NEXT CONCLAVE MEETS AT PITTSBURG Out-of-Town Excursions Taken Today. Being SOME SOCIAL OCCASIONS —_+——__ Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. BOSTON, August 29.—There has been nothing to mar the enjoyment of the Wash- ington Knights Templar. No accidents or ceses of sickness are reported among them. The reception at headquarters of Colum- bia Commandery Tuesday night was a great success from every standpoint, and last night Washington Commandery was equally fortunate ‘n the entertainment cf its friends. The parlors at its headquarters were beautifully decorated with flowers and handsome banners. The ladies of the commandery were constituted a committee to assist the officers in receiving the guests, who came in large numbers. Each one as he was presented seemed to have a kind word to say of his treatment in Washing- ton during the conclave of 1889. Refresh- ments were served by the entertainment cemmittee in the adjoining parlors, ably assisted by that Invincible pair, “Dick Green” and “Jimmy Jones.” De Molay Commendery of Washington will hold a reception this evening at Cop- ley Square Hotel. This morning Washington and Columbia Commandertes marched to the Boston and Trevere rafroad station, where they took the train for Lynn, to become the guests of Olivet Commandery. A short parade there is on the program. All were looking for a reyal time as they departed, and from the preparations by their Lynn fraters they seemed not doomed to disappointment. ‘The committee on charters of the grand encampment has agreed to report Zavorably on petition to organize Orient Commandery, No. 5, on Capitol Hil. By Associated Press. Next Conclave at Pittsburg. BOSTON, August 29.—The Grand En- campment of the Knights Templar has de- cided upon Pittsburg as the next conclave city. The Grand Encampment elected Right Eminent Sir Warren Larue Thomas of Ken- tucky gremd master to succeed Most Emi- nent Sir Hugh McCurdy; 301 votes were cast, of which the successful candidate re- cvived a The knights elected Very Eminent Sir Reuben H. Lloyd of San Francisco deputy grand commander. A dull gray sky and rain-soaked earth rather discouraged the Knights Templar when they turned out for the day. Black and white plumes and tightly-fit- ting uniform coats ere giving way rapidly to fatigue caps and business suits, and the sir knights seem to have settled down to systematic sightseeing. The session of the Grand Encampment was reopened at Masonic Temple at 10 a.m., when the election of officers was taken up. The conclave of the women’s Masonic or- ganization, the Order of the Eastern Star, was also formally opened at Union Hall. Out-of-Town Excursions. Out-of-town excursions have been as rvmerous and attractive as on yesterday. Golden Gate Commandery of San Francisco visited Brockton, where the members were entertained by Bay State Commandery. The program consisted of a parade, a visit to historic Plymouth and a banquet. Forest City of Cleveland, Ohio, and Kil- lington of Rutland, Vt. were entertained on the South Shore. There was a pagade at Quincy, luncheon at the old Adams mansion, a barge run t> Downer Landing and a clam bake at Meiville Garden. The party retrned to Bostoa by steamer. Cambridge Commandery took its guests, Washington of Atehison, Kan., on a trip to Silver Springs, R. I., for a fish dinner. The sir knights of Arkansas and Texas, with their ladies, were welcomed today at Lowell by the directors of the South- western Telegraph and Telephone Com- pany. Luncheon was served at Lake View and the party was escorted down the Merrimac valley to Lawrence, from which place the members returned to Bos- ton. Some of thé Arkansas commanderies and those from Toronto, Canada, visited Wor- cester as the guests of the Worcester County Commandery. Tonight the exodus of knights will he- gin, several commanderies leaving for heme. Large numbers will go tomorrow, but many of the delegations, especially those from western states, will disband here at the close of the conclave, as a great many of these knights intend to remain in New England for some weeks. ———_—_. Minister Dun’s Mother Dend. COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 29.—Mrs. Jas. Dun, mother of Edwin Dun, United States minister to Japan, died during the night near London, Ohio, Her husband is a pros- perous farmer, four miles from London, some of it in the richest farm lands of Ohio. The death was sudden. A cable- gram was sent to Minister Dun. Mrs. Dun was well and favorably known throughout central Ohio. She was a sister of Rear Admiral Henry Walker, who was a mid- shipman in 1827 and retired in 1871. Mrs. Dun was seventy-five years of age, and was born in Chillicothe, Ohio. She is a close relative of ex-Senator Allen G. Thur- man. oe An Augusta County Tragedy. Special Dispatch to Tne Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., August 29.—A special from Staunton, Va., says: “A young man named Stuart Andrews is being anxiously looked for by the authorities of Augusta, who are investigating very serious charges against him in connection with the death of @ pretty young girl named Bosserman near Sargersville, in the western part of Au- gusta county. It is alleged that some time ago she was morphined by Andrews and assaulted, and that later, in the attempt to conceal the results of his crime, he caused her death.” —_—.__ Charged With Aiding Perry.

