The funeral of Irvin Ford, the murderer of Elsie Kreglo, who was executed at the jail yesterday, took place at noon today. ‘The services were conducted in the large dcuble parlors of the home of Mr. J. H. Winslow, the undertaker, on R street be- tween 12th and 13th streets, who had charge of the arrangements. Rev. John Roberts, who was Ford's spiritual adviser, and Rev. W. J. Howard were the officiat- ing clergymen. The services were brief, and consisted of prayer, singing the hymn beginning with the words, “Show pity, Lord; Oh, Lord, forgive; let a repenting rebel live,” and a short address by Mr. Roberts, who, in the ccurse of his remarks, referred to the crime for which Ford died, and urged his hearers to lead honest and upright lives. At the close of the services, the coffin ecntaining the body was placed in a hearse and, aceompanied by a few carriages, in which were Ford's wife and child and a few friends, was taken to Payne's ceme- tery, nine ‘miles from Washington, and placed in the vault. During the morcing the shop of Mr. Winslow was visited by hundreds of colored people, mostly women, and a few white men, and until noon, when the exercises were begun, all were given opportunity to take a look at the body. When the casket was closed there were several hundred col- ored persons of both sexes standing in the street, vainly seeking « chance to enter the building. Despite the apparent inconsistency of the act, 2 man, who said he was the “manager of the funeral,” stood near the corpse and distributed a circular in which the ad- vantages of a certain burial essociation were extolled. Yesterday afternoon after the body of Ford had been removed to the shop of Undertaker Winslow, it was embalmed, again coffined, and then ‘placed on exhib! tion, thousands of people, almost wholly colored, viewing the remains of the exe- cuted murderer. The body, save for the wrark of the rope about the neck, which was nearly concealed by the undertaker’s art, gave no eviderce of the man’s terrible taking off, and he seemed to be asleep. A small bunch of flowers was placed on the coffin, and on it was also placed a small box, in which some contributions for the murderer's wife and child were dropped. —__+>—_—_ A LIVELY MEETING. New Officers Chosen by the Union Republican Club. The Union Republican Club held the most exciting meeting in its history last night, and before adjournment was reached Presi- dent Thomas J. Lasier and Secretary George S. Emery resigned; Dr. A. P. Far- don and Mr. C. D. Kreamer were elected, respectively, to succeed them, and a com- mittee was chosen to enter into consulta- tion with the National Republican Club, which was recently formed by seceding members of the Union Club, with a view of consolidating the two organizations. The meeting was presided over by Capt. Woolman Gibson, and the report of the ex- cursion committee, which stated that Sec- retary Emery had failed to make returns for a large number of tickets for the recent excursion, was the inspiration of a number of speeches not at all complimentary to the secretary. It was claimed by the latter's friends that he had distributed the tickets among many persons to be sold, but had been unable to get an account of them so far. A motion to suspend Mr. Emery was made, but before it was acted upon the secretary tendered his resignation and it was accepted. The report of the excursion committee, which had been adopted, was finally re- scinded. Dr. Fardon chose Dr. C. B. Purvis and Mr. R. M. Elliott to act with himself as the committee to bring about consolidation with the National Republican Club. At an executive session held after the regular Meeting adjourned the club decided to recommend to the national republican com- mittee the name of Dr. A. P. Fardon as member from the District of Columbia. eS THE TRANSFER EFFECTED. The new company which will and manage the Grand Opera House in this city yesterday entered upon possession of the property for a period of eight years control at an annual rental of $15,000. This figure covers all facilities of the playhouse, in- cluding the Pennsylvania avenue entrance. The new compery yesterday elected James L. Kernan president and Geo. Rife secretary and treasurer. Legitimate drama at popular prices will be the attraction hereafter at the Grand. Electric Railways in Europe. Mr. A. N. Connett, chief engineer of the Metropolitan Railway Company of this city, has received an offer to gb to Europe for the purpose of superintending the construction of a great system of electric raflways in one of the largest cities on that continent: Mr. Connett said yesterday, in reply to a question from a Star reporter, that his offer was from a Canadian syndicate, which pro- poses to invest a large sum.of money tn the building of railways in Europe, if they can secure some lines which they are now after, and if they were successful he would go with them; otherwise he will not.

