Plans of the Railroad Section of the Reception Committee to Wel- come the Delegates. The first information circular prepared by the excursion committee is ready for the printer, and before the week closes it is ex- pected that 10,000 of the folders will have teen issued. This leaflet will be illustrated with a number of views of Gettysburg, Mt. Vernon, Hampton, Luray and Harper's Ferry, and will give, in brief, the arrange- ments which have been concluded by the excursion committee for short side trips to these and other places of interest. Thous- ands of the delegates, after having seen something of the sights of the nation’s cap- ital during od2 moments while the conven- tion is in session, and for a day or so be- fore it beg or after it closes, will take advantage of the attraciive side excursions arranged for by the excursion committee of the committee of '95, and visit one or several of the historic or picturesque places of interest for which, through the efforts of local workers, low rates and pleasant accommodations are offered. Qu:te a num- ber of delegations wiil combine in one trip to Harper’s Ferry, Luray and tne Natvral Bridge, and others will take an excursion to Richmond, returning by way of Hamp- ton, Norfolk and Fortress Monroe. Some time in the near future another leaflet will be issued by the excursion committee, giv- ing detailed information as to the many bicycle runs which are being projecied by this committee. It is expected that very many of the delegates will bring their wheels with them, and with the supply to be obtained from local dealers, it will be possible far many more to enjoy the pleas- ures of bicycling on the city’s smooth streets and along the fine -‘oads of the suburks. To Receive the Delegates. Last evening the railroad section of the reception committee met at headquarters to make preliminary arrangements for properly carrying on its work. Rev. Chas. H. Butler presided; George W. Stone was elected secretary. It has grown into a pleasant practice at the annual conventions for incoming delegations to be met outside the convention city by specially designated members of the local societies and escorted into the city by them, thus giving the vis- itors an advance welcome on beh@if of the hosts. One of the first sights that greeted the eyes of Washington's delegation to Boston upon stepping off the steamer at Providence was a number of the white- capped members of Boston's reception com- mittee holding aloft as a token of welcome the convention flag. This Is the character of work which being planned by the local reception com. mittee. Members of the committee will be sent out to meet arriving Endeavorers from all directions. The appointment of three subcommittees was authorized last evening. The first of these will correspond with ex- cursion managers and learn when the va- rious delegations expect to arrive and over what route, and approximately how many will come in each. Another will confer with » railroad and transportation companies, he third will ascertain the time each niember of the staff can devote to the work during the opening days of the convention.

Sees EXCURSIONS, The steamer Macalester will make her first trips of the season to Indian Head this evening and tomorrow evening, leaving her wharf at 6:30 o'clock, and will continue to make these delightful runs Friday and Saturday evenings in June, and Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in Juiy, Au. gust and September, at same hour. As dur- ing past seasons, the boat will stop at Marshall Hall going and coming, affording those who desire an opportunity to enjoy good dance music by Schroeder's Band on the new pavilion until the return of the beat frem Indian Head at 9:30. Passengers going to Marshall morning of afternoon boats may avail themselves of these Indian Head trips without additional charge. On tomorrow, Saturday, will be inaugu- rated the first of the family day trips to River View, on the steamer Samuel J. Yentz, and Captain Randall has again this season made the fare 10 cents for the round trip on the 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. trips,-so that mothers can bring their little ones out for a day's outing on the Potomac. For the little ones’ benefit Captain Randall has also determined to reduce the cost of riding down the new water chute. On the 6:45 p.m. trip the fare will be as.usual. These family day excursions last year were very popular, and this year they will be made more popular. The children will be allowed the full liberty of the grounds, and can play to their hearts’ content. ees 100 ft. boards, $1; any length you want. F.

