AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Many Social Notes From Across Rock Oreek Jean Ingelow Evening and a Dance— Progress of the Evangelistic Meetings—Notes. There was a “Jean Ingelow Evening” at Grace Church last night, and the delightful and beautiful thoughts of the talented poetess were most effectually presented to a large audience. Some of the efforts were set to music for the occasion. The selec- tions were varied, and deep interest was manifested throughout the program. “The Songs of Seven,” one of Jean Ingelow’s most popular poems, was illustrated by ap- propriate tableaux, the young ladies of the church and children of the Sunday school fcrming the pictures. The poems were read by Miss Bertha Payne. Miss Bertha alsu gave a reading, ‘Jean Ingelow,” and Miss Mary Lockwood followed with a vocal solo, “When Sparrows Build.” Then came Mr. R. Clinton Balinger, who sang in splendid voice “The Snow \Lies White.” Mr. Balinger’s work with various church choirs is well known. Later there came a reading, “A Reverie,” by Miss Laura Benton; solo (voca}), “O Fair Dove. O Fond Dove,” Miss Emma Ballman; solo (vocal), “On the Rocks of Aberdeen,” Miss Lelu Grimes. The accompanists of the evening were Miss Anna Abbott, Miss Lulu Simmons and Mr. Richard S. Balinger. The program was the outcome of much care and preparation, and proved a rich‘reward of effort. To Miss Minnie Grimes is largely,due the credit of bringing about so happy a result. Dancing Party. Night before last there was an extremely pleasant dancing party given by the Misses McCarthy of 1663 Valley street. The house was decorated beautifully with palms and flowers for the occasion, and all the usual incidental attractions were -there.. Among those present were: Misses Mamie, Maggic and Helen McCarthy, Misses Ida, Maggie and Ella Riley, Misses Lottie and Lulu Colburn, Misses Katie and Mamie Whelan, Miss Dolon, Miss Harrison, Mrs. Kidwell, Mrs. Weisenberger, Mr. Chas. R. Murray, Messrs. Will'am and Michael Sullivan, Mr. William Whelan, Mr. Daniel Murphy, Mr. William Murphy, Mr. Harry Dolan, Mr. Frank Underwood, Mr. Thos. Homiller, Mr. William Volkman and Mr. Frank Colburn. The evening was one of unalloyed enjoy- ment. Evangelistic Meetings. Tonight Rev. Mr. Neighbor will take another step in his evangelistic work here ard preach on the streets among the peo- ple of the poorest sections. The first exhor- tations will be made on 32d street below the canal.- He will be assisted by Rev. M. Thomas, the pastor cf the Gay Street Bap- tist Church, and about twenty-five repre- sentatives of his congregation. Last night the Baptist Church was overrun by the crowd who came to hear the evangelist speak. His sermon was on “The Two Ways; the Way of Life and the Way of Death.”. Notes. Eminent Commander Thomas of Colum- tla Commandery No. 2, council officers and twenty-five tir knights paid a fraternal visit last night to Potomac Commandery, No. 3. Informal addresses were made by Commander Thomas, Commander Vinson of Potomac, Past Eminent Commander R. W. Darby and vthers. The police have been instructed to use unusual diligence in securing the boys who have so annoyed Cooke Park residents by breaking their windows, etc. An example will be made of them when caught.

