Sonny Tyler and Albert Hawkins, col- ored rer, met in Jenning’s saloon, corner of 25th and E streets, Saturday night and figured in a fight, during which Hawkins recelyed severa: stab wounds about the chest and arms. He was attended at the Emergency Hospital and Tyler managed to escape arrest. Hawkins’ injuries are not serious. —————— Good Templurs’ Meeting. An enjoyable meeting of Perseverance Lodge, Good Templars, was held Saturday evening, when, among other things, it an- mounced that a series of public meetings will soon be held. After the business ses- sion a musical and literary program was rendered by Mrs. M. J. Frear, Miss Ida Lanham, Mrs. Kalstrom, Mr. A. W. Camp- be:l and Mr. George W. Choate. ———— Drowned on Sunday. Abraham Buchanan, a colored boy six- teen years ol, living at 325 Vant alley southwest, waded into the river at Buz- zard’s Point yesterday afternoon with the nnouncement that he was going to learn to swim before he got out of the water. He waded along in shallow water and was having a good time, when suddenly he stepped over the edge of the channel, where the water is fifteen feet deep. He rose twice and called for help, but his brother, who was the only person with him, could not swim, and he went down the third and last time. The body was recovered by the police boat Blackburn. Coroner Hammett, after viewing the re- Mains, decided that an inquest was un- hecessary. —_—.__. A Lively Affray. Yesterday morning about 12:15 o’clock two colored men, John H. Hughes and Frederick Jackson, ergeged in an affray near 25th and M streets. Jackson was struck on the head with a beer bottle. Hughes, it is alleged, also drew a pistol @nd fired at Jackson, the bullet passing through his shoe. Jackson's injury was peinful, but not serious, and the police did not appreheid his alleged assailant. —__»—__ An Exchange of Clothing. William Horton, a resident of Centre- ville, Fairfax county, Va., came to the city Saturday and made several purchases. When night came on he felt tired and went to the Smithsonian grounds and occupied one of the benches. To make himself more comfortable he removed his coat and vest, and also his shces. He had $2.50 in his vest pocket, and when he kad finished his nap he discovered that some one had trad- ed clothing with him. His good clothes Yere gone and the thief had left his cast- @ff garments there. —_—_—>—_—_ The Butchers’ Assembly. The regular sem!-monthly meeting of Butchers’ Assembly, which was held yes- terday afternoon at Plasterers’ Hall, cor- ner of Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street, ‘was unusually well attended. Thirteen new members were elected and obligated. After the ti ction of a great deal of business of interest only to members of the assem- Lly, the action of the Federation of Labor in ‘placing the Wckington and Soldiers’ ome railway and its branches on the un- fair list was indorsed. The assembly sclected a uniform to be worn in the Labor day parade. It will con- sist of black trousers, white shirt, white epron, white tie and black cap. The mem- ters will also wear badges, the design adepted containing a representation of two sausages linked, with a red rose in the center.. It was determined to hereafter meet the second and fourth Sundays of each month. ——— The Camp at Emory Grove. Fully 3,000 people assembled at Emory Grove, Montgomery county, Md., yesterday, where a very successful camp meeting Is being conducted Revs. Messrs. Myles and Lake, with Rev. J. H. Bally as gen- eral manager. The spectal attraction of yesterday was the annual sermon at 11 a.m, to the Good Samaritans of Montgom- ery county by the Rev. S$. Geriah Lam- i or of the Salem Baptist Church Rev. Moses Lake preached oon, and Rev. S. A. Lewis of M. E. Church of West Wash- ight.

This morning was Judge Scott’s last Morday morning for holding court during this season, for next Monday Judge Kim- ball will be back from his summer outing and then the “crap shooters” will dislike very much to appear and suffer the extra penalty Judge Kimball always imposes on them. The morning’s procession was a long and mixed one, men, women and children of both colors figuring in it. First in line came John Johnson,*a colored man, who was a victim of cholera morbus and the police Saturday night. “You are charged with trespassing on Stanton Park,” read Deputy Clerk Lum Harper, who had just returned from a trip to Wainut Point. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty, judge, yo" honah,’ ored man answered. “But,” he added, you s’cuse me I'd like to speak a word.’ “I hope your honor will take this man’s personal bonds,” said Policeman Williams, who made the arrest. “Step around here, John, said Judge Scott, ‘and tell me your story.” “My story is a very painful one, judge,” said the man in opening his remarks. “I was on dat bench Saturday night, and I was In such pain when de police came along dat I couldy’t move far. You see, judge, I had been er eatin’ peaches, clams and oysters, and I had what people calls de cramps. And as I was er’ sayin’, de po- lice told me ter move on, and, de Lord krows, I couidn’t move far, and den he ‘rested me. And, judge, if yer believe me, I was mighty glad I got locked up, ‘cause I got better.” : “That's a bad combination,” said the judge, who took his personal bonds and re- leased him. Chicken and Whisky Didn’t Work. His story of clams, oysters and peaches worked so well that Henry Johnson, the next colored man in line, told of a mixture of chicken and whisky, but there was noth- ing in this combination to call for clem- ency and the case was tried. “Saturday night,” sa‘d an officer, “I heard a complaint that this man had tried to get too near Polly Lawson's pocket book, and then I witnessed part of the trouble. When the man saw me he pretended that h2 was very drunk, and was using profane ian- guage.” Polly Lawson appeared and related her complaint against the man, and concluded by saying, “And he was very drunk.” “But I had been drinking.” said the pris- orer. “I was out Saturday night with some friends and I saw this woman, but didn’t do what she said I did. I went to an eating house and got a piece cf chicken and then I went to a salcon and got some the little col- if you were also what have you profane,” said the court; to say about that?” “J didn’t cuss an oath,” he answered. The charge against him was vagrancy and suspicion, and he was given fifteen days in default of bonds. Dan. Jackson, a colored man, was next in line for his misconduct on Pierce street Saturday night. He had a good time Sat- urday night, so he thought, and believing that the dancer should pay the fiddier, he said guilty to a charge of profanity and went down. This Dog Got Off. William Dade, a nicely dressed colored man, was in the procession. He had been locked up on complaint lodged against him by Policeman Wortz, who charged that he was the owner of~a fierce and dangerous dog, which was permitted to run at large. “There was a cat killed in an alley Sat- urday night,” said the officer, “and I reached there just as three dogs which had done the business, were being separaizd.” He was told that the dogs belonged to Dade, and so he made the complain “Dade’s dog did not kill the cat,” said the man who separated the canines. “His dog, the smallest of the three, was there, but the other dogs had hold of the cat.” Dade was not present when the fatal fight occurred, but he had something to say about the good character of the dog. There was no proof against the man, and he was acquitted. Lizzie Brooks, a good-looking colored wo! , attended camp meeting last even- ing and this morning she was in the pro- cession. She had a badly disfigured face and showed evidence of having been badly treated. Although she had been so pain- fully assaulted, her assailant was not put || under arrest. Policeman Clinton was the officer in the ease and he told of the alleged disorderly conduct. “I had attended camp meeting,” said the suffering woman, “and when I got home and went out in the yard I saw a man drawing a can of beer from a kes.” “And how much of it did you drink?” in- terrupted the court. “Not a drop,” she answered. “I said to the man, ‘Excuse me, but you are having a good time,’ and started in the house. Just then Lizzie Brent, who was jealous of the man, said I was in the yard with her friend, and struck me.” Vhat did you do?” othing.”” ‘hen why were you arrested?” ‘Deed I don't know.” either do I. You seem to have been badly treated in the fight, and you are dis- charged.” His Personal Bonds Taken. William Davis, a young colored man, complained against for alleged profanity, made a denial of the charge. “About what was he swearing?” Police- man Ellis was asked. “He was drunk,” the officer answered, “and was swearing at himself.” “I wasn’t swearing,” said Davis, “and if you continue the case I can get witnesses.” “What will become of you in the mean- time?” “I den't know,” answered the boy; “you can send me where you please.” “There doesn’t seem to be much in this case,” said the judge, “and I'll let you go on your personal bonds.” Daniel Nelson plead guilty to a charse of disorderly and went down for two weeks. James Harvey, alias Charles Benson, was in court asa suspicious person, and Policeman Hamilton said he was arrested because he was trying to dispose of a snide rirg. 5 He was released because he promised to leave here and go to Baltimore. A colored boy, carrying in a basket a cat with a bob-tail and abbreviated ears, appeared and exhibited the harmless little animal as evideuce in a cruelty to animals case. William Blackwell, a tall colored man, was defendant !u the case, and one of the Witnesses