Reed to Be Buried With the Highest Masonic Honors. Critical Tiness of Rev. Dr. Suter, Rector of Christ's Church— Other Happenings. The remains of Mr. Francis Avery Reed, president of the board of trade of this city, an account of whose death appeared in The Star, will be laid to rest, with Masonic honcrs, from his late residence on Prince street between Washington and St. Asaph tomcrrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. The ar- rargements for the funeral services have rot as yet been completed, but so far as can be learned they will be conducted by the officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Virginia, of whom the following will be present: J. P. Fitzgerald, grand master; A. R. Courtney, deputy grand master; R. T. W. Buke, jr., grand junior warden; J. V. Bidgood, grand secretary; G. W. Wright, grand senior deacon; H. O. Kerns, grand junior deacon, and W. C. Wilkerson, grand tiler. These officers will be assisted in all prcbability by the officers of Andrew Jack- son Lodge, of which the deceased was a prominent member and past master, and the officers of Alexandria-Washington Ledge, both of this city. As the result of an agreement entered into some years ago, and renewed, it is said, within the past few weeks, that In the event of the death of elther party the other was to perform the Masonic service, Mr. William H. Lambert of this city, past grand master of the Grand Lodge of Vir- ginia, and past master of the Alexandria- Washington Lodge, at the request of Mr. Reed’s widow, and by courtesy of the of- ficers of the Grand Lodge, will perform the Masonic rites at the grave. The interment will take place in the Presbyterian ceme- tery, where the remains of some of his reletives now lie. At a meeting of the Old Dominion Com- merdery of Knights Templar, .of which Mr. Reed was past eminent commander, held in their chambers last night it was decided to postpone their trip to Boston un- tll temorrow night, when they will leave on the 10:52 train, in order that they may at- tend e funeral in a body. They will escort the members of the Blue Lodge, A.F. and A.M., both organizations appearing in their full regalia, and the members of both Andrew Jackson and Alexandria-Washing- ton Lodges will attend in a body. Dr. William R. Purvis, the coroner, held an inquest over the remains of Mr. Reed last night, with a jury composed of Chas. J. Wise, foreman; A. A. Warfield, Frank Warfield, C. G. Lennon, Robert Arnold and W. D. Stewart, and after having examined several witnesses the following verdict was rendered: “We, the jury, find that the de- ceesed came to his death from a pistol shot wound, inflicted while under temporary aberration, caused by prolonged sickness.” Critical Miness of Rev. Dr. Suter. It is a matter of the deepest regret to the many friends in this city and throughout the entire state of Rey. Henderson Suter, D.D., rector of First Episcopal Church, to learn of his extreme illness. Dr. Suter has been very sick fur some time past, but it is only within the past few days that his ill- ness has been considered at all critical, and now he is lying at death's door, with but little hope of h:s recovery. Dr. Suter has been at Bedford City for some weeks past, but as he grew rapidly worse it was deemed best to bring him to his home in this city, and last night he was taken to the~Alexandria Infirmary,where an operation was performed on him by Drs. Fry, Van Rensalaer and Suter of Washing- ton and Dr. Ashby of this city. An opening was made in his side, and for the first time the physicians learned the real cause of his sickness. It was found that he was suf- fering with a cancerated kidney, und there is little hope that he will live longer than a few days. This morning he was reported as resting easily and doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Dr. Suter has for many years past been the rector of Christ Church, and is now serving in that capacity. He is a member of tha board of trustees of the Virginia Theological Seminary and also one of the examining chaplains of the diocese cf northern Virginia. The Police Court. Justice Thompson presided in the Police Court this morning, and had quite a lively time in disposing of the twenty-nine odd cases on the docket. The first prisoner called was a youth named Clem Green, who had been very disorderly jn the house cf his sister. For this offense the squire thought a fine of $7 or sixty days in the chain gang would be sufficient. The next case was one of indecent assault, when Thomas Elzy, a celored boy about twelve years cf age, was charged by a small com- panion with