It was hurt in a lum- ber mill, and the thumb now Is as large as a good-sized turnip. He admitted that he had- been begging, but said that he was unable to work as he was just out of a hospital and was doing his best to get back to home in Elizabeth, N. J.

Keane, the former rector, will sail for Europe December 5, and pro- ceed to Rome in reply to a summons from Pope Leo. It is stated that Bishop Keane will reach Baltimore from San Jose tomor- row, and be the guest of Cardinal Gibbons until Monday next, when he will come to the Catholic University and remain until December 4. it ts confidently believed and declared by Bishop Keane's friends that his summons to Rome is intended by the pope to result in very high honors being conferred upon him, and that !f he returns to this country it will be to fill an exalted position in the church. It is said Bishop Keane will be in Rome at least a year, and that if the pope desires him to remain there perma- nently he will receive a cardinal's hat. —_ Drive out to Riggs’ Farm on Sunday and wee the fine display of stock to be sold at auction on Wednesday, December 2, com- mencing at 10:30 a.m.—Advt. MAY HAVE A NEW RAILROAD Prospects of the Norfolk and Western's Com- ing to Washington. What May Result From Recent Rail- road Deals—The Seaboard an@ Southern Fight. The outlook for a demoralizing war of rates, which, as was generally believed, seemed until new to be impending between the Seaboard and the Southern railway companies, has during the last twenty-four hours assumed a less threatening phase. It is now more than probable that the truce which has existed for several weeks be- tween the contending parties may be ex- tended for an indefinite period. The preser- vation of peace will, it is believed, be of ad- vantage to the city of Washington, as !t will render certain the building by the Nor- folk and Western a line of its own into Washington. This could be done by the laying of fifty miles of track between Front Royal, Va., and the District line. It is pretty well understood that some one will sue out an injunction if the Sea- beard starts in to cut rates, and this Its general manager has practically said would be the case unless the Southern concedes its*demand, if made, for the withdrawal of its steamer line between Norfolk and Bal- timore. It is understood, however, that negotia- tions have been begun between the Sea- beard Air Line people and some rich cap- italists, by means of which the autonomy and independence of the Seaboard will be preserved and concessions granted to it in various parts of the south and elsewhere by which it will receive an increased traf- fic, far more than sufficient to counter- balance any loss of revenue on account of the existence of the Southern’s line on Chesapeake bay. According to a story which comes from New York, Vice President and General Manager St. John of the Seaboard has dur- ing the last few months demonstrated to the great ra‘lway managers of the country his ability to make the Seaboard Air Line @ powerful competitor to many other lines, whether it be during a time of peace or the existence of a war, and has also proven to their entire satisfaction that his com- pany is a very desirable ally. ‘The same authority states that the first actual step in promotion of the new order of things was taken Tuesday last, at Win- ston, N. C., when the Roanoke and South- ern railroad was purchased at public sale by a syndicate of capitalists, who are, it is zuderstood, interested in the Norfolk and Western road. It will be remembered that the latter road was purchased a short time ago at foreclosure sale by a member of the house of J. P. Morgan & Co., and the fact that the Roanoke and Southern has been bought by the parties referred to gives color to a report that there is to be a consolidation of the Norfolk and Western and Roanoke and Southern companies. Referring to the matter of the building by the Norfolk and Western of the long- talked-of short line between Front Royal, Va., and Washington, D. C., it can be stated as coming from the highest authori- ty that necessity will compel the building of this line, in order that the great and constantly increasing business of the Nor- folk and Western may be most efficiently transacted. It is true that the Norfolk and Western can now get north from Hagers- town, Md., its northern terminus, by way of the Western Maryland. This, if it was not for the many heavy grades on the road of the latter, would doubtless be a very acceptable outlet for the Norfolk and Western freight business from the south, but there are few people indeed, compara- tively speaking, who ever go north from points on the Norfolk and Western line via Washington, unless business compels them to do so. If, however, the Norfolk and Western could get its own trains into Washington, which would be the case if the Front Royal-Washington road is built, the road would, it is believed by those who have looked into the subject, secure a great north-bound passenger traffic, from which it is now entirely shut out. It is believed that Receiver Murray of the Baltimore and Ohio would do all in his power to aid the. Norfolk and Western in getting to the north via Washington, as the latter would undoubtedly, if the con- nections and extensions talked of are made, receive a great addition to its revenues, as the result of the hauling of business for the Norfolk and Western. Mr. Murray is always on the alert for business. aS AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—Much in- terest is felt in the production tonight at the Lafayette Square Opera House of Mr. Gilbert Parker’s dramatization of his own book, “The Seats of the Mighty.” It will have its first presentation on any stage by Mr. Beerbohm Tree and his company, and it is hoped that the drama will prove suc- cessful. The company has been carefully rehearsing the piece under Mr. Tree’s di- rection for some time, and the scenery has all been especially arranged for this pro- duction. It is expected that Mr. Chas. Froaman, under whose direction Mr. Tree’s American tour is being conducted, and sev- eral