Solid lines are tsobars or lines of equal air pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch. Dotted lines are fsotherms or lines of equal temperature, drawn for each ten degrevs. Shaded areas are regions where rain or snow bas fallen during preceding twelve hours. The words ‘High’ and “Low” show location of areas of bigh and low barometer. Small arrows fly with the wind. COOLER TOMORROW. The Heat Expected to Culminate in a Thunder Storm Tonight. The area of high pressure is still station- ary over the south Atlantic coast. A sec- ond high pressure area has moved from eastern Montana to northeastern Nebras- ka. A trough of low pressure extends from Missouri to Newfoundland. Rain has fall- en in this trough. The following heavy rainfalls, in inches, were reported during the past twelve hours: Amarillo, 1.46; Port Eads, 1.54. ‘The temperature has fallen in the middle Mississippi, lower Missouri and Red River of the North valleys, and in New Englana, and has remained stationary elsewhere. Forecast till 8 p.m. Friday—For Maine, New Hampshire dnd Vermont, showers; northerly winds. For Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- necticut and eastern New York, showers today and tonight, followed by fair; cooler Friday morning; northwesterly winds. For the District of Columbia, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, thunder showers are prob- able this afternoon, followed by fair; slight~ ly cooler; west to southwest winds. For North Carolina and South Carolina, generally fair; variable winds. The most interesting part of the above map is the narrow strip of rainfall ex- tending from New Mexico to Newfound- land. This strip is not much more than 200 miles wide, but nearly 3,000 miles long. It shows the extreme difficulty existing in attempting to forecast rainfall in the sum- mer season. If the wind arrows are ex- amined it will be found that they generally tend inward to this strip on either side along its whole length. It is certain that the conditions causing this remarkable rain are to be sought for in the upper air. It is generally believed that the mere mingling of two currents of air of different temperature cannot produce rain. The West India storm has now reached the west gulf and will probably lose much of its intensity when it passes off the water. Prospects are favorable for a culmina- tion of the present heat in a thunder storm tonight and cooler weather probably con- tinuing several days. If the thunder storm does not come, however, the cooler weather may be delayed till tomorrow morning. Condition of the Water.