In the bottom of a gondola of a freight train, which arrived at Petersburg, Va. at a late hour Tuesday night from Norfoi was found a white man, well dressed, and vpon his face and head were ghastly wounds, and by his side was a heavy Piece of oak railing, with which the man was probably beaten. The wounded man, who was in an unconscious ccndition, was taken to the city jail, where he died early yesterday morning. In h's coat pocket was found a certifi- cate which stated that Wm. M. Wood en- listed in the naval reserve of the United States September 15, 1888, and was hon- orably discharged November 15, 1889. Among other papers found on his per- son was a certificate signed by John Ccoper, Inspector of hulls, and E. F. White, inspector of boilers for the city of Baltimore. Belonged Here. A telegram was sent to Mr. John H. Cooper, inspector of hulls at Baltimore, and in reply this official stated that Wood belongs in Washington and advised the police authorities to communicate with William Clipper, Sun building, Washing- ton, D. C. A telegram was immediately sent to that address. A coroner's inquest was held in the after- noon and the verdict of the jury was that Wm. M. Wood came to his death on the 16th day of October, 1895, from wounds on the head inflicted by parties unknown. Mr. Hess reached Petersburg last night from Washington and identified the body as that of . M. Wood. Mr. Hess will leave for Washington with the remains tcday. Arrested on Suspicion. Wm. Brennan and Henry Turner, two United States marines of the cruiszr Min- neapolis, and Adolph Lyners, a Germar emigrant, were arrested last night on the charge of beirg implicated in Wood’s mur- der. They all acknowledge that they were on the freight train upon which the body of Wood was found, stealing a ride from Norfolk to Petersburg, and that they were ordered off the train by the conductor. They say they got off, but boarded the train again as soon as it started and came ovly as far as Waverly, which is twenty- two miles east of Petersburg, where they got off and spent the night in the woods and came to Petersburg on another train. A Young Washingtovian. ‘W. M. Wood is a young Washingtonian about twenty-five years of age. His mother resides here with her two daughters and is a clerk in the Treasury Department. Young Wood had been in the navy, but akout eighteen months ago was licensed in Baltimore as first mate upon the At- lantie coast trading vessels. Six months ago he went to San Francisco to become first officer upon a Pacific mail steamer. His friends supposed he was still upon the Pacific and do not know how he came to be in Petersburg. THE LOYAL LEGION. Officers Elected—A Brilliant Recep- tion and Luncheon in the Evening. ‘The commandery-in-chief of the military order of the Loyal Legion continued in ses- sion to a late hour yesterday afternoon, and the election of the other officers was pro- ceeded with. Admiral Bancroft Gerardy wes chosen senior vice commander, Gen. Selden Connor, junior vice commander; Col. Jchn P. Nicholson; recorder-in-chief; Gen. ‘Albert Ordway, register-in-chief; Capt. Pe- ter D. Keyser, chancellor-in-chief, and Rev. H. Clay Trumbull, chaplain-in-chief. The counsel-in-chief was chosen in the persons of Gen. J. Marshall Brown,Col.Arnold Rand, Major George W. Tandler, Major William E. Huxford and Col. Chas. W. Davis. The delegates to the commandery were enter- tained in the evening at a delightful rece} tion and banquet lunch at the Arlington by the District of Columbia commandery of the legion. At 8 o'clock the guests began to arrive and for over an hour Gen. Gtbbon, Gen. Ordway and Col. Nicholson were kept busy greeting them. The lunch began at 9:30 o'clock, and was entirely informal, no speeches being made. At its conclusion’ the hosts and guests formed animated groups and told rare stories of the old war days. AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The ver- sion of Shakespeare's “Twelfth Night” which was presented at the Lafayette Square Opera House by Miss Ada Rehan and her admivable company was differ- ent from that given by Miss Marlowe and Miss Wainwright, and the setting of the play was more elaborate. The large au- dience present recognized the merit of the production and the excellence of the princi- pal players by lberal applause. Miss Re- han’s “Viola” has been commented upon in these columns during her former en- gagements, and it only need be said that she shows the same care and intelligence in her impersonation that has won for her warm commendation both in this country and in London. Mr. James Lewis was ex- cellent as “Sir Toby,” George Clarke was gcod as “Malvolio,” as was also Herbert Gresham as “Sir Andrew Aguecheek.” Mr. Craig as “The Duke,” Mr. Sidney Herbert as “Sebastian,” Miss Carlisle as “Olivia,” Miss Percy Haswell as ‘Maria’ and Mr. Guttenson made a fairly good chorus, and sing well. A scn of Commissioner Tfues- dell made his first appearance here with the company, playing the part of “Valen- tine.” Tonight “As You Like It” will be given, with Miss Rehan as “Rosalind. Concert at Calvary Church.