Park, with a view to an equitable division of the cost of the work; that the sidewalk on Johnson avenue be- tween Maryland and Wine avenues be re- laid, the sidewalk to be five feet wide, of brick and laid to lines and grade given by @ surveyor under the direction of this com- mittee; that a drain pipe be laid from the lower end of Mr. Welsh’s drain to Mary- land avenue, a distance of 958 feet; that an eight-inch terra cotta pipe be also laid from Mr, Welsh’s drain to the pipe that crosses Johnson avenue below the school house, a distance of 425 feet, and that a twelve-inch pipe be laid frcm that point to the sewer pipe at Maryland avenue, a dis- tance of 533 feet; that there be five lateral drains of seven feet each to carry off the water from the lots abutting the sidewalk; that the crossing at Ravenswood avenue, intersecting with Johnson avenue, consist- ing of 40 feet, be paved with two rows of blue flagging, 12 inches each, and three rows of blue block 12 inches each; that Ravenswood avenue be graded and graveled and a brick sidewalk 4 feet wide be laid on one side, the side to be determined by the commissioners; that the brick sidewalk on Spencer street be continued 4 feet wide to Wine avenue, 535_feet, and that the crossings at Olive and Avon streets, con- sisting of 8) feet, be paved either with blue block or brick; that Avon avenue be graded by cutting down the abrupt hfll near Spen- cer street about 2 feet and gradually grad- ing each way, the roadway to be graveled for a distance of 700 feet from Spencer street, and that a gravel sidewalk 4 feet wide on the west side of the street, to ex- tend from Spencer street to Mr. Tise’s gate, a distance of about 700 feet; that the side- walk on Marion street be relaid, a distance of 133 feet, and a new sidewalk be laid from the point where the present sidewalk ends to Olive street, 17 feet, the roadway to be rounded up, graded and graveled where needed; that a brick pavement 4 feet wide be laid on the north side of Guy avenue for a distance of 343. feet from Maryland avenue, and the roadway be graded; that a drain pipe 15 inches in diameter be laid in the alley between Ralston and Littlefield avenues, to connect with the pipe under Littlefield avenue, a distance of 375 feet, and that the present pipe under Littlefield avenue be taken up and an 18-inch pipe laid in its place; that the board walks on Wine avenue between Littlefield and Wing Rest avenues be repaired, and that Prospect ave- nue from Columbia road to Mr. Emmond’s property be put in a better condition. The following estimate of the cost of these improvements to the town was made in the report: Maryland avenue, $300; Johnson avenue, $335.35; Ravenswood avenue, $53.07; Spencer street, $83.80; Avon avenue, $100; Marion street, $75; Guy avenue, $60; drain in the alley, $150; boardwalks, Wine and Little- field avenues, $20; Prospect avenue, $20. Total, $1,197.85. The report also staied that the estimated receipts of the present year for general taxes were $2,137.50; rebate from county on road taxes, $400. Total, $2,587.50. Expenses, $768.35. Balance left to expend upon improvements, $1,768.75. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Emmons and White, was appointed to prepare a plan for lettering the streets, with the cost of the work, and report the same at the next meeting. Mr. Hickey tendered bis resignation as assistant bailiff. It was re- ported that the Baltimore and Ohio Rdil- road Company, in compliance with the re- quest of the board, had removed the watch box at the crossing at Maryland avenue back into the reservation so as to leave the crossing free. On motion of Mr. H. O. Emmons the road committe was authorized to advertise for bids for improving Marion street and Avalon and Johnson venues, as recommended in its report. The bailiff was instructed to call the attention of all citi- zens whose gates were obstructing the streets by swinging open, to the town cr- dinance governing the same, and if it was not complied with within thirty days to see to {ts enforcement. The board then ad- journed subject to the call of the president. Mr. Marion Weeks of Washington will commence the erection of a handsome cot- tage at Riverdale the latter part of this week. Miss Kate E. Hurley, the second daugh- ter of the late Michael Hurley of Bladens- burg, died suddenly in Washington yester- day afternoon. Two young men from Washington, while driving in a road cart near Highlands, a few days since, were suddenly thrown out of the vehicle and badly hurt. The acci- dent happened just as they had crossed the track, and a few moments later an express train thundered by. Mr. Payne of Highlands took them to his house and dressed their wounds. CHEVY CHASE. William E. Curtis, assistant secretary of the treasury; Surgeon General Wyman of the United States marine hospital service and Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, are among the prominent gentlemen registered at the Chevy Chase Inn. . It Is the impression here that, although, according to the order of the circuit court of Montgomery county, Md., the Glea Echo electric railroad is to be offered for sale tomorrow to satisfy a mortgage, a pur- ebaser will not be found, and that the property will not change hands, at this time at least. The condition of the road and most of its equipment is exceedingly unattractive, the cars being old and dingy and the tracks for nearly their entire length of three miles from the junction with the Georgetown and Tenleytown clec- tric line to Glen Echo overgrown with grass and weeds. There is a hope and belief on the part of many residents of this section that the Glen Echo road will before long become the property of the new Capital Traction Company. There is a gap of but five-eighths of a mile between the Itock Creek road at Chevy Chase circlé and the Glen Echo road, and as but comparatively little heavy grading would have to be done the expense of building the necessary con- nection would be but small. In the event of this being brought about and the Glen Echo road brought up to that high state of efficiency which marks all the properties of the Capital Traction Company the latter will have a magnificent road from all parts of Washington to within one mile of Cabin John bridge. It is believed also that should the Capital Traction Company secure the control of the Glen Echo road Glen Echo will develop into a wonderfully popular resort for the people of Washington and the surrounding’ country, there being at the place all the elements which go to inake a country place attractive to the great majority of pleasure seekers. Mr. R. S. Shepherd, the Rock Creek rail- ay motorman who had one of his hands adly hurt Sunday last while fixing a steam pump for the company, has been notified by the latter that although he is at present unable to run a car they will see that he has such work, if he shall re- port for duty daily, as he is able to per- form, and thus earn as much money as he would if operating his car regularly. Despite reports to the contrary, it is understeod from excellent authority that the efforts which were being made a few days ago to secure an electric road from Anacostia to Congress Heights have not been abandoned, and the promoters of the enterprise yesterday received the assurance of a prominent Washington bank president that he is willing to do all in his power to make the proposed enterprise a success. Dr. A. M. Green and Mrs. Green, who have been visiting for some time past at Bedford Springs, Pa., have returned to their home in Anacostia. It is thought that the trip and consequent relaxation from the cares of business have served to benefit Dr. Green's health, which had not been at all good’ for several months pagt. “Policeman Allen, who has been sick for some time, is believed to be recovering. J The ladies of the Anacostia Baptist Church, Rev. H. T. Stevenson, pastor, held a lawn party last night in the grounds at- tached to the church, for the benefit of the mission at Fort Foote, Md. The Man- dolin Club was present and the program executed by it added much to the inter- est of the occasiop. The entire affair was successful in every particular. —_.___ KENSINGTON. The regular meeting of the town council was held Monday evening at the home of Mayor R. B. Detrick. Mr. William H. Mannakee was granted permission to fill in and grade the road on St. Paul street between Metropolitan avenue and the rail- road, at his own expense. Bailiff E. J. Kelley was ordered to make all necessary repairs to the sidewalks In North Kensing- The tax Ist for the year beginning July 1 was made out, and will be sent to taxpayers with the request for prompt set- tlement.

