THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1896-SIXTEEN PAGES, THE B. AND O, VIADUCT Its Location a Matter of Vital Interest at Kendall Green. President Gallaudet Objects to Two Routes and Asks Adherence to the Plan of Four Years Ago. ‘The District Commissioners have receive1 a letter from President E. M. Gallaudet of the Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb urging action by Congress against two routes of entrance to the city and along the one route proposed by the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company four years ago. The letter is as follows:, 5 “I read with great Interest a few days since in The Evening Star an account of the plans and purposes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company as to its terminal arrangements in Washington, a matter in which, very naturally, the oflicers of this institution have a very lively con- cern. > “I noticed with disappointment, and no little surprise, that the present plans of the company included the retention of its old line from Baltimore along the east s$de and near the south front of the grounds of this institution. “In all discussions of the concessions which the government of the United States might be reasonably expected to make to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company as te its permanent terminus in the capital city, the directors of this institution have urged that the company might properly be required to join its two lines at a point north of the grounds of this institution, coming into the city over the tracks of what has been known as the Metropolitan branch. This arrangement has beeu de- manded by the citizens of Northeast Wash- irgton, and also by your honorable board, in the interest of the city and District. “To any one who will give the subject even a cursory consideration this will seem a small thing to ask of the railroad com- pany when it is proposed that the govern- ment shall allow it to retain its present location for a station, almost under the walls of the Capitol, and to occupy with a permanent viaduct one of the great avenues of the city, through its entire length, as a means of approach. It is difficult to con- ceive that such privileges would be accord- ed to a railroad company in any European capital. certainly not without some very material return on the part of the com- pany. It is maintained in the article I have alluded to that a junction of the two lines of the railroad north of the grounds of this institution would involve engineering dif- ficulties so serious as to make the plan {m- practicable. About four years ago, when the question of railroad terminals was oc- cupying the attention of Congress, the Bal- timore and Ohio company proposed a con- necting route directly across the grounds of this institution. Our directors remon- strated so strongly against this plan that the engineers of the railroad were directed to seek for a line of junction further north, and surveys having been made, I received the following letter from the chief engineer of the company: ““BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY, OFFICE OF CHIEF ENGINEER, BALTIMORE, January 29, 1891. “Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, Presiden’ ““Dear Sir: I have had the line exam- ined which will throw the connection be- tween our Washington and Metropolitan branches north of the property of the Co- lumbla Institution, and beg to advise that we will adopt a line north of your prop- erty, and will rot pass through your prop- erty at all. You can state this officially to your board, and I am glad to be able to comply with your wishes in this respect.

New National Theater.—Miss Della Fox appeared last night at the National Theater in “Fleur-de-Lis,” the opera in which she was seen last January, and she was just as sprightly and attractive as ever. She can’t sing a little bit, but she makes a bold at- tempt. Jeff de Angelis and Alf Whelan furnish the fun in the opera, and they do their work well.

Academy of Music.—A play that made people laugh so that they forgot the wea- ther was warm was that at the Academy last night. It was “A Happy Little Home,” a society comedy with specialties intro- duced. The plot is that of the gay old hus- bard with a jealous wife, and fondness for champagne and coryphees, and how to fool her makes the play. The gay husband was Harry Hotto, and his wife was Blanche Chapman, whom we all know. She played the part In excellent taste, and sang to an encore or two in the specialties. The center of the play was George W. Monroe, who is a natural comedian. As Owen More he agreed to impersonate Mrs. Magruder, an Irish lady of spiritualistic leanings, who was to take the position of housekeeper for Mrs. Gayfeather (Blanche Chapman.) He made of Mrs. Magruder a character which set the ehouse roaring, but it was not throughout an artistic piece of work by any means, as it might easily be made, and as it was at times. Mr. Monroe Is really funny by nature, and an actor who is that way has a tendency to always overdo his comedy. Another character unusually handsome and shapely was the premiere Ganseuse of Miss Dorothy Drew. Nick Long’s Frenchman was well done. Kernan’s .Lyceum Theater.