The funeral services over the remains of the late Mr. Otis C. Wight, principal of Rittenhouse Academy, were held this after- ncon at 2 o'clock at the First Presbyterian Church. The casket, in which reposed all that was mortal of the honored dead, was removed from his late residence and re- posed In front of the platform for two hours previous to the last sad rites. Rev. Dr. Sunderland.fonducted the funeral, and a male quartet, under the leadership of Dr. G. F. Johnston, sang during the service. The honorary pallbearers were Mr. Alfred Lockhart and Mr. T. F. Sargent, repre- senting the elders of the church; Mr. Wil- liam Ballentine, Mr. A. S. Pratt, associates of the deceased in Y.M.C.A.work; Col.Jno.M. Wilson, Mr. H. W. Birg and Admiral Greer, President E. W. Gallaudet and Mr. W. J. Rhees, representing the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. The active pallbearers were all former pupils of Rit- tenhouse Academy. They were Dr. Joseph H. Bryan, Mr. Henry P. Blair, Mr. Wm. H. Mcses, Mr. Alvat Godding, Mr. E. Welsh Ashford and Mr. Wm. Hannay. A large concourse of friends was present in the church, and the casket was almost hidden by the profusion of floral mementoes. The interment, which was private, was made in_ Oak Hill cemetery. The deaths and funerals of Mr. Wight and Judge Richardson, both occurring on the same dates, recalls the co'ncidence that both were friends in early youth, and both attended the same school at Groton, Mass. ——— Meeting at Linden. The largest republican meeting ever held at Linden, Montgomery county, Md., oc- curred yesterday, commencing at 3 o'clock. Voters from all over the country were present. Capt. John L. Husband presided, and after making a short address, intro- duced James Poe of North Carolina, who made an address of great power. He was followed by Mr. Edwards of Washington, who explained the financial question. Mr. J. C. Dowell delivered an address which brought forth much enthusi- asm. Mr. W. Riley Deeble closed the meet- ing with a stirring address, calling upon his hearers to do their duty in Montgomery county. After the meeting music was rendered by a band. a light lunch was server ,and it was midnight before the enthusiastic Mc- Kinleyites adjourned. EE Marriage Licenses.

BREITENSTEIN SOLD Brush of the Cincinnati Club Pays $10,000 for the Great Pitcher. SOUTHPAW HAS SIGNED A CONTRACT Pillsbury Tied for the Lead in the Chess Tourney. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES — eee President Von der Ahe of the St. Louis bese ball team has sold to John T. Brush, owner of the Cincinnati club, the great left- handed pitcher, Theodore Breitenstein, for a cash consideration of $10,000. No trade of players was involved in the deal, it being an out-and-out sale. Von der Ahe’s secretary anounced that the sale was made first because so good a price was offered; second, Breltenstein’s work last year was not satisfactory; third, because the average base ball life of a left- handed pitcher is but four years, a term Breitenstein has already covered. Mr. Brush passed through St. Louis about ten days ago on his way to Kansas City to sce Jimmie Manning relative to the West- ern League muddle. He stopped at St. Louis and offered $8,000 for the famous southpaw. Von der Ahe declined, but said he would take $10,000. Brush declined at that time, but has thought better of it since and on his. return stopped and acceded to Von der Ahe’s terms. Breitenstein signed a Cincinnati contract yesterday afternoon and professes co be greatly pleased to get back with his old catcher, Heine Peltz. The price paid for Breitenstein’s release is the largest since Boston bought Clarkson and Kelly from Chicago, paying $10,000 in each cas®. Brush’s deal means that Cincin- nati will make a big bid for the pennant next year. PILLSBURY A LEADER. Twelfth Round tn the International Chess Tournament.

Janowski beat Maroczy in a queen’s gam- bit, declined after 32 moves. Schiechter beat Tschigorin In a Ruy Lo- bez after 57 moves. : Walbrodt beat Albin in a Ruy Lopez after 61 moves.

