Donoghue Smashes a Record, and ~ the Brownies Race. THE PRIZES AWARDED Washington has certainly experienced no dearth of masked events during the past winter. There have been fancy dress balls galore, and, in years gone by, sleighing car- nivals on the avenue. However, in the neighborhood of 2,000 persons last evening had the ‘privilege of witnessing an enter- tainment as unique as any ever attempted in the city. It was the ice carnival given for the benefit of the Home for Incurables at Convention Hall, the largest inclosed th- door ice surface in the world, and was in every particular a comrlete and gratifying success—so much so that Manager Towers has decided to repeat the carnival Saturday evening. It was by all means a gala ovcasion at the ice palace. Special decorations in the way of immense flags of all nations were sus- pended from the arched ceiling in six rows, diverging from the center, and around the sides of the ice boxes had been constructed, the partitions draped with bunting. Flower with attendants in bright-tolored gowns, were situated near the entrance, and over the whole myriads of incandescent electric lights, with vari-colored globes, shed a soft glow. = Society was out in force. Every box was filled, and every chair on the main floor and in the gallery held an occupant, while scores were unable to find seats. Several of the foreign legations, including that of China, were represented. A Record Smashed. Long before $ o'clock queer-looking people put In an appearance, and the sidewalk out- side the hall was blocked with an interested throng, gathered to view the <urious ar- rivals. However, no one was allowed on the ice except as provided en the program. The first event of the evening was an attempt by Joseph F. Donoghue to lower the world's skating record of 9 minutes and 2 seconds for three miles. The champion was greeted with applause when he moved about the sheet of ice for a preliminary warming up, and the cheering increased during the pro- gress of the race aginst time. The record Was smashed into smithereens, so to speak, Donoghue last evening completing the thir- tleth lap in 8 minutes 11% seconds. Decidedly amusing was a “brownie” race, open to boys under sixteen years of age. First to take the ice was a diminutive po- liceman, who, to quote a lady in one of the boxes, was “just too cute for anything.” The little chap, who was Jack Mace, had as much as he could do to move about, but, nevertheless, handled a _policeman’s club almost as large as himself witn agility. Suddenly it seemed as though Palmer Cox had dumped his complete outfit of noted Brownie characters onto the pond, and memory naturally recalled the familiar stories and illustrations of the queer band of little folks. On runners, as realistic as could be, were the dude, the Dutchman, Uncle Sam, the Indian and seven others, the | bona fide names of the group being Frank Ay Edmonds, Harry Johnson, Irving Totten, Paul White, W. Pain, M. Foley, F. Eurke, W. Towers, John Bennzit, Thomas Morri- son and J. Leo Cassin. At the sound of a pistol the start was made, and such a scramble foliowed duriag the covering of the half 2 mile! Uncle Sam and the dude collided, and the Indian tripped and fell, several of the others going over him. They all picked themselves up and bravely con- tinued the race, but the dude, J. Leo Cassin, proved an easy winner, and was rewarded with a pair of club skates. Maskers on the Ice. Next the masked skaters en masse were admitted, and the scene that followed was indeed kaleidoscopic. Two little girls In blue meved along beside a poor little country maid, who, from her looks, had never seen the streets of Cairo or any other city. An ice king, very gorgeous in his make-up, glided near a very chilly Night, who was favored with the company of a couple of knighgs. Du Maurier's great idea, Trilby, was not absent, and with her was a Sver gali who could put Wilton Lackaye to blush. This pair caused considerable amusement by their hypnotic experiments, while sev- eral other Svengalis were in evidence. A group of ye maids of ve olden thyme Icoked aghast at a new woman in bloomers, and were evidently not pleased with a Bowery “goil’ who chewed gum and said “See?’ A countryman with hayseed sprouting be- neath his hat was exceedingly curious, and evidently did not know what to make of a convict in a striped suit skating placidly along with a big polizeman. A pair of Cubans waved the Cuban flag in defiance at two Spaniards, but seemed on good terms with every Uncle Sam they passed—and he was sufficiently numerous to rule the entire globe, with several planets to boot. Some Unique Characters. A group ef three rabbits, one emerging from an imitation egg shell, was a feature of the carnival, as was an immense sleigh, with the Brownies as motive power, con- taining the “Madrid” Quartet, which play- ed popular selections on stringed instru- ments as the sleigh pulled along. ‘Then there were ladies and gentlemen of the court, court jesters and court plaster on the faces of foot ball players; cowboys, sports, coachmen, flower girls, Shakespear- ian characters without number, Follys, Spanish students, a Delft, jockeys, gipsies, princesses, kings and queens of all na. tionalities; firemen, soldiers, devils and imps, aliers, clowns, tramps, Indians and Indian squaws, with a papoose or two; Chinamen, a wild man of Borneo, dudes, ballet girls, sailors, Aztecs, Cossacks, ath- letes, sunflowers, Scottish lads and lassies, Japanese, Mexican vaqueros and almost every other character imaginable. Finally the masqueraders were formed in line for a grand march, and a series of pleasing maneuvers followed, during which the column psssed several times before the judges, Mr. S. 8S. Howland, Mr. John A. Baker, Major Alfred Taylor, U..S. A.; Mr. Heary May and Lieut. Scheutz, U.S.A., who were stationed in one of the central boxes. During the march much merriment was caused by the antics of apparent novice, who, In his efforts to retain a foot- ing, threatened to destroy surface of the ice. After unmasking the supposed novice proved ta be Champion Joe Dono- ghue. The Prises Awarded. The prize for handsomest lady’s costume, the choice of a lady's bicycle or skating costume, was awarded to Miss Erdman, whose attire was of white, with spangles. ‘The most original lady’s costume was de- clared to be that worn by Miss L. Z. Hulme, and was of white, with a profusion of natural violets, the prize awarded being a lady’s gold watch. The Mephistopheles of Mr. E.P.Jasper, as the handsomest gentleman's costume, won the choice of a bicycle or skating sult, while Mr. P. D. Lewis, as a tramp, carried off a pair of ‘best Barney & Berry club skates. Norris Walsh, as a brownie, had the best boy's costume, and received a pair of skates. ‘The judges regretted that there was not a prize which could be awarded to Mr. Paul Evans, who appeared as a new wo- man. The rabbits and the musical quartet > boy large sleigh were honorably men- ion : After the award of prizes every one who so desired was allowed to skate, and until 11 o'clock the inclosure was crowded. Much surprise resulted when the masks were removed and tke identity of the skaters disclosed. The carnival was a grat- ifying success, socially and financially, and as a result the-Home for Incurables is many dollars better off. To mark the close of the ice palace for the season © Towers, as stated, has decided to repeat the carnival rot | evening. The admission will be 50 cents, include all seats in the hall, the use of skates and the {te privilege. Joe je this evening at §& o'clock will endeavor to lower the world’s record for one mile; tomorrow evening, for one end one-half miles; Saturday, at 8 o'clock, the record for three-quarters of « mile, and Saturday evening, for one and THE EVENING STAR, one-half miles. He will also meet all com- ers. & bwo-ant half-mile -race_ at 9 oe Sai evening, allowing handi- x od Mimor Police Court Onses Heard and ' Settled Today. -Ten men and one woman made up Judge Kimball's list of callers this morning. “And,” said Policeman Flynn, “there are only two old-timers in the party. They are Spicer Dennis and John Ryan, and they were rather high-toned because they had a little mone: Spicer was not satisfied with what was given him to eat. He wanted pie, and he got it. Ryan bought a cigar to enjoy an after breakfast smoke. icer is the man who cleaned out the Central Union Mission several days ago and then tried to take all the rolls and coffee intended for the prisoners in court. ‘Two days ago Spicer -actually did some work. He put in a load of wood for a lady, and