No other resort furnishes the people of the capital city with so much comfort and pieasure. The popular and commodious steamers Mac- alester and River Queen carry the excur- sionists to and fro. These excursions to Marshall Hall are particularly well patron- ized on Sundays. Persons are enabled to get away from the heat and glare of as- phalt streets and to enjoy the day amidst pleasant surroundings, and to drink in the ozone cf the river breezes. To accommo- date the great multitude who will go to Marshal: Hall tomorrow the Macalester will make three trips at 11 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., leaving the Hall at 1, 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. The River Queen goes down at 3, and leaves the Hall at 8 p.m., giving pas- sengers the benefit of the summer sunset. There will be good music on boat and at Marshall Hall by Schroeder’s Band, and a full-course dinner will be served at popular prices. The first trip of the season to the Piney Point Hotel will be made next Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, when the steamer Jane Moseley will leave with the choristers of St. John’s Church for their annual out- ing at that place. The outing will last about ten days, and a large party of friends will accompany the choir and stay during that time. Those who desire to visit the Point during the outing of the choir may secure tickets at a nominal price for the rovnd trip. The steamer T. V. Arowsmith will re- sume her regular schedule for the pictur- esque lower. Potomac commencing today at 6 p.m., touching at all of the summer re- sorts. Friday next, July 8, the boat will leave at 8 p.m. for Colton’s, Colonial Beach, Piney Point, St. George’s Island, Smith's creek, Walnut Point, Point Lookout, Coan and Yeocomico rivers. This will enable excusionists to spend the Fourth on salt water and reach home by 10 p.m. Sunday. Chevy Chase will be patronized tomorrow by a large class of Washingtonians who do not wish to take an all-day or go very far away from the center of the city. Chevy Chase presents Ideal features for patrons of this class, and its cool, shady woods and charming lake are well worth a visit on a hot day. Pleasure beats may be had on the lake at all times, and seats and tables are provided under the cool trees for picnic parties. The park is reached by the cars of the Capital Traction Company over the Chevy Chase line. The second annual excursion of the R. W. and B. Club will be given to Marshall Hall next Tuesday evening on the steamer Macalester, the boat leaving at 6:45. As special attractions a cake walk will be held and a big concert will be given on the grounds. Besides the regular dancing in the pavilfon will be had, and the boat will stay late enough to give the excursion- ists the longest time possible at this pleas- ant resort. The usual Sunday trips will be made to- morrow by the steamer Pentz to River View, Capt. Randall’s popular excursion resort on the river, fifteen miles below this city. Besides the “chute” and the large number of other attractions Chris Arth, jr.’s, fine band will be heard in sacred con- cert in the afterncon and evening. The Pentz will leave her wharf at 11 a.m., 2:45 and 6 p.m., and will leave River View at 1, 5, and 9:30 pm. Tickets, 25 cents. The best dinner on the Potumac can be had in the cafe. The members and friends of Hamline M. E. Church and Sunday school will give their annual excursion to Marshall Hall on Wednesday, July 1. Boats will leave 930 and 10 a.m., 2:30 and 5 p.m. Return- ing, leave Marshall Hall at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. Ample provision will be made to ac- commodate all the patrons. The Jane Moseley Colonial Beach excur- sions are exceedingly popular trips out of Washington, and this magnificent steamer is making a record that wilt be all her own, and Colonial Beach patrcns are really for- tunate in having at their disposal a boat possessed of so many superior qualities. Her elegant and extravagent appointments give her a marked advantage over the or- dinary excursion steamer. A ride on the Moseley 1s attended by rest, comfort and pleasure, and the cool and spacious hurri- cane deck fe just the spot upon which to enjoy t refreshing and exhilarating breeze and to appreciate the scenic embel- lishments of the famous old Potomac. The luxurious saloon ¢ffords ample opportunt- ties for rest, while the commodious danc- ing hail is a source of pleasure to all. ‘There is concert and dance music, and ex- cellent table d’hote meals are served. The Moseley trips are made from the foot of Gth street daily (except Monday) at 9 a.m., and Saturdays at 6 p.m. A joint excursion was given yesterday on the steamer Pentz to River View by the Suftday schools of the Baptist Chapel, 5th and P streets; Gurley Church, Florida ave- nue, and the Ninth Presbyterian Church, N street near 9th. Over 1,700 pupils, teach- ers and friends made the trip, and the out- ing was successful in every particular. Each Sunday school had a committee, and the chairmen of these committees formed the executive committee in charge of the outing. This committee comprised Messrs. Brush, Linton and Nesbitt. The dancing contest at Mt. Vernon Park last evening attracted a large number of people, and the competition lasted until late in the evening. There were a large number of entries, and Mr. Archie Simpson and Miss Maggie Marmaduke of Alexan- dria carried off the two gold medals given for the best dancers. Another contest will be inaugurated this evening, and two med- als will be awarded, as usual. The ears leav2 every hour from 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue. A week from today ts the Fourth of July, and those in search of an unusually de- Ughtful and interesting trip to celebrate the nation’s holiday should take the ever- becoming-more-popular trip to New York by water, via the Norfolk and Washing- ton Steamboat Company's steamers. The Newport News, Norfolk and Washington, one of which leaves 7th street wharf every evening in the year at 7 o'clock, arrived at Norfolk at 7:30 the following morning. At Norfolk connections are made with the Old Dominion steamers, and after a de- lightful sail of twenty hours in the salt air of old ocean the landing is made in the metropolis. The accommodations on these steamers are first-class in all their appoint- ments, including an excellent table. Those desiring to remain a few days at Chamber- lin’s new hotel or the Hygela, at Old Point Comfort, will be granted that privilege. There is not a more beautiful sail any- where these early summer days, when the foliage is fresh and green and thesweather delightfully invigorating, than down the broad Potomac, with all its historical points of interest, to that popular summer resort, Colonial Beach, seventy miles from Washington, on a great stretch of the river, the beautiful beach facing directly toward the sea,whence come the salt-laden breezes so full of health and vigor. The river at this point is eight miles wide and the salt water surf bathing very fine. The Chesapeake and Potomac Steamboat Com- pany have made Colonial Beach of easy ac- cess to Washington by placing upon the route their elegant steamer John Sylvester, which has reduced the time to the Beach to four hours, faster time than any other boat has ever made. : This beautiful steamer has been aptly called the ‘greyhound. of the Potomac,” and she is elegantly fitted up, with every comfort that a first-class excursion boat requires. Her fast time and regular sched- uie, arriving at her destination within a few minutes of the same time every trip, her first-class dock terminals, with plenty of water, and the great experience of Capt. Posey and his officers, make the need of state rooms—always an objectionable fea- ture on day excursions—entirely superfiu- ous, as at the excursion wharf there is no danger of running aground, and the conse- quent chances of an all-night stay in the myd making state rooms e necessity. e entire space taken up by state rooms on other boats, on the Sylvester is thrown into immense saloons airy, cool and ele- gantly furnished. Private parlors for fami- ly parties and saloons exclusively for ladies and children. The meals served are a great feature of the trip, being under the per- sonal management of Mr. Spofford, former- ly of the Riggs House, music by the celebrated Esputa Orchestra, both on the boat and at the casino at the Beach. The Sylvester leaves the Clyde dock, foot of 7th street, tonight (Seturiay), at 6 o'clock and Sunday morning, ® o'ck and reaches Washington 10 p.m. Se Boards y length you want, nice and wide, for one cent a foot or one dollar Re 100 feet, or $10 for 1,000 feet.

