Wholerale Grocer Patrick Sheehy, whose store is at No. 2030 7th street northwest, has been the victim of a systematic rob- bery, carried on by trusted employes, and he now understands why it {s that his profits have shown so much of a decrease. Edward Anderson, who was arrested sev- eral weeks ago on a charge of wholesale embezzlement, made a statement implicat- ing Malcolm Brenner, one of the drivers. Saturday night Brenner was arrested and he admitied his guilt and made a state- ment implicating Anderson. It developed during the investigation of the case that the plunder had been sold to the keeper of a small store, who sold the goods at retail cheaper than Mr. Sheehy’ gold them at wholesale. Today Brenner was taken into the Police Court and Judge Miller remanded him for further investigation. _——— The Y. M. C. A. Anniversary. Wednesday evening next at the Foundry M. E.

At the time he was engaged in lighting the lamps of an outgoing train. He loosened the reservoir of one of the lamps and] at the same time lighted a match. An explosion followed, and McIn- tosh was immediately enveloped in flame. Fellow employes rushed to his assistance and extinguished the blaze ky wrapping the unfortunate man in clothing.

The Drowning in the Jnmes Creek Cai Think There Was Foul Play. — Members of the Family The dead body of Mrs. Nettie May Cum- mins, an attractive’ woman, twenty-six years of age, was dragged from the foul waters of the James Creek canal, directly beneath the K street bridge, about 1:0 yesterday morning. Whether Mrs. Cum- mins’ death was the result of murder, sui- cide or accident Coroner Hammett will en- deavor to »scertain at an inquest to be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the fourth precinct police station. Mrs. Cummins was the divorced wife of Charles F. Cummins, a clerk in the sixth auditor’s office, and was the daughter of James G. Thompson, a well-known carpen- ter of South Washington. She married Cummins six years ago, but secured a di- vorce at the end of three years, and since that time had been living with her parents, 4 L street southeast. The last person who saw Mrs. Cummins alive was Herman J. Martin, a printer, whose office is at 407 7th street northwest, but who resides at 702 T street northwest. For the past seven months Martin hes been very attentive to Mrs. Cummins, and he often expressed himself as intending to make her his wife. According to the fam- ily of the deceased, about 6 o'clock Satur- -day Mrs. Cummins announced to her moth- er and two sisters that she was going to the theater that evening with Martin. She left the house, the family thought, to go to the theater, but the next time they saw her she was dead. Went for a Walk. According to the story told the police by Martin, he went out with Mrs. Cummins for a walk. Several saloons were visited and a quantity of beer imbibed. Shortly before 12 o’clock the couple left Dugan's saloon, at Ist and K streets southwest, and were walking in the direction of Mrs. Cum- mins’ home. As they were crossing the K street bridge, so Martin says, his compan- fon requested that she have one more drink of beer. Martin replied that he would hurry back to Dugan’s after a bot- tle. He had almost reached the door of the saloon when he heard Mrs. Cummins call out, “Good-bye, Herman.” Turning back, Martin says, he saw the woman jump into the canal. He saw he could not save her without assistance, so he ran to her home. On reaching the house Martin aroused the family with the startling announce- ment, “Nettle is overboard.” Accompanied by the father of the girl and a boarder named Cobb, Martin hastened back to -the bridge, and arrived in time to see the dead body carried up the bank by the police. What Was Heard at the Saloon. John D. Dugan, the proprietor of the sa- loon at Ist and K stre southwest, states that shortly after midnight he heard queer sounds coming from the direction of the tridge. The sounds were aiso heard by his Larkeeper, and it seemed to them as though they were uttered by some one in agony. Dugan and the bartender hurried to the bridge and found Martin there alone in the middle of the span. He excitedly informed them that Nettie Cummins had fallen over- board. Dugan leaned over the rail and saw the body in the water. The bartender went in search of the police, and soon returned with several officers. Martin then departed for the house of the parents of the girl. The body was taken to the house, and when it was carried into the parlor Mrs. Thompson, the aged mother of the deceased, was overcome with grief. Members of the Family Suspicious. It was said that a bag of fruit, crushed as though in a scuffle, was found on the bridge. There was a slight scratch over the woman's right eye. Mr. Spindler, the undertaker who prepared the body for burial, told a Star reporter that-he discovered no marks of violence upon it. The family of the dead womafi are quoted as not believing the sui- elde or accident theory, and her brother, William Thompson, says: “I know that Net- tle didn’t kill herself, and I firmly believe that she didn’t fall into the canal by acci- dent. Her death is a mystery I can’t ex- plain.” Mr. Thompson expressed himself to the effect that his sister was not in the habit of drinking, and that he did not think many men would leave a young woman alone on a bridge in the middle of the night while he went off to a saloon. Since telling his story to the police Mar- tin has refused to say anything regarding the affair, acting, he says, on the advice of his attorney, Mr. T. K. de Graffenried. How- ever, he 5 3 said to have told Mrs. Thompson that he had taken Mrs. Cummins to the theater, and returning home on an electric car he asked her when she would marry him, as promised. She replied that she could not be his wife, but would always be a good friend to him. Then he repeated the story about going back to Dugan's after beer and leaving her on the bridge. No Motive for Suicide. The family declare that Mrs. Cummins had no known. motive for ending her life. In contradiction of this idea they state that she had made an engagement to meet her sister, Mrs. Bessie Hodges, Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The deceased had earned a good reputation as a dressmaker. Martin was not placed under arrest. As stated, an in- quest will be held this afternoon. The funeral is to be held tomorrow afternoon. ——_— SURGEONS TO MEET. Large Namber of Them Expected at the Shoreham Tomorrow.

