Mrs. Cooper, Who Caused the Fear- son-Ford Homicide, Returns—Ac- cidents and Deaths. ‘The work of the extension of the Glen Echo electric railway is being pushed as vapidly as circumstances will permit. Men are working et both ends of the line, and originally it was expected to complete the improvements by the 15th instant; but owing to various delays the labor will hard- ly be finished for another month, The ex- tension at the-eastern end will be from Chevy Chase circle to the present tracks. In making this extension a portion of the present used track will be abandoned and connection with the union depot at Tenley- town severed. The new tracks will branch off from the present tracks about a third of a mile below the union depot. just where the first trestle work commenced, and fol- lowing the line of a small stream, the be- ginning of Powder Mill branch, run to the circle and make connections there with the Chevy Chase road. The western extension will be from the present north side of the Conduit road, rear Glen Echo, across the Conduit road end thence along the tracks of the Great Falls railroad to Cabin John bridge. The Glen Echo road had the right of way in its charter to take this route, and granted the privilege to the Great Falls road upon the condition that it could run cars over the track, which was readily granted. The preparations for the laying of the track to make connections at this place are well under way. An embankment has been laid on either side of the road, and the tracks are in place. There are only a few hundred feet of rails to be laid, and that in the shape of a curve. The rolling stock of the road is being re- paired and rew cars added. Already six tew cars have been secured, and more are expected, while the old cars will be repair- ed and repainted, and the entire road im- proved, making it one of the best in this section of the city. The improvements are being made under an additional loan, which was secured on the railroad as a whole. Mrs. Cooper Reappears. - Mrs. Lillie M. Cocper, the woman in the Fearson-Ford shooting scrape, has ap- peared on the scene again, after an absence of several days. Where the woman was no one knows, and she Cid not tell, the im- pression being that she went over to some place near Rosslyn, where she kept quiet. She appexred for the first time last night shortly before midnight, and attempted to get irto the house in Cisseil’s alley where she formerly lived with Lum Fearson. The door was locked, and she was unable to get in. Her actions were witnessed by the po- lice, and after passing a few remarks with some of the neighbors she walked away. Sergt. Haney met her on the street and ap- prised her of the death of Ford. She seem- to be affected by the news, claiming it was the first she had heard since the shooting. She is now stopping at the house of a friend, known to the police, and if she is wanted as a witness no difficulty will be ex- perienced in fluding her. Death of Mra, Stallings. Mrs. Maria Stallings died yesterday at her home at the corner of 28th and P streets. Only a few mcnths ago she passed her eighty-fourth birthday, and death was caused by old ge. She had been ailing for one week, the extreme heat ving some effect or ker condition. Mrs. Stallings was one of the most remarkable of old ladies. Her capabilities up to the last moment of life were far more vigorous than is usual with one who has passed four score and four years. She was one of the oldest res- idents of this section of the city, having resided here for many years. She was the nother of five children, and the sis- ter of the mother of Mr. H. C. Winship, formerly manager of the Chesapeake and fo canal. Mrs. Winship is now hearty at the age of eighty-six years. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, the interment being at Oak Hill cemetery. ‘he pallbearers have been se- lected as follows: Messrs. Payne, Hutchin- son, Brace, Shoyer, Rougan and Haycock. Hurt by a Runaway Horse. Mr. James Beall, a well-known business man, and a grandson of Major George Hill, was painfully injured this morning about 8 o'clock while attempting to stop a run- away horse belonging to Mr. John T. Kelley, a member of the firm of Weaver, Kengla & Co., soap manufacturers, on Water street. The horse was attached to a buggy, and was left standing in the stable yard by Mr. Kelly, but in some manner the animal got loese, and walked out in the street, where he started to run. Mr. Beall, seeing the animal, stopped him on Water street, near the coal docks, but the korse had no bridle on and reared ‘up and piunged on the man. His shoulder was dislocated and his arm hurt. Dr. Appleby and Dr. Connell were summoned and attended the young man, after which he was ramoved to his home. The horse, after being stopped, started away again, and was finaily caught at 17th street New York avenue. and Various Happenings. William Barr, aged thirty, and Lawrence Barr, aged twenty-four, brothers, became involved in an altercation yesterday after- noon about 5:30 o'clock on M street near 82d strect, and were having a rough-and- tumble fight, until Policeman Edwards ap- peared and placed them both under arrest. From the statement of tho witnesses the older brother struck the younger several times without any apparent provocation. At the station they were reicased on collateral. ‘The funeral of Mr. Jeremiah Collins, who died from the effect of the heat, was held this afternoon from his late residence, on 36th street.