FALL BASS FISHING. Some Big Fish Are Being Taken Along the River Front. Fall fishing in the Potomac still contin- ues excellent, and there are numerous sto- ries afloat about remarkable catches. The water is reported unusually clear, but {s about a foot too high to be in perfect condition. The catches all along the river last week were unusually good, although as a rule the fish taken any distance up river averaged small. If reports are true, it would seem that the large bass have con- gregated further down the river than usual. The number taken along the city river front is something out of the ordi- nary. A fine catch was exhibited at The Star office yesterday, which included a four-pounder, two three-pounders and two two-pounders. They were all caught off the Long bridge yesterday forenoon. An interesting fish story is brought down the river from the South branch by Rev. Alex- ander Bielaski. On Monday of last week he captured a large bass, which was at once put in a tin box. During the night the fish disgorged a chub and a sun fish, that weighed at least a quarter of a pound each. He was not brought to Washing- ton until Thursday evening, when he was weighed, and balanced the scales at ex- actly six pounds and an ounce. Mr. Bie- laski captured a hundred bass on this trip. A good many bass are reported in the re- gion of Four-mile run, and the river is being fished for that gamey fish this fall where formerly only perch and other small fish were looked for. Fish and the East Wind. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Can you or any of your readers explain why “fish don’t bite during an east wind?” We have asked the question of many in- telligent persons, but have never found a solution, IZAAK WALTON. ONE-HALL PLAN REJECTED. Decision of the District Basket Ball League. The District Basket Ball League held a meeting last evening at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, at which seven clubs were represented, including the Queer Wheelmen. The Miles Cycle Infantry was not represented, and it was understood that this team would not be in the league this year, leaving the league a seven-club af- fair, the same as last year. The Queer ‘Wheelmen were elected to membership, an official delegate being present. The question of a playing hall was dis- cussed at length. The idea of holding all the games in one centrally located hall was abandoned, and it was decided to pursue the same courre as last year and play in the gymnasiums of the clubs that have such. Upon motion it was carried that in the case of those clubs playing games at the hall of other teams the visiting team was to secure one-third of the receipts. In the event of two clubs playing in the gym- nasium of another club, the winning club takes one-third of the receipts, the losing club gets nothing and the club in whose gymnasium the game is played gets two- thirds of the receipts, The rules were also discussed, and Capt. E. C. Edwards of the Corcoran Cadets, chairman of the committee, stated that he had ascertained that in all other parts of the country the game was played under one set of rules, those published by the Y. M. Cc. A, Publishing Company of New York. The rules for this season have not yet ap- peared, but as the changes are slight, the rules in force last season were read by sections and adopted with some amend- ments. COLORED WHEELMEN PARADE. Made a Good Showing, Though the Number in Line W: Disappointing. The parade of the colored wheelmen was held last evening. There was some disap- pointment as to the number in line, there being only a few hundred riders of both sexes, strung out four and five abreast in scme cases, and double file in others. L. H. Philips, as chief marshal, with James Langhrone ard Capt. Judd Marvin, as right and left aids, respectively, headed the lne. The National Bicycle Club headed the line and made the best showing of any club in line. The riders were all dressed in suits representative of Uncle Sam, and made a good showing. There were no other uniformed clubs in line, though the indi- vidual costuming was good in some cases. ‘There were several riders dressed as “‘the mew woman,” with bloomers of bright- colored material, while one rider on an iron-tire wheel, of ancient description, which rattled continuously, was deserving of the prize for t best costumed rider. He was dressed as a clown, with wide light colored pants, and high hat, and carried a stick in his hand,-on the end of which small bells were attached. ‘The parade was over an hour late, and many people who came out to see it went home before the line appeared, under the belief that the event had been’ postponed. LOCAL TENNIS) TOURNAMENT. Driscoll and Goodfellow Win the Doubles. Driscoll, the crack tennis player of Georgetown University, won additional glory yesterday at the closing day of the Bachelor Club