Extension of Associated Press Lines to Mexico. MEXICO CITY, August 29.—President Diaz, on hearing from the Associated Press correspondent that the service of the As- sociated Press would from now on be re- ceived in the capital every day, said that in his opinion it’ would be a great ad- vance for the journalism in Mexico. - Here in the capital of the republic was printed the first book ever printed in the new world, and here also was published the first daily paper on this hemisphere. For three reasons Mexico is greatly in- terested in everything pertaining to the progress of journalism. Mexico has al- ways been a grand civilized nation, main- taining colleges and literature protection from various governments since the remote times. At the present time the government is publishing at her own cost many scien- tific books for distribution among public Uterary and scientific men. All honorable and conscientious journal- ists who devote themselves to matters of practical interest receive the protection of the government. Notable improvements are already apparent In the most enter- prising journals. The newspapers _ illus- trate their articles and show a spirit of advancement worthy of great praise. “I am much pleased that Mexico, by means of the new telegraphic service, will be put in intimate contact with the rest of the world. It is another sign of pros- perity and creates a new bond to connect Mexico with the other nations of the civil- ized world.” CHICAGO, August 29.—The leased wire system of the Associated Press, through the co-operation of the Western Union Telegraph Company, has been extended from San Antonio to Laredo, Texas, on the border of Mexico, where connection is made with the system of the Mexican National Railway Company. Last night for the first time in the history of Mexico the two republics were united by direct telegraphic news connections, and the full report of the Associated Press will here- after be sent to the capital of Mexico, where it will be published by the Herald, the leading paper of the republic. SS ABANDONED THE POTOMAC. Deemed Not Healthy Enough for a Bellamy Colony TOPEKA, Kan., August 29,—Mrs. Anna Diggs, the agitator, and Dr. S. McAllin, editor of the Advocate, the offal psper of the populist party in Kansas, have re- turned from Montrose county, Col., where they have been to estanlish the Montrose county co-aperative colony. It is to ve conducted on the Bellamy plan, and is be- ing promoted by the same organization that a year ago perfected arrangements for establishing a colony on the Potomac river about fifty miles below Washington. The Potomac was abandoned, Mrs, Diggs says, because of its unhealthfulness. The Colorado colony 1s to be located on gov- ernment land, which will be taken up un- der the homestead and desert land laws. Inten:ling colonists have already filed upon three thousand acres of land, and ten men have located there and begun work, mak- ing preparations for the reception of the colonists and their families. Other mem- bers of the proposed colovy will in a few days file upon five thousand acres more. Mrs. Diggs now claims a residence in Col- orado, and says that one reason why that state was selected for her colony is that women there have political’ rights, and that she is tired of battling for them else- where without results. . ————_— CAPT. BALDWIN NOT KILLED. The Story of His Denth Repeatedly Denied. WICHITA, Kan., August 29.--There ap- pears to be no foundation for the reported killing of Capt. Baldwin of Anadarko. The Eagle has messages from all parts within reach of Anadarko agency denying the story. LONDON, August 29.—Besides ex-Speaker Charles F.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., August 29.—The “sound money” democrats have opened their campaign with a speech delivered here by Mr. H. D. Lehman, general attor- ney of the Burlington raflway. The ad- dress was made under the auspices of the Sound Money Club, which is composed of very prominent democrats. Similar clubs will be organized throughout the state. The state officials, particularly those who desire renomination, are either openly up- posing the “sound money” move or are Standing aloof from it. ——= BIG DAYS FOR POLITICIANS. Both Gubernatorial Nominées' ‘and the Governor to Visit the RoékvHle Fair. The managers of the Montgoméry county agricultural fair, which is td’ Bé held at Rockville next week, are making, arrange- ments to make it the most suegessful meet- ing in the history of the association. The display of exhibits, particularly of ani- mals, will be larger and of 4, better char- acter than heretofore, and the entries in the various races assure contests of a first- class character. Next Tuesday and Thurs- day will be gala days, and ‘will’ doubtless attract a great outpouring \of Maryland republicans and democrats, ;as Candidate Lloyd Lowndes will be there Tuesday or Thursday to stir up republican hegrts,while Mr. John E. Hurst, the demoératit’ nominee for governor; Governor Fraitk Brown and Controller Marion De Kalb Stnfth; who, was nominated to succeed himself, will be prcs- ent on Thursday. The races ‘on both days will also be particularly interesting, and there will be a number of other ‘attractions, including base ball games between crack nires in the Maryland League. ——— CONVENTION OF SPIRITUALISTS. The National Asxociation Will Meet Here in October. Harrisen D. Barnett, president of the National Spiritualists’ Asscciation of the United States and Carada, has issued the call for the third annual convention of the order, to be held at Masonic Temple in this city October 15 to 17, inclusive.