—The London Galety Girls made their first appearance this season at Kernan’s last night before a good-sized audience. The company is con- sidered better than ever, and the score of pretty girls who dance and sing are really the attraction. The performance opens with a burlesque, entitled “A Reception to King Kokomo,” and {s quite funny. The girls appear in force, and the comedians work hard io share the honors with them. Miss Dot Lathrop proved herself a clever little soubrette, and George Graham, a Wash- ington boy, won new friends in his mono- logue specialty. The Fergusons contrib- uted an Irish sketch, and the Chapelle Sisters sang themselves into favor. The acrobatic tramp, “as delineated by Eddie O'Dell, was excellent, and the afterplece, “A Tramp Astronomer,” above the aver- age. Judge Tourgee’s Lecture.—Judge Albion W. Tourgee delivered a lecture last even- ing before a large audience at the Israel (colored) M. Church, corner of Ist and B streets southwest, on the development of the colored race during the last seventy- five years. The lecture was given for the benefit of the church. Representative Geo. W. Murray of South Carolina introduced Judge Tourgee. Barnum and Bailey’s Circus.—For two hours last evening a solid mass of humanity poured through the approaches leading to 3d and P streets, where the circus is holding forth, and by 8 o'clock every inch of space of the seating capacity of the Lig tent where thé performance takes place, and every available foothold in the menagerie tent was choked up with a struggling, dense throng. This is easily the banner year in attend- ance of any circus that has ever come to Washington, and the management of the show is shaking hands with itself all around over the proceeds of yesterday's two per- formances, and the likelihood of another big. haul today. The crowd was good-natured, however, for everybody was going to the circus; and, although babies screamed some- times with anger, and more often with de- light, and men punched each other in the ribs, the utmost good feeling prevailed, and all were seated comfortably, in a circus sense, when the performance began. The animals that Barnum & Lailey have secured make up one of the finest collections ever seen here, the glaatess gorilla Johanna attracting the attention of every beholder. In the same tent with the animals is a col- lection of ethnological subjects, which give a performance in front of a Buddhist tem- ple that is edifying and entertaining. The native dances are given, and the queer do- ings of the people aroused considerable en- thvsiasm among the spectators last evening. This performance was given in the me- nagerie tent, while waiting for the big show to begin. Of course, the everlasting side show is on hand, and the cries of ‘Don't for- get the concert after the performance, ladies and gentlemen,” were familiar to most every one present. In the snow proper there are seventeen displays, as they ure called, the most of them taking up all three rings and the two stages at th me iime. When there was an especiul!y good act, however, such as Prof. O° and his fifty-one thoroughbred horses, as given as a single number, and was enjoyed a great deal more by the crowd in consequence. Prof. O'Brien showed wonderful skill in managing the great num- ber of equine wonders, and the ring in which the act took plaze presented a veritable pyramid of horseflesh, Prof. O'Brien on a beautiful gray stallion forming the apex. The Ferdinand Glinseretti family of acro- bats also enjoyed the space alone and gave a finished turn. Of course, the usual fi tures of the circus were present, riding, ariel acrobatics, races, clowns and such, only bet- ter than ever before seen here. In the alr the Zedoras, the Silboas and ihe Dunbars gave a thrilling and graceful act that has never been excellad by any company of circus performers, while in the rings the Meers sisters, Misses Marie ard Ouika Rose Wentworth, William Showles and M Nellie Reed gave an exhibition of bareback riding that was marvelous in its grace and skill. One of the features was the human arrow act by Alar, one of the Zedoras, who is shot from an immense bow gun through a target and finally into the arms of her sister, hanging from a trapeze many feet above her. Several high dives were also made that excited the wonder of the spec- tators. The La Mont family and a nu of other well-trained acrobats gav ve turns in tumbling on the ground, waile the usual springboard tumbling over elephants was above the average degree of excellence. One of the most mysterlous of all the turns was Leon La Rocha and bis ball, In which he ascended and descended a spiral stairc A turn that excited general laughte: that of the baby clephants, although several groups of trained animals, such as pigs and dogs, vied with them In’ securing general attention. The clowns ure above the usual standard of the cireus clown, the show pos- sessing the only female clown in existence, Evetta. Taken all together, the “greatest show on earth” certainly does not belie its name, and not one of the many thousands that entered the big tent yesterday at any time during the day or this afternoon felt that his or her money had been badly ex- pended. Dr. Talmage's Lecture.—Rey. T. De Witt Talmage will deliver his new lecture, Journey Around the World,” at Grand Opera House next Friday even ing, May 15th, for the benefit of the Gar- field Memorial Hospital.

