SCENES OF THE OPENING DAY A Large Attendance and a Long List of Exhibitors. OUTDOOR PASTIMES “You can’t hit me, boss.” Biff! “Wow.” The darkey’s head had been hit for the first time, the first man had won three good cigars, and the Montgomery county falr at. Rockville was formally open. Yesterday was the first of the four great- est days in the year to the citizen of the District's neighboring county. It was the first day of the county fair, and such a gathering of young men, pretty girls, fast horses, find cattle, dropsical pigs, barking dogs, crowing chickens, mammoth beets and peiltical aspirants poured into town as were calculated to turn the head of even staid, respectable, shady Rockville. From an early hour in the morning the officers of the Agricultural Society were in a state of rush and excitement receiving and as- signing the exhibits, and later in receiv- ing the visitors, who soon began to pour in a pretty steady stream through the gates and to take up positions along the slope of the natural amphitheater, or to wander through the stables or exhibition halls. The officers were well adapted for the task before them, however, and per- formed their duties manfully. Wm. Dorsey is the president of the association, Frank C. Hutton is vice president, John E. Mun- caster is secretary, and John J. Higgins, treasurer. Secretary Muncaster is a calm, business-like sort of a young man. Just A Popuiur Pastime. back of his Office is the exhibit of dogs and chickens, and the two lots are fine ones from many points of view. The high C which one dog strikes in his howl is re- markable, while some half-a-dozen roosters have as yet failed to satisfy themselves as to which can crow the loudest and the oftenest. In front of the window in Sec- retary Muncaster’s office there was all day yesterday an energetic congregation of ex- hibitors pushing and striving to get his official ear. Through it all the secretary received entries, answered questions and was calm, and he needs no further certifi- cate as to the strength of his nerves. Some Notable Exhibits. Close around the entrance to the grounds was the usual collection of booths, where you could hit the colored “gei'man’s” head, get a knife or see the “African won- der." Further back were th2 before men- tioned chickens ani fowls and dogs. Of the former there was a bewildering display of fine specimens of chickens, ducks, geese ard pigeons. S. E. Kefatver exhibited some eighty vurieties in the different classes. Degs were also plentiful and of high de- gree. Among them Mr. Frenk Keys had some hounds, collies and fox terriers, while a@ fine greyhound was the property of Mr. John Kelchner. Down in the stables and pens there was almost everything, in a quiet way, that goes on four legs. There were hogs fat enough to burst and oxen strong enough to haul a church, and a big church at that. Of horses the exhibit was said to be the best for yeirs. Among the larger exhibitors in this line were Fenton Bradford, J. C. Dorsey, P. C. Gott, C. C, Waters and J. E. Williams. In the way of cattle the exbibits were plentiful. John E. Wilson and W. N. Wagner were well rep- resented Samuel Blunt showed Jersey and Swiss cattle, S. 11. Otis had a herd of regis- tered Holsteins, Wm. E. Muncaster had some fine Jersey cattle and Berkshire hogs, President Dersey was well represented by some fine catt! Davy Cashell had some oxer, while F. C. Hutton, F. M. Fraley, Al- bert Field and J. H. Gassaway all had some fine specimens in the pens. Z. N. Cooke showed twenty head of sheep, while H. P. Witter and Chas. Veirs were large exhibit- ors of hogs. In all, there were about 500 exhibitors. Down in the exhibition hall is the Maryland Agricultural College exhibit of photographs and specimens, and a most bewildering assortment of pies, bread, doughnuts, peaches, watermelons, squash, ccunterpanes, potatoes, caramels, onions, fruit, eake and big bects. Out of Door Sports. Yesterday was a day for out of doors, however, and the big summer squash did not receive as much attention a8 the one race, or the collection of red apples as the collection of base ball players. An impor- tant feature of the fair are the marshals, who ride around on horses and wear pretty silk sashes draped around them. They do a good deal besides looking pretty, however. They see that things are kept going, that there is no disorder and that small boys do not punch sharp sticks into the fat pigs. Several of them hover around the base ball game to protect the umpire, if necessary, and others Have been known to dismount to instruct some ignorant but pretty girl in, the intricacies of trotting races. In sort, the marshals are clever young fel- lows, who do everything and do it well. This year the chief marshal is Leonard Weer, jr., the lieutenant marshal, J. J. Hutton, and the assistants, H. K. Man- nakee, J. W. Jones, jr., H. H. Miller, T. B. Stabler, C. M. Mackall, R. L. Mackall, jr., A. H. Aisquith, jr., Joseph R. Cassin and W. P. Jones. Yesterday there was no need for any protection for the umpire in the base ball game, which took place in the irfield in the afternoon. The umpire was Cush Braddock, and he dces not generally need any looking after, and, besides, the Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE LAWL POUCH TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAKING. NO HEART PALPITATING.