All the Services at the Camp Mecti is Yesterday Were Well Attended nd Full of Interest. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 11, 1896. Yesterday was the seventh day of this feast of tabernacles and In richness of op- portunity it was the great day of the feast. The intense heat and drouth continues un- broken, but the zeal of the worshipers only wakes more fervid with each recurring sunrise, and Elder Wilson toils on, tm- pervious alike to heat or fatigue, and fs an inspiration to every one to forget discom- fort and physical ill-being in this great White harvest field, where both sowing and reaping must be done, and done quickly. The eldcr presided at the morning prayer and experience meeting and urged the con- gregation to bring their difficulties to Jesus. ‘There were many testimonies of the power of religion to tide over and past trials and difficulties of the Christian life, and the people were greatly strengthened by his «ncoureging words. Rev. Robert Moore of Kensington occu- pied the pulpit at the morning service. ‘The Hidden Treasure” was the basis of his dis- course, the text being: “The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who when he had found it straightway sold all that he had and bought that field.” The large con- gregation heeded not the discomfort of the heat, but listened, spellbound, to the elo- quent discourse. Miss Ella Knight sang, by request, “I Am Coming Home,” and Dr. H. R. Naylor exhorted the church to fuller consecration, and the people gathered at the altar place for prayer. The children’s service was enhanced in interest today by the baptism of George Brackett Dowling, only son of Harry and Sue Brackett Dowling, which took place at the close of the afternoon service, Pre- siding Elder L. B. Wilson, D.D., admin- istering the vite, and was witnessed by a large circle of the relatives and friends of the Httle fellow of fourteen months, who 4s the prize baby of the camp. A flatteringly large audience assembled in the afternoon at the tabernacle to hear the experience of Rev. J. K. Snyder. It was rich in incident, and the large congre- gation was greatly moved. Rev. C. Cassard of the 12th street charge, arrived in the evening, and preached ac- ceptably to a full audience from Matt. 9:28, “Believe ye that I am able to do this?” and one penitent accepted Christ and was converted at the close of the serv- fee. The gospel horn has been missed from the services, but at the evening service the large chorus was ably sustained and the harmony much increased by the cornet work of Miss Yingling, who 4s stopping at Wesley camp, on the circle. Miss Yingling is one of the cornetists of the Moody cholr. Prof. Percy Foster, just returned from a recruiting trip to Ocean Grove, came to camp tonight, and was immediately pressed into active service, and delighted the au- dience with his solo singing of “Pass On” and “Beautiful City of God.” Rey. A. J. Gill of Monument street, Bal- timore, has arrived, and is registered at the Lodge. Rev. Jas. Lodge, D.D., of Gaithersburg, was in attendance upon the evening serv- ices. Mrs. Clara Roach will leave the camp to- day to meet an engagement at Mt. Tabor camp, New Jersey, where she will deliver an address on Thursday next. Mr. Chas. Holmes of Washington spent yesterday with friends in camp. Mr. Moncure Tgompkins is prostrated by a low fever at his cottage, on 1st avenue, but his physician hopes to have him out in a few days. —_—— A SERIOUS AFFRAY. Frank Burgess Dangerously Stabs His Partner, George Burnett. An cffray that may result 4n adding an- other murder to the already disgraceful list of 18% occurred last night in the shoe shop of Owen Harrison, in Desmond's court, run- ning from G street between 2d and 34 streets southwest. The participants were two colored men, named George Burnett and Frank Burgess, who arrived in this city yesterday morning from Norfolk. They were peddlers of soap, and spent the day selling their wares among the colored people in South Washington. Burgess drank a good deal, and when the men met in Harrison's shop to settle up on the day's business Burnett accused Burgess of spending too much money. This brought on a hot war of words, which culminated in Burgess drawing a pocket knife and stabbing Burnett just below the breast. ‘The wounded man ran crying into the court, when he fell, and in the excitement that followed his assaflant disappeared. Burnett was taken to Emergency Hospital, where it was reported this afternoon that he was doing fairly well. Burgess is being looked for by the police, but 4s believed to have left the cit: ae OUR FLOUR IN GERMANY. The Increasing Demand There Suag- gests