After The Star report of the inquest over the remains of Timothy Dempsey, who was shot and fatally wounded by Police- man Willlam Vermillion in a fight early Sunday morning at Ist and L streets north- east, closed yesterday afternoon, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was due to the accidental discharge of a revolver in the hand of Policeman Vermil- lion, and that the shot was fired while the policeman was in the discharge of his duty. It was also the belfef of the jury that Vermillion did not intend to fire the shot. Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, Policemen Thos. B, Gordon and Clarence L. Dalrymple and William C. Zeigler gave testimony ,corrob- orative of Vermillion’s version of thy shooting, and then Maurice Davis, Richa Hurley and John Early, the companions of Dempsey, related their side of the story. The statements made by the three men for the most part were diametrically up- Posed to those of the other witnesses, and, as the verdict showed, did not have much weight with the jury. —_—.— Funeral of Mrs. Emack. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Margaret G. Emack was held Saturday afternoon from St. John’s Episcopal Church, Beltsville,Md. The four sons of the deceased, John D. and Dr. . Frank D. Emack of Philadelphia, and Chas. G. and Edward G. Emack of this city, to- gether with Henry Emack, a grandson, and Dr.M.D. Humes of Beltsville, were the pall- bearers. ———.—__. Two Brothers Have Died. Two members of the Hollidge family, long-time residents of the vicinity of Brightwood, recently died within thirty hours of each other. Sunday morning Jo- seph H. Hollidge, who has been in poor health for more than a year, passed away, and his funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon from Emery Chapel, Brightwood. His brother, Willlam H. Hollidge, who lives a few miles further out the Brookville turnpike, died yesterday, after a short ill- ness. Both men leave families surviving them. Mr. Joseph H. Hollidge was the old- est brother in his immediate family and William H. was the youngest. oe A Life Saved. _ Yesterday a boy who had attracted OM- cer Brown's attention by loitering a long time at tha bathing beach told a very pathetic story of not having a relative or friend In the world. He wanted to take a swim, and Was fitted with a bathing suit for nothing. About fifteen minutes later Officer Brown suddgaly broke off in the middle of a sentence in his conversation with Superintendent Stevens, dashed out of the office, down the hill, along the wharf and dived like an arrow from the extreme end of the wharf. He brought up a boy, who strangled, coughed and spouted for breath as Brown brought him to the wharf. It was the forlorn orphan, and came near to being the end of an unknown Tace. Brown's watch, paper money and @ther vaiuables had to be carefully dried, @nd his uniform pants will require press- fmg to pass tho next inspection. But a life, howev: humble, was saved. —_—_——___ Woman’s Suffrage Meetings.

THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1895—TWELVE PAGES, AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Some Interesting Happenings in the Sec- tion Beyond Book Oreck. A Successful “Hard Times Social”— Putting in a Railway Switch— Other Items. The “hard times social” held last evening under the direction of the ladies of the Lutheran Church here was a novelty and @ success. The crowd was large and the enjoyment of all apparent. It was held in the unoccupied cottage opposite the post Office, between the hours of 7 and 11. Some of the ladies who assisted materially were: Mrs. H. G. Wagner and Miss Memmert, on whom the burden of the details fell; Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs. Rohrer, Miss Richardson and Miss Wenner. The “curio room” was a place of more than ordinary interest, and did much to swell the treasurer's coffers. In it every- day expressions were illustrated by every- day ‘substantialities. The event exceeded tHe success predicted, and the depleted Lutheran treasury now has a very whole- some appearance. Every effort that has been made to build up the Lutheran Church since the advent of the new pastor has been crowned with success. New life has been infused into the congregation, and the church is entering upon an era of hitherto unknown pros- perity. Complaint of Market Refuse. Property holders and residents in and about Market space here complain that all the refuse stuff of the Saturday countrymen is allowed to lle over all_day Sunday in the street and frequently until the middle of the following week. Last Saturday's vegetable refuse up to 9 o'clock this morn- ing had not been removed. Connecting Their Tracks. The Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad people are connecting their tracks by means of a switch with those .of the Elevator, Barge and Dock Company, on Water street, at the foot of 32d. The object in view is the transportation of stone, gravel, etc., from the river barges along the barge and dock company’s route to Tenleytown,where it will be used extensively in the fitting up of the Fort Reno reservoir, now under en- largement. The tracks of the Tenleytown company have extended