A report has reached Anacostia that Mrs. Irwin, whose busban¢, James Irwin, was murdered near Ia Plata a few days ago, and who is now in jail at La Plata, charged with being accessory to the act, will turn state’s evidence against the alleged murderer, George Matthews. Within the past few @ays the county authorities permitted Jobn Jack- son, father of the accused woman, to have a talk with her, and it 13 sald he urged his daughter to wake a clean breast of the horrible affair, and tell all she knows about it. ‘The county authorities have, when questioned, declined to give any information as to why Mr. Jackson was allowed to talk with Mrs. Irwin, or whether she has been promised immunity from the severest penalties of the law in case of her con- viction 4; the under which she is im- Prisoneas bat it Pg ae that the prisoner has en assured that if she will testify against Mat- thews it is that her own trial will resuit more favorably {6 ber than would otherwise be the cate. ye Mattoon = te cone "for fect thet “Maithewy ‘Wopld by. morse a ee gt ae Fi z on to Jailer that Matthews ‘was #0 securely confined in & cell that he could net possibly escape therefrom, and cousequently there was no reasoa why she should BA guy alarm on the subject. it tood that the gns street car motor righ has been under ‘sent to Anacostia, where, as heretofore finied in The Star. f will be given a trial on the o Anacostia railway, permission to eo baving been already given by President Grisw $f tH Fad: The Slence of the new power be- e that it will prore to be a complete succres, and the eonsular reports on file at the State De- ment show that similar motors pave been ‘with great success in a number of European cfties, ——— A Boy’s Chances Spoiled.

WATER AND MERCURY Both Fell Together at an Unusually Rapid Rate. AN INCH OF RAIN IN 20 MINUTES Warm Wave Will Continue, but Be Less Intense. WEATHER BUREAU TALK Washingtonians went about their duties this morning with more aotivity than they have shown for many days. The black rings around their eyes had disappeared beneath the influence of a good night's rest, and there were genial smiles on many faces that had almost forgotten how to look pleasant or amfable. During the morning hours the streets took on almost a holiday appearance when compared with preceding days, owing to the shoppers, who took advantage of the new weather condi- tions to secure needed articles, and the errandless throngs, who were delighted at the chance given them to sniff something ike fresh air and to treat thelr muscles to badly needed exercise. Of course, everybody congratulated ev- erybody else on the break in the solstice, and while there was still a great deal of warmth in the atmosphere, the memory of last night's delightfulness and the appre- ciable improvement in the atmosphere this morning were sufficient to inspire a gen- eral feeling of gratitude. At the weather bureau Forecaster Dunwoody said that the break in the hot wave could not be con- sidered as a permanent one, and that it would probably be warmer tomorrow, al- though not quite so bad as yesterday. The northwesterly winds so refreshing today were expected to veer around to the south. Local thunder showers were again indicat- ed for this evening, but the best part of it all was, for present blessings are always most appreciated, that there was a strong prob: ity that the mercury today would not reach a maximum of more than 90. At noon today the weather bureau thermome- ter marked 82. Yesterday at the same hour the record was 90. A Remarkable Downpour. Seldom, if ever, has there been such a coplous downpour in so short a time as that occasioned by the storm which visited Washington yesterday evening as the 6 o'clock whistles were getting ready to blow. The shower began shortly before that hour. Twenty minutes afterward the deluge be- gan. In the succeeding twenty minutes no less than one Inch of rain fell, according to the record at the weather bureau. During the evening, up to midnight, the total fall was 1.90 inches. The effect was glorious in a@ variety of ways. With the fall of the water the temperature tumbled down until the thermometer marked 70 degrees, a fall of 26 points from 2:30 in the afternoon, when 96 was recorded. All night, until 6 o'ciock this morning, the temperature re- m.ained steadily at 70. The last rainfall of any consequence in Washington was on July 21, when 88-100 of an inch fell in fifty-five minutes. The shower was a blessing in a variety of ways. The torrents that fell washed away the dust from leaves and branches, streets and roofs, and relieved them from the ac- cumulated heat they had been storing for many days. The sewers were flushed, and their stag- nant contents swept out into the river, and everywhere the water went it did splendid sanitary service, the good effects of which cannot be estimated. Over Two Inches in Pittsburg. The rain extended from Montreal to Lynchburg and from Port Huron to At- lantic City, leaving out Boston, but cov- ering all the rest of the middle Atlantic and New England states. The rainfall in Pittsburg alone exceeded that in Washing- ton, the record there being 2.30 inches. The