Guilty of Stealing. Edward Hessig, a young man who has heretofore borne a good reputation, was tried in the Police Court yesterday for al- leged theft, and the jury found him gulity of the charge. He is a church and lodge man and has many friends here. The young man is in the feed business, and it was charged that he stole two sacks of meal from the firm of W. M. Galt & $e feed dealers. Hessig made a denial, but Jury returned a verdict of guilty, and ine of $20 was imposed. —— Plenty of Ice. James Williams. a colored man, who works en an ice wagen, was given a trial in the Police Court yesterday on a charge a “speak-easy,” although one red that he could give an or- loud a tone as he could in any s order would be filled. It was admitted during the hearing that the Witnesses against Williams were preju- diced because of a quarrel, but this did not cause the prosecutor to abandon the case, although he was surprised when he learned that the defendant had not been acquitted. Working on an ice wagon, James gather- ed smail pieces of ice to take home with him, and at the time the raid-was male, he had a plentiful supply of ice on hand. In the tub of ice the police found three doz- en bottles of beer, which Williams clalmed he was going to take on an excursion with him. The jury was unable to agree, and there may be another trial next week. agen Bargains at McKnew’s. xitation of Mr. William H.

The regular weekly meeting of the Fed- eration of Labor was held last evening. There were thirty-seven organizations rep- resented. President James F. McHugh presided. Credentials to fill a vacancy were received from Cigar Makers’ Union No. 110, and for a full set of delegates from the Plumb- ers’ Union. The committee appointed to attempt a settlement with the brewers’ combine re- ported that they hoped to have terms of agreement to submit at the next meeting of the federation. A committee of firemen representing the city fire department were announced, and after they were admitted the chairman stated tnat they were detailed by the chief engineer to visit the old organization of the Federation of Labor in the interest of the filremen’s excursion for the benefit of the families of the firemen who lost their lives in the discharge of their duty at the recent fire. On motion an appropriation of $10 was made with which to purchase twenty tickets, and the tickets were returned to the committee for the purpose of again selling them for the benefit of the firemen’s fund. The contract committee made a report in reference to the question of the alleged employment of non-union men by the Metropolitan Railway Company on the. building which they are having erected near Lincoln Park, and stated that the men at work on the structure who are in the employ of the railroad company were members of organized labor societies, and that those employed by the contractor were non-union. In reference to a communication sent to those who are in charge of the Potomac flats, the same committee reported that no reply had as yet been received. Delegate Biake reported that he had called on Mr. S. H. Bell, who has charge of matters connected with the construction of the Hall of History of the American University, in order to see if arrangements can be made to have the granite to be used in the building cut here. Mr. Bell was too busy when Mr. Blake d, the latter said, to talk over the mat- and he referred Mr. Biake to Dr. Beller, and the former will see Dr. Beiler as soon as the latter returns from New York. A letter was read from Mr. Charles FE. Bechtold, national secretary of the Na- tional Union of the United Brewery Work- men of the United States, protesting against the lifting of the boycott from the brewers’ combine of this District until’ a settlement is reached recognizing Gam- brinus Assembly. The secretary was in- structed to reply to the communication and state the true facts in reference to the beer trouble. Building Trades. There was a full attendance of represen- tatives of the building trades at the mee: ing last evening of the Building Trales Council. President William Silver presided and Mr. J. M. Boyce was secretary. Delegates to fill vacancies were admitted from the Steamfitters’ Union. The grievance committee reported that attention had been given by them to the employment of non-union painters on the National Guard Armory, and that the prothise had been