to Water street since the corporation’s birth, but owing to the severity of the grade from the canal to the foot of the street, the terminus practi- cally has been in front of the old station house, * A Promising Georgetown Horse. Clayton, the Norfolk turfman who pur- ehased Prince Purdy, the little George- town horse, some months ago, reports here that the animal has so developed his speed as to be able to make a mile in 2.08. His future is sald to be assured. It is authori- tatively said that New York race men have offered $20,000 for the Prince. He was sold by his Georgetown owners, Messrs. Veale and Casilear, for $1,500. This year the Prince has earned the Norfolk man over $15,000. Next year he will strive for the world’s record. Will Attend the Funeral. Potomac Royal Arch Chapter, No. 8 F. A. A. M., of Georgetown, will attend the funeral of Mr. John A. Milburn, tomorrow, in a body. The Masonic service will be con- ducted by Harmony Lodge, at the request of Alexandria-Washington Lodge, which body deceased originally joined. Kicked by a Mule. John T. Lewis, a colored workman on the Great Falls railroad construction, was kick- ed on the elhow by a mule. He was con- veyed to the Emergency Hospital for treat- ment. ———__ NOT PROMISED NIN) HOURS. Mr. Phillips Says He May Grant a Ten- Hour Schedule. “I am sick and tired of denying mis- statements about the Metropolitan Rail- road Company,” said President Phillips of that line to a Star reporter. Mr. Phillips’ remark was called forth by @ published statement that he had promised to give the men a nine-hour schedule after November 15, which caused him to make the remark above quoted. “I did," he con- tinued, “tell the committee that as soon as the finances of the company would admit it I would reduce the working time to ten hours.”” By authority of Mr. Phillips, Mr. Cole- man, his private secretary, made the fol- lowing statement: “There has not been a time since the 9th street electric line was opened that the contractors have operated it; the company having done so from the first hour. Nor has there ever been a twelve or thirteen-hour schedule, and, as heretofore stated in The Star, the running time is now eleven hours and eighteen min- utes, the extra minutes being allowed for various emergencies incidental to the men themselves. They are also allowed abund- ance of time to eat, and the company has rented a toilet room for their use.” ——— GRACELAND CEMETERY. The Officials File Their Answer in the Injunction Suit. Answering the bill in equity filed against trem last month, in which the offictals of Graceland cemetery were asked to be en- jcined from removing bodies from the grounds, from selling it and from removing the trees, flowers and monuments, the Cemetery Association denies that a fee sim- ple interest to the lots is vested in the com- plainants,and while it is admitted that some 400 bodies have been removed from the cemetery, it is asserted that they were re- mcved with the knowledge of the com- plainants,and in accordance with the act of Congress closing up the cemetery. It is also said that only a small percentage of those interzsted in Graceland cemetery are corrected with Woodlawn cemetery, to which most of the bodies have been re- moved. There has been no intention to cut the cemetery up into lots, it is claimed, and what has been done, it is asserted, has been done only in accordance with the provisions of the act of Congress. It is further claim- ed that the complainants were notified that Dedies might be removed to other than Weodlawn cemetery, and that claims for such removals could be presented to Grace- lard cemetery, where the expenses were not more than above the average. —— LIQUOR LICENSES. A Circular Letter Sent to Dealers by the Excise Board. The excise board today sent a copy of the following letter to all licensed Hquor deal- ers: Your attention Is invited to the fol- lowing section of the excise law: Section 17. That all applicants who have had a license during the preceding year shall apply for a renewal of such license on or before November 1 of each license ar, and shall be permitted to continue business antil license shall be granted or refused by the excise board;but in all cases of refusal to grant Heense such proportion of the license fee as may have become due shall be deducted and retained from the sum deposited therefor as the time from the firsi y of November to the date of such refusal bears to the entire license year, and no other person shall be permit- ted to conduct s: business until a license ig issued therefor. I am directed to notify you that your application for a renewal of liquor license, with the deposit provided for in the act, must be made with the collector of the District of Columbia on cr before 3 o'clock p.m., November 1, 1895. The failure on your part to comply with the law will ne- cessitate a new application, the securing of signatures and the closing of your place, in the case of a bar room, until action can be taken by the board, and if renewal of application be for a wholesale liquor l- cense no Hquors can be sold until a new ap- plication is filed and acted on. ———— Exhibition of Fine Furniture, Carpets, China, ete.