maximem _temperatur. yesterday were: Phoenix, Arizona, 198; Vicksburg, 100; Little Rock, 100; Montgomery, Ala., U8; Palestine, Texas, 98; Memphis, ¢S: Pueblo, Col., 98; Dodge City, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Nashville and Nor- folk were the same as Washington, 06 de- grees. Prostrations From the Heat. Additional prostrations were reported yesterday after The Star was issued. Miss Lizzie Kelly of Dublin, Ireland, who was visiting her sister, Mis. Mary Early, in this city, was overcome about 3:30 o'clock and taken to Emergency Hospital in a very serious condition, her tempera- ture being 110. She was vigorously treated and was out of danger in a few hours. While waiting for a train at the Penn- Sylvania depot yesterday evening about 4:30 o'clock, George Wilson, fifty-four years old and a resident of Pittsburg, who Jost one leg in the army, was overcome by the heat. He was revived at Emergency Hospital and recovered. Minor Lawson of 463 Missouri avenue was slightly affected while near 7th and Boundary streets and walked to Freed- men’s Hospital, where he was relieved. Charles Scharel of 913 41% street south- West was overcome, but quickly recovered at_ the Emergency Hospital. Washington Donaldson of Philadelphia was treated at Providence Hospital for heat stroke and quickly recovered. Mrs. Bridget Brian of 915 27th street was overcome at 19th street and Pennsylvania avenue yesterday afternoon. At the Emer- gency Hospital she was restored to con- Sclousness and soon recovered sufficiently to go home. — INSTRUCTED THE JURY. A Question Raised as to the Power of a Justice of Pence. To test the alleged right of a justice of the peace to Instruct a jury, Attorney John H. Adrteans today filed a petition for a writ of certiorari directed against Justice Saml. R. Church. Mr. Adriaars states that In a case re- cently before the justice, in which he (Adr!- aans) was the plaintiff, the justice, against Ris objection, and, says Mr. Adriaans, in violation of law, instructed the jury, di- recting them, upon the motion of the de- fendant, to return a verdict against him. ‘The petition raises an interesting question, its importance being much gieater since the recently extended jurisdiction of jus- tices of the peace. ——__.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Judge Rixey of Culpeper Nominated by the Democrats. An Abusive Tramp Sent Down—Other Police Matters—Notes of Interest. Judge John F. Rixey of Culpeper was nominated for Congress on the fiftieth bal- lott by the eighth Virginia district con- gressional convention, which has been in session for two days in Alexandria. When the deadlock broke for the Culpeper man the convention went wild with enthusiasm. Rixey had led frcm the start, and last night, just before the nomination was made, the fight ¢windled down to McCabe of Loudoun, Anderscn of Alexandria and Rixey. Some of the McCabe supporters had agreed to throw their strength to the Alex- andria man rather than let Rixey win. The plan failed, the Alexandria men seeing that the Loudoun men would stick by Me- Cebe to tre last. Mr. T. H. Netherland of the Alexandria delegation then arose and announced that a majority vote of his delegation would go for Rixey, and the ordeal was passed. Af- ter order was restored the vote was an- nounced, 10,230 for Rixey against 6,623 for McCabe. Upon motion of Mr. May of Alexandria, Mr. Rixey and all of the defeated candi- detes were invited before the convention. Mr. Rixey was notified of his nomination, and made a neat speech of thanks. The other candidates made short speeches of congratulation, and pledged their support to the ticket. An Abusive Tramp. A stalwart white man, calling himself Pat Jones, was sent to the chain gang for ninety days by the mayor this mora- ing on complaint of ex-Mayor E. E. Down- hem. While eating breakfast this morn- ing Mr. Downham heard his dog yelping on the lawn, which stretches a distance of a block to the rear of his residence, on North Washington street, and going to the decr he found the tramp kicking the dog. Upen Mr. Downham’s order the man left the premises, but stood in the street and in language more ferceful than polite in- dulged in a round of abvse, which soon drew a crowd. One of Mr. Downham’s sons blew a police whistle, at the sound of which the man took to his heels, with the crowd after him. He was overtaken by Sergeant Smith after some lively sprint- ing, and landed in the station house. Police Court. Mayor Thompson disposed of the follow- ing cases this morning: Moses Simms, col- ored, charged with assault on Courtland Seaton, was fined $1. Robert Palmer, col- ored, arrested as a suspicious character and charged with carrying a razor, ninety days on the chain gang. Sallie Carter, col- ored, charged with disorderly conduct, dis- charged on account cf insufficient evidence. George Andrews and Matilda Jones, col- ored, charged with disorderly conduct and annoying a sick woman, discharged on ac- count of insufficient evidence. Pat Jones, a white tramp, charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing on Mr. E. E. Downham’s premises, ninety days on the chain gang. Notes. Messrs. R. D.

