For the purpose of giving warning of the approach of tropical hurricanes (and also of those extremely severe and dangerous storms which sometimes pass across the lake region and north Atlantic coast), the weather bureau has adopted a special sig- nal called the hurricane signal, consisting of two red flags, with black centers, dis- played one above the other. This signal will be displayed at all weather bureau offices and wind signal display stations on the Atlantic and gulf ccasts and the great lakes, and also at numerovs other points at sea and lake ports and along the coasts mentioned. (No distirctive night signal will be used.) In a number of instances arrangements have been made with steamship and steam- boat lines to display this signal on their vessels. Special efforts have been put forth to provide for the dissemination of these warnings in sections beyond the reach of telegraphic communication, along the south Atlantic and gulf coasts and the adjaceat isignds, and to this end arrange- ments have been made in many of the most exposed and thickly settled of these local- iuics whereby tugs, pilot boats, revenue cutters or other steam vessels will pass through the waters in the vicinity display- ing the hurricane signal by day and firing rockets by night and blowing their whistles tc attract attention thereto. Among the districts thus referred to may be mentioned Galveston bay and vicinity, Mobile bay ang vicinity, the west Florida coast from Tampa bay south, and the coasts, islands ard bays of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia. The flag signals will also be displayed from the Frying Pan shoals lightship off the North Carolina ccest (warnings being conveyed thither by a tug from Southport, N. C.), the Cross Rip lightship in Nantucket sound and the lightships Sandy Hook and Scotland off New York. Among the steamship lines dis: playing the flag signal may be mentioned the Scuthern Pacific, Pacific Mail, Crom- well, Munson, Mallory, Plant and Ward lres. ‘This: circular is published in order that the information regarding the hurricane signals may be as widely distrifuted as possible among the interestsan% in the regions concerned, and all persons to whom {t may come are requested-to aid kn spread~ ing the intelligence it contains as far as may be in their power.’ All residehts-in the localities referred to herein “re’.enjoined to be especially alert during the Rurricane season, and particularly whenever the Weather is threatening, to note the signals when given; and it is hoped that)‘all who are so fortunate as to réceive’ the-warning, by this means will be willing $o make some sacrifice in order to give as many as possible the benefit of it. It is recom- mended that in the localities where these storms are liable to cause the’-greatest destruction some arrangement*be made be- forchand by the citizens themgglves for the distribution of the warnings {o points be- yond the reach of telegraphig» communica- tion or beyond sight and seund! of the Signals before described. This “nay be done .by means of couriers op hdfseback, displaying a signal from somé high point, firing rockets, or such other simple math- ods as may suggest themselves. ~ The weather bureau will be glad to assist in any such arrangement by delivering the warnings, whenever it can be done by telegraph or other méans at its -ommand, to some designated point for distribution. Owners and masters of vessela, who are willing to co-operate with the bureau in this humane service by displaying the sig- nals on their vessels,.or using them to distribute warnings in given localities, are requested to communicate with the near- est weather bureau official or with this office. 3 : The rockets used by the bureau in this connection will be red meteor rockets, which ascend to the height of three hun- dred or four hundred feet, and-emit a bril- Mant red star which burns to the ground or the water's edge. ee BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Arrangements Made for Oaring for Them During the Present Fiscal Year. Repairs Made to the Executive Man- sion—Franklin Park Spring Cle: ed Out — Other Matters. In his report of operations on public buildings and grounds during the month of July, Col. Wilson, the officer in charge, tells of extensive arrangements made for exe- cuting the provisions of the acts of Con- gress for the maintenance and improve- ment of these public places during the Present fiscal year. He says that minor re- pairs and improvements were made during the past month at the Executive Mansion. The entire exterior of the mansion was thoroughly washed, a steam engine being used for that purpose. The large table, the small tables and the sideboards in the state dining room were scraped and refinished end forty dining room