Collyer, a well-dressed white man, about forty years of age, committed sul- cide yesterday afternoon, about 6 o'clock, on board the Norfolk and Washington steamer while she was lying-at her wharf at the foot of 7th street, getting ready for her night’s run down the river. Collyer went on board a few minutes before 6 o'clock and engaged passage for Norfolk. He entered the state room assigned to him and locked the door. Shortly after the re- port of a pistol shot startled all those in hearing, and when the door was broken in by the officers of the boat Collyer was found lying dead, with a pistol bullet through his heart. Comparatively Little was known of the man in this city, but it was evident that he committed suicide while suffering from despondency. He had been in the city since last Monday, and was stopping at the Hotel Hanover, corner of 3d street and Pennsylvania avenue. He had beea drink- ing hard before he got here, and undoubt- edly continued his spree. A few days ago . it was necessary to call Dr. Hickling, as he was suffering from the effects of drink. ‘The physician managed to straighten him out, and Collyer expressed his determina- ticn to leave town last evening. He left the hotel yesterday afternoon at 5 o’cleck, having sent his trunk to the wharf, and made all his other arrangements for the journey. He walked leisurely down the avenue, and boarded a cable car to the steamer. The body was removed to a local undertaking establishment before the boat left, and an investigation was at once put on feot, which resulted in an identification of the man, although he had registered at the hotel as W. H. Coleman. He was a Mason and a member of several lodges in Michigan and California. He is supposed to have been from the latter state, although receipts among his papers showed that he had been forwarding money every week to Mrs, Hat- tie Collyer, Fife Lake; Mich. From letters and papers in his pockets it was learned that he had been in the employ of the Ne- varro lumber mills of San Francisco, as anager, for the last five years. Collyer had considerable money when he reached this city, but-before he got through it was all gone, and he was compelled to pawn a handsome diamond pin. Yesterday after- noon he saw Mr. L. R. Grim, the secretary of the Masonic board of relief, who advanced him sufficient money to settle up a few bills and to pay his way to Norfolk. The Masons will take charge of the body and of the ef- fects. 'The purser of the steamer says he was perfectly sober when he engaged the room. AMUSEMENTS. Allen's Grand Opera House.—Last night Miss Marie Wainwr'ght presented her charming interpretation of the part of Con- stance in Sheridan Knowles’ comedy of “The Love Chase” at Allen’s Grand Opera House to an audience of goodly propor- tions, and comprising some of the best people in the city.

Jef- on, Klaw & Erlanger’s dazzling spec- ilar production of “Palmer Cox's Brown- s.”” which comes intact from its great run of 150 nights to packed houses in New York, will be the notable attraction at the Lafay ette Square Opera House each night of next week, with matinees Wednesday and Satur- day.’ The gorgeous spectacle, ‘which has je a decided sensation wherever it has been presented, admits of the most magnifi- cent scenery, elaborate costumes and mar- velous electrical and mechanical effects. Among its scenes that are wonderful reve- lations of theatric art are the mysterious cave of Vulcan, the palace courtyard of Queen Titania in festal attire, the Brownies adrift in midocean, the shipwreck and res- cue of the Dude by the colossal sea bird, the country of Dragonfel, the magnificent palace that crumbles to ruins after the terrible earthquake and volcano, the jeweled mines of fabulous riches, and the fi nsforma- tion, “A Night in Brownieland,” showing the birth of the moonflower and the night- blooming cereus. This last scene is the rich- est and most elaborate ever seen on any Americ In the second act a num- ber of hig! beautiful women. Another a marvelous troupe of European acrobats, and there is also the laugh of the German band.