having indecently assaulted him. He wes made to pay a fine of %. A few days ago Officers Beach, Fer- gusson, Bettis and B. Hall were started out on their rounds to find the owners of unlicensed dogs. They appeared in the court this morning with charges against the following persons: R. B. Robertson, Lum Taylor, Rosier Bladen, Hattie Doug- las, Scott Debbs, Spencer Raymon, Mary Gray, John Hennersley, Edmund Roe, John Bryant, Fielden Gaynes, George Bower, Frank Nichols, Richard Bernett, Silas White, Elizabeth Smith, Edward O'Brien, Albert Driefus, Dr. Hernson, Webb Roy, Willmer Carter, John Whalen, Elisa Bu’ ler, Walter Allensworth, John Rafferty, William Brawner, A. J. Poh, Thomas Nel- son, Alfred Timmons. Fifteen of these ao of $1 each in court this morn- ing, id the balance of the cases will be heard at a special session tonight at 7 o'clock. The Flying Switch Case. The case against the employes of the Washington Southern railroad, which was set for hearing in the Police Court last night, did not take place, as the defendants failed to appear. The men were arrested on a charge of using the streets of the city in making flying switches. It is said that the case will never be brought to trial, as there is no law to convict them. City coun- cil will pass @ law this fall forbidding rail- roads to do their shifting by flying switches. Notes. . The little daughter of Mr. Max Pressfel- der died this morning.

The Old Guard entertainment, which was given at National Rifles’ armory last even- ing for the purpose of raising funds to enable that organization to take the Mt. Pleasant Field Band to the G. A. R. en- campment at Louisville next month, was very well attended, the program being a very pleasing although quite lengthy one. The Mt. Pleasant Field Band opened the entertainment with a dress parade, which was followed by Prof. Schart’s. pupils in mandolin selections. Mr. George Little- ridge sang the “Sword of Bunker Hill while other literary and musical numbers were given with effect. Among the athletic events down on the program was a spar- ring exhibition between Messrs. Carter and Moar of the Columbia Athletic Club, which received hearty applause. Mr. Van Dyke of Boston and Mr. Chunn of the C. A. C. also sparred, the latter getting the award of the bout. The last numher was a tug of war between members of the C. A. C. The opposing sides were the blues and the Grays, and, after a prolonged and hard tussle, the ‘blues won. It is thought that the proceeds will help very materially in procuring funds for the popular young or- ganization to go to Louisville, and the Old Guard are working with might and main to enable the little fellows to accompany them as an escort. AT ATLANTIC CITY Delightful Weather Makes Life Pleasant for the Orowds. Bench Chair Fads and Some Sudden Fortunes—Interesting Intelligence About Washington People. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, August 23, 1895. ‘The weather has been very inviting dur- ing the past week, being somewhat similar to the much-lauded stock that California always has on hand. The days are warm, but when night falls cool breezes blow, making sle2ping undgr Wlankets comfort- able, and permitting the attendance at hops and other indoor pleasures. This has had a very good effect upon that class of entertainment, and thp number of people who have participated’ was augmented con- siderably. ‘The beach chairs, which are used greatly during the bathing hours,/are being put to a very novel use of late. The chairs are of the steamer kind, and are swung clear of the ground on uprights, holding up an awring to protect the occupant from the sun. They can be changed to any position, and the fad just now is to have them ham- mock fashion, and allow the tide to come up and wash under them. They seem to be a favorite rendezvdus for the dude and his summer girl to bill and coo, while ask- ing each other what’ the wild waves are saying. . Fortunes Easily Made. A possessor of untold wealth, who a few brief years ago was a chore boy, is Chas. Evsns, proprietor of the Seaside Hotel, president of a national bank, and in- terested in numerous enterprises. Less than a month ago he sold what was once a single worthless sand hill to Richard Loper for $100,000. The “sand hill” lay between Loper’s magnificent cottage and the sea, and he bought it, so nothing might be built upon it to obstruct his view of old ocean. Evans’ story, with slight variations, applies to Jcseph Barton, proprietor of the Dennis; Fred Hemsley of the Brighton and Chas. Myers of the Rudolph, all of whom, with many others, have sprung from proverbial