Last night’s rain storm drove hundreds of visitors to shelter, and it also had the ef- fect of keeping indoors most of the ha- bitual violators of the law, so that the po- lice had a resting spell. But in Ward's al- ley all the residents were not kept in their houses, for the Banks family and others had moved there from Glick’s alley, and, of course, there was trouble. There is always troubie of some kind in the vicinity of the Banks home, and last night, when some of the new neighbors failed to get a hearty welcome, there was an outbreak. Mary Smith was one of the new residents of the alley, and her living there caused Tobe Parker’s presence in the alley. Tobe had a bottle of gin, and wanted to treat all his friends, and then thought he would have scme fun with Mary by pouring some of the Hquid in her nose. Mary objected to this treatment, so she said, and then Par- ker went off and complained against her to Pcliceman Auldridge, who went in the al- ley and arrested the girl without due pro- cess of law. Mary was locked up, and this morning she was the leader of Judge Kimball's pro- cession. And Tobe Parker was relied upon to sustain the charge of disorderly conduct against her. “Judge, your honor,” said the girl, when arraigned, “I’m not guilty of the charge.” Then Tobe Parker was sworn, and he made an effort to tell of bad language used by the defendant, but he failed to make a good impression. “She tried to pick me up,” said Tobe, “and because I refused to go with her and treat her to something to drink she cursed me.” didn’t do any such thing,” said Mary, “and Tobe Parker don’t know anything about me. Because I wouldn't let him pour some gin in my nose he kicked me, and then had me arrested.” ‘What about the bad language?” “I didn’t use any bad language.” “Case dismissed.” Tom Mullen and Tom McMahon, young men who live in Northeast Washington, are companions, and last night they were out together. When they got caught in a shower they separated, and soon afterward they got arrested for disorderly conduct. They admitted their guilt, and were fined the usual amount. Acted as Peacemaker. George Orange’s barber shop on Pom- eroy street was closed this morning, and Persons living nearby wondered what was the matter. Later in the day the shop was opened, and the neighbors then learned that the village barber had been in the toils. “He was using bad language last night,” said Policeman Carson, “but was not pro- fane.” “I wasn't using bad language,” said the prisoner. “I was only acting as peace- maker when two frends were using bad language. Judge, I'm a poor boy, but I’m honest, and you can get my character from Policeman Willingham.” “I've known him for some time,” said the officer referred to, “and I've always known him to behave himself.” ‘When were you arrested last?” ‘This is my first time.” “In consideration of your good record,” the judge told him, “I am going to release you, but you must remember that this is a record against you, and in the future you should make an effort to keep out of trouble.”” John Childs, a young colored man from South Carolina, who says he is on the road looking for work, succeeded yesterday, but the rain soon deprived him of his means of earning a few pennies. “I was sellin’ lemonade for fifty cents a day,” he said, “but the rain got in the bucket and made the lemonade so weak that I couldn't sell it.” John and an acquaintance named George Brown were arrested last night for sleeping in Sullivan's stable, and Policeman Flather, who arrested them, charged’ them with vagrancy. “We were allowed to go in there,” said one of the defendants, “and had promised to clean two horses this morning for the privilege.”” “Who gave you the privilege?” A white man.” here was no white man in charge.’ “Well, I thought he was white,” explained the defendant, “but I saw him in the dark.” They were discharged, and the court ad- vised the South Carolinian to retura home. Another member of the short procession was a tall elderly man named Martin O'Brien, who is probably too old and feeble to work, although he says he is looking for employment. “I found him loitering about Brookland,” satd the officer who arrested him. “He has = means of support, and seems to have no easier? ‘When did you get out?” the court asked the old man. ‘orty-eight hours ago,” he answered. ‘How much did you get when you were here before?” “Fifteen days.” “You may have thirty this time,” said the court, “and the next time you come you will get sixty.” Policeman Stewart was in court to com- plain against Charles Hadger. He charged that Charles had obstructed the foot pave- ment on N street, in the neignborhood of the James Creek canal. “His body was on the sidewalk, and his feet were in the gutter,” was the officer's complaint. said the prison- was on the commons, er. “I had been drinking, and didn’t want to go home to my wife until I got sober.” For this offense Judge Kimball fined the unfortunate man $5, and it is probable that he will have to remain in the toils for two weeks. ——— The Marine Crops. The naval regulations as revised. con- tain provisions that are of special interest to the members of the Marine Corps, inas- much as they make the marine guard on shipboard a distinctive command having charge of certain guns. It is also provided that whenever practicable this guard shall be under the command of a marine officer. These important changes in the: regula- tions are the result of the protracted and persistent efforts of the Marine Corps to have the duties of the marines on board enlarged so as to place them in charge of scme of the guns. Heretofore the batter- ies have been manned exclusively by blue- jackets and the marines kept in the back- ground for guard duty, etc. Exvery effort to bring about a change in the interest of the marines has been vigorously resisted by the line officers on behalf of the “jack- ies,” and with entire success up to the present time. —— Excursion to Pen-Mar and Gettys- burg via Pennsylvania Rallroad.

THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1896-EIGHTEEN PAGES, ENDEAVORERS DINE. Committee of 06 Entertain the Of- ficers and Trustees. The committee of ‘96 took dinner last evening at the Ebbitt with the officers and trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor upon the invitation of the latter. In addition to the members of these two bodies, there were present as guests also several English Endéavorers, who have places on the convention program, includ- ing Rev. W. H. Towers, Rev. Joseph Brown Morgan, Rev. Arnold Strueli and others. ‘The members of the committee of '96 were sandwiched in among their more distin- guighed hosts around the table. After the meal had been concluded, Pres- ident Francis BH. Clark called the commit- tee in a body beside him and formally in- troduced them to the trustees, taking oc- casion to say some very pleasant things about the local workers. He told them that the trustees had been looking at their work and following their plans with crit- ical eyes, yet there was nothing that had been done that the officers or trustees could in any way find fault with, nor did they know of anything that should have been done that the committee had failed to prop- erly attend to. He called them a committee of “generals;” every one of them, he said, had achieved wonderful success in his par- ticular line of duty. On behalf of the trustees, he then pre- sented to each member of the committee a beautiful souvenir Christian Endeavor pin of solid gold, the C. E. monogram being studded with garnets, pearls and tur- quoises, the red, white and blue colors of this convention, and caught with a gold chain to a stick pin of gold. Chairman W. H. H. Smith responded for the committee, and thanked the trustees for the pleasant things they had said and thought of the re- sults of the labors of the committee.

The local detectives were not much sur- rised when they learned that Gov. wndes had offered the reward for the apprehension of members of the lynching parties in Charles and Montgomery coun- ties, for they have felt reasonably certain that when his attention was called to the matter by The Star he would take som action. te “This reward,” said one of the de- tectives, “‘will bring gome of the lynch- ers to justice to a moral certainty. There are plenty of men in the county who are arxious to do detective work, and some of them will de almost anything in this line, especially when there ts so much mcney at stake. What the governor should do is to have several of Baltimore's de- tective officers make an investigation, and I think they will get down to a number of the men.” Inspector Hollinberger did not feel so ccrfident about the matter. The trouble, he says, is in getting one neighbor to tell cn another. He doubted very much whether such a thing covld be accom- plished. Private Detective McDevitt says that the reward is too small. He says he thinks that the reward should be at least $5,000, enough to justify a man in being able to move to another part of the country after he succeeded in landing ths lynchers. The amount offercd «vould rot be sufficient for this, and thercfcre would not justify a man in going there and making the in- vestigation, for if they succeeded tn land- irg any of the lynchers their ‘own lives would be in danger, because the men in- terested in both the Buxton and Cocking cases are’'men of determination, who weuld not stop short of anything. bs Another detective, who did not want his name mentioned, said he thought the re- ward was large enough to justify some private’ detectives in making an effort in the cases, There are plenty of good men who are idle now and who would ne doubt make an effort in either case to earn the reward: :The Pinkerton detectives, he thought, could land all the lynchers with- in two weeks, and would do it if they were paid for-their services. But, he said, the Pinkertons do not: work for rewards, al- though he: felt certain that they would lard the lynchers, and the cost would not be as much as the amount of the reward