8 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895—-TEN PAGES. SUBURBAN NEWS ROCKVILLE. The Centennial Missionary Society of the Baptist Church of Rockville held a lawn party at the residence of Mr. S. B. Haney Tucsday evening. The spacious grounds were lighted by Chinese lanterns and the different-colored decorations made a pretty scene. The colors at the ice cream table were purple, and the cream and water ices were served by Mrs. C. A. Ferris and Mrs. M. V. Davis, with Miss Belle Kingdon, Beulah White, Lottie Davis, Minnie Viett, Bessie Lage and Verdie Kingdon as assist- ants. The cake table was presided over by Mrs. E. V. Robey and Miss Estie Bouic, the decorations being red. Misses Alice Bouic and Lizzie Haney had the caramel stand, with green and white decorations. Misses Mamfe Kingdon and Virgie Fowler attended to the lemonade booth, handsome- ly fitted up in yellow decorations. Miss Rosalie Boule acted as treasurer. This party was the occasion of the ennual jug breaking of the society. A handsome sum was realized. A case of more than ordinary -nterest was heard yesterday by Judge Henderson of the circuit court. On the 8th instant a number of men and boys were discovered on an excursion train leaving Washington for Frederick city on the top of the cars, and several of them were arrested by a B. and O. special officer, the ozhers mak- ing their escape by jumping off the train while going at a high rate of speed. One had his arm broken in jumping from the car and is now disabled in Washington. Those who were arrested were Richard May, Andrew Smith, Frank Rose and Geo. Powell, all colored. ‘They were brought to this place and turned over to Sherif Mulli- can, and on Saturday had a hearing before Justice Morgan on the charge of entering and concealing themsely2s on the cars of the B. and O. railroad in the state of Mary- land, In violation of a statute passed to cover such cases, ‘Che testimony developed the fact that they had boarded the cars in Washington and were discovered by Special Conductor Fred G. stang when the train was between Lamond’s and Takoma Park, in the District of Columbia. Tho magistrate decided that the entering and concealment was a continuing olfense even after entering Maryland, where they were arrested, and sentenced them to the hou of correction for two months each. Minor Anderson, their attorney, not satis- fiéd with this decision, petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus, wnich was granted, and upon a rehearing before the court the same question of jurisdiction was argued. The court held that the state had no ju diction in the case. Smith, however, was held on a new charge of being an aabitual thief and Rese on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. May and Powell were released. In the orphans’ court yesterday letters cf administration on the personal cstate of Catherine A. Burriss, deceased, were grant- €d to Keuben A. Burriss, bond $1,600.

A society that is being promoted by Dr. Rufus Choate of this place is developing a big membership throughout the towns of Maryland, where he has introduced it. The object of the society Is to cultivate the art of personal observation, preserve tewspaper and other curernt information that in all probability would be lost to posterity, and ultimately, through the classification and compilation of such infor- mation, to widely Increase and diffuse knowledge. Dr. Choate is working night and day to spread the society. The inem- bers of it, or “observers,” in this and other sections already number several hun- dred. The observations, clippings, etc., are sent to him, and he attends, with assistance, to their classification. The literary societies of Maryland are be- coming interested in this proejct to diffuse knowledge, and will soon lend practical as- sistance. The Drowning of Frank Gray. Coroner Glazebrook, after hearing the testimony of Oscar Ward, Lindsey Con- nolly, Colin Mahoney and Walter Sebastian as to the drowning of young Frank Gray yesterday in the river near the Aqueduct bridge, gave a certificate of accidental death. The witnesses named are boys ef about sixteen years of age, and were in swim- ming at the time of the drowning. The funeral of young Gray will take place to- morrow morning. The interment will be at Oak Hill cemetery. It is said that young Gray had been in the water for nearly two hours before he was drowned. The body was recovered on the third draz. The Railway to Great Falls. It is announced that the Washington and Great Falls.road will be completed by October 1.