a Market. Comrercial Agent Moore, at Weimar, Germany, has forwarded to the State De- Ppariment a report on tae consumption of wheat and rye flour in that country. Since 1579, he says, the consumption of rye bread has steadily decreased, and wheat bread stows a more than proportional advance. As the United States exports large quaa- titles of wheat and wheat flour to Germany this seems important. The year 18056 was remarkable for an extraordinarily large consumption of both bread stuffs. Of wheat there was used 278 pounds per capita and of rye 151 pounds per capita. This Was owing to large supply and small prices. Last year rye sold for $28.50 per 1,000 kilos and wheat $33.01 for the same quan- tity. The prices of wheat and rye fiour per 220.46 pounds tn that year were, wheat flour, $5.17; rye, $8.43. The flour imports have steadily increased since 1800, with the exception of 1895, when they were slightly lower than the previous year. The imports largely in excess of the expor: The imports last year were 82,537 tons of the value of $1,475,000. The United States furnished but 3,910 tons, a comparatively small quantity, and takes third place among the countries exporting grain to Germany, the Russian commercial treaty giving that country a great advantage. American flour is more expensive than any other kind, and this fact accounts for small imports of that article. —_-—-+e The Accident Chapter. While attempting to alight from a grip car cn the Capital Traction road while it was in motion at 15th and Pennsylvania avenue last night, Misses Ella Shriver and Dora Higgins,employed at the Riggs House, were thrown to the asphalt and painfully hurt, Miss Shriver sustaining a scalp wound and Miss Higgins a badly bruised shoulder. William Dyer, living at 1327 W street northwest, was driving the wagon of Grocer William Morrison on 14th street yesterday evening when the horse ran away and turn- ing into Green's alley, fell and threw Dyer out. He was carried to Emergency Hos- pital, where no serious injuries were dis- covered. The horse was badly hurt, one of the wagon shafts having pierced its neck. While riding ier bicycle on 9th street near F northwest about 7 o'clock yester- day evening, Rosie Padgett, twelve years old, of Anacostia, rode into the side of an Anacostia car, while trying to get out of the way of a wagon, and was dragged sev- eral feet. She was but slightly bruised. — ee Now im the Civil Service. ‘The work incidental to the tncorporation of several thousand federal offices in and around New York and Brooklyn into the civil service in accordance with the Presi- dent’s.recent order. is practically complet- ed.

Another Denth and One Prostration From the jame Cause— Other Items, The extreme heat is responsible for two more deaths in this section of the city, the latest occurring this morning about 10 o'clock, John D. Angel, the engineer of No. 5 engine company, ing the victim. His end was sudden. While coming down the steps of the engine hcuse this morning he gave way, and would have fallen down the flight had he not been caught by Foreman Sullivan end Private Gaylor, who happen- ed to be on the scene at the time. He wa: quickly carried upstairs and placed in his cot and a physician summoned. Dr. May- field, the police surgeon, first appeared, with Drs. Hickling and Shekell appearing soon after. Medical <kill and science were in vain, end within an hour and a half afterward death ended all. The remains were left in the engine house, and an un- dertaker summoned, who carried them to the home of the deceased on 32d street be- lew M street. In the meanwhile the flag of the company was placed at half mast. Jeff. Angel, as he was perhaps better known, wos one of the best-known men in Georgetown, and was liked by all who knew him. He vas one of the oldest men in the service of the fire department, hav- ing completed his twenty-seventh year in the labor, and all of that time being sta- tioned in Georgetown. He was appointed to the department October 1, 1869, and later was promoted to the rank of fireman, serving In that capacity for fourteen years. On August 14, 1888, he was made engineer, which position he has been holding ever since. He had only been complaining of the heat since yesterday, though nothing was thought of it. This morning he went to his breakfast at 6:30 o'clock, but his family did not notice anything out of the ordinary in his actions, though he complained of the heat. He went back to the engine house, where he was stricken down. None of his femily, with the exception of a son, was at his bedside wren death came. His wife was at the place, but upon the orders of the physicians in attendance