poverty into affluence through the simple medium of Atlantic City’s magical sea sands. But Atlantic City’s typical barefoot boy is John J. Gardner, who now possesses great wealth and represents the second dis- trict of New Jersey in the national Con- gress. It is but a short time ago since the present Congressman and millionaire had not one penny to rub against another. Nothing but the barren sand hills of Absecon Beach has worked the change, So much for being born in a place destined to be a great resort. Aceident to a Washington Lady. Mrs. A. Helbee, who Is among the Wash- ington ladies spending the summer here, sustained a very painful accident on Tues- day. After bathing she started to run up the beach with a companion to the bath- ing house, when she tripped against an obstacle and was thrown to the beach. In attempting to rise she found her right foot gave her great pain, and she had to be assisted. She was conveyed to her hotel and an examination made, which disclosed a fracture of the small toe near the second Joint and a severe sprain of the ankle. Dr. Munson attended her, and advised her to remain quiet the rest of the week. Mrs. Helbee has a host of friends here, who sincerely sympathize with her in her mis- Toren. Capt. Duval, who was for many y president of the Baltimore and Ohio dining car system, died at the Sanitcrium on Mon- day from septic cerebro spinal meningitis. Capt. Duval, who was a very widely known man, arrived here a week before his death. He leaves a wife, who arrived in this city shortly after her husband’s death occurred.

Our car lines in this city, one and all, are lax to a cuipable degree in this respect. On many occasions my wife has reported to me the discourtesy she had suf- fered in attempting, with her two young children, to get on or alight from our often- times crowded cars, while the conductor stood insolently at his “post” with one hand on the bell cord, and added to her discomfiture by the (always premature) “all aboard,” or the clang of the bell be- fore terra firma had been safely reached. Such negligence is not tolerated In other cities, I Know, and it seems to me that Washington can iil afford to be so notice- ably deficient with respect to details involv- ing the comfort, convenience and safety of the patrons of these fayored corporations; and I feel‘that I am voicing the sentiment of every woman who is daily subjected to the dangers arising from the undue haste and negligence so common with these com- panies. I hope, therefore, you will urge upon the Commissioners to require the personal assistance of conductors when cir- cumstances would seem to render it neces- sary. B. is a recent arrival at the S.A., at present is registered at Justices of the Pence Meet. The justices of the peace of the District of Columbia held a meeting behind closed doors last evening at the office of Justice Bundy. It is understood the new rules and fees of justices recently prescribed by the District Supreme Court wes the chief sub- Ject under discussion, WORSHIP IN THE woops A Day Devoted to Temperance at the Washington Grove Camp. Incidents of an Interesting Session— Program of Sunday Services—Per- sonal and General Notes. Correspondence of The Evcring Stat WASHINGTON GROVE, August 24, 1895. ‘There was a large crowd present in camp yesterday. President Gee conducted the early altar services. A prayer and testi- mony services at 9:45 a.m., under the con- duct of Elder Wilson, was a fitting prelude to the sermon of Dr. G. V. Leech. The eloquent speaker paid a tribute to the late Dr. Laney, whose memory is ever green in the hearts of the frequenters of Washing- ton Grove, and the feeling that was behind the words stirred every heart to sympathy. A young man, John Davis of Middle Crook, was prostrated by an attack of ep- flepsy near the conclusion of the service, and kindly cared for by President Gee and Mr. Hedding Leech. He was seized with a second attack in the afternoon near the Albany Hotel, and, thrcugh the generosity of Mrs, J. W. Duval and the ladies of the hotel, was cared for and given funds to de- fray his expenses home. The temperance prayer meeting at 2 p.m. in the chapel was led by Mrs. Martyn, a prominent white ribboner of Washington. The children’s hour was duly observed at the tabernacle, and several new names were enrolled. The W. C. T. U. meeting was called at 3 p.m. in the tabernacle and there was a goodly attendance. Mrs. H. M. Hartsock presided, and, after a song by a full choir of voices, Mrs. M. E. Catlin, superinten- dent of Sabbath observances, read an ap- propriate Scripture selection. Prayer by