Thomas Lewis of Essex, Va., Rev. P. P. Flournoy of Bethesda Pres- byterian Church offered prayer, and the choir sang “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” The casket was laden with choice floral offer- ings, above which a white dove hovered. The remains were fellowed to their. last resting place in the cemetery adjoining Columbia Church by a long line of car- riages, containing Kensington friends and relatives, where they were met by a large assemblage who had gathered to pay a last tribute to their friend. “Think of the Home Over There” was sung by the choir. Dr. Charles Waters of Gaithersburg read the fourteenth chapter of St. John, and made a brief address.

Mr. Smithson, who was assisted in conducting the further services by Revs. Weller and Huronamus. The church was crowded, and a large num- ber remained outside, unable to find room inside.

H Walker, Friday afternoon and evening, the proceeds of which” will go to the purchase of hymn books and for furnishing the pulpit in the new church. The meeting of the Christian Endeavor- ers Sunday evening was very fully at- terded. The greater portion of the time was occupied by Mr. E. L. Robey, delegate ‘to the Boston convention, in a report of those meetings. The report, which occu- pied about fifty minutes in delivery, showed that much time had been spent and no effort lacking in its preparation, which was fully evidenced by the close attention of the audience from beginning to end, and by the many expressions of satisfaction heard after the close of the meeting. Mr. Robey testified, as have others, to the cor- diality of the welcome by the Boston En- deavorers. Mrs, I. H. Hoover and Miss Grace Lind- sey of Washington are boarders with Mrs. E. H. Rideout.