was not permit- ted to see him. The deceased was orly forty-eight years of age, and was a fireman from his boy- hood up. He served during the war in Battery B, 4th United States Artillery, and was wounded in the wrist, for which be drew a small pensicn. He went through the war, being only twelve years of age when he enlisted, and for some tine was stationed at Fortress Monroe. He was a member of the Veteran Firemen’s Associa- ticn and started in as a small boy carry- ing a torch. From this humble position he rose to be captain of the torch bearers, and when the present department was or. ganized he became a member. He was also a member of the Independent Order of American Mechanics. He had been mar- ried for the past quarter of a century, and leaves a widow and five children. He was a native of the District and resided in Georgetown ail his life. Another Death From Heat. The second death from the heat was that of Peter Schlosser of 1054 West Market space. The deceased ran a shoe shop on M street near the Aqueduct bridge, and Saturday evening came home complaining of the heat and feeling unwell. He went to bed and refused to have the doctor sent for. His condition did not change during Sunday, but in the evening of that day, Lecoming worse, Dr. Appleby was sum_ moned, but the man was beyond human ald, and he died between 1 and 2 o'clock Monday morning. The deceased was forty- five years of age, and a native of Germany, coming to this country when only fifteen years of age. For the past thirty years he had Mved in Georgetown. He had been married for seventeen years, and leaves a widow and four children, the oldest of which fs only thirteen years. The deceased has a sister living in New York city, while his parents and other relatives are in Ger- many. The funeral was held this after- noon at o'clock from Trinity Church, the interment being at Holy Rood ceme- tery. Prostrated This Morning. John Kane, a young white man, employed as a barber at 32d and M streets, was prostrated by the heat this morning. Dr. Mayfield, who happened to be near by, was summoned,and succeeded in resuscita! ing the man. His ccndition is not serious. Funeral of John L. Ford. The funeral of John L. Ford, the young man who was shot and killed by “Lum” Fearson, as stated in The Star, was held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from his par- ents’ residence, 1036 Jefferson avenue, and was largely attended. The remains were in an oven casket all during the day and a large number of people tock a last look at the face of the murgered youth. Rev. Mr. Bourne, the pastor of Grace Church, con- ducted the religious services. He made a few remarks, in which he spoke of the many good traits of the deceased, and dwelt on the fact that all who knew him liked him yor his sterling qualities. The pall-bearers, Messrs. Frank Waring, Chas. Denison, jr., George Goodrich and James McKenna, were intimate friends of the de- ceased. The interment was made at Con- gressional cemetery. Died at Ninety-Seven. Nancy Gray, reputed to be ninety-seven years old, is dead. She died last Saturday at her home opposite the ‘Twenty Bulld- ings." Nancy was in slave times the prop- erty of Gen. Briscoe, one of the largest cwners of slaves in St. Mary’s county, Md. She was a particularly bright colored wo- man. Her memory was remarkable for one who had been so long under the influence of the physical weaknesses of extreme age. Deceased’s son was a sailor during the war and was on board the Lady Sterling when she brought John Surratt over from Rome to answer the charge of complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln. The Clerks’ Assembly. The Clerks’ Assembly of Georgetown ts rapidly increasing in membership, and the clerks of all the grocery and drug stores end other business places are now joining. The membership at present is nearly half @ hundred. Two new members were ad- mitted at the last meeting, and four appli- cations are now pending. The boycott placed on some of the West End business houses is being felt, and applications are being made to have the same taken off. A special committee from District Assembly, No. 68, and the local assembly waited upon a well-known clothing merchant Monday evening relative to lifting a boycott, but no agreement was reached. Notes, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Mueller and Mr. Wil- liam Mueller of M street are at Colonial Beach for a month's stay, running Camp Lo. vu. 1 Mrs. Henry Sommers and her daughter, Mrs. P. Eisenman, and family are summer- ing at Attlantic City. Misses Emma L. Plyer and Bessie Hough- ton, have been the guest of Mrs. O. L. Ply- er at Kensington. John W.

