COLUMBIA “HEIGHTS Citizens’ Association Holds Meeting Under Difficulties, Rusiness Transacted on Election Night—Rock Creek Park Improve- ments Were Touched On. The regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens’ Association was held last evening under rather trying c'r- cumstances. First, the janitor of the hal? could not be found, and entrance to it had’ to be made by force. Then, when the hal? was finally opened, but nine or ten mem- bers showed up, a quorum being as difficult to find as was democratic majorities yes- terday. Hence, President Ballinger ex- plained that only routine matters would be transacted. The president reperted that the commit- tee appointed to secure through transfers on the Capital Taction road. would submit an argument in writing to the directors of the road today week, and that it is hoped that their effort will be successful. A letter from the Brigatwood Citizens’ Association relative to the Rock Creek Park was laid before the meeting. The cemmunication stated that a resolution had been adopted by that association asking the District Commission-rs io ask for an appropriation of $100,000 for the improve- ment of the park, and recommending that 16th street be made the eastern boundary of the park, as weil as the addition to the same of a tract of land of about 600 feet in width on either side of Piney Branch road. Upon motion the communication was laid on the table for future consideration. Upon the motion of Sesretary Simmons, the executive committee was instructed to make every effort before Congress to se- cure appropriations for the improvement of the ton recommended te the District Commissioners by the association. Upon the suggestion of Mr. O'Donoghie, a committee, consisting of himself, and Messrs. Bunday and Calhoun, were ap- pointed to inquire into the sanitary condi- tion of certain localities in Columbia Heights and adjoining sections. Mr. Calhoun called attention to the recent order of the District Commissioners, re- quiring the Brightwood Railroad Company to remove, within ten days, the woolen pcles on Kenyon street, with permission to replace them by iron poles placed in the middle of the street, or by an underground system, and upon his motion the associa- tien heartily approved the order. Mr. Bundy, from the committee appointe.t to inquire into the advisability of recom- mending uniformity of width in the cross streets m the section from 13th to 7th, re- perted that the plan is inexpedient, ana that the District Commissioners are with- out authority in the matter. The commit- recommend that it be discharged from rther consideration of the matter, anc the association se ordered. Before adjourn ment the following new menbers elected: Felix Brannigan, R. D. Hende John* Sherman, H. S. Brinkenhoff and Daniel Webster. ——._ __ BUILD: TRADES COUNCIL. Weekly Meeting and the Business Transacted. The weekly meeting of the Building Trades Council, which was held last even- ing, was largely attended, notwithstanding the excitement attendant on the desire of the members to hear returns from the elec- tion. After indorsing the peace propositions of the Central Labor Union, as published in The Star of yesterday, a committee, com- posed of Messrs. William Silver, John P. Healey, Andrew Murray, E. A. Fox and J. J. Crowley, was appointed, to confer with a similar committee from the Central Labor Union, for the purpose of discussing plans by which harmony between the various labor bodies in the District may be secured. The Federation of Labor at its meeting last night decided to postpone for two weeks the decision of the body as to what hould be done with the request of the Central Labor Union for the appointment of a committee to meet a similar commit- tee from the C. L. U., whose object would be to endeavor to bring about a more har- monious feeling between the various labor societies here. fessrs. Frank Murray, F. Duffy and Charles H. Warden were appointed a com- mittee to call on those here having Htho- graphic work to be done, and ask them to place their orders with local establish- ments. ee Smalls New Chrysanthemum.