Policeman Foley, who was assaulted in Reeves court last week by a crowd of col- ored men and women, as published in The Star at the time, was uble to appear in court today and give evidence against his assail- ants. Those charged were James Smothers, William Dade, Emma Smothers, Susie Col- ston and Priscilla Smothers. ‘The policeman was walking through Reeves court with his wife when he heard some profanity being indulged in. Warning the party not to repeat the bad language, he resumed his journey with his better half. He had not gone far when he heard a fight, ‘and when he returned to put a stop to this trouble the whole party turned upon him and assaulted him with stones, sticks, dishes und numerous household utensils. Judge Mills heard the proof and gave the defendants six months in jail and fined them $25, or sixty days additional. —e—— Injured by Falling Timber. Ludlake Smith, who ts employed at the power house of the Metropolitan road, near Lincoln Park, was painfully injured today by the falling of a piece of timber. He was Temoved in the police ambulance to Provi- dence: Hospital. SOMEWHAT IXED IN JERSEY Third Ticket Would Help the Republicans to Win, ra Probabilities Ar¢ That the Present Solid Congression: win Delegation Ne Broken. Sp2clal Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., August 11, 1896. The result of the glection in New Jersey, regarded by the republicans as safe for McKinley dnd Hobart, and counted on by the democrats of the Bryan following doubtful, is very uncertain from the pres- ent prospects, because of the mixed con- diticns in the general and local contests. If the fight were on that of the presiden- tlal ticket alone, there could be no doubt that the republicans would carry the state with a majority ranging from ten to thirty thousand. At the present time, how- ever, there are Lundreds of democrats who will support Bryan and Sewall and free silver, because they do not under- stand tho question, und seem to accept tke common idea that silver will make a larger circulation of the currency, and that they will, of course, be able to se- cure moré easily a larger amount of money. With no third ticket New Jersey can be classed doubtful, because for sake of politics about all the sound money members of the party will stand by the nominees. The republicans are pretty thor- oughly united on the ticket, and the state pride of having. Hobart, who has been a prominent man in the state the past three decades, on the ticket, will keep that party solid to a greater degree than some of the opresite party are willing to admit. Should the third ticket be placed in the field, it will have support of such state leaders as Benjamin F. Lee, clerk of the supreme court; Henry C. Kelsey, secre- tary of state; Allen L. McDermott, who, vntil his recent repudiation at the polls, was the leader of the democracy in the state, and several others of state note. In that event the republicans will havo but lttle trouble im securing the ten electoral votes. The present delegation of Congressmen from New Jersey 1s solidly republican, but the republicans hardly expect but seven, and perhaps only six, out of the elght this year. In the first district Henry C. Louden- slager has been named for a third term, and, as his plurality last year was 12,000 in a total vote of 27,000, he is expected to go back to Washington. If he does it will be the first time in eighty-four years that a man in the district ever received a third term. George M. Robeson, Grant's Secre- tary of the Navy, failed in'an election, and Loudenslager will have to hustle. In September the second district repub- licans will renominate Congressman John J. Gardner, and his election will be almost cer. tain. At the last election he was elected yf plurality. ‘The district’ plurality is about 2.500. See eee weuel Congressman Benjamin F. Howel third district will probably be mater for a second term, but he will have to fight for Fis seat, because the district, which gave him i270 plurality, usually gives a majority e democrats a ore by about the ‘same Congressmen Mahlon Pitney of the fourth district and Richard Wayne Parker of the sixth district will probably go back, al- though their chances with their democratic opponents, yet to be named, are about even. In the fifth district James F. Stewart will have an easy time to go back to the Howse, The seventh and eighth districts, repre. sented by ‘Thomas M and Charles Newell Fowler, respectively, are the most uncertain in the