The Commiesioners late yesterday after- noon decided in favor of the site offered by Mr. George W. Beale as the location of the new northwest engine house. The Property is at North Ca; toners - qeitiey, Streets, and the price paid was $1 a foot. THE LYNCHED ITALIANS Baron Fava Instructed to Obtain Official In- formation of the Circumstances. His Request Forwarded to the Gover- nor of Loulsiana—The Mafla Case Recalicd. It is probable that the United States will be compelled, by precedent and a sense of justice, to pay an indemnity for the Itallan prisoners recently lynched by a mob at Hahnville, La. The occurrence has caused great indignation in Italy, ani Baron Fava, the ambassador to the Wnited States, has teen instructed to make a prompt investi- gation and report in the case. The Italian newspapers are filled with articles on the subject inciting the govern- ment to take energetic action. The “Popolo Romano,” recalling the lynching of Italians at New Orleans in 1891, and referring to the present affair, urges the Italian govern- ment to call the attention of the European powers to the strange pcsition of foreign- ers in America and to fromote the collec- tive action of the powers. Baron Fava’s Inquiry. Ambassador Fava, who is summering in Bar Harbor, has telegraphed the Secretary of State in accordance with cabled instruc- tions from his government asking for of- ficial Information as to the circumstances of the Hahnville case. He also directed Charles Papini, the Italian consul at New Orleans, to make a thorough investigation of the lynching and to ascertain beyond question the nationality of these particular victims of mob violence. No demand for reparation will be made by the Italian gov- efnment unless it is established that the men were citizens of Italy. p If it can be found that the Italians were naturalized American citizens, the inquiry will stop, as the Italian government can no longer take any interest in the affair; but if the men are shown to be aliens to the United States, an indemnity will un- doubtedly be demanded and Congress ask- ed to appropriate for that purpose as it has done in former instances. Secretary Olney’s policy is to readily grant to foreign powers exactly the same treatment as he insists upon when Ameri- can citizens meet with indignities abroa4 He has held, however, that where author ites are overcome by mobs, after offer- ing strenuous resistance, this constitutes extenuating circumstances and operates to reduce the amount of indemnity from that properly called for when the legal author- ities co-operate with the lawless. Italy will probably take no further action until after the reply of the governor of Louisiana. In the case of t mafia lynching at New Orleans in 1892 the United States &cvernment was compelled to pay an in- demnity of $25,000 to the families of the victims, being at the rate of $5,000 for each man killed by the mob. Forwarded to the Governor of Louis- fana. Mr. Rockhill, who 1s acting Secretary of State, has forwarded Ambassador Fava’s telegram to the governor of Louisiana, fol- lowing the sama procedure observed upon the cccasion of the lynching of members of the mafia. It is presumed that the gov- «rnor will call upon the district attorney for a report for the Information of the Depsriment of State, and thus initiate an- other aternational inciient and pave the way for the payment of an indemnity. Will Procure a Report. In answer to the inquiry from the State Department and the request from the Ita!- jan ambassador for information respecting the lynching at Hahrviile, the governor of Louisiana has telegraphed the State De- partment that he knows nothing officially of the affair, but will take steps to pro- cure a report upen it. Although our government has, as in the case of the killing of the Italians in New Orleans under the last administration, dis- claimed responsibility for such occurrences, the fact that the President has in that and subsequent affairs of like nature felt obliged to seek from Congress authority for the payment of suitable indemnities, may fairly be regarded as an admission of the moral responsibility upon the gov- ernment of the United States, under its treaties with foreign countries, to protect citizens of such countries from illegal acts of mobs. In view of the comparative fre- quency of these affairs of late years, it is probable that the executive may call upon Congress to provide by law for the ex- tension of federal jurisdiction to cover all offenses vommitted against subjects of countries whom we are pledged by treaty to protect. Opening of Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. The regular season of Kernan’s Lyceum will open next Saturday night, August 15, wken this popular house will again appear in a@ blaze of brilliancy. During the past few weeks the Lyceum has been thorough- ly renovated and redecorated, making it the handsomest variety theater south of New York. For his opening attraction Manager Kernan has selected Cyrene’s High-class Vaudevilles, an organization composed absolutely of superior talent. The company is headed by the peerless Cyrene, in her remarkable performance on the swinging wire. A feature of the program will be the first appearance in Washington of the Robinson Baker Trio, in their origina] singing and athletic novelty, introducing Mr. R. H. Baker's high jump- ing. This gentleman is the undisputed champion of the world, having won this distinction at Cambridge, Mass., August 