tennis. tournament. Driscoll and Goodfellow in the doubles easily van- quished Metcalf and Geoghegan, the first two winning both sets. The championship game of doubles was played between Dris- coll-Goodfellow and Tobin-McMahon, the first two named winning easily. The weather was perfect for the playing, and the games were witnessed by a large num- ber of people. Driscoll will now meet Davidson in the singles, and play for the championship of the District. This will prove a good game, as Davidson, who 1s an expert player, has held the honor for some years, and the indications are that he will have a hard time defending it against the crack young man from the Pacific coast. Cc. A. C'S IKST GAME, The Local Eleven to Play a Team - From Fort Monroe. The Columbia Athletic Club foot ball team will play their first game of the sea- son Saturday afternoon at Columbia Field, 17th and C streets northwest, at 4 o'clock. The team which will line up against them is a strong one from Fort Monroe, and it is expected that the game will be an in- tensely exciting one. This event will be made a society affair as well as a contest of skill. The visiting team is composed mostly of young officers from the fort, and it is expected that when the battle for supremacy begins both sides will be well represented by many fair enthusiasts, and their escorts. The rooters will, of course, be out in full fo All the C. A. C. foot ball boys are prac- ticing dally, and the best piayers will be picked Friday evening or Saturday morn- ing to line up in Saturday's game, as this year’s team has not been chosen, yet it 18 likely that those players who will repre- sent the C. A. C. in this first game will be the ones chosen to represent the club throughout the coming season. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Movements of the West End of the Metro- politan Line, A McKinley Banner and Who Put It Up—Local Notes of Gen- eral Interest. The Georgetown end of the Metropolitan railroad has lost sume of its prestige since the introduction cf the underground electric system. The offices of the company, which have for some years been located on P street near Rock creek, have been removed to the new building of the company, just back of Lincoln Park. The old houses of the company at this end of the line will only be used as car sheds. The build- ings are more than large enough for this, and it has been stated that the company will subdivide most of its land and place it on the market in building lots, reserving sufficient space for its own use. Some time ago the report was in circula- tion that the company had purchased sev- eral lots near 36th street and Prospect ave- nue, opposite the new union depot, upon the site of which a western terminal would be erected. It will be remembered thai at the time the union depot was projected there were four lines, including the Metro- politan, which were supposed to enter the building. For some reason the Metropolitan refused to enter the place, and, contem- plating erecting @ place of its own, bought the land mentioned above. Nothing has been done since then, McKinley Banner. There is a banner for McKinley and Ho- bart stretched across P street, between 26th and 27th streets, which is occasioning the Police a good deal of trouble. When the banner was stretched in place and who put it up is something that has not as yet been ascertained, but this is not so much the question with the police, who want to find out if the necessary permission has bi given by the Commissioners for the pul pese. The banner is a large white alfair, and is supposed to have been put up by the Lorin M. Saunders’ Republican Club. The banner is tied from tree to tree, and was probably put in place ai night. If it is found that no permit was given the police will take the banner down and confiscate it most likely, at the same time endeavoring to find out who put it in place. A Marringe. Miss Fannie E. Duvall, the daughter of Mrs. William H. Brewton, a well-known young lady, was married last evening to Mr. Archibald Fleagle of Baltimore, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride’s mother, at 1505 33d street. Rev. Dr. Hummer of Baltimore, assisted by Rev. Dr. J. B. Stitt, pastor of Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, tied the nuptial knot. The ceremony was witnessed by a number of friends of the contracting parties. A re- ception was held later in the evening, the couple receiving the congratulations of ll present. At 10 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Fleagle left for a short honeymoon trip, at the close of which they will take up their zesi- dence in Baltimore. Thefts Reported. Mr. A. Peacock of 28th street and Olive avenue reported at the seventh precinct police station this morning that his stable on 29th street was burglarized last evening. The front door was forced open