Yo ~ Man Attempted Suicide by Laudanum—Police Court Cases— Other Items of Interest. When the democratic congresstonal con- vention of the eighth Virginia district re- convened at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, after having taken a recess of an hour and a half, the committee on permanent organt- zation made its report, nominating the fol- lewing permanent officers for the conven- tion: J. E. Mason of King George for chatr- E. S. Turner of Fauquier for secre- J. C. Smoot of Alexandria city, Frank Hume of Alexandria county, A. E. Willis of Culpeper, Alfred Leigh of Fairfax, J. E. Pilcher of Fauquier, C. B. Purks of King George, D. Hempstone of Loudoun, W. An- derson of Louisa, K. Brooking of Orange, Edmund Berkeley of Prince William and G. M. Wallace of Stafford for vice presi- dents. Lieut. James Smith of Alexandria Was recommended for sergeant-at-arms. The committee also recommended that the majority rule nominate, but this was de- feated by a vote of 89 to 90, and the two thirds rule was adopted. Mr. Mason, the permanent chairman, wus then escorted to the chair. The committee on resolutions reported their indorsement of the Chic: 30 Platform, and pledged their support to the nominees of the party. The following-named gentlemen then placed in nomination: John F. by E. B. Gray, Frank E. Anderson by John H. Strider, J. E. Willard by R. Walton Moore, J. B. McCabe by Judge R. E. Tebbs, KE. E. Meredith by Geo. 8. Shackle- ford, C. H. Ashton by ‘T. W. Berry, Geo. A. Mushback by W. B. Dobie. ‘The balloting then commenced, and when the convention took a reces at 6 p.m. six ballots had been cast without result. When the convention met again at 8:30 lest night the Opera House was a swelter- ing mass of humanity, but every one was in good humor. Twelve more ballots were taken, when the convention adjourned to meet at 10:30 this morning. An attempt was made last night to stampede the con- vention to R. Walton Moore, and for five minutes the hall rang with cheers for the popular and distinguished young ex-stale senator from Fairfax, but when he finally made himself heard he positively declined to allow his name to go before the convea- tion, and the demonstration subsided. Another Attempt at Suicide. Charles Nowland, a young white man, attempted to end his life last night by tak- ing laudanum. Mr. Edgar Warileld, the druggist, told Officer Roberts that Now- land had purchased laudanum at his store and the officer placed Nowland ander ar- rest. Dr. Hugh McGuire was summoned and arrived about 11 o'clock, at which time Nowland was unconscious and ap- peared to be in a bad way. After about three hours’ hard work he came around all right, but apparently sorry that the laudanum had not done the work. When searched a pistol was found in his pocket and he was brought before the mayor at the police court this morning 1nd a fine of $20 was imposed upon him for carry- ing concealed weapons. Nowland 1s a dis- solute character and had quarreled with his inamoratu, a woman by the name of Arnold, yesterday. Died From the Heat. Richard Edmunds, a colored employe of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon electric railway, was overcome by the heat about 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon, while working on the St. Asaph race track extension, and died upon arriving at his home in this city, No. 413 South Co- lumbus street. Edmunds had been a cook at the race track and had just gone to work on the electric road. He had been married only about three days. Police Court. Mayor Thompson had only two cases be- fore him for trial in the police court this morning. Louisa Fisher, colored, charged with creating a nuisance, was dismissed. Chas. Nowland, white, charged with car- rying concealed weapons, was fined $20. Notes. Sefer Blouse is 111 at hts home, on upper King street. Officers Lyles and Beach are on their annual leave of absence. Mr. Louis Kemper is {ll gt his home on Washington street. were Rixey —s ANACOSTIA. Mr. William H. Brinckley, a prominent merchant of this town, was overcome by the heat Inte yester- day afternoon, and was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where, it 1s thought, he is recovering. Mrs. C. A. O. Brady, who was overcome by the heat Monday, and Tuesday was considered to be In a very critical condition, is now belleved to be out of danger. ‘The Bryan and Sewall Club held a meeting Tues- day evening, and in the absence of President Gray, De. George C. Harrison presided. —— New Superintendent Appointed. Mr. W. 8. Duckett, for some time mana- ger of the Altoona and Pottsville electric railroad and formerly of the General Elec- tric Company, has been appointed super- Intendent of the Great Falls electric rail- way, and entered upon the dischirge of his duties yesterday. Mr. J. J. Camp, who has been discharging the functions of cu- perintendent, with other offices, has been Placed in full charge of the construction of the road, and is busy with a gang of men, laying down a double track from Lit- tle Falls station to Cabin John. This will enable the company to run trains every tive or elght minutes, a requirement made imperative by the great and steady in- crease of travel. The estimate of Mr, Stilson Hutchins when he began the road @ year ago was a half million passengers the first year of actual operation. The real figures will considerably pass the