GERSTENBERG’S DOG Judge Scott of the Police Court Sentenced Him to Be Killed. The Probability is That There Will Be More Trouble—Other Cases Disposed Of. Saloon Keeper Ernest Gerstenberg was a defendant in Judge Scott's court today on a charge of being the owner of a fierce and dangerous dog. It appeared in proof that the dog bit a boy named Roy Foose, and Lawyer Sillers made an earnest plea for the owner of the dog. The saloon keeper praised his dog, and tcld of his many good qualities. “All these gentlemen in court know my dog,” he said, pointing toward the clerks, presecuting attorney and others, “and they know the dog is not dangerous.” Judge Scott concluded that the dog’s character was not above reproach, and re- peated what he has said on previous oc¢a- elons concerning the disposition of biting dogs. “The sentence of the court is that the dog be killed,” he concluded. The court was informed that the sentence would not be complied with, and that he would let no one in his house who came there to execute the animal. It is likely that the case will cause more trouble. No Intentional Cruelty. John Hancock, a representative of the Herdic Company, was given a trial on a charge of cruelty. It was charged that he permitted to be worked a horse that was unfit for labor. : Evidence on both sides was heard, and WFile the court was satisfied that there was no Intentional cruelty, he thought the animal should have been kept in the stable. Three small boys, whose names were given as Henry Sondheimer, Frank Sheiry and John Sheiry, were in court, charged with trespass. These littie boys were found on the grass in the Judiciary Square and the park watchman arrested them. ~ Judge Scott thought that the boys had committed no serious offense and fined them only $1 each. George Stewart was in court several days ego for drunkenness and his personai bonds were taken to take the pledge. “And instead of doing s an officer told the court, “he got drunk. George made another effort to talk him- self out of court, but Judge Scott remem- bered him and ‘sent him down for two weeks. Said He Would Leave. Frank Williams, a stranger in the city, who arrived here only two days ago, prom- ised to leave if given an opportunity to do so. Judge Scott let him go with pleasure, and advised him to stand not on the order of his going. Charles Jackson, who was out riding a bicycle last night without a’ lighted lamp attached thereto, forfeited $5 collateral. James Reeves and John McNamara, young men who have been hanging about the river front, and who were not strangers in court, were sent down for a month. Rose Winfield, Lillie Ross and Annie Johnson were each sent down for thirty days. —— WORSHIP IN THE Woops. Progress of the Camp Meeting at Washington Grove. Special Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 23, '05. ‘The early prayer services afford to the se-earners in camp an opportunity for devotion and spiritual help. Capt. Ripley led the family worship in the auditorium, which was not very fully attended. When the people responded to the call of the { bell it was for prayer and conference and fuller consecration.

They E4Joyed a Pleasant Outing and Witnessed Competitive Drills. The Catholic Knights of America who re- side in or belong to District branches of the order took an outing to River View yesterday. The chief event was the com- Petitive drill between companies A and B of the battalion of Gonzaga Cadets, and the little fellows acquitted themselves in a highly creditable manner throughout the drill. After the company drill, about thir- ty-five of the cadets entered in an indi- vidual competitive drill, which was won by Sergt. Ed. H. Hayes of company A, Cor- poral Thomas B. Cook of company B get- ting the second prize. The prizes were $10 and $5 in gold, which had been donated by the Catholic Knights for that purpose. Capt. John B. Walsh, company B, fourth battalion, D. C. N. G., acted as judge, and Mr. George Repetti, president of the State Council, Catholic Knights of America, pre- sented the prizes. Company B was pre- sented with a handsome silk flag by the ladies who had charge of the Gonzaga ta- ble at the St. Aloysius lawn fete which was held recently for selling the greatest number of tickets, Mr. Repetti agafn acting as presentor. Capt. Vincent Coughlan was presented with a watch by the ladies of the same table for selling, through his own in- dividual efforts, the greatest number of tickets. After the presentation, Miss Marie Scanlon, the sponsor of the Gonzaga Cadets, invited the command to temporary head- quarters, where they were entertained in a royal fashion. The State Council, under the auspices of which the excursion was given, is composed of nine branches in the District. These are St. Aloysius’, St. Peter's, St. Mary’s, St. Dominic’s, St. The- 1esa’s, St. Stephen’s, St. Joseph's, the Im- maculate Conception and Carroll, and it is safe to say that every member was pres- ent on the excursion yesterday, as every beat that left for the popular resort was crowded to its utmost capacity. The com- mittee in charge of the excursion were Messrs. John Elbert, E. J. Brosnan, John Shrugrue, J. H. McQuade, John C. Sullivan, Jemes Kane, R. J. Hartigan, E. J. Hanna, George Repetti and Joseph Waltermeyer. ——— THE DISTRICT REPUBLICANS. Mr. Carson Says He ix Not Pledged to Any White Candidate. While the republicans of the District are not holding