Baker, assistant examiner in the patent office, stated to a Star re- perter today that the publication of an alleged statement from him that he in- tended to enter suit against the Secretary of the Interior to prevent his removal from bis position 1s absolutely without founda- ton. He says he believes that the reporter received the information from some one who, from malicious motives, is bent on placing him tn a false and ridiculous atti- tude in his office. He says also that the repeated statements that he is a “banker” and “capitalist” have emanated from the seme source and apparently for the saine purpose. He says that he is a member of the board of directors of the Capital Sav- ings Bank, a colored Institution, organized for the purpose of developing the busitiess capabilities of his race, and that he is in no other way connected with its management. He says that The Star reporter has been misinformed generally regarding his pres- ent situation {n the office, and that the pub- lished statements about him from time to time have tended to hurt him in a position from which he has not been dismissed and which he has not resigned... => Defendant Wins, The suit of Mrs. Lily B. C. List of 1435 K street northwest ogainst Congressman Ber- ry of Kentucky, for alleged breach of con- tract, has been decided in favor of the defendant in Justice Taylor’s court. Judge O. B. Hallam represented Judge Ber- ry, while Messrs. McNally and Wheatley looked after the interests of Mrs. List. The evidence was that Congressman Berry agreed to rent of the plaintiff certain rooms for the winter, but after one month's oc- eupancy left. The defense was that the rooms were taken upon the contingency that they were acceptable. They did not prove so, and he left after one month. a The ever popular National Rifles give their annual excursion to Marshall Hall next Tuesday evening. Be sure to go and have a good time.—Advt.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1896—-SIXTEEN PAGES, THE LONGEST ROAD. ‘Washington, Alexandria and Mount ‘Vernon Line. The Washington, Alexandria and Mount ‘Vernon electric railway, which at this time is the longest electric line in the world, is with the exception of the ballasting of a Piece of track near Alexandria, Va., com- pleted, and should nothing unforeseen occur the trial trip will be made tomorrow. It is expected that a train will then leave the ‘station in this city, corner of 18% and E streets northwest, and run direct to the gate at Mt. Vernon. Should no unforeseen event occur General Manager Abbott hopes to open the road to the public Sunday morning next at_10o'clock. ‘This will not, however, be the case unless the trial trip develops that everything is in Perfect condition, so that a speed worthy of & road built in all respects to a standard steam railroad can be maintained through- out its entire length whenever it is desired to do so. The new road, with the Arlington branch, comprises 21% miles of track, and {s divided into the following sections: One mile in Washington, one mile across Long bridge, one mile to Arlington junction, to Rosslyn four miles; Arlington junction to Alex- andria, five miles; two miles in Alexandria, and from the latter to Mt. Vernon 7% miles. The line from Washington direct to Mt. Vernon is 17 miles, The entire work of construction and equipment was superintended by General Manager Abbott, and he has made use of every precaution so far developed in elec- trical railroading for rapid transit and the safety of passengers. The whole line is laid with standard rails, and ballasted with broken stone, such as is used on all the best steam railroads in the United States. There are double feed wires, double trolley wires, double trolley poles, two power houses, each doubly equipped with generators, etc.— one at Four Mile Run and the other at New Alexandria—all constructed of the best ma- terial and in the most approved manner, and with the view that should a break oc- cur to any of the machinery a duplicate of its part could be at once put into service, thus preventing any delay to trains. The movement of all the trains will be controlled by telegraph, under the block sys- tem, direct"from the general office in Wash- ington. An abundance of rolling stock has been provided to meet all demands of travel likely te be made upon the management. With the matters above mentioned in mind the officers of the road state that they feel warranted in saying that the Washing- ton, Alexandria and Mount Vernon electric railway is today the best equipped and most powerful, and that its trains will be the Speediest of any electric railway in the world. ——_~—.___ FEDERATED CLUBS.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: An elevator accident In Baltimore yester- day is said to have killed two persons ard seriously hurt eight or ten more. This could not have happened had the elevator shaft been provided with a close air-tight chamber at the bottom. This provides en “air cushion” to catch the bottom of the car and save it from striking with full force against the lower floor, which is gen- erally of stone. The principle is adopted and illustrated by the metallic cylinders at the top of doors, with a close-fitting plung- er that enters it when the door closes and prevents violent slamming. A few months since I noticed that an elevator car fell three or four stories into a tight chamber of the kind, 1nd the “air chamber” saved the lives and limbs of sev- eral persons who were in the falling car. I am moved to call attention to ‘his import- ant matter by the fact that while not one of the District Commissioners, I frequently tried to impress the gentlemen in the office of the inspector of buildings with the ur- gent necessity for a building regulation to effect the above measure of safety. Tut it was in vain. Possibly they thought that any man Was a “crank” at somo point, and that was mine. Every elevator in the city should be re- quired to provide an “air chamber” of the Kind mentioned, at the bottom of the shaft, and no building permit for the construction of a new elevator should be issued without a similar provision. Every hour of every day hundreds of lives are in peril tor the want of such a simple safety: appliance. J. W. DOUGLASS. ———. Colonial Bench Association.

