Residence, New York ave. and gtb si Sixty-Fourth Anniversary of the Oon- gressional Temperance Society. Stirring Speeches by Well-Known Men—Ex-Congressman Taylor and the Commissioners. The venerable Congressional ,Temperance Society celebrated its sizty-fourth anniver- sary at the Metropolitan M. E. Church last night. A large audience, embracing many distinguished people interested In the cause of temperance, was present. Dr. Hugh Jchnson opened the exercises with religious services and a brief address. He sald the whole question of temperance in this coun- try would soon be settled If every member of Congress were to join the society. Con- gressman Dingiey, president of the society, made a short speech on the purpose of the organization, and introduced Rey. F. D. Power, the secretary, who read his annual report, which reviewed the progress of tem- perance in Congress and at the Capitol, ard dwelt on the widening interest and ef- fort in behalf of abstinent habits and clean speech and thought. Among the societies mentioned were the Sons of Temperance, rumbering 2, Good Templars, : Templars of Honor and Tempera 000; Catholic Total Abstinence Union, the Woman's Christian. Temperance ; the Christian Endeavor, the veague and kindred societies of Menticn was also made of Epworth over 4,000,000, the work of the Anti-Saloon League. In regard to control of the sale of liquor in Washingtcn Mr. Power said: “No more liquor will be sold in the Division. Bawdy heuses and lowest dives under the very eaves of the Executive Mansion, selling the vilest liquor to the most depraved classes of humanity, scores of dens within shot of the President's ducking gun, where night is made hideous with the orgies of the damned, have been a stench in the nostrils of the people long enough; and high-toned clubs, whose work, however elegant, 1s no more wholesome, are to be restricted." Th2 report closed by quoting 2 President's last Thanksgiving procla- mation, which Mr. Power commended for its encouraging utterance in the line of temperance reform. Congressman Dingley of Maine and John- gon of North Dakota made brief addresses, the former urging a campaign of education, the latter telling of the effect of prohibition lawe in his state. Bishop Newman, who was !n the audi- ence, was called on for a speech, and made ore. He said he was a republican, and he expected ere long the party would be sing- ing the psalm, ‘The Lord Reigneth and Reigneth Forever More.” He wanted the republican party to put In its platform the plank: ‘‘We, the republican party of the United States of America, are prepared to stand by prohibition whenever the Ameri- can people shall demand the same.” Ex-Congressman Pelham of Maine spoke on the liquor law of Maine and how it had worked, and ex-Congressman Taylor of Ohio gave his ideas on a practical liquor law. He wanted liquor manufacturers and dealers made responsible for the evils they cause, just as corporations and contractors are for accidents or deaths by criminal negligence. He suggested the appointment of a commission of three good men to de- termine the expense the city of Washing- ten was put to by the saloons, with the view of making the saloons pay their share. “But,” he said; “we want to get three good Commissioners, I wouldn’t take the three we have now; I would have re- spectable men.”” President Dingley closed the meeting with a few remarks on the practical opera- tion of the prohibition law in Maine. He said the revenue license, issued by the United States authorities was regarded as prima facie evidence of the sale of liquor, and by means of it the local authorities knew where to look for violations of the state law. With prayer by Rev. Dr. Brown and the singing of the doxology, the meeting was dismissed. . — Changed Tactics. ‘When Mrs. Lizzie Kregsin, the 4% street second-hand dealer, was fined $25 in the Police Court last week for receiving stolen goods, her husband, who was in New York, came here and paid her fine. There was a charge of doing business without a license against the husbani, and he has now paid the license tax. Last Friday, when a col- ored boy named Richard Campbell went to their store to sell a pair of stolen trousers, Mrs. Kressin sent for the police instead of making the purchase. The boy was ar- rested by Policeman Henry, and was sen- tenced to thirty days in jail by Judge Mil- —_——__ He is Better. F Detective Michael Gorman, one of the oldest members of the detective corps, who has been confined to his home for several days by reason of illness, Is convalescing. tion, one was fatally hurt by jumping from a window and five others were fnore or less injured by a fire in the residence of James R. Armiger, a prominent jeweler, at 1906 Charles street, Baltimore, yesterday morn- ing. The dead are: Jafhes R. Armiger, aged fifty-five. Wiiliam B. Riley, his son-in-law, thirty-six. Richard Riley, son of W. B. Riley, aged feur. Marian Riley, daughter of W. B. Riley, aged two and one-half. Mrs. Marian Champlin, daughter of Jas. R. Armezer, aged thirty. = James Cnamplin, her son, aged three. Horace B. Manuel, aged fifty-six, New York city, a guest. Fatally injured: Alice Williams, colored, servant, skull fractured, and other serious injuries. Injured: Mrs. William B. Riley, burned about face and arms and suffering from inhalation of smoke; will recover. Mrs. James. R. Armiger, aged