An important step was taken last Satur- fay in the matter of the proposed electric sailway between Washington and Laurel; which indicates that the promoters of the mterprise mean business. An arbitration committee, with Mr. L. Db. Wine, represent- ng the railway, and Messrs. Michael Tier- sey and Arthur Carr, on behalf of the property owners, went over the several holdings and awarded damages, as follows: Wm. P. Magruder, $800; H. O. Emmons, $2,500; Fritz Domback, $500; C. W. Barr, $1,100; G. W. MeDermott, $700; A. H. Jacobs, George Dorr, $500. These damages were awarded for property taken for right of way, and are exceedingly ad- vantageous, it would seem, to the propercy owners. An average of 1% cents per foot was awarded, which is believed to be sreat- ly in excess of what the property would bring under the hammer. The particular property taken, with the exception of that belonging to Mr. Dorr, is located north of the Baltimore and Ohto railroad depot, and between Maryland avenue and the tracks of that company. Most of the property is improved by small frame buildings, and some of these will have to be removed. From the railroad crossing at Maryland avenue the electric railway will run paral- lel with the tracks of the steam railway to the line of Riverdale Park, a distance cf W feet. This line traverses much im- ‘oved property owned by the following persons: W. P. Magruder, H. O. Emmons, Fitz Domback, = ¢ W. Barr, George W. MeDermott, A. H. Jacobs, Cecil Stever, Eugene Fowler, Tom Lancaster, Redd, Jackson, Augustus Lancaster, J. B. Burnside, L. W. Habercomb and J. J. Klie- rer. With the exception of those above mentioned, to whom awards were made Saturday, the n y have not been’ secured. Fowler damages for $250 were 2 some weeks ago. It is understood some diffi that ity will be experienced in ob- taining the rights of way through the prop- erties of Messrs. Callahan and MeFarland, south of Maryland avenue, and one or two pieces of ground located north of ‘hat avenue. In these cases the company w'll have to exercise its charter right and in- stitute condemnation proceedings. Tony Smith entered the ticket office of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station at Branchville in an intoxicated condition last Friday night, and was promptly ordered out by the night operator, Mr. S. B. Busey. He refused to go and was summarily ejec ed from the place. While Busey was re- turning to the office through the waiting room he was attacked by Smith and some of his friends, and struck several times in the face. Busey then entered the telegraph office, closing the door after him. Smith got into the office by breaking open a win- dow, and rushing upon Busey, struck him agai The latter ran out of the office into the waiting room, where a number of peo- had gathered, and Smith was seized by several men and prevented from doing fur- ther damage. He made his escape from the men, and shortly afterward reappeared at the station on a horse, which he aad bor- rowed from a farmer, and greatly alarmed the people by riding the animal at break- neck speed up and down the platform.

While Sergt. Kenney and Officer Fifield vere in Brightwood Saturday evening a large double wagon approached them at a rapid rate. In the wagon were two men, who were urging the horses to a greater speed. Both policemen stepped in the road and called the driver to stop; instead of doing so the men tried to drive past, and in so doing struck Officer Fifield, who was badly bruised. Both men were captured, and at the eighth precinct station gave their names as John B. Clarke and James T. Clarke. They are held for disorderly con- duct and reckless driving.