—A unique and thoroughly enjoyable entertainment was the concert of the Park Sisters given last night at the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house. Quite a good-sized audience was present to hear this quartet of instru- mentalists. They are versatile in their musical abilities, and their program last night included cornet solos, trios and quar- tets, mandolin solos and trios, a trombone solo, a zither solo, and a quartet for man- dolin, zither and guitar. Some of their ianissimo effects on the cornet were par- ticularly fine, and nearly every number was encored. The audience was favored with a number not on the program, “The Lost Chord,” a cornet quartet, in which the Park Sisters were accompanied by Mr. Percy S. Foster. Local artists assisting in the enter- tainment were Miss Zue Brockett and Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff; Miss Brockett with recitations and clever imitations, and Mrs. Shir-Cliff in two well-rendered soprano solcs, in which she was accompanied by Dr. Bischoff. Two Solid Hours of Humor.—Bill Nye is a walking encyclopedia of fun, and will make you forget all the ills and trouble of life for two solid hours. The exceedingly laughable caricatures of Mr. Poole, who has the rare faculty of catching the very spirit of Mr. Nye’s sketches, blend admirably with the droll humor of Nye, and between these two kings of the platform the spectator is kept in laughter throughout the entire evening. Whoever misses seeing and hearing them on Saturday evening, October 26, at Met- zerott Hall, as they discourse upon the subject “Farming Exposed,” will throw away an opportunity for a rare evening's enjoyment that may never come again, Mr. John L. Stoddard.—The well-known lecturer, Mr. John L. Stoddard, is now at his home in Boston, rapidly recovering from an operation recently made upon his throat. He expects to begin his season in Chicago the 29th of this month. The origin of the abcess from which he was suffering was a salivary calculus, which had formed in a submaxillary gland. He says that ais enun- ciation ought to be now better than ever, fur Demosthenes acquired his marvelous power of articulation by carrying a pebble in his mouth. Stuart Robson.—At the Lafayette Square Opera House, on Monday next, Mr. Stuart Robson, supported by a company of rare excellence, will appear in his new play, “Government Acceptance,” which is found- ed on scenes and incidents in the Bohemian circle at the national capital. The play tells an interesting story of the efforts of a young man to have the government ac- cept the model of a man-of-war, which he has invented. In act 3 the inventor's “den” is shown, and the model of his boat ex- hibited. It is the most realistic stage pie- ture of recent years. It is simply an effect introduced legitimately. Nor is it intro- duced for effect purposes, but because through the flashing lights run the main arterles of the drama, and is as necessary as the characters. Three other acts are staged with the same care and skill. Scenic artists visited Washington and Arlington Heights, where the scenes of the play are laid, and have faithfully reproduced many historic spots. The production Is thorough- ly up-to-date. ‘The play is from the pen of Daniel L. Hart, and is American in theme, character and surroundings. The United States government figures prominently, and there is a pleasant tinge of patriotism. Mr. Robson has a character which gives im opportunity for a display of his wonderful versatility. “The 20th Century Girl.""—The “20th Cen- tury Girl,” one of the largest and strongest companies on the road today, with many well-known artists in the cast, will be at Allen’s Grand Opera House on Monday, Oc- tober 21. In speaking of the strength of this company, and the wide reputation of its members, such names as the following substantiate these words: Miss Mollie Ful- ler (in the title role), John T. Kelly and Gus Williams (the best-known Irish and Dutch character impersonators on the American stage today), Catherine Linyard (popular prima donna), Jesse Williams (who directs the chorus of forty voices), William Cameron (popular comedian), the three sis- ters Hawthorne, Georgia Hawley, Harriet Williams, Richard Barry, Emma Levey, Maud Dalton, Ida Wilhemly, Thomas Lewis and others just.as well known and recog- nized for talent and merit. Manager Hal- ien has spared no expense in securing his talent, nor has he forgotten to costume and stage the play with as much taste and lavish display as was done during its in- itial son. Some parts have been re- modeled, and several new features, rew songs and novelties introduced, making it one of the brightest things in musical comedy. William Haworth, Playwright.