state. The seventh district comprises Hudson county, which always ces from six to ten thousand democratic, and will probably send a democrat. Me. Ewan only reached*the goal two years ago by 29% plurality, and he is not a candidate for re-election. The republicans have no one in view at present. On the democratic side, State Sen- ator William D. Daly, a free silver man, who seriously thought he ought to be the vice presidential candidate, and Allen L. MeDermott are fighting for the place. There is talk also of naming Assistant Secretary of the Navy Willlam McAdoo, who repre- sented the district inthe Forty-eighth, For- ty-ninth, Fifticth and Fifty-first Congresse: Mr. Fowler will be renominated in the eighth district, but it 1s doubtful as to who the democratic nominee will be. At the November election eight of the twenty-one state senators will be chosen with a full house of assembly of sixty mem- bers. These eight senators will be elected to succeed seven republicans and one dem- cerat, and in these fights United States Sen- ator James Smith, jr., is Interested. He 1s a candidate for re-election, and will be back from Europe in time to look after these matters. He has the odds against him just now from all apvearances. His opponent would have been Hobart, if he had not been named for Vice President. Franklin urphy, who lives Ju Newark, near Senator Smith, may be the republican candidate. He has been chairman of the republican state committee for four years, and is a big manufacturer of varnishes. No state officers will be elected, as the governor appoints everybody in New Jersey down to the county prosecutor of the peace, subject to the confirmation of the senate. — SUMMERING AT ST. GEORGE’S. A Long List of Washingtonians at That Pleasant Resort. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. GEORGE'S ISLAND, Md., August 10, 1896. Here at St. George's Island are to be found @ large nutnber of sojourners, mostly from Washington, who have fled from the heat of the city, and are now enjoying lMfe on the water. There are several cottagers who have come down to spend the most of the summer at the {sland, but the majority of the visitors are here for a shorter time to enjoy the various pleasures afforded.

Mr. Sewall said he was hopeful of the results of the coming campaign, although it was a little too early to make predic- tions, and that in spite of the fact that he was not a speech-maker, he still ex- pected to be able to make some. =e SS Military Details.

POLITICS AND SOCIETY Activigg><ong Both Lines Down in Pied- snont Vi Conditions in the Eighth Congres- aio District—Enjoyable Festivi- ties the Rule Warrenton. Corresponderce of The Evening Star. WARRENTON, Va, August 9, 1896. The chief theme among the politicians here just now ts the Alexandria convention, which convenes on the 12th instant. For many years Warrenton was recognized as the headquarters of the eighth district, so far as the making up of the slates went, for ail the leading citizens, as well as the members of the bar, which, in times past, was, relatively speaking, one of the largest and ablest in the state, were deeply in- terested in public affairs. The younger gen- eration seem to have caught a political fever through the silver cpidemic, and are taking an active part in this campaign, both on state and national lines. Bright young men of education with wholesome views of life are plentiful in this Piedmont region, and there 1s no reason why tne eighth district, which has been represented in Congress by such names as Chilton, Pendleton, Hunton, Barbour and Lee, should not maintain her high standard for rectitude and ability. Meredith, who has served two terms and a fraction, did not develop as much strength as Rixey at the July primaries, but his friends and adherents claim ‘hat the nomi- nation will in a great measure depend upon the adoption of the two-thirds or majority rule. If the latter prevails, Rixey will, in all probability, receive the nomination. Meredith made a good representative, and has a large following, especially in Prince William. Rixey, who resides in Culpeper, is a formidable opponent in that section, and has family connections in Fauquier. He is regarded as a sound lawyer-and a man who has achieved success through adroit management and persistent effort. The McCabe contingent, another factor in the field, is antagonistic to Rixey, and will hold out against him till “the crack of doom.” Joe Willard, a Fairfax lawyer of some means, also has