The republicans of Laurel and Prince George's county, aided by those from How- ard, Anne Arundel and Montgomery, the three counties bordering on Laurel, gave Lloyd Lowndes, candidate for governor, H. M. Clabaugh, candidate for attorney gen- eral,and the county candidates a rousing re- ception on their appearance there Saturday afternoon. Mr. Lowndes arrived there at 1 o'clock from Washington. He was accom- panied on his trip from Washington by John W. Belt, clerk of the court for Prince George’s county, Mr. William A. Meloy, ex- Collector of Internal Revenue F. Snowden Hill, Congressman Coffin, Secretary James W. McKee of the republican national com- mittee, and a number of Washington repub- licans, wearing the badge of the Union ‘Republican Club of Washington, D. C. At the depot a parade had formed in three sections to meet Mr. Lowndes and escort him to Laurel Grove, under the marshalship of Capt. Wm. M. Potter, with Messrs. Thomas Simpson and J. P. Lewis as aids. The parade moved from Main street to Washington avenue, from Washington ave- nue to Montgomery street, from Montgom- ery street to Laurel Grove, the scene of the meeting and barbecue, where fully 800 re- publicans had gathered. The speakers rode in the second section of the parade in car- riages. The Laurel Military Band led the first section of the parade and the Laurel Drum Corps the second section. As soon as Mr. Lowndes was recognized in ascending the gaily decorated stand he was greeted with cheers, which he gracefully acknowl- edged. The meeting was called to order at 2 p.m. by Mr. James Albert Clark, the chairman. The following gentlemen were made vice presidents: William H. Diven, John W. Belt, P. P. Castle, R. H. Sadler, Joseph R. Wheel- er, Captain Wm. M. Potter, F. A. Shan- nabrook, F. A. Holden, F. H. Smith, James P. Curley, G. B. Timanus, J. P. Lewis, L. A. Ellis, John P. Duvall, Peter Slingerland, James W. McKee, T. John Bowie, Luther Brashears, C. C. Weston, Thomas D. Bond, Maj. A. C. Rhodes and Thomas W. Wyman. ‘The speakers were: Congressman Charles E. Coffin, Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, Hon. H. M. Clabaugh, Captain William M. Potter, F. Snowden Hill and George D. Day. Congressman Coffin was introduced as the first speaker and said: ‘The time has come when the people have an opportunity of overthrowing a corrupt ring in the state of Maryland. This is not a fight of republi- cans against democrats, but a fight of re- publicans and democrats against a few men who have acquired control of the demo- cratic party, and have centralized ail po- litical power in their hands.” Mr. Coffin also touched on Prince George's county af- fairs, and said he thought a change of ad- ministration would be benefjcial. This is Mr. Coffin’s first appearance in the Mary- land campaign this year. Chairman Clarke next introduced Lloyd Lowndes, candidate for governor. Mr. Lowndes stated in opening that he had not come to make a set speech. He intended to open his campaign next Monday. He spoke of Mr. Hurst, the democratic candi- date for governor, terming him (Mr. Lowndes) a “good promiser.” He said: “I may be a good promiser, and 1 think my reputation is such that I carry out any promises I make.” He also referred to the first promise made by Mr. Hurst in the present campaign—the one made at Cum- berland Friday night, when Mr. Hurst de- clared to his audience, which was cum- posed princtpally of persons who had been interested in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, or who were at the present time in- terested in it, that he would favor and sanction a bill to pay certain claims con- nected with the canal, and said: “You can therefore see, my friends, that the first promise Mr. Hurst makes is to carry out and sanction a bill which I championed two years ago in the Maryland legislature, which passed the legislature, but which failed to receive the signature of a demo- cratic executive. This bill,” said Mr. Lowndes, “was to pay the just claims of the laboring men who spent their labor and money in carrying on that great work.” In concluding his speech Mr. Lowndes said: ‘The democratic party has controlled this state for thirty years, and from the tone of the speeches of the democratic or tors, they think their party owns the state, and intends to hold on to it at all hazards and forever. They are trying to frigaten the people by telling them that if this siate should vote against the dominant party at this time, all sorts of dark calamities will befall the good citizens of Maryland. They say there will be negro domination; mar- riages between whites and blacks, mixed schools, colored policemen and firemen in the city of Baltimore, and colored oifice- holders in every school district in the state. ‘They appeal to the prejudices of the people. They know these things cannot be. The time for such talk is long since past. The young men of today, the intelligent, inde- pendent voter, will not be frightened by such speeches, wil not be influenced by such arguments, and will not be distracted from the main issues, which are good govern- ment and good citizenship.” Chairman Clarke next introduced Mr. Harry M. Clabaugh, candidate for attor- ney general, who said in part that this was a campaign