Crony Green, a little colored newsboy, was cut in the thigh by another newsboy at the corner of 7th street and the ‘avenue yesterday morning. He was taken care of -at the Emergency Hospital. a _ Fall of Buckshot. John Alban, a colored man, came to the Emergency Hospital yesterday, _pretty thoroughly shut to pieces. He said an- other colored man had shot him during the night in a dark room over in Hillsdale. His right arm, chest, shoulder and jaw were full of buckshot. It is a marvel he escaped alive. Dr. McDonald picked him out of the buckshot and tied him together. Some of the shot are still in him, and it will not be safe for John to go swimming very soon. paki aaa For a Relief Fund. Lafayette. Relief Corps, W. R. C., gave an entertainment last night at 910 Pennsylva- nia avenue northwest, for the purpose of replenishing their relief fund, from which many widows and orphan# of old soldiers are cared for in sickness and through the hard times. Mrs. Annie Hamilton, presi- dent, gave an address. The program, mu- sical and Uterary, was one of unusual in- terest. — ‘The Royal Crescent. * At the last mectirg of Crescent Lodge, Order of the Royal Crescent, the vice pres- fdent, Mrs. Mattie E.

Refreshments wete served at the close of the meeting. eed For a Cutting Affray. Robert Quiet, “the colored man charged with having cut and seriously injured Will- jam Lee, Monday night, was arrested in South Washington last night and locked up on a charge of attempted murder. Lee, his alleged victim, is resting comfortably in tke hospital. Today Quiet was taken to the Police Court, and the case will be tried when Lee is able to appear. —__—>__ The Golden Cro Columbia Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, at its meeting last ev2n- ing received one application for member- ship, and conferred the degrees on two lady candidates.

Brad- ley, Past Noble Commander Mrs. Anna A. Harvey, Worthy Herald Wm. E. Talley. Interesting remarks under the good of the order were made by Dr. Dickinson, Mrs. Sullivan, E. Q. Gunson, & E. Harvey, Jas. F. Kilgore of° Capital Commandery and others. At the next meeting, on the 10th of September, the degrees will be con- ferred. wee eee Struck Bridget Nicholson. Bridget Nicholson, the woman who is so well known on 15th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue as"“Mary, the Newswoman,” had an unpleasant experience while getting her Stars yesterday afternoon. She always gets her papers early, and yesterday when @ boy was crowded out of line Bridget was charged by James Cole, a colored boy, with being responsible for the boy's misfortune. He took sides with the boy and in doing so he went too far. He evidently forgot that Bridget was a woman, and for no apparent reason he dealt her a stunning blow in the face, drawing blood from her nose, and he also kicked her. Policeman Carlsson ap- peared on the scene and arrested Cole, who was locked up for assault. When the case was called in Judge Mills’ court today the priscner plead not ‘guilty and made a state- ment in which he attempted to justify his conduct. But the court could see no justi- fication and imposed a sentence of ninety days in jail and a fine of $20 or thirty days additional, SSS Personally Conducted Tours to Wat- kins and Ningara Falls.

