It Was Also One of the Warmest and Most Disagreeable—Some Relief in Sight. Yesterday was a long day and a hot day. The weather bureau admitted freely that it was a long day, for the almanscs, forsooth, pronounced with all that wisdom that makes an almanac invincible that it was the longest day of the year. So on that score there could be no chance for a quib- ble. But on the question of heat the weath- er bureau was not quite so ready. It was warm, to be sure, warm to the point of dis- cemfort, but the sages who know all about highs and lows and atmospheric disturb- ances could not be brought to admit that the thermometer was very high. They were probably right. It was only 0 degrees in the shade on the top of the weather bureau roof, far away from the sweltering influence of the asphalt and the brick sidewalks. But 90 degrees of plain, every-day heat coupled with many tons of motsture suspended in the atmosphere suf- fice to make a very hot, disagreeable day. Old “General Humidity,” who used to be assailed as the cause of so much human suffering, was abroad. The air was of that soggy, spongy, lifeless quality that brought all the woes of life to the front and made existence a burden, notwithstanding there was a good breeze nearly all day and there were spots where one might be cool if one remained perfectly still, just as it used to be necessary to sit when a photograph was being taken, before snap-shots became pos- sible. The least movement meant suffering and wilting. Exertion of any kind brought out the perspiration in rivulets and made it seem as though the official thermometers were at least ‘0 degrees above zero. Old Sol Improved His Chance. Being the longest day of the year, the reat and the humidity had all the better chance to get in their fine work on a suffer- ing popula.‘on. It is mere often the case than otherwise that these longest days are also the hottest, but their passage leaves the comforting thought that after them for six months will come steadily decreasing hours of light and heat. They are bad days for burglars and babies. Even when dark- is the housebreaker finds the fam- ily all awake, panting for breath and sigh- ing for sleep, while the little ones roll and toss and fret and add to the concern and discomfort of their elders. Se it is a good thing for all sorts and cenditions of men to find the days growing shorter. It means less heat, less trouble. The gasmaker welcomes the passing of the summer solstice, even if in this city it does bring nearer the day of reckor:ing when he must reduce his prices. But cheap gas in the shortening days is a boon to the maker of gas as compared with dear gas in days when the very thought of gaslight sets the whole town to shuddering. The last two nights have been very hot indeed, caused by the wave of heat that has been slowly sweeping over the country from the Mississippi valley. It is sald to be almost gone by this time, and the bureaa officials hold out the hone that In a few hours there will be a perceptible drop in the tcmperatures. But they cannot go fur- ther than this, for they suspect that there is another hot blast forming over on the erid plains of the far western states that Will reach this region later in the week, so they hold out no promise of even a few days of cooler temperatures. aturday the official thermometer regis- tered 92 degrees. Yesterday the highest point attained was 90. Down-town these figures were doubtless overtopped by from 5 to 8 degrees in almost every section. It was hot enough, gocdness knows. E| All over the eastern part of the United States the heat was intense on both days. But with all that is to be said, spoken and eut of the way, it canrot be claimed that 90 or even 92 degrees is intensely hot for a Washington summer day, and there re- mains the possibility and more likely the Trobability that before the shortening of the days will have begun to be appreciable the thermometers at the bureau will be dallying with the hundred mark. ——__ EARLY CLOSING. Spread of the Movement Among the Local Grocers. An early closing movement among the grocers of the city was initiated today by Reeves, Poole & Co., who circulated a peti- tion agreeing to close their place of busi- ness at 5:30 p.m. daily except Saturday and at 9 p.m. Saturdays during July and August. The signatures of the proprietors of several of the leading grocery establigh- ments were secured during the day. “In our opinion {t is unjust to the clerks to keep open so late during the hot weath- er,” said a member of the firm first men- tioned to a Star reporter this afternoon. By remaining open until 6 o’clock the em- ployes are prevented from indulging in trips down the river and other desirable re- creations, while the extra hour allowed them under our proposition means a great deal to them with very little loss to the employers. I think the majority of the firms willing to close early and have vaiting for some one to start the movement. In all events, whether the others agree or not, this establishment, un- til September 1 next, will close.at 5:30 ‘clock every day except Saturday, and the latter day at 9 