The Proposed Site for the New West- ern High School—Other In- teresting Local Notes. The Fourth of July was celebrated in great style this year, and despite the or- ders of the Commissioners there was every bit as much celebrating in the streets, if not more, than in previous years. The of- ficial grounds for firing off freworks which was designated as the Morton estate, near the Lyons mill, was deserted, and only one or two people were out there. They did not remain long, however, leaving only a few Policemen to stand guard and prevent any accidents. The decorations in the town were con- spicuous. The national colors were dis- played at many houses, with pretty effect. On account of the day many of the busi- ness houses closed earlier than usual. Most of the barber shops closed at noon. The Clerks’ Assembly circulated a pe- tition among all the dry goods and shoe houses in town and secured the signatures of all but two storekeepers, who refused to close up, and who wanted to know what the Fourth of July was. At the police station very few arrests were made, and most of these for persons who celebrated the national holiday by taking too much internal stimulants. The small boys were permitted to shoot off their firecrackers without interruption, and Young America took advantage of all the opportunities offered him. New Western High School. The site of the Western High School has, itis understood, been practically agreed upon. The location is the land now occu- Died by a public school, on the old Blunt estate, on the north side of O street be- tween 30th and 81st streets, which is also used as the office of the supervising prin- cipal of the fifth division of the public schools. The site is a most central one, and is without a doubt the best that can be_ secured. ‘The Commissioners want a site which has a frontage of at least 200 feet. The front- age of the Blunt property is only 186 feet, but it is hoped that possession can be ob- tained of the adjoining property, which is a part of the Bodine estate. If this can be done the location of the new building’ is quite certain to be on this property. The location of the High School at this place, however, practically robs Georgetown of one school, the building now on the site used for educational purposes. More defi- nite arrangements will be ascertained later, as the negotiations for the site pro- gress, Cable Construction. The work on the cable construction is being pushed forward as rapidly as possi- ble. Though the cable cars run as far as the Aqueduct bridge, the work on filling in the track has progresed at a slow rate, made necessary by the cars running over the open portion. The work, it 1s expected, will be completed by Monday or Tuesday evening, and the cars run without any in- terruption. Rod and Gun Club. The West End Rod and Gun Club will take its first trip of. the season tomorrow morning to Cabin John Bridge, and in honor of the event a number of friends of the club will be invited to attend. The handeome club boat house has been taken in the canal, and tomorrow morning at 7:30 o'clock the start will be made, the motive power being three strong mules. The day will be spent in fishing, and an enjoyable time is expected. Notes, The death of Rev. Father McGuirk is regretted by a number of Georgetown peo- ple who were well acquainted with the popular priest. The colored people of this section of the city gave an old-time Fourth of July pic- nic today at Cox's woods, starting out this morning witt: a large procession, headed by a band. Mr. Henry C. Burrows, a son of Precinct Detective Burrows, has been appointed on the police force. Mr. William J. Certwright, a highly re- spected citizen of West Washington, lies extremely ill at his residence, 1308 Dumbar- ton avenue, and his death {s hourly ex- pected. Mr. Cartwright, who is seventy- nine years of age, is a native of St. Mary's county, Md., but has resided in George- town many years. ———___ Transfers of Real Estate. John Cook, trustee, to Joseph 8.

She was discovered before the poison had done the deadly work intended, and the police took her to the Emergency Hospital in the patrol wa- gon. Domestic troubles, she says, caused her to take the poison. The physicians at the hospital soon succeeding in relieving her of the effects of the drug, and she is now glad she was discovered so sgon after she took the dose. = The North American Review for July has been received from Robert Beall, 495 Pennsylvania avenue. ———.—_—_- - To Secure Quarters at St. Paul.

The Approaching Hented Term Draws Crowds Thither. ning Star. COLONIAL BEACH, Va., July 3, 1896. Notwithstanding the earliness of the sea- gon, this beautiful resort, the summer home of so many Washingtonians, is becoming more crowded each day. Many improvements have been made at the Beach this spring, and several places of amusement have been added to those already here, such as bowling alleys, sum- mer gurdens and race track. The most noticeable improvement ts the new pavilion in course of construction, built over the water 100 feet from the shore and reached by a thirty-foot pier. The pavilion ts to be three stories in height, first floor to be used as a dining hall, the second floor as a roller skating rink in the daytime and dancing pavilion in the evening. The third floor is to be devoted to the accommoda- tion of excursionists. The whole is to be sur- mounted by a roof garden. Each floor Is to contain 2,500 square feet. The whole is to be surrounded by a porch with awning for shading purposes. With very few exceptions all of the cot- tages are occupied, including the forty or fifty new ones recently built. Mr. George Leoffler has built quite a large and handsome house on Dennison street. Mr. C. W. Walcott has changed his pavilion into an apartment house. Dr. R. H. Evans has given a handsome lot in the rear of the large hotel to the bishop of Richmond for the erection of a Catholic church. This is a desirable step, as there are a number of Catholic families who summer here. Dr. Fairfax, from the lower end of the county, with others, is layirg out a half- mile race track near the beach, which ne contemplates to have in full operation by July 4..