Rev. Mr. Ennis’ Illustrated Lectures.— Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis will deliver a course of two lectures tomorrow evening and Friday, May 15, at the Eastern Pres- byterian Church, 6th street and Maryland avenue northeast, his subject being founded upon Mark Twain's “Innocents Abroad.” The lectures will be illustrated, and the two subjects will be, Wednesday, “Through Europe With Mark Twain,” and Friday, “In the Holy Land With Mark Twain.” The first one embraces a trip through Spain, France, Italy, Greece and ‘Turkey, while the second one 1s a journey through Palestine and Egypt, both being handsomely pictured on the canvas. Rev. Mr. Ennis is achieving a name as a lec- turer, and thcse who know his abilities have already secured tickets for the course. In his first lecture Mr. Ennis will introduce a realistic effect in connection with the de- struction of Pompeii, exhibiting a set of slides possessed by no other lecturer on the American platform, and in the one on Friday night he will present reproductions of some of the master pieces of art of the ancient and modern school. —>—— Business Woman's Club Election. The Business Woman’s Club, at their an- nual meeting elected the following officers: President, Miss Amy C. Leavitt; vice presi- dent, Miss Mary M. McKinstry; recording secretary, Miss Annie E. Trumbull; corres- ponding secretary, Mrs. F. A. Johnston; treasurer, Miss Lida C. Tullcch. Dr. Clara Bliss Finley, the retiring: president, was in- eligible to re-election—having served two terms—and the board of governors tender- ed her a vote of thanks for the faithful- ness with which she had administered the affairs of her office. After the election, the board appointed the standing committees, and thus inaugurated the work for -the coming year, which promises to be a pros- perous one for this club of busy women. ——.—__. Milk Cases. Several cases involving alleged violations of the milk law were heard in Judge Kim- ball’s court yesterday. George Carter of Ivy City was charged with adulterating milk. The evidence of Prof. Hird was to the effect that the analysis showed an adul- teration by the use of water of about 25 per cent. Mr. Carter was certain that the milk which he sold had not been adulter- ated, but the court held him guilty, and imposed a ten-doller fine. The other defendants in milk-law viola- tions were Harry L. Alden, J. F. Riordan, Wm. Stockman, Alexander Mowatt, J. W. Snitman and Charles Mercer. They were charged with failing to have their skimmed milk cans marked, and were fined $5 each. CHRISTIANJENDEAVORERS Interesting Meetingyof the Committee. of 06 Last Night. Corcoran Art Gallery to Be Free to Visiting Delegnates—Many More Subscriptions: Received. Last night's regular: weekly meeting of the Christian Endeavor committee of ‘96 was held in the new headquarters rooms, 1327 F street. The jreports of the chair- men of the different subcommittees were received, and showed encouraging progress in the work of arranging for the gathering hosts. Additional subscriptions to the amount of over $1,000 were reported, mak- ing a total citizens’ fund of over $7,000. The chorus enrollment was shown to be within 400 of the desired membership of 4,000, and a number of appointments and assign- ments were made. A letter was read from Mr. F. 8. Bar- barin, curator of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, stating that it was the intention of the trustees of the gallery to keep the building open until after the adjournment of the Christian Endeavor Convention, and that free admission would be granted during any day to all visiting Endeavorers who come wearing the convention badge. An Emergency Hospital. An offer on behalf of the Washington Homeopathic Medical Society was made to establish a tent near the convention meeting places, so that free medical at- tention can be supplied to any who may need it. The society has appointed a com- mittee to confer with the:committee of '96, and will gladly establish ample and cozy quarters, where emergency cases can be cared for and where homeopathic medi- clnes can be supplied. One or more physi- cians will be on duty during the week, at such hours as may be thought advisable. An offer for professional services was also received from Dr. Edwin M. Hasbrouck. Hats for Committee Members. It was recommended by the decorations committee, and the recommendations adopted by the committee of '96, that a white straw hat be used by all male mem- bers of the reception, entertainment, press and excursion committees,with a red,white and Flue ritbon exterding around the en- tire hat, with the name of the committee on the white stripe in clear black letters. Members of the press, excursion and cen- tral committees will be further designated by the word “staff” following the name of the committee. The lady members of the committees will wear white straw sailors, with red, white and blue bands, with the same wordirg as for the male members. Miss Anna J. Bell of Calvary Baptist Church ‘was elected vice chairman of the reception ccmmittee in charge of the church work; Rev. C. H.