chairs were repaired and regimped. The silver drawers in the private dining room were partitioned and lined. The electric light plant was over- hauled and all the wires and fixtures were put in good condition. The usual care was extended to the large collection of plants, and many of them were repotted for winter use. The propagstion of foliage and decora- tive plants was continved. : Washington Monument. ‘ There were 36,812 visitors to the top of the monument during the past month, of which number 12,630 ascended by the ele- vator and 24,182 by the stairway, making a total of 1,281,089 persons who have visit- ed the top of the monument since it was first opened to the public, October 9, 1888. Certain works of improvement are in progress at the Ford’s Theater bullding on 10th street for the purpose of providing a room for an electric storage battery. This work consists of cutting several openings for ventilating purposes, the construction of a brick retaining wall and the laying of a brick pavement in the basement. The work is nearly completed. At the War Department printing office, 1725 F street, work has been begun for the reconstruction of the annex, painting the building, laying new floors and introducing new heating apparatus. The work is con- ducted by days’ labor. Openings have been made to permit the transfer of the heavy printing presses to the main building while the reconstruction of the annex is under way. The work of improving the northeast sec- tion of Washington Monument Park was commenced last month, and two roads were laid out and partially constructed, leading from near 15th and B streets to lith street and to the main road north of the monument. These roads were excavat- ed to a width-of thirty feet for a length of 857 feet. All storage piles on the grounds will be removed to the flats west of the government nursery during the present month, thus complting the grading of these grounds. The Smithsonian Grounds. In the Smithsonian grounds the work of improvement around the pedestal for the Gross statue has been nearly completed. A walk south of the pedestal, one hun- dred feet long and seven feet wide, has been prepared for asphalting. The asphalt roads in the Smithsonian grounds will be repaired this month. Lines have been laid out for asphalt walks in Lincoln and Stan- ton parks, and they will be laid this month. The main road near the south balcony of the Executive Mansion has been graded for asphalting over an area of two hundred yards, and the gravel removed for use in other localities. One of the largest trees in the south grounds, which has heen slow- ly dying for the past fifteen years, was cut down a few days ago, and the greater por- tion of the roots found to be dead, due probably to the presence of an underground electric wire placed there in 1881. Col. Wilson says that the grounds occu- pied by the Christian Endeavor convention were cut up by wagons and horsemen and trampled by thousands of people, doing con- siderable damage. At the close of the convention, however, the committee in charge promptly removed the tents and poles, cleared up all refuse and restored the grounds as nearly as possible to their former condition without experse to the United States, The Propagating Gardens. The propagation of ferns and geraniums Was ‘continued at tne greenhouses and nurseries, and about 4,600 plants—smilax, violets, allysium and carnations—were set out for winter use. About 1,200 plants were sent out for use in the parks to re- place those stolen or destroyed. About 200 gold fish have been placed in the various fountain basins in the parks. The new fountain basin in the reservation at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street has been lined with Portland cement and the water turned on. The asphalt roadway in Judiciary Park has been extended, and the asphalt walks repaired. The asphalt walks in Lafayette and-Farragut parks have also been repaired. New asphalt walks have been laid in Mt. Vernon Park, and the improved reservations at New York avenue and 10th street and at Massachusetts avenue and 5th street. Col. Wilson says that this class of work will be continued in several of the other improved reservations north of Pennsylvania avenue and west of the Capitol during the present month. Two fountain jets which had been stolen were replaced. “It seems almost incred- ible,” says Col. Wilson, “that there should be persons so mean and contemptible that they would willfully destroy or steal parts of these fountains, which give so much pleasure to their fellow-beings.” Franklin Park Spring. The spring in Franklin Park was cleaned out last month. Six inches of mud were removed and replaced with clean gravel. The supply feeding the spring is so small, says Col. Wilson, that the water no