Boston Symphony Orochestra.—iInterest in the Boston Symphony concerts, which are to be given in this city during the winter season, has never been so high as it is this year. The advance sale of season tickets has been greater than ever before, and the general interest taken in the whole series has been much more than ever before in the history of the orchestra’s appearance in Washington. The first concert will take place at Metzerott’s Music Hall Thursday evening, November 14. The program is an excellent one in the instrumental numbers, while Mr. G. Campanari, the eminent bari- tone, has ample opportunity to show his powers in the two selections for which he is billed. The first numoer will be Beeth- oven’s “Eroica” symphony, in E fiat ma- jor. It consists, of four movements, and will be given in its entirety. The two bean- tiful numbers for strings, the Minuet of the Will-o'-the-W'sns and the Waltz of the Sylphs, from fBerlioz’s “Damnation of Faust,” will also be given, together wa Wagner's ‘Ihe Emperor's March,"’ in flat major. The program is well eeieuiatea | to show the strength of the orchestra i all its parts, and will be a delightful renili- tion of some of the most beauttful music ever written. Campanari will sing the monologue from Verdi’s ‘Falstaff’. and the prologue to Leoncavallo’s “I Pagliacci.” Mr. Campanari needs no words of recom- mendation to a Washington audience, as he has already scored a success in this city with Hinrich. The sale of single con- cert seats commenced today at Metzerott’s. Minstrels Play for Charity.—The per- fcrmance of the Carroll Institute Min- strels, given Saturday evening at the La- fayette Square Opera House for the benefit of the Foundling Hospital, was one of the most notable amateur events in that line that has taken place in this city. The house was an excellent one in point of size, and was fully alive to the good points of the songs and the jokes. ‘The first part had an excepticnally pretty setting and evoked applause on the rising of the ciirtain. The songs were rendered in the first part by Messrs. Geo. Cox, Geo. O'Connor, L._ E. Kaiser, Percy Leach, Wm. Cullison, Phil Baer, Elmo Jasper and J. J. Fisher, the well-known baritone. The ends were work- ed by Perey Leach, Wm. Cullison, Elmo Jasper and Geo. O'Connor, while Phil Paer acted as interlocutor, The second or spe- clalty part of the perfermance opened with Howard and Leigh in their novel and fun- ny contortion act. They divided the hon- ors of the second part with the artistic ren- dition of the “Wedding of the Lily and the Rose,” given by Messrs. Leach, O'Connor, McCarthy and Jasper. The Dixie Quartet, consisting of Messrs. Sully, Cox, Orme and Tyler, sang, and Master Arthur Plant gave an exhibition of club swinging. Wm. Con- ley made a stump speech and sang “I Don’t Want to Play in Your Yard,” gain- ing an encore for the latter. Messrs. Jud- son and Murray closed the olio with a mandolin and guitar duct. The entertain- ment ended with a black-face sketch, entl- tled “The Whirr of Wheels,” the partict- pants being Messrs. L. Sully, Phil Baer, Geo. O'Connor, W. 8. McCarthy, Percy Leach and Will Cullison. O'Connor and McCarthy were especially good, and kept the audierce in a roar during their act to- gether. The Carroll Institute Orchestra did much to enhance the enjoyment of the performance and executed the accompani- ments to the songs In an admirable man- per. Mr. Perey Leach was an efficient stage manager. U. S. Grant Circle.--The U. 8. Grant Circle, ladies of the G. A. R., will give an entertainment at ‘Typographical Temple, G street between 4th and 5th streets nort west, tomorrow evening at § o'clock.