The delegates will make their headquarters at the Temple Hotel, and are requested to report at the asscciation headquarters, 600 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, October 14, at 8 p.m. ——>—_ .. LEONARD AGAIN FOULS. The Police Interfere and Stop a “Friendly Rout” at Kernan’s, Again last evening the police were forced to Interfere and end an announced “friend- ly bout” at Kernan’s Theater, but which deyeloped into an angered slugging match. Johnny Connors of this city appeared be- fore Mike Leonard, and to many in the audience it seemed that he was the better man of the pair. It is claimed that Leon- ard lost his temper and fouled Connors with his elbow and then struck him, re- peating the operation while the Washing- ton man was on his knees. At one time Connors got Leonard's head under one arm and punched him with considerable energy. Leonard finally knocked Connors prostrate with a terrific blow, and then the police stopped the fight and the curtain was rung down. 5 —_-__ He Had No Lamp. Hyman Pettit, a small boy, bought a bi- cyele a few days ago ard last night he went out without a Nghted lamp. He was with a friend who Had a light, and this, he thought, was sufficient. Policeman Bar- bee thought otherwise, and so "he added the boy’s name to his list of victims. This morning the boy was tried In the Police Court and his personal bonds'were taken. John A.

William Thomas, the colored man whose house in South Washington was ralded a few days ago because Sergeant Daley had information that liquor had been sold there, was given a trial in the Police Court to- day. Judge Scott held him guilty, and im- posed a fine of $250 or sixty days on the farm. It was in connection with this raid that Sergeant Daley was charged with de- stroying private property. Mr. Pugh in- vestigated this charge and nolle prossed the case. Amendments to the Regulations Adopted by the Commissioners, IN THE INTEREST «OF HEALTH The Kind of Pipes and How They Must Be Placed. INSIDE AND OUTSIDE The Commissioners today ordered the fo!- lowing amendments to the plumbing regu- lations: Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of the in- spector of plumbing, under the direction of the Commissioners, to inspect or cause to be inspected by his assistants all houses when in the course of erection in said District, to see that the plumbing, drainage and ventilation of sewers thereof conform to these regulations. It shall be his duty at any time during reasonable hours, under like direction, on application of the owner or occupant, or the complaint under oath of any reputable citizen, to inspect or cause to be inspected any house in said District, and to examine the plumbing, drainage and ventilation of sewers thereof. < And he shall, after inspection and upon approval by his immediate superior, serve a notice on the owner, or agent, of the prem- ises, directing such changes as are neces- sary to make the plumbing conform to the Plumbing regulations, to be commenced within ten days from date of the service of the notice, and completed within a rea- sonable time thereafter, provided, that if the owner, agent or tenant shail within five days from date of suid notice protest in writing against any of the required changes, and shall deposit with the col- lector of taxes of the District of Columbia $20 to cover the cxpense of re-examination, it shall be the duty of the Engineer Com- missioner to designate three inspectors to make a re-examination, and if the Engineer Commissioner approve a decision against the exceptant the Commissioners shall cause said exceptant to be notified of the decision, and the work ordered by the inspector, to be begun within five days after service of notice, and be completed within a reasonable time. Should the owrer or agent of the prem- ises crdered to be repaired neglect or re- fuse to ccmply with the order within a reasoreble time after ten days’ notice, it shall be the duty of the inspector of plumbing to report the same to his imme- diate superior, who shall, if in his judg- ment the circumstances so require, consult with the attorney for the District, who shall draw up an information and prose- cute the offending party. Sec. 56. When an old service pipe is repaired the stopcock and box, if located in the traveled rcrtion of the footway, shall be moved so as to ccnform to those regulations. Whenever and wherever a public footway is paved or repaired, stcpcecks and boxes, fresh-air inlets and pavement washe: shall, if located otherwise than in con- formity with these regulations, be moved to the respective positions herein pre- scribed. The removal of a running trap and the clean-out thereon to a new position shail be required only in cases where, in the opinion of the assistant in charge of the division of sewers and plumbing, the ex- Fense of such removal would be justified. Outside Attachments. Sec. 59. No person shall place, or