offered. Mr, Buxton’s Injuries: GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 8.1896. To the Hdltor of The Evening Star: Tho citizens of Gaithersburg -appreciate the fact that your paper has been dis- posed to deal with reasonable fairness and with journalistic courtesy in the reports of the Buxton tragedy, which so shocked our ccmmunity in the recent past. We, there- fore, ask the use of your valuable eolumns for the following: The insinuations that Mr. R. L. Buxton, the most injured in heart and mind-of any man in cur community, and the victim him- self of great personal violence, had in- filcted the wounds on himself and on the members of his family have now grown into open charges, and these charges have found their way into the press. The peo- ple of Gaithersburg have felt that the idea was preposterous and that the charge was @ gross, unkind and malicious slander. We have felt so strergly on this subject that we have met all imsinuations suggesting such a thing with silent contempt. But the cowardly statements, continue to be made against Mr. Buxton,a madest,brave man,and all of our citizens feel outraged beyond expression. While we'do not think {t neces- sary to satisfy fair-minded and just peo- ple that the charge is false, we have de- termired to set the gross slander at rest by the publication of the sworn affidavits of Drs. E. C. and E.'H. Etchison, the phy- siclans in charge, and the statement of that eminent physielan, Dr. J. Ford Thompscn, fully confirming their conelu- sions, that it was a physical impossibility for Mr. Buxton to have inflicted the wounds upon himseif. I attach these sworn state- ments, and by the publication of them, to- gether with this card, you will greatly oblige your patrons in our town, and you will retder a service im the tine of simple, honest justice to yours, faithfully, : GAITHERSBURG. State ior Marylaud,” Montgomery county, to wit: Personally appeared before me, James E. Trundle, a notary publie in and for the county of Montgomery, state of Maryland, E. C. Etchison, D., and E. H. Etchison, D., who, being duly sworn, say: e€ were called to aitend R. L. Buxton and members of his family, who were brutally assaulted with an ax on the merning of May 22, 1896. We rendered professional services in dressing the wounds- of the aforesaid Buxtons. We critically examined the character and po- sition of each wound inflicted, and from our examination and the treatment ren- dered Mr. Buxton at that time, and on subseqvent occasions, exercising as we did our best professional abilities as physicians and surgeons, we unhesitatingly say, on cath, that our conclusion is that from the character and the position of the several wounds in Mr. Buxton’s head it was absolutely a physical impossibility for the said wounds to have been Inflicted by Mr. Buxton upon himself.

While -Mr. Buxton was in Washington at the Garfield Hospital I was, from time to time, in charge of his case, and fre- quently ‘dressed and examined his wounds. I have read the above affidavit of Drs. Etchison and fully concur in thelr conclu- sion. I belleve with Drs. Etchison that it is utterly jmpossible that Mr. Buxton could have inflicted the wounds upon himself. I examined him at his.home before his re- moval to the hospital and afterward, and there was not the slightest reason for such @ suspicion. J.

One of the best friends of the Christian Erdeavor mcvement in the Church of Eng- lana is the Rev. James Banning Richard- son, who presides at the Church of the Ascension this afternoon. Canon Richard- scn was born in Nova Scotia in 1843, and was educated at the University of King’s College, Windsor, N. S., graduating in 1865. After serving six years as rector of a church at Dartmouth, N.S., he was chosen rector of St. Thomas’ Church, Hamilton, Gntario, and three years later was called to the Memorial Church at London, On- tario. Canon Richardson was president of the Ontario Provincial Union for two terms, and at the Montreal convention he was made a trustee of the United Society. ——_—_ Mr. E.
