Gordon has filed a suit against Frank N. Carver, claiming $20,000 dam- ages for injuries alleged to have been due to the recklessness and negligence of the defendant: The plaintiff states that May 2, 1805, he was in the employ of the de- fendent, as foreman of the work of trench excavation near 36th and Prospect streets, and that he was ordered by the defendant to place lime in holes drilled in the rock. Not aware of any danger in so doing,-the Plaintiff says, he obeyed the order; an ex- Plosion followed, he being nearly blinded a eae scene oe Attorneys F. . Sands an: Thomas represent plaintiff. — : AMUSEMENTS. Lafayet‘e Square Opera House.—Miss Rehan appeared in a double bill at the Lafayette Square Opera House last even- ing, the two plays presented being Mrs. Cutlivre’s “Belle’s Stratagem,” arranged for twe acts, and John Tobin’s “The Hon- eymoon.” Miss Rehan had a young girl’s part in both of the plays, and completely captivated her audience by her excellent work. As Letitia Hardy in the first she won favor by Fer impersonation of the shy belle, and was ably assisted by Edwin Ste- vens as Doncourt. As Juliana, the newly wedded wife, in “The Honeymoon,” Miss Rehan brought out ker own artistic inter- pretations of the part and gave a finished rendition of the role. George Clarke as Duke Ararza was also excellent. The bill this evening will be Sheridan’s ‘School for Scandal.” in which Miss Rehan will appear as Lady Teazle. Stoddard on Constantinople.—The second in his series of lectures was delivered last evening by Mr. Jokn L. Stoddard, his sub- ject being “Constantinople,” and Metzerott Hall was filled by a large ard thoroughly appreciative audience. The lecture was, of course, profusely illustrated, the illustra- tions being colored photographic reprodue- tions of the scenes described. Mr. Stod- dard prefaced h's remarks with the state- ment that if an unprejud‘ced jury were to decide upon the superior beauty of the cities of the world, Constantinople would be awarded the distinction. The sea voy- age across the Mediterranean was describ- ed, the wzy being through Greek Islends, across the Sea of Marmora into the Bos- phorus. A walk was taken through old Stamboul, which was especially endeared to all Bostonians, because of the eccentric manner in which its streets are laid out. Constantinople, remarked Mr. Stoddard, is the swinging door between the orient and the occident, and as pictured in the dis- tance, with its mosques and minarets, its palaces and cypress groves, and its inter- esting relies of antiquity, Is a veritable dream from the “Arabian Nights.” But distance in this case lends enchantment to the view, for a closer acquaintance with the city reveals narrow and crooked streets, with their layers of mud and garbage, and its scavengers, the innumerable packs of dogs which unmolested prowl the streets. The fourtains of the city were described, the lecturer remarking that water is al- ways pientiful, and that whatever else may be sald of the Turk, he is -omparatively cleanly and is not a drunkard. The ‘Turk is also brave, he thought, and the failings of h's ruler are due more to the evils of the Turkish government than to an individual character. The lecture was unusually: in- teresting, and will be repeated tonight and tomcrrow evening. The Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs.—The Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs announce a con- cert for Monday evening, April 6, at the Universalist Church, that promises to be one of the society events of the season. Already the list of patronesses is large, and the interest that is being manifested tn the event insures the clubs one of the heartiest receptions that they have ever received in this city. The alumni will, of course, be present in force to lend their encourage- ment to the boys who have so surpassed themselves in the character of the work that they have accomplished this season. The program, that will be announced in a few days, is one of great excellence, and is sure to meet with the approval of all who enjoy this cless of music. The box sheet, for the sale of seats, is now open at Metz- erott’s music store. “Rob Roy."—Since. Gilbert and Sullivan first came before the public in the light opera field there have not been any really great successes—that 1s, that have stood the test of time—except those of the two young Americans, De Koven and Smith. One of their pieces, “Robin Hood,” after six seasons, is still drawing crowded houses, its 2000th performance having re- cently taken place. Another of their works has for two seasons been given to crowded houses all over America by a magnificent company, which, strange to say, has had but one chance fn the cast since the open- ing engagement. “Rob Roy's’ rendition here last fall was a great hit, and the com- ing engagement, which begins at the La- fayette Square Theater Monday evening next, promises to again arouse the same interest. With the original cast, including Miss Juliette Corden, Lizzie McNichol, Miss Anna O'Keefe, Mr. Wm. Pruette, Mr. Wm. McLoughlin and Richard F. Carroll, the leading roles are in the hands of artists of the highest standing. A splendid chorus, an augmented orchestra, beautiful scen- ery, stage settings, wonderful light effects and attractive, pretty Scotch costumes are promised. ——— The Big Hat Nuisance. To the Editor of The Eveulng Star: I attended the theater last evening to hear