An Attempt to Be Made to Formulate a Plan for lwproéving the Streets. “A casual glance at the street improve- ment map, which accompanies the last an- nual report of the Commissioners, will suf- fice to convince any one of the necessity for taking measures for the improvement of the streets of Northeast Washington,” said Evan H. Tucker, president of the Northeasi Washington Citizens’ Association, to a Star reporter today. _ An Important Subject. “The Northeast Washington Citizens’ As- sociation is fully justified,” continued Mr. Tucker, in undertaking the stupendous work, which will be the subject for consid- eration at a meeting on Monday evening, when that map will be displayed by the stereopticon. Sixty-five per cent of all the streets in Northeast Washington have never been graded, and are in a state of nature. “When our people discuss this question they invariably make comparisons of this section with other sections of the clty, com- plain that we have not gotten our share of the improvements and criticise the authori- ties for what they call unjust discrimina- tion. Our object is not to complain about what has or what has not been ‘Jone in the past, but to take the matter a& we fin. it, and endeavor to formulate a comprenensive and practical plan*for the improvement of all the streets in Northeast Washington in @ reasonable time.” Meager Appropriatjons. “Are not the streets of Northeast Wash- ington being rapidly improved?” Mr. Tucker was asked. “Only 35 per cent of the streets in North- east Washington are improved, and, when you consider the meager appropriations which are made by Congress from year to year for street improvement, how many people now living do you think will see all of the streets improved? The appropria- tion for street improvements in Northeast Washington last year was $21,30W), while ‘he amount for this year is $33,740, notwith- standing the fact that a large surplus of District revenues is turned into thé United States treasury every year. These figures represent about the amount which is gen- erally allotted to this section tor street im- provements.” : “What would you for this condition?” Mr. Tucker replied that he would outline his plan at the meeting to be held Monday evening, and, continuing, said: Need Another Shepherd. “Where you sce graded streets and beau- tiful shade trees there are to be seen solid blocks of dwellings, and where streets are unimproved, and where there are no shade trees, there are no improvements in the form of houses. Gov. Shepherd found a way to make extensive improvements, and there is no doubt that he did more toward the development of the city than any other man. I have no doubt that had his far- sightedness been turned toward the north- east that section would now be solidly built up. We need another Shepherd to provide this means. We will consider this matter at our meeting on Monday. even- Ing. uggest as a remedy : —_—.___. CONVENTION COMMITTEES. Progress of Arrangements for the Gathering of Sunday School Teachers.

Peloubet, D.D., of Boston will be present throughout the convention to give the management the benefit of his experience. The opening address will be delivered by Rev. Charles H. Dodd, D.D., of Newark, N. J. eS Contynetors and Local Politics. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the article headed “White Men Want- ed,” which appeared in The Evening Star of yesterday, relating to suffrage in the District, and local republican polities, the names of three persons are mentioned, and it is said that they “have determined to name the white delegate that will go from this city (to the national republican con- vention), and in the event that two white delegates are sent, they will see that both of them are friendly to themselves. These men are contractors, and they give em- ployment to thousands of men, and, it is claimed, will instruct their employes to only vote for such men as delegates to the District convention as are favorable to their candidates to the national conven- tion.” That is good, let the ball roll, let us have free suffrage in the District, so that these may, by the simple process of thelr employes how and for whom to vote, control the legislation for the community, keep in official position only such men as are favorable to them, and grow fat at the expense of the people. Those will be joyous times—for the con- tractors. Again it is said: “These men have their choice as to whom the national conven- tion should select as the republican stand- ard bearer in the rext campaign, and al~ though they differ in thetr choice, this will not enter into their agreement white delegate favorable to them.” One Is favorable to the candidacy of Sen- ator Allison; another is interestinc him- self in the Reed . and the third ts figtting for McKinley; yet the first two have agreed upon the other “as their to go as a delegate to the convention What noble patriots! They are willl sacrifice their respective idols t harmony in the combine. They b inciples (and faterests), not men. h such men, so deeply interested in use of suffrage, and promising, nee, to lead the voters. by “ins ing” them, I do not see why any one be opposed to suffrage.

No Changes of Noticenble Import Ap- parent Over Last Week. No changes of noticeable import are ap- parent over last week in the local wholesale produce market. As intimated in this column Saturday last, butter advanced somewhat, and many. dealers purchased ahead.