mass meetings, some interest- ing conferences are being held among the leaders in the different sections of the city. A conference was held in the second dis- trict a night or two ago of men favorable to the selection of Dr. Charles B. Purvis as the colored delegate from the District to the netional convention. Dr. Purvis at one time was a delegate to the national ccn- vention, and was selected by the conven- tion as the member of the national com- mittee. The second district, in which the conference was held, is the iargest of the legislative districts, and there promises to be a big fight there over the question as to who shall call the convention for that dis- trict. Ralph Wormley is the president of the ) district, but when the last convention was held in the district he holted and had his own convention. The District convention decided against him and recognized the convention which was called by Dr.Gaines, the vice president of the association. Toth factions are now claiming the right to or- ganize the district. This is the district in which Carson resides, and while there may be some difficulty over the organization cf the convention, Carson’s friends claim that Carson delegates will be chosen. In conversation with a Star reporter to- day Mr. Carson repudiated as unauthorized all the announcements made as to his fa- voring the candidacy of this or that white man to go with to the convention. He says that while he knows the people are th him, yet it is as much as he can do to look out for his own candidacy, much less the candidacy of any ore else. He said that he had not pledged his support to anybody’s cause. It is announced that there will be a meeting held in the twenty- first district during next week, at which everybody will be permitted to talk as loud and as long as he wants to. STOP CARS ON NEAR SIDE. Mr. Frech Shows Advantages of Suc 2 Rule. To the Editor of The Evening Star: There is cne important item in connec- tion with the stopping of street cars on the near side of the street, and this is that it affords a reasonable, definite and ascer- tainable line at which the front of the car can be required by law to stop, that is, a line which it shall not overrun; viz. the rear side building line. No such line ts ascertainable for the front of the car if it is made to stop on the far side.

The Ground Was.the Site of the Old Corporation Burying Ground— Other tems. Waters & Poore,{:plumbers, while exca- vating this morning 9n R street, prepara- tory to running new pipes into house 8311, unearthed numercus ‘human bones, includ- ing skulls, whole ard In part, arm and leg bones, ribs, shoulder blades, etc. In one or two cases hair was found on the skulls in a good state of preservation. The section for a square about the place torn up this morning was at one time the corporation burying ground, and the de- pository during the cholera epidemic of 1832 of many bodies. Many canal victims, railors and paupers were buried there. So many died during this epidemic that trenches were dug and bodies piled in pon each other. When the property was open- ed and sold, the dead were never exhumed, and it is sald the hovses on that square are built almost upon a foundation of bones. Every excavation brings a quantity to light. Mr. Charles H. Trunnell tells this inci- dent of the chclera epidemic. One day Fa- ther Van Loman, then.stationed at Trinity Church, was returning from a visit to the sick, when he encountered a dead cart car- rying the bodies of five dead sailors to the corporation trench. Waiving the cere- mony usual to such occasions he followed” the cart to its destination and there per- formed the church rites in accordance with the Catholic custom. It was unusual, par- ticularly during that dreadful period, and elicited the highest commendation. Father Van Loman ministered much to the chol- era victims, and was looked upon with al- most as much veneration as a saint com- mands. Miss Goszler Buried. Miss Elizabeth Goszler, sister of the late James Goszler, for a long time chief clerk of the War Department, was buried on Monday lest at Rock Creek cemetery. Miss Goszler had spent most of her life in Georgetown and was widely known here. She died at*the Epiphany Home. Miss Goszler had reached the age of ninety. Transfers for Railroad Tracks. The following transfers, carrying prop- erty on which the tracks of the Washing- ton and Great Falls company are being laid, was conveyed Wednesday to the cor- poration: Lot 18, block 1, White Haven, from Catherine Chambers; lot 13, block 1, from Silas Damon, a tract described by metes and bounds from Wm. I. Fowler; a tract from James N. Hodge; lots 1, 6, 7, 19 and 22, block 1, from Geo. H. La Fetra; tract from John H. Ricks, and lot 17, block 1, from Jas. Stewart. These purchases represent about Abandoned Her Child. Ada Fletcher, the colored woman who abandoned her child on Water street nearly two months ago, was arrested last night. She had acted suspiciously about the mat- ter and the police thought her case should be investigated. ‘There seems, though, to be no penalty for: abandonment. The child, “Wao was-only a few-months ‘old, was placed in the asylum by the woman on whom it had been-left by the unnatural mother. Notes. Mrs. Lulu Finnacom died yesterday at 32d street of:a throat trouble. She will be buried on Saturday at 2 p.m, In- terment at Rock Creek cemetery. Mr. and°Mrs. George W.