81, 1895, where he broke the world’s record by making a running jump of six feet six and one-half inches. Mr. Baker has just returned from Athens, Greece, where he won several prominent events of the Olym- Pic games. Mr. Robinson is ulso a jumper of note, having never been defeated at his style of jumping. Another special fea- ture will be the appearance of Fields, Sa- lina and Brooks, the Eccentric Trio, in startling grotesque and unique acrobat- icisms, introducing Mile. Salina, the only lady grotesque performer in the world. Her performance is really remarkable. Other names appearing on the program are Tanner and Rennat, in their original conception, entitled “Home Again;” Miss Josie Barrows, the charming little vocalist and dancer; Petching Brothers, European musical comiques; the Denvers, in thet comedy creation, entitled “Mixed Pickle: Sheffer and Allen, German and Irish com- edians; Eugene Niedert, the world’s cham- pion fancy and trick bicyclist. The per- formance will conclude with the panto- mime comedy entitled “The Viceroy’s Fa- vorite,” introducing Mile. Cyrene in her famous character of La Perichole. ——— The Death Rate. ‘The report of the health department for the week ending August 8 says: “The mortality in the city during the past week reached 142 in number. In the pre- vious week it was 134, and in the corre- sponding period of last year, 90. The death rate rose, accordingly, from 24.81 to 26.29. According to the reports received at the health department the principal causes were disorders of the brain,of which twenty- two persons died, seven being from heat- stroke; consumption chargeable with twenty deaths and diarrhoeal complaints with nine- teen. Of typhoid fever there were five deaths, and of diphtheria and whooping cough one each. The general health con- ditions were marked by a total absence of acute lung mi in fatal form. Of the total mortality 46 per cent was of children under five years of age, of whom forty-nine were under one year old. A review of thi week's meteorological conditions shows mean temperature of 83 degrees of the at- mosphere, with @ mean relative humidity of 80, being 7 in excess of that of the week previous. From 69 degrees on the 3d, the thermometer indicated 98 degrees on the ‘With six clear and one partly clear days, the rainfall was but .03 of an inch.

PAEONIAN SPRINGS, Va., Aug. 11, 1895. ‘This beautiful resort in the Blue Ridge, now enjoying the crest of the wave of summer gaiety, is a cool and delightful place for those in search of relief from the heat and discomforts of the cities. Bi- cycling and lawn tennis form amusement for the younger contingent, while bowlins along behind good horses over splendid rcads interest those not inclined to active exercise. A pavilion for dancing is in coure of ecnstruction in the grove adjacent to the Sterling House, the means for which have been supplied by the coltagers and guests at the Springs, and by a lecture delivered by Dr. C. T. Caldwell of Washington. ‘Among the Washingtonians here at pres- ent are the following: At the Sterling House, Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Helphenstine and son, Mr. and Mrs. F. L.

Mail advices from the orient tell of a rebellion in the center of the Island of Formosa. Hoonim, the camphor cen- ter, was attacked on the 27th of June. It is supposed the few Japanese there,num- bering about @ doxen, including the gen- darmes, were killed, and it is feared that D. D. Oliia, a European, has also fallen a victim. The town is supposed to have been sacked and the loss to foreigners will be considerable. This state of affairs is due to the cruelties committed by the Jap- anese in the country, and to the arro- general ment of Alonzo Adama to Madison M.

To Walt for Congress to Pa ficiency Bill—No F the Office Expense: Until Congress makes the necessary ap- Propriation District Attorney Birney, his assisiants and clerks will be without funds. More than that, it is a serious question whether until then Mr. Birney can even se- cure funds from the government with which to meet the current expenses of his office. Congress, at its last session, provided In the legislative, judicial and execut! Propriation bill that hereafter all Unite: States marshals and attorneys should re ceive stated salaries. The attorney for the New York district was exempted from the provisions of the bili as ft passed the House. When the bill reached the Senate Mr. Birney asked that the attorney for the District of Columbia be also exempted. He pointed out that the busines done here excelled that of any other office, and for that reason thought ft unfair and unjust that his salary should be reduced, and his assistants and clerks appointed by the De- partment of Justice. The Senate committee agreed with Mr. Birney, and he and his oilice were exempted. But, through an sight, the bill as ft passed ¢ failed to provide, as heretofore, that the salaries of his office should be pat: the fees earned by it. Hence, Mr. finds himself in the unp! ment of being unable to provic for himself, assistants or clerks The failure tc make the neces: ry appro- pration, Mr. Birney says, was a mere cversight, and he is confident, of course, that in the urgent deficiency bill, expected to be passed early at the next session of Congress, the omission will be remedi Meantime, Mr. Birney has made rrange ments which will provide him and his as- sistants and clerks with funds. — Single Taxers Granted a Writ.