Today 12% cents are asked for the best, while keat or guinea bring 5. Light receipts are accountable for the advance noted, and it is apt to mount higher unless the receipts increase. The usually large receipts of poultry have continued pushing prices down to 10 cents a pound for spring chickens, while old fowls are quoted at a cent lower. Ducks, 7 to 9, and geese, 4 to 5. There is no dearth of vegetables and fruit, peaches being very much in evidence, with good prices prevailing. Apples seem to be. large in supply and low in price. Plums and damsons are putting in an appearance, but the price is low in opening. There is a fair demand for choice potatoes, while slow and low are the proper adjectives to be ap- plied to cnions. Cucumbers, 50 cents to $1.25 a box; beans, 75 cents to $1.25 a box; new fancy potatoes, $1.50 a barrel; choice potatoes, $1 to $1.25 a barrel; medium, 75 cents a barrel; fancy sweet potatoes, $3 to $3.50 a barrel; Eastern Shore sweet pota- toes, $4.50 to $5 a barrel; egg plant, $1.25 to $1.50 a half-barrel box; beets, $1 to $2.50 a hundred bunches; cabbage, $1 a hundred yellow onions, $1 to $1.25 a barrel; new yel- low oaions, 40 to 50 cents a bushel; turnips, 60 to 65 cents a barrel; black-eyed peas, $1 to $1.10 a bushel; lima beans, 4 to 5 cents a pound; apples, 50 cents to $2 a barrel; peaches. 50 cents to $1.50 a box; damsons, $1 a bushel; 25 to 35 cents a basket; to 30 cents a basket; California oranges, $2 to $3 a box; raspberries, 5 to 8 cents a quart; whortleberries, 3 to 4 cents @ quart; grapes, 25 to 40 cents a ten-pound basket; pineapples, 8 to 15 cents; canta- Joupes, 50 cents to $1.75 a barrel, and water- melons, $10 to $15 a hundred.