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING EXPRESS His Death Was Instantaneous, Say the Physicians. THE CORONER CRITICISED —— Residents of Langdon and Avalon Heights were higkly incensed last night at the action of the authorities in the case of Mr. Gecrge McIntyre, an aged resident of the latter place, who was struck and almost in- stantly killed by a Royal Blue line train about 4:45 o’clock in the afternoon. Al- though the killing occurred so early in the afternoon, and so far from the city, it was nearly 7 o'clock before the body was re- mcved from the railroad platform, and then it was brought to the city and taken to J. W. Lee’s undertaking establishment on Pennsylvania avenue. Mr. Mcintyre lived some distance from the railroad track, not far from the Bladensburg road, and he had been to the store and pur- chased five pounds of sugar, and was re- turning home when the fatal accident oc- curred. When he reached the platform at the station he looked down the track to- werd the city, which was clear of trains, and then he stepped from the platform he- fore looking the other way. But as he got his fcot on the track he heard the incom- ing train moving along, end made an effort to get cut of its way. But the train was gcing at the rate of a mile a minute, and persons standing at the station say that when the unfortunate man made the dis- ccvery tke train was not more than twen- ty feet from him. He turned to step back te the platform, but the fast-moving train struck him in the right chest, and threw kim in the air a short distance. - He fell against Mr. J. W. Swainson, who Was standing on the platform at ihe time, and some of the sugar went down his back It was evident that the unfortunate man’s death was instantaneous, and the affair proved a terrible shock to the ladies and otrers on the platform, and those who wit- nesesed the affair were anxious to have the bcdy removed to the home of deceased. But a policeman arrived later on, and he said that the coroner would have to give directions for the removal of the body. In the mearwhile the Royal Blue train had been stopped and backed, and the trainmen were willing to do everything they could, but they were powerless in the matter, and co the body was left there on the platform. Coroner Hammett was tele- phoned for, but as ke could not go out in the county and determine what to do in the case, he directed that the body be brougnt to the city. Undertaker Lee's wagon and the patrol wagon reached the scene at the same time, but the body was not removed until the citizens had loudly denounced the action of Coroner Hammett. Much Indignation, For a short time the citizens appeared so indignant that the undertaker’s assistants feared there would be trouble, and it was not until the police threatened to remove the body in the patrol wagon that the citi- zen3 consented to let the undertaker’s men act in the matter. It was nearly 8 o'clock when the body reached the undertaker’s rooms, and then it was evident that this was probably the best thing that could have been done on account of the manner in which the body had been injured. There had been no ex- ternal hemorrhage to amount to anything, but when the work of preparing the body for burial was commenced blood gushed from the cut in the chest and gave the men some little trouble. Coroner Hammett explained that the trouble about the body was the result of a misunderstood telephone message. The Engincer'’s Statement. At noon the coroner's jury assembled at Lee’s undertaking rooms and heard evi- dence as to the depiorable accident. The first witness examined was John Middleton Hanson, engineer of the train that did the killing. He testified that he was approaching Langdon station yester- day when he saw the man step on the track. Witness thought he was thirty yards from the man when he saw him step from the platform. He stopped the train as soon as possible and went back, but as he could regder no assistance he left the body there. “Did you ring the bell?” asked him. “The fireman did.” “Do you always ring the bell at this station?” “Yes, sir.” Witness said that he saw a man run across the track frum the other side just before the train reached the station. “He did not know whether there was