when he saw Policeman Flynn come along he called him over to see him work- ing, as he thought he might need him as a witness later on. “T’se guilty of !oud talking,” he answered, when arraigned, “but, judge, my honor, you ought to ’scuse me dis time cause I'se iow a workin’ man, and kin prove it by -Policeman Flynn. Patsy Mann’s got me working cleanin’ off de fish wharf, and Please don’t send a workin’ man down. I ax yer dis favor jes’ once, and if you let me oft I won't. take another drap.”” ‘ou’ve been here too many times, Spi- the court told him, “and you will have to pay the fine or go down.” John Ryan, who is a tinner, next appear- ed, and the charge against him was va- grancy. “I found him in Willett & Libbey’s lum- ber yard, where he was sleeping.” “Drunk again, I suppose?” “I was drunk when I went in there, tory.” “Can you remain at liberty ten days with- out getting drunk?” “I think so.” T'll only give you forty-eight hours this time, an@ I know this is the lightest sen- tence you have ever received. : Other Cases. William Gee was the only Georgetown representative in the little party. He is a young colored man, and when he appeared he sald: “I’m guilty, but I ask for mercy.” “Same old thing, I suppose?” queried the court. “Yes, judge, I was drunk,” the prisoner responded. “And isn’t that always your trouble?” “Yes, sir.” : ““You will have to pay a fine or go down.” John Hutchinson was brought in from the other end of the District, Good Hope Hill. Policeman Branson complained that Hut- chinson, whose face and hands were al- most black for lack of water on them, is a victim of strong drink. ‘He has been sleeping in hay ricks about Good Hope,” said the officer, “and people are afraid he will set fire to the hay.” John made a denial, and the case went over to get additional proof. Matihew Williams was far from sober when he apppeared at the rail. He would Probably have landed on his head had not Bailiff Kendig caught him and said, “Steady.” “I was drunk this morning,” the stag- gering prisoner sald, “and my face shows [There's no doubt about it,” the court said. “He was on H street near the government printing office,” said Policeman Corby, “and I tried to drive him home, but he refused to go. He made an effort to get on the street cars and fell off.” ““I was drunk,” repeated the prisoner, “but I don't remember that I was loud and boisterous.” He was fined $ or fifteen days. Nannie Barnes, colored, for being disor- derly in the “Divis‘on,” was fined the usual amount, $ or fifteen days. William Mitchell, for violating a District ordinance in Garfield Park, was fined a similar amount. a ee BICYCLE LIGHTS. Police Enforcing the Regulations Regarding Lamps. The-eppearance of good weather has the effect of increasing the number of bicycles on the streets, and night riders are also more numerous than they were in cold weather. Under the police regulations all riders are required tu have lighted lamps on their bicycles after sundown. This law is being rigidly enforced, and unless the ex- @ise is unusually good Judge Kimball im- Poses fines. George Lauer was one of the victims of the police last night. He had oil in his lamp, but there was no light to warn pedestrians of his approach. V’hen questioned he said his light had been out only a few minutes when -the officer ar- tested him. He was in the county at the time, and thought he would wait until he reached 7th sireet before he would cis- mount and relight his lamp. But a police- man met him before he reached 7th street, and arrested him. “You tcok the chances,” the judge told him, “and they were against you.” He paid a fine of $5. William Dewey, a young colored man, whose loud bicycle costume couid be seen a mile away, also had an excuse. He claim- ed that when the policeman grabbed him and pushed his wheel ov2r the ijght went out. Policeman O'Donohoe, who arrested him, denied this, and satd that ile absence of a light “had attracted his attention. it was evident that his light had been out but a short time before he was arrested, and the. court made the fine only $2. . Morgan Hoover was also arrested for failure to have a light. He id deposited $ collateral for his appearance, and this was forfeited because of his non-appear- ance. ——— GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY LECTURES.