Fitzhugh Lee are among the speakers who have promised to attend and address the multitude. Information has been received here that Rev.

A letter received here contains the infor- mation that Mr, George Hale, who former- ly Iiyed in Fairfax county, died in St. Vin- cent’s Hospital, Norfolk, Monday, from the effects of wounds received at the hands of a man named Benjamin Brock. The de- tails of the affair are meager, but it is stated that the two gentlemen, who had not been on good terms for some time, met at Jones’ store, near Norfolk, late Satur- day night, and became involved in a difi- culty, during the course of which Mr. Hale knocked Mr. Brock fowh: The latter there- upon drew a revolvet éind fired twice, one shot taking effect ir Mr. Hale's abdonien and the other in his right shoulder. The wounded man was qonveyed to St. Vin- cent’s Hoepital, ac anied by a phys! cian, Sunday, but affer, lingering for about twelve hours he died; 5 Many ex-confederates of this vicinity have received copied of a-circular letter issued by Col.

Miss Wilson has accompanied Messrs. Moody and Sankey to almost every portion of the world where the noted evan- gelists have conducted gospel meetings. “The manner in which the Vienna Old Folks’ Concert Company entertained the citizens of Falls Church at a concert given recently in the latter town elicited the warmest commendations on the part of those who attended. The company render- ed in a masterly way a charming program, consisting of solos, chcruses and instru- mental music. The costumes were typical of colonial times, the men looking very dignified in their wigs and knee breeches, while the ladies wore particularly bewitch- ing gowns. Prof. John Hart of the Bowling Green Academy is dead. The ladies of Paeonian Springs made $100 recently to build board walks in the town by giving a baby show. The babies in that place have certainly proved themselves a blessing to the community. The recent visit of the Fairfax Conver- sational Club to Fairfax C. H., which was foreshadowed in The Star, proved to be a most delightful occasion. The object was to examine the relics of historical interest reposing in the court house of the famous old town. The annual meeting of the Fairfax County Medical Society was.held a few days ago at the residence of Dr. George B. Fadely, near here. Dr. Shute, one of -the members, favored the meeting with an interesting talk on “Diseases of the Eye in Gereral Practice,” and Dr. Middleton delivered an address on general subjects connected with practice. The election of officers resulted in the selection of the fol- lowing: President, Dr. L. F. Gott; vice presidents, Drs. G. B. Fadely and F. M. Brooks; secretary, Dr. A. R. Boswell; treasurer, Dr. T. M. Talbott; correspond- ing secretary, Dr. E. L. Detwiler. The next meeting will be held at Vienna in Novem- ber, when Dr. Middleton will, by request, read a paper on “Ancient Antiseptics,” and Drs.

