CITY AND DISTRICT. ame eS EXCURSIONS. ‘The excursion of Federal City Lodge, I ©. O. F., tomorrow evening, to Marsnall Hall, promises to be one of the great suc- cesses of the season. Without doubt, the Steamer Macalester will be comfortably filled with the hundreds who wish to en- icy the cool sail down the Potomac and Perticipate in the various amusements for Which Marsha!l Hall is famous. With the O44 Fellows as hosts, there is no doubt but that every guest will 5; @ most de- lightful evening. One of the sensations of the season at fvummer river resorts will take place to morrow evening at River View when a Young lady who goes under the name of Mademoiselle Grace. but who is in reali- ty a well-kaown society girl, will ride the chute on le. Those who have rid- den down the steep incline on the beats Know how swift fs the descent, and when fe of one who Is to take the a wheel, which will gather added s from every inch gone over, it Is ed to take the breath away.

It is esti- M™mated that on account of the absence of friction the wheel and {ts rider will get up & speed of no less than nearly a hundred miles an hour when the machine strikes the water, and there will be an immense crowd to wonder whether the performer will come up to the aurface dead or altve. The Confederate Veterans’ excursion to Marshall Hail, which was to have taken Plaee this evening, has been postponed 1 defiattely. its place the Macalester Head and Marshall Ieck. The orchestra will be on hand to furnish music on both trips and at the Hall, and an elaborate program of dance music bas been prepared for use on the dancing pavilion at that place. —— Arion Rowling Clab Banquet. The annual banquet of the Arion Bowl- ing Club took place last evening at Arion Hail, and was an enjoyable affair in every Fespect. The table decorations were rich and very artistic, and the hall decorations especially grand, made up of palms, potted pl and large quantities of flags and bunting. The menu was all that could be Wished for, having been prepared by Mr. 4H. Klingler, also a member. During the evening there were a number of vocal and instrumental selections ren- dered, Mr. 8. Desio acting as accompanist. Mr. Fred C. Schlaich was master of cere- monies, and during the evering he made a heat and weil-worded speech, reviewing in @ genera! way the history of the club, and so especiaily complimenting Mr. J. Bruegger, the captain of the club, for his steady and untiring efforts to make the club a success. He was also presented with a bandsome silver water service, hay- ing recently won this during the club tour- nament. Messrs. Lehman, Ford and Mc- Knew also made short addresses, which brought forth considerable merriment, and it is needless to say that It was well into the sma!l hours of the morning when this pleasant affair concluded.

A Wagon Tour Through Maryland ud the Eastern Shore Peninsula. Staff Captain Blanche Cox, in command of the Salvation Army for the district comprised in the states of Maryland, Vir- g nia, Delaware and the District of Colum- bia, and who, for several months, has been engaged in collecting the material for an active summer campaign In the towns and villages in the states named, will start on her proposed tour Saturday next. The staff captain and the active officers of the army in Washington, Capt. Worthington and Lieut. Hopkins, have been very much amused and at the same time thoroughly €isgusted at most of the accounts which have appeared in the papers of New York and other cities concerning the proposed trip, and Capt. Worthington said last even- ing to a Star reporter that one of ‘he Washington papers had also published an article on tue subject which was full of glaring inaccuracies and misstatements. “It is not true,” said Capt. Worthingion, “that either the staff captain, her atd-de- camp, Capt. Hill, or the six lassies who are to accompany them will be mounted on horses or bicycles, or that they will play banjos. The party will consist of those mentioned and a lieutenant of the army, who will act as groom for the horses. The traveling will be done in two vehicles, a wagonette, to which two horses will be at- tached, and a wagon something like a dayton, which will be drawn by one horse, and although Capts. Cox and Hill are both expert bicycle riders, their wheels will be left in Washington.” Horses Provided. ‘Through the kindness of friends among whom the staff captain has labored in the Gospel cause during her residence in Wash- ington, the horses and other supplies nev- essary for the trip have been provided without any expense to the general treas- ury of the army. The money to purchase one of the horses was contributed by per- sons who attended the Summit Grove, Pa., camp meeting a couple of weeks ago, and to whom Capt. Cox endeared herself very Tmuch by her hard work, and the funds for another were given her by