a regular road crossing at the station or not. the coroner “Are there any gates there?” he was asked. “No, sir.” “How fast was your “Sixty miles an hour, Witness produced the dead man’s watch, which he said he found on the pilot of the engine, and turned it over to the coroner. Died Almost Inctantly. Walter Berry, a young man who lives at Winthrop Heights, a short distance from Langdon, was standing at the station dcor yesterday when the accident happen- ed. He had carried the mail to Langdon. “Did you hear the bell?” “No, sir.” ‘Was the train going fast?” “Yes, sir.” Witness heard the express train coming and heard the engineer blow in answer to the target. He took hold of Mr, McIntyre and pointed up the track tov d ihe train, and then started in. Witness thought that Mr. McIntyre understood him, but when he turned he saw the train strike him. “Did you see him step on the track?” ‘No, sir; when I turned the train was upon him. Witness thought that Mr. Mcintyre’s death was almost instantaneous, for he only gave one groan. There is only a foot path across the track at the station, and there are no gates there. Death Accidental. Witness said that Mr. McIntyre was very deaf and he thought he could not have heard the ringing of the bell. The train was so near upon him that he could not have stepped from the track quick enough to save himself. J. W. Swainson also gave evidence. He said that Mr. McIntyre stepped on the track after looking toward the city. When he looked the other way it was too late, and he could not get off the track in time. He said that Mr. Mcintyre’s feet had cleared the track, and if he had thrown his body six inches farther he would have saved himself. Further testimony was given in the same line, and the jury, after consulting, rendered a verdict of acciden- tal death, and exonerated the employes of the road. train -going?” ———— Brutality Charged. Christopher Terrell, a colored boy, who will have to live about six years longer in order to attain his majority, was a badly frightened youth yesterday, when Police- man William Vermillion pursued him. The boy, it is charged, had used a beanshooter or had thrown stones, and the officer pur- sued him in order to place him under ar- rest. Both the boy and the officer were crossing a lot near 6th and K streets north- east, when the report of a pistol shot was heard, and then the boy was captured. This morning ke was taken to the Police Court, where he was charged with throw- Ing missiles, and Lawyer Langston ap- peared for him. A contfhuance was granted, and the boy was released on his personal bonds. Col. Perry Carson, who witnessed the ar- rest, called at police headquarters today to make complaint against Policeman Vermil- lon. He said to a Star reporter that the officer shot at the boy and then struck him several times. The officer denies this statement. He claims that the revolver fell from his pocket and was discharged, and says he did not strike the boy. It is probable that the facts will be told at the hearing tomorrow. AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT Health of the Navy Yard Affected by the Sixth Street Sewer. Chief Clerk Micou Writes a Letter to the District Commissioners on the Subject. Mr. Benjamin Micou, chief clerk of the Navy Department, has written a letter to the District Comraissioners, in which he says that the health of the navy yard in this city Is seriously affected because of the condition of the 6th street sewer. “The summer winds,” he says, “blow directly across the exposed sewage matter, and out of eighty marines and twenty-nine sea- men on duty in the yard there have been in the last two weeks thirty-four men un- der treatment for malarial fever, and fif- teen have had to be sent to the hospital. The conditio: of the yard from this sewer is so bad that the departmeat hesitates to send ships there, and it requests that steps be taken at once to place this sewer in such condition as to relieve the unhealthy condit‘on occasioned by it.” Commander Leutze’s Letter. This action of the Navy Department was based on a letter written by Lieut. Com- mander E. H. C. Leutze, acting com- mandant at the navy yard, to Commodore Matthews, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, Navy Department. Commander Leutze calls attent!‘on to the unhealthy condition of the yard, which, he says, in his opinion, and that of the surgeon of the yard, “is due to the long delay in building the extension of the 6th sireet sewer.” «The work on the sewer was commenced about the Ist of May last by opening that part which was to be rebuilt. Piles were then driven at irregular periods of time, by which the flow in that part of ‘the sewer was greatly stopped and a cesspool creat- ed, which was not even cleaned by the rise and fall of -he tide. About July 1, when, the capping of the piles and bricks was commenced, the flow of the sewer was di- verted into an open ditch, with little fall, which soon became offensive to the res!