and the thief secured several pieces of harness, valued at $7. There is no clue to the thief. James Douglas, a colored laborer, was arrested last evening by Policeman Will Hess on a charge of stealing an overcoat valued at twenty-five cents from Ferdinand Shipley. Notes. Mr. Chas. Henry Fisher, the well-known barber, is lying seriously ill at his home, 1265 324 street, suffering with an attack of pneumonia. Mr. Chas. Hume leaves during the week to take charge of the salmon hatching and packing plant of Mr. Robert Hume, which ig located on the Columbia river of the Pacific coast. Sa ee Death of Mr. Johnson Sands. Mr. Johnson Sands, the notice of whose death has appeared in The Star, was born in Williamsburg, Va., in 1807, moved to Richmond, Va., in 1858, and from thence to Washington, D. C., where he has since re- sided. Mr. Sands occupied every important position within the gift of his native city, being just previous to his removal to Rich- mond mayor and ex-officio presiding officer of the court. After his removal to Rich- mond he was elected to several official po- sitions, which he held until the breaking out of the late war, when he was ap- pointed to a responsible position in the con- federate states treasury. For many years past, owing to ill health, Mr. Sands has been unable to engage in any business and has consequently led a retired life. Mr. Sands was the last survivor of one of Virginia's oldest families, his brother, Rev. A. H. Sands, for many years a leading member of the Virginia bar, having died many years ago. He was at the time of his death the oldest native of Williamsburg, Va. He leaves a widow, aged seventy-four, who was Miss Lee of Virginia, two sons and three daughters, all of whom were present at his bedside during his last mo- ments. Three years ago the golden wed- ding of this aged couple was celebrated, on which occasion were gathered his children and only surviving granddaughter. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. 8. H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Bap- tist Church, of which Mr. Sands has been for many years the oldest member and of which denomination he has been a leading member for over half a century, The inter- ment will take place at Rock Creek ceme- tery. MANY REPORTS READ Business Transacted at the Spiritualist Convention Today. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MADE A Unique Report From a Man Now a Spirit. OTHER MATTERS BROUGHT UP ———— ee The fourth annual convention of the National Spiritualists’ Association reassem- bled this morning at 10 o'clock at Masonic Temple. The attendance was small, as so many of the delegates were engaged on committee work in an endeavor to get re- ports ready to be submitted to the con- vention as soon as possible. ‘The first work of the convention was the reception of the treasurer's report, which was rendered by Theodore J. Mayer. It showed receipts for the year ending Sep- tember 30, 1896, to be $6,207; disbursemsnts, $5,114; balance on hand, $1,093. Theodore J. Edson made a report from the executive committee, in which he said it had been charged that the national as- sociation was formed for the purpose of exercising the functions of a “pope” in spiritualism. There was no such purpose on the part of the association, he said. On the other hand, its work was purely of a business nature, and was not to exercise any kind of censorship on the thoughts of members. Mr. Sprague, special financial agent, re- ported that Mrs. L. L. D. Jacobs of Mich- igan had left $00 in her will for the benefit of the association. Mr. Walker, special financial agent, re- ported having raised $611.07 for the asso- ciation at Lily Dale, N. Y. Secretary Woodbury announced that ar- rangements had been made to have a ple- ture taken of the delegates on tne patent office steps, ard he requested all delegates should assemble there for that purpose, the pictures to be furnished to delegates at 50 cents each, Mixsionary Report. Mrs. Cadwaller, as special financial and state agent of Pennsylvania and missionary, made her report. She had taken charge of raising a fund for the protection of medli- ums and had secured enough funds for the legal defense of mediums wherever neces- sary, and had succeeded in getting enough funds from spiritualists without drawing on the funds of the National Assoclaiion. In relating her experience in establishing new splritualistie societies she said some at had commented on the ch funny people.” “All this critic had “Ko to the Unitarian Church. Do you think that T, as a Catholic, would go to spirit- ualists’ meeting?” Mrs. Cadwaller protested that :nen were telling fortunes, ete., under the zuise of mediumsip, But in dealing with frauds the law did not discriminate. In one state any one practictig spiritualism 1s subject to a fine of $1 he exposed in the pil- lory and to