p.m.” An early closing petition is also being cir- culated among the merchants of East Washington, and it is likely that a majority of the business houses of that section of the city will suspend opcrations earlier than usual each day during the heated term. ee BOTH WOUNDED. Edward and Lucy Fought Bricks and a Knife. Dingman place, near New Jersey avenue and E street northwest, was the scene of a bloody conflict about noon today, in which Edward Gallcway, a colored huckster, and Lucy Timlick, a colored woman, figured. Months ago Lucy was Edward's sweet- heart, but Walter Butler, it appears, has succeeded him in the wcman’s affections.” Lucy lives in McCullough place, but to- day she had been visiting in Dingman place, and was in the alley when Galloway came along. eB He was jealous of his successor, and was willing to renew their former relations, but Lucy was too well satisfied with Walter to be willing to effect a recor ciliation, and a fight ensued. A chorus of screams of “murder” and “police” attracted Police- man Creagh to the scene of the trouble, and he saw the end of the man’s coat tail disappearing around the corner. When he got a good lock at the fleeirg man he saw that the latter had a blocd-stained hand- kerenief in his hand, while blood was streaming from a wound in his head. From then until the capture was made the pur- suit was sn exciting one. Galloway ran abovt the vicinity of the government print- ing office and passed many pedestrians, but none cf them attempted to intercept him. The policeman got on a Columbia cable car and followed the man to Dela- ware avenue. There was a moving freight train on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks, and Galloway made an effort to get on the rear car, but the officer caught him before he had succeeded. ‘I don’t care if you did catch me,” said the prisorer. “I’m willing to serve my time. In the meanwhile the Emergency Hos- pital ambulance had arrived in Dingman plaee and the wounded woman had been removed to the hospital. There were two wounds in her arm and ene across her back, in addition to one in her right side. These injuries had been inflicted with a penknife, and the weapon had been thrown in the street, where it had been found by a boy. Galloway had an ugly wound in his forehead and another in the top of his head. These, he said, had been inflicted by cy, who used a trick. His wounds were dressed at the police station. A charge of assault was preferred against the prisoner, and he will be heara in the Police Court tomorrow. With ——_— . Transfers of Real Estate. Ino. H.

In reaching its conclusion on the subject of drugs, the board was governed by an opinion of the Attorney General. The award of contracts for drugs will accordingly rest with the District Commissioners, WHERE THE ‘SURF ROLLS Prosperous Season Promised at Popular : Oape May. Prominent Churchmen to Occupy a Palpit—Some of the’ Well- Known Guests, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., June 20, 1896, The few days which have made life at the seashore a rather discouraging exper- fence have been followed by the balmiest of southern breezes along thls coast, and a turnout of visitors on the strand and bou- levard that was highly stggestive of the crowded midsummer days. “In fact, the sea- son is in full swing fully three weeks earlier than in former years, and the fa- mous old resort has taken a bound toward prosperity and popularity that has quick- ened the enterprising tendencies of its pro- gressive citizens to an unheard of degree. The fashionable set here, and Cape May has more people who are prominent socially than ary resort on the coast, have set the pace in the matter of surf bathing. They have fixed the bathing hour at 12 noon, and usually spend a full hour in the in- viting surf, or strolling on the smooth, hard beach. No member of this select ¢lass would even think of going into the surf before or after the time stated. But there are others, and plenty of them, who pay no heed to the time Hmit set by fashion, and who can be found disporting in the surf at all hours of the day. The way surf bathing maintains its popuiarity here can only be accounted for by the splendid beach, for which Cape May is justly famed. The bicycle craze has materially interfered with the usual indulgenee in surf bathing at other resorts. But here, in Cape May, with fine streets and roads, and swarms of enthusiastic bicyclists as well, the surf bath is really growing in popular favor. Prominent Churchmen Coming. That Cape May ts more than favored in the presence of distinguished clergymen was amply demonstrated at the opening of St. John’s Episcopal Church last Sunday, when the pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Herbert Parish, assistant pastor of St. Clement’s, Philadelphia. This fashionable church has United States Senator William J. Sewell as one of its most prominent vestrymen, and numbers among its pew- holders George D. McCreary, ex-city treas- urer ot Philadelphia, who is one of the lib- eral promoters of the fresh air fund of that elty; Dr. Charles R. King, B. F. Godfrey, A. C. Passano and