to his alleged confession said Blackwell tolé her he was sorry that he had injured her cat, and added: “I cut it tco short.” “I think he didn’t cut it short enough,” remarked Mr. Pugh. . “E didn't cut the cat,” satd the prisoner. “Some man brought a whole lot of short- tail cats In the alley, and one of the boys said he was going to make his cat look the cats the man had.” And you say you did not cut the cat’s Mr. Pugh asked. indeed, doctor, didn’t cut the cat’s ta ‘The case was dism' Biddy Boy Michael, otherwise known as “Biddy” Doyle, was in line as a vagrant and sus- picious person, because he was found try- ing to sell a lady’s fur coat. “I know him,” said Detective Boyd. “He's been in the penitentiary twice, and has cnly been out of jail a few weeks.” The prisoner said he was given the coat by a married lady to pawn, and he de- clined to give her name, for the reason that he did not want her husband to know of the transaction. Whisky, he said, 1s the canse of all his trouble. entence of fifteen days was imposed, and if the owner of the coat appears and corroborates Doyle's story he will be re- leased. —_— Extra for Labor Day. Steamer Richmond will leave same as regular schedule, 9 a.m.—Advt. THE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. About 400 Veterans Will Go to Louis- Ville to Participate in It. Department Commander Anderson has completed his estimate of the Grand Army attendance from Washington at Loufsville next month, and expects to be accom- panied by not less than 400 veterans in uniform in the grand parade. This is re- garded as a gratifying number, in view of the many members of the order that have lest their employments by rotations or re- ductions in the public service and the de- pression of private business. The posts that are going to Louisville as organizations, so far as determined, are Jehn A. Rawlins, No. 1; Kit Carson, No. 2; Lincoln, No. 3; Oliver P. Morton, No. 4 (col- ored). The rest of the 400 will attach them- selves to one or the other of these posts for the parade. Rawlins, Carson and Lin- coln posts have a great reputation in tke Grand Army, and the Louisville papers are preparing to present them, historically and pictorially, to the people of that city and the southwest. Mtch regret is felt in Grand Army circles that Henry Wilson, No. 17, the flourishing post at the Soldiers’ Home, cannot go to Louisville in organized form. This is the only post in the Grand Army composed en- tirely of regular soldiers, each with a civil war record, and some with records in id- dition reaching back to the Mexican-war, and forward to almost the latest Indian campaign. It would cost at least a thou- sand dollars to send fifty of these soldierly old fellows to parade at Louisville, which is an amount far beyond their own means, and they have not gone outside their own ranks for assistance. As usual, the posts and comrades will go by all routes to Louisville. The official train bearlng the department commander and his staff, operated in sections, will carry the Women’s Relief Corps, the Old Guard, the Mount Pleasant Field Band, Kit Carson and Lincoln posts, znd many Sons of Veterans, with members cf their Ladies’ Aid, who mean to visit the Grand Army at Louisville prior to attending their own encampment at Knoxville. The corps of aids from this department helonging to the staff of the commander-in-chief are also to be provided with a car on the offi- cial train. Less than the usual interest is felt at Washington in the approaching election of national officers for the Grand Army. Senior Vice Commander-in-chief Walker of Indiana is regarded as surely slated for the commandership-in-chief, and as In- diana is deemed to be entitled to the honor, and Comrade Walker is personally accept- able, the delegation from here are antic- ipating a quiet and solid ballot for the man in the lead. By the usage of courtesy, Louisville would be entitled to have one of the vice commanders-in-chief taken from one of the posts in that city, but the Kentucky comrades are hopelessly divided between Maj. Minton of Louisville, the candidate of the citizens’ commit‘ee, and Col. Hobson, from the interior of the state, so that the desired compliinent to the en- tertaining city can hardly be paid_this year by the National Encampment. There are no candidates for national officers from this department. William Hunter Myers, the patent attor- ney of this city, will occupy the seat in the Louisville encampment to which the la- mented Green Clay Smith was elected at the department encampment last March. At the request of that department a reso- lution will be offered at Louisville provid- ing for the admission of Sons of Veterans to post meetings of the Grand Army. ———— H. A. NAGEL'S SUICIDE. He Cut His Throat Knife. Last Wednesday was the last day that H. A. Nagel, who was in