Sound Money Likely to Control the Gathering—Some Prebable Can- didates for Congress. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 4.—The recent letter of Mr. Carlisle has had the effect of solidifying both the free silver and sound money factions of the party; and under the banner of “Carlisle and sound money,” the latter are mygting quiet but strenuous efforts to swing the state into line for the Secretary of the Treasury. It will not Le dcne, however, without a struggle, for the free silver men who have denounced Car- lisie are oiling their grindstones and whet- ting their knives for the distinguished Kentuckian. The democratic executive committee has decided to hold the state convention at Lexington June 3. The basis of representa- tion will be one vote for each 200 cast for governor last year, or for President in isv2. In this, as in other matters before the committe2, the sound money men were victorious, as they stood 7 to 3. Lexington defeated Louisville and Frankfort, but it was not a free silver victory, as three sound money men voted for the blue grass city. Another victory for the sound-money men was the decision to hold a mass con- vention in each county. The free silver people preferred pri- maries. Active political work has begun throughout the state. The general feeling is that the sound money element will gon- trol, but by a narrow margin, and only af- ter fierce inter-party strife in the different counties. ngressional Candidates. Congressional candidates are bobbing up ip every district, and the determination of the free silver men to fight for every crumb is clearly evident. Down in the first, Con- gressman Hendrick, the sound money man, will have for his opponents for the demo- cratic nomination two free silver men, ex- Congressman William J. Stone and Henry George. With the free silver forces divide: which they will be, unless George wit draws, which he says he will not, the in- dications are that Mr. Hendrick will re- celve the Indorsement. The nomination is equivalent to an election. In the second district, Dr. Clardy, free silver, will doubtless be renominated with little or no oppositicn. In the third the free: silver democrats are urging ex-Congressman I: H. Goodknight, who is one of the strongest men in that section, to entef the race, claiming that he elone is able to defeat Dr. Godfrey Hunter. In the fourth district it is thought Con gressman Lewis, a republican, will be op- posed by either Alex. Montgomery, Judge Jchn H. Fulton of Nelson county, or David R, Murray of Cloverport. The sound money men in the fifth, the Louisville district, will probably unite upon A. S. Willis. Col. Thomas H: Sherley of the democratic national committee ts the only arnounced candidate, but it is not thought he can secure the nomination, or, if nomi- rated, can defeat Walter Evans, the pres- ent republican member, though’ it is con- ceded Mr. Evans ts doomed, the republican splits and A. P. A.'ism having sealed his doom. In the sixth it is thought Col. Al. Berry will go through without trouble. In Breckinridge’s District. In the seventh one carnot predict with any certainty. Congressman Owens is an arrounced candidate to succeed himself, ahd the friends of Col. Breckinridge are by ro means idle. It would not be surprising to see the same bitter fight of two years ago repeated this summer. Congressman MgCreary has declined to re-enter the copgressional fight in the eighth, and two candidates are in the field tively at work to secure the democratic omination, Pryor Foree of Shelby county and Jokn Sam Owsley of Lincoln. In addi- tlon to these, the sound money men may bring forward W. G. Welch of Lincoln, while the silver men will pick on Judge Robert J. Breckinridge of Danville or John B. Thompson of Mercer. in the ninth district democrats may pit Warren Larue Thomas against Congress- man Pugh. In the tenth William B. Beckner, will be nominated, Judge Cooper of Monigomery ccunty, his strongest opponent, having withdrawn from the race on account of ill health. Congressman Colston will have little trou- ble in the eleventh. Del ‘gaten-at-Large. Delegates to Chicago will be chosen, if the sound money men control the Lexing- ton convention, from these gentlemen: Ex-Gov. Simon B. Buckner, John F. Hager, R. T. Tyler, Wilbur F. Brower and Judge Willis Reeves. The free silver forces, if they are on top, will make delegates froin the state-at-large of Senator Joe Black- burn, P. Wat. Hardin, John Young Brown and one of the following: Urey Woodson of Owensboro’, Ollie James or John S. Rhea. SSS Congratulating the Administration. From the New York Mail and Express.