the members of Waugh M. E. Church, Washington, where she has also been of great service as a vol- unteer missionary helper. The third horse and one of the wagons was loaned to the staff captain by a friend in this city, who is very anxious that the tour of the party should be a great success. According to the plan of campaign, the staff captain and her ald, Capt. Hill, who meanwhile will arrive here from England, will go to Washington Grove, which has been fixed upon as a rendezvous for the corps, Saturday next, and there they wil! meet the other members of the party. Most of the latter are already in Balti- more, where some of them have been sta- tioned for some time past. It is the inten- tion of the corps to have a camp meeting at Washington Grove during the five days beginning Sunday next, and on that day and the fcliowing Commander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker have promised to attend. After the close of the camp meeting at the Grove the corpse will proceed by easy stages to Hagerstown, which, it is expect- ed, they will reach by the 25th instant. No opportunity will be lost to hold public meetings, and the staff captain has been tendered the use of so many churches and other public buildings for the services to be held by the members of the corps that the idea of having a tent for this purpose, as was at first intended, has been aban- doned. Where the use of buildings will be impracticabie, the wagons will be utilized as rostrwas. Th. Route to Be Followed. From Hagerstown the ccrps may possibly penetrate a short distance into Pennsyl- vania ard hold meetings there. En route east the corps will visit the jails, the alms- houses and all other places where suffer- ing humanity 1s likely to be found, and words of comfort will be spoken to the in- mates of all such Institutions. The cam- paign will last two months, and during that period the corps expects to hold serv- ices and accomplish much permanent good in the entire country lying between the mountains of western Maryland and the extreme southern part of the eastern shore of Virginia, bordering on the Atlantic ocean. This is the second campaign of this kind of which Capt. Cox has had command. Last fall she headed a corps in the west, which made a tour of the state of Col- orado, with the result that a vast amount of geod was accomplished. In speaking of that trip to a Star reporter Capt. Cox said: “It was most worderful, and we had the greatest success. In the evening we would come to some place where we would decide to camp. Then the tents would be hastily erected and we would have a most pleas- ant meal. Sometimes a tramp would join us and enjoy some food with us. Some- times the distance traversed before the next night would be slight; we held so many wayside meetings. When we reach- ed a large village or town we would get the use of some hall or church, and I as- sure you that we had tremendous crowds. Sometimes the church would be so crowded that people sat around in the adjoining flelds and took part In the meetings. Then they would pass in their offerings through the windows. The Western Campaign. “On our western trip we traveled over a thousand miles, and stopped at Leadville and Cripple Creek for a few days each. We had free transportation there, but we can- not get it here. We bought two horses out there, and sold them for more than we paid for them, after using them all summer. We visited the state prison at Canyon City, where there were over x) convicts, and they were greatly interested in our work. People used to drive forty or fifty tailes to attend our meetings. I have no doubt that our enterprise will be followed. up by similar movements in other parts of the country. Much good can be accom- plished in this way, I am sure. There are many people who think that the work of the Salvation Army consists only of street meetings, but, on the contrary, that is the least of our work. We visit the houses of the poor, and frequently da we go to work to clean up the house and show the women how to care for their children. We care for the sick and pray by their bedsides. We bury the dead and do much that helps the suffering and the needy. “The novelty of the idea of the coming campaign seems sure to appeal to just that class of persons it is intended to reach. While the Salvation Army is in itself a noveliy, the great desire of all people for something new, even though it be a change from the famillar, is sure to stamp with popularity an effort of this nature. The soldiers of the corps will go into the high- ways and byways for converts, and whether attention ts first drawn by the equipment or the melodies to which the Salvation las- sies will give voice, there seems small doubt that the ultimate object of this latest way to save souls will be accomplished.” ——.—__ The finest, the best boards, only $1 per 100 ft.

THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1896-TEN PAGES. McKINLEY AND HOBART. Enthusiastic Republicans Preparing for Lively Campaign Work.- ‘There was a large and enthusiastic at- tendance at the meeting of the McKinley and Hobart Club held at the Raleigh Ho- tel last night, over which President Cheney presided, with George L. Emery as secre- tary. Chairman H. P. Clements of the membership committee presented twenty- one names of new members and all were elected. The executive committee was given full authority to select a distinctive uniform for the club, and will report its decision at another meeting to be held to- morrow night at the Raleigh. Maj. Odell read a letter from National Committeeman Myron M. Parker, in which the latter expressed the opinion that the club should be made one of wide influence. A torchlight procession will be given in honor of Mr. Parker in a few days. It was announced that the arrangements for the ratification meeting to be held under the auspices of the organization are nearly completed. There were several speeches made, and after choosing Albert 8. Odell, captain; J. J. Nersur, first Heutenant, and W. A. Lowd, second -lieutenant of the marching club, the meeting adjourned. aS AMUSEMENTS, Attaches’ Benefit—The annual benefit for the attaches of the New National Theater took place last night, and, judging from the patronage which was accorded the event, the employes of the house stand very high in the favor of the public. Apart from the object of the benefit, however, the program was an excellent one, and those who con- tributed toward the fund experienced more than the usual amount of entertainment. The Washington Stock Company, assisted by several local artists, made up the pro- gram. The first feature was the first act of “Snowball,” with Fred Bond, John Find- lay, Charles Mackay, Tony Cummings, Edythe Chapman, Corinne Parker and Mary Sanders in the cast. “Snowball” was one of the most popular pieces in the re- pertoire of the stock company, and the suc- cess of its first rendition was repeated last evening. Following the act from “Snow- ball” came the balcony scene from ‘Romeo and Juliet," with Mr. William Boag and Miss Mary Sanders as the principals. The scene was well given, and the appreciation which was shown by the audience of their efforts was well merited in every respect. After the dramatic part of the benefit a specialty program followed, with Miss Emma Sauter, recitationist; Mr. Henry Jager of the Marine Band, flute soloist; Miss Edna Harris, fancy dancer; Miss Abbe Johnson, in an original number, and Tony Cummings in comic songs. Tony Cum- mings made rather the hit of the evening in this line of the program, and was obliged to respond to encores many times. Reynolds Post's Lawn Party.—A mid- summer lawn party was started last even- ing by John F. Reynolds Post, No. 6, G. A. KR. The fete was given on the grounds of Mr. J. B. Bloss, at the corner of lith street and Howard avenue, and the proceeds will be used for the benefit of the post relief fund. The grounds and house presented an unusually bright and pretty spectacle, lanterns and bunting being used for deco- ratlye purposes, while ladies in cool-looking, bright costumes served refreshments and made themseives and every one else gen- erally agreeable. The committee In charge of the refreshment table consisted of mem- bers of U. S. Grant Circle, No. 1, including Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Engel, Mrs. McKenna, Mrs. Calvert and Mrs. O'Brien. Depart- ment Commander McElroy made a short speech, In which he complimented Rey- nolds Post on its high standing, while Past Department Commander N. 'M. Brooks made the address of welcome. The ie was In charge of F. G. Calvert, chairman of the committee on arrangements, and Post Commander M. M. Lewis. The Victor Drum Corps was present and rendered martial music throughout the evening.