imprisonment for one year. In Connecticut mediums are treated, she sald, just as petty thieves are. If’ they take money they are convicted for lar- ceny. In Pennsylvania no testimony ts permitted in the case of a medium un- der trial tending to show that the medinm has any occult pow The only question permitted to be heard by the judge in a care there was whether the medium had taken money. In California mediums are treated as vagrants. “Mediums are not fortune tellers,” said Mrs. Cadwaller, “and they should not be branded as such.”” The speaker advised that a careful di- gest be made of laws of all the states of the Union for the punisment of mediums, so that an intelligent effort might be made locking to the abregation of those obnox- fous laws. G. C. B. Ewell of Denver announced that he had secured promises of $1,000 to be left by spiritualists in their wills. He had another valuable gift from Henry J. New- ten of the spirit world, this gift’ to be sent to the association by Mrs. Newton. It consisted of volumes of magazines which Mr. Ewell said, were “extinct,” and the criginal books of the National Theosophical Society, containing the signatures of the founders of that society. He said the theosophists had tried to steal this book many times, but Mrs. Newton had man- aged to keep hold of it. Mrs. Richmond's Report. Mrs. Richmond, as a special financial agent, made a report on her efforts to pro- mote spiritualism, especially in reference to the New York convention. She was well pleased with the prominence the New York papers had given the convention. “Of course,” she said, “they cartooned us, but we didn’t mind that. They cartoon everybody nowadays, from the pope down, from the President up.” This reference to Mrs. Richmond's idea of the place of the President in the order of social affairs brought forth laughter and applause. Mrs. Richmond spoke of the good results from the New York convention because of the attention it attracted to the -y The receipts of the New York conven- tion meetings amounted to $717, of which $413 was from door receipts and $304 from donations. The expenses were $708. President Barrett appointed W. H. Bach reading clerk of the convention to act during the balance of the present meetings, his own voice having suffered from the severe strain upon it during the last two days. Spiritualism in England. ‘A report on spiritualism in England was then read from J. J. Morse of London, England, “If the United States is the plo- neer in modern spiritualism,” the report stated, “England is not far behind in the advancement of this work.” Mr. Morse was glad to say the two foremost nations of the world were the nations in which spiritualism had gained the greatest head- way. In Great Britain, he said, there are 191 societies actively working in the cause, 64 of which are connected with the National Federation, In reat, fees, pay of speakers, traveling expenses and advertisements not less than $1,500 is ex- pended each Sunday. Spiritualists in Great Britain, he reports, number 150,000. A Report From the Spirit World. A unique report of spiritualistic progress connected with recommendations for future work was read from Ernest S. Green, formerly a mortal of San Diego, Cal., and now a spirit wandering about the invisible world. The spirit eat in = report, which was typewritten, that there were mary orthodox-bound spirits in the darker depths of the spirit world who were groping about while brighter shades were radiant in igher realms. nee H. Bach,*the only representative of a children’s lyceum at the convention, re- ported on the work of children’s lyceums of the country. The formation of these lyceums he believed to be the most im- portant thing connected with spiritualists’ work. Many spiritualists send their chil- dren to orthodox Sunday schools, he said, and when asked why they did so, replied that they had no other place for them to go to, and they got good instruction there. “What is this instruction?” said Mr. Bach. “They are taught that their fath- ers and mothers are on a straight road to perdition; that they are crazy or their brains are not like those of normal people. The Catholie Church says, ‘Give me a child till it is seven years old, and I don’t care what you do then.’ This is often quoted as being twelve years, but my father was educated for the Catholic priesthood, and my family were all Catholics until they be- came spiritualists seventeen years ago, and I know. We know that the minds of the young are especially susceptible to proofs of spiritualism, and we should not let pass the opportunity for teaching them in the truths of spiritualism while they are young, as other churches do.” A motion to adjourn was made in order that the tired delegates might get their lunch, but the convention decided to stick closely to business until 1 o'clock, the hour for adjournment.