There was a fall of over 8 per cent in the number of deaths in the city during the past week, as compared with that of the week before. The mortality was 101, of which 68 were white and 33 colored, giving a death rate of 18.41 for the whites, and 19.32 fcr the colored, and 18.70 for the whole pepulation, against 23.03 in the correspond- ing period of last year. There were 23 fatal ceses of consumption and 15 of brain affec- tions, and one death each from typhoid and diphtheria. Contagious maladies and those of kidney and heart appear to be compara- tively in abeyance, while those of children under five years old decreased 2) per cent. Of scarlet fever five new cases were re- ported; warning cards were removed from tree premises, and ten still remafned in isolation. Of diphtheria fifteen new cases were reported; twelve houses were released from quarantine, leaving three placarded. A review of the meteorological conditions shows a week of low temperature of the ai mosphere, mild winds and six clear aays. The mean temperature was 56 degre mean relative humidity $5, and mean (actual) barometer 20.06, with almost total absence of rainfall. The thermometer rose from 31 degrees on the 26th to 76 degrees on the 3ist, ranging 45 degrees in four days. Marriages reported, 31, and births, ss. agen as Had a Parade. Election night was enlivened by crowds of marching men with tin horns and rat- tles, the most conspicuous parade being thaf of the students of the medical depart- ment of the Columbian University. The students formed at the college, and, under the leadership of Mr. G. Sanger Driver, who bore aloft a grinring skull, made all the more weird by red lights, marched up and down the avenue cheering and giving the college yell. AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—Amid the alarums of the tin horn and the shouts of the multitude, Miss Ada Rehan played “Lady Gay Spanker” in “London Assur- ance” last night as if no such thing as an election ever occurred to mar the serenity of show-folk. The public, too, encouraged the company to a degree which, considering the counter attractions outside, was note- worthy. The play abounds in opportunities for the varicus members of the company. Mr. Edwin Stevens is a comedian of taste. and in the part of Sir Harcourt proved a very agreeable performer. The desirability of presenting the standard comedies in- stead of fin de siecle experiments was dem- onstrated by last night’s performance. Comedy that is not strained, situations which surprise without becoming absurd, and a Ist of eminent players after whom the modern performer may model his pre- sentation, improving where he can, com- bine to make the probabilities strong for a safe and satisfactory artistic venture. The play was well cast, Miss Rehan being, of course, the chief attraction. the charac- ter affords a delightful vehicle for th graceful volatility of mood, the magnetic enthusiasm which “age cannot wither ni custom stale.” Despite the numerous com petitors who have arisen in tne field of light, literary comedy, the Daly organiza- dicn ‘continues to hold a place among the very best. “The Lady Slavey.”—There ts not a dul moment in the “Lady Slavey,” the Casino production which Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger will present here, at the Laf ette Square Opera House, for one weck, be ginning next Monday, with the customary family matinees Wednesday and Saturday, with all the clever songs and yings, and the remarkable New York cast, whica made the “‘Slavey’’ the fad of tne retropo- Us all of last winter. Marle Dressler, Dan Daly, Charles Danby, Richard Cart, Charles Kirk, Nicholas Burnham, Joseph Greens- felder, George Tallman, Annie Buckley Marie George, Jessie Carlisle, Dorouh: ville, Clara Franton, Lida Lear, La Pett Adelaide, the exquisite chorus and ballet of sixty, have any number of opportunities for fun-making, none of which are over- looked. “The Lady Slavey” bears the dis tinction of being the greatest history of the New York original pro “The Lady in this city, and received the happic dorsement of both the press and public, still it will be found that during its absence if has greatly improved, and comes here wifh the assurance that {t will more than fulfil: the glowing praise bestowed upon it in the principal citfes of this country. Manager Albaugh announces that the sale of seats will open Thursday morning, and that the ordinary scale of prices will prevail. New Columbia Theater.—From current in- dications the new Columbia Theater will be entirely comple before Saturday. It will be a gem in fits tasteful arrangements and decorations, and, what is of greater consequence to amusement rons, it is absolutely fireproof. In regard to its open- ing attraction, no better or more acceptable selection could have beer made than Mr. Grau’s Metropolitan English Grand Opera Company, led by Georgine von Janus- chowsky, the renowned prima donna. The artists include Lizzie Macnichol, a Wash- ington favorit: Minna Schilling, from the New York Metropolitan Opera, a hand- scme woman and a notably fine soprano Mary Helen Howe of this city, whose splen- did voice will surprise by its compass, sweetness and fluency. The male singers include William Mertens, the famous bari- While Inally prod t in- tone of the Damrosch Grand Opera; Payne Clarke, the leading English tenor; Signor A. Montegriffo, the exceeding! popular artist; Edwin Knight and W. H. Clark, both admirable bassos. Besides these art- ists there are other excellent soloists in Mr. Grau's fine organization, in addition to a complete and well-drilled New York chorus and orchestra, under Musical Director Adolph Neundorff, who has no superior in this country. The opening opera next Mon- day will be Verdi's “Il Trovatore,” and Georgine von Januschowsky, Lizzie Mac- nichol, Mary Helen Howe, Payne Clarke, Edwin Knight and William Mertens will sustain the principal parts. This opera well sung is always a public favorite, because it is dramatic, melodious and emotional. Seats are now on sale. “A Baggage Check."