Dr. Wilson was followed by brief and pointed talks by Miss Lizzie Kessler, whose theme was “Faith and Hope;” Mrs. T. A. Williams, on “Organization.” Mrs. Dr. Burritt made an appeal for the further protection of the dumb creation. Mrs. La Fetra, world superintendent of the W. C. T. U., spoke strongly on “Good Citlzen- ship.” Mrs, Clinton Smith instructed t audience in “Legislation and Petitions, and Mrs., M. EB. Merrick delighted her hear- ers with an able exposition of “Gospel Tem- Mrs. Martyn’s theme was “Vic- tory,” and Miss Salee Oomasayah told of the curse of intemperance in her own tribe. The W. C. T. U. party enjoyed an al fresco luncheon, to which many local white rib- boners were bidden. Dr. Hedding Leech, the boy preacher of the camp, will preach the afternoon ser- mon of today. Sunday’s program is complete and will attract many to the camp. Rev. Isaac Naylor is down for the afternoon service and Rev. Iirs. Todd and Widerman will preach during the day and evening. Ample entertainment is being provided for the physical as well as the spiritual man, and a large concourse Is expected. Dr. M. D. Peck, vice president, has se- cured the pledge of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad authorities for a commodious de- pot to be erected in the interval between the close of this and the beginning of the next annual camp. The very dangerous and unsightly switch that disfigures the station is to be torn up at once and a new passenger platform laid on the west side. Rev. Hanson Leamon arrived today and is registered at the Lodge. Rey. Robert Moore and wife of Kensing- ton are the guests of Rev. C. F. Pate. Rev. T. G. Nevitt, senior pastor of the Rockville circuit of the M. E. Church South, and Rev. F. Bryan-of Gaithersburg charge were in camp today. Mrs. M. E. Merrick is spending the week at Hotel Albany. Capt. Rearick, U.S.N., Is on leave and spending August with his family at Maple Villa, on Grove avenue. Mrs. S. A. Perry is in attendance upon the camp services and {s registered at the Albany. Washington Grove needs most of all a local post office, or, what {s preferable, a tri-dally delivery, as it used to have. EXCURSIONS. The eleventh annual tournament and grand dress ball will take place on the green lawns of Marshall Hall Wednesday next, August 28. It is expected that this affair wil outshine in every way all the events of like nature which have been given at Mar- shall Hall in the past, and the preparations which have been made seem to warrant the belief. The two large and handsome steam- ers, Macalester and River Queen, will transport the passengers from this city and adjacent parts of the country along the river front to the scene of the Lournament, and every one within a radius of ene hun- dred miles of Marshall Hali ts invited to be present and participate in the affair. The tilting will commence promptly at noon, and all knights mfist ride in costume. In the evening Professor Schroeder's hand will furnish the music for the bal}, which will last until a late hour. The entrance money accruing from the entrance fees of the knights, with $75 added thereto by the man- agement of the place, will be divided be- tween the first five knights. Seats at the tournament will be provided for the ladies and dressing rooms for both ladies and gentlemen will be conveniently located. The chief marshal will be H. Heber Bos- well, and Walter M. Page, C. Harry Stone- street and Claude Lioyd will act as his aids. L. Allison Wilmer will act as orator of the day, and Robert Crain as orator of the evening. The Macalester will make a special In- @ian Head irip Monday evening for the ac- commodation of and at the request of the many patrons of this steamer. ‘The trip will be just the same as the Thursday night outings, and music will be furnished at Marshall Hall for those who desire to dance. Everything will be running as usual, and an effort will be made to have this one of the most pleasant outings that fas taken place on the river this season. One of the mcst popular excursions that takes place on the Potomac river is the thirty-three-hour trip to Chapel Point on the fast-flying iron steamer Harry Raudall. The boat leaves every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 7 a.m. for Chapel Point, and the fare for the round trip is $2. This includes transportation, lodging and break- fast at Hotel Belleview, one of the pret- tiest villas on the Potomac river, and home again the next day. Everything is strictly first-class, and Capi. Randall has made the most strenuous efforts to make these the most enjoyable of all the trips under his