Notes. Mrs. Harry Becker has returned to Georgetown after a three weeks’ stay at Hamilton, Va. Mr. Sweeny’s condition is very hopeful today. He is stronger now than he has been for some time. Not a single case was made by the police in this precinct yesterday. It was a clear day for the town. —_——__ SPOTTED BY A WOMAN. It Was a Treasury Clerk Who Detect- ed Brockway’s Bad Money. From the New York World. “Once a counterfeiter, always a counter- feiter,” is an axiom of the United States secret service. Never was this more thor- oughly illustrated than in the case of Will- iam E. Brockway, head conspirator in the recent counterfeiting schemes detected. His entire life has been spent in the at- tempt to amass a million dollars at the government’s expense. Now, at seventy- threc, with a long penitentiary term star- ing him in the face, he has not given up hope. Should he live and get out he will likely return to his nefarious occupation. No ccunterfeiter was ever known to re- form. Punishment in prison does not make them good, nor can they break away from the temptation to invest a few thousand dollars and float a million dollars in queer money. It was an accident which prevent- ed Brockway from becoming a millionaire in 1880. He had got out a counterfeit $100 bill on the Pittstield (Mass.) National Bank. In the language of the secret service, it was “a beauty,” and it passed thrcugh many hands without detection. This was betore the days of silk fiber paper, and fine engraving only was required. The scheme came to grief through a woman. This time the woman was a treasury clerk. A woman detects a counterfeit quicker than a man. She looks at it and declares, “That is a counterfeit!” Very often she can’t pick out the flaws that proclaiin it to be bad, but a sense of touch—call it instinct if you will—leads her to believe the bill is bogus, and she is right. In 1880 the Brockway $100 bill came to the treasury from a New York bank for redemption. The woman clerk caught it, investigation followed, and the only im- perfection found was a slight dip in the angle of a cross-tree in the picture of a ship. Otherwise the bill was as perfect as any turned out by Uncle Sam. New York city was found to be the head- quarters of the gang that was placing the Pittsfield counterfeit, and the large de- nomination of the bill cavsed suspicion to fall on Brockway, who has always de- lighted in putting out big bills. Brockway was found to be in close acquaintance with Charles -H. Smith, an engraver for the American Bank Note Company. James B. Doyle was also spotted as a confederate. All were watched. One day Doyle bought a ticket to Chicago. Secret service men went with him. They arrested him in Chi- cago, opened his valise and found therein, not the Pittsfield notes, but $300,000 in United States bonds, counterfeited almost beyond detection. This was a new and unexpected dis- closure, which resulted in the arrest and conviction of the three. So good were the bonds that a microscopical test was neces- sary to distinguish them from the genuine. In another week the gang would have been worth a million dollars in good money, and, in fact, several big banks in the country had been taken in on the bogus securities. When an old counterfeiter like Brock- Way comes out of prison he is continuall Watched by secret service men. Suc’ rogues may change their names, and ap- pear to be lost forever, but they are not. There is not a day that some secret service man cannot trace them to their hiding place, or unmask their idertity. So long as they do right they are not molested, but the fascination of the profession is too much for a counterfeiter at any age. A man who has given the service more trouble and expense than any other one of- fender is Nelson Driggs. He is now about eighty-five years old and keeps a road- house near Dayton, Ohio. When he was eighty he kept a score of secret service people busy, and only for lack of witnesses would now be, where he has been before, in the penitentiary. Driggs was not an engraver, but with his young wife was an expert handler and shover of the queer. Jim Guyon, the chief confederate of Driggs, has been the only great counterfeiting criminal the government has so far failed to catch. He is supposed to have been mixed up in this latest conspiracy, and is described as the most dangerous man of his class, because he is remarkably shrewd in covering up his tracks. Old Driggs has been under constant surveillance for years, despite his age, mainly because some day the secret service men expect to find Guyon through his old confederate. e+ Smashed All Records. George P. Tinker, on the New Orleans Times-Democrat has performed the re- markable task of setting 81,041 ems of agate type in eight continuous hours, cor- recting all errors. This performance smash- es all previous records made on typesetting machines and confirms him as the most rapid linotype operator in the world. The copy was nonparell print and was handed him, and slugs carried away. —_-+ee_____ Labor Men Oppose Hurst. Members of the Federation of Labor at Baltimore made another attack upon the_ democratic gubernatorial nomination at the meeting last night. President George