Martin Murphy Suddenly Met His Denth in the War Department. Martin Murphy, colored, an elevator con- ductor in the State, War and Navy De- partment building, was instantly killed while on duty yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. The clerks were leaving the de- partment about the time of the accident, ard became excited when they learned of its serious neture. Murphy had charge of one of the elevators on the 17th street side of the building. It is run by hydraulic pressure, end is worked by a lever instead of the usual cable. Murphy had lowered the elevator to the basement and stepped out of it for a mcment. He had thrown the lever back, but it evidently did not catch, for almost instantly the handle of the lever worked back end the elevator began to ascend slowly. It had risen about two feet from the floor when Murphy no- ticed it. He thought he had time to re- gain the car and stop Its upward progress. He jumped for the car ard landed with the upper half of his body on the floor, with the pit of his stomach resting on the edge. Before he could haul himself in the ear reached the ceiling of the basement ard crushed his life out before assistance of any kind could be rendered. The op- eration was so sudden and complete that the victim died without being able even to utter a groan. The accident was discoy- ered almcst imn:ediately after its occur- rerce znd steps were taken to revive the victim, but it was too late. The coroner was notified, and after a short examination decided that an inquest was unnecessary. He gave a certificate of accidental death. Murphy was married and lived with his family at 426 L street, where the remains were carried. He was about forty years of age and had been employed at the de- partment for several years. —_—__ PLACES FOR PUSH CARTS. Another Order of the Commissioners Creates Dissatisfaction. The Commissioners have found a new use for the sidewalk on Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street, in front of the Center mar- ket, and their action seems to have dis- pleased all concerned. ‘They have desig- uated this pavement as the place for the use of push cart venders, and the push carts are permitted to stand directly vpon the foot pavement next to the iron, fence inclosing the parking. Merchants in the ‘market who pay big rents think the action of the Commisstoners is an injustice to them, because the push cart venders pay nothing for the occupation of the pave- ment, and their business {s In direct com- petition with that of so many fruit deal- ers inside the market only a few feet frum where some of the carts stand. Even the push cart men do not like the idea of hav- ing to stand there. They would rather stand along the line of ihe curb, but this the police wili not permit in the vicinity of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street, now that the order of the Commissioners has gone into effect. When Lieutenant Amiss received the or- der he had an interpreter call on the for- eigners and explain to them what would be required of them under the new order of things. The Commissioncrs probably passed the regulation because under the act of Con- gress giving them power to make regula- tions is this provision: “To locate the places where licensed ven- ders on streets and public places shall stazd, and change them as often as the pub- lic interests 1equire, and to make all the necessary regmiations governing thelr con- duct upon the streets in relation to busi- ness."" Although this {s a part of the law, the authority of the Commissioners io desig- nate the sidewalk for busi purposes is questioned by lawyers who profess to be acquainted with the laws on this sub- Ject. Under the law of 1856 it {s claimed the occupation of the sidewalk 1s prohibited, and in the decision of Judge Cox it Is sald the question involved in this particular case was covered, and it was stated this morning by a member of the legal profes- sion that if a citizen would swear out a warrant for some of these push cart mer- chants the court could not do other than decide the case In a manner which would render void the action of the Commission- ers. ——..— Struck by a Sky Rocket. Miss Laura Kiesow of this city, who is visiting at the home of her stepfather, Mr. Bernard Klosowski, Highlandtown, Md., is suffering from a badly injured eye. Mon- day evening she was sitting on the steps of the house when a sky rocket, which was sent off by a picnic party near by, struck her just over the eye. It then fell on the pavement and exptoded, burning Mr. and Mrs. Wlosowski on the hands, arms and feet. It was feared at one time that Miss Kiescw would lose the sight of the eye, but ft is ncw thought that it can be saved. ee Anti-Saloon League. The Anti-saloon League of the District of Columbia is arranging for a mass meet- ing at Emery Chapel, in Brightwood, the afterncon of Sunday, the 1fth, ,at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. John G. Keene of Brightwood has charge of the local arrangements, in connection with Mr. J. S. Blackford, act- ing chairman of the league’s committee on mass meetings. ee Parlor Cars for D.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA A Drommer for-@ Washiggton Firm Ar~ rested for Not Having a License: Examination of Colgred Applicants for School Teacherships Con- cluded—Two Weaths. —_~ Abraham Berwanger, @ drummer for the lquor house. of Richards & Co. in Wasb-. ington, was arrested ip Rice's store on North Fairfax street by Officer Ferguson, charged -with. selling Mquor without..a license. Mr. D. Bendheim went on his bend in the sum of $500, and Berwanger was released.- There is no city license re- quired of drummers carrying samples of liquors, but the state requires a tax of $550,,. The case- will come up for trial later in the day. 7 A Narrow Escape. The rough cobble stones with which this city is*paved were the means of saving a baby from painful if not fatal injuries yes- terday.. A nurse was tending the year- old baby of Capt. and Mrs. H. S. Pitts in frent of their residence on Prince street, when, taking her hand from the handle of the carriage, it rolled down a slight in- cline directly in front of a marketman’s teem standing in the street. The horses shied and started to run and a wheel of the wagon turned the baby car- riage over, throwing the child beneath and dragging it some distance. The wheels of the heavy wagon passeq over the child's legs at the ankle, but fortunately both legs were in the ruts of the street, and the. body only sustained painful bruises. Those who witnessed the occurrence say it is miraculous that both legs were. not crushed, as they would have been had the street been perfectly smooth. The physi- cians say the child is not dangerously in- jured, but that its escape was simply mar- velous. Death of Mr. Miller. Mr. Elisha J. Miller of this city died at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. R. B. Farquahar, near Rockville, Md., at 2:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He had been suffering from Bright's disease for several years, and had been carried there to avoid the hot weather. .He was a son of the late R. H. Miller, and had been one of the most prominent wholesale and retail crock- ery dealers in this state for many years. He was a gentleman of the old school and was loved for his good qualities by every one of his acquaintances. He leaves a grown daughter and two sons, Dr. Julien Miller and Mr. Ashby Miller. Death of Mr. Holt. Another old citizen passed away yester- day afternoon, to the deep regret of many. Mr. Israel Holt, who has been a faithful turnkey in the city jail for about fifteen years, died at that institution, in the sev- enty-first year of his age. The deczased was a printer by trade, and in his younger days worked at that occupation in this city. He had been in ill health for some Examinations Concluded.