management. The evenings at Chapel Point at this time of the year are beauti- ful and ant the trip ff there were no other attraction on the place. The fare for the round trip to Norfolk and Fortress Monroe on the magnitcent steamer Newport News is $3.50, and no like sum could be more profitably expended for a short outing than in this way. The New- port News leaves every Monday, Wednes- day, Friday and Sunday morning at 8 a.m., and, after an all-day sail on the river, reaches Fortress Monroe in time to see the sun set from that point. The ride home in the cool night breezes is just as pleasant as the day trip, and the motion of the boat, combined with the soothing influ- ences of the sound of the water and the moonlight, make a combination not soon to be forgotten. The boat gets back to this city on Monday morning if the Sunday trip be taken, thus allowing those unable to get away for a longer time the chance to take a delightful trip for a small sum and a short space of time. It will be hard to find a more pleasant plsce than River View tomorrow to spend a day or even a few hours out of the city, and those who go in search of a day of rest will be rewarded. This resort is a well known and enticing one, which is evidenced by the large numbers who daily patronize it. Amusements of various descriptions are to be found here, and Prof.Arth’s band will render a concert all day long on the porch adjoinirg the cafe. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 10:45 am. 2:45 and 5:45 p.m. Marshall Hall will be an ideal resort to spend Sunday. Plenty of shade and cool breezes will make the day one of comfort, and there will be numerous attractions, in- cluding the Ferris whe2l, which will add to the enjoyment of all.

GAYETY -AT HOT SPRINGS How Many Washingtonians Are Enjoying Themselves at That Resort, An Enjoyable German at the Casino— Base Ball by the Waiters Fur- nishes Much Fun. Correspondence of The Evening Star. HOT SPRINGS, Va., August 23, 1895 What a comparison between the Hot Springs of a few years ago and the Hot Springs of the present. When they were first launched as a resort one hotel was ample io accommedate all who came here in search of renewed health. Now three hotels and about twenty-five cottages are inadequate to supply the wants of the numerous guests, so next season Hot Springs will be sraced by a magnificent new hotel, which will be one of the finest in this section of the country. A new swimming pool will also be built next sea- scn. Mr. Fred Sterry will have charge of the entire plant. Washingtonians constitute a large per- centage of the patrons, but only during July and Angust, for Washington during the spring and fall months is in itself a de- lightful resort. The hunting season is now close at hand, and the nimrods will soon be fiocking to the springs. During the fall months this is a veritable paradise for the sportsman, and he here finds ample opportunity to assert his prowess with the gun or rod. To the already delicious menu of the Vir- ginia Hotel will soon be added bear and venison steaks. ‘The weather for the past week has been unusually cool and _ pleasant—just the weather for horseback riding, bicycling, tennis, golf and the other numerous out- door sports indulged in by the guests. Saturday evening a most enjoyable ger- man was dauced in the Casino, after which a champagne supper was served. Among those who participated from Washington were Miss Phentx, Mrs. Sartoris, Gen. F. H. Jones, Mrs. Legare and Mr. Legare. Others present were: Mr. and Mrs, Fred Sterry, Mrs. Caarles Emory Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Griflin, Miss Lippencott, Har- old D. Downs,’ Miss Estelle E. Arnold, the Misses Williams, Mrs. H. Robert Parrish, Miss Villerd, Mr. and Mrs. Julius S. Walsh, Mrs. and Miss Mulligan, Miss Fink, Mrs. Decatur Axtell, the wife of the president of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and her niece, Miss Bey, Mr. Albert Ingalls and Mr. L. E. Osborn. The affair was quite a success. There were many charm- ing costumes and faces more charming. Great interest Is manifested in the new Episcepal Church to be built at Hot Springs. Quite a large sum has already been raised, many subscriptions are com- ing in and the prime movers are sanguine of success. Mrs. Decatur Axtell of Rich- mond is cne of the leading spirits. Wednesday night Miss Phenix of Wash- ington gave a dinner party at the Virginia Hotel. Covers were laid for ten. Those present from Washington were Mrs. Phenix, Mrs. Stansbury and Mr. and Mrs. Legare. ‘Tuesday evening Mrs. Lanier Dunn of Washington gave a supper at her sum- mer