the chinaware business in South Washington, was seen alive. Saturday night the police forced their way into his store at 321 7th street and found his dead body in rear of the store. He had committed suicide by cut- ting his throst with a dull knife. Death had occurred at least forty-eight hours be- fere his body was found, for it was badly decomposed. Written on a piece of paper and left near where the man’s body was found was the following: I leave all my property, real and person- al, to, amounting to about $7,000. H. A. NAGEL. Send to Charleston, S. C., S24 King street. ‘This document, which was, of course, in- tended for the dead man’s will, was no doubt written in a hurry, and he neglected to put in the name of the person to whom he intended to leave his property. The fact that the store had been closed for three days and nothing had been seen of the man aroused the suspicion of neigh- bors, and it was because of their state- ments that Policemen Hertert and Espey forced their way into the store and found the dead body. Deceased had only been in business at the 7th street store a short while. He was about thirty-five years of 2ge, and came here from Charleston, S. C., and opened the second-hand store, which to all appearances was not much of a suc- cess. Failure in business, it Is thought, prompted the man to commit the deed. Undertaker Lee took charge of the body, and will ship it to South Carolina this evening. In preparing the body for shipment the undertaker discovered that there was a cut in the unfortunate man’s wrist. —— HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY. With a Dull Samuel Douglass is Now Charged With Grand Larceny. Samuel Douglass, the young man who married Miss Bussius and then deserted her in Baltimore after spending some of the money she had received because of her father’s death in the Ford’s Theater disas- ter, is again in trouble. This time the charge agairst him {s grand larceny, and the grand jury will make an investigation. He hired a bicycle from F. S. Cahill at 18th and Pennsylvania avenue, so it is charged, and failed to return it. While on the wheel he met with an accident and succeeded in breaking two bones in his hand. He went to Providence Hospital and had the wound- ed hand mended, and while there he at- tempted to pass a worthless check on Sister Beatrice, so it is stated. Detectives Carter and Gallaher arrested Douglass Saturday right, and this morning in the Police Court he was charged with the grand larceny of the bicycle. His counsel waived in ex- amination, and the case was sent to the grand jury. Judge Mills fixed the bond at $00. _ In Praise of the Conductors. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The public is a hard master, and God help the man who serves the public. To be sure, there are compensations, such as high public station and generous pay, but in the case of such humble, meagerly-com- pensated public servants as, for instance, street car conductors, there is no such silver lining to a very somber cloud. Long hours, modest pay and requirements so varied and so exacting that the period of daily toil is one constant strain. That Is the lot of a street car conductor. And, in addition to this, is the ever-present knowl- edge that the slightest deviation from the long list of “rules,” the most innocent oversight, is apt to be reported to the com- pany by a spotter, or to be made the sub- ject of a newspaper communication by one of the many patrons who have an eagle eye for the motes that may happen in the eyes of their neighbor. It is an easy thing to find something to censure in the con- duct of the most perfect of men. It is an easy thing to deprive a conductor or any other minor public servant of the oppor- tunity of earning a support for his family. But it is small business for all that. I am led to these remarks by the evidence, lately displayed, of an apparent effort to “re- form” the manners of the class of em- ployes referred to. It is uncalled for, so far as my long experience teaches me. I make frequent use of our street cars, Iam fairly observant of the manners and the habits of the street car employes. And I can truthfully bear testimony that for courtesy to patrons, for apparent fidelity to their many duties, the conductors of Washington street cars, so far as my ob- servation of some thirty years may bear testimony, ceserve hearty commendation. In fact, as to courtesy and thoughtful con- sideration, the conductors may well stand as shining examples to some of their critics. AUGUST DONATH. —s A Bicyclist Hurt. John Kraft, a bicycle rider, collided with a wagon near Pennsylvania avenue and 20th stieet Saturday night. He was thrown from his machine and his right arm was severely hurt. The police removed him to his home, 1052 Jefferson street, In the pa- trol wagon. SUNDAY Ih CAMP