AN OFFIC! He Could Not Control His Temper in Court. William J.

There he found a number of colored men on the street engaged in a quarrel, and there was an audience of more than two dozen men, women and children as spectators. A youfg colored man named Altred Reed seemed to be the principal in the affair, and he was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. Then the crowd volunteered to hold court and try the case there on the street, but Judge Kimball was at home in bed, and the case could not be properly tr! For this reason the policeman insisted on pro- ceeding In tne proper way, while the crowd insisted on releasing the prisoner. Some bard substance, possibly a botule, was thrown, and one woman said she heard somebody in the crowd say: ‘Kill the po- liceman.”” There was something of a strug- gle, and then Reed walked away a free man. But his f@edom was of short dura- tien, for when the policeman discharged his revolver to frighten the crowd, he did not do so in vain, and soon afterward Reed was agair in custody. The crowd had fol. lowed the officer and his prisoner, and sev. eral stones were thrown. Percy Brock wa. taken to the station with Reed and charg- ed with disorderly conduct, while James Freeman and Charlotte Scott were charged with an assault on the officer. The assault case was heard in Judge Miller's court. Nearly a dozen witnesses were heard in | the case, and Lawyer Holland proceeded with the argument. He‘referred to a case Policeman Barbee had had in court, and in order to reflect on the officer, he said that the court threw out the case. This reference to him offended the offi- cer, who, addressing his remarks to coun- sel, remarked: “If you're a liar, I'm not.” “What's that you said?” Lawyer Holland asked. ‘The officer repeated the remark twice, and when Judge Miller understood what he said, fined him $10 for contempt. “We've had enough of this business in cecurt,” said the judge, “and I'll either break it up, or somebody will go to jail un- til his hair is gray.” Then the court directed that the officer be made to pay the fine or be put in the dock, The fine, which was reduced to $5, was paid, and he was released. The two defendants mentioned were fined $20 or sixty days each. Brock and Reed were tried before Judge Kimball on a charge of disorderly conduct. Brock was dismissed and Reed's personal bonds were taken. —_——___ Lone Star Beneficial Association. The eighteenth annual excursion of the Lone Star Beneficial Association took place yesterday to beautiful River View. In spite of the bad and rainy weather, nearly 1,500 Beople paid a visit to the View during the day in the three trips made by the steamer Samuel J. Pentz. The main attraction to the visitors was the new “chute” which Capt. Randall is erecting for the entertain- ment of the Washington people this sum- mer. The amuseménts on the grounds af- forded excursioniSts an opportunity to try their skill at the “shuffle board,” shooting gallery anc bowling alley, and all were well patrcnized. Chris. Arth, jr.'s, full orches- tra, augmented by a number of additional pieces, rendered a fine concert, and the ex- cursionists were safely landed at the Pengz's wharf on the last trip home short- ly after 10 o'clock, greatly delighted with their day's outing. Much of the success of the excursion is due to the cammittee hav- ing it in charge—Megsrs. Charles Dietz, M. Hoyberger, F. Waterholder, Louis Ghizelli, Fred. Ruppertus, John Kenney, George Kenney, Rudolph Riggel, George King and John Vierbuchen. Next Sunday the Arion Singing Society will give its annual ex- cursion to River View. = ——__- Women of the Pres: At a mecting of the Woman’s National Press Association, held at the Riggs House, it was decided to extend courtesies to the women connected with the press who would visit Washington during the Christian En- deavor convention in July, and to open headquarters for the purpose at No. 619 F street northwest, to be in charge of a com+ mittee, consisting of Mrs. Belva A.

According to a cablegram from Managua, Nicaragua, received -here!' from private sources, the rebellion qiioh has raged in that country for the past four months, has been brought to an end by the surrender Sunday night of the rebel forces, whose headquarters were at Leon. ‘There are hints that further trouble may ensue, how- ever, unless considerable concessions are made by President Zelaya to the conserva- tive Interests. During the rebellion, which was caused by the demands of a large ele- ment in the liberal party, now in power, upon President Zelaya, which he refused to concede, the conservatives stood by the President, making certain conditions as the price for their support.