—Mr. Ha- worth, in writing his latest play, set a shining example fcr his fellew craftsmen. He produced a timely American play, in story, characters and location, the really sterling result.of a native author. He has woven into the five acts of the play plenty of interesting dramatic material, avoiding the mistake of many authors of today, who try to spread a one-act story over four or five acts. “On the Mississippi” fairly teems with stirring incidents and comic features, keeping a continuous show of excitement and mirth. Sam Jack's Creole Ccmpany.—Sam T. ‘| Jack's Original Creole Ccmpany will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. There never was, nor has there ever been, but one company of its kind, and that is Sam T. Jack's, which comes direct from hig own opera house, Chicago, traveling in its own $15,000 palace hotel car. Mr. Jack is the originator of the entire entertainment, in which these artists have scored success seascn after season. The entire organiza- tion, including the selection of artists, na- tive belles, costumes and scenery, has been fostered under his personal direction. At no time has he permitted it to get beyond his control, and as a result it stands today alone in its character, the only company of its kind in the world. This season Mr. Jack seems to have been peculiarly fortunate in securing new features, which he never fails to add, and not the least among these is his magnificent corps of Mastee maidens. “Black America."—An event that is look- ed forward to is the engagement in this city next week at Convention Hall of Sate Saisbury's “Black America.” There ar black men and women employed in the production, and the singing that is the result of their concerted efforts is some- thing wonderful. The scenes that are de- picted by the aggregation are those of the south before the war, and there are many features to please and amuse in this part of the production. The dancing, musical effects and above all the singing combine to make a picture of southern life “Refo’ de Wah” that has been seldom equaled in this city. ——— Eastern Presbyterian Church Concert The concert given under the auspices of the Ladies’ Ald Society of the Eastern Presbyterian Church last evening was a most enjoyable and successful affair. The large audience gave most emphatic evi- dence of their satisfaction. The artists who appeared were Mrs. Hattie Meades Smith, Mrs. Daisy Louise Fox, Misses Sal- lie Nicholson, Gertrude Dana and Eleonore Simonds, Messrs. Looy, Barnes, Mellis, Statham, Pearman, Asmursen, Gough and Cronin. ‘At the close of the concert a taste- ful floral tribute was presented to Mrs. John L. Shedd, in recognition of her un- tiring efforts for the success of the enter- ta'renent. Mrs. Shedd is the organist of the church, and assumed the role of accom- panist for the evening, being ably assisted by Messrs. Asmussen and Hart. Attention tc called to the assignee’s sale of the three-story brick dwelling, No: 412 L street northwest. Contains eight rooms and bath, and has stable. Sale tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. Also at 5 o'clock the two-story and basement brick dwelling, containing six rooms and bath, No. 23 Defrees street. See advertisement. . CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS The First Step Taked ‘Tsward Organization of Commmittecs, Commencing in Haracat the Work of Preparation fom the Big Conven- tion Here Next July. Christian Endeavarers are getting down to work in éarnest. :There lies before them rine months of vigerous activity in which to arrange for and‘womsplete the prepara- tions for the fifteenth international conven- tion, which is to be held here in July next. Most of the societies belonging to the union have only recently elected new officers for the coming season, and, as a rule, new eom- mittees have been appointed. In order to more taoroughly acquaint the members of the various committees with their respec- tive duties a series of committee confer- er.ces has been arranged for by the officers of the union, which will be held tomorrow evening at different down-town churches. Two such conferences have heretofore been held by the union, and the results have been very encouraging. It is the desire that all the members of various commit- tees in each of the local societies will be present at the conference of that commit- tee to which they belong and interchange ideas and give and receive suggestions as to the best methods of carrying out the work of that particular committee. Leaders of the Conferences. ‘The places of meeting and leaders of the several conferences are as follows: Prayer