Catholic Union to Disband—A Couple Married The Georgetow! in Baltimore—Notes, A meeting of the démocrats of the third and fourth districts will be held this evén- ing. The main thing to be considered is the selection of a man from Georgetown to be one of the six delegates which it is pro- posed to send to the national convention. After the selection of a candidate he will be backed at the local convention by the dele- gates from both of the Georgetown pre- cinets. There is considerable speculation as to who the candidate will be, but at present it looks very much as though Samuel E. Wheatley, ex-Commissioner of the District, has the best show. Edwin Forrest has a good backing and he may secure the nomi- nation. As the time approaches for the holding of the primaries, the candidates for the local convention begin to hustle at a more lively rate. ‘The primaries will be held next Tue: day, leaving less than a full week for can- vassing for votes. The primary for the third district will more than likely be held at For- rest Hall, although this place has not been definitely agreed upon. The meeting will be called by William H. Manogue, member of the central committee this year, elected from the district. The candidates for the office of delegate are David Lyons, John Curtin, Edwin Forrest and John Sullivan. The primary of the fourth precinct will be held at the office of the Equitable Build- ing Association, corner of ist and M streets, and the meeting will be called to order by John McKenney, the central com- mitteeman, who is also a candidate for re-election. The other candidates are Lo- renzo B. Coleman, secretary of the Met- ropolitan Railroad Company, and Arthur Small of 2918 M street. P. T. Moran, a well-known M street ‘business man, is a candidate for delegate from the fifth ward. William H. Manogue; ‘ex-collector of cus- toms, announces that this is the last year he will dabble in politics, and that here- after in no sense wil! he have anything to do with District politics. The Catholic Uulon to Disband. At the regular meeting of the George- town Catholic Union, held last evening, a report of the board of director's was adopt- ey by the organization, providing for its "| disbandment and the sale of its effe:ts to liquidate the indebtedness of the associa- tion. The sale of these will be more than sufficient to meet all obligations, and the extra funds will be donated to some de- serving charity. The well-stocked library will be given to the Sunday schoo? of Trin- ity Church. For some time the affairs of the organization haverbeen in bad shape, As there were no prospects-of relivf it was decided to disband and sell the ef- fects to pay off the outstanding bills, which amount to very little. According to a resolution introduced last evening the sec- retary is empowered to receive sealed bids for the property of the organization, which will be opened next Tucsday evening. Among a good many members there is gen- eral regret ‘at the disbandment, the asso- ciation having been organized’ about ten years ago. Married in Baltimore. The friegds of Mr. T. Ouiver Proby have been treaied to a great surprise in his-join- ing the ranks of the benedicts in a rather romantic way. Mr. Proby, who enjoys the title of commodore for his nautical abill- ties, went away to Baltimore Monday with- out informing anybody of his intentions. Before embarking on the train he was join- ed by Miss Mabel Stuart, whose parents live on Capitol Hill. At Baltimore they Frocured a license and were married by Rev. J. T. Rossiter, and after the ceremony the couple returned home, the announce- ment of the marriage was made public and they received the forgiveness of the parents. Mr. and Mrs. Proby are at present domicil- ed at the home of the bride. Mr. Proby is @ prominent member of the Salamagundi Outing Club, and was kept busy today re- ceiving the congratulations of friends. Low Water in the Potomac. The water,in the Potomac is extremely low just at the present time, lower than it has been for some years, and the cause is attributed to the wind. Fortunately the shipping season has not opened yet, or it may have suffered by the present ‘condi- tion of affairs. The steady northerly winds for the last three days have been strong enough to keep the water back. The low water extends all the way up to Great Falls and above. Notes. Rev. Edward McTammany, S. J., of Georgetown University, will deliver the sermon this evening at the Lenten services at Trinity Church, The funeral of Mrs. Carrie Bremerman was held this afternoon from Dumbarton Avenue M. ©. Church, and was largely at- tended. Rev. C. Alvin Smith will deliver a lec- ture at the Lenten services this evening at the Peck Memorial Chapel. —o The Murder Wave. Brom the New York Journal. The astovishing prevalence of crimes in and about New York city for some time past has startled every reflecting person. There are waves of murder, just as there are “heat wave®’ and “cold waves.” But here is a steadily persisting current of cap- ital crime, which, if-it were to be continued through six months ‘of thé year, would give us as unenviable a reputation for violent vengeance as that ef the Corsicans. Men murder their wives; and wives kill their children; lovers stab, their sweethearts be- cause they will nog kis’ them. All the dread consequences of arrest and trial, the stern procession of incriminating