We THE WORLD OF SOCIETY A Golden and a -Silver Wedding Ocle- brated. Mr. and Mrs. May and Mr. and Mrs. Moser Celebrate Wedding An- niversaries—Personals. Mr. and Mrs. Philip May’s golden wed- ding reception last evening at their home, 609 M street, an event unusual in itself,was surrounded by every circumstance which could possibly erbance its pleasant remem- brance.. The house was literally filled with flowers, representing the good wishes of friends. Palms and yellow roses were pro- fusely used in the decoration of the parlors and dining rcom. The supper table, with its huge wedding cake, surmounted by two golden hearts, was decked with yellow reses and lighted by yellow tapers under yellow shides. There was golden punch with which to drink the health of the cou- ple, and with it every seasonable dainty. Near a bower of palms and roses in the front parlor Mr. and Mrs. May stood to re- ceive the congratulations of their guests, surrounded by their children and grand- children. Their daughters, Mrs. John Cam- mack and Mrs. Francis Miller, and sons, Messrs. PLilip, George and Frank May,with Miss Lizzie May, Mrs. George May, Miss Emma Gehrmar. of Baltimore and Miss Eleanor May of Cleveland were in the re- ceiving party, the ladies wearing light, ef- fective toilets. Sister Bernadine May of the Georgetown Convent of the Visitation is another daughter of Mr. and Mrs. May. Ameng the gifts were fifty articles from the nuns in that convent. —- Mrs. May wore, instead of the bridal white satin, a rich black satin dress, trimmed with gold passementerie, and carried a bouquet of yellow roses. The German-American Fire Insur- ance Company sent a gold and silver bowl, Potomac Fire Insurance Company a gold ladle, as did the Farmers and Me- chanics’ Bank, in each of which Mr. May is a director. These gifts represent but a few of those received, and which make most substantial souvenirs of a delightful occasion. In the group of ten grandchil- dren, who were present, were Maurice May, son of Mr. and Mrs. George May; Edmund Cammack, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Cammack; Ida and Eddie May, chil- dren of Mr. and Mrs. Philip May; and Katie, Arthur, Adele, Leo, Helen and Ed- na May, children of Mr. and Mrs. Frank May. Mr, and Mrs. Joseph F. Moser celebrated their silver wedding last night by a large reception at Freund’s, which was attended by hundreds of their friends. Relatives were present from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, and with the telegrams and letters from absent friends the couple were yesterday in the thoughts of a host of well wishers. Mrs. Moser was gowned in black satin and duchess lace. The sil- ver presents were superb in number and quality. Rev. L. Stern mada a few appro- priate remarks and the pleasure of all was enhanced by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. M. Cohen, who were witnesses of the marriage ceremony a quarter of a century ago. Among those present were Mrs. Moser, the mother of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. J. Moser, his brother and sister: Mr. and Mrs. A. Neuhan, Mr. and Mrs. Ferd. Breslau, Mr. and Mrs. Sol. Breslau, Mr. and Mrs, Hollidge, Mr, and Mrs. Harry Kronhelmer, Mr. and Mrs, Sam Bass and Mr. Isaac Gans. Sir Julian Pauncefote will sail for New York next Saturday.