and also to see Miss Rehan in two imper- sonaticns. As soon as I was seated, I dis- covered to my dismay directly in front of me a hat of such proportions that it entire- ly blotted out the stage and all the actors. I politely asked the lady to remove her hat, as it so obscured the stage that I could see rothing. She promptly and firmly refused to do so. It seems incredible that in the face of all the criticisms on the theater hat, to say nothing of the injustice of the prac- tice, women will persist in making them- selves obnoxious in this way. Is there no redress for such treatment? Fortunately, there was a vacant seat in the same row, and by applying to the usher I was allowed to change my seat for it. This was an un- usual piece of good fortune, and but for it the entire pleasure of the evening's per- formance would have been spoiled for me by the discourtesy and selfishness of one woman. I should like to state explicitly that the lady sat in row G, and that the prettiness of her spring hat, with its wide lace brim, crown of gaily flowered silk and towering feathers, was nullified by its in- appropriateness to time and place.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. JURY DISAGREED. Another Trinl of the Tilford Case Necesssary. - The case of Lottie Tilford, charged with Keeping a house of ill fame .at 212 1ith street, in the “Division,” came to an end at 9 o'clock last evening, when the jury an- nounced that there was no possible chance of their agreeing upon a verdict. The case was given to the jury at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the opin- fon was general that they would not be out more than a few minutes, At the end of an hour and a half Judge Miller sent for them and asked the foreman whether there Was any likelihood of their reaching an agreement. On his saying that there was not, the jury were locked up again, and the court took a recess. At 9 o’clock the judge returned to the court house and the defend- ant and her lawyers were sent for. The jury were called in and then it became evi- dent that even the prospect of being locked up se night could not force them to a ver- ict. Judge Miller asked the foreman again what the outlook was, and was given to understand that they could not agree. He then said that there was nothing to do but let them go, although he was always loth to discharge a jury under any circum- stances. Mr. Forrest, for the defense, moved their discharge, and this was grant- ed. The defendant was then released on the same bond for future trial. As the term of that panel of the jury has expired, and a new one will not be on hané until next Wednesday, there will probably be no new trial for at least a week. AMONG THE TOILERS. Meetings Last Night of Various Labor Organizations. District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, met as usual last night, and efter adjournment it was announced that dele- gates from six new organizations were ad- mitted, and that hereafter no portion of the proceedings would be made public, as it is Intended that all future meetings shall be in the nature of executive sessions. The Galvanized Iron and Cornice Work- ers held an enjoyable “smoker” last even- ing after the transaction of routine busi- ness. The menu comprised sandwiches, coffee, cigars, ete. The musical portion of the program was rendered with great suc- cess by the Northeast Glee Club, composed of Messrs. Matthews, Lewis, Ossellton, Snow and Barcoe. Mr. George B. Miles rendered German and Irish songs. The guests of the evening were President Mil- ford Spohn of the Federation of Trade and Labor Unions, the new central body of the A. F. of L. in this city; President William Maghan of the Bricklayers’ Union, and Mr. John G. Wolffe of the same organization, each of whom made a short address. The regular meeting of Engineers’ Union, No. 1, affiliated with the American Federa- tion of Labor, was held last evening at Arion Hall, 430 8th street northwest, Act- ing Chairman Joseph P. McCrink presiding. The following were elected officers for the enguing term: President, Joseph P. Mc- Crink; vice president, William E. Dykes; re- cording secretary, M. O. Spring; treasurer, Francis D. Neale; sergeant-at-arms, Wil- liam Balser; delegate to American Federa- tion of Labor, Joseph Culley. A communi- cation was read from Mr. James Duncan, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, congratulating the members of the organization on their success thus far. Five new memters were initiated. The union is composed of both marine and stationary engineers. Maxonte Feast of the Paschal Lamb. Columbia Chapter of Rose Croix, No. 1, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, held a statutory meting in the rooms of the Rite, 908 and 910 Pennsylvania avenue north- west, last evening, E. J. Pullman, wise master, presiding. The lights were extin- guished in due and ancient form, in com: memoration of the last days of the Savior of men upon earth, and the feast of the Paschal lamb, or mystic banquet, partaken of. A young lamb forms a portion of the feast. After the close of the sacred serv- ices, the members adjourned to the ban- quet rcom, where a repast was served, speeches made, and good fellowship pre- vailed. Sunday evening the services will close with an illustrated lecture and service, un- der the direction cf the Rev. A. G. Rogers, in the Church of Our Father, 13th and L streets northwest.