of the people, and not of political parties, and one that cannot be regarded too seriously. He said: “It is an occasion when your freedom is at stake—the freedom of the ballot and an equal right of suffrage. He said that neither the schools, the laws nor the churches had a vestige of safety surround- ing them, so long as the ballot could be polluted by men. He said no one lived up to the full consideration of good citi- zenship, nor deserved the right to vote, who neglected the fundamental principle of that right—to have his vote counted as it is cast. Mr. Clabaugh said the same old humbugs were being perpetrated by the democrats of appealing to prejudices by referring to the force bill negro domina- tion, etc. But the people, he stated, would not be fooled any longer by these appeals, but would demand the right issue—that of self-government. He spoke of the demo- crats’ failure to provide an equitable re- assessment of property, and stated that his party would see that its pledges in this regard, as well as others, would be carried out. Capt. Willlam M. Potter of the Wash- ington bar, the next speaker, made an elo- quent address. He spoke of the democratic party's broken promises and eulogized the candidate for governor. Mr. F. Snowden Hill of Upper Marlboro’, ex-collector of internal revenue for Mary- land, followed Capt. Potter. He said the negroes of Prince George's did not want mixed schools, all they wanted was good schools, good teachers and liberal appro- priations to carry them on. In this many of the negroes present acquiesced. After Mr. George D. Day, candidate for the state senate from Howard county, had concluded, the meeting adjourned until 8 o'clock at the Academy of Music. After the meeting Mr. Lowndes held a reception. At the night meeting Mr. James P. Curley presided, and speeches were made by Judge George E. Loweree, Joseph H. Farrell of Williamsport, and a number of the candi- dates on the county ticket. The prohibitionists held an open air meeting here Saturday evening. Mr. Ed- win Higgins of Baltimore made the prin- cipal address of the evening. Rev. Dr. Fizer, pastor of the First Baptist Church here, also made an address, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rose of Indiana sang prohibition songs. —— Amos J. Cummings for Congress. Amos J. Cummings has been nominated by acclamation as the Tammany candidate for Congress in the tenth New York dis- trict by a convention in the assembly room of the Pequod Club Saturday night. The state democracy has nominated Wil- liam J. Browne to run against Cummings. Browne {s a printer, thirty-eight years old. He is a member of the Manhattan Single Tax Club of the New York Tax Reform As- sociation, and treasurer of the West Side Tariff Reform Club. In 1385 he secre- tary of the executive committee of the united labor party; in 1888 he was chairman of theWorkingmen’s ‘Tariff Reform League; in 1892 he was an anti-snapper delegate, and in 184 he was one of the organizers of the state democracy, and he is now a mem- ber of its executive committee. —~-e+_—____ For Mayor of Brooklyn.

Latest Styles and Designs in Carpets, Draperies and Curtains. This is the time of year when the careful housekeeper who wants everything about her just so gets the hired man to unroll the perlor carpet and shake out the moth balls, and bring down the bundles of drapery and portieres, while she herself goes to the cedar chest or closet and gets out the lace curtains. In many cases her inquiring eyes find little to satisfy. them in the looks of the articles. The carpet is worn, maybe, and a little faded; the portieres and drapery have lost their gra¢eful set, and the cur- tains have broken threads here and there in them. They'll ali'do for service in some other room, but they.are out of question in the best apartment where the argus-eyed Mrs. Smith and ‘the critical Mrs. Jones are apt to come and discover their sh@rtcom- ings. So the sensible housekeeper who has this experience puts on her bonnet and goes down town to replenish the parlor. ‘There are many of her in Washington at this time, and a Star reporter visited W. H. Hoeke's big place at 8th and Market space this morning to see what such people were buying in such things this year. Hoeke’s store don’t look as big as it 1s, because an L runs back on 8th street in the rear; but if the establishment was piled up in the air it would make ten stories, each 25 by 100 feet. The visitor was taken in charge by Mr. B. F. Cole, who knows as much about the matter of house furnishing as his name- sake, B. Franklin, did about the secrets of philosophy. “Novelties in the carpet line this season ere running into the greens,” said Mr. Cole. “Moquettes, of course, are most pop- ular on account of their price, while the luxurious favor Axminsters and Wiltons. Body brussels is always a standard, and is better In quality and styles this year than ever. Now, here is a Wilton, and there is a Wilton velvet.” Mr. Cole spread out two pieces of rich brown figured carpet that seemed identical in texture to the visitor’s eye and touch. “It is hard for any one but an expert to tell the difference,” he went on, “but the Wilton costs more than a dollar more a yard. Last year a Wilton was placed on the