W. Marshall urged that the federation should not allow its opposition to the democratic nominee to rest with the resolutions adopt- ed last week, but that the members and the confederated unions should labor until election day to defeat the nominee. Ad- dresses on the same line were made by Secretary Meyers, Mr. Meushaw and others. IN PRISON! WITH DEBS. A Letter Sent Here by Secretary Kel- Mher of the American Railway Union. A letter has been received at the head- quarters of the Kriights of Labor in this city from Secretary Kelliher’of the Ameri- can Railway Union,’ who is now serving a term in Woodstogk,; Ill., jail for particlpa- tion, with Eugene ¥. Debs and others, in the great Chicago 'rallway strike, which occurred last year.,In his communication Mr, Kelliher says need of a press -that will stand for prin- ciple and discussthe lve issues of the day with honesty and candor, it is at the pres- ent time. All appreciate the many cour- tesies extended the A. R. U. during its most trying period, and perhaps something about our jail life ‘and the American Rail- way Union might be of interest. “Our second day at Woodstock found us organized into a systematic working force, and, although confined to the limited quar- ters of a jail, we have not been idle a mo- ment from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Seven days in the week have been given to the work of reorganizing the American Railway Union. “The reports from all parts of the coun- try are most encouraging; our incarcera- tion has aroused our members and real friends to greater effort in all parts of the country, and they are doing some excellent work. The old brotherhoods are dead or disabled at every point, and their ‘loyalty’ to the railroad corporations during the strike of '94 is being rewarded by abolished schedules, reductions in wages and dis- charges ‘without cause.’ The men realize that their only hope lies in a compact or- ganization that embraces all classes 0! employes. “The fear of the black lst fs rapidly dis- appearing with the growth of the order, and where there is still cause to fear that monstrous practice, the work is being done secretly, and the men enrolled without attending meetings. As soon as the ma- jority of the men on any system are en- rolled they will be in a position to protect themselves, and can meet as best suits their purpose. Every doubt as to the future of the American Railway Union has been dispelled, and our men are now working with a determination that knows not the shadow of failure. “The time of all except Brother Debs will be up August 21, when we will.take the field, better equipped and with more push and vigor than ever. “The last convention of the American Railway Union provided for an educational department, but the big strike came on be- fore its details could be arranged. Since coming to Woodstock we have put this de- partment in working order, and it is our purpose to dig and delve for facts, ‘search for truths and promulgate the true prin- ciples of industrial reform. ‘very local union will be turned into a school and pro- vided with a lecturer and library for the distribution of reform literature ” —_.__ THE CIGAR MAKERS. Report, From Headquarters Show That Nearly All Are Employed. Information which was recently received by some of the prominent union cigar makers in Washington was to the effect that a number of so-called labo »vapers throughout the country have beca in- dustriously circulating a report that the cigar makers are grievously underpaid and that there are 20,000 of them idle in New York, while only 6,000 are necessary to pro- duce the output. In order to ascertain the correctness or falsity of the rumor President G. W. Per- kins of the Cigar Makers’ International Unton was writtensto on the subject, and a communication received by him in- reply declares that “the story is false” and asks the question, “What are these 20,000 men going to live on? How could that many of a single trade exist whey permanently out of empicyment?” In refuting this¢vory Mr. Perkins shows that if 20,000 cigar makers were idle in New York or anywhere else, each drawing an out-of-work benefit of $3 a week, it would not take very long to disrupt the union. To substantiate that he submits the July report of Union No. 144 of New York city, the largest in the country. Out of a membership of 900-only 33 are out of em- ployment, and they have all drawn during that month only $94, To further show that the industry is prcspering {in a remarkable manner and that few men are out of: work Mr. Perkins says that “over 4,000,000 labels have been sent out in the last six weeks, and they can hardly be printed fast enough to supply the demand.” He strongly believes, he says, that this, if nothing else, is a good indication that the men have plenty to do and are receiving better wages than for- merly. He further says the month of July was the lightest month for out-of-work benefits the union has had in two years. — ANCIENT LANDMARK TO GO. The Fifteenth Street Methodist Church to Be Torn Down. ‘The contract for the Fifteenth Street M. E. Church, Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, pas- tor, has been awarded to W. A.