million mark. A large number of new motor and trailer cars have been received and housed in the new car house which has just been finished east of the Foxhall road, so that the road will very socn be ready for any demands upon It. ———— He Had a Raxor. Harry Worthington, colored, who attend- ed the Marire Band concert at the Capitol yesterday, had some trouble with another man, and threatened to cut him with a rezor. For having the weapon in his pocket he was arrested. Today he was fined $50 or sixty deys by Judge Mill Army Orders. Capt. Charles H. Ingalls, assistant quar- termaster, has been relieved from duty in the Department of Dakota and ordered % St. Paul and settle accounts. Capt. James W. Pope, assistant quar- termaster, has been relieved from duty at New York and ordered to take charge of the construction of barracks, etc., at the new military post at Bismarck, N. D. Three months’ leave of absence has been granted Col. Samuel 8. Sumner, 6th Cav- alry; Lieut. Henry L. Harris, ist Artillery, oe Lieut. Col. David Perry, 10th Cav- ry. The following transfers in the 1st Cav- alry are made: Second Lieut. John W. Furlong, from Troop C to Troop F; Second Lieut. Robert C. Williams, from Troop F to Troop C. o Shark Eggs. From the Nidologii Did you ever see a shark's egg? It is one of the oddest-looking things imaginable, and doesn’t have any more of the resem- blance of an egg, strictly speaking, than it does of a paving stone. The particular variety we refer to is pillow-shaped, and has a long “horn” or “feeler’ at each cor- ner. The average size is about two inches by two and three-quarters, and the color ts almost pure black. It is unprovided with shell, as we understand that word, but the contents are protected by a thick, leathery covering which has almost as much elas- ticity about it as a covering of India rub- ber would have. The “feelers” mentioned catch hold of and wind themselves around pieces of seaweed and other floating ob- Jects (just as a grapevine tendril would do), and hang there until the egg is hatched, provided it does not get destroyed. One variety of the shark, Squalus Catulus, lays eighteen eggs during the month of April. These float abqgt until the Ist of Decem- ber, when the little sharks emerge, the period of incubation having been about nine months. AFFAIRS IN) GEORGETOWN so Another Elopement of Young People of That Burg Brought to Licht. oes EES, Serious Acetdent, Narrowly Averted— Arranging fpr Engineer An- gell’s Fumegal—Other Items. Supe Another elopement has just come to light in which the perties concerned are well- known Georgetcwm people. The groom is Mr. Notle H. Thofpas of 1811 35th street, a son of Mr. Colymbus Thomas, the well- known contractor,,while the bride is Miss May E. Godderd,. a pretty elghteen-year- old young lady, who is an orphan, and lived with the family of Mr. Hughes on 35: street, not far from the residence of the groom: ‘fhe young people were married on June 18, On that day, without acquainting any one cf thelr Intentions, they took a trip to Baltimore, and, visiting the parson- age of a church, were married by Rev. Jamcs P, Wilson. Since the marriage the couple have been living at 1840 33d street. The parents of the groom have forgiven the truant couple, and now they are living in happiness. Ran Into a Buggy. About 10 o'clock this morning an acci- dent occurred on M street in front of the ergine house, which fortunately resulted In no more than the breaking of several spokes in a buggy wheel. As train 214 came up the street, a buggy containing a man, who was partly asleep, started to ercss the track. Ringing the bell furiously, and quickly applying the brakes, the grip- man succeeded in preventing a serious col- lision, striking the buggy with sufficient force to nearly turn it over. The force of the collision thoroughly awoke the occu- pant, and, grabbing up the reins, he whip- ped the horse and drove away without ex- amining tie extent of injuries to the buggy o. revealing his identity. Two Arrests. Ying Lee, a Chinese laundryman who keeps at 2073 M street, was arrested yester- Gay by Officer Witt on a charge of assault preferred by Williem H. Marche. From the story of the trouble, it seems as thougn the parties had a dispute, in which the face of Marche was burned by a pipe of the Chinaman. The white man claims the luundryman hii him with the pipe, while the Chinaman claimed that the man ran into the pipe. ‘The case was left to the de- ton of the Police Court judge this morn- the Chinaman leaving $ collateral. Conrad F. Arabin, a grocer at id and Q streets, was arrested yesterday on a charge of obstructing the sidewalk. It seems as though the storekeeper left a load of wood out on the street longer than the law al- lows, the police claiming to have warned him before of this matter, to which no at- tention wus paid. Arranging for Angell's Funeral. The funeral arrangements for the late John D. Angell nave not been completed, though it has been decided to hold the serv- ices Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The interment will be at Rock Creek cemeter: The engine house has been draped in blac in memcry of the deceased. It is probable that the funeral will be attended by a dele- gation from the fire department, headed by Chief Parris, while the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association and the Independent Order of Mechanics