witnesses, the possibility of exetutioh, seem powerless to prevent people frim taking the law into their own hands. a 2 How long is this to gq on? Are we be- coming a community of barbarians? Is there nothing which will impress the vin- dictive, the angry and the envious with a sense of the sacredness of human life? The answer is: Nothing but the enforcement of the law. With a couple of dozen murderers in the Tombs, none'of them in very immi- nent danger of sufferi: punishment, a kind of contempt for the formidable judi- cial machinery which brings a murderer down has sprung into existence. The culp- able slowness in trying murderers is also responsible in large degree. The man with homicidal instincts reasons that where there are such long and singular delays, where the murdered person, instead of the murderer, seems to be placed on trial, where new trials are granted with such ease—thers is chance of escape. Vices of procedure must be reformed; negligent offi- clals must be reproved, and, most of all, murder trials must be conducted with promptness, and there must be no way of. squirming away from the sentence. Is this not a matter which interests everybody without exception? What is civ- ilization worth if it cannot guarantee se- curity to human life from violence? What is law worth if it cannot punish criminals taken red-handed? Reform in the notorious laxity of New York’s pursuit of murderers hes been often enough promised. Is it not time to enforce it? POLICE COURT CASES Owing to the Wind, Several Hata Were “Lost Last Evening, ud Women Told the Judge Why They Had Violated the Law. “There must have been a strong breeze last night,” remarked Policeman Flynn this morning soon after the score of prisoners had arrived in court, “for there are several bare-headed prisoners in the pen. Belle Gaines was in the crowd because she took too much morphine last night.” Belle is a young colored woman, who lives in the section of the city which is giving the authorities so much trouble just now, and, although there are no licensed saloons there, and the Commissioners have issued an anti-“speak easy” order,“she was able to get all the red liquor she wanted. “Net guilty,” was the plea entered by Lawyer Moss for her, and the complaint was made by Policeman Warren. “Last night she was on the street in the ‘Division,’ said the policeman. “She was ery, drunk and was boisterous and pro- ane.” ‘Witness told of her reputation in the dis- reputable section of the city, and said she had just been released from the work house. “And did she return to the same life?” - “I arrested her in the ‘Division.’ ” “Where does she live?” “She doesn't live anywhere very long.” Policeman Kilmartin was next called, and he said that Belle lives in Lizzie Clayton’s house of ill fame. He had seen her there several times. “You may have seen me in one of the houses,” the woman's counsel remarked. “I was in Josie Long’s house to get $20.’ “We won’t go into your conduct, Mr. Moss,” remarked the court. Judge Kimball repeated his former hold- ing that all inmates of those houses are vagrants within the meaning of the law. “For reasons with which the court has nothing to do,” remarked the judge, “‘these houses are permitted to exist, and the wo- men are seldom arrested, unless they are disorderly or unless a complaint is made against them.” Commenting on the case the judge said that women of this character do more to pollute the community than any other Class. Referring to the question of refor- mation the judge said he would release any of these women who show the slightest sign of wanting to make an effort to re- form, but experience teaches that when in court they will make all sorts of promises, but they make them only for the purpose of getting out. The court cited the case of two white women who were turned over to the Hope and Help Mission because of their promises and sald that they soon returned to the “Division.” Belle promised to leave the “Division” and return to the home of her aunt if the court would release her, but the judge thought her promise was like a death-bed repentance. He required her to give bond or go down for sixty days, and warned her that if she returns to her old naunts when she gets out slie may expect to return to the work house. ica was sent down in default of secur- Some Other Cases. Hattie Williams and Lizzie Lane, colored women, were in the toils for disorderly cun- duct, but Officer Connor, who arrested them, did not tell the court of any disorder on their part, “They were under the influence of liquor,” he sald, “and were coming down the street locked arms.” “Were they profane?” inquired the court. “No, your honor, but they could not walk straight,” was his response. “Judge said Hattie, “I wouldn’t have been out last right, but I was sent down the Street on some business by my white peo- ple. But I'm going to tell you the truth.” “What is the truth?” the judge asked. “I had taken something to drin! , “and might have talked loud. “And I was with her,” added Lizzie. “Did you hear any profanity?” the court asked the officer. “No, sir.” “Personal bonds.” Three Germans, who concluded to cast their lots together, endure the hardships and enjoy the luxuries, were .before the court as vagrants, and they very con- veniently claimed that they could not un- derstand English. William West, Henry Folz and Henry Klossman were the