—Among the many attractions announced to appear at Man- ager Kernan and Rife’s popular Grand Opera House is Charles E. Blaney’s big farce comedy success, ‘A Baggage Check.” ‘Theater-goers of this city doubtless will remember his other popular success, “Boy Wanted,” which made a decided hit here a few weeks ago. On the strength of this Managers Kernan and Rife immediately booked his other great success, “A Bag- gage Chuck,” to be presented here next week. In “A Baggage Check” there is nothing but pure and unadulterated fun. The comedians are all of them funny, and the soubrettes in the company are all pretty. The company {s headed by two very capable comedians Grapewin and Evans, who have appeared in other success- ful farces in this city before. Louis Marti- nettl of the famous Martinett! family of acrobats appears as Billy Butts, a youth of no importance, and Charles A. Morgan as Willie Walt, young, but witless, and greatly assists In the fun-making. The piece is full of clever specialties, catchy songs and stirring choruses. There are a number of pretty girls in the company, and are headed by Miss Nettle Black, formerly of Hoyt’s “A Trip to Chinatown” com- pany, Daly's and other equally well-known organizations. Others in the company are Miss Maybelle Eckert, Mr. Ludwig Heck, a very clever and artistic violin player; Mr. James A. Marquis, the smallest living actor upon the American stage today: Anna Chance, Carrie Huestis, Frank Egan, the Sisters Clayton and other equally well- known artists. “Shaft No. 2."—"Shaft No. 2," a melo- drama of novel electrical effects and sen- sations, will be seen at the Bijou Family Theater next week, with daily matinees, commencing Monday afternoon. The plot deals with simple, home-like people. True Irish wit causes the laughter, although de- livered in a serious manner. The mount- ing of the play is remarkable: for instance, the machinery used in the first act is made of fron, and is as perfect in its construc- tion as any workshop contains, but it is in the third act where it is said one sees stage effects in a degree of beauty and electric magnificence which defies descrip- tion. The storm scene is d ribed as truly marvelous. The company selected to im- personate the characters of this play are quite in keeping with the excellence of the play itself. Jacob Litt is the manager, and that he never does things by halves’ was proved by the successful run of this pleco at the Academy of Music last season. “Twentieth Century Maids.”—That clever company of burlesquers known as Harry Morris’ ‘Twentieth Century Maids” will be the attraction at Kernan’s next week. The cpening skit is an operatic travesty on the new woman, entitled “The Girl Bachelors’ Ball.” The olio contains such well-known specialty artists as Lew Randall, the clever acrobatic dancer; Carter and Auber, high- class operatic vocalists; Thompson and Col- Uns, kings supreme of parody singers; Net- tie De Coursey (La Petite Chanteuse), who will present_a novel specialty, introducing her song ‘‘Won’t You Marry Me.” A se- ries of Hving reproductions of famous paintings and statuary are also introduced, with Viola Thorndyke, the winner of the second annual $1,000 prize offered by Messrs Morris and Woodhull for the hand- somest-formed woman on the vaudeville stage, as the central figure, assisted by Lil- Man Murtha and ten of the most prominent professtonal poseurs. The performance will close with “Madame Sour Jane,” a most humorous burlesque on Sardou’s great play, in which Harry Morris, America’s most unctuous comedian,-will be seen as Napo- leon Bonaparte, and Nettie De Coursey as “Madame Sour Jane.” Ian Maclaren’s Readirgs.—Very rarely have stories that are called fictitious been ®0 thoroughly based upon reality both as to pecple and places as are those delightful Bonnie Brier Bush sketches by Tan Mac- laren. If you are so fortunate as to visit “Drumlochty,” the natives, who are very proud of Dr. Watson and his stories, wiil point out this place and that as the scene of the various incidents in the book, and they will have many quaint anecdotes to relate of the prototypes of the Bonnie Brier Bush characters. With keen delight they will tell you of “Drumsheugh,” “Burn- brae” or “Jamie Soutar’” and they will show you where they lived. Ian Maclaren’s enly appearance in Washington, on which occasion he gives readings from the annals of Drumlochty, with notes, is set for Wed- nesday, November 18. — Every one is in love with Veiati mels, chocolates and bon-bons.