Orowds Attended the Various Servicas at Washington Grove Yesterday. All Were of Unusual Interest — The Country Politician Was on Hand Also for Business. Correspondence of The Eventag: Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 26, 1895. The dark cloud that arose in the west late Saturday night and was heralded with delight by the people in camp as a possible relief from the drouth and dust that has marred the full enjoyment of the placi passed us by, with only a slight sprinkle, and the real discomfort which a dry and dusty Sabbath brings wag fully realized. A pall of dust outlined the vehicle ap- proaches to the camp before 9 o'clock, and the dust coat and whisk broom were as necessary to the outfit as the hamper of chicken and the big watermelon. The great slaughter of fowls would indicate a rise in the egg market during the coming winter. The morning audience that filled the tabernacle and its environs to overflowing was largely made up of the county~ co: tingent. Teams of every style and denom!- ration had been filing through the three gateways, and they filled every available nook in the spaces allotted to them. ‘The lumbering farm wagon, filled with fragrant straw in leu of springs, was largely in evidence and deservedly popular, because of its seating capacity. Dr. Todd of Ham- Ine preached a masterly sermon to en overflowing audience at 11 o'clock a.m, His theme was the “Priesthood of Christ.”” It was an attentive audience, but the usual and annual handshaking and ‘How’d'y, John?” “how's all?" was being exchanged on every hand, and the buttonholing of the doubtful constitutent by the confident politiclan was not a whit-behind the zeal of former years. ‘There was marked activity on ‘Political Hill,” and the candidates showed their appreciation of it as a vantage ground by their unstinted Kberality when the basket was passed for the morning- offering. The day’s collections aggregated $200. The crowd was largely cugmented when the 2:15 p.m. train unloaded its hundr=ds at the station. Grove avenue was one con- tinuous stream of good-natured humanity wending its way toward the tabernacle, guided thereto by the call of-Prof. Glen “Poole’s cornet, which was accompanying the children’s’ voices at their afternoon service. This was a popular gathering, but many resorted to the Y. P. temple, where the quiet calm of the mothers’ meeting was very restful. Mrs. Robert Cohea, who has been prevented by illness from attending this, her special service, was presentgand presided. It was a happy thought of the elder to substitute a Gospel song service for the 3 pm. sermon. The attention of the surg- ing tide cf humanity was caught and held by the sweet notes from a half hundred trained singers, as they swelled in the good cld songs of Zion. Prof. Percy Foster of the Moody choir was in charge. Prof. Poole played a cornet solo, accompanied on the organ by Prof. Foster, and the tal- ented leader sang “My Mother's Praye: and “The Land That Never Grows Old’ as solos, and the duets, “Home at Last,” set to the music of “Far Away” was sung by Mr. Will Palmer anf Prof. Foster. It a thoroughly good-natured-crowd that dispersed through the many avenues, notwithstanding the dainty toilets that erstwhile had been chaste and beautiful, that now had taken om another hue and were ready for the laundry or oblivion. It was the wise woman who wore her “warranted to wash” gown, The silk-clad lady will tomorrow regret her coming, but the summer girl, with ber organdy’ and duck suit, will reappear, looking as fresh and fetching as ever. A feature of the young people's vesper service was the singing: Before the even- ing preaching service matry had left the encampment, largely by rail, however, as many of the visitors from the neighbor- ing county side avatle@’ themselves ofthe moonlight, and stayed over’and thus avold- ed much of the dust that was alist stifling earlier in the evening. i Dr. Widerman preached and stirred™the people to enthusiasm by ils earmmest words of exhortation, based upon Acts: 9th chap., 6th verse. The sermon Saturday afternoon by Rev. Hedding Leech, youngest son of Dr. G. V. Leech, was altogether an able discourse for one so young. It was a decorous and orderly gathering that spent the Sabbath here. There was no work for the sheriff and his corps of deputies, and the conduct of the crowd was unimpeachable. A colored man was arrest- ed for using profane language on the coun- ty road leading to the colored camp in pro- gress at Emory Grove. A Washington man, colored, named Da- vis, was taken by ’Squire Stonestreet from the colored camp, charged with carrying concealed weapons. He was carried to Rockville by the evening train and will be given a hearing on Monday. Special attractions will be provided for the five remaining days of the camp meet- Ing. The watering cart might