Thera is no longer any doubt concerning the identity of the young man who was killed on the Caledonian railway near Camnbuslang, near Glasgow, Scotland. What doubt, if any, existed, was dispelled this morning by the receipt of a letter from the Scotland authorities. Maj. Moore re- ceived the letter, which reads as follows: “LANARKSHIRE CONSTABULARY, “August 13. “Maj. Moore, metropolitan police: “Sir: Yours of 2d instant relating to Daniel Albert Davenport duly received, to- gether with photo, which, on being shown to our officers and Mr. McLachlan, station agent, Cambuslang, was at once identified as that of the young man found on the Caledonian railway on 20th ultimo. “Thanking you for your kind attention in this matter, I have the honor to be yours, obediently, “D. SMITH, Superintendent.” As soon as the letter was received In- spector Hollinberger notified the Rev. Mr. Davenport of Anacostia, the young man’s father, and it is likely that the body will be sent for without the necessity of the father making the sai journey. The police have heard nothing additional about the bundle of clothing that was re- ceived at New York three days ago. As the identification {s row complete there is no necessity for the clothing. ReSae Sas AN EXPERT ON BOARD. Every Passenger Boat Should Have a Member of the Life-Saving Service. ‘If suggestions are in order, I would like to offer one regarding passenger-car- rying boats,” said a well known gentleman to a Star reporter today. “It is that each one be required to have on board, fully equipped for the duty to be expected, one or more members of the United States life-saving service, who shall act on the instant the occasion demands. Thus would be provided the experience and authority to save human life, which now seems to be wanting. The life-saver would devote his entire attention to his duty, and his prompt action would no doubt result in the rescue of many a poor crea- ture.” ——_—_. EXCURSIONS. The fast-flying iron steamer Harry Ran- dall will leave toemcrrow at 9 a.m. for Cherel Point, stopping at Alexandria and getting home about 10 p.m. Chapel Point is full of attractions for young and old, and its natural beauty is noted all along the Potomac. Boating, bathing in salt water, crabbing and fishing may be indulg- ed in without stint, and music and dancing, together with all kinds of sports, will help to fill out a day most pleasantly spent. The Macalester will leave this evening and tomorrow evening at 6:30 for Marshall Hall and Indian Head, as usual. The danc- ing pavilion never was in finer shape, and those who take these Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening trips appreciate that fact to the fullest extent. Schroeder's orchestra is always on hand to render the latest and best music for the dancers and a pleasing concert on the boat going down and com- ing up. Those who do not desire to get off the boat and dare the heights of the Ferris wheel take the pleasant sail to In- dian Head and are amply repaid by the cool breezes and the beautiful scenery which accompany the trip. A delightful trip to take Sunday, or any day, for that matter, is on the Newport News, the elegantly fitted up new stcamer which is now plying on the Potomac river between this city and Norfolk. and Fortress Monroe. This steamer leaves at 8 In the morning, gives an all-day sail down the Potomac, fanned by the up-river breezes, ch never cease their biowing, a vier of the exquisite scenery along either sho of the river and at sunset a view of Nor- folk or Portsmouth or a two iours’ stop at Fortress Monroe. The ride home is just as pleasant, and once taken will never be forgotten. It is in the moonhght, and when one gets tired he can lay down on a soit bed, and, rocked by the motion and soothed by the salt air of the water, enjoy icep as he has never enjoyed it before. The boat arrives in Washingion at 7 o'cioc Monday morning. The Newport News leaves her wharf Mondays, Wednesd:ys, Fridays and Sundays at S ‘a. and the fare for the round trip is $1.59. Organizing Maryland Republicans, The association recently formed of repub- lican voters of the state of Maryland heid a meeting last night in the parlors of the Philadelphia House on Pennsylvania ave- nue.

It will not only im- prove the latter, but reduce the cost of it from 40 to 50 per cent. Try it and be con- vinced of its wonderful merits. 12 cents a pound, at all grocers.