Martin, the young woman from Danville, Va., who caused the arrest yes- terday of Jacob B. Davis on a charge of having improper relations with her under promise of marriage, as published in ves- terday’s Star, appeared in the Police Court this morning to relate the story of her wrongs. She was ready to explain to Judge Mills how she had met the young man at her home when “heseame to the Virginia city as a news agent on the train erd how she had come here and lived with him as his wife In his parents’ home in South Washington. But all this public rehearsal of their trials @hd tribalations Was rendered unnecessary by their becom- ing lawfully wedded. When Miss Marun, who ig eighteen years old, called on Prosecuting’ Attorney Mul- lowny and related what hail happened she did not want the young mai sent to pris- on, and so toid the prosecutor. What she Wanted to do was to right the wrong as nearly as possible and leg!timatize her oft- spring in the future. ‘Lhe young man, who, it appears, is also only eighteen years old, was consulted. On one side there was imprighmment staring him in the face, while on the ather hand he realized that he had wronged ‘the girl, and so he concluded to right the wrong as far as he could. He thereforescbncluded that he would marry the girl aud the old li- cense he had purchased several months ago was produced. The Rev. E. D. Bailey was telephoned for, but he was too busy at his offize and could not come. It then occurred to those interested In the case that one of tne judges of the Police Court or a magistrate might perform the ceremony. To get a minister in a short time was almost out of the question, and so Justice O'Neal was sent for and his services were engaged. But then there was a legal obstacle in the way, for under the terms of the old license no one but a regularly ordained minister of the gospel had the legal right to marry, and so a new license was neces- sary. It was then necessary for the young man to leave the prospective bride and go to the city hall with his father, for, be- cause of his youth, it was necessary that his father's consent should be given. When the clerk's office was reached there was Still another obstacle in the way which had to be cleared away by Miss Mar:in. This done the party repaired to the office of Justice O'Neal, where they joined hands and listened to the short ceremony: ‘By authority inves.cd In me by law I Pronounce you husband and wife. What God hath joined together let not man put asunder.” The audience dispersed and the youn; couple's marriage certificate was furnishe them. Before this was done Davis prom- ised that he would be kind and true to SaMy and would do the best he could to support her. The charge against him i court was thus ended. Za —+—___ BROOKLAND. Maj.

PREPARING FOR A GATHERING ON 27TH Delegates Will Be Sent to the In- dianapolis Convention. OLD DOMINION POLITICS Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., August 14, 1896. Mr. Joseph Bryan, the Virginia repre- sentative at the Indianapolis sound: money conference, and who was one of the signers of the call for a state convention to nom!- nate deiegates to the “national” demo- cratic nominating convention in that city September 12, has recelyed numerous re- plies to the circular sent out to sound money men ir. various portions of the state. Notwithstanding the fact that this cireu- lar was not sent out until last Wednesday, replies have been received from a dozen sources by Mr. Bryan alone, and many of them contained long ists of names of sound money democrats who will join in the third ticket movement. Prominent among these is one from Lynchburg, which contains fifty names of the most promineat people of that city, and the writer says that a great many more could have been obtained if they had been wanted. The widely spread sound money senti- ment in Lynchburg ts all the more strik- ing because of the fact that the only two newspapers published there are owned and edited by a free silver man. By August 27, the date fixed for the Vir- ginia sound money convention in this city, it Is expected that every county in the state will have representation, and a demonstration made which will ‘show the free silver element that they will not have a walkover November next. The Circular. Following is the circular which was sent all over the state as the result of a con- ference held in Mr. Bryan's office last Wed- nesday: “RICHMOND, Va., August 11, 1896. “In view of the repudiation of the car- dinal principles of the democratic party by the convention recently held at Chicago, steps were immediately taken by demo- crats, who remain true to the principles of the party, to organize for the preservation of those principles for which the demo- crats have contended for more than a cen- tury. “In this behalf a_ provisional executive committee, represeating thirty-three states, met at Indianapolis, Ind., on the 7th of August, and issued a cail for a national democratic convention, to be held at In- dianapolis, Ind., on the 2d day of Septem- ber, for the purpose of adopting a plat- form which should reaffirm the doctrines of the party, and of nominating candidates devoted to those doctrines. “In pursuance of this call, it has been deemed advisable by friends of the move- ment to issue a call for a state convention of democrats wh» reject the Chicago plat- form and will not vote for nominees