Chase, vice chalrman of the reception committee in charge of the railroad station work; Miss Susanne Moore of Vermont Avenue christian Church was appointed on the staff of the church section of the reception committce; Mr. D. Fulton Harris was ap- pointed a member of the press committee. Before the committee adjourned the mem- bers were very pleasantly surprised by the appearance of a porter bearing plates of ice cream ard cake, supplied by Treasurer P. S. Foster. The blocks of cream were in various shapes, emblematic of the different occupations of the various committees. Cards, with appropriate mottoes fur each chairman, accompanied the ice cream. The committee decided to hold its recep- tion In the new headquarters Friday even- ing, May 22, and the arrangements for this event were placed in the charge of the church section of the reception committee.

Libbey & Co., 6th and N.Y. ave.—Advt. eee ee Bicycle Regulations, Prosecuting Attorney Pugh repeated his warning to wheelmen yesterday. The law imposes upon cyclists certain restrictions intended to protect those who do not ride. These provisions of law Mr. Pugh says must be obeyed or he will see that the violators are prosecuted when the cases come to court. ; “I think the community owes Police- man Boyce a vote of thanks,” said the prosecutor, “‘for he is the only one of five hundred policemen who has undertaken to enforce the wise law which requires that bells shall be attached to cycies.”” Judge Kimball said he hoped the officers would take notice of the prosecutor's re- marks. Under this law the lowest fine is $5, and those who come before the court are usual- ly fined this amount. William Mantz, Nor- man Webster. 8. M. Lee and William Ran- dall appeared yesterday, and each paid the amount mentioned. John Howell and Edward Jones did not respond, and their collaterals, $5 each, were forfeited. Ross Fernow, Geo.

The objecticns to the indictment were mainly those urged against those in the clecmargarine cases recently tried, but sev- eral new ones were raised, the defendants insisting that the indictment charges no offense and is therefore fatally defective. Judge Cole reserved his decision, but the government 1s confident that the indict- ment will be sustained. If that is done the defendants will be given an early trial. —_— Gambling Game. Joseph Costack, a Turk, who says his wife and children live in Virginia, was arrested in the crowd at the circus grounds yester- day on a charge of violating the gambling law. He was conducting what is known as the marble game, a game by which he was a@ sure winner each time, merely taking down five cents while the winner got the other five cents in the game. Three mar- bles were used in the game, and each player paid five cents. The winner, the one roll- ing the highest number, took a dime, while the Turk took the other five cents. When arrested the Turk claimed he was innocent, saying he had paid a man for the privilege of conducting the game. In Virginia, he said, he paid a license for the _privile: but was told he was not required to ¢ a license here. In court today he was charzed with setting up a gaming table. Detectives Rhodes and Whelan witness2d the game, and the former played five cents, in order to get proof. He got the winning marble. Policeman Cooper then made the arrest. Judge Miller heid the Turk for the action of the grand jury. > Accuses His Wife. John H. Bause the 11th of last January made Jennie Nalls his wife. Now he has petitioned the Equity Court to sever the matrimonial bonds which since then have icined them together. Until the Sth of last month they lived together, when,Mr. Bause claims, his wife visited a house of ill repute with one Charles Leeds, and there commit- ted adultery with the said Li He re- fused to longer live with his wife, says Mr. Bause, and she then complained to the Capital Traction Company, by whom he Was employed, that he refused to support her and their child, which was born to them about a month after their marriage. The company, he complains, thereupon dis phagged him without properly investigating into™the case. He says that his wife is not @ proper person to have the custody of the child, and prays that it be placed in some suitable asylum. Attorneys Flora & Rupli represent the complainant. ——. —_ Society Incorporated. Articles incorporating the Marist Society have been filed here by John E. Gunn, and John M.