W. F. Reed, all wealthy and influential people from ‘the Quaker city. It was announced at St. John’s that the pulpit would be filled during the sea- son by the following well-known clergy- men of the Episcopal Church: Rev. B. A. Penick, rector of St. Paul's, Camden; Rev. Wilbur F. Packet, D. D., rector of St. An- drew’s, Philadelphia; Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, bishop of Delaware; Rev. Alfred G. Mortimer, D. D., rector of St. Mark's, Philadelphia; Rev. R. A. Rodrick, rector of St. Andrew's, Mt. Holly, N. J.; Rev. John Dows Hills of St. Mary's, West Philadel- phia; Right Rev. John Scarborough, bishop of New Jersey; Rev. F. A. D. Launt of St. David's, Manayunk, Pa.; Rev. J. F. Powers, archdeacon of the diocese of Reading; Rev. ©. T. Brady, archdeacon of the diocese of Philadelphia; Rev. William Howard Faulk- ner, rector of St. Philip's, West Philadel- phia; Rev. J. Newton Stanger, D. D., of the Church of the Atonement; Rev. John T. Bunting, assistant minister of the Church of the Atonement, and Kev. Ju. B. Edwards, assistant minister of the Church of the Holy Trinity. As St. John’s is maintained by voluntary contribut{fons,, the seats are free to all services, | A Few Noted Sojourners. Mrs. Diana M. Kearney, widow of the eminent Union general, Philip Kearney, who lost his life while recoritioitering after the battle of Chantilly, ‘fs at her fine sum- mer cottage here, whetg she, recently cele- brated her seventy-sevanth birthday. Mrs. Kearney comes from an.old Kentucky fam- ily, the Bullitts. One of her ancestors, Capt. Bullitt, served om the staff of Gen. Washington during the:campaign against the French at Fort Duquesné. Ex-City Treasurer Gdorge:.D. McCreary of Philadelphia and his family are comfort- ably located in their handsome Columbia avenue villa. Mr. McCreary #8 one of Cape May’s most popular summer residents, he being widely known and admired for his democratic and charitable impulses. William R. Warner, the wealthy manu- facturing druggist of Philadelphia, was at the opening of the big Stockton Hotel, where he engaged apartments for the sea- son. One of the oldest and most loyal of Cape May’s visitors is Dr. Charles R. King of Philadelphia, who has again occupied his Howard street cottage. Dr. King brought to the shore with him his fine road equip- ages, and both he and his wife spend much of their time speeding along the splendid drives for which this resort is noted. Judge Gorham, a prominent poiitician of Washington, D. S., accompanied United States Senator David B, Hill to Cape May. The judge was so charmed with the re- sort’s attraction that he engaged apart- ments at the Marine Villa for himself and wife for the entire season. McCAULEY FOUND GUILTY The Attempt to Shoot a Detective and Police Lieutenant. Recommended to the Mercy of the Court by the Jury—Fought Desperately. George McCauley, who, according to the police authorities, has spent the greater part of his life in prison, was placed on trial before Judge Cole, in Criminal Court No. 1, this morning, charged with at- tempting to kill Detective John B. Sutton, the Gth of th!s month. The testimony submitted on behalf of the prosecution showed that between 11 and 12 o'clock the morning of the day in question, Lieut. Amias, Detective Sutton and Special Officer Nick Miles. were stand- ing near the corner of 9th street and Louisiana avenue. Noticing McCauley passing along Louisiana avenue in com- pany with a boy, Lieut. Amiss instructed Sutton to stop him and see what he was doing in ‘town. Sutton stopped the man about In front of the horse market. Just then Amiss and Miles stepped up. Mc- Cauley’s replies to his inquiries not being satisfactory, Amiss instructed Sutton to place him under arrest and take him to the station. McCauley remarked that they were trying to persecute him, that he had done nothing wrong, and that he'd be d— if he would go to the station. Sutton thereupen grabbed McCauley by the left arm, when the man raised a heavy cane to strike Sutton. Miles pulled the cane out of his hand, half pulling him down. As McCauley raised up, it was seen that he had pulled a heavy double-acting revolver from his pocket. Just as the man brcught the pistol around in front of Sut- tcr.’s stomach, Miles grabbed his arm and Amiss caught the barrel of it, pressing !t quickly downward. Just then the revolver was discharged, the ball striking the pav: nt and knocking out a piece of bric ich struck Andrew Contee, a small co o1ed boy, in the stomach. After the pistol was taken from the struggling man, he was taken to the station house. On’ the way he was searched, another fully loaded revolver, an extra load of ammunition, and a large claspknife being found on him. A mcrphine outfit and some pension papers were also found on him. But one witness testified on behalf of McCauley, and merely as to the man be- ing in the city on business. His counsel, Mr. John B. O'Neill, in addressing the jury, contended that the man’s arrest was unl. ful, and that the pistol was di: charged in the scuffle, McCauley not in- tending to Kill Sutton. Assistant District Attorney Jeffords, pointing to the