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The editorial in The Star of yesterday in regard to the proposed battle abbey of the south is almost absolutely in line with the ideas and wishes of the confederate veter- ans in this city and a large number else- where who are prominently identified with the work of securing the location of a sovthern historical memorial building in Washington. If a “battle abbey,” pure and simple, is to be erected none of us want it here under any circumstances. In a lengthy article published in The Star March 31 last the following paragraph ap- peared “The original proposition for a mere mu- seum of relics, or a simple ‘battle abbey,’ as it is often designated, has outgrown it- self in the importance and advisability if not necessity for something upon a grander scale and for a more comprehensive pur- pose. “To the Washington contingent of ex-con- federates is due, perhaps, the more ex- tensive scheme, and the plans and pur- poses suggested by them have found ad- vocates in all sections. Should Washington be selected for the location of the building it is understood that at least $750,000, and probably, with an endowment fund includ- ed, $1,000,000, will be made available for the purpose. Such an edifice as contemplat- ed would include a complete historical de- partment, a department of art and sculp- ture, one devoted to industrial and agri- cultuea! resources, a grand representative batt ey hall, as embodied in the prim- a tion; an apartment of exhibits for each state, meeting halls, rooms and an auditorium with a seating capacity of three or four thousand. “In addition to its being a monument to its history and tradittons, the proposed me- morial will be for the south an exponent of its great manufacturing, mineral and agricultural advantages to the intelligent Prospector, capitalist and investor and im- migrants from other portions of the coun- try as well as from abroad. Its influence would, it is claimed, be felt in hundreds of ways, and it would be seen and visited by thousands who would never see or hear of It 1f located in any other city.” Arguing in the same line with your edi- torial regarding the location of a “battle abbey,” I believe it would be as inappro- priate to locate so comprehensive a build- ing as that contemplated in the recent $500,000 proposition of Mr. Rouss in a southern city as to put a “battle abbey merely in Washington, for it would be per- fectly useless for the far-reaching purposes intended. I am in a position to assert that the ideas of Mr. Rouss coincide with the above almost, if not entirely, in regard to the intention of the enlarged plan, hence his second proposition. Now, as it is the glorious Fourth, and a good deal has been said recently in the pa- Pers of an acrimonious nature about the reunicn at Richmond, the confederates of Washington and the “rebels” gene ‘ally, al- low me t6 bubble over a line or two apro- pos. On Flag day last year I left my home for my place of business (where I am the only southerner and confederate in a veri- table nest of northern and Grand Army friends), with a United States flag flying from the front of my wheel and one on my coat. I was the only one of my confrerees 80 thoughtful of the stars and stripes, and catching on to the point, I went’ out, bought up a lot of miniature flags and pinned one on the lapel of each one's coat as an object lesson. On Decoration day this year I, with a Profound reverence for the brave dead whose memory was being celebrated, saw that my large home flag was floating ‘rom my own house before I left. Coming along the distance of more than a mile through the northwest, I saw only two flags fioat- ing, both from the same house—1219 H street the.

The detectives on duty at the railrond stations will continue to watch the crofds for crooks until most of the visiting En- deavorers arrive, and then all the members of Inspector Hollinberger’s force will do duty where the large crowds assemtie. Yesterday two arrests were made. One of them was made by Detective Rhodes when he reached the Baltimore and Po@omac de- pot on his return from Richmond. John Witherow was the man whom he arresied, and he locked him up as a suspicious per- son, and may hold him for the Richmond authorities. Witherow is the man who was here several years ago with a woman whom he called his wife. At that time they were alleged “panel” workers, and in their room the detectives found a completg opium “lay-out.” The officer saw Witherow on the train, and suspected him of complicity in a pock- etbook robbery in Richmond. The prisoner denies the charge, and says he was on his way home to Philadelphia. The other arrest was made at the Balti- more and Ohio depot by Detective Hartigan of the sixth precinct. The prisoner gave his name as Charles Anderson, his age as forty-five years, and his occupation as that of a stonecutter. Railroad men pointed him out to the officer when a lady had charged that he had attempted to pick her pocket. this pinch?” he asked the officer when the latter asked him to take a walk. When told it was, he offered the officer $10 to let him go. He told the officer that he war on his way to Winchester, V This morning he offered to leave the city if the officers would release him, but in- stead of uoing this, they photographed him and are holding him to find the wo- is whom it is charged he attempted to reb. ——— Sent Down Again. Edward Thompson, a young man, who was released from jail yesterday, where he had served time for threatening his wife, went to the house in the “Division” where his wife is employed last night and frightened all the women in the house. He threatened his wife's life again, and Policeman Williams arrested ‘him. The case was heard in the Police Court today and Edward was sent down again for six months in default of bond. ——.__. Painfally Injured. Joseph Matney, colored, met with a pain- ful accident this morning while riding on a stone wagon near 4% street and Virgin'a avenue. His foot caught in one of the wheels and hie ankle was badly crushed. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital by the police. a Alarm of Fire.