fifty, slight burns and suffering from shock and ex- posure. Miss Eleanor Armiger, slightly burned. Miss Virginia Armiger, aged twenty-five, ankle slightly sprained in jumping. Ida Whiting, colored, servant, slightly burned and suffering from inhalation of smoke; will recover. Seene of the Tragedy. Exterforly handsome and imposing, the house in which the tragedy occurred is one of a row of granite-front residences be- longing to the A. S. Abell estate, on Charles street, just north of Lafayette avenue. It is four stories in height, and at the time of the fire was filled with costly furniture and much rare bric-a-brac, plate and unique jewelry, of which Mr. Armiger was an enthusiastic collector. In the house were jvst thirteen persons. Of these ten were members of the Armiger household, two were servants and the other, Mr. Man- uel, was a guest who has been visiting the Armiger family for the past two or three days. It was his purpose to have returned to his home in New York last Saturday night, but Mr, Armiger prevailed upon him t> remain until today. All ot these people were in their bed rooms, on the upper floors, some of them being partially dressed, when, at §:15 o'clock yesterday morning, fire was dis- eevered issuing from a partition in the cellar. It had ignited from an overheated furnace five, and was first seen by Louis Whiting, the colored man-of-ali-work, who was at the time cleaning the front steps. Whiting ran to the adjacent corner and gave the alarm to a policeman, and hurried back to the house, entered the front door, closed it behind him, and ascended to the second floor, where Mr. and Mrs. Armiger had their bed room. Thick clouds of smoke had by this time filled the house, and when the colcred man and Mrs. Armiger attempted to descend they found it, impossible. Whiting aided Mrs. Armiger to the front window and helped her to reach a sma!l balcony in front, upon which ire placed her, and re- turned to the aid of Mr. Armiger. He found the latter had yoae, and came back to Mrs. who, clad in nothing s, was shivering on the narrow balcony and shrieking in agonized tones for help. Half a dozea men who were passing hastened to the power house of the Charles styeet cable car line, a block be- low, and produce] a short ladder, Arrival of Help. Help came in good time, for when they returned they found Fire Chief McAfee, a noted life saver, who quickly mounted the ladder. It was not long enough, but, by standing on the uppermast round, he could reach the frightened woman. Lifting her from the balcony, her scanty clothing caught cn an obstruction; she fell forward with her whole weight upon the out- stretched arm of the fireman. Just then the ladder slipped, end every one expected to see both the rescuer and the womar he was trying to save dashed to death on the pavement below. By a tremendous effort, however, McAfee steadied himself, and, holding Mrs. Armiger with one hand, grasped the balcony with the other. Hang- ing thus, he slowly replaced the ladder with his feet, and brought the now fainting wo- man down in safety. Cheering Bravery. Yells and cheers greeted his noble efforts. In the meantime the other inmates of the front rooms were crowding to the window: making the most piteous appeals for help. Cries from the people below warned them not to jump, but Alice Williams disregard- ed their warnings, and with an appalling shriek sprang from the fourth-story win- dow, struck the stone steps full upon her forehead, fracturing her skull and sustain- ing fatal injuries. An attempt was made to succor the other unfortunates by means of the doorway on Charles street, but when the policemen burst it In they were met by a volume of smoke and flame and were driven back. Scared and almost panic-stricken were Eleanor and Virginia, unmarried daughters of Mr. Armiger, in a rear room on the sec- ond floor. They were partially dressed, but so rapid was the spread of the flames that they had no time to escape by the stairway. Standing at the rear window they cried wildly for help. A neighbor came to their 1d, and under his _ccol-headed directions Miss Virginia lowered her younger sister with a. sheet, and throwing a mattress out of the win- dow, leaped to the yard below. She alight- ed in safety, and beyond the shock and a slight injury to her ankle, escaped unhurt. By this time the firemen had reached the scene, and in a twinkling had reared long ladders up to the windows, both front and rear. aged of aged fourteen, Corpses Clasped Corpses. MAny swarmed up these, and in a few minutes the remaining inmates of the doomed house were being carried out. On the stairway leading from the second to the third floor was found the body of Mr. Armiger, with that of his little grandchild, Richard Riley, clasped tightly in his arms, showing that the old man had made a gal- lant attempt to rescue the boy at the cost of his own life. In the front room on the third floor was found the corpse of Mr. Manuel. He, too, had the body of a child in his arms, telling another story of unre- quited heroism. On the third floor In a rear room, lying on the bed, the firemen found the dead body of Mr. Riley. By his side lay his wife, breath- ing faintly. She was hurried into the open air in time to save her life, and though she is badly burned about the face and arms and half crazed by her terrible loss, she will recover. In another room