cause to be placed, any pavement washer or hose attachment for the services of a new bulld- ing in any footway or portion thereof. All such fixtures for new buildings must be connected to the service pipe inside of the front wall of the building, and may pro- ject theretrom above the surface of the ground, suitable precautions being taken against freezing. In repairing or replacing that portion of a service pipe to which the pavement washer or hose attachment is connected, or such fixture itself, if the building served is provided with a cellar or unfurnished basement, the fixture may be placed in the front wall. In case th® base- ment is occupied for living purposes, or the building has no cellar, the fixture may be placed in the area wall or in the parking, at least two feet from the sidewalk; if no parking or suitable area exists, the fixture may be placed in the sidewalk inside the line of projections and as close to the building line as practicable. Sec. 5. If the public sewer be a pipe sewer, having a diameter of twelve inches or more, and the house sewer to be con- nected be of iron, the connection may be made by the plumber, who shall carefully cut a hole of the least practicable size in the public sewer and insert a connecting thimble of cast iron of the same size as the house sewer and of such length that the hub shoulder thereof shall rest against the oucer surface of the sewer and no portion extend within it. Any connection thus made, and the house sewer to the building line shall, before be- -ing cover-d, be inspected by the inspector of plumbing or bis assistant, who shall inspect and make a record of the condition of the public sewer, and shall make a prompt return of such inspection to the permit clerk, as in case of inspection by the sewer tapper. No house sewer, either of fron or vitrified pipe, greater than six inches in diameter shall be connected to a twelve-inch public sewer, except at a manhole. = See. All soil, drain, waste and vent pipes shall be located inside of the bulld- ing. Every soil and vent pipe shall be of iron or lead, with screwed, leaded or wiped joints, and ‘shall be located as to be ac- cessible for inspection. Pipes of this kind shall be kept above the ground, if prac- ticable. When wrought iron pipes are used they shall be of galvanized iron provided with galvanized fittings. The inspector of plumbing may, with the approval of the assistant in charge of the division of sewers and plumbing, authorize the placing of small vent pipes outside of old buildings in cases where it is consider- ed inadvisable to locate the same within the building. Kind of Pipes. Sec. 98. Every water closet, urinal, sink, basin, wash tray, bath tub, set of tubs, or fixtures of any kind connected with the drainage system of a building, shall ve ceparately and effectually trapped, if lo- cated within the building, and vented, ex- cepting that in the case of the upper or only water closet on a soil pipe and having its center within two feet of. the,center ot the stack, a vent will not be required. See. 117, In all cases in which the water supply pipe is placed underground on private property it shall be of lead, hay- ing the weights per foot specified in section 49, and shall be buried to a depth below the paving at ground surface as follows: Outside of ouildings, and less than four feet from the exterior wall, not less than three feet deep. Under floors where no cellar or basement exists, not less than two feet deep. Under cellar or basement floors, not less than one foot deep. Where the service pipe is not buried it ™may be drawn lead pipe of the class known as “Strong” and of not less than the fol- lowing weights per lineal foot: Inside diameter of pipe.

Its Owner Charged With Being in Contempt — The Court’s Decision Reserved. ————— Saloonkeeper Ernest Gerstenberg’s big dcg “Bismarck” Ss still alive, notwithstand- ing the fact that his death was ordered hy Judge Scott several days ago for the rea- sen that the animal's teeth drew blood from a boy’s leg. Mr. Gerstenberg told the court when the case was tried that he wotld not kill the dog, ncr would he allow a representative of the District to execute his pet, and he evidently meant what he sald. When the other business of the court had been disposed of Mr. Pugh called Judge Scott's attention to the case of “Bismarck.” This case, Mr. Pugh said, was in .court for two reasons. When the case was in court the other day, he said, the dog was ordered killed, and ne tine was imposed. The law requires the Imposition of a fine in addition to the death of the animal. Mr. Gerstenberg, he said, is therefore in court for the purpose of having a fine imposed, and also for the purpose of being punished for contempt. He said that after the trial of the case Policeman Sutton was the member of the force who was ordered to execute the dog, but the owner of the dog reftsed to deliver up the animal when