residence, “‘Dunn’s Gap.” Base ball played by the waiters is an amusement of which many of the guests never seem to tire. It is great sport to watch the antics of these southern darkies, ard their quaint expressions keep the spec- tators in a roar of laughter. One of the favorite and unique expressions of one of the players is: “I neber had so much fun since I'se been colored.” Wednesday a game was played between the Hot Springs Waiters and a team from Staunton, Va., re- Saige in a victory for the former; score, Judge Andrew Wylie and wife of Wash- ington, who have been here nearly all the summer, returned home Tuesday. Sunday, September 1, the Presbyterian Church at this place will be dedicated. The dedicatory sermon will be preached by Rey. Walter W. Moore of the Union Theo- lcgical Seminary. Dr. N. L. Bates of Washington, the med- ical director of the United States navy, and wife are at the Homestead Hotel. Goy. Frank Brown of Maryland is at the Warm Springs Hotel. Tuesday General Jones and Mrs. Sar- tcris and Miss Sartcris drove to Jackson river, about ten miles from here, to fish. They met with fair success. Mr. Woolson Morse (the composer of the music for the comic operas “Wang,” “Pan- jandrum,” “Dr. Syntax,” etc.) and wife are at the Virginia Hotel. Major Lewis Ginter and John Pope of | Richmond are occupying one of the Vir- ginia Hotel cottages. Among those from Washington staying here are Mrs. James Blair, Frank M. Fin- ley, E. Peters, Miss West, Mrs. Tilford, Judge Walter S. Cox, Mrs. M. R. C. Le- gare, A. B. Legare, Mrs. J.-M. Carlisle and maid, Dr. and Mrs. L. N. Bates, Mrs. W. P. Kellogg, Chas. E. Hooker, jr. From New York: John H. V. Arfiold, the sur- rogate; Mrs. Arnold, Miss Estelle Arnold and maid, Reginald K. Arnold, Miss 8. B. Stephens, Dr. J. P. Gleeson, Mr. and Mrs. Woolson Morse, Lieut. Col. J. H. Higbee and wife, Mrs. Henry Villard, Miss Villard and Mr. and Mrs. Julius S. Walsh. J. BE. B. a AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. How the Charters of Two Railronds Were Saved. ‘The charter of the Great Falls Railroad Company was saved last night through the running of a car on the rails, it being stip- ulated that a failure to do so by August 23 at midnight would work forfeiture. The charter of the Rosslyn extension of the Mount Vernon road is effective today also, through the same procedure. Several trips of the car were made on this line. Horses were used on the Arlington road. On this line a Metropolitan car was hauled, while a Glen Echo conveyance was used on The Great Falls tracks. Much difficulty was experienced in get- ting the Great Falls car in position, the horses used in its transportation from Glen Echo headquarters being stalled once or twice. The charter stipulates that the line must be in fuil operation by the time Congress next convenes. The Arlington extension of the Mount Vernon road runs now from Rosslyn to the National cemetery gate, and in a week or two will be through the government reser- vation. It follows closely the old Alexandria canal towpath for a long distance. The present terminus of the road is at Rosslyn, but those interested in electrical railroad matters say that the company will strongly endeavor at the coming session of Con- gress to secure legislation necessary to bring the tracks over the Aqueduct bridge to the union depot junction. The bed of the Arlington and Mt. Vernon road {s practically the same as that plan- ned for the Pennsylvania steam extension, which was begun about a year ago and then abandoned. As the property was bought by the Pennsylvania company, paid for by their reprosentatives, and as the iron for the electric extension has all been shipped in the name of the Pennsylvania company, it is believed there is no doubt that the Mount Vernon electric road is now the property, of that company. Apropos of the Great Falls road, the “Court Record” of yesterday shows the following under the head of deeds of trust: “The Washington and Great Falls Railway Company to the National Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company, to secure $500,000 in bonds, ten, twenty and thirty years, 6-per cent, all rights and franchises of said company.” The old Washington and Ar- lington road, which became a bankrupt, was sold out and bought in by Woodbridge, Turner & Company for only $2,500, has practically been abandoned. Old Bones Reburied. The numerous human bones exhumed by plumbers on R street between 33d and 24th streets yesterday were reburied at a con- siderable depth in the middle of the street. Care was taken that none should be ost or desecrated by the