AMUSEMENTS. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Notwith- standing the oppressive heat of last even- ing @ large audience assembled at Allen’s Grand Opera House to witness the first presentation in this city of the comedy, “The Bachelor’s Baby,” by the Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew Company, assisted by Mr. McKee Rankin. The comedy as a whole can be classed as a success, the bright lines furnishing numerous oppor- tunities for comedy work of the highest order, while the more scmber work was well taken care of and acted as a reliev- ing foil when an over abundance of com- edy seemed possible. The story of the play, in synopsis, hinges on the trip of a young lady from the east- ern to the western coast, who, instead of going west by ship takes the overland route and arrives ahead of time. This young lady is affectionately christened the baby by her elderly friends in the east, and through this misunderstanding the comedy part of the play {s brought out. A tele- gram is sent to the colonel at the fort an- nouncing the shipment of the baby and this telegram inadvertently goes to his nephew. A slight slip up in the moral code, on the part of the colonel, adds a spice of dra- matic realism to the comedy, but all ends well in the last foe and the curtain goes oe on the most humorous picture of the lay. ‘The ladies of the company do the most praiseworthy work, although every mem- ber worked conscientiously toward a suc- cessful presentation. Mrs. Sidney Drew, ever pleasing, acted the part of a breezy western girl, in a manner that recalls the brightest days of her talented mother, Kit- ty Blanchard. Pleasing to look upon, and with a voice mellowed to the true comedy ring, Mrs. Drew’s whole souled abandon- ment to the characterization was a revela- tion even to those apparently familiar with her high abilities. Miss Nance O'Neil, as Geraldine, acted with much force and vivacity, as the lines required, and secured high commendation for natural and artis- tie work. Miss Annie Leonard, as Mrs. Personby, the wicked character of the play, carried herself with a naturalness that was as refreshing as lifelike. The acting of Annie Lee Rogers, Blanche Johnson and May McCabe was all that could be desired.- For the male portion of the cest Sidney Drew and McKee Rankin easily led, although all played their parts to the full capacity of the lines of the play. Miss Fletcher, the’ author of the play, was called before the curtain with Mr. Rankin and Mr. Drew and handsome flowers were passed over the footlights to the happy lit- tle woman. The scenery was all that could be desired, the setting of the officers’ quarters in the second act being unusually realistic and accurate. With the return of seasonable weather large business will no doubt rule throughout the week. = National Theater.The coming of Mr. Daniel Frohman’s Lyceum Company is al- ways an event of interest, for it brings to Washington ladies and gentlemen who are the cream of the dramatic profession and whose work upon the stage is so easy and natural, so graceful and agreeable that one almost ‘forgets that they are acting. Last night Henry Arthur Jones’ play, “The Case of Rebellious Susan,” was seen for the first time in this city, and the large and critical audience that braved the heat and assem- bled et the National Theater manifested its approval by-the most liberal applause. ‘The unusual and awkward title of the play is hardly any preparation for the theme that Mr. Jones has taken, which is the idea that a woman can get even with her husband without reaching the compromising point. Miss Isabelle Irving as Lady Susan gave a splendid interpretation of the impulsive, high-strung and high-bred woman, restive under conventional restrictions, but at heart warm, true and loving. Miss Bessie Tyree gave an original and forceful type of the new woman, and compelled prompt recog- nition by the audience of her undoubted talent. Miss Tyree is a Washington girl, who has won her present position by pure merit and hard, honest work. She has a brillian future before her. Hervert Kelcey as the mutual friend of all parties, an easy, good-hearted bachelor, was remarkably ef- fective, and Mr. W. J. Le Moyne gave one of those delightful high-comedy characteriza- tions as the admiral that-only he can por- tray. Miss Annie Irish makes the most out of the role allotted to her, and so do Mrs. Charles Walcott, Walter Hale, Charles Wal- cott and Ernest Tarleton. Fritz Williams does a wonderfully clever plece of work. Academy of Music.—A large audience at the Academy of Music last evening enjoyed what was undoubtedly the most interesting melodrama presented here this season, the new electrical play of “Shaft No. 2.” It is claimed for this piece that the electrical ef- fectd are the most wonderful ever presented cn any stage, and the production last even- ing went far to sustain such a claim,despite the fact that it was the first presentation of the play. As may be inferred from its title, the play Is one in which mines and miring occupy a most prominent part. The lero and heroine are saved from death in the mine by electricity, the destruction of the villain is effected by a bolt of lightning, wonderfully represented by electrical ap- pliances, and the hero, after being convict- ed of the murder of the villain, is saved from death by electrocution. The company 1s a competent one, and Frank Losee, as Jim Rathburn, the hero, does some good work; Carrie Elberts, as the heroine, mak- ing an effective support. Marion Elmore, 28a very voluble Irishwoman,made a hit. W. H. Murphy, as the tool of the villain, sang ard danced himself into high favor. The play will be repeated at every performance. The Bijou Theater.—The large audience at the Bijou Theater last night was fully war- ranted, for the performance was good in every particular. The play was the “Strug- gle for Life,” a melodrama up to date. The plot {s carefully constructed through- out In details, and commands the respectful attention of the audience. It is the old story of woman's wrongs, with a smooth villain with some two or three equally bad friends, the soubrette and a comedian or two to'make matters lively. The company supporting 1s far above the average, and so good that {t ts Impossible to individual- ize. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Another first- class variety entertainment is that present- ed at Kernan’s this week, known as Fields’ Vaudevilles. The program 1s quite lengthy, ard all of the specialties are first-class. The feature of the entertainment was the singing of Miss Phylis Allen, who sang sev- eral popular songs in a rich contralto voice and received several encores. Charles Ga- lette exhibits some trained monkeys that do a lot of funny business, and the Weston sisters contributed a clever song and dance. Fields and Hanson, who are always good, aid a laughable sketch, and Carroll and Hinds gave an Ethiopian sketch of geat merit. Joe Flynn sang himself into favor, and La Fluer did a startling gymnastic act, concluding with a backward dive from the top of a 25-foot ladder. A roaring after- piece closed the program. ——__ Improvements at Ryland. The Ryland M. E. Church, located at the corner of 10th end D streets southwest, has been undergoing extensive improve- ments during the past summer. The pres- ent church edifice was erected in 1844 and rebuilt In 1888. In June, when the pastor, Rev. Dr. S. M. Hartsock, vacated the par- sonage to spend the summer at his country seat, “Har-Lew,” near Laurel, Ma., the old parsonag: was torn down and two modern dwelling houses erected on the ground. One of them is to be used as a parsotiage. The Ladies’ Mite Society of the church is furnishing it with new furni- ture throughout, and early in October the pastor will return to cecupy what 1s re- garded as the finest Methodist parsonaze in the elty. Dr. Hartsock is now serving the charge for the third year. At a meet- ing of the quarterly conference, held the 22d instant, a preamble and ‘resolution was unanimously adopted expressing the earnest wish of the church, “that there be no chznge in its pastor at the approach- ing annual conference.” It is expected that this request of the church will be granted and Dr, Hartsock remain a3 pastor.