floor of the Senate and a Wilton velvet on the floor of the House. The Senate car- pet needs replacing, while that in the House, with harder usage, is 28 good, nearly, as ever. Here is a late fad—a china-blue Wilton,” and Mr. Cole spread out a roll precisely of the color and design one sees in old crockery. He showed rolls of Mo- quettes, Axminsters and Brussels that were striking, a Moquette of the darkest green ground with bunches of pink roses being particularly effective. “Rugs are holding thelr own, and Smyr- nas are favored by the well-to-do. We have had a great call for our Japanese rug, an excellent imitation of a fine Turkish in de- sign, which we sold last year for $15 and are now selling for $8.40. We disposed of over 500 during September.” Leading the way downstairs, Mr. Cole displayed the latest things in draperies, portleres and lace curtains. “French tapestries are all the rage with the luxurious,” he remarked, pointing out one of rich design worked in silk; “but it is easy for those in moderate circumstances to secure handsome effects at low figures. Here ere some Derby curtains for $5 a pair, and here are some Roman stripes as low as $3.50. You see they are very effective.” In the lace curtains department he drew out and flung over a curtain rod plece after piece of filmy drapery, and gave an inter- esting description af each. He showed the real duchesse, costing $50 a pair, and the Saxory imitations, which the uninitiated reporter would have bet were the same, at $3.50. Then he draped Honiton, Cluny, Brussels and Nottingham until his visitor called a halt. |, “We are preparing to put the draperies and hangings in the new Lafayette Square Opera House,” sald’ Mr. Cole, in conclusion. “They will cést the trifle of $3,000 or so and we anticipate making them quite a featu in the beauty of Mr. Albaugh’s play house. — AN INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION. A Glimpxe at the Secrets of the Great Modern Variety Store. Twenty years ago a person who wanted to purchase a variety of articles, such as pictures, toys, Kitchen utensils, toflet things, sporting goods, and so forth, was compelled to visit althost as many different stores. Especially. was this so regarding the things mosf’ generally used in the household or in every-day living. Nowa- days, however, it ts possible for a buyer to enter one establishment, secure everything he wants in a single journey through it. Such an emporium is the Boston Variety Store at Nos. 705 to 711 Market space,where Mr. Emmons Smith has. successfully con- ducted business for a number of years. It is an international exposition on a small but substantial scale, when the truth is to be told, and a Visit to it will develop the education inf the acquaintance it will, give one with the number of novel and untsual articles on exhibition and sale, as well as the immense assortment of useful and dec- orative things that crowd the capacity of the immense storerooms. A Star reporter asked Mr. Smith today how he kept track of all his immense stock and how he dis- covered such a diversity in public taste and demand to make his business in catering to it profitable. Mr. Smith looked amused at the question. “It would be impossible for me to tell you how I do it in a short chat," he remarked. “T attend to the business myself and devote all my time to it, and perhaps that's one of the secrets of its success. I do at least 85 per cent of all the stock buying, ani I nave made such a study of the business, and it is so much a part of me, that I can tell by intuition almost when anything needs re- placing. I suppose I carry 10,000 different articles in stock. Nothing novel or useful can be manufactured that I do not get it immediately it is introduced. You may gain some idea of the quantity of lines I carry when I tell you that after the last Christ- mas holidays I had to order 2,200 different articles of which the supply had been cn- tirely cold out. Everything of domestic and foreign manufacture that people may wish to buy is included in my stock. I received 110 cases of goods from Europe in one day a couple of weeks ago. “Oh, yes,” he continued, “‘the business is increasing right along. These buildings cover a space 85 by 120 feet, and are so packed from cellar to roof that I really haven't space te show anything as it should be shown. I have gotten another storage room over at 211 12th street, and that may relieve the pressure Somewhat. Advertising in The Star brings the customers to me also. I am convinced the ad. in Friday’s Star brought a thousand buyers here on Saturday. I call that good returns, don’t you? A man might write a book and then ees a to give an idea of what this store is ec.” —__ A chance to make $500.

While no reason 1s assigned by the com- manding officers of these vessels for the movements, it is assumed to be a desire of the admiral commanding the Asiatic sta- tion to have them in southern China, where they may be readily available in the event of trouble such as has been ex- perlenced during the past summer in the looting and burning of missionary prop- erty. Both the Machias and the Monocacy are of light draftand adapted for navigat- ing to some extent the Chinese rivers. 0° Army Order: Capt. Carl F.