will also send dele- gations. Laying Underground Conduits, The Potomac Electric Light and Power Ccmpany has a large force of men at work laying its underground conduits — in Georgetown. An extra large conduit has been laid on 33d street from the power house to M street, while laborers are now engaged in laying the conduits on M sireet from the Aqueduct bridge to Rock creek. When this fs completed, the con- duits will be lafd on 32d street from M to U street, that being all the territory for which the permit has been issued for the laying of the underground service. Ac- cording to the permit, the company is re- quired to remove all its overhead wires within thirty days from the completion of the conduits, - tas An Order Against Swimmers. ‘The members of the Potomac and Colum- bla boat clubs have been afraid to go in swimming in the Potomac off their re- spective boat houses, because of a notice recetved from the police on that beat. It has been the custom of the men, when coming in from a row, to Jump overboard from the float in their rowing costumes, and enjoy a swim. The order of the police prevented this. An investigation revealed the fact that Lieut Swindell of the seventh precinct had issued an order against swim- ming, but which was misinterpreted by the police. On account of the number of boys and men who go in the canal and river in a nude condition the order was issued, but the police took it for granted that the order applied to swimmers in general, and acted accordingly. The Girls’ Reform School. Two inmates of the Girls’ Reform School (colored), on the Conduit road, were re- leased this week in order that they might accept places, and two were allowed to re- turn to their parents. One escaped last Saturday morning, but was captured at midnight down in a South Washington alley. She was in the midst of a swarm of bad characters, but no resistance was made. There are now twenty-six girls at this home. Notes. Mrs. James A. Archer has left for a two weeks’ stay at Culpeper. Mrs. Thomas J. Stanton and family are in western Maryland, where they will re- main for the month, Rev. Dr. W. C. Alexander, wife and fam- ily are summering at Aurora, W. Va. Gray Walters, a messenger boy, was ar- rested last evening for failing to have a ght on his bicycle. Collateral was left for his appearance in court today by a lady who knew the boy. Israel 8. Lee has bought of Jacob P. Clark lots 34 and 35, block 3, of the White- haven subdivision. The consideration is not named. Misses Fannie and Flora Layton are at Washington Grove for the summer, occu- pying Idlewild cottage. Mr. Jesse H. Wilson and family have re- turned from a visit to Asbury Park, and will spend the remainder of the summer at Washington Grove. Col. Gordon of Georgetown Heights, re- tired, recently in command at Fort Myer, will leave tomorrow for Cape May, Atian- Uc City and other northern resorts. He will join his wife and daughter, who are now at one of the northern resorts. eS a IMPROVING THE POTOMAC. Progress of Building the Sen Wall on Both Sides of the Channel. Maj. Charles J. Allen of the Corps of En- gineers has madé‘a r2port of operations for the improvement of the Potomac river at Washington @uring the past month, from which it appears that the work per- formed was confined almost entirely to the construction of the sea wall on the margin of the reclaimed area. This wall has been nearly completed -atong the Virginia chan- nel front of the flats, and also on the Washington channel front, and {s well ad- vanced along the margin of the tidal reser- volr. During the month, 267 linear feet of wall were built dn’ the Virginia channel front. On the northwest short of the tidal reservoir, the building of the upper section of the wall from the level of 21-2 feet above low tide to the level of 6 fet? above the same datum was continued. This sec- tion of the wall is laid in cement mortar, and 800 linear feet were built during the month. The total length of wall com- pleted during the month was 1,067 feet, making a total on the entire work to July 31 of 27,472 feet. —s Naval Orders, Lieut. F. M.

CAPE MAY, N. J., August 13, 1896. The height of the season at this resort is about reached. Though late in commenc- ing, It 1s the best one in the history of the resort since the year 1883. For the first time in these thirteen Intervening years every hotel in Cape May has been crowded, and applicants for rooms had to take cots in the parlors and lobbies of the hotels. The hot weather had much to do with the heavy rush, but the careful and judicious advertising ‘lone by the board of trade, through Mr. Lewis T. Stevens, a local agent, in the leading newpapers of the country, of which The Evening Star was one, has brought results. The fame and patronage of Cape May long ebbing, has turned upon the flood. The advertising of the past two years has started the crowds Cape Mayward, and that done this year has greatly aided in the marvellously suc- cessful season which Cape May is enjoying. Last Saturday and Sunday evenings many private cottages were used by hotel guests for sleeping quarters, and it looks very much as if this coming Saturday and Sun- day evening would sez a repetition of those scene: The heat has been here, too, but the sea breezes which have blown over the place all the week have made the heat bearable, and in many instances it was not hardly noticed.