Only One Representative of the Gentle Sex, and She Gets a Fine. “I've been in this place a whole lot of times,” said Maggie Lee, a colored wo- man, who was the only person in the fe- males’ cell this morning, “but never before have I had the whole cell to myself.” “What's the matter this time?” she was asked. “Nothing much,” she answered. “More than a year ago I had trouble with a girl, and had to leave town after I beat her. I thought it was all over, and so I came back. Then I went to work at Takoma, and when we met we had a cussin’ match.” “And did you strike her again?” “I never teched her. But I am going to let whisky alone now and keep out of trouble for one more year.” Maggie was given a back seat when the prisoners were turned into the pen from the cells, but when Judge Scott appeared on the bench and court was opened her case was advanced, and she was first to appear*at the prison rail. There were only nineteen police victims in the cells, and fifteen of them were in Judge Scott's procession. “I-don’t know whether I cussed or no,” shz said when arraigned; “but I am guilty of saying two things. I told her that a man who had lived with me gave her spme groceries.” When the judge questioned her she said she had been laying for Emma Foster for three years to beat her because she’s living with her friend. “You will have to pay a fine of $5,” said the judge. “That don’t make no difference,” said: Maggie as she started back; “I'm detor- mined to beat her before I die.” ‘William Patton, a small colored boy, plead guilty to a charge of jumping on a cable car while the car was in motion. “You will have to pay a fine of $2,” said the court. “If you keep up this practice you'll get killed, and that will be worse than paying a fine.” S ed Things. John Reynolds, a citizen of Georgetown, who had indulged in some “red l«quor” yesterday, represented his section of the city in the precession. When he had drank what liquor he want- ed, he started across the bridge, but be- fore going over there he stopped at the of- i on the bridge long enough to paint the joor. “TI was in the office when he came along,” said the bridgekeeper. “He beat the office with such force that he upset th> ink and “With his fist.” “Was he disorderly or profane?’ “No, sir; he only did the damage I staged.’ e prisorer made a denial of the charge, but admitted that he slapped the side of the office while passing it. “Had you been drinking?” “Yes, sir.” “So far as the breaking of the glass is concerned,” raid Judge Scott, “that is only @ question of damages, but you will have to psy a fine of $2 for being drun! A little boy namei Columbus ‘Thomas, also from Georgetown, wes in court for throw- ing stones, and he admitted his guilt. “What made you do this?” “A man got after me,” the little boy said, “and I threw two bricks at him in self de- fense.”” “You should not take the law in your own haxds,” e2id the judge, “and you will have to pay a dollar a brick.” “You are fined $2," said the bailiff, “can pay the fine?” 35 paven’t any money or frferds here.’ “Then you will have to step hack.” . And the little boy was’ put in the cage with the prisoners instead of h<ing given @ seat outside until a friend sent‘his fine. Just Returned. = Mike Garvey was in the toils as a va- grant, and when arraigned he said: “I was drunk.” “This man,” sald Policeman O’Brien, ‘has been away, and eight days ago he return- ed. He has been drunk every day, and when he bess about Washington Circle and is refused,-he curses the people who refuse him. x . “T've been working up in Pennsylvania,” said the prisoner. “Why didn’t you stay there?” the cpurt asked. “There's more room in Pennsylvania than there is here.” He -was given thirty days. “I'm guilty of being drunk, but not cus- sin’,” said a Georgetown colored man, named Edward Mason. The policeman told a different story. He said that Mason was drunk and pro- fane, and gave him a great amount of trouble. “As you are a working man,” said the judge, “I'll fine you only $2 or six days.” Edward Whalen, a Georgetowneresident, was in the procession on two charges. He was drinking yesterday, and when he got ins trouble with some boys he threw a stone and broke a window. Judge Scott listened to the man’s expla- nation. He did not remember all that hap- pened, but his excuse was not a good one. Drinking whisky and throwing stones, the judge told him, was a bad combination, and fined him $10 or thirty days. Other Cases. Charles Wood, a young colored citizen, appeared very tired when Deputy Clerk Harper called him to the rail to answer a charge of .discrderly concuct. Charlie was to all appearances just getting ready for a morning nag, but when he heerd his name called he jumped from his seat and said “guilty.” = He had been arrested in South Washing- ton, end the usual fine was imposed. Daniel Robinson, a cclored man from Anacostia, was in the procession because he had indulged in some profanity in front of his home last night. “I don’t use no flame talk,” said the man, “cause I belongs to churc! Policeman Brarson’s evidence was con- clusive, and the court fined him the ustal amount, $5 or fifteen days. Winston Allen, a colored boy from Rich- mond, who says he trains race horses, was tried as @ suspicious person. He waited in front of a store on Pennsylvania avenue southeas: yesterday while his companion went in and stole several dollars. His sentence was ten days on the farm. — The Capitol Concert.