Robert Beverly Assaulted by a Crowd of Roughs. Robert Beverly, the colored janitor of the Thompson school building, was badly cut and otherwise injured in a row near the corner of 1ith and K streets last evening. A lawn fete or garden party was in progress at the Asbury A. M. E. Church. ‘Tke officers of the church called in Beverly to assist in keeping the crowd in order. Late in the evening a number of the colored men and women got into a war of words, most of which were improper or profane. Beverly tried to interfere, and called them to order. This they looked upon as an infringement of their natural rights, and they proceeded to ‘jump upon him and do him up. They took razors, clubs and stones to accom- plish this, and when they were frightened off by the sight of a policeman up the street they left him well nigh dead. Dur- ing tie assault Beverly made no outcry, o that the policeman knew nothing of it until the injured man staggered up to him and dropped almost unconscious at his feet. A telephone call quickly brought the patrol wagon from No. 2 station house. Beverly was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital, where it took three doctors to dress his wounds. There were five long razor cuts about his head and neck, several of which had to be sewed up. Later he was removed to his home, 435 Ridge street. Beverly’s assailants were about six in number, and all of them made good their escape. The police, however, at once start- ed an investigation, which will probably result in putting some, if not all, of the offenders behind the bars. IMPROVING THE POTOMAC Major Davis’ Report of the Extent of Opera- tions During August. Continued Construction of the Sea ‘Wall—The Aqueduct Bridge—Survey of the Eastern Branch Bridge. Maj. Davis has made a report to the chief of engineers of operations during the past month for improving the Potomac river. The construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was continued and good pro- gress made, 750 linear feet of wall being completed during the month. On the north- east margin of the reservoir the wall is now ‘complete from the reservoir outlet to the bathing beach, a dists1ce of 2,044 fest. ‘The construction of the training dyke on the west side of the Virginia channel was continued until August 10, when the work under the contract of E. G. Gummel was completed. The dike has been extended 1,000 feet. During the month the wreck of an old sand scow, 50 feet long and 12 feet wide, which had sunk just above the reser- voir outlet, was raised and deposited be- hind the training dike. The Aqueduct Bridge. In regard to the Aqueduct bridge, Maj. Davis says that the repairs to pier No. 4 were completed early in August, when pumping was stopped and the cofferdam was allowed to fill with leakage. This re- quired about twenty-four hours, and at its cenclusion a hole was cut in the sheet piling to allow the tide to ebb and flow in the dam. The temporary truss was then tightened up and both structures were left intact for future operations. The con- tractor’s plant was removed from the cof- ferdam. The west side of the bridge over the spans resting on pier No. 4 was thrown open for travel on the 4th ultimo. The appropriation for the repairs of the bridge was 070. The total expenditure was $45, , leaving a balance on hand of $4,690. The Eastern Branch Bridge. With respect to the operations for the survey for the bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac river, Major Davis says the field work of the survey was con- tinued during August, and favorable pro- gress was made. The hydrography of the channel and adjacent flats was completed. ‘The shore line and topography on the north bank of the river are also completed, and similar work on the south shore is’ well advanced. Piles for driving as test pipes have been obtained, and some work on the borings has been done. These operations are conducted under an appropriation of $3,500 in the District of Columbia appro- priation act, approved March 2 last, “for a survey, plan and estimate of cost .of a bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac river at or below the foot of South Capitol street.” It is expected that the survey will be completed and borings commenced during the present month. The Wrecked Lady of the Lake. Major Davis says that bids have been in- vited for the removal of the wreck of the steamer Lady of the Lake, which was de- stroyed by fire February 15 last, while lying off her wharf, at the foot of N street south. The wreck lies in about twenty feet of water, and projects about forty feet into the limits of the dredged channel. The United “States district attorney re- perted that he had.no power to compel the owner to remove the wreck. Consequently that work will be done under the super- vision of the engineer department of the army. 3 2. WOODBURN CITIZENS. After Transacting Business They En- joy Themselves. Owing to the successful turn in school house matters and to the general good which has been done, the Woodburn Citi- zens’ -Association’ wound up its meeting Tuesday evening with general jollification and a watermelon feast. Dr. A. Walker presided at the meeting, which was largely attended, and after the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, Mr. John Kelly of the road committee said he had been unable to see the Commissioners and have the Blair road put in repair, but by the next meeting he promised