Taylor has returned from the meeting of the State Bar Association at White Sulphur. oe ON THE TRAINS. Railroad Men Have Trouble With Disorderly People. Chief Grannon of the Baltimore and Ohio railread Company has been doing some good work recently in the direction of pro- tecting passengers from the disorderly con- duct of roughs, as well as from alleged pick- pockets, and this week several colored men from Baltimore ard this city succeeded in getting into the county prison. Thurscay there was an Emancipation celebration at Frederick, and feeling reasonably certain there would 52 trouble, Chief Giannon sent out several of his men to watch the trains going to that place. Several additional men were put on <uty, and the result is that seven colored men are in custody. On the excursion train chat went from wn's city there was some disorder, and Fred. Scang, the brakeman, h.d an exciting experience with Frank Rhodes, on the tup of the mov- ing train. Several young men rad climbed to the top of the ears, intending to get down after the conductor hud passed through, ani -hereby teat ‘he raiirvad com- pany, but the traimmen were on iheir guard, and the brakeman, wio went tc the top of the car, came near engaging in a fight, which may have resulzed :n leath from fall- ing from the moving train, Tehodes crew @ razor on the brakeman, buz did pot use it. Between Kensingtea and Rockville this trouble oczi-red, and four arrests were made. Besules Rhodes there were Richard May, George Poweli ond Andrew Smith, and when Rockville was reached Detectives Norris and Brockenberough had them in custody and took them before ‘Squire Mor- gan. Detective John Lloyd was present at the trial, with counsel for the road, and upon conclusion of the:hedring Justice Mor- gan gave them two months each in the house of correction, gn institution entirely different from the Washington workhouse, and Rhodes will have:to answer the addi- tional charge of carrying a razor. On the road betweem Baltimore and EXCURSIONS. At River View tcmcrrow, besides the usual amusements, a balloon ascension and parachute drop is announced, which will undoubtedly attract a large number. Miss Nettie Raymend, Prof. Raymond and “Vulcan,” the little dog, who has already made many ascensicns will be on hand. and ‘the first exhibition of a para- chute dropping five hundred feet before opening will be given tomorrow. Those who go to River View for a day of com- fort will be rewarded, as there is plenty of shade and cool air. Prof. Arth’s band will furnish music all day, and the fare for the rcund trip is 25 cents; children, 15 cents. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 10:45 a.m., 2:45 and 5:45 p.m. Marshall Hall will be the place to spend the day or even a few hours tomorrow, and especially to those who think of es- eaping the heat of the city. The green lawns, which have been taken advantage of by so many during the past two or three Sundays, will afford rest, and the many who desire to enjoy themselves other wsys will find numerous attractions. The bathing beach is at its height of success, and a dip in the cool water is certainly re- freshing. The Ferris wheel will be in op- eraticn, ard this one attraction is well worth investigating. Prof. Schroeder's band will give a continuous concert on the lawns, and the steamer Macalester will leave at 11 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., and the River Queen at 3 p.m. The continued popularity of Bay Ridge is evidenced by the large number who have patronized it since the first of the season. Being situated on the Chesapeake bay, there is naturally salt water sports to be enjoyed, including excellent bathing, fish- ing and crabbing.

While the train was at a standstill at Slabtown one of the railroad men saw a pocketbook tall to the ground from the closet, and knowing the reason for it, he rushed into the car and then there was trouble. The vigilance of the officers resulted in the arrest of Frank Pratt, George Smith and William Gibson, The last named was given a preliminary hearing in Frederick, and was held for the grand jury. Pratt and Smith will be en. a hearing at Westminster, as their alleged offense is charged to nave been committed in_ Carroll county. When the four Washingtonians were tried in Rockville they were represented by counsel, and made a vigorous defense. They were all well dressed, but when Squire Mor- gan said “two months” one of them cried like a child, and now they are probably at work on the farm. — Hack Licenses.

Manager Kernan’s bookings for the com- ing season assures the appearance of all the highest-class vaudeville and burlesque organizations in existence. The opening attraction, Cyrene’s High-class Vaudevilles, will be one of especial importanc2, and will include a number of novelty artists, who will make their initial bow before a Wash- ington audieace. Among the names ap- pearing on the roster are Emmons, Emer- son and Emmons, in their original witti- cisms, songs and jances; Cunningham and Staley, the novel musical comedians; La Dell and Alveres, California’s favorite ec- centric artist; Millie Turnour, the famous aerial artist, in her original sensation, entitled aerial posings; the dainty Cyrene, the most accomplished and graceful acrobatic dancer in the world. Cyrene will introduce for the first time in Washington the Trilby dance, which is executed in bare feet, and which has re- cently reigned as the sensation of New York voof gardens and theaters; it is the seme dance that the metropolitan author- ities endeavored to suppress. The perform- ance will conclude with a series of living pictures, which will be perfect reproduc- tions of the originals, and will form a study in high art. Although the opening of the Lyceum will be inaugurated Saturday evening, August 17, the same organization will remain during the week of August 19, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. To commence here.—Robert Downing will ecntinue to play his regular legitimat repertoire, which includes “The Gladiator,” “Ingomar,” “Damon and Pythia: “Othello, ‘Virginius” and “Julius tragedy, “Helena,” in which he will open the season at the Grard Opera House Sep- tember 2. Mr. Downing will be supported by a remarkably strong company of legiti- mate players, headed by the beautiful and accomplished Eugenie Blair. that each one will be a grand production. Lafayette Square Opera House.—It is stated positively that the new Lafayette Square Opera House will »pen September 23, as was at first announced. When the roof is on a day and night force will be employed and Mr. Albaugh is confident that the building will be sufficiently com- pleted by the date named to allow Lillian Russell to preseat her latest success, “Tzigane.” ——__.
