Workingmen's Club, Church Matters and Other Interesting Notes From Across Rock Creek. John Francis Dorsey, colored, yesterday went on a gunning excursion through the country beyond the District line, on the nerth, accompanied by two young white ren, Harry Mockabee and Lloyd Hazel. Near 11 o'clock last night Dorsey's dead becdy “was brought back to town, with a gieat shot-torn hole visible on the inside of the right leg. Throvgh the excessively large quantity of blood that had gushed forth there, death came. Dorsey bied to death through a gunshot wound received accidentally. He was walking down the road, with his companions behind him, when in a careless movement the breech- lcading gun which he carried over his shoulder became uncoupled. The barrels fell, and, the cap striking a stone, set off the charge. The contents tore a deep pethway upward through the gunner’s in- ner right leg, severing an artery. He fell in a moment, and Mockabee and Hazel rushed up. Blood was then gushing rorth ina full stream. There was no doctor rear, and immediate relief could not be rendered. One was sent for, though, at a distance. Dorsey, in his frightful condition, lay on the roadside, with his life blood staining more and more of the earth around him. Several people, who had by this time come upon the scene, attempted to stay the flow, t their efforts were unavailing. he man literally bled to death, his weakening condition becoming more and more apparent. Those about him were ter- ribly distressed. They saw his life blood gushing forth and were yet powerless to help the man. From the time he fell until the loss of blocd breught on the end Dor- sey spok2 but once. Rolling his eyes heav- ily toward his ccmpanions he said, in a weak voice: “I am shot.” When the doc- tcr who had been sent for arrived the end had come. The man lay dead where he had fallen, his clothes wet with his own blood, The body was brought down to the Dis- trict line in a country wagon. Before it could be brought into the District and to the dead man’s home, 2022 35th street, formalities had to be @ntered into. Finally the lieutenant of the seventh precinct was authorized late at night to issue a special permit allowing the hody to be brought in. Jokn Frances Dorsey was one of the most industrious of colored citizens. He was the enemy cf all offenders, and fre- quently rendered valuable assistance to the police. He has served often as special policeman. Yesterday is sa'd to have been his first holidey in severé1 years. Workingmen’s Club. The Workingmen’s Club was opened for the season last evening at 1440 32d street. It will b> open each evening from 7 to 10 o'clock The club will be, as heretofore, under the direction of the chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew connected with St. John’s Church, Georgetown. The or- ganization formerly had ite headquarters over the old market house. It is designed to furnish healthy physical and mental recreation to workingmen. The new rooms are bright and conveniertly located, and promise to be taken advantage of by many. The records of the club show it to have had a flattering career. Those under whose auspices it is conducted are enthusiastic over its success, and are constantly intro- ducing new diversions. Church Ma‘ters, The meetings at the Tenleytown Baptist Church, which have been in progress for nearly five months, continue te arouse deep interest. Last night addresses were made to the unsaved by the pastor, Mr. Gantt, Mr. Gilkey, Mr. Samuel Hurley, Mr. Ager, Mrs. McCullough and others. There was one conversion. ‘The singing at the meetings is very spirited. Mr. Gantt leads it. A good program will be presented at the church the Friday after Christmas, on the occasion of the Sunday school’s annual festival. Mrs. McCullough is at present el in coaching the children in dia- logues, recitations and songs for the oc- casion. tes. Sergt. Geo. Hess has been incapacitated for duty through an accident amounting to a twisting of the muscles of the leg. Mrs. Annie G. Hume of 3319 P street, widow of Thomas L. Hume, died last night at her home, after a long illness. She was the daughter of Adolphus Pickrell, in lize a promineat business man here. Mrs. Hume leaves six children, five sons and a Jaugh- ter. Her funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. —_—— MORE SENT DOWN. Tramps Find This City Not a Pleas- mt Place. John ‘Sullivan and Edmond Desmond, young men who make their home in sec- tions where the climate suits them best, came here a year ago and lived most of the winter spending their nights in police stations and charitable institutions. They managed to live through the winter with- out getting arrested, and they fared so well that they thought they would return and repeat the experience. Two days ago they reached here, but last night they ran across the wrong policeman, and now they are in the lockup. Policeman O’Dea was the officer,and when he was made acquainted with the facts he placed them under arrest. Last night was spent in the police station by the two young men, who have spent many nighis in plaves not near so comfortable, and this the Police Court they were given some hot coffee and rolls, and when they faced the judge, they answered “guii- “ine cfficer related the circumstances of the arrest, and the young men had noth- e sent down for fifteen days. was the charge against a young man named Glenn Taylor, but it was not charged that he belongs to the tramp kind. “He has been hanging about a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue,” said Policeman Newkirk, “and I've warned him that if he did not stop keeping such company, I would arrest him.” “Was he begging?’ Judge Kimball asked. “No, sir,” responded the officer. “Fifteen day: Under the vagrancy law Charles Hess was charged with liquor drinking and beg- ng. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” asked the clerk. “I'm guilty.” “This man was on 7th street yesterday,” Policeman Hodges told the court. “He was drunk and begging, and said he belonged in Georgetown.”” “Bonds, or thirty days.” A colored boy named Robert Posey was in the toils as a suspicious person because it was alleged he made an effort to break into William Blackney’s blacksmith shop. The proof against the boy was insufficient. ———— The Choral Society's Rehearsal. One of the pleasant features of the regu- lar weekly rehearsal of the Choral Society was the presence in the chorus of Eugene E. Stevens, the popular ex-secretary of the scciety and chairman of the finance com- mittee and for several years a member of the board of directors. About a year ago Mr. Stevens severed his active connection with the society because of his removal to Cleveland. He 1s in Washington for the holidays. He was enthusiastically greeted when he was called upon by the president for a few words, and after the rehearsal he was tendered a cordial reception by his old associates. ee Through the Ice. Sunday afternoon two deaths in the wa- ter of Accotink creek were the result of skating on the thin ice. George Tyler, who was nineteen years old, broke through the ice and disapneared, and his brother Ed- ward, thirty-five years old, who attempted to rescue him, was also drowned. He leayes a wife and two children, Both bodies were recovered soon after the sad accident and taken to the home of their parents, near Accotink, from where their funeral took place today. thinness The diseases of thinness are scrofula in children, consumption in grown people, poverty of blood in either. They thrive on leanness. Fat is the best means of overcoming them. Everybody knows cod-liver oil makes the healthiest fat.