to have'a*more-favorable report. Mr. Langley, chairman of the school site committee, reported that everything was finally settled, and that the desired site had been purchased and: was now in possession of the District. He also stated that he had spent $38 for certificate of title and for other expenses in straightening the matter out, and, on motion of Mr. McEntyre, the report was accepted and the committee dis- charged, with thanks of the association. It was also ordered that Mr. Langley be paid $26 on account, the balance to be paid as secon as the funds were on hand. Mr. John Meiklejohn of the letter box committee reported having seen Miss E. V. Wiltberger, who informed him that the letter box and lock were on hand, and that the same would be put up at Woodburn today. On motion of L. B. McEntyre, Mr. Henry Stellow was then admitted to membership in the association. Attention was called to the necessity of having lamps at Stott’s station on the Met- repolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and on motion the secretary was instructed to write to the proper official of the road, requesting that the same be erected. There being no further business, the meet- ing adjourned to participate in a water- melon feast that had been provided by a very enthusiastic member of the associa- tion. ——__. ONLY JAIL CASES. What the Present Grand Jury Will Be Able to Consider. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter today.that the present grand jury would only consider what are known as jail cases. That is, cases in which the ac- cused parties are in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury. There are some seventy of these cases, and as the term of the present grand jury expires the last of this month, those cases will be about ali which the existing jury will be able to consider, and it is hardly probable that it will have time to consider all of them. The next grand jury will organize on the first of next month, and after it has dis- posed of the jail cases, which are given the preference, it will take up for consideration those cases in which the defendants were released on bail to await its action. The most important of these cases is that of Miss Elizabeth M. Flagler, who, on the 2d of last month,shot and killed Ernest Green, a little colored boy. Miss Flagler, several days after the shooting, gave bail in the sum of $10,000 to await the action of the grand jury. Mr. Birney stated today that he would present this case before the next grand jury at the earliest opportunity. He thought that would be some time early next month. Whether an indictment would be returned against Miss Flagler Mr. Bi: ney could not, of course, say at the pres- ent time. His duty would be performed in laying the case before the grand jury, when further action in the matter would depend upon the course taken by the jury. ——.__ Transfers of Real Estate.

A Large Portion Now What Yet Remai Be Done. Completed= to Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, has received a report from Col. Elliot of opera- tions for the improvement of the Dalecar- lia receiving ‘reservcir during the month of August. It shows the completion of the excavating and grading at the head of the reservoir, the’ €arthwork at the Mill creek and Little Falls branch-dams, the stone work at the latter dam, the masonry work at the outlet of the channel leading from East creek into. Mill creek behind its dam, the topping out of the banks of the chan- nel, the work on the two wagon bridges near the west portal of the tunnel under Brooke's hill and the roads leading to these bridges. Two lattice foot bridges were con- structed over the channels at the ends of the Mill creek dam and one on the route from the north connection to the shaft in the valley of Little Falls branch. The walls of the concrete flume conducting the water from waste weir No. 2 of the Washington aqueduct over the lower portion of the main drainage tunnel were raised one foot, including their copings of vitrified brick. Wagon Rond Constructed. A wagon road was constructed from the eastern end of the tunnel under Brooke's Dill to Mill creek dam, and that dam can now be reached from the Conduit road by wagon or carriage. There was constructed 800 feet of board fence on the Conduit road over Dalecarlia hill in front of the lard recently purchased for the improve- ment of the reservoir, and 200 feet of wire fence was constructed on the boundary of. the reservoir lands. Colonel Eilliot says that during the month the drainage of a short piece of Little Falls road, just above the Girls’ Reform School, was changed, at his request, by the District Commissioners, and that drainage is now conducted away from the reservoir, It was, ke says, the only drainage likely to pollute the reservoir that could not be provided for by the improvement works. Work Yet to Be Done. Col. Elliot’says that the only work re- maining to be done on this improvement is the resowing with grass seed of that por- tion of the chennel banks and the dams that failed in the dry weather of the past summer and the compietion of the fencing of the reservoir lands. Arrangements have been made to keep the works in good order and repair, and especially to keep the channels and the shafi free of drift wood and every other obstruction to the free flow of water into and through the main drainage tunnel under Dalecarlia hill in case of storms and heavy showers.