The Kansas Governor Said to Be Try- ing to Arrange a Deal With Reed. A Topeka, Kan., paper prints a story to the effect that the real purpose of Gov. Morrill’s trip east is to start a boom for himself for the republican nomination for Vice President. “Though it is not generally known,” the paper says, ‘Gov. Morrill is now at the sumnmer residence of Thomas B. Reed, in northern New York, where he is visiting the Maine statesman, wh> expects to be given first place on the national ticket. There the. New...York politicians: will meet. the Kangas governor and there a deal is to te made which snall unite the west and the east ard make Thomas B. Reed the presi- dential nominee and Gov. Morrill the nom- inée for Vice President.” It is well known that Gov. Morrill has been a fast friend of the Maine Congress- man, and that he has always favored his noraaation for President. It is said he issuei to Thomas B. i his certificate to tench echool. The frendsiip may ga a long way toward-convinein;; Heed and the castern Foi ticlang taat Movrdl is the naw for the second place, providing the man from Mime can capture the presidential nominaticn at the nation convention. ‘ Hot Roast Becf Sandwiches. Each season develops at Coney Island its particular fad.in the way of hot lunch- ecns, according to the Baltimore Ameri- can. One season it was the hot frankfur- ter, which had a''tun of several seasons, and would probabjy still be popular had it not been discovered, that a factory for the production of fraekfurters was suspictous- ly near a repository for dead car horses. That hurt the sausage industry. Then came soft crabs on. toast and other tempt- ing dishes. This season it {s the hot roast beef sandwich. The beef is roasted in front of the passing crowd and cut from the long rolls and served. It is far from tender, but it is good erough for a person who will try and satisfy a vigorous appe- tite at the stand of a Coney Island fakir. —_——+e+____ To Parade Labor Day.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Proposed Extension of the Electric Railway to Washington, An Unknown Man Killed Near Four- Mile Run—Cases Before the Police Court. The body of an unknown tramp was pick- ed up alongside the tracks of the Pennsyl- vania railroad at Four-Mile Run, between this city and Washington, yesterday even- ing, having been killed, it is supposed, by the 6:15 p.m. train from Washington. The remains were breught to Demaine’s under- taking establishment in this city to be pre- pared for burial. Dr. Purvis, the coroner, summoned a jury last evening, consisting of Julian Denealt, William Webster, Dr. Milhollen, I. H. Evans, J. T. Roberts and James Johnson. Engineer Robey said that he did all that he could do to prevent the accident. Wien the man was first seen he was only 100 yards away. He blew the danger whistle and reversed his engine. That was all he could do. The testimony of the crew of the train was about the same as that of the en- gineer. The following verdict was ren-ier- ed: “We, the jury, find that the said stranger came to his death by being struck by train No. 426 on the Washington Souti- ern railroad, on the north-bound track, train leaving Alexandria at 5:30 p.m. The engineer gave crossing and danger signals prior to the accident, which was due to the stranger's own negligence. ‘he railroad and employes are exempt from all blame.” Nearly every bone in the body was broken. Electric Road to Washington. It 1s said that the preliminary arrange- ments for the extension of the electric rail- way to Washington have been completed, and the contract for the use of the Long bridge signed. Dr. Abbott, president of the rcad, says the engines for the Washington power house are now being built, and will soon be ready. Walked While Aslcep. News has been received in this city from Auburn, the country home of Mr. J. T. Beckham, that his youngest son, Mastcr George Ross Beckham, while walking in his sleep Tuesday night last, stepped out of a second-story window and fell to the ground, a distance of thirty feet, badly in- juring his right knee. Physicians were hastily summoned, and at this time are un- able to determine the extent of hts injuries, as the injured limb is so badly swollen. A Jetter received this morning states that ie is resting quiet'y and doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Police Court. In the police court this morning Justice ‘Thompson presided and disposed of the following cases: Andrew Jackson, charged with assaulting Mary Gray, colored, fined $10; George McCuen, charged with indecent conduct, case continued until tonight at 7 o'clock; Mat: Williams, charge] with being drunk and disorderly conduct, fined $ or sixty days in the chain gang; W.8. Brown, charged with allo ig gambling on his premises, case dismissed. Another Horse and Buggy Stolen. The police have been requested to look out for a dark roan pceny, with short mane and tail, attached to a black top buzgy, which was stolen from parties in Washing- ton yesterday. The Charge Not Sustained. Monday last a telegraph operator named Smith complained to Officer Atkinson that there was a game of draw poker going on over the store of Mr. W. S. Brown, just op- posite the local depot, and Officer Atkinson swore out a warrant for Brown’s arrest, When the case came up before Justice Thompson in the police court this morning it was developed that Smith had made the complaint through spite, on account of a grudge against Brown, and of his own Knowledge could not swear that gambling was going on: he had only heard so. Sev- eral witnesses in the case failed to show that the game was going on as alleged, and Mr. Brown was acquitted. Notes. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Smoot have returned from the White Sulphur.

