CAPTURED IN BALTIMORE Benjamin Johnson Confesses to Killing Captain Revelle. His Plea is Self-Defense—Story to the Police—Feeling Runs High— The Dead Man. Benjamin Johnson, the young colored man, mate on the schooner John A. H. Dixon, who murdered Capt. Revelle on the schooner while off Cedar Point Sunday night, is under arrest in Baltimore. He has admitted his identity end confessed the killing, but says he did it in self-defense. His arrest was the result of the quick work of Sheriff Albrittain, who went to Baltimore as soon as he had learned of the movements of Johnson. As printed in yesterday’s Star, the murder was committed Sunday evening after sun- down, and Johnson escaped from the schooner in the yawlboat, leaving the two inexperienced men to drift about the river for nearly twenty-four hours before Capt. Geoghegan of the Sue picked them up and towed them ashore. Johnson, it is said, reached the shore near Pope's creek, and then made his way as far as Cox's station. When he appear- ed at the station he wanted to express his satchel to Nannie Wilson at Woodbury, a suburb of Baltimore. The express agent told him there was no delivery at Wood- bury, and so he then had it shipped to Baltimore to be called for. When asked about the value of the sat- chel he said it was worth $10, bnt when the agent questioned the truth of the val- uation he dropped to $12. As soon as Sheriff Albritiain learned of these movements he telegraphed to the Baltimore authorities and also went to Baltimore. His Statement. Detectives Ward and Hussey were de- tailed in Baltimore to look after the case and they found Johnson on Baltimore street, in company with another colored man, named Green. Capt. Freeburger of the detective corps questioned the prisoner when he reached police headquarters, and to him he made the following statement: “I shipped on the Dixon at Norfolk, Va., a week ago last Thursday, and the boat, loaded with lumber, sailed the same night. ‘The erew consisted of Capt. Revelle, two colored boys and myself. Last Sunday night, when the schooner was about to anchor, the captain orlered me to hoist or lower the jib. I supposed he meant for mo to lower the jib, but he sald he meant for me to hoist {t. We got into a quarrel and the captain threatened to shoot me and advanced on me with a pistol. I grabbed a handspike and struck hin over the head. He fell to the deck. “The schooner.was then about a quarter or a half mile from the Maryland shore. The colored boys told me { had better leave, as they said that when the captain reecvered he would kill me. I took the yawlboat, rowed ashore, went to Cox's station and sent my bundle of clothes and satchel to Baltimore by express. I then shipped aboard the schooner Metamora, which reached Baltimore Tueslay morn- Sheriff Albrittain went with the rMsoner and officers when the alleged murderer was teken before Justice Murray and arraigned for the killing. When the case had been finished and the prisoner held, the sheriff asked that he be held in the Baltimore jail for a few days, and, it is said, intimated that the jail at Port Tobacco may not hold him if he is returned just now. The feel- ing against the prisoner in Charles county, especially about the river front, is very bit~ ter, althodigh it is not thought that any at- tempt to lynch him would be made if he were taken there at this time. The Murdered Man. Yesterday afternoon the body of the mur- dered captain was brought here from Rtvy- erside by Undertaker Fry and Mr. Horace Johnson, and was then tsken to Bultimore for interment. Mr, Benjamin Miller of the firm of Libbey & Miller, who went down the river to look after the cargo of lumber, made the neces- sary arrangements for its shipment here. In conversation with a Star reporter Mr. Miller spoke in highest terms of the mur- dered man. He wss a trustworthy man, and was © general favorite among the shippers, he said, and he could hardly real- ize that he had figured in such a row as was described by the two witnesses. The funeral of the murdered man took place today from his late residence, No. 2008 Fairmcunt avenue. DEMOCRATIC DAY. Mr. John E. Hurst Speaks at Rock- ville. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 25, 1895. Tuesday was democratic day at Rockville, the same being observed by a mass meeting at the fair grounds, which was attended by some six or seven hundred persons. Mr. John E. Hurst, candidate for governor, and the party accompanying him, consisting of Messrs. Charles C. Crothers, candidate for attorney general; Thomas C. Weeks, Isaac Lobe Straus, J. A. Biggs, Henry E. Davis, W. Lee Carey and Harry Hurst, arrived on the 12 m. express train from Baltimore, which stopped here for thetr accommoda- tion. The distinguished party were met at the station by a committee, consisting of Spencer C. Jones, James H. Cashell, Hat- tersly W. Talbott, Wm. M. Canby, Oliver H. P. Clark, Howard Griffith, E. C. Etchison, Hou Hilton, James P. B. Veirs and W. B. Mobley. After an exchange of greetings the whole party were driven to the fair grounds in carriages and were there receiv- ed by a committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs. James B. Henderson, Mrs. H. Maurice Talbott, Mrs. George C. Dawson, Mrs. me W. Talbott, Mrs A. J. Almoney, Mrs. W. Lamar and Mrs. Edw. C. Peter. After aa informal reception of half an hour, during which time an immense amount of hand- shaking was indulged in, the party were con- ducted to the speakers’ stand and the meet- ing called to order by Mr. Hattersly W. Tal- bott, chairman of the state central commit- tee, who, after a few appropriate remarks, named for president of the meeting Spencer C. Jones, with one vice president from each election district, as follows: First district, Reuben Riggs; second, Robert 8. Hilton; third, John H. Williams; fourth, H. Maurice Talbott; fifth, Samuel D. Waters; ey James N. Benton; seventh, Dr. Wm. El- Boe eighth, Robert M. Mackall, ninth, Gh Walker; tenth, H. C. Fawcett; eleventh, Samuel S. Ha: twelfth, Wm. C. Bellison} thirteenth, Oliver H. P. Clark; secretaries, Boule F. Waters and Dr. John R. Batson. Upon assuming the place of president Mr. Jones made a brtef but telling speech, in which he pleaded for harmony in the ranks and counseled all good democrats to loyally support the ticket. At the close of his speech and after a lvely air by one of the two bands present, Mr. Jones introduced to the audience Mr. John E. Hurst as the regu- larly nominated candidate of the democratic party for governor, and that gentleman was received with shouts of applause. Being a novice in public speaking, Mr. Hurst con- tented himself by following his manuscript, which was done in a clear tone of voice and with evidence of sincerity in all his utter- ances. He pledged himself if elected to carry out every measure advocated in the party platform and to do all in his power to advance the material interests of the state. At the close of his remarks the speaker was warmly applauded, after which the meeting adjourned to partake of lunch, which had been bountifully provided by the managers of the meeting. After an hour’s ceremony of “tilling in,” at which no time was appar- ently wasted, the meeting reconvened and ue treated to an able address by Mr. Isaac L. Straus of Baltimore. He was followed by Messrs. Charles C. Crothers and Thomas C. ‘Weeks, and the meeting closed with an ad- dress by Mr. Henry E. Davis, an old favorite here. Mr. Hurst and party left here on the 5 p.m. train for their homes, apparently much pleased with the day's proceedings. —_- A Humorist’s London Letters, Readers of The Star who enjoyed the ex- periences in London of the humorist,Charles Lederer, as related in last Saturday's Star, will be glad to know that in The Star of Saturday next Mr. Lederer will give some account of his yisit to the “elite cemetery,” as he terms Westminster Abbey.

Tuesday an address on Presbyterianism in the District and in the nation will be de- sere by Rev. Dr. C. L. Thompson of New ork. Wednesday, “Presbyterlanism and Educa- tion” will form the themes of Chancellor |. McCracken of New York and Rev. Dr. Pur- vis of Princeton, N. J. ‘Thursday has not as yet been provided for.