Mr. Beall will be succeeded at Richmond by Mr: §. C. Whitehead, who has practically ren in charge of the office for some time The readers of The Star will remember that there was published in The Star of Monday the account of a thrilling adven- ture, In which Mr. Frank Tilford was the central figure, and during which he shot a man who attempted to rob him at an early hour In the morning a few days before at Berryville. Yesterday the suppased robber, who is a colored man, was found, in the woods near- ly ten miles from the scene of the shooting. The fellow had received:a pistol ball in the stomach, and his injuries are regarded as serious. The negro ae little to say in reference to the matfer, but, it Is under- stood, claims that the. two fellows who were with him abandgngd him atter acsist- ing him to get to place where the wounded man was found, his partners prob- ably being afraid that df they remained in the neighborhood any, Jonger all would be captured. os The capture of thg.jould-he robber is stated to be due to a hoy, who passed by where the man was lying. The Jatter told the boy he had beejj,.ahot, and had lain where he was for a couple of days, and asked the lad to get }im something to eat. The boy reported the matter to a farmer in the vicinity, and the latter sent word to Berryville, but meansyhjie made the fellow as comfortable as hé ould under the cir- cumstances. Subsequ: the man was taken to Berryville ahd lodged in jail, and the authorities of Clarke county have re- quested Mr. Tilford to come to Berryville and see if he can identify. the prisoner as the man who attempted to rob him. Mr, Tilford will comply with,the request, and although feeling qufte sure that the party under arrest is the guilty man, doubts, ow- ing to the extreme darkness of the night when his adventure occurred, his ability to identify his assailant. It is thought that the negro will recover. ———— i ROCKVILLE. A meeting of the board of school com- missioners was held here yesterday, at which a large amount of routine business wes transacted.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Perhaps the most remarkable and ex- tensive letter of credit ever written has just been resurrected, after having been shut from public view for ninety years. It is the famous writing of Thomas Jef- ferson to Capt. Meriwether Lewis, in 1803, giving authority to draw for any amount upon the departments at Washington city, and pledging the faith of the government of the United States that the drafts would promptly be paid. By a notable coinci- dence, the letter was written on the Fourth of July, by the same hand that drafted the Declaration of Independence. It helped to supply means whereby Lewis and Clarke, the renowned explorers, ascended the Missouri river, penetrated the fast- nesses of the Rocky mountains, and made their way down the Columbia to its mouth. But for that exploration, lasting for more than two years, the Louisiana purchase might not have been made. Until recently the existence of the letter was unknown, and the only copy was that among the records at Washington. But the original, in President Jefferson’s hand- writing, a short time ago turned up at Helena, Mont., sere with age, misshapen with numerous foldings and ‘“‘dog-eared.” In the First National Bank of Helena T. H. Kleinschmidt, the cashier, was greeted by a commercial traveler, who showed the letter found among some old papers. Kleinschmidt tried to buy it, but the owner steadfastly refused to part with it at any price. The commercial traveler, on golng to lunch a few moments after entering the bank, left the letter of credit for safe keeping with the cashier. No sooner had the owner turned the corner than Klein- schmidt went to a photographer. He suc- ceeded in getting a first-class negative before the commercial traveler returned to the bank and carried away the original. Kleinschmidt now preserves the negative and guards it with jealous care. So far as known, but two photographs have been taken from it. One of these fell into the hands of Bank Examiner Eugene Wilson, and from him passed to Bank Examiner Charles Clary of this city, and from it has been taken the copy printed in the Post- Intelligencer. The letter is as follows: WASHINGTON, U. S. OF AMERICA, July 4, 1803. Dear Sir: In the journey which you are about to undertake for the discovery of the course and source of the Missouri, and of the most convenient water com- ™munication from thence to the Pacific ocean, your party being small, it is to be expected that you will encounter consid- erable dangers from the Indian inhabit- ants. Should you escape those dangers and reach the Pacific ocean, you may find it imprudent to hazard a return the same way, and be forced to seek a passage round by sea in such vessels as you may find on the western coast. But you will be without money, without clothes and other necessaries, as a sufficient supply cannot be carried with you from hence. Your resource in that case can only be in the credit of the United States, for which purpose I hereby authorize you to draw on the Secretaries of State, of the Treasury, of War and of the Navy of the United States, according as you may find your drafts will be most negotiable, for the purpose of obtaining money or neces- saries for yourself and your men, and I solemnly pledge the faith of the United States that these drafts shall be paid punctually at the date they are made pay- able. I also ask of the consuls, agents, merchants and citizens of any nation with which we have intercourse or amity to furnish you with those supplies which your necessities may call for, assuring them of honorable and prompt retribution, and our own consuls in foreign parts where you may happen to be are hereby in- structed and required to be aiding and as- sisting to you in whatsoever may be nec- essary for procuring your return back to the United States. And to give more entire satisfaction and confidence to those who may be disposed to aid you, I, Thomas Jef- ferson, President of the United States of America, have written this letter of general credit for you with my own hand and signed it with my name. TH. JEFFERSON. To Capt. Meriwether Lewis. ——_—-see. Idean of Feminine Dress. From the Philud-Iphia Press. In an evening dance at a summer resort a girl's gown was stepped on and torn from the waist. The offender anxiously in- quired .if be had hopelessly ruined the germent. “Oh, no,” was the kind response, “I have only to put another breadth in it.” The youth’s expression changed from wor- ry to bewilderment. “Another breadth?” he murmured in utter perplexity. The amused girl laboriously entered upon a mfnute explanation of the construction of a gown, the cutting and goring and stitching of the component parts. He listened with much interest. “Well,” he cried, drawing a long breath, when she had finished her story, “I have learned something. I al- ‘ways supposed women just gathered up the stuff around the waists whole. I never dreamed that it was all cut up and then put together again.” AUCTION SALES. THIS AFTERNOON.