morbidly curious. To remove all the bones from this vicinity end properly reinter them in a cemetery would require a congressional appropriation, old residents say, they are so numerous. There are many large unfenced lots here on the outskirts of the town so rank with the odor of dead and living vegetation that the hygienic conditions of the sections are affected. As the owners'of much of this property cannot be reached, it is suggested that the chain gang, as of old, be put to work re- moving the nuisance. Officers say formerly “the gang” made regular beneficial incursions here, but of late years their operations have not ex- tended west of the creek, as far as has FOR GOOD ROADS A Parliament Called to Meat at Atlanta by Secretary Morton. What He Expects to Accomplish by the Meeting—Some Good Will Come From It. Secretary Morton of the Agricultural De- partment has issued a call for a good roads parliament, to meet at Atlanta in October. The Secretary thinks that an excellent op- portunity will be offered by this meeting to prcmote the good roads propaganda and to arouse public interest In the subject of improving the roads of this: country. “The mceting will at least accomplish,” said Secretary Morton to a Star reporter today, vhat. is always accomplished by the attrition of mind with mind. People will become aroused to the importance of the subject by the discussions and good will come of it. It we could ever get a iniform system of good roads in this coun- try it would reduce the cost of transporta- tion to the farmers over one-half. It has been estimated that the average cost to an Illinois farmer of hauling his products to the point of shipment is $2 per ton, and farmers everywhere will find that the great- est cost of the transportation of their products is for the distance between the farm and the depot. The Call Ixsned. The call issued by Secretary Morton ts as follows: The Secretary of Agriculture is charged by act of Congress to collect and disseminate information concerning the public rcads. To this end all legally authorized organizations of officials and of private individuals who have given special attention to this subjeat, are hereby notified that they are ccrdially invited by the gov- ernor and gereral assembly of the state of Georgia, the mayor and council of the city of Atlanta, the authorities of the cotton states and interrational exposition, and the various local commercial, military and so- celal organizaticns, together with the na- tional road ccnference and the National League for Gcod Roads, to the assembling of a “road parliament,” to be held in the hall of the hcuse of representatives at Atlanta on the 17th, 18th and 19th of Oc- tober, 1895. The invitation is urged upon all state highway commissions, state and local road improvement arscciations, and upon com- mercial bodies and boards of trade and transportation. Agricultural societies and farmers’ organizations, universities, agri- cultural volleges and engineering schools, societies of civil engineers, humane so- cieties, the League of American Wheelmen, carriage and bicycle builders’ associations and all other orgarizations or individuals especially concerted or experienced in the improvement of highways are likewise cor- dially solicited to be in attendance or rep- resented. It has been suggested that defegates at large may be appointed by the governors of states and asked to nariicipate and report directly to the governor of each commonwealth the results of the meeting. Real progress in road improvement is observed by the Department of Agriculture since the organization of the office of road inquiry. The importance of a general ex- change of views among those concerned in road_ legislation and construction throughout the United States cannot be overestimated. A majority of the states of the Unien have recently adopted new «ystems of road legislation. Many of them are actively engaged in road construction under 1ew methods. A comparison of methods and results will prove of the utmost value to the people. ——-_e+_____ Held on Suspicion. A colored man named William H. Mon- tague, who lives at No. 1247 Madison street, is locked up at the second precinct station on suspicion. Several days ago his wife tried to dispose of a diamond pin, and when Policeman Auidridge called at the house last night for an explanation Montague claimed that he found the pin on the street two weeks ago. As the pin is worth about $150, the police held him in order to find its owner. The prisoner has been in the employ of Samuel Sherwood, the plumber, for fifteen years and enjoys a good reputa- ion.