A tremendous crowd assembled at the corner of King and Washington streets last night to read the news as portrayed on the mammoth screen efiThe Evening Star by stereopticon, and as the news of the re- publican cyclone which swept the country wes rezeived the followers of Bryan, seeing the turn of affairs, shortly, became dis- gusted and quit for home, while the fol- lowers of the sound meney candidate re- niained to the last, getting the returns hot from The Star's wires. The Star's bul- letins—over 500 in number—were flashed out almost every minute and remained until the last, being the only bulletin displayed after midnight. The cyclone, however, did not strike Al- exandria and the democrats polled their usual majority. John F. Rixey of Culpeper, democratic candidate for Congress from this, the eighth, congressional district, was elected by a handsome majority. Notwith- standing the great amount of interest tak- en In the election, it was one of the quict- est ever held in this city, but little occur- ring to make a ruffle. At the fourth ward polls there was an altercation between Mr. Leonard Marbury, commonwealth’s attor- ney, and Mr. 8. G. Brent, corporation at- terney. The row was the resuit of Mr. Brent making an assertion derogatory to any who had stated chat he had placed men in the voting line when they had no right there. Mr. Marbury had just stated that Mr. Brent did this. Only one blow passed, and friends separated them. A good many votes were challenged, and the voters arrested, charged with illegai voting. Among these are Thomas Burden, George Johnson, Thomas Gibson, Wm. A. Parker, Henry Washington, all colored, and Malcolm Hufty, white. All were sent on for trial except Hufty, he being re- leased on $500 bail. There was a great deal of energy shown by the workers in all the precincts polled, and an exceptionally large vote. In the first ward the vote stood as fol- lows: McKinley, 252; Bryan, 317; Palmer, Levering, 6.

Death Lint of the Old James Creek Canal Stendily Grows. The old James creek canal death trap is responsible for one more death. The latest victim was Hartley Brannagan, a colored Tran, about thirty-five years old, who lived at 341 M Ftrect southwest. Last night he left home after supper with the intention of listening to the election news and read- ing the bulletins. This morning about 12:20 o'clock his body was fished out of the canal near the M street bridge. No. 4 patrol wagon was called out and the body was conveyed to the morgue. At that time there was no {dentitication and it was supposed that he was white. But about 8 o'clock this morning Mrs. Brannagan called at the station and made Inquiries about her husband. She had her two Httle children with her, and as there was no record of her husband's arrest the p lice referred her to the morgue, and there she identified her husband's body. ‘There were no marks of violence on the body, so far as the police could ascer- tain from a casual examination, and upon Investigation they learned that the de- ceased had been drinking about 11:30 o'clock, so that his body had not been in the water very long when it was found. Coroner Hammett viewed the body and will hear the statements of witnesses this afternoon. Sent on His Way. This morning when Sanitary Officer Frank reached his office he found waiting for him a boy who wanted transportation to Milwaukee. The boy had met with an ac- cldent, and walked with crutches. His gen- eral appearance showel that he had ex- perienced coasiderable suffering, and he was anxious to get home to his mother and father, and then he said he knew he would get good treatment. Harry Grossky was the name he gave, and his age he said was seventeen. When he came here tn July he said he was arrested en the railroad track with another boy and was sentenced to the workhouse. Although only seven- teen years old he said he was put out on the works and was caught under a falling bank and his leg was injured. Sanitary Officer Frank told the boy he could not send him all the way home, but would send him as far as Pittsburg. “I only want to go home,” said the boy. want to go to my mother and father.” “But,” explained the sanitary officer, “I haven't the funds to send you all the way. When you get to Pittsburg you may get help from the police. Still the boy did not want to go, but when he learned that there was nothing he could do here except to go to the almshouse or some other institution he consented to go as far as the sanitary officer would send him, and now he ts on his way to Pittsburg.