names they gave, and the court directed that a plea of not guilty be recorded. “They came to the station last night and wanted lodgings,” said the policeman. “They are strangers in the city, and that’s all I know of them. “Where do you live?” the court asked the member of the trio who admitted he could understand a little English. “I have no home,” was his response. “My parents have been dead for twenty years, and I live from place to place where 1 work.”” Bailiff Cole made an effort to act as in- terpreter, and in this effort Policeman Kimmell assisted him. The court finally managed to learn from the men that they would leave the city to- day, and they were released. Heard Him Swear. John Harris, a colored man, who lives in Georgetown, thought he had been arrested for nothing, but Policeman Sullivan did not agree with him. “I was near his house early Synday morning,” he said, “and I heard him swearing for fully five minutes.” “How are you going to explain this?” the court asked. “Well, judge,” answered John, “if the policeman heard me talking he must have been near the door. I was in bed talking to my wife, but I didn’t use any bad lan- guage.” “But the policeman says he heard you,” said the court. “I know he did,” said John, mistaken.”” Charles Mertz, a young man, arrested for disorderly conduct, admitted his guilt, and the usual fine was imposed. The Democratic Convention. To the Editor of The Evening “Star: I notice in your columns that a number of gentlemen’s names are mentioned as candidates for delegates to the Chicago democratic convention, but am unable, so far, to learn why these gentlemen expect this position; no statement has been made as to the policy which either of them would advocate should the District convention elect them to represent the democracy at Chicago. The public have a right to know whether these gentlemen have any convictions in regard to the pending issues, or do they only want to go to make themselves solid with the successful candidates, whoever they may be, regardless of the platform that may be adopted. It would seem that if there is to be an appeal for support, then those whose votes are expected should know what policy they are indorsing in giv- ing their votes. It would be gratifying to very many voters if these gentlemen would state their opin- ions on the following questions: 1. Do you indorse the administration? 2. Are you for free silver? 8. Are you for sound money? 4. Do you favor the annexation of the Sandwich Islands? A candid answer to these and cognate questions which now agitate the party would do much to clear the political at- mosphere, and satisfy democrats that those who seek to represent them have opinions, and are able and willing to advocate th@n. Messrs. Lawrence Gardner, A. A. Wilson, J. L. Norris, W. J. Jordan and others are mentioned for national committeemen, and it would be well also for these gentlemen to tell us what phase of the political creed they represent; no doubt they will be glad to do so. = This District will be the first to elect dele- gates, and the action of the democracy here will be viewéd with much interest by the party-at-large, and it is important that the opinions of those elected should be known; that no misrepresentation will follow. An article m the Baltimore Sun last week stated that an effort was being made to elect a silver delegation, and that several of those already named were in the deal; a prompt declaration by all the aspirants will set at rest all doubts, and prevent heart- burnings which always follow misstate- ments, while justice will be done to all.

Sold everywhere, THE LADIES’ "WHEEL Its Invention Qredited to Two Washing- Suits Said to Be in Preparation to Enforce Their Rights—Many Mani facturers Concerned. A report that is causing considerable stir in the bicycle world is that suits are to be brought to sustain the rights of two Wash- ington inventors to the exclusive manu- facture, under the patent laws, of the drop frame used in making ladies’ wheels. The matter, it is said, affects the two hundred bicycle concerns in the country. The credit of inventing the drop frame has long been a matter of dispute, and for years the cycling papers have been trying tosettle the matter. The honor ts given by many to H. 8. Owen, the head of the firm, known as the Owen Manufacturing Com- pany. He is a well-known Washingtonian, and one of the charter members of the Capital Bicycle Club, organized long be- fore the safety bicycle came into use. An- other man credited with inventing the drop frame is W. E. Smith, the senior member of the firma of the Smith Dart Cycle Manu- facturing Company of this city. He died about two years ago. Mr. Smith was a native of England,where he was engaged in bicycle construction, in addition to being an expert rider. He, with several members of his family, came to America in 1882, and began the manufac- ture of the Dart wheel, the same ma- chine madc in England. Smith’ vention. It is claimed that he invented the drop frame in 1888, more for an advertisement than anything else. He conceived the idea of a bicycle so constructed that a woman with skirts could ride, and carrying the thought into practical execution, he taught is wife to ride. The sight of a woman riding a wheel in public at that date was a great novelty, and people looked at Mrs. Smith as a curiosity as she sailed over the smooth streets