given by those having charge of the work that none but union painters would be emp!oyed in future. In the case of a man who is having a row even houses erected by non-union labor the committee reported that the owner re- fused to employ other than non-union labor, nd the matter was referred to all locai or- ganizations, with the recommendation that they refuse to purchase goods from the man. It also reported that several houses were being constructed by a real estate firm by non-union labor, and a committee Was appointed to see the interested parties i secure the work, if possible, for union of e report on this work brought to the eration of the council the question cf the employment by real estate agents and etlers of non-union labor on the repair and truction of their work, and it was ated that a large percentage of prompt- paying tenants belonging to trade organi- zations were the patrons of these firms, and it was thought necessary to refer the mat- ter to the Central Labor Union, and through that body to all the locals affiliated there- with, with the request that the matter be brought to the attention of the real estate firms. An effort will, it is understood, be made to secure this work for organized pn. It was developed tat there is y strong sentiment among the mem- bers of the unions connected with the Building Trades Council favorable to con- fining the tenant patronage in the future to those dealers and landiords who employ union labor. A special committee was appointed to co- operate with the Central Labor Union com- mittee to confer with several employing steamfitters In a final effort to adjust the differences existing between them and the members of the Steamfitters’ Union. The steamiitters will, it was stated, present their ultimatum, and if no agreement satis- factory to the steamfitters can be reached, the firms will be placed on the unfair list, and all the assistance possible will be giv- en the steamfitters by every organization of labor in the District. The council by a unanimous vote in- dersed the statement made by the Central Labor Union, and published in yesterday's Star, regarding the attitude of that body in the beer boycott. Carpenters’ Union, No. 1, having refused to co-operate with the other trades repre- sented in the council, was suspended, wheféupdn the delegates of that body re- tired. ——.—_—_ AS A HOTEL, Plans of the Directors of the Central Union Mission. The board of lirectors of the Central Union Mission have completed their pro- gram to be observed during the session of the Christian Endeavor convention. There will be two mectings daily, at each of which the wagons will be used, and from which thers will be speaking by prominent Gelegates to the convention. The wagons will be stationed near or on the White Lot, and will, it 1s believed, prove centers of at- traction to persons who, by reason of the great crowds, will be unable to get into the tents. The wagons will also be used each even- ing for meetings, to be ccrducted by lead- ing Christian workers, but on these occa- sions they will, it is expected, be located for the time being in the slums of the city. ‘The mat-agement of the mission expects to entertain between 300 and 400 delegates and visitors while the convention is in progress, and in order to do so properly, they are having the entire building remod- eled, reiovated and put in order generally. Many improvements have been added, and nothing that will condvce to the pleasure or comfort cf their prospective guests will be left unattended to. ‘As is well known to readers of The Star, the fine large headquarters of the mission was originally constructed for and was long conducted as a hotel, and it is well adapted for the entertainment of a large number of guests. The building is sup- plied with two broad stairways In the in- terior and two well-built fire escapes on the C stret front. The culinary depart- ment will be in charge of Mr. J. 8. Duvall, who for many years menaged a hotel. The dining room will be kept cool and clean, and the biil of fcre will be unexcelled by any in the city. The board of directcrs of the mission are well known, and are considered by those who know them best thcroughly responsi- ble for any promise they make. ‘The proiits, if there are shy, will be de- voted to the purchase of additional equip- ment for the industrial department of the mission. ————_—_.