An exciting runaway eecurred in Rock- ville, Md., yesterday, andbhad it not been for the wonderful nervetand expert horse- manship shown by a young lady, a dis- astrous accident in all igrobability would have to be chronicled. Alfout 7 o'clock in the evening Miss Lonie Boss was driving a spirited horse to a double-seated dogcart, which contained besides:cherself Mrs. Will Morgan and her infant-child, Mrs. Morgan's little boy and Miss Poss’ ‘younger sister. It appears that the trages of -the horse. were too long, and when he was being driven down the Main street hill, near the late Judge Bouic’s residence, the vehicle struck the horse’s hock# and he dashed off at breakneck speed. There was a number of residents out on Main street, who expected every moment to see the maddened animal dash the swinging ve- hicle against one of the big trees that line the sidewalks. Several men ran out and waved hats apd umbrellas at the horse, but this only served to increase his fright. During all this time Miss Poss was the coolest person of all. She had secured a double grasp on the reins, and -skillfully kept the horse in the middle of the road, and could be heard admonishing Mrs. Mor- gan to hold her baby tight and keep her seat, and instructing her sister to hold tight to the little boy. After running as hard as he could for about a mile Miss Poss managed to stop the animal. Mrs. Morgan and her children were assisted from the vehicle, but Miss Poss declined to alight, and after the traces were shortened drove off with her sister to finish her ride. ——— The Water Assessment Controversy. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Mr. Chester, in order to sustain his for- mer unjust statement, publishes a certifi- cate, signed Geo. T. Greer (should be Geo. T. Green), which certificate is, to say the least, misleading. The facts, according to the books of the water office, are: That lots 1, 2, 3. and 4, square 152, were adver- tised In 1875 for first and second install- ments, water main assessment ($449.49),and paid June 30, 1875; third and fourth in- stallments on same ($577.25) paid Decem- ber 29," 1880, and both payments properly credited, as books will show. In March, 1883, lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 were resubdivided into lots sub 70 te 04. May, 1893, 8. 59, square 152 (out of above), was again as- sessed for water main and advertised for second installment ($8), April, 1895, in name of John A. Massie. The tax office does not meke assessments, consequently is not responsible for this error, but upon complaint ‘ing made to the water office the tax was cancelled June 24, 1895, after it had been advertised (not paid), as Mr. Chester's certificate indicates. And the whole matter was fully explained to Mr. Chester at the time. Who has been inac- curate and unjust? E. G. DAVIS.

B. Hege, W. 8. Knox, C. E. Wood, F. K. Raymond and 8. H. Merrill, met Mr. Dingman and his associates in Baltimore and escorted them to this city. When the Baltimore and Ohio depot in this city was reached the travelers were grected by over 300 members of Almas Temple, under Chict Rabban Jesse Grant, with excellent music by Haley's Washington Band and a_pro- fusion of red fire. Imperial Potentate Ding- man and Theodore G. De Moll, grand high priest of the Rcyal Arch Masons of the District of Columbia, took seats in an open carriage, drawn by four white horses, and with the marching Nobles, lively and stir- ring music and a constant glzre of red fire, were escorted to the Netloral Rifles’ Armory by way of the avenue, 15th street, F and 10th sticets. Here an address of welcome was deliver- ed by Mr. Sincn Wolf, to which Imperial Potentate Dingman fittingly and feelingly replied. A pretty speech, recounting the Occurrences at Cleveland, was made by Mr. George H. Walker. ‘The evening was then devoted to social enJoyment.

Ite great’ cures recorted in truthful, convincing larguege of grateful men and women constitute its most effective adver- tising. Many of these cures are marvelous. They have won the confidence of tbe people: have given Hood's Sarsaparilla the largest rales in the world, and have made neces- sary for its manufacture the greatest 1abo- ratory on carth. Hood's Sarsaparilla 1s Known by the cures it has made—cures of scrofula, salt rheum and eczema, cures of rheumatism, neuralgia and weak nerves, cures of dyspepsia, liver troubles, catarrh— cures which prove Hood’s Sarsaparilla 3 KANSAS CITY, M0., CURED OF DISFIGURING ECZEMA BY THB CUTICURA REMEDIES. Our little baby of two months was badly affticted with eczema. It began when she was three weeks old, and in spite of all our skill and that of two g00d physicians she continued to grow werse. Her head, arma, neck and limbs, and, in fact, nearly every joint in her body, were raw and bleeding when we concluded to try CUTICURA REMEDIES. The child being so small and delicate, we began with CUTICURA (ointment) and CUTICURA SOAP, according to directions, and after the first applica- tion we conld see a change. When we bad used the remedies one week sbe was very much better, some of the sores had healed entirely and bad ceased to spread. After using them for less than ® month the child was free from scales and blem- ishes, and today has as lovely skin and hair as any child, She was shown at the grange fair when four and a half months old, and took the premium of a allver cup as the prettiest baby over sixteen others, We recommend CUTICURA REMEDIES to all our friends, and cannot praise them too highly.