Regular Spring Session of the Grand Commandery. The regular spring, session of the Grand Commandery of the United Order of the Golden Cross for the District of Columbia commenced last night at Golden Cross Hall, 316 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, Grand Commander Hallam presiding. The report of the grand commander showed a total membership of 1,300 in the District, of whom 211 are members of the Grand Com- mandery. Thirteen new members were in- itlated into the Grand Commandery last night. This opening session was mainly taken up with the reading of the reports of officers and committees. Besides this, reso- lutions of sympathy were passed for Knight ‘W. H. Pope, editor of Golden Cross Notes, who is lying dangerously ill, and commit- tees appointed to prepare appropriate reso- lutions as to Lady Mary J. Simonds ana Knight Henry C. Sayles, recently deceased. A recess was taken till Wednesday even_ ing, April 15, at the same hall. Supreme Commander Bangs of Augusta, Maine, has aoa that he ye a soeace at final session, wi ie elec- coe and installation of officers will take 8. THURSDAY, “APRIL IN SPORTING CIRCLES Crauaisation ot suyMochl Te Bal League. SPRING GOLF’ TOURRAMENT OPENED President Young's :+Suggestions to the Umpires. GEORGETOWN AGAIN BEATEN The City League of Amateur Base Ball Clubs was organized. for the season of 1896 at the rooms.of the Canterbury Athletic Cub last night. A forfeit of $25 was posted by each of the four clubs represented— Shamrocks, Canterbury, Eastern Athletic and Mile-Limit—binding them to play out the schedule. Officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Frederick Kneessi of the Mile-I.imit Athletic Ciub; secretary, Edward Grimes of the Eastern Athletic Club, and treasurer, Thomas Harlow of the Shamrocks. : There will be something like seventy-five epen days at National Park this season, and Mr. Strasberger, who has secured an option on the grounds, has decided to di- vide the dates equally between the city and departmental leagues. The city league meeting adjourned until next Thursday night, at the Kastern Ath- letic rooms, when final action will be taken Icoking to the admission of two additional clubs. Several applications have been re- ceived, but the Carrol] Institute and Wash- ington Athletic clubs are the ones likely to be selected. The placing of a forieit by the clubs already in the league promises per- manence. Several representative business men are back of the. movement, and suc- cess seems assured. The players on the different clubs have aspirations in the base ball arena, and hope some day to shine as professionals. Should the two clubs named enter the league an évenly matched organi- zation will be the result. MR. YOUNG TO THE UMPIRES. He Urges Them to Enforce Rules From the First Game. President N. E. Young of the National Base Ball League has issued the instruc- tlona to league umpires. He says among other things: “I shall in- sist that every umpire enforce not only the rule about fining and removing players, but every other, both in letter and spirit. If any rule is faulty the fact can only be demonstrated by its strict enforcement. It is @seless for one umpire to enforce the rules unless every one does the same. If you commence from the very first game to do your whole duty you will have little trouble in doing so during the entire sea- son, but if you do not, your trouble will have just commenced, and your usefulness as an umpire will be practically at an end. “In the discharge of your duty on the ficld you all have my unqualified support, and you are algo entitled to and I believe you will receive the support of every league official. “Be courteous to all players whenever you Tjeet them, and I would'advise that you avold familiarity withiany. With many it would be harmless, while with others it would be taken advantage of and destroy your usefulness to a great extent. You will consider all assignments as confiden- tial, as circumstances might make a change necessary at very short, notice. After game go directly to yeur hotel, as you gnay find a telegram awalting yo’ HANDICAP RAS BALL. Will Be Tried by the Senators and the Infantry Team. The Washington base-ball club will meet the Light Infantry tekm thfs afternoon at National Park. The linerup of the ama- teurs will, in all probability, be as follows: Chamberlain or Kinsjgy, catcher; Gleegon or Nicholson, pitcher; Hatry Chamberlain, first base; Harry Leach, &econd base; Phil Wisner, short stop; Bielaskl, third base, and Brown, Nugent and perhaps Kleinschmidt in the field. An effort will be made to allow the Light Infantry team four outs to an inning, in view of the fact that the boys have had no practice whatever this season. This plan will give the professionals more exercise. COLLEGE BASE BALL, Georgetown Beaten at Old Point Comfort by Yale. The Georgetown College nine suffered its second defeat of the season yesterday, los- ing to the strong Yale team by 12 to 16 at Old Point, Va. The New Haven nine was found to be altogether a different sort of article from the Yale Law School team that recently dropped three games here. The boys in blue made only 1 error, while Georgetown recorded 7. Mahoney pitched for Georgetown and Trudeau for Yale. Each side made 17 hits. University of Virginia, 18; Johns Hop- kins, 5. The University of Virginia team won a slow, uninteresting game from Johns Hop- kins at Charlottesville yesterday afternoon by the score of 18 to 5. Richmond, 4; Princeton, 1. Richmond won from Princeton by 4 to 1 in five innings yesterday. North Carolina, 8; Yale, 4. The University of North Carolina base ball team defeated Yale Tuesday by 8 to 4. Nerth Carolina won tho game in the fourth inning, ‘when they piled up six runs. The features of the game were double plays by Jobnson, Gregory and Winston for the Uni- versity of North Carolina, and by Bartlett, McCandless and Litton for Yale, and a fine running catch by Keator of Yale. Base Ball Notes, The Philadelphia base ball team yester- day defeated the Syracuse team of the East- ern League by a score of 16 to 2. Norfolk and Boston played a very unin- teresting game at Norfolk yesterday after- neon, the latter winning by a score of 17 to 6. Ted Sullivan's New Haven team defeated | Rockville yesterday by 283 to 11. The Baltimores and Petersburgs got in a Tow yesterday at Petersburg, Ana the police had to interfere. < Ladies’ Day at C. A.