- dents of the yard. Cause of Sickness. “As the prevailing summer winds blow directly across all this exposed sewage matter,” says Mr. Leutze, “I am of the opinion that it is the cause of the present sickness. We have eighty mariners and twenty-nine seamen on duty in this yard. In the last two weeks thirty-four have been treated for malarial fever, and fifteen had to be sent to the hospital. The work on this sewer has been carried on spasmodi- cally, and no effort has been made to ex- pedite it. We had to stop driving piles for the new yard wall May 23, and only re- sumed it yesterday (August 27). I would request that some steps be taken to hurry the construction of this sewer.” . Commodore Matthews referred the re- Port to the Secretary of the Navy, with a recommendation that it be submitted to the District Commissioners, “with a request that more vigorous measures be taken toward the presefvation of health.” The Yard’s Sanitary Condition. In May last the Secretary of the Navy appointed a medical board consisting of Medical Director Gihon and Surgeons Wise and Magruder to examine the sanitary condition of the Washington navy yard. From their report, a synopsis of which ap- peared in The Star at the time, it appeared that the condition of the sewer just out- side of the eastern and western boundaries of the yard “imperiled seriously the health of the yard.” In forwarding the report to the Secretary of the Navy Surgeon Gen- eral Tryon indorsed it as follows: “As the menace to health will be increased the heat of the summer months, it is the cpinion of the bureau that the authorities should be strongly urged to complete the work on the 6th street sewer without de- ley, and at the same time to repair the th. street sewer and extend it to deep water. In this way the sewage would no longer spread upon the low water front of the yard or emptied upon dense vegeta- tion, where it cannot be dislodged by the feeble tide.” No Answer Received. Chief Clerk Micou’s. letter to the District Commissioners was written August 30, and so far has remained unanswered. It is belleved that prompt action will be taken in the matter, as the unhealthy state of affairs reported by the naval authorities affects not only the navy yard, but the en- = southeastern section of the city as well. = —_—_—__—-e—____ The Family Destroyed. Probably the most severe storm in many years in St. Mary’s county passed over that part of Maryland a week ago, and did con- siderable damage. Near St. Clement's bay, not far from Leonardtown, the storm wrecked a family named Dorsey. The family consisted of father, mother, son and daugh- ter. Lightning struck and instantly killed the son, and the news of his death proved so severe a shock to the mother that she cied. The daughter became a _ raving maniac, and now the father walks the yard day and night, calling upon God to know why his family had been so utterly de- stroyed. ——__. An Assault Charged. Richard J. Reece, a man who gave bis age as fifty-six years and his occupation as that of a clerk, forfeited $50 collateral in the Police Court this morning rather than face a trial cn a charge of assault on Salina Carter, a colored girl, twelve years old. Policeman Barrett made the arrest, and the little girl said she went tn an out- house with the man because he called her in there and she was frightened. It was not charged that he committed any violence, but only a technical assault was charged. = ——.___. Wanted as Witnesses. Sergeant Perry and Detectives Weedon and Gallaher have gone to Frederick to ap- pear as witnesses against William Cecil Grimes, the young man who is charged with having passed a number of bogus checks.

Yesterday a man about sixty years of age entered the cafe ef the Raymond, on Capitol Hill, and called for a lunch. After making a hearty fmeal, he motioned a waiter, and, pointing to a hat and um- brella in the rack near by, told him to hand him his hat and umbrella, explaining that he was crippled and had to carry an umM- brella to walk with. The waiter handed him the hat and umbrella, and, the man having patd for his lunch, walked out of the lunch room. Very soon afterward Mr. Williams, a regular patron of the cafe, prepared to leave, and his hat and um- brella were gone. He started in hot pur- suit of the old man, and succeeded in find- ing him about the middle of the afternoon on Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Th old man had on the hat, and had sold thy umbrella for Mquor, and was drunk. Mr. Williams refused to have the man arrested and told him to keep the hat. He did not recover his umbrella. ———— Japan Goes to Glasgow for Ships.