Irving Marks, the boy house thief who was arrested in this city in December, 1894, for committing a number of house jobs, ts now in prisoh in South county, Rhode Is- land, for a $25,000 diamond robbery at Nar- ragansett Pier. When under arrest here he claimed that he was from Philadelphia, and because of the fact that some influ- ential people came to the front for him he was only required to serve nine months itn Jail instead of being sent to the peniten- Uary. He robbed nine houses here one afternoon, and Detectives Rhodes and Quinlan arrested him and recovered the stolen property before many of his victims knew they had been robbed. One of his victims was Mr. Walter Wellman. From Wellman’s house Marks took a handsome gold watch that the owner had with him on his polar expedition. A few days ago at Narragansett Pler he was arrested on suspicion of having com- mitted a petty offense, and when he learn- ed that a girl was under arrest for the dia- mond robbery, he confessed his guilt and told where he had secreted the diamonds. SS BRIDAL STRATEGY. An Escape From the Shower of Rice and Old Shoes. ‘New York Letter. Miss Sarah Hawley and David Wicks were married at the residence of Miss Hawley’s brother and sister, West 724 street. Miss Hawley Is blessed with many friends and relatives; so ts Mr. Wicks, and the younger element among these friends and relatives have been plotting for weeks to give the couple euch a send-off as no other bridal pair had ever had. But Mr. Wicks shipped off the trunks in advance. Mr. Wicks went to a livery stable and ordered a carriage to walt in front of a West End avenue house. A carriage was at the door of the 72d street house as a blind. Miss Hawley and Mr. Wicks were mar- ried in the evening, and an hour later went to get on their traveling clothes. The guests, about sixty altogether, dug up the collection of shoes and rice and waited in the hall. A half hour passed. “Go and hurry them up,” suggested the best man. “No, let them take their time,” sald one of the ushers. “They've got to come some time, and when they do—” The usher waved an old riding boot tn the air in a way that would have sent chills up the back of any groom, When the half hour had lengthened into an hour, however, and there was still no sign of Mr. and Mrs. Wicks, the bridal party began to get worried. Several ran upstairs, but the victims had flown. They had quietly climbed up to the top floor, mounted the ladder to the scuttle, and crawled through the roof. They had to go over three roofs to the corner of West End avenue, and over one roof down that street, but when they had got there they found that their friend had been true. The scuttle was open, and two minutes later bride and bridegroom were in a car- riage and going at full speed toward the Grand Central station.

He was accompanied by Miss Herbert, although the name “Mrs. Hilary A. Herbert” appeared on the pas- senger Mst. It was a typographical error, and the “Mrs.” on the list was crossed off and “Miss” substituted. A few of the lists, however, had been @istributed before the correction was made, and the saloon voy- agers who saw them at once reverted to the recent reports that the Secretary would soon wed. Secretary Herbert smiled good- humoredly when the mistake was mention- ed. “Iam sorry that it isn’t true,” he said. should be glad if there was a Mrs, Her- bert, but my daughter 1s the only one to ac- company me on this trip.” A pretty wedding took place last evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.

Young horses can be led up to a sack lying on the ground and induced to pass it by let- ting them smell it and find out that it really is a sack and not the protean thing, what- ever {t may be, which illusion conjures up for them. Once the writer saw a very quick and pretty instance of experiment by touch made by a frightened pony. It was being driven as leader in a pony tandem, and stop- ped short in front of where the rails of a steam tramway crossed the road. It first smelled the near rail, and then quickly gave it two taps with its hoof. After this it was satisfied, and crossed the line. On the other hand, a donkey always tried to jump the shadows of tree trunks on the road, though a similar experiment of touch would have shown that these were as unreal as the tram rail was substantial. Lastly, no horse which has once knocked its head against the top of a stable doorway seems quite able to get rid of the illusion that there sits up in the top of all doorways an invisible something which will hit him again next time he goes through. Hence the troublesome, and some- times incurable, habit of horses “‘jibbing” when taken out of the stable. This is an obvious instance of the disad- vantage at which most animals stand in re- gard to means of physical experiments. The herse, for instance, needs only feel the lintel to find out that it is fixed and does not move, and is not alive and waiting to hit him. But except his lips, which are sensitive, he has no member with which he can make this ex- periment. Except the elephant and the monkey, most of the “higher” animals suffer from this lack of the means of experiment. The wonder is, not that they suffer from illusions, but that they make so few mis- takes. ———__-+e+____ Street Railways Philadelph: From the Philadelptia Ledger. By the street railway statement it ap- pears that there are within the city limits 816% miles of streets now occupied by pas- senger railways and 116% miles on which street car privileges have been granted, but not yet used. The latter item ts somewhat surprising information for peo- ple who have been under the impression that the city already had about all the street car lines ft had use for. There are, however, some long lines, especially in suburbs, for which councils grant=d pi fleges many months ago, some of them under the representation that the projec- tors were In great haste to build, but on which not a stroke of work has yet been done. ee A Naval Cadet Appointed.