meeting committees, Calvary Baptist Sun- day school house, Miss Anna J. Bell, leader; Icokout committees, Calvary Baptist Sun- day school house, Miss Lizzie M. Warman; missionary committees, Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church, Miss Florence Shuffle; social committees, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Geo. R. Linkins; Sunday school committees, E Street Baptist Church, Irwin B. Linton; gecd citizenship committees, Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church, W. H. Pennell; good iiterature committees, First Congregational Church, Walter N. Weston; calling, relief and flower committees, Fourth Presby- terlan, Miss Emma E. Koehler; music com- mittees, Calvary Baptist Sunday school house, Charles S. Clark. First Step in Organization. Although the committee of 96 has been untiring in its activity in making prepara- tions for the work of arranging for the coming convention, so much of its labors has of necessity been of a preliminary character that it was not until today that the first tangible step toward organiza- tion of the various committees was taken. Today a circular was sent by the secretary of the committee to every society calling attention to the magnitude of the work before the committee, and the necessity of hearty and earnest co-operation on the part of each soclety. The president and officers of each soclety are requested to name members of their own organization to serve on the big committees and help in the work of preparation for the coming international meeting. It is estimated that fully 3,000 members will be needed on the committees. Blanks are sent with the circular to be filled in with the names of those persons whom the presidents and officers nominate for places on the com- mittees, and withim three weeks or a month the committee of '96 expects to be able to organize the:large committees and actively begin the work. ———— Justice Smith’s Sanity. Carroll M. Smith, +the Anacostia justice of the peace who was recently declared of unsound mind by # marshal’s jury, has been discharged by the authorities of St. Elizabeth's as cure@, and through his so- lcitors, Ralston & -Siddons, has filed a petition in the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict asking that his mental condition be inquired into. Thisés done that his sanity may be judicially determined and thus settle any doubt as to acts performed by him as a justice of the peace. es Lost: Hix Case, In February, 1890, Cerirad F. Arabin, em- ployed in the bakery of Frederick Stollman, lest his right arm by having it caught in a machine. It was claimed that he was endeavoring at the time to cleanse certain clothes used in the business, and he sued Mr. Stollman, claiming $15,000 damages. The case was tried before Judge McComas in Circuit Court No. 2, and after testimony for the plaintiff had been given, Judge Mc- Comas, on the motion of the defendant's } ecunsel, Mr. Job Barnard, directed a ver- dict for Mr. Stollman, on the ground that Arabin was guilty of contributory negli- gence, the machine not being intended for the purpose to which Arabin put it.

A frightful accident occurred shortly be- fore 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, by which @ five-year-old girl was maimed in a shock- ing manner and perhaps fatally injured. Clara Koehler is the name of the unfortu- nate little one, and she resided at 933 Florida avenue with her mother and stepfather. The latter, John F. Taiburg, is the keeper of @ grocery at the number mentioned. Clara, in company with a number of com- panions, had crowded about a street piano that was being operated near the corner of Florida avenue and W street, but in some manner she got in the way of a train drawn by motor car No. 9. According to witnesses, the little girl fell and the fender passed over her. A moment later she was under the wheels, and when the spectators rushed to the spot it was found that one leg had been severed just below the hip. Willing hands removed the sufferer to Garfield Hospital, near by, where surgical assistance was Stein : ie hospital today a Star reporter was informed by Dr. Biliott that the condition of the little girl was improved to a noticeable degree and that a chance of recovery exists. The conductor and motorman of the elec- tric train—A. T. Broadus and James Hamil- ton—were taken into custody to await a decision as to the responsibility for the acci- dent. The mother and other members of the family of the little girl were prostrated upon learning of the affair. ——.__ ENDED WITH A BANQUET. Liquor Men Conclude Their Conven- tion With an Enjoyable Feast. The convention of retail liquor sellers, which has been in session at the Ebbitt House since Monday, concluded its labors yesterday evening and adjourned to meet @ year hence in Cleveland.