The club is situated at 606 11th street north- west, and the rooms will be open ‘lay and evening. The exhibition will be of a most interesting character, while the articles offered for sale will be of all descriptions. The admission is 25 cents. Close of the Corcoran Cadets’ Fete.—The military fete of the Corcoran Cadet Corps closed Saturday evening after a very suc- cessful run of two weeks The friends of the company were out in full force, and the wind-up was a fitting one. During the evening Miss Fanny Edwards executed a butterfly dance, which was greeted with applause. An auction of all the articles re- maining cn hand followed. The competi- tive squad drill held Thursday evening was won by the Morton Cadets, with a percent- age of 97.6. The National Rifles, the only other competitor, made 7t.4. The individ- ual competitive drill Friday evening was won by Private Howard Vermillion of the National Rifles. ———_-—_ FAMILY TROUBLES. Two Husbands Who A ulted Their & Respective Wives. ‘There were two cases of assaults on wo- men tried in the Police Court, and convic- tions were had in both cases today. George and Annie Keese, colored, figured in one case, and the assault was the result of jealousy. Five months ago they were mar- ried. George says he works and supports his wife, but this the latter denied, and said she had been supporting h If. Annie told the judge a long story of the conduct of her husband, telling of the bad language he used and also of how he had struck, slapped and choked her. She gave no reason for the assault, but George said that the trouble was about arother man. i ‘Who is this man?” the judge asked An- nie. “I don’t know his name,” she ans-vered, “but he’s a carpenter, sent there to see if any repairs were needed to the house, and I took him upstairs.” “Judge,” added the husband, “you know @ man can’t tell anything about repairing a house at 9 o'clock at night.” “Tt wasn’t 9 o'clock,” interrupted Annie. “It was only 8.” George sald that he did not allow any other man in his sleeping room. He admit- ted that they quarreled, but denied that he assaulted hei He was fined John Stevenson and Nancy, colored, fig- ured in the next ca: “We ain’t married,” John ‘old the judge, “but we's jes as good as married.” These people live on_13% street, and are continually fighting. Saturday night both of them were under the influence of Hquor and John sent Nar out to get some liquor for Sunday. She got 10 cents’ worth of the “Division” logwood juice and red pepper and then refused to give him a drinx of it until Sunday. Following her refusal to give him some of the liquver flat trons, clubs and a coal oil lemp were used, and the lamp so badly dumaged the woman's head that hospital treatment was necessary. John was given 120 days, and the Judge sald that the woman needed watching, for he thought it was a case of six of one and half dozen of the ees THCOCHSOVH OTOH ES Before you decide to buy a medicine that the large majority of all the diseases which aMict mankind crig- inate in or are promoted by impure or impoverished blood.

The annual chrysanthemum show of J. H. Small & Sons opened at their handsome ware rooms, corner of 14th and G streets northwest, this morning, and all day crowds have thronged the place to gaze upon the beauty there displayed» The Jap- anese flower was never seen in greater va- riety, in larger development or to better advantage, so far as grouping is concerned. Beside the well-known varieties there were several new ones, among which may be mentioned tpe Philadelphia, white; Maj. Benoffon, yellow; Silver Cloud, cream white; Olympus, pink; Robb McInnes, bronze; Louis D., black, and H. L. Sunder- brich, yellow, and the May Flower, a mas- sive white blossom at least twelve inches in diameter. There are also flowers of every kind—orcnids, roses, carnations and every variety of ftoral beauty in pots or nestling amidst delicate ferns or between vines and bark so natural as to léok like real branch- es of a tree. While all these flowers are beautiful in themselves, the artistic taste displayed in their arrangement adds to their attractive- ness. In fact, it is the happy combination of color, the employment of colored electric lights, the building of arches and medal- lions of vines and bark, that makes this exhibit seem like a glimpse of fairyland. The big window on 14th street, with its floor of maiden hair fern, and its groups of chrysanthemums and its background of eatleya and dendrobium orchids, is thor- oughly artistic in design, and the tall palms that are‘placed at intervals down the room, and the LExyptian baskets suspended against the north wall with broad bands of ribbons, and filled with the blossoms of the season, add to the attractiveness of the general effect. The originality and re- sources of this firm in floral architecture amounts almost to genius. The Smalls have a branch office in New York, and those who go over this week to attend the horse show, if they step into the Hotel Waldorf, will have an opportun- ity of seeing the artistic work of this firm in the mass of chrysanthemums that will be placed on the lower floor. The exhibit here will continue all the week. CITY ITEMS. Lots of Delicacies Here you won't find at other stands.