ALEXANDRI The Neleon Murder Trial Has Been Post- . ’ Seaid) Other Mattters of Interest From Down ~ the River Told in Brier Paragraphs. ‘The case of John Nelson, the Jackson City gambler who was recently indicted in the Alexandria county court for the murder of Benjamin Hines, a negro deputy, fn Jack- son City, a short while ago, was called in the Alexandria county court this morning and continued, upon the request of the com- monwealth attorney, until May 27. The continuation was granted on account of the absence of several material witnesses. Shooting Affair. It was reported on the streets yesterday afternoon that Keeper Smith of the work house had shot Robert Taylor, alias “Arch- angel,” a notcrious negro, who is an inmate there. Sergeant Smith, accompanied by Mayor Thompson, upon hearing the rumor, went immediately there, when they found that, although Taylor had not been shot, it was not the fault of Keeper Smith, for he shot at him three times. It appears that ‘Taylor became very unruly a few days ag: and was locked up in a close cell. Whi confined there he completely demolished all the cell furniture. Yesterday he became yery abusive to Mrs. Smith, wife of the keeper, which so incenced the husband that he drew his pistol and began firing at hin, Mr. Smith, in conversation with The Star man yesterday, ‘said that -he was afraid of ‘Taylor, and that he believed that he wouid make his escape at the first oportunity and fire the building. The affair will be invest:- gated. Foreign Books Open Asaph. The attorneys for the Virginia Jockey Club held a long conference in this city Saturday, and, after examining the rece: decision of the Court of Appeals, in the Lacy case, deciled that under the decision the Jockey Club is authorized to resume, and today the foreign book at the St. Asaph track will be opened for business. Racing will be resumed at St. Asaph at a later date, after the meetings at the Maryland's tracks are over. Police Court.

Yesterday afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, there came very nearly being a race riot. Catherine Timbers, colored, went to the house of Mrs. William Bag- gott, on “Vinegar Hill,” and began abusing her. Mrs. Gaggott’s husband was not at heme at the time, but heard of the affair shortly afterward. When he went home he found t and her “best | man,” Lewis on his pavement. He ordered them aw ing and cursing him, and Carrington as- seulted him with a broken beer bottle, cut- ting his head very badly. In a short while there were 900 people, both white and eclored, congregated there, and but for the prompt appearance, of the police, there would doubtless have been more serious trcuble. . > Protect the Foolixh. To the Faitor of The Evening Star While the District authoritie regulations to prevent “sc are making ching” by a certain class of bicyclers, wouldn't it be well for them to extend their protection over another class who seem incapable of self-protection? I refer to those who mak a practice of endangering their own If by persistently riding on the car tracks. large proportion of our bicycle riders, under the mistaken idea that a pound of weight makes an appreciable difference in the run of a machine, now discard the mud guards. The result is that on occasions when the streets are wet, the slightly elevated and better drained p8rtion of the street occu- pied by cable car tracks is a favorite “‘path- way” with this ciass of riders, The fact that a rainfall makes the pavements pecially slippery and increases enormously the chances of accident, dues not seem to deter these reckless riders, who are the more persistent as the danger increases, sticking ciose to the car tracks, riding just alongside passing trains and even between them, when a slight obstruction or sudden mishap might cavse the wheel to slip on the wet pavement and throw them under the car wheels.

In the af- ternoon Mr. Aitken preached to men only, his subject being “Judgment to Come.” In the evening he spoke to lukewarm Chris- tians, and urged the unconverted not to wait for a convenient season, but to sur- render to God at once. Bishop Satterlee commended the missioner and his work and pronounced the benediction. An interesting account of -nission and educational work in Chile was given last evening in the Metropolitan M. E. Church by Rev. Ira H. LaFetra, president of the Santiago College, and presiding elder of the ‘Chile district. Mr. La Fetra is on his way to the general conference in Cleveland. —_——>__ Was a Missionary.

But there was ho proof that he was engaged in the policy business.