an enthusiastjc band of cohorts ready to espouse his cause. Clarence Mocre, another member of the Fairfax bar, and a young man of talent and great popularity, while not a candi- date, and who has publicly declared that he does not seck the horor, seems to be “the dark Pegasus” in the race. There is an jmpress.on here that it will be a turbu- lent body, which may culminate in a dead- lock as famous as that of the Lee conven- tion some years ago. Others who are more conservative think the meeting will be as serene as a summer day in Arcadia. The delegates from this county are Dr. T. W. Smith, J. D. Varner, Wm. P. Helm, J. A. C. Keith, Robert L. Smith; alternates, R. C. Murphy, M. M. Green, C. E. Holtzlaw, E. S. Tvrner and G. S. Smith. Dabney Gray of the Culpeper bar will present Rix- ey’s name to the convention. The Maddux Racing Stables. Mr. James K. Maédux, who is an Author- ity on hunting horses and the most intrepid and artisile cross-country rider in Virginia, is busy remodeling his handsome racing establishment on the outskirts of the town. His stables are the mcst complete and ex- tensive in this part of the state. They were formerly owned by “Extra Billy” Smith and were built in the palmy days of Southern life, when the superb old gov- ernor controlled a star route as far south as Georgia. Mr. Maddux has fifteen acres ef beautiful grass land contiguous to his residence and stables, which he has con- verted into a training ground for his hunt- ers. He has constructed a number of hur- dies, including a hedge, a wali of solid ma- sonry, “an in and out” and a water jump. At present he has some half a dozen thor- oughbreds In schooling, which he will enter in the Hunt Club races on the 13th instant. Of his string, “Dr. F a magnificent mahogany brown, 16-2, by Pontiac out of Jersey Queen, is perhaps the most striking animal. He is a four-year-old and promises to be a great performer across country in this fall's hunts. In a recent morning ex- ercise his chestnut, “Skidaddle,” demon- strated great hurdling powers and a re- markable knack of recovery. Mr. Mad- dux’s private office is an interesting den to the votary of the chase, adorned as it is with pictures and many beautiful trophies which he has won on the race courses, in the tourney, behind the hounds and at the horse shows. His harness, his traps and the arrangement and appointments of his establishment betray such good judgment end taste that it has become the most at- tractive rendezvous in Warrenton, the master hand of the trainer being visible ev- erywhere. This week a fine group of the Hunt Club on their individual mounts with the pack was photographed on the Prop- erty. Social and Personal Notes. The past week has been full of festivities, and summer guests are pouring in from all points on every train. The Misses Hicks gave a high tea Monday evening in honor of their guest, Miss Page of Albemarle county. Tuesday Misses Mattie and Marian Payne entertained Miss Nannie Shriver, a Balti- more debutante and one of the belles of the summer. Wednesday a lovely bal poudre for the children was given by the “summer danc- ing class” at the public hall. The scene was a charming picture of Innocence and mirth and was witnessed by a large num- ber of the older set, who participated with the lttle ones in their enjoyment. Miss Rosie McDermott of Maryland and Miss Bessie Jones, the little daughter of Dr. Marshall Jones of Alexandria, danced some graceful fancy steps during the evening to the delight and admiration of the specta- tors. 2 Thursday evening a beautiful reception was given by the daughters of Attorney General R. Taylor Scott in honor of their guests, Miss Edith Carter of the Shenan- doah valley and Miss Ella Kerr of Balti- more. Later in the evening a number of the town people drove out to the Fauquier White Sulphur and participated in a ger- man given by the ladies at the springs. Mr. Scott Nesbit of the Treasury Depart- ment has purchased the Ludlam country seat on the suburbs of Warrenton, where he will reside in future with his family. Mr. Nesbit has added to the residence and greatly beautified the place. Mrs. Dr. J. B. Emerson, the wife of the eminent New York oculist, the partner of Dr. St. John Roosa, ts visiting her brother- in-law, Col. Joseph A. Rice, at his sum- mer cottage. Dr. Hoehling, the well known navy sur- geon, is one of the guests at the Fauquier White. Mrs. Senator Stewart has engaged rooms at the springs for a part of August. pe Sees CQOL AT WALNUT POINT.