A. R. Regular Meeting of U. S. Grant Circle Last Night. The regular meeting of U. S. Grant Circle, No. 1, Ladtes of the G@ A. R., was an in- teresting one, it being the first since the national encampment at Louisville, Ky., which many of the members attended. The president, Mrs. Nellie C. Royce, having beeneelected to the office of national senior vice president, received many congratula- tions. The delegate, Mrs. Cornelia Avery, read a report of the proceedings of the national convention, and also showing the growth of the order, which now numbers about 20,000 members, sixty-six new circles having been organized during the past year. Thetr widows and orphans’ homes are also in a flourishing condition. The beautiful salute tosthe flag which is used by this circle at their regular meetings, as well as at all public entertainments given by them, was exemplified at the national convention, and received with much applause. It was re- solved by that body that this salute be adepted by all departments and circles do- sircus of doing s0, and also that it shall be called the Paige salute, in honor of Com- rade Frank Paige, who designed it for U. Grant Circle, of which he is an honorary member. Comrade Paige is one of the few who received a medal of honor for bravery on the field of battle, and was compelled by reason of disabilities incurred in his coun- try’s service to resign a lucrative position in the War Department to seek the rest and quiet of his New England home. Comrade Granville Fernald, junior vice commander of U. S. Grant Post, No. 12, was received as an honorary member, and made some pleasing remarks. There was also a duet by Mrs. Myers and Comrade Johnston; duet, by Comrades Johnston ani Clark, and a vocal solo by Comrade Player. ‘The iadies of this circle are making ar- rangements for an unique entertainment to be given at an early date, the proceeds of which will be devoted to their relief fund. Mrs. Florence C. George, treasurer, was also re-elected. —<.__. Woodburn Citizens. ‘There was a good attendance at the meet- ing of the Woodburn Citizens’ Association Tuesday evening. President Walker was in the chair, and, after minutes of last meet- ing were read and approved, Mr. A. Lamond, chairman of the road committee, reported that the members of his committee had an interview with the Commissioners recently in regard to the condition and re- pairing of Blair road, and that the Com- missioners informed them that nothing could be done, for the reason that said road was, by act of Congre: an_ abandoned road from its junction ith Rock Creek road to Lamond’s Station, and that no re- pairs could be made until Congress author- ized the same by a special act. This state of affairs is brought about by the recenuly approved plans for street extension in the suburbs. The Commissioners, however, promised to repair the stretch of road from Lamond’s Station to Takoma Park. By unanimous consent the association passed a resolution authorizing the road commit- tee to prepare a suitable petition: asking Congress to appropriate a sum of money sufficient to repair the Blair road and put it in a passible condition, pending the open- ing of new streets. Mr. C. A. Langley reported that work on the new school house would soon be com- menced, as plans were about ready for the builder. President Walker thought it a good time for the patrol box committee to get to- gether and try to secure an appropriation for a patrol box, as it was very incon- venient to have to go to the Soldiers’ Home or to Brightwood for the purpose of tele- phoning for a police officer or an ambu- lance. On motion, Messrs. C. A. Langley, ‘A. Walker and A. Lamond were appointed a committee of three io push the matter of securing a patrol box for Woodburn. Mr. John Meiklejohn of the post office committee reported that a letter box had been put up at Kelly's store in Woodburn, and mail was being collected and delivered at 5 o'clock p.m. every day. Afver some little rejoicing the meeting then adjourned. 4 ——— Hope and Help Mission. ‘There was a pleasant little social held in the parlors of the Hope and Help Mission, 604 H street northwest, last night, under the auspices of the young ladies of the relief committee of the Christian Endeavor Society of Calvary Baptist Church and their friends.

Among others that were present were: Mrs. E. K. Knowles, Mrs. T. G. Jones, Mrs. E. C. Faw- cett and Mrs. 8. D. Luckett. The social was in the nature of a donation party, each one bringing groceries or money. ——— Death of E. H. Larrabee. E. H.