AMUSEMENTS, Robert Downing.—The Grand Opera House will open for the season next Monday, and the initial attraction will be Sardou’s trag- edy, “Helena,” presented by Robert Down- ing and his company. Mr. Downing secur- ed this play at considerable cost, and has spared no expense to give it a fitting pre- sentation. New scenery has been painted especially for it and the costumes will be elaborate and historically accurate. The title role will be played by Miss Eugenie Blair (Mrs. Downing) and is said to be strongly drawn and within her particular line. Mr. Downing’s part will afford him opportunity for the display of that heroic and virile type of man for which nature has peculiarly fitted him. His company is an unusually strong one and will adequate- ly interpret the great French dramatist’s work. Mr. Downing is a Washingtonian, and this community is proud of the hon- orable record he has made upon the stage. His popularity here in his home is very great, and there is no doubt that the capac- ity ‘of the Opera House will be tested dur- ing his engagement. Already great interest has been excited in the coming production of “Helena,” and many requests for seats have been made. The sale will open at the box office tomorrow morning. Miaco’s City Club.—T. E. Miaco’s Spec- tacular Farce Comedy Company will be Manager Kernan’s attraction for next week. The City Club is one of the most pepular and complete burlesque organiza- tions on the road. This season Manager Miaco has been exceedingly lavish in ex- penditure on costumes and scenery, every- thing being new, rich and striking. The opening burletta, “The City Club in Gay Paree," presents a number of marvelous effects in stagecraft, both mechanical and electrical, the transformation scene being the most extravagant affair ever seen on a variety stage. The olio which follows contains many new features, including the French eccentrics, Paula and Dika; Tom Nolen, the parody singer; Chas. V. Semon, the clever mimic; the Sisters Milburn, char- acter change artists; Fred Bulla, the acro- atic dancing wonder, and Harry Bryant and Carrie Fulton, the comedy duo. The closing burlesque, “A Tempting Town,” will serve to introduce the dashing queen of burlesque, Fannie E. Everet. The art- ist’s studio scene will be a feature of this part of the program. The Bohemian Club.—The Bohemian Dra- matic Club will give an entertainment at the arsenal tomorrow night for the benefit of the Temperance Union, located there. The program is an interesting one, and the cast includes some of the best amateur talent of the city. “A Pair of Lunatics,” “We Speak French” and “A Tiger Trapped” = be presented. An informal dance will follow. Lafayette Square Opera House.—It 1s as- serted that Manager Albaugh will open the new Lafayette Square Opera House on the 23d of September without fail, and all ar- rangements looking to that event are now being made. Mr. Harry C. Fisk will be as- sociated with Mr. Albaugh as _ resident manager. Mr. Victor Johnson will be the musical director. Mr. Johnson was in the orchestra under the late Prof. R. C. Ber- nays, with whom he studied, and has de- veloped into a musician of more than or- dinary ability. He will have several of the best musicians in the city in his force, among whom will be S. Petrola, cornetis: A. Coda, clarinetist; Harry Stone, tro: L. M. Kruger, viola; Wm. Haley, flutist; Wm. Thierbach, jr., first violii Wm. Sautlemann, second violin; Wm. Boller, bass, and S. Johnson, drums. The orchestral selections will be a feature of the evening’s entertainrent. ese a EXCURSIONS. The regular Thursday night trip of the steamer Macalester will take place tomor- Tow evening, at 6:30, to Indian Head and Marshall Hal. As the season is now draw- ing to a close, a great number of people are taking advantage of these Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening trips to es- cape from the heat and glare of the hot city, and spend a brief period on the waters of the beautiful Potomac, and, as an evi- dence that the trips are increasing steadily in popularity, the fact is shown that sev- eral times already the boat has been com- pelled,. by lack of space, to go and leave several hundred people standing on the wharf., The. regular Friday and Saturday evening trips will also be made this week. The Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 9: tomorrow morning for an all-day trip to Chapel Point. The boat will stop at Alex- andria at 10:15, and will arrive in Wash- ington about 10 o'clock at night. The fare for the round trip is twenty-five cents, and a@ large crowd is expected by the manage- ment. It will be one of the most enjoy- able family excursions of the season, and, as this will be one of the last trips to this beautiful place during the present time, there is every likelihood that the prediction of a crowd will be fulfilled. The greatest crowd in the history of Marshall Hall left on the morning and afternoon boats today to witness the tour- rament, which te being held at the Hall. The boats were