were the bodies of Mrs. Champlin and her three- year-old son, while upon the upper floor the firemen found Ida Whiténg, the colored ser- vant, unconscious from smoke,. but not ser- lously affected. The injured were taken to the homes of neighboring friends, with the exception of the servants, who were con- veyed to the City Hospital. Kind hands tenderly carried the dead bodies across the street to the residence of Dr. E. K. Batcheler, where every effort was made to resuscitate them without avail. When it was found that nothing further could be done for them they were covered with sheets and laid out on the floor of the physician’s parlor to await the coming of the undertaker. The fire, although a fierce one, was confined to the Armiger residence, which was completely gutted. Estimates of the loss are uncertain, but it is thought the contents of the house were worth at least $10,000. The house is in- sured in the Germania Insurance Company of New York for $3,500. Prayers in the Churches. The news of the disaster spread with wonderful rapidity all over the city, and in one hour a tremendous crowd gathered in front of the house. Prayers for the dead and for the afflicted were lifted up in al- Manuel's left hand glistened a handsome diamond ring, shaped like a serpent, with the glittering gem in the center of the head) Fainted at the Sight. Strong men who were Standing in the parlor turned their heads, when two under- takers brought in the body of little James Ckamplin, grandson of Mr. Armiger. A woman standing near the parlor door, in the hall, fainted. The child was a blackened cinder. Smoke and fire had done their fear- ful work. Even the throat and nostrils were burned inside. His little white night gown was dabbled and spotted with cinders and dark stains from the burned body. Killed by Smoke. The two Riley children were killed by the suffocating smoke. They were not as badly burned as the others, but their faces were blackened from the bursting of blood ves- sels, and the red crimson fluid stained their blackened night gowns. Poor little Marian’s golden hair was mat- ted about her face, where it had not been burned off. Strands of the silken tresses Were imbedded in the flesh. They had fallen there when the body was moved from the room and had dried in the burns. Mrs. Letitia Riley, who is so cruelly be- reaved, is lying at the home of Dr. Batche- lor in a semi-stupor, seemingly unconscious of her irreparable loss, and suffering great physical agony. The physician says, how- ever, that her wounds are more painful than serious, and that the only obstacle to her complete recovery will be the awful shock she has sustained and will again ex- perience when the full knowledge of the dreadful thing that has come to her makes itself clear to her mind. Mrs. Armiger and her other surviving daughters are at the home of James West, No. 5 West North avenue, all completely prostrated by their terrible experience. ee MASONIC VETERANS.

REPUBLICAN RALLY Celebration of the Fortieth Anniver- ‘tary of the Party’s Beginning. SPEECHES BY LEADING REPUBLICANS Great Enthusiasm Shown by Rank : and File. MEMORABLE SCENE The celebration Saturday evening at Center Market Hell of the founding of the republican party forty years ago was an event which called out one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences Washing- ton has seen in years. The hall was rich- ly decorated with the national colors and lorge portraits of Washington, Lincoin and Grant hung above the stage, which was embowered in ferns and palms. Across the front of the stage hung the legend in crimson cartoons: “1656. G. O. P. 1803." The Fourth Artillery Band furnished musie during the evening, playing at interval patriotic melodies, from “Yankee Doodle” to “America.” There was a large number of ladies present, who joined in the demon- strations of applause. On the stage were T. J. Lasier, president of the Union Republican Club, under whose auspices the celebration was held; the venerable A. M. Clapp, chairman of thé committee of arrangements, who was called on to preside; Rev. H. Corey, D.D, Dr. Fardon, Colonel Cook, Mr. Boutelle of Maine, Senator Sawyer, Senator Hawley, Representatives Towne of Minnesota, Brumm of Pennsylvania, Cousins and Dole liver of Iowa, Lewis Clephane, Captain Crawshaw, Colonel Bramhall, Colonel John A. Joyce and others. The exercises opened with the invocation of the divine blessing by Dr. Corey, aft which Colonel William A. Cook on beh sf the committee on resolutions presents a memorial, the reading of which dre forth repeated outbursts of applause ai were adopted with a shout. The docament set forth the facts of interest concerni the birth of the party and recapiiulati the achievements and its promises for the future. Mr. Clapp Presiden. Thomas J. Laster, as president of the Unton Republican Club, assuming charge of the meeting as chairman, made a brief address, telling of the formation of the club, which now numbers 750 members, and then paid a high tribute to A. M, Clapp and his iong party service. He then asked him to take charge as president of the mecting. In taking the chair, as soon as the applause which greeted Mr. Lasier’g invitation had died away, Mr. Clapp said: “We have met tonight to commemorate t! life, the birth, and, we hope, the eterm: Preservation in the hearts of the American people, of the father of our