in company with her hus- band. She claims the honor of being the first female rider of the bicycle, and like- wise being the rider of the first ladies’ wheel. The patent on the wheel, however, is duted November 13, 1888. In his patent Mr. Smith designed a wheel, the connec- tions at the head being practically the same as the wheel manufactured, with a square joint at the crank axle, caused by the perpendicular position of that portion of the frame holding the saddle post. In- cidentally, it might be remarked that Mr. Smith was the one who conceived the idea of tangent spokes, holding the inventor's ee under a patent granted March 22, Owen’s Device. ad In the drop frame of Owen's invention the idea was rot at first thought of for the use of ladies, and a detriment to their use by the fair sex was a nickeled rod, which ran from the bottcm of the saddle post to the neck of the machine. The design is claimed to belcng distinctively to Owen. At the time of its conception he was sole agent for the Psycho wheel, an English product, the Dart wheel being the only American-made safety wheel competing in the trade. Owen sent a pattern of his de- sign to John Marshall Starley, the manu- facturer of the Psycho wheel, in England, and a bicycle was constructed on the same lires. A batch of six of these machines arrived in this city in March of 1888, and were put to use in the riding school. Owen never once thought of taking out a patent on his contrivance, until suggested by his friends. The patent is dated December 18, 1888, or over a month later than the is- suance of the patent to Mr. Smith. His drop frame consisted of one piece of tubing which was connected to the steering head by means of a pin, facilitating the steering. The tubing curved downward, even with the crank axle, and then curved upward, ending above the hind wheel, the saddle post being inserted in the end. The crank exle was braced on to this piece of continuous tubing. Their Forces United. By the death of Mr. W. E. Smith, and the drawing out from the firm of the other members, the patent rights of Mr. Smith descended to J. Charles V.~Smith. He is now associated with Herbert S. Owen, in the bicycle factory which is now being es- tablished at New London, Conn., and known as the Owen. Manufacturing Company. These two, claiming to hold the exclusive right to the manufacture of the drop-frame wheels, now rc generally used, have reach- ed some sort of an agreement under which they will inaugurate a crusade against all bicycle manufacturers making ladies’ cycles, Both of the parties are in New London, = from there are taking the preliminary steps. it is announced that a syndicate of capi- talists have offered to furnish the financial Seeking: for the proposed infringement The matter at present is creating quite a stir among the bicycle manufacturers, The number of ladies’ wheels marufactured tris year, all of which, it is claimed, are constructed on the lines of Owen’s and Smith’s designs, are many times greater than the product of previous years. —~=—_—_ A WINTER’S WORK DONE. Interesting Exercises the Night High School Commencement. commencement exercises of the Night H'gh School were held last evening at the Central School building. The school began its session last October, and after a five months’ term certificates of proficiency Were granted to over eighty pupils who have given up their uights to the pursuit af knowledge. Principal F. A. Springer pre- sided over the exercises and the hall was filled with the friends of the students. Su- perintendent W. B. Pewell presented the certificates to the pupils. There was an interesting program, in which only students of the Night Hign High School participated. Mr. Springer made a shcrt address, in which he detailed the work of the school since its first in- ception. Charles Becker played a mandolin solo, Miss Hart read an essay, Mr. Aaron Becker played a violin solo, with his sister as accompgnist, Mr. E. P. Hamlin read an essay on “Church and State,” essays were read by Mrs. Burdette and Miss Alexander, after which Miss Katherine Whitcomb gave a delightful recitation.

Decisions were rendered in the United States Supreme Court yesterday which saved the government $20,000,000 and perhaps more, and involving questions of importance, not cnly to this government, but to several thousand claimants. The cases were those of Marks against the United States and the Bannock Indians, and Leighton against the United States and the Ogallala Sioux tribe. They involved the question of what consti- tutes a state of amity between the United States and an Indian tribe. ‘The peerless Mniment, Salvation Oll, 25c. And Gives His Reasons for the An« pointment. King George of Greece, though comparatively a young man in com- parison to the other crowned heads of Europe, has perhaps as advanced ideas as any of them in respect to the science of government as well as the demands and needs of his sub- jects. In his own household King George is particularly careful to have none but scholars, so far as relates to direction and conduct of its affairs. io better example of this fact need to be cited than was afforded in his choice of a purveyor to his court, appointing as he did JOHANN HOFF, “in consideration of the high excellence of his MALT EX- TRACT.” These words in quotation are King George’s precise language as stated in the appointment.