Among the specialties are the artistic song and dance, “The Wedding of the Lily and the Rese,” by Messrs. Leach, O'Connor, Jasper and McCarthy; Howard and Leigh, the weil- known contortionists; the famous Dixie Quartet, composed of Messrs. Cox, Orme, Sully and Tyler; Will Conley, in monologue, and others. The orchestra of sixteen pieces is under the direction of Mr. Ben. Judson. Mr. William H. Lepley, the secretary of the minstrels, is untiring in his efforts to insure the success of the performance. The char- ity for which the performance Is given is a worthy one. Mr. Chas. B. Hanford.—Charles B. Han- ford, Elihu R. Spencer and Nora O’Brien, tegether with a company of uncommon ex- cellence, will present several standard plays in the Academy of Music week after nex’ The plays are “The Merchant of Venice. “Romeo and Juliet,” “Julius Caesar, “Othello,” “Damon and Pythias,” “Virgin- ius” and “The Hunchback.” Elsewhere this season this confederacy of dramatic trained talent has delighted uniformly large audi- ences. Mr. Hanford, a Washingtonian, is regarded as one of the foremost teagic act- ors. His art has ripened since he played lest in Washington, and, if anything, his personal magnetism has increased. Mr. Spencer is an actor of rare accomplishments, and Miss O'Brien, a Baltimore girl, is young, talented and pretty enough to please a con- rolsseur in beauty. The supporting com- pany is competent, and special scenery is carried for eich of the seven plays. Carroll Institute Dramatic Club.—The Car- roll Institute Dramatic Club, the well-known amateur organization of this city, will in- augurate its third season next Wednesday evening at Carroll Institute with a carefully prepared rendition of Robertson’s three-act comedy, “Home,” under the direction of Mr. Percy Winter, with the following cast: Al- fred Dorrison, alias Col.

McCarthy; Mrs. Pinchbeck, Miss Anita Hendrie; Lucy Dorrison, Miss Nora Cocker: Dora Thorn- haugh, Miss Teresa J. Machen. The good work done by the club last winter is a guar- antee of an excellent performance of this charming play. Typographical Hall.—The entertainment to be given by U. S. Grant Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R., next Tuesday evening at Ty- Pographical Temple promises to be one of unusual interest, including a literary and musical program, refreshments and dancing. Good talent has been secured. The object is a worthy one, as the proceeds will be de- voted to the relief fund, and it is expected that all comrades will liberally respond. Calvary Baptist Church.—Next Saturday evening, November 16, there will be given in Calvary Baptist Church, corner of 8th and H streets, what promises to be one of the finest organ recitals and concerts heard in the city for years. The auditorium of the church has recently been greatly improved, and a new organ, which is pronounced by experts to be very fine, has just been com- pleted and placed in the church. The new room, with its elegant settings, will be open- ed to the public next Saturday evening,when organists and singers of established reputa- tion will appear on the program. Mr. J. Frank Donohoe, organist of the Cathedral of Holy Cross In Boston, will play five num- bers. Mr. Donohoe has never yet been heard in Washington, but he comes with the repu- tation of being one of the finest organists in the country. Mr. Wm. H. Rieger is one of the greatest of tenors on the concert plat- form, and has already been heard in this city.’ Mr. Frank Gebest, the new organist at Calvary Church, recently came from Berlin, and much is expected from him in his organ number on the program. Mrs. Shir-Cliff is so well known in Wash- ington musical circles that nothing need be said of her singing. Much the same may be said of Mr, William D. Hoover, the fine ba so in St. Thomas’ Church choir, who will sing 2 solo, and in a duo with Mrs. Shir-Cliff. Miss Cluss, the popular harpist, will play one number, with organ accompaniment. ‘The tickets for the concert are selling rapid- ly, and there is prospect of a very large au- dience.

The first of a series of lectures by Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, the pastor of the Western Presbyterian Church, was given last evening at that church before an appre- clative audience. “Lights and Shadows of the Metropolis” was the subject discoursed upon by the lecturer, and he held the inter- est of his hearers from start to finish. Sev- eral hundred beautiful stereopticon views added much to the success of the lecture. Beginning at Battery Park, Rev. Mr. Ennis described Castle Garden and scenes along the river front, the parks, the wharves and shipping, and then branched off to the prom- inent men of New York city, speaking, among others, of Dr. Parkhurst, Mayor Strong and Recorder Goff. The Bowery was rot overlooked, and a visit to a Pell street opium joint was also recounted. Rev. Mr. Ennis ts to give three more lec- tures as follows: November 13, “In the Wak of the Half Moon on the American Rhini November 19, “Albany, Saratoga and Lake George,” and November 27, “Lake Cham- plain, Adirondack Wilderness and Au Sable Chasm.” —————— Johnson's Cyclopaedia, Now nearing comp! hence the latest.