Double Tragedy Today on the Dead- ly Sarface Tracks, WO YOUNG BOYS KILLED Walking the B. and O. Ties When Struck by an Express. CONFLICTING STORIES Two little boys, Willle Jenkins and Fred- die Smith, met instant death on the sur- face tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near the Florida avenue crossing, on the Washington branch of the road, abcut 1 o'clock today, and their little bod- ies are side by side on the table in the lit- tle brick structure called the morgue. The little fellows were companions, Jenkins be- ing eight years old, and his companion one year his junior. They lived at the home of their parents, in Brewer's court north- east, between 6th and 7th and G and H streets. Willie Jenkins had attended the Taylor, gchool until his older brother got sick with the measles, and then he was quarantined. He did not return to school because it was so near the close of the session, and this morning he started out to go to Trinidad. The boys were bare- footed and were dressed in cool summer costumes, and as their companions said, they were guing out for “bloodies” (frogs) and cherries. Some older boys had warned them to remain at home, but they did not heed the warning. The Tragedy. After leaving their homes the boys did not hurry, for the accident happened more than an hour after they had started away. Just under what circumstances the accti- dent happened witnesses differ. It 1s cer- tain that they died so suddenly that they never realized how they were hurt. One Version of the affair is that they were walking the ties across a culvert and when they heard a train coming from either di- rection they were afraid to jump the short distance, and in order to save themselves, as they supposed, they stepped to one side and were struck. It is thought that the train struck Jen- kins and knocked him against his compan- fon with such force that he had his skull crushed by coming in contact with the ground, for although Smith's skull is_se- verely crushed, the scalp is not cut. The frent of Jenkins’ skull is crushed in, and his brains were scattered about on the rocks beside the tracks. Left by the Tracks. Aa incoming Baltimore express train did the damage, and when the train was stopped the ghastly sight was witnessed by the passengers, among them being a number of officials of the city of Balti- more. The trainmen had an {dea that they could not remove the bodies without an order from the coroner, ad so the bodies were left there beside the tracks until the police patrol wagon from the ninth pre- cinct arrived, and then they were taken to the morgue. When the police officers reached the scene of the double killing, the footprints of the boys, made from walking in the mud, were visible on the ties. The bodies all covered with blood lay in the culvert, and the sight was a heartrending one. Grief at Two Houses. When the news reached Brewer's court the two homes which only a few minutes before had been bright and happy were in mourning. The boys’ mothers were there to hear the news, and crowds of playmates soon gathered about the front doors and sympathized with the grief-stricken rela- tives. At the Morgue. At the morgue a large crowd soon col- jected, in addition to those who had fol- lowed the patrol wagon, and hundreds of curious people eccled te see the bodies. But the door of the morgue was closed ex cept to those who actually had busines there. Coroner Hammett was notified of the sad affair, and will prokably hold an inquest tomorrow. Mr. Jenkins, father of one of the boys, is employed at the plant of the Hygienic Ice Company, while Mr. Linkins, stepfather of Freddie Smith, works for the parking com- mission. It is said that the engineer of the train blew his whistle and rang his bell just be- fore reaching the point where the accident happened, but the accident could not have been avoided by him. The trainmen were very much surprised when they picked up the bodies to find that they were not hor- ribly mangled in addition to having thei skulls so badly crushed. ‘ AN ALEXANDRIA TRAGEDY Reverdy J. Daingerfield Takes His Own Life Alexandria was thrown into a state of excitement this morning, when it was learned that Mr. Reverdy J. Daingerficld, one of its best-known citizens, had com- mitted suicide at his residence, corner of Prince and Columbus streets, shooting himeelf through the head with a revolver. For some weeks past Mr. Daingerfield has been in rather a depressed condition. Yesterday, however, he seemed to be in better spirits, and went to his farm, near the city, where he made all of his prepara- tions to begin harvesting his wheat crop this morning. Last night he seemed to be in his usual spirits, and retired early. Shortly after 6 o’clock this morning he arose and walked to the bath room, which is only a short distance from his own room, and in a few seconds the report of a pistol was heard. His wife hastened to the bath room, where she found her husband lying prostrate upon the floor with a pistol in his hand, and his head covered with bluod. Her screains svon aroused the house- hold, and in a few seconds Drs. Smith and Purvis were summoned, but they had hard- ly arrived upon the scene before he breath- ed his last. Upon examination it was found that the bullét, which was a %2-caiiber, entered the head just back of the right ear and passed through the brain and lodged over the left eye. Mr. Daingerfield was a son of the late Henry Daingerfleld, and was in the forty- fifth year of his age. He had never been engaged in any active business, but devoted his attention to his farming opera- tions. He had always been a favorite with his associates, who are composed of the best people of the city. He was fond of gunning and field sports, and had a large rumber of friends all over the country, who will be as much grieved at his death as those here at home. He leaves a widow and four children, one son and three daughters. His wife was Miss Effie Nicholson of Wash- irgton, who is a neice of the late Miss Car- roll of Duddington. No arrangements for the funeral have yet been made. — Deer Park and Berkeley Special. Commencing Monday, June 15, the B. and O. R.