Frank Nicholson Wrecks. a Police Station Cell. Frank Nicholson, filled with bad whisky, was on the warpath in Southeast Wash- ington last night, and although he gave the police considerable trouble, he appear- ead in Judge Kimball's court this morn- ing without a scratch on him. The last time he was arrested he was clubbed, and the policeman who did the clubbing was fined. This time, as already stated, Frank was drunk, as usual, and had been drunk so long that the police had to lock him up for the protection of both the public and himself. On the way to the station Frank did not give the usual amount of trouble, but when he got behind the bars he became violent in the extreme, and now several mechanics will have to be employed to put the building in order to receive violators of the law. Soon after he got in the cell he succeeded in tearing away the iron door of the closet, and this he used as a sledge on the door and succeeded in partially wrecking the door. The concrete floor also suffered an attack, and both the top coating and the brick bottom was piled in a heap. Several policemen managed to get the door open, and the prisoner was subdued and removed to another cell. When he got hefore Judge Kimball this morning the unfortunate victim of strong drink admitted that his appetite for Hquor had robbed him of his manhood. “You're a good man when sober,” the Juage told him, “but you are seldom ‘sober. Your mother fs an excellent woman, but you have about broken her heart.’ “I want to be a man,” said the prisoner, “but somehow I can’t. “I know you,” the judge told him, “and it is a pity you can’t stop. What about your conduct in the police station?” “I have no recollection of what happened. If I could be sent somewhere for treat. ment I might get straightened out and again become a man.” “That is just what I would like to do with you,” remarked the court. “But I am going to say to you that when you get out your ways should be mended. If you don’t stop drinking your end will be a bad one, for in one of your drunken brawls you may kill somebody, and will end on the gallows.” A sentence of ninety days on the farm was imposed, and the man will be given treatment for his rum drinking. ey A COLORED WOME: CONFERENCE, The National Federation to Meet Soon in Thin City.

A man about thirty-five years old, who claims that he ts deaf and dumb, and who ia probably 8. V. Goode of Burnsley, Va., was a prisoner in the Police Court this morning on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion. The name he gave when ar- rested was Alfred O'Dell. He had been going about the city visiting medical men and asking for assistance. In his posses- ston he had a typewritten paper setting forth his alleged condition, and to this paper was what purported to be the sig- nature of Dr. J. Wythe Cook of this city making a contribution of one dollar. In this circular he claimed that his wife was in Pullman, IIL, while express receipts in his possession show that he has sent to his wife in Virginia several sums of Money from Baltimore during the past few days. Dr. Cook denied to the police that he had ever signed the paper. Police- man Mellen arrested him last night. He had $8 in his pocket when arrested. Judge Kimball heard the evidence, and Prof. Langston, his counsel, admitted for him that he had been begging, and said he was willing to go home if released. His personal bonds were taken, and he Was put on a train for home. SVIsesssestestesseseseesess Merit Made and Merit Maintains the confidence of the people 1a Hood's Sarsapartlla.