country and the national republican party of the United. States. That party, which has been pro- rcunced dead, is now asserting itself, and the popular voice of the people of the United States—which is the voice of God— has left our opponenis in a state of dis- traction.” After a short speech retrospec- tive of important events in the hisiory of the republican party, Mr. Clapp called out Serator Hawley, who made a most inter- esting speech, narrating the experiences of exrly republicans, describing how the party began and the events of the Fremont cam- paign. Reaching contemporary questions, the speaker reviewed the foreign policy of the present administration. Of the tariff he said that if the Wilson bill had been pessed as originally drawn it would have Swept cver the land like a biting blizzard, The Senate, he said, had more sense than the President enq his cabiret, and modified the bill. Speaking of the bonds, Senator Hawley declared that Cleveland had run the country in debt to the amount of $50,000,000. Other Speeches. Representative Brumm ef Pennsylvanta next spoke. The republican party, he ine sisted, was the party of progress, of equal- ity, for north, south, east and west. It was 4@ party born on moral, patriotic and human- itarlan ideas. He was frequently applauded. Representative Cousins of Iowa spoke of what the republican party had done for the workingman and the prosperity of the coun- try, and scathingly described the effect of democratic rule. Representative Towne of Minnesota lauded the work of the party, which, he said, had done more for human progress than any other moral movement in all history. At this point Col. John A. Joyce was call- ed forth, and read a poem written for the~ occasion. Representative Dolliver of lowa was call- d on and made a speech, predicting party success and pointing out what he claimed to be the weaknesses of democratic policy. Mr. Boutelle’s Address. After him came Representative Boutelle of Maine, who \eus the last speaker of the evening. He made an earnest plea for re- publicanism on broad, moral grounds, as the doctrine which, he claimed, would pro- tect every man in bis rights at home and abroad. “I will not be satisfied,” he said, “until the republican party has so far fulfilled that portion of its mission that we shall no long- er have thirty cases of contested election cases before us, every one of which repree sents open and bold defiance of the laws and the Constitution of the United States. I want her first of all to bring back the in- dustries of which we have been robbed and the prosperity of which we have been de- prived by the democratic party. I am not ready to fling up my cap in honor of Grover Cleveland as a leader in the affairs of man- kind while the most important demand is the restoration of the prosperity and the in: dustries of which we have been robbed. A strong foreign policy ts all right, but I want first to see a strong domestic policy. Before we go into a great war I want to see a Con- gress assembled which will enact laws to sustain the credit of the United States. I want to see a Senate which, instead of pass- ing buncombe resolutions and resolutions insulting to other countries, will enable us to secure an adequate revenue.” Letters of regret were read from Senator Cullom and Senatcr Perkins. During the evening a telegram was recived from Gov. Morton of New York, expressing his regret at being unable to attend the meeting. Let- ters of regret were received from Messrs. Harrison, Alliscn, Reed and McKinley. The meeting closed with three.cheers for the next republican nominee. ———— Joshan Parker Wanted. Judge Kimball is making anxious in- quiries for the whereabouts of an armless man remed Joshua Parker, for whose re- Nef a bill has been introduced in Congress. One day last summer the judge was passing the corner of 9th and F streets when his attention was attracted to a man and wo- man who had a small hand organ. The woman was turning the crank of the in- strument, which vas making music calcus lated to arouse the charity of those who heard it. a placard giving a history of the ane life, the judge noticed that he was from Fort Wayne, Ind. The judge was Ine terested in the man and woman, as’ they were from his old home. He learned that the man, Joshua Parker, had served threughout the war in the twelfth and eighteenth Indiana regiments, and had made for himself an excellent record. He was disabled in the service, but he made no application for a pension until after he had lost his arms in a Fourth of July celebration at Fort Wayne. Mrs. Parker told the Judge that it was very humiliating to her to have to sit about on street corners and earn a living in this way, but she could do nothing else. She would willingly go out and work for him, but because of his helplessness, she has to be with him all the time. The judge had known the Parker family at Fort Wayne, and so he concluded to get congressional relief for the totally disabled man. To this end a bill has been intro- duced providing a pension of $50 a month, and Dr. Gallinger, chairman of the Senate committee, has hopes of securing favorable action on the bill. Parker is now wanted because he has good indorsements from scores of promi- nent citizens, including army officers and citizens of Indiana, and it is said that ex- President Harrison's name is on one of the papers.