This committee will treet and settle the question at an early late. RIOTING 1 OU EANA. Two. Negroes Killed and_ Several Wounded in « Political Fight. A serious riot, growing out of the regis- ‘tration troubles, occurred in St. Landry parish, Louisiana, Tuesday, in which two negroes were killed, efx or seven others wounded and many others whipped. The supervisor of registration of St. Lan- dry, having established his headquarters in Opelousas, the negroes believing that the Presence of troops there would protect them from the regulators or white suprem- acists, started in large bodies for that town. A party of a hundred negroes left Grand Prairie for Opelousas, but were intercepted about half way by a band of regulators. ‘The negroes were warned back by the regu- lators and told that they would not be al- lowed to register. ‘They attempted to pass, when they were fired upon and two killed and six or seven wounded. The others were given fifty lashes cach and returned home. The affair created a panic among the Ope- lousas negroes and only a few of them registered. A large number of citizens of Opelousas have asked that the militia be kept there until after the state election, April 21, but the Fonetenoi faction, or white supremacists, demand that the state troops be removed at once. There have been ten killed and thirteen wounded so far over the St. Landry po- litical troubles. oo. A LADY CYCLIST KILLED. Her Husband Found Her Dead in the Midst of a Crowd. Mrs. Cornelia Morse, aged thirty years, wife of Edwin F. Morse, senior member of the firm of Morse, Williams & Co. of Phila- delphia, met an appalling death yesterday. On her wheel she left ner home, at 1001 Girard avenue, with the intention of tak- ing lunch with her husband. She had gone but a short distance from the house when the horses of a heavy wagon became un- manageable and ran her down. One of the shafts of the wagcen penetrated her breast and she died almost instantly. A crowd gathered about the body and a moment later Mr. Morse, attracted by the excile- ment, pushed his way through and found the mangled body of his dead wife onthe ground before him.

Ti A terrific explosion, resulting in the kill- ing of seven men and the injuring: of sev- eral others, occurred last evening in the Canon, four miles from Ogden, Utah. The men were employed by the Pioneer Power Dam Company, and were about to prepare a blast, when a premature explosion occurred. The killed are: Daniel Morean, B. Kirk- man and George Weaver of Ogden, Nate:| Kempton, Samuel Hatfield and Jeff. Ruby of Huntsville, Utah. Several others were injured. A report was widely circulated late last night that there were over two hundred men near the scene of the accident previous to the explosion, and it is generally believed the loss of life has been far greater than at first reported. = —— or Married a Negro Freak. George R.- Williams, .a negro freak, who has pored for years in museums and side shows in New York as the “Turtle Boy,” was married Monday evening to Flossie Clark, a pretty white girl. The marriage took’ place at the residence of Rev. H. C. Bishop. Mr. Bishop, who ts colored, is pas- tor of St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church, on West 25th street. The girl had followed the dwarf from one museum to another, and seemed infatuated. Mrs. Williams, manager and foster-mother of the dwarf, said: “How a girl in her proper senses some ever marry such an object as George I cannot imagine. Why, he is an imbecile. He is childish and is not responsible for anything he says or does. He cannot read nor write, and is helpleas as a child.” Confirmed by the Senate. ‘The Senate. ig executive session, has con- firmed the following nominations: * -William A. Little of Georgia, to be as- sistant attorney general. John C. Keenan of Indiana, to be agent for the Indians of the Neahbay agency in Washingtcn. Also several postmasters. ‘The nomination of J. C.