Droop Talks ‘About the Progress of the @rgabization. The Need of Iti-Bejt Here and the Work Perfome@ by Mr. Rakemann in Collecting tye Musicians. "Your people have always been so kind to the musicians of Washington,” said Mr. E. H. Droop to a Star reporter, “that I am thankful for the goo@ words that have been said in regard to the Washington Symphony Orchestra, although I confess it is no more than what I expected. The | organization of-such an orchestra is in the line of progress-that Washington has been making in musical art. Those who attend the concerts have no idea of the great amount of laber which has been necessary to place the Choral Society, the George- town Orchestra and other organizations on the footing which they enjoy. The choral in former years had piano accompaniment; today this is inadequate. Mr. Herman Rakemann,former conductor of the George- town, steps forward as leader of the Choral Society Orchestra—think of it, our own orchestra, supporting our own choral society, and both led by competent men. Rakemann is a musician and business man, and this combination is rarely found in one person. He proposes to found a perma- nent symphony orchestra, composed of pro- fessional’ musicians of Washington. His proposition is based upon the wishes of lovers of the divine art, who for years have exoressed a desire that we have our own symphony orchestra, that like New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore we might have our own organization of professional men, who would give us five or six concerts during the season, playing only the finest compositions of the old and mod- ern masters. This, if accomplished, will prove of inestimable value to us, as the Symphony Orchestra, by receiving proper encouragement, will be enabled to put the price for its concerts to a minimum, and thus enable every one devoted to or fond of music to attend. So many who would now hear other great organizations, which visit us during the winter, cannot do so, as their means will not allow or permit them. The proposition is a noble one, as it is in the interest of musical humanity. My friend Rakemann spread his plans before me and after mature consideration I was more than ever convinced that It could be done, and there was only one way in which to accomplish {t, namely, to ap- peal to our musical friends, asking them to help us to found a guarantee fund in or- der that we might have a solid footing to work upcn. I've sent out over a thousand personal applications for assistance, but the result has not been satisfactory. We are going to do this thing with a ‘late in the nineteenth century idea.’ Yes, the greatest number of our men will be taken from among our midst. People haven't any idea what a great coterie of fine players exists in Washington; all they need is training under @ skilled hand, and if you combine with experience youthful enthus- iasm, coupled with mature thought, why, the result canaot be otherwise than good. “In the first place, we need $750 to begin operations with. We intend giving our first concert in Metzerott Hall. About $500 has already been subscribed, and should the en- terprise prove a permanent affair the names of those who have go generously aided us will be handed down to posterity as the founders and backers ef the Washington Symphony Orchestra. It makes me weary to note that so marty of the people who in years past have been:the hardest kickers for a local orchestra should now be making all manner of excuses because I've called on them for a subscription. “We are already $n correspondence with some of the leadingisoloists of the country, and shall endeavor to preseat a novelty in the way of an artist at)each concert. Our programs will be carefully arranged and cal- culated to p everybody. Here's a sam- ple for the first concert: “Merry Wives of Windsor overture or WIl- Nam Tell overture; Grand Aria for either bass, tenor or soprano; Chopin's E minor or Grieg A minor; eoncerto, by a remark- able pianist and pupil of Moszko' thoven or Mozart or Schubert Yoeal number: lections from Han dink’s new opera.” Mr. Droop has received subseriptions and letters containing encouraging expressions in regard to this enterprise from a large number of people prominent in social and business as well as musical circles, many whom may be named: C Baum, Wm. B. King, Mrs. Stilson Hutchins, Dr. R burn, Miss Mary Helen Carroll, Beriah Wil- kins, Geo. C. Graham, J. W. Lowndes, Requard Schroeder, Miss Lucy M. Folger, G. W. McLanahan, E. M. Riker, S, TI.

After a trial lasting more than a week, the jury in the Young will case this morn- ing returned a verdict sustaining the will. The will in controversy was that of the late James E. Young, who died on the 19th of October, 1892, his will having been made eighteen days earlier. The beneficiaries under the will were-John M. Young and ‘Wm. A. Young, brothers of the testator, and Margaret L. Gaddis, a sister. The de- ceased was an eccentric person, and for }fome time previous to his death lived across the river in Virginia. The will was contested by Thomas E. Young, a brother, who was not remembered in the will. He alleged that the testator was not at the time of the making of the will of sound and disposing mind, and not capable of ex- ecuting a valld deed or contract. He also claimed that the will was executed under the undue influence of the importunities, suggestions and persuasions of John M. Young, Wm. A. Young or Margaret L. Gaddis, or of some other person or per- sons. And it was further charged by the caveator that the will was procured by the fraud and artifice of either of the said par- tles or of one or more of them. The jury retired a few minutes before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and reached a conclusion some time after midnight, finding that the allegations of the caveator had not been sustained. The amount in- volved is estimated to be worth about $50,000, and it is understood that the case will be carried to the Court of Appeals. John M.