Wires Little business beyond routine matters was transacted at the regular monthly meeting of the Columbia Heights Citizens” Association, held last evening in St. Stephen’s Parish Hall, 14th street and Kenesaw avenue. President M. A. Ballin- ger presided, and he stated that the high- way act resolutions adopted at the Feb- ruary meeting of the association had been presented to Congress, and that the bill introduced by Representative Richardson conforms almost entirely to the views of t@ association. The District Commission- ers have also approved the bill, he said. In that connection Mr. Ballinger stated that President Phillips of the Metropolitan Rail- road Company had informed him that until the matter of the extension of the streets and highways had been finally settled his road would do nothing in the matter of the extension of its line in the suburbs. Hence, the bill now before Congress will be_abandoned. Referring to the matter of overhead wires Mr. Ballinger stated that President Crosby of the Potomac Light and Power Company had informed him that the company wouid respect the wishes of the association in the matter of placing wires in Columbia Heights. The company would not, he thought, attempt to place overhead wires within the fire mits, and he understood that the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association had petitioned the District Commissioners to extend the fire limits to beyond Piney Branch road. A conference would be held today, he said, between President Crosby, President Somerville of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association and himself, and he believed that the vexed question of over- head wires in the section would be satis- factorily settled. A letter from the Eckington Citizens’ Association, anneuncing the appointment. of a committee to urge upon Congress the extension of the boundary of the cit; which committee it is proposed to have work in connection with committees from other suburban associations, was referred to the executive committee, and upon mo- tion of Mr. Bailey, the committee was requested’to present the matter to Congress and ask its favorable action. In support- ing the motion, Mr. C. S. Bundy remarked that the boundary line between the city and suburbs was wholly imaginary, and he believed that the extension of the city limits would forever solve the perplexing questions of overhead wires, police regula~ tions, fire limits and all such matters. The people outside the city limits numbered about 30,000, end they paid, he believ proportionately greater amount of taxes. He hoped the executive committee would press the matter. Upon the motion of Secretary George Simmons, the following committee was ap- pointed to consider and report upon the matter of the extension of street railways through the section: Messrs. Simmons, Bundy, Small, Schneider and President Bal- linger. Before the association adjourned the following were elected to membership: Joel Hillman, R. T. Hough, C. C. Duncans son, I. S. Stone and Dr. . Gibbs. ——_>——— FIRE AT BROOKLAND. - Grocery and Feed Stores Entirely, Burned Early This Morning. There was a big blaze in Brookland this rrorning, but the volunteer firemen there did rot turn out. There is a volunteer company, in Brookland, but at 3 o'clock this morning, when the velocity of the wind was almost equal to that of a small cyclone, it was diffi- cult to get the members together, as‘many of them live a long distance from the scene. But the firemen of No. 7 Engine Company responded promptly when a call was made for them, and although the damage amount- ed to nearly $4,000, the firemen, under the directions of Acting Foreman Grim, did good work. The fire, it is thought, originated in Toombs’ grocery store, on the Bunker Hill road, west of the railroad track, and oppo- site the property of the Catholic University. Adjoining this grocery store was Hare's feed store, and now there is nothing but a pile of charcoal and some bricks jeft to tell the story of this morning’s conflagration. When the fire broke out there was a strong northwest wind blowing. Residents of that part of Brookland near the railroad track were awakened by the bright light, and soon after an alarm had been given persons re- siding in other sections were up and many of them turned out to attempt to save some of the threatened property. Large sparks and pieces of burning timber were blown across the tracks of the Balti- more and Ohio road, and it required the ccmbined efforts of firemen and citizens to extinguish these sparks, which threatened the destruction of a number of residences. Just east of the two buildings destroyed is the freight depot of the railroad company, and by hard work the firemen succeeded in saving this building from ruin. The fire com- pany remained at the scene of the conflagra~ tion until Jong after daybreak and did not leave until the last spark had disappeared. The building was owned by Miss Emily Brooks and was valued at about $2.4"). The upper portion was occupied by Mr. Padgett, a conductor on the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad, with his wife and five smail children, the eldest being only ten years old. These were aroused by the fire and so quick- ly did the flames spread that they all barely escaped with their lives, all their clothing and household effects being entirely de- etroyed. The residents of Brookland have responded liberally toward providing for them temporarily and they were taken in by Mrs. McCormick and made comfortable for the rest of the night. A house and furniture to enable them to have a home is now need- ed, and the citizens are seeking relief for them in this respect. They are soliciting ccntributions of bedding or any household effects, if money cannot be given. —— New Cattle Quarantine Lines, Following the course adopted in the case of Texas and Virginia, Secretary Morton has consented to the re-establishment of the Texas fever quarantine lines along the same lines as last year through the state of Ar- kansas and the territory of Oklahoma, the state and territorial authorities having guar- anteed to the Secretary's satisfaction a rigid. surveillance of the line and a rigid observ- ance of the quarantine ions. ——___ 2+ ____. ” Public Schools.