Many New Structures in Contempla- tion—To Be Ordained—Local Notes of General Interest. Within>the past month. building, opera- tions have enjoyed asboom. A number of new: buildings are ‘in course of erection, many repairs being made to old ones, and there is a general prospect that this year will be extremely favorable to Georgetown. One thing particularly noticeable is the gradual increase of dwellings between Georgetown and Tenleytown, leading to the belief that a few more decades will result in the building up of the-.entire area. Mr. C. H. Marshall is erecting a pretty three-story brick dwelling at 2710 P street, while at 2712 P street Mrs. Hamilton is making quite an improvement. Mr. John W. Thompson is erecting a building on the Tenleytown road near the Woodley Lane road. Mr. A. C. Barnett is having erected a two-story brick dwelling at 2534 P street, and Mr. James Stewart is erecting a two- story frame dwelling on the Conduit road just west of town. Mr. W. W. Anderson is having built in the rear of lot 243, square 1260, just back of Q street, a two-story brick stable, while Mr. N. Hershler is erecting a frame stable in the rear of his property in Cleveland Park. Mr. Leonard Gentz is making general repairs to his residence on the Grant road. Mr. W: H. Tenney is im- proving his mill property on Water street, and Mr. Louis Hoffenmair is making an improvement on the south side of Water street at the foot of 33d street. Mr. J. F. Burch is improving the entrance of 3401 O street, while Mr. Robert Burrows is rebuild- ing on his place near Tenleytown. To Be Ordained. Mr. Martin O'Donoghue, a_ well-known young man of Georgetown, who for some time past has been studying for the pricst- hood, will be ordained as a minister of the gospel Friday morning. The ordination ceremonies will be held at the cathedral in Baltimore, commencing at 8 o'clock in the morning, Cardinal Gibbons being present at the ceremories. Quite a number of peo- ple from this place will attend the services. The first mass of the newly created priest will be offered at Trinity Church on Sun- day morning, the church which he has at- tended all his life. He will be the celebrant at solemn high mass at 10:30 o'clock, and without a doubt the large edifice will be crowded. The sermon at the mass will be delivered by Rev. J. Haven Richards, rec- tor of Georgetown University. Notes. Night Station Keeper Mr. A. B. Malone is still unable to be on duty on account of sickness. Miss Belle Turkenton of 33d street leaves tomorrow for Guthrie, Oklahoma territory, where she will spend the summer. The annual commencement of St. Joseph's Female School will be held tomorrow. Policeman Charles Gillmore is off duty, being on the sick list. A marriage license was issued yesterday to Robert Upperman, aged twenty-two, and Ceeelia Biggs, aged twenty-three, both of this place. ——_— MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.

La Fetra,, treasurer, read a report, showing the re- ceipts for the quarter to be $600.31, and the results of the mite box roll call were given by Miss Louise C. Wilson as $10.90. M Maria Baldwin then made an ad- dress on the increase in the influence of the Woman's Missionary Friend, the or- gan of the society, and Miss Turner spok on the subject of “Children’s Bands. The exercises were closed with a duet by Misses Wahly and Pillsbury. The meeting of the Home Society is held in the afternoon, and opened with a prayer service, conducted by Mrs. W. R. Stricklen and Mrs. Clinton. The presi- dent of the society, Mrs. T. L. Tulloch, then made a few remarks on the work of the organization during the quarter, and reports were received from the various of- ficers. The receipts of the quarter were shown io be $1,8%%.04, and a good balance was stated to be in the contingent fund. A talk on the annual conference was given by Mrs. C. L. Roach, and reports from the various auxiliary organizations of the society were received from the members having them in charge.

Dr. J. J. Muir as the speaker. Mr. Muir occupied a place on the platform with Rev. C. C. Meador, the pastor of the church since its Virth, and a large number of the congrega- ticn were in attendance. The church and pulpit were handsomely decorated with flowers and palms. Dr. Muir spoke on the subject of missions, and said that the only place in the world whcre missionaries were refused entrance was a little land which went under the name of Thibet, but which, he thought, would also be thrown open in a short while to the emissaries of the true religion. After Dr. Muir had concluded the finance committee, through the treasu- ter, Mr. Bailey, rendered its report. Rev. Dr. C. A. Stakely will be the speaker at this evening's meeting. ——— md Sunday Trips to the Country. Commencing Saturday, May 30, and con- tinuing until further notice, the B. and O. R. R.