longer runs to the Executive Mansion. The entire pipe line was flushed with Potomac water, and an abundant supply delivered at the mansion, showing, Col. Wilson sa; that the fault was not In the pipes. “Proposals were invited during the month,” says Col. Wilson, “for lighting with electricity Lafayette, Franklin, Judi- clary and Lincoln parks. No action will be taken pending the investigation by the Commissioners of the District as to their authority to grant permits for laying con- duits, and so forth, in the streets and avenucs of the city. An arrangement has been made for the erection of new long poles for the tele- graph lines connecting the Capitol with the various executive departments to replace the short poles now in position, many of which, Col. Wilson says, are in a dangerous condition. The new poles will be delivered by August 31, and erected during the month of September. eS A HORRIBLE SCENE. Jim Corbett’s Pet Lion Bites Of a Child's Head. Eddie Hurd, the two-year-old son of Manager Hurd, was killed by a lion yester- day at Chillicothe, Ohio. Hurd and his wife are in charge of a part of Hagen beck’s trained menagerie, which is exhib- iting at the fair grounds, near the town. during the week of the Ross county fair. As a drawing card they had a two-year- old lion tied to a stake near the entrance to the tent. The lion belongs to Jim Cor- bett, the prize fighter, and was not re gerded as ferocious. Hurd and his wife were at the tent entrance taking tickets, with a big crowd on the outside. Litule Eddie had been playing around the tent and finally ventured too near the lion, which had been watching him closely, Suddenly the lion switched his tail vio- lenily, sprang forward and the next in- stant the child's entire head was in the animal's mouth. People screamed and fled, while Manager Hurd rushed to the lion seized him by the jaws, pulled them apart and the headless body of his boy fell to the grcund. It required a long time to club the lion into submission and get him into his cage. The audience was dismissed and no performance was given. IF YOU LACK ENERGY Take Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Extending the Police Patrol to Tenley- town. Four Men m Duty—Death of Well- Known Residents—Departure of Father Zimmerman. The petitions of the residents of Tenley- town have at last been heeded, and every- one in the suburban village now feels more secure from midnight marauders. Better police facilities have been provided, and the dwellers of the place need no longer depend upon the mounted police force for sole protection. The increase In the police force gave an increase to the Georgetown station, and four patrolmen have been de- tailed for regular duty at Tenleytown, just ths same as street duty in the city proper. Policemen Ward, Giles, Smith and Blake have been assigned to the village, and they are expected to maintain the peace and quiet of the entire place. Their work com- menced yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, the first trick of duty commencing with the regular city duty. During the day but one man is on duty at a time, but after 6 o'clock in the evening the patrolmen travel in pairs. Their appearance in the village is apt to have a salutary effect upon the “tough” element. On account of the dis- tance from Washington the men cannot at all times report to the Georgetown st: tion. Under the orders received they are required to report at 8 o'clock every morn- ing In person, and for the balance of the time they report through telephone. In addition to this the men are required to make hourly reports through the telephone. Now that police protection is given in a better manner than ever before, the resi- dents will feel more and more the necessity of a substation. The place ts nearly three miles from town and the distance is too great to carry prisoners every time an ar- rest is made. Already a movement is on foot to have established a substation simi- lar to the Anacostia station, and the mat- ter will be pushed. The mounted police force will now be enabled to give more at- tention to the county west of Rock creek, which is plenty large enough for the nine mounted men to pstrol thoroughly. Death of Mrs. Boggs. Mrs. Ellen Carter Boggs died yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock at her residence, 3035 Dumbarton avenue, in the seventy- sixth year o1 ner age, after a comparative- ly short illress. She was the widow of William Renton Boggs, pay director in the United States navy. She was a well-known resident. Her father was Charles Landon Carter of Ridgeville, while her mother was Ann Stuart of the well-known Virginia family. of that-name, a near relative of the Lees. Most cf her life was spent in the house In--which she died. Her husband, Commodore