The fete will be continued this ening, and the program for the entertainment. of the BOF the post will be changed com- Discrimination Against Bicyclists. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am glad to sce a letter in The Star of yesterday calling attention to the “per- secuticn” now carried on against bicycle riders, and especially by Policeman Duvall, and I will refer to an outrageous case of this kind in hope that very soon public opinion will cause a change in the con- duct of policemen and magistrates. On Saturday night my son, ninete2n years old, was riding on his wheel down 14th street hill at Florida nvenue, and it is im- possible to go quite as slow at that place as on a dead level. He was not “coasting” or “scorching,” and has never done so, but as he reached the foot of the hill it became necessary for him to hurry up to pass between a cable car and a team. Unfortunately for him, Policeman Duvall was lying in waiting in citizen’s ciethes, and without warning, nabbed my son and tcok him to the police station. This was at 8 o'clock, remember, Saturday night, and the officer 1 ult of $5 committed him to the “lock-up” to be confined until Monday morning with drunken negroes and criminals, and miles away from his home and parents, who were in blissful ig- uorance of their son's misfortune. His wheel was not accepted as securit ‘he policeman who took him to the ce as impressed by the young man’s appeal for @ chance to telephone or find a relative and get the money, and he was finally al- lowed to go with an oflicer a few squares to his uncle's. Unforturately he was with- out funds at that time, and my boy would ve been locked up had it not been for a Kind-hearted stranger, who advanced the ) and he was free and reached home at midnight. On Monday morning he appear- ed at the Police Court, charged with rid- ing faster than a cable car, or s{x miles an hour. He did not deny this charge, but pleaded ignorance of any such reg ilation and said his extra speed was necessary to escape a collision with a car or a team in his way. The policeman, however, had made a case and his word is infallible. The court seems bound to believe him, and eo the fine was paid. Let me ask, how many young tren who ride wheels have $5 in their pockete every time they ride out for busi- ness or pleasure? It is now as necessary as a lamp or a bell to have a pocket book. A lawyer friend ventured to say a word, but was peremptorily stopped, and the judge sud that the law required bicyclists to go no faster than six miles an hour, and he ought to know this was the law if he read the newspapers. He sad, moreover, that you cannot ride on your wheel faster than a cable car. Now, does any one be- Neve a car only gees six miles an hour? Now, my reason for indignation and com- piaint is that a trivial offense, even if my gon was guilty, should be punished by imprisonment and that no distinction should be made in the place of confine- ment of prisoners. ‘Think of the effect on this boy’s mind! He was captain of his company at his military school, a modest retiring youth, whose word has never been doubted. Is it any wonder our people are becoming disgusted? For a year or so I have read with pain and indignation of the trivial and foolish and unnecessary arrests of all sorts made, many of them so silly that the judge had to administer a rebuke to the officers. I have felt tempted to get up a society for the exposure of the records of the policemen who have distinguished themselves in these Petty ceses as I am sure they never would in greater ones. Why does Col. Moore give credit to his officers for every arrest ani take no notice of the number of cases dis- missed or proved tc.be wrong? I am glad that the number of policemen who are guilty of this conduct is comparatively small. WILLIAM J. RHEES. _— Flocring, $1.50 per 100 @ecet. Kiln-dried, heart, one widtb, and all one length.

Work Alrendy Commenced — This Method Cheaper Hven Than the Overhead [Trolley. “The adoption of compressed alr as a Mctive power by the “Eckington and Sol- dlers’ Home railway of Washington will,” ys the Pittsburg Dispatch of yesterday, “cause @ great industry to be probably soon built up in Pittsburg in the manu- facture of compressed air equipments for traction cars. Work has already been commenced by H, K. Porter & Co. on the first car for the Eckington ard Soldiers’ Home street railway of Washington. “The Pittsburg firm secured the contract a few days ago for the equipping of this road, and all the lines in the District of Columbia may be similarly improved. Plans are also being prepared for the equipping of traction lines in other cities. The traction men claim the Pittsburg mo- tors are superior to any now in the mar- ket, and estimates are being asked by the roads of various cities. “The car that is being built is the first attempt made in Pittsburg. It will strong- ly resemble an ordinary cable car, and will be twenty feet long, and as heavy as the average car. The power will be placed beneath the seats and bed of the car. Th‘s will be contained in eight iron re- torts, nine inches in diameter, and as long as the car. The air will be