His completion of four- score years finds him in good health and spirits. He did not go to court today, but spent the working hours seated in his li- brary, where a constant stream of visitors, old and young, officially and socially dis- tingutshed, came and went all day to offer their congratulations, The library in the Field residence, Lanier Place, is one of the most pleasant rooms in the roomy, old- fashioned home. The venerable jurist was not left alone there very often today. The Supreme bench, headed by the chief jus- tice, paid its respects to its distinguished member early in the forenoon. Messengers kept on bringing flowers—great boxes of roses, chrysanthemums and violets, with expressions of friends’ good wishes, until the big drawing rooms and sitting rooms of the house were decked out in the most elaborate style with them. It was long the custom when all the four Field brothers lived that they spent each other's birthdays together. Since the deaths of Cyrus K. Field and David Dudiey Field, this quartet of able men has narro down to Justice Field and Rev. Henry M. Field of New York. The latter has been making a visit for some little time with his brother, and {fs here today to observe with him the family custom. Justice Field is now reaping the benefit of the treatment taken during last summer at a California mud spring. On his trip across the continent last spring the pain in his knee was so severe that it greatly weakened his general health. He improved vastly under the treatment there of mud poultices on the aching parts, and returned here entirely free from pain in that limb. He has been as constant as ever in his attendance on the bench the past month— and his friends look forward to his con- tinued activity—for a long time to come. —> — NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN PARKER Amer! n Common Sense Brought put McKinley’s Triumph. Nationa! Committeeman Myron M. Park- er looked as if he was ten feet tall and supremely pleased in every inch of it when a Star reporter met him this morning. There was none of the “I-told-you-so” air about him, however. He had that broad and comprehensive halo of satisfaction around his face that illumines it when he lands a thirty-pound salmon, for instance, or kills a moose. “The election of Maj. McKinley simply the expression of the sound com- mon sense of the American people,” said Mr. Parker. “I belleve that no one who appreclates. what that characteristic is ever thought for an instant that the out- come would be any different. It : simply preposterous to think that the of a free and liberty-loving, law-lovin: home-loving people would 1 of destruction to all s' and of our institution of Bryan would mean.

The revivifying effects of the election upon busin: will be immediate and widespread, be the sound and stable government that McKinley's election means will restore confidence in the hearts and minds of all. Too much praise cannot be given to the sound money democrats for the stalwart patriotism they displayed in helping to win the fight for national honor. They were st and unceasing in their efforts and acrificing in their devotion to the cause. The old ship of state will move along on an even keel now, with safe hands on the helm and a compe. tent crew, and there will shoais ahead, you may rest assured. > Gude's Free E A grand display.

Two Rooms Seem to Have Been Af- fected More or Lens. Health Officer Woodward has made an investigation of the cases of diphtheria re- ported In two rooms of the Peabody School and today the two rooms and the play room were fumigated. The first report made was that there were nine or ten cases of the disease in the building, but an in vestigation showed that there were actuall enly five cases. Other children, however, had been kept at home because of diseas in the houses in which they resi The health officials could see no reason for alarm, nor could they trace the few cas as resulting from conditions prevalent in the building. While it was not deemed absolutely necessary to do any fumigation ii was decided to do the work because of the fear on part of parents who are keeping their children from schccl. Sulphur can- des were not used in the work of disin- fecting the rooms, a solution of bichlor! et mercury being used in its stead. The use of this solution necessitated the closing ot only the rooms that were disinfected. While this is deemed all the precauyion Lecessary, the parents of many of the chi dren are by no means satisfied, as Ub think the entire building should be fumi- gated. This, of course, would necessitate the closing the entire building for a short time, but this would be preferable to the parents, who would then be fully satistied to send their children back to school. As it is, some of the children may be kept out of school for eral days yet. Outside the school it is sald there are a number of eases of diphth: hould there be any rew cases of the ase in the school the building will probably be closed and thor- cughly fumigated.