he went to the house to put into execution the court's order. Attacking the Order. Messrs. AlUtight and Sillers, for the de- fendant, argued that the court had no rignt to pass the order concerning the os’s death, and therefore their client could not be in contempt. They cited the act of Con- gress concerning fierce and dangerous dogs, and said that the law of the Commission- ers in reference to biting dogs was in di- rect conflict with this act. Counsel cited authorit‘es in support of their claim. Mr. Pugh answered counsel, and during the course of his remarks he said he thought the regulation of the Commission- ers was a wise one. individually, h2 said, he was opposed to the keeping of dogs in the city, especially auring the hot weather when there are so many dangers. Dogs, he said, are liable to become mad and hydrophobia is likely to result from some of the biting. The regulation of the Commissioners, he said, does not affect the act of Congress. The latter provides against fierce and dangerous dogs, while tne former is de- signed to punish persons for having biting dogs. Mr. Pugh said that every Jiting dog is not necessarily fierce and dangerous, nor does it follow that a fierce and dangerous dog must bite somebody. In this particular case, he said, Mr. Gerstenberg denies that his dog is fierce and dangerous, but he cannot deny that the dog is a biting animal. Both Juéges Miller and Kimball, he said, have disposed of cases under this act, and this is the first time the owner of a dog has refused to give up the animal. Mr. Pugh told the court of the circumstances under which the dog bit a boy who was going to get his newspapers. The biting oceurred in a public alley and not on the Fremises of its owner. In reply to Mr. Pugh counsel for the de- fendant argued that there was no legal judgment in the case, and the defendant therefore could not be in contempt. The judgmeat, they argued, was imperfect and consequently it is not legal. Judge Scott heard further argument, and reserved his decision until tomorrow, — EDWARD STURTEVANT DEAD. He Was Well-Known and Popular in Washington—The Funeral Tomorrow. The announcement of the death of Mr. Edward K. Sturtevant, which occurred in Brooklyn Tuesday, midnight, caused a pro- found shock to his many friends in this city, where he was so widely and favorably known. Mr. Sturtevant, who was the son of Mr. Albert L. Sturtevant of the Na- tional Safe Deposit and Trust Company, was born at Mount Pleasant twenty-five years ago. He attended the public schools and entered the High School, but left be- fore the completion of his course to accept 2 position with’ Mr. H. N. Low, the present attorney. After remaining there several years he was made the Washington repre- sentative of the New York patent attorneys firm of Richards & Co., and later was called to a responsible position in the home office, which he held at the time of his death. He was a young man of sterling character, and a particularly genial disposition, and his early death is deplored by his numerous frieids everywhere. He was at one time a popular member of battery A of the D. C. Several years ago Mr. Sturtevant married Miss Carrie Shuster of this city, who, with a small daughter, survives him. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 4 p.m. from the residence of his father, 1453 Howard avenue, Mt. Pleasant. ——— Advance tn Silverware.

From the Chicago Tribune, A small, dirty newsboy worked a paying game for a week or so down in the shop- ping districts. He would don a most pa- thetic expression, go up to a woman and say, “Missis, won't you buy a paper? Dis is my birfday, and I ain’t sold hardly any.” Of course he would sell one in nine cases out of ten, and would generally get a nickel and be told to keep the change. He must have kept this up fully a week and reaped a bountiful harvest. At last one young woman, who had tired of the same story, and who became rather skeptical on the subject of the “birfdays,” stopped the young genius and remarked in tones clear enough to be heard some little distance, “See here, little boy, what did you say about your birthday?” “Lady, please buy a paper; dis is my birfday, and I ain’t sold but one paper to- day,” whined the young rascal. ‘Now, little boy, to my certain knowl- edge, you have had a birthday every day this wesk. Aren’t you ashamed to tell such stories?” He was cornered for a minute, and stood with head cast down end every appearance of remorse. At last he looked up, with the most innocent expression, and said: “Well, you see, lady, you en me we're different. I ain't very old, en I thought I'd have a lot of birfdays to ercet, en den I could quit havin’ em’, like you. See?” She concluded he ‘was past reforming, and, slipping a dime in his hand, moved cn, sighing over the wickedness of this gen- eration, while the young sinner executed @ pas seul of his own invention. ——_—— +00 Health Regulations.