Maceo Writes to the Cuban Party in America, Favorable accounts of the progress of the Cuban revolution have been received at New York by Gen. Gonzalo de Quesada, secretary of the revolutionary party in the United States, in a letter from Gen. Maceo. The letter follows: General Headquarters in the Field, MONTOMPOLO, July 31. Dear Sir: The revolution is most power- ful in Santiago de Cuba and in Camaguey. Every battle so far has been a triumph for the Iiberators of this country. The Span- ish soldiers are panic-stricken and sur- render to their besiegers, who spare their lives. I think that we shail soon oblige the Spanish government to give up the island to the Cubans, who wish to be free, and who are striving to throw off the yoke which oppresses and ruins them. The five representatives of the eastern department have left for Camaguey in or- Ger to establish the government of the re- public. The representatives are: Dr. Joa- quin Castillo Duany, Rafael M. Portuondo, Rafael Mauduley, Pedro Aguilera Kindelan and Mariani Sanchez Vaillauth. This will institute a government, composed of a president and three secretaries—those of war, interior and foreign affairs. It is possible that the president will be Gen. Bartoleme Masso. I will send you soon El Cubano Libre, a newspaper which will be published in this department, giv- ing our official news of the military opera- tions of the army of the east and of the progress of the revolution. We congratulate ourselves on the elec- tion of Thomas Estrada Palma and Manuel Sanguily as representatives of our sacred cause in the United States. Glve to the people of that generous country our re- gards, and assure them that Cuba has never doubted their sympathy. I am yours, with the highest constdera- tion, ANTONIO MACEO, Major General. Gen. Tauchnitz, the Publisher, Dead. Baron Bernhard Christian Tauchnitz, the celebrated publisher pf Greek and Latin classics, Hebrew and Greek Bibles, and con- tinental editions of British authors, died yesterday at Leipsic, Germany. Bernhard Christian Tauchnitz, himself one of the best-known publishers in the world, was the nephew of Charles Tanch- nitz, who established the original publish- ing house of that name, in Lelpsic, at the end of the last century. The Tauchnitz editions of the Greek and Latin classics and of Hebrew and Greek Bibles are famil- jar to all scholars. Se Will Sue for Many Millions. A San Francisco paper says the heirs of Jose de Jesus Noe will soon bring suit to recover a vast tract of land near Golden Gate Park, known as San Miguel Rancho. The property involved is estimated to be worth $24,000,600. The suit will be based on the alleged illegality of the transfer of the land by Noe to Wm. J. Horner in 15853.

Yesterday was looked forward to as marking the crisis in the Omaha police muddle. From an early hour the city hall was surrounded by a large crowd, mostly curiosity seekers, awaiting developments. No effort was made to disperse them. The A. P. A. police commission convened at 1 o’clock in the roonis reserved for their use by the city council. The quarters were crowded by a gathering of probably 200 sympathizers. A letter was sent to the old commission asking a conference without, however, stating the object. The old commission agreed and indicated the mayor's office, where the meeting socn began. After an animated discussion, the old fire and po- lice commission refused any compromise except on the basis of permitting the su- preme court to pass on the situation. The A. P. A. commission consented and it was agreed that the old commission should continue to conduct the offices of the city until a decision was rendered in the case. —____+ e+ -—____ FOUND AN OLD WELL. It Was Under the Collapsed New York Building. The cause ef the collapse of the Ircland building, on West Broadway, New York, in which fifteen lives were Icst, came to light Tuesday, when the workmen engaged in clearing away the debris in the cellar un- covered an old-fashioned well under the fcurdation. It was situated directly under the central pillar of the structure, the un- dermining of which precipitated the dis- aster. The well was only eighteen inches be- low the concrete base on which the pillar rested. It was of the old-fashioned sort, six feet deep by eight feet in Giameter, lined with rough stones, and there was no water in it. ‘The coroner and several building experts examined the well, but would give no opin- fons on the matter. One building expert said, however, that neither the contractor ror the officers of the building department could have been aware of the fact thai the well was there, nor of the fact that its filling was too soft. Lunacy Inguisitions. Orders have been made confirming the inquisitions recently held in the cases of the following alleged lunatics: Harry H. Stanford, John B. Roberts, George W.