LANSING, Troy, N. ¥. AMONG THE WORKINGMEN The Talk of Affiliating With the American Federation. The Commitice Not Ready to Report— Meeting of Carpenters and Stone- cutters Now Out. The committee of which Mr. George O. Cook is chairman, which was appointed at the last meeting of the: Federation of La- bor to consider the advisability and feas- ibility of affiliating with the American Federation of Labor, held a meeting Sun- day last, but did not come to any conclu- sien. One of the members was absent for this reason, and it is understood it was deemed best to defer action until another meeting, which will, it is sald, be held next Sunday. There is.a good deal of uncertainty as to the opinions of the members of the com- mittee. There ts, however, a belief on the part of many members of the societies of organized labor here that whether the Federation of labor decides favorably or unfavorably on the question of affiliating with the American Federation, there will soon be @ branch of the latter organized in the District. It is asserted also that it will not be long before the headquarters of the A. F. of L. will be located in Wash- ington. When, however, the possibility of the latter event was suggested by a Star reporter recently to Vice President Duuc: of the A. F. of L. Mr. Duncan expressel the opinion that the headquarters of the order will remain for some years at least in the west, where the membership of the order is numerically stronger than in the eat The . long-pending dispute between the plumbers and steam fitters will, it is ex- pected by many craftsmen, be called up at the meeting of the Federation tonight, and finally settled. Stonecutters Discharged. Fifteen of the stonecutters who were em- ployed on the new Corcoran Art building were discharged Saturday last. The reason given for their dismissal was stated to be the near completion of the work,-which, it is thought, will be entirely finished in about @ month. It is hoped by some of those who are at present empleyed on the new Corcoran Art building to be able to secure employment on the new state house at Providence, R. I,, upon which there will, it is expected, be work for 200 stonecutters for the next three years. There is @ rumor which those interested believe to be. well founded that Mr. Mc- Cabe, foréman\for Messrs. Norcross Bros. in Washington,\is to be made foreman of the state house ob in Providence. The epenters. The regular we meeting of Local No. 190, Carpentefs and Joiners, was held last night at theih hall, No. 627 Massachu- setts avenue northwest, with President Berner in the chair-end Mr. C. Sherer as secretary. Reports w¢fe-made by each of the delegates to the npn council of what took place thereat the last meeting. There was some discussion on the ad- visability of the appointment of a legisla- tive committee, and ithe suggestion will probably be adopted at the next meeting. The opinion was expressed and it was stated that the same view is taken by a large number of the working people of the District that the incoming Congress will be liberal in {ts appropriations for public improvements in the District, and will also do everything in its power to make the eight-hour law more generally effective than it now is. ——__ A Untform Rale Wanted. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Through the columns of The Star I would like to call attention to a decided improvement that can be made in the stop- ping of ;the motor cars. For a number of* years the Washington and . Georgetown road has been educating the public up to the fact that the cars stopped on the far corners, or, rather, crossed all streets be- fore stopping. At the present time there is not a man, woman or child in the Dis- trict that is not aware of this fact. Now come in the New York avenue cable and the 9th street motor lines and introduce the custom of stopping on the near corner. The result is, nine out of ten people get on the wrong corner, and lose their car in consequence. Now, why cannot these new rcads be made to conform to what we are all familiar with, and not make us have two sets of rules to remember? It would be just as easy for the new cars to stop on the far side of the street as not, and the accommodation to passengers would be very great. CITIZEN.