crowded to their utmost capacity, and it seemed impossible to carry a single person more without exceeding the danger limit. The crowd from this city and intermediate points en route was aug- mented by the people who live in the sur- rounding country about Marshall Hall, and who were on hand early to participate in and see the festivities of the day. They came by every conceivable fashion—riding, driving and walking—and with only one cbject in view—that of getting there and seeing their boys win the tournament. The tilling started at 12 o'clock, and the entries were numerous. The greatest enthusiusm prevailed, and each knight was cheered as he rode to take his position in line. Schroeder’s Orchestra furnished excellent music for the occasion, and added not a little to the enjoyment of the day. The dress ball, at which the crowning of the queen and maids of honor will take place, will occur this evening, and will last until an early hour in the morning. A number of Washingtonians are expected down on the evening boats, which will leave at 5 and 6:45 p.m. Alligon Wilmer delivered the oration of the day, and his effort was a very happy one. Mr. Robert Crain will ae- liver the oration this evening in presenting the successful knights and announcing the crowning. This coming Saturday will be the last one of the season at popular River View. It will be the last chance the little ones will have to spend the day at this beautiful place, as it will also be the last family day of the season. The children are allowed to go for 10 cents on the two morning boats Saturday, together with their parents and friends, and no effort ts spared to enable them to have a good time. As this is the last trip of the season, it is expetted that the grounds will hardly be large enough 10 hold the numbers who will probably take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy an outing for almost nothing. Saturday will be the last trip of the-4ron steamer Harry Randall to Chapel Point. These trips on the fast-flying boat hav been very much enjoyed, and it is a since-e regret that they are to be brought to a close. Capt. Randall is very much pleased with the support which he has received in trying to make these trips pleasant and en- joyable, and he has succeeded wonderfully well, and has made many thousands of friends by his excellent management. ———— Attempted Burglary. An attempt was made by two colored men to force an entrance into the store of George Gulick, corner of ist and C streets southeast, about 1:30 o'clock this morn- ing, but they were frightened away before accomplishing their purpose by Night Watchman Alexander McKie, who has a number of builditgs to look after in the neighborhood. Mr. McKie fired a revolver at the men, after finding he could not cap- ture them in their act, but his shot failed to take effect. The would-be robbers Icft a large crowbar, which they had used in trying to get into the building, behind them, and this was taken to the fifth pre- cinct station by Officer Ryan, who was attracted to the scene by the noise of the shooting. ——+_——. For Maintenance. A petition for maintenance has been filed by Rachel A. Beall, the wife of Charles Beall, in which the wife states that they were married here July 28, 1856, six of their eleven children still living. Mrs. Beall charges that her husband wrongfully deserted her in 1886, but allowed her for a time $50 a month. That amount, she says, has been gradually reduced, until of late she has received but $15 a month, She claims that her husband owns considerable property, and insists that he should allow her a reasonable amount for her main- tenance. The petition was presented to Judge McComas, who directed that the husband show cause why the petition should not be granted on the 3d of next month. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN One of Ooxey’s Army Agrested and-Turned Over td the Maryland Authorities. Mrs. Wilmot’s Attempted Suicide— Right of Way Secured for the Great Falls R. R. Comgany—Notes. A man unprepossessing in appearance, ragged, unshaven erd wisagreeable-look- ing all around, was brought to the station yesterday by Officer Murphy. The fellow, who gave his name as Joseph Newell, is suspected of mary petty robberies, all committed beyond the District line. At the station he practically acknowledged his guilt. He had no right to work, he said, there were enough mules in the country to perform necessary labor. While he could get $4 or $5 worth of goods daily, he didn’t intend to overwork his muscles. His body vas given him to develop and make more like his Creator’s—not to wear and tear away. He said that he was a remnant of the Coxey army, and had been “stag- ging” it about the country since his advent last May. Newell being en offender who comes un- der Maryland jurisdiction was turned over to Sheriff Green of Montgomery county. He dicn’t seem to care much, and re- marked that he wouldn't have to hustle now for food. It would be brought to him by the servants of the people, the prison