enhance our comfort, but the trustees are apprehensive and deem it unsafe to draw too heavily on the wells while the protracted drouth is unbroken. President Gee 1s confined to his cottage by a mild attack of his old trouble, and his genial personality is greatly missed in the camp. Mr. John Stone of Potomac arrived Sat- urday and pitched his tent at the corner of 3d avenue and Broadway. This stretch of canvas is a novel sight in this woodland village, and because of its suggestiveness of the auld aung syne of Methodist camp meetings is the center of attraction. Several unoccupied cottages were rented on Saturday and are now tenanted. Mrs, Tretler and sister are occupying the Polkinhorn cottage. Judge Thompkins and wife of Capitol Hill were yesterday the guests of their son, Moncur Thompkins, at the hotel. Mr. M. G. Emory is among the late ar- rivals and is quartered at the Albany. Mrs. R. E. Foster and Miss Brantly Fos- ter of Baltimore are here and have apart- ments at the Hotel Albany. Other visitors of prominence at camp to- day were Judge Dare Grifith, Dr. Etchi- son and Dr. Stonestreet of the county, H. M. Talbott and family of Rockville, Mrs. Andrew Duval, Miss Walker, Mr. Charles Hay of Washington. Miss Black, Miss Annie L. Black and Mrs. A. Black are visiting Mrs. Robert Cohen. Mrs. Capt. Ripley, who has been confined to her room by sickness, is again among her friends. Personally, Conducted Tours to Wat- kins and Magara Fails.

Nicolai Brothers Deny That They Are Unlawfally Occupying the Street. ‘The alleged obstruction of Half street by the Nicolai Bros. was brought to the at- tention of the District authorities this morning. It will be recalled that Prose- euting Attorney Pugh instituted proceed- ings against this firm last week, and upon the defendants taking out a writ of certio- rari, additional charges were filed each day, the prosecuting attorney believing that the defendants wanted to delay the final settle- ment of the case. It appears that this is erroneous. It was explained today by the defendants that they were the owners of the property adjacent, and had been in- -formed by their attorney that their title extended to the James Creek canal. At least they had a riparian right there. Also that prior to the time they erected the fence the ground immediately abutting their oil works was used as a dumping ground for all sorts of inflammable ma- terlal, rendering the oil works liable at any time to destruction. They insisted that it was not their purpose to prolong the case, but they were anxious for a final settle- ment, —_—._—_. EXCURSIONS. The steamer Harry Randall will leave every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday for Chapel Point at 9 a.m. and returning just thirty-three hours from the time of start- ing. These are the thirty-three-hour ex- cursions which Captain Randall has in- augurated to this pleasure spot on _ the Potomac river, and that they are daily growing in popularity is evinced by the great numbers who avail themselves of the opportunity to get away from the city for a short time. The fare for the round-trip 1s $2, including transportation, lodging, supper and breakfast at Hotel Belleview. The green lawns and beautiful grounds of Marshall Hall wili be crowded Wednes- day with numbers of pleasure seekers. The cceasion will be the eleventh annual tour- nament and grand dress ball, the former to take place in the afternoon and the lat- ter in the evening. Invitations are ex- tended to every one living near enough to the place to reach it in a day, and it is expected that the largest crowd in the history of the place will be present. The entries are already very large, and the girls who live in the surrounding country are making the greatest amount of prepa- ration for the event, for they may be crowned a maid and perhaps the queen of love and beauty. The knights will ride in costume at 12 noon for a prize consisting of the entrance fees of the knights, with $75 added thereto by the management of the place. The crowning of the queen and maids will take place in the evening, after which the ball will be started, to last until the wee small hours of the morning. Schroeder’s excellent orchestra will dis- course the music for the dancers, and will render the selections for the tournament in the afternoon. Everything conducive to the general comfort and pleasure of the guests will be provided, and the manage- ment has gone to great expense to make the affair an entire success. Seats will be provided for the ladies at the tournament, and a number of dressing rooms will be conveniently located for those who take part in the ball in the evening. The regu- lar fare will prevail, and the Macalester and River Queen will carry those in safety who may wish to witness the evolutions of ye gallant knights. > Mrs. Averill’s Funeral.