weapons fcund on McCauley, remarked that there cculd be no doubt of his intention to kill Sutton, insisting that a clearer case had never been made out. Judge Cole told the jury that the officers, knowing McCauley’s reputation, were jus- tified in placing him under arr But, even if they did act unreasonably, McCau- ley was guilty as charged if he really tempted to Kill the officer, for they nothing to justify such a thing. Found Guilty. After deliberating about an hour and a half the jury returned a verdict at 1:20 this afternoon of guiliy as Indicted, recom- mending McCauley to the mercy of the ccurt. At the request of the man’s coun- scl the prisoner was remanded to jail to await senten The penalty for the oifense is imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor for not less than two nor more than eight years. Sentence will probably be imposed Friday next. gene Zion Conference. The annual meeting of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church was continued at Metropolitan Wesley Church tcday, ard up to a late hour this afternoon the body was occupied with the auditing of various accounts and settling by the ministers on accouat of the general fund. Rev. R. W. Todd, agent of the Maryland Bible Society, was present during a portion of the meeting and made an address, in which he urged that those preachers who ate located in Maryland and the District of Columbia take up one col- lectign a year for the benefit cf the Bible Society. It was expected that Bishop Petty would announce his appointments for the ensuing cenference year tonight, but he told a Star reporter that he would not be able to do so before tomorrow. : —_——__ For an Assault. William Bell, colored, who is not more than twenty years old, will have attained his majority when he is released from jail more than a year hence. Saturday night he was on the war path, when Polic men Cox and Adams arrested him. Before being captured, however, he had entered his father’s house and the latter, Solornon Bell, took the part of his boy. William had a club, and he used it on the head of Po- liceman Adams, and the father also used a stick. His conduct infuriated the crowd of bystanders to such an extent that the took a hand in the affair and handled the father without kid gloves. Special Officer Faller, who took part in the affair, was also badly injured. Solomon Bell given six months in each of two cases of a: sault, and the son was given eleven months and twenty-nine days for the a: ult on Otficer Adams, pants Sal ey The Court Suspected. Mrs. Winnle Washington, a motherly looking old colored woman, has been mar- ried for nearly # quarter of a century. She has never had reason to complain against her husband, Joseph Washington, for cruelty, although she says that on one cecasion he did strike her over the bac with a strap when she objected to his pun- ishing one of the children, But today her husband comfplained in the Police Court that she had abused him. “She cut my finger with a shovel,” said the old man, “and I wasn’t doing nothing to her.” “Yes, he was,” she said. “I asked him for money, and when he twisted my arm I let him have it with the shovel.” ‘What about the other woman?” Judge Miller asked. % “What other woman?” Mrs. Washington wanted to know. “Didn't you complain to him about an- otther woman?” “Oh, yes, but that ain’t why I struck him.” “I think it is.” She was fined $5. Se Frightened Them. A garden party, an intoxicated colored man and a loaded pistol figured in a Police Court case today. The party was given at the house of Carter Ross, near 23d and G streets northwest, just one week ago, and Carter partook of liquid refreshments until he was ready for almost anything. Andrew Goodall and John Allen, young colored men, were detected in the act of looking in the yard through the fence, and Carter ob- Jected to this way of beating the gate- keeper. He got his pistol and flourished it at the young men, and so badly frigh ened them that they went off and swo: out a warrant for him. Policeman Wortz served the rrant, and the c: was heard When first ex- amined the defendant claimed that he had a police whistle and not a pistol, but after- ward when he had forgot what defense he had made, he admitted that he had the weapon, and said he only wanted to frighten the two men. The policeman said that Ross’ wife show- ed him the pistol, and said she could do nothing with her husband when he was drinking. Carter had never been arrested before, and Judge Miller gave him the benefit of his good character by imposing a sentence of two months. peat ee Change in Revenue Cutters. The Treasury Department has ordered a change in the exterior appearance of the vessels of the revenue service. These ves- sels have been distinguished by black hulls, white deck houses and black stacks. Under the new order of things they will appear with white hulls, with black strakes and yellow stacks. Theiz general white appear- ence will give them a resemblance in minia- ture to Uncle Sam’s warships, which sim- ilarity will be increased when the officers and men apear in their new summer uni- form of white duck.