attaches. A Right of Way Secured. The legal controversy that has been Pending over the efforts of the Washington and Great Falls Railroad Company, repre- sented by Stilson Hutchins and Jacob P. Clark, to secure a right of way through the Green Springs property, owned by Messrs. J. B, McCaffrey and Wm. H. Ma- nogue, was satisfactorily settled yesterday through an amicable agreement, legally bound, made in Mr. Manogue’s: -office. Through the agreement the injunction and all other proceedings now pending against the company-will be dismissed. The Wash- ington and Great Falls Company pufchased outright from the Green Springs owners 3,900 square feet, paying for Jt $2,250. As this sale, however, cut the ftact.in two, and would shut off the northern portion from the road, Mr. Manogue secured in re- turn from the Great Falls people an irre- vokable right cf way over the deeded piece. This preserves to the owners of the bal- ance of the property the use of the college branch, formerly used for milling purposes. An entire right of way has now been se- cured by the company from the George- town to Great Falls terminus. ‘There is a-big force at work on the road and an early completion is looked for. An Attempted Suicide. Shattered health and an impaired mind were the causes which induced Mrs. Ellen Wilmot to attempt suicide last night. Her éffort,though, was discovered before a fatal- ity resulted. Mrs. Wilmot selected lina- ment as her agent. Only prompt attendance kept life open, as tc a woman of her dis- crganized constitution a :whole bottle of the burning stuff taker. internally meant Geath. For some days her‘chusband has been watching her, and wen: she disappeared from the rcom at abouti? o'clock, and he heard her a moment later violently vomit- ing and groaning witt:pain, he rushed for the doctor, after a momezrt of personal in- vestigation. Drs. Ritchievand Kleinschmidt came. They worked leng'and finally suc- cessfully upon the woman. When seen last night Mrs. Wilmot could give no excuse for her act. She said she ew not what madecher drink the lina- ment. She said, though;‘her health had been miserable since the'birth of Her last child. She has seven schfdren—all small. Mr. Wilmot is a blacksmith by trade. No other cause than temporary aberration could be assigned for the attempt. The linament takea contained # large proportion of aconite. ‘ Obkervations @preadiug.. — © The “Oves Pascientes” -Society; designed to develop the art of*ebservation an@’'to preserve newspaper and other information, which, without special attention, would be lost to posterity, is. spreading its member- ship here end in the Maryland towns large- ly through the untiring energy of the premoter, Pr, Rufus Choate of this: place. “Observations” are coming in already, even frem distant states. Today Dr. Choate, as father of the movement, received a let- ter from a North Carolina “observer,” ad- dressed to “The Revealer of Ancient Egyptian Astrology.” ‘Through these ob- servations a heretofore unnoticed corre- spondence in nature, the knowledge of which promises to be of vast importance to the world, will exhibit itself, the doctor says. Several of the observers are devot- ing certain hours Gaily to an uninterrupted scrutiny of nature and correspondences. Notes. The special religious meetings at the Baptist Church in Tenleytown are still going on. Tuesday night Lawyer J. D. Habbick made an earnest address. He spoke on the healing of Blind Bartemus. Other addresses were made by Mr. John- son, Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Hilton. The church was well filled with earnest listen- ers. At the close of the meeting several seekers expressed a desire to be specially prayed for. The Misses Della and Katharine McGirr, -after a stay at Colonial Beach, have re- turned to the city. To conform with the grade of the ex- tended Washington and Georgetown tracks the District government has decided to raise the level of the sidewalks on upper M street fourteen Inches. —— Were Not Gypsies. it now transpires that the band of syp- posed gypsies who camped on Congress Heights, near Anacostia, a few days ago were nothing more than some of the push- cart venders from this city, who probably went over there because business was dull in the city. When the police scattered the crowd, and drove them from there, they found’a large pile of corn piled near where they had camped; and this corn, it is al- leged, had been taken from a cornficld near by. Policemen Allen and Branson made an investigation of the case, and the result was that last night they caused the arrest of five alleged members of the party.on a charge of malicious trespass. When the crewd had been frightened off the officers found that they had built a fire, and were evoking roasting ears and beef. The persons arrested gave thelr names as John Kringeman, George Collis, John Schuyler, Penge Boppes and Peter Leo- narde. Judge Mills heard the case today, and fined the defendants $5 or fifteen days each. PPS PVOOODOSE OD AOS OOOOOOOOS e ies and Weary.