who accept and approve it, to be held in the clty of Richmond, on Wednesday, August at 11 a.m., for the purpose of sending delegates to the Indianapolis convention, and for such other business as may come before the convention. “It 1s understood that you are a democrat of the old school, and in ¢ympathy with the purpose to maintain democratic principles and the existing standard of value, and we desire, with your permission, to append your name to the call for the state con- vention. This call will he numerously sign- ed, but it 1s deemed best to have a goodly number of representative men from every section of the state. “Should you give your assent to this re- quest, please indicate it at your earliest convenience, and give the names of any other democrats in your vicinity who are of the same mind. Very respectfully, Jos. Bryan, F. T. Glasgow, E. C. Venable, Wyndham R. Meredith, Alex. Hamilton.” Regular Democratic Headquarters Open. Chairman Ellyson of the democratic state committee and Secretary Joseph Button have opened headquerters here and have begun work in earnest. Secretary Button says he never saw such a demand for campaign literature, and that great quantities of it would be sent out all through the state. Prepara- tions are being made also to have every available man in the state on the stump, and the indications are that this will be one of the most hotly contested campaigns in Virginia since the readjuster da The displacing of Col. John Bell Bigger, the veteran clerk of the house of dele- gates, as secretary of the state democratic committee, and the appointment of Mr. Joseph Button, the right bower of State Senator H. D. Flood of Appomattox, has been the cause of a good deal of talk in political circles. It was given out official- ly that Col. Bigger’s impaired health was the cause of his retirement, but the colonel indignantly denied this in a newspaper publication tmmediately after the change and since then has sald nothing. He de- clared that he was never in betier health jn his life, and that he would continue to work for the success of the democratic party, notwith=tanding the fact that he had been reduced to the ranks. Mr. Button, his successor, was elected clerk of the ‘senate at the recent session and proved a very efficient officer. He is well informed, a hard worker and a good organizer. Harmony Among Republicans. The most remarkable metamorphosis of the campaign is the change that has come over the warring political factions in the republican party in this state. Where a week ago all seemed to be war and internal strife, there is this week apparently com- plete unification of forces, and the mos: harmonious working of all influences. Tae first meeting of the general committee for the conduct of the campaign which took place here Thursday was harmonious, and plans for the active prosecution of the campaign for McKinley were mapped out. Colonel James D. Brady and Mr. Asa Rogers of Petersburg, secretaries of the gez.eral committee and the state executive committee, respectively, arrived today to open. permanent headquarters, and it 1s un- derstood that Colonel Wm. Lamb, the chairman of the Virgiala republicans, will reside in this city during the canvass, with headquarters at the Jefferson. The aj pointment of Judge Edmund Waddill by the national commiitee as treasurer of the campaign committee gives a practical sem- blance to the campaign that has maue a deep impression on the lower ranks of the party, and from the first day of the an- nouncement of his appointment Judge Waddill has apparently grown greatly in popularity with the adherents of the party, and his office is crowded daily with local leaders bearing information for the fur- therance of the good work. A Republican Conterence. A number of republican leaders through- out the state were here Wednesday and spent the night in the city. Among them were Col. J. Hampton Hoge, the congres- sional nominee in the sixth district; Mr. R. T. Thorp, one of the nominees in the fourth; Col. J. D. Brady and Mr. Asa Rog- ers of Petersburg; Mr. Carney, the noml- nee of the second district, and other men prominent in republican affairs in Virginia. A conference was held that night at Judge Waddill’s residence, at which Mr. Thorp was present, in order to bring about an understanding whereby only one candidate would be in the field in the fourth district. It is believed that some understanding was reached whereby Mr. Gece will retire and Mr. Thorp stand for re-election. An effort will also be made to bring about a similar state of affairs in the sec- ond district, where there are two republi- can candidates. Col. Boykin’s Ambition. Col. R. E. Boykin, who it is believed will oppose Cor-gressman D. Gardiner Tyler for the democratic nomination of the second or Norfolk district, has been in the city, and visited the state headquarters. Col. Boykin has a strong following in the dis- trict, but it is doubtful that he can defeat Mr. Tyler for the nomination. In view of the fact that the second was the only dis- INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. -Page 10 ATTORNEYS... -Page 4 AUCTION SALES. -Page 9 BOARDING -Page BUSINESS -Page CITY ITEMS... -Page 1 COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS. -Page COUNTRY BOARD.......... -Page -Page EDUCATIONAL. -Page EXCURSION -Page 1 FINANCIAL. : -Page FOREIGN POSTAL SERVICH. -Page FO?