maintained ae ® Pressure of 2,000 pounds to the cubic inch. “The motive power was designed after a careful study of the route of the Wash- ington road. The round trip ts tive miles long, and many heavy grades and sharp curves are encountered. William E. Lin- coln of the Porter company calculated that eight tanks would more than carry the car eround one full trip, and would allow for emergencies and accidents. Operation in Very Simple. “The air pressure in the storage tanks is reduced through hot water, and the expansion is greatly increased. The power ig regulated by ordinary levers, and the system 13 almost identical with a steam or compressed air locomotive. “The Washington road was compelled by Congress to dispense with horse power, and a regulation of the District of Co- lumbia forbids overhead tro!ley wires in the center of the city. Compressed air Was chosen because it was cheaper in irstallation and operation than in lines operating underground. It is even cheaper than the overhead trolley, as the com- pressor power station {s identical with the central electrical power house, and with compressed air cars no excavations along the line are necessary. As soon as the car is completed an elab- orate test of Its speed will be made at the Porter locomotive works by the company. It will be tried for its ability to start and stop quickly and its capacity for hauling heavy loads. A careful study will be made of the cost of operation. As soon as this test 1s made the car will be shipped to Washington and ten other cars will be im- mediately made. Traction officials in every large city are watching the equipment of the Washington road, and should it be suc- cessful muny other lines will adopt com- pressed alr. The car is expected to equal the speed of the average electric traction car. Has Faith in the System. Ww. E, Lincoln of the Porter company erday: ‘We have been building compressed air locomotives for a number ef years, and they have proved eminently successful. The adaptation to traction work ts no departure, and-the system will undoubtedly be successful. Our claim for compressed air Is that tt is economical, ab- solutely safe, simple and ¢urable. It Is convenient in operating and its cost for peevitenance and repairs is exceptionally jow. “Its economy 1s determined by the first cost of installation of the plant, cost of operating, mileage anc tonnage. 'None of the power is wasted.. No pipe line will be used on the Washington road to carry the compressed air to staticns along the route, and all that will be needed will be to place the cars on thetracks and start them. We have had a long experience in practical work and have improved the equipment in every way. “Phe design of motor is very simple and easy to handle, only requiring a boy or man of ordinary intelligence, and entailing no hazard or risk on his part. It is only necessary to see that an economical use is made of the air stored in the tanks, which is controlled by simply-designed and constructed apparatus. The motors are always ready to be operated as long 4@s the tanks are charged with air. When once charged and stored away they are ready for any delayed cr immediate ca for work.” ———— RECEIVER FOR A MARKET COMPANY Northern Liberty Stockholders Go to Court With a Petition, For the appointment of a receiver for the Northern Liberty Market Company, with power to enforce and collect judgments and accounts due the corporation, Wm.

A National Temperance Gathering at Norfolk Today. The High Tent of the Independent Order of Rechabites meets today at Norfolk. It 1s claimed, and probably truthfully, that this $s the oldest temperance organization in the United States, being formed in New York city August 2, 1842. Its membership reaches into half the states of the Union, but it is stronger in Ohio and Michigan than anywhere else. The order is now at- tached to the English order by the Salford unity degree, which has a membership of over a million. The organization consists of primary tents (male), female tents (male and female) and junior tents (boys between the ages of ten and sixteen). Five tenis can organize a grand tent, which governs that jurisdiction. The high tent, which is supreme, meets annually, and is composed of delegates from tents outside of grand tents and a delegate for each fifty members from each grand tent. Those who will represent the District at the Norfolk meeting of the high tent are High Chief Ruler John R. Mahoney of Cammack Tent, No. 56; High Secretary J. H, Dony of Anacostia Tent,“No. 138; R. W. Johnson of Heber Tent, No. 19; Past Grand Chief Ruler A. K. Belt of George C. Thompson Tent, No. 3; A. Lenz of Faith Tent, No. 32; J. H. Loveless of Union Tent, No. 87; J. W. Jackson of Anacostia Tent, No. 138; E. Welch of Columbia Tent, No. 1; Grand Chief Ruler J. H. Mitchell of Union Tent, No. 87, and T. L. Salkeld of George C. Thompson Tent, No. 3. The ses- sion will last three days, and much im- portant business will be transacted. George ©. Thompson Tent, one of the local organi- zations, has initiated eighteen members within ten weeks. —— HE BUILT THE DOME. Death of George H. Miller, Assistant Architect of the Capitol.