Boggs, was a nephew of Capt. Lawrence cf revolutionary fame, who was @ great nephew to Morris, the Secretary of State under President George Washington. Her husband had the distinction of being one of five naval officers by that name serving in the navy during the late war. He was a brother to Admiral Boggs, whose life was lust by the sinking of the U. S. S. Vareina in the Mississippi river at the bat- tle of New- Orleans. Commodore William Benton Boggs was fleet paymaster, and at one time risked his Mfe to recover $5,000,- 000 intrusted to his eare, being severely burned in the attempt. The deceased was the mother of Lawrence Boggs, who is still paymaster in tne naval service, and of William Benton Boggs, jr. who died of yellow fever several years ago in South America, where he was serving as engi- neer, having been ordered while at that Station to the U. S. S. Adams. He con- tracted the dread disease while on his way to duty. Mrs. Boggs took very little inter- est in the topics of the day, but her remi- niscences’ of earlier days were very inter- esting, her versatility in history being un- bounded. Her life since the death of Com- modore Boggs had been one of seclusion, her beautiful estate being her delight. She was well off in. worldly goods, was an ex- ample of charity and a true, self-sacrific- ing Christian, and beloved by a large circle of acquaintances. Her funeral will be held Saturday morning at 12.0’clock from her late residence. Father Zinimerman’s Depnrture. Rev. Father Zimmerman, the assistant pastor of Trinity Church, who recently suc- ceeded Rev. Father Aloysius Roccofort, left Tuesday for New York, where he will take a steamer and cross the ocean to his home in Germany. During the few months’ Stay at this parish he made many friends, and his departure is regretted. His suc- cessor, Rev. Father McCarthy, is not ex- pected in the city until the fore part of next month, and during that time the pas- tor of Trinity, Rev. Father William Scan- lan, S. J., will’be assisted by some of the Jesuit fathers of Georgetown University. The new assistant pastor was one of the fathers who recently gave a successful mis- sion at Trinity Church. Death of Wm.:-T,. Pay Mr. William T. Payne died last evening at his residence at 3013 Dumbarton avenue, after an illness of a-few days. The de- ceased was about fifty-five years of age and a well-known business man. He was the proprietor of the coach manufactory on Pennsylvania avenue between 25th and 26th streets, run urider ‘the name of John Payne Sons, an old established business. The deceased was also prominently identi. fied with the Masonic order, and was a member of Potomac Lodge, No. 5, Potomac Chapter, ‘No. 8, and Potomac Commandery, No. 3. The funeral will be held under the auspices of this fraterrfity. He leaves a widow and family. Dangerous Methods. The method of hauling crushed stone on the Georgetown and Tenleytown electric road is being criticised by a good many residents, who leok for a serious accident. Only a few days ago a stone car started down the steep incline between the canal and the river, the single brake being entire- ly insufficient to check the heavy weight The stone cars are coupled to the regular passenger cars and earried up to Tenley- town, and should the heavy weight break the coupling pin there is nothing in the world to prevent a serious accident. Casualties Joseph A. Lyies, a colored laborer, em- ployed at Wheatley’s wharf, while at work yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock unload- ing a schooner of lumber, was overcome by the heat. The patrol wagon was summoned and the prosirate man taken to his home, at 2613 Dumbarton avenue, where medical attendance was summoned. His condition is serious, Thomas McCormack, a white man, while attempting to step on car 265 of the Capi- tal Traction Company yesterday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock, at the corner of 28th and M streets, fell and was struck by the car. He was injured about the head and shoulders. Policeman H. G. Pratt as- sisted the man and called the patrol wagon, which conveyed the victim to the Police station, where Dr. A. B, Shekell was sum- moned and dressed his wounds. Later the man was removed to his home, at 3252 Grace sireet. Notes. Messrs. Vinton Birch and Allie Craig, well-known young men, have left the city on their bicycles for a trip to Carlisle, Pa. They will return some time next week. Mr. Harry L. Collins, a well-known young man, whose parents live on O street, a graduate of Cornell University, and now employed in the Edison electrical shops at Schenectady, N. ¥., has been ordered to proceed to Toledo, Ohio, in the capacity of an electrical engineer, to test some im- portant electrical works now being erect- ed in the latter place.