Benning Citizens Discui Labor Schools. ‘There was an unusually interesting and lively meeting of the Benning Citizens’ Agsociation last evening, which was cailead to order by Vice President Mewshaw. Be- sides a good number of members, several ladies were present to listen to the discus- sion of the monthly topic, “Manual Train- ing in the Public Schools,” which waxed so warm that the chairman was compelled to call members to order several times. After roll-call and reading of minutes of last meeting the road committee made its report, which was accepted, and then the committee on education, through Mr. Mew- shaw, reported that they had held a meet- ing, at which it was ascertained, first, that the shop in which the boys and girls of Benning were being taught different trades, &c., was located about a mile from the school house; second, that one room in the school house was improperly heated in the winter time, and third, that the furniture in rooms where the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades are taught is of an antiquated pattern and wholly insuffi- cient to accommodate the pupils. In view of the foregoing facts the committee recom- mend that an addition be built to the pres- ent school house of sufficient size to ac- commodate the :anual training and the cooking and sewing schools, and that an additional stove be provided for Mrs. Voor- hees’ room, as well as rew and sufficient furniture for the five higher grades. On motion of Mr. Clark the report was accept- ed, the recommendations concurred in, and the committee authorized to go ahead and secure the nceded improvements. Mr. Broome of the auditing committee re- ported having examined the books and found cellections to the amount of $117, and on request the chairman granted the com- mittee further time in which to complete its report. The furniture committee was also granted another week. The secretary then read a communication from Mr. 8. R. Hipsley, stating that the lamps of che association had been turned over to Mr. N. Keyser, and om motion the committee was discharged. Under the head of good of the asgocia- tion the monthly topic for discussion, “Manual Training in the Public Schools,” was taken up and very ably and forcibly discussed. Prof. Voorhees of the Benning School stated that it was the alm of these training schools to train the eye and the hand of the pupils. He said Washington was behind the other cities, but rapidly catching up and perfecting its system. He cersured the parents of Benning for not visiting the schools and cncouraging the teachers in their work. Mr. Mewshaw de- livered an elaborate adiress, and was fol- lowed by Mr. France, who opposed manual training in the pubiic schools because, be thought, it an injury to trades unions. Prof. Voorhees said he thought trades unions were a curse to the country, and that assertion nearly precipitated a small riot; but matters were smoothed over, and finally, on motion, discussion of the topic was continued until next Tuesday evening, after which the meeting adjourned. ———— Another Bates Will.

Mr. Davenport and His Wife Grateful for Many Kindnesses. Rev. W..G. Davenport and Mrs. Daven- Port will sail from New York Saturday for Glasgow, to bring home the remains of their son Dana, who, they are now satis- fied, died there Sunday, July 21. The strange disappearance of young Mr. Daven- port and the final report of his death in Scotland attracted much notice to the case and drew forth many expressions of sym- pathy for the distressed parents. Rev. and Mrs. Davenport on the eve of their de- parture on their sad errand have prepared a statement expressing “to the many fricnds who have shown their sympathy in words and acts of kindness to us, during the long weeks of our weary and anxious waiting, our heartfelt gratitude. It has Leen impossible to reply,” they say, ‘“‘to the large number of letters received from iov- ing friends, near and far, but we assure therm that their words have been comfort- ing and helpful. And their prayers have been heard. We now know what became of our lost boy. We go to Glasgow to re- move his remains, and see that they have proper burial. This will be the last loving office we can perform in this life for one who was endeared to very many by his generous nature and devout life.” This morning the rite of the sacrament of the holy communion was administered by Mr. Davenport at his church in Ana- costia in the presence of an unusually large congregation for a weekday service, all of whose sympathies and prayers Dr. and Mrs. Davenport will carry with them cn_their sad jourrey. Dr. Davenport wrote to Bishop Paret of. the P. E. diocese of Maryland, who has general supervision of all the pulpits cf the churches in the diocese while they may be vacant from any cause and ask- ed him to appoint a deacon to take his Place during his absence, and it is gen- erally believed that Bishop Paret will as- sign Rev. George Davenport, a son of the absent minister, and a promising preacher, to officiate during his father’s absence. This appointment, if made, will, it is be. leved, give entire satisfaction to the con- gregation worshiping at Emmanuel.