Judge Miller dealt the Utah law a serious blow today, and hereafter the police will experience considerable difficulty in sus- taining charges of fornication and adultery under the law. Lawyer Joseph Shillington attacked the law in a case in court today, in which a white man and colored woman were charged with fornication. The man, who gave his name as Walter Green, but whose name is said to be Woodson, was charged with a colored woman named Mary Thompson. They had been arrested in ‘he office of a Georgetown patent attorney, where Police- men Ward and Passeno found them last night. In the information filed against them it was not alleged that they were un- married. There was no evidence in the case to show whether or not they were married, and Mr. Shillington argued that such proof was necessary. Mr. Mullowny was not surprised at the point being raised, and said he realized that In many cases he would be unable to Prove the question of marriage. Judge Miller held that the information was defective, in that it failed to set out the question of marriage, and the informa- tion was thereupon quashed. This necessi- tated the release of the defendants. The man denied the charge, but several wit- nesses told the court of the circumstances under which they were arrested. es PLEAD NOT GUILTY. Indicted Oleomargarine Denlers in Court This Morning. Those parties indicted for violating the oleomargarir.e laws who had not previously pleaded to the indictments, some eighteen of them, were arraigned before Judge Cole in Criminal Court. No. 1 this morning. Pleas of not guilty were entered by thcir counsel, Messrs. Herry E. Davis and E. B. Hay, with the privilege of subsequently withdrawing such pleas and demurring or moving to quash. The trials were then set down for Mcrday next before Judge Cole. Mr. Davis explained that as the Court of Appeals has sustaired the laws, the de- murrers or motions te quash would cf ceurse ke overruled. But in view of the fact that his associate, Mr. Jere M. Wil- son, will be engaged in the Helt will case for several days yet, he asked that the trials go over until the last of the present month. District Attorney Birney insisted that the trials be commenced next Monday, and Judge Cole so ordered, remarking that the trials will necessarily be brief, and that there should therefore be no delay in try- ing the cases. ——— Special Train to Bay Ridge June 19th For the accommodation of members of Moody Choir and others who may wish to visit Bay Ridge on Friday, June 19, in ad- dition to regular trains, special train has been arranged to leave B. and 0. depot Washington, 1:30 p.m., for that point.

There isn’t another place where so many leaks and wastes are stopped. r There’s a clearing sale in progress now. All sorts of suitings are being sold away down. All suitings that were $14, $13, $12, $11, $10—you can have a suit made from any pattern you select for $9.50.

Take F street cars, ‘imbbett Clogging of the pores or mouths of the sebaceous glands with sebum or ofly matter. ‘The plug of sebum in the center of the pimple is called @ blackhead, grub or comedone. Nature will not allow the clogging of the pores to continue long, hence, : Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness; later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened, the plug ‘comes out and the pore is once more free. ‘There are thousands of these pores in the face alone, any one of which is lable to become clogged by negleet or disease. What Cures Pimples? The only reliable preventive and cure, when not due to @ constitutional humor, is Cuticura Soap. It contains a mild proportion of CUTICURA, the great skin cure, which enables it to dissolve the sebaceous or oily matter as It forms at the mouths of the pores. ‘This 1s the secret of its wonderful success. It stimulates the sluggish glands and tubes to healthy activity, reduces inflammation, soothes and heals irritated and roughened surfaces, and restores the skin to its original purity. For bad complexion, redness, roughness, yellow, oily, mothy skin, red, rough hands and shapeless nails, dry, thin and falling hair, sealy and trri- tated scalps and stmple baby blemishes it 1s won- derful. Sale greater than the combined sales of all other skin and complexion soaps. Sold throughout the world. Price, 25¢. POT- TER DRUG AND CHEM.