He was a native of Baltimore, and in 1849 salled from that city around the Horn to San Francisco. By virtue of that pioneer experience he was a most enthusiastic member of the local organization of “For- ty-niners,” and took part in all their social gatherings. As first assistant to the archi- tect of the Capitol, first to General Meigs and then to Mr. Edward Clark, Mr. Miller had charge of much important and respon- sible work. He built the great white dome that surmounts and completes the vast building, and in doing so took a deep per- sonal interest and continuous risk in the work. He superintended placing the colos- sal bronze figure of Liberty on the dome, and was the last man down, retreating step by step, as each board of the scaffolding Was removed and lowered. Another work of distinct importance architecturally to the Capitol was the construction of the beautiful marble terrace on the north, west and south fronts, an undertaking which practically reversed the frontage of the great building and dovetailed it into prac- ical connection with the city of Washing- ton, which had grown up to the west rather than the east of the building, as its original designer expected would be the event. Mr. Milier was an architect and builder by profession, and an expert in all lines of architectural engineering. Although there was no such official position, he was prac- tically first assistant architect of the Capitol, and naturally during the forty years he spent in the building he became known to nearty all the public men promi- nent in national affairs during that period. He was a pubiic-spirited citizen of Wash- ington, and was one of the first to enlist for the deferse of the capital in 1861. He was a member of Kit Carson Post, G. A. R., and was one of the charter members of De Molay Commandery, Knights Templar. At the time of his death he was seventy-two years old. His death is undoubtedly due to the excessive torridity of the last few days. He was at the Capitol Friday, and went home that night overcome by the heat. He became unconscious about twelve hours later and remained so until his death. His physician attributes his death natn, to the heat, although there was a slight apoplexy, which, under more favorable con- ditions, would perhaps not have been neces- sarily fatal. For a year past, however, he had been failing in health, and in conse- quence of an attack of pneumonia last win- ter his system was much enfeebled. A widow and five daughters, Mrs, Almyra Burgess, Mrs. W. R. Wilcox and Misses Maggie, Georgie and Lily, survive him. The funeral will take place from the resi- dence, 118 C street northwest, tomorrow af- ternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and the interment will be at the Congressional cemetery. — Change in Rate—Bay Ridge to Balti- more and Return.

THE SOUTHERN RATE WAR. = ection Proceedings. A call has been issued for a meeting of the Southern States Freight Association at Asheville, N. C., Thursday next to consider questions relative to the injunction pro- ceedings which are to come up before Judge Simonton in the case of the Seaboard Air Line agt. the Southern States Freight As- sociation Saturday. A preliminary meeting, at which the presidents and general man- agers of the lines interested were present, was held in New York Monday, but the de- tails of the meeting were withheld from the public. Well-informed rafiroad men are a! most unanimously of the opinion-that some very undesirable complications will arise, no matter whether Judge Simonton con- tinues or dissolves the temporary injunc- tion. If he dissolves it, which the asso- clated Hnes do not want him to do accord- ing to the current report, they will be in the position which confronted them before they declared for the eighty per cent cut. They will have to compromise or put in force the big cut, with the alternative of admitting that they were bluffing before. If ‘the in- junction is made permanent, the Seaboard will, it is stated, carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Re-Equipment of the RB. and D. It 1s sald that the Southern Rallwa: Con.pany, as will be mentioned in the com- ing annual report, upon taking posses- sion of the linc of the old Richmond and Danville system about two years ago, war herded over $5,000,000 in cash from the reorgentzation committee for improve- ments and additions, the reorganizatton plan providing also for the issue each year of a certain amount of bonds for new construction. “In the minds of many interested per- sors,” according to the report, “these seemed to be extremely generous terms, but it has been found that much of the track was in very poor condition, and since the new company assumed possession its officers have been busy carrying out im- provements to roadbed and track, shops and terminal facilities and adding to the equipment. During the first fiscal year the company spent nearly $850,000 on new equipmert and new construction, and for the year just ended, which is the second ir. the company’s htstory, the amount has been much larger, about $500,000 having been spent in building steel bridges alone. ‘Among the improvements in progress are the construction of extensive terminal facilities at Portsmouth, Va.; new passing sidings are being added ail over the line and ballast trains are at work upon every division. Over 60,000 tons of steel rails have been purchased. There were also purchased fifty-five locomotives since the present company took possession. ‘The new shops, which are being butit ““Special” EXCURSION Ti ° Marshall Hall And Indian Head Tuesday, August 1, At 7 p. m.