New York critics will come on to wit- ness the performance tonight. Miss Forbes’ Recital.Miss Annie V. Forbes will make her appearance as a dra- matic reader at Carroll Institute Hall to- night. Those who have heard her in pri- vate speak in high terms of her ability. She will be assisted by some of the best lo- cal talent, including Miss Eleanor Simonds, Messrs. John H. Nolan, B. Frank Gebest, John Tweedale and Bonie Clark. Miss Mills’ Piano Recital._The announce- ment that Miss Lotta Mills was to appear in a piano recital at Universalist Church tcmorrow evening has caused quite a stir in musical circles. The sale of seats has pro- gressed rapidly, and the audience promises to be one of the most cultured and en- thusiastic of the season. Miss Mills studied for a number of years in Vienna with Paderewski’s teacher, Leschetizky. Through the untiring devotion to her art, and the efforts of her teacher, Miss Mills has stead- ily forged to the front, and today stands as one of the foremost among the genera- tion of younger pianists. Her program has been selected with the utmost care and will demonstrate her versatility. Mr. Lueb- kert, who will assist Miss Mills, possesses a baritone voice cf superior quality, and by his artistic singing will add greatly to the pleasure of the evening. His accompanist, Mr. Edward Varela, is well known to the public as a most accomplished musician. Music students should accept the opportu- nity offered by Miss Mills’ manager—that of obtaining reserved seats at a reduced figure. While such custom is prevalent abroad, it is infrequent, if not wholly ig- nored, in this country. —— Standard Commandery. Standard Coramandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, made its bow to the pub- lic last night as a new organization. Hav- ing been but partially organized at a pre- vious meeting, a meeting was held Wed- nesday evening at the hall over National Capital Bank, Pennsylvania avenue south- east, to complete its crganization. The committee on seal, previously ap- pcinted, reported as a design for the com- Tandery seal a standard (flag) on which the emblems of the order were shown. It was decided that the commandery should meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month in Golden Cross Hall, 316 Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Organiz- ing Deputy John N. Ehle congratulated the commandery on its personnel and numer- ical strength, stating that the charter had been closed with 120 members. At 8 o’clock a recess was declared, when a large number of friends of the members were admitted. The grand commander, Dr. G. W. N. Custis, then installed the officers for the current term, after which the com- mandery proceeded to celebrate its initial existence as an organization. Musical se- lections were rendered by Professors- Ogle and Campbell, and Mrs. Gury and Miss Mattie Allen, and recitations were given by Miss Cora Penfield, Miss Hunter and Pro- fessor Ogle, after which refreshments were served. The success of the entertainment was largely due to the efficient manner in which the committee, of which Mrs. C. E. Kalsum was chairman, performed its duty. Mr. Harry McKee had charge of the program. The officers of the commandery are as follow: M. Allen, past noble commander; Allen Fexthers, noble com- ; Mabel A. Melins, vice noble com- Sadie J. Chauncey, prelate; An- drew Kalstrum, noble keeper of records: W. E, Ambrose, financial keep»r of records: H. H. McKee, treasurer; , herald; Mary A. Speake, warder inner gate: c. F. Fisher, warder outer gate; Jchn Steinle and Dr. E. Y. Davidson, and Dr. M. L. Masterson, medical ex- aminer. THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1896-16 PAGES. “AN EXAMPLE. Annie Foley Preaches a Temperance Lecture to a Boy. The recklessness of youth and the ex- perience of old age sat side by side in the dock of the Police Court this morning. Old age, in the person of Annie Foley, read youth @ lecture that the latter is not likely soon to forget. Harry Taylor, a nineteen-year-old white boy, was arrested yesterday. He was un- der the influence of liquor at the time. He told Judge Kimball this morning that a friend of his gave him some wine yester- day. He drank it and it went to his head. The judge gave Harry a temperance leo- ture that ought to have a good effect. “TI don’t want to dispose of your case just yet,” he said in conclusion. “Step back in the dock for a few minutes.”” It so happened that the young man sat down next to Annie Foley, a familiar fig- ure about the Police Court, who has heen ed rfiany a time and oft for drunk- and disorderly conduct. Harry was not at all impressed by the seriousness of his position. He smiled a careless smile as he sat back on the hard bench. Then An- nie lit into the young man and what she said to him was quite enough. She held herself up to him as a horrible example. The burden of her tale was this: “See what ye'll come to if you kape At up. I’ve drunk mesilf into a vag, and ye'll do the same yersilf if you don’t lave the crayter alone. Quit it, me bye, quit it, and make a man of yersilf.” For ten minutes Annie's tongue wagged in a lively manner, and it was evident that her words carried more weight with the boy than the judge’s lecture had done. Annie went down to the workhouse for fifteen days for disorderly conduct, and Judge Kimball, after thinking over the matter, fined the boy $3, with five days in the workhouse in default. —>—_— AMONG LABOR BODIES. Bricklayers to Choose Delegates—The Knights of Labor. ‘The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union was held last evening at their hall, in Typographical Temple. President William Maghan presided, and J. B. Dowell and T. A. Sullivan were sec- ae THe principal business transacted was the nomination of candidates for delegates to the thirty-first annual convention of the Bricklayers and Masons’ International Union, which begins January 11, 1897, in Worcester, Mass. The following were nemed: W. R. Fisher, J. Lb. Gleason, A. F. Tenley, W. E. Bresnahan, John Welsh, W. H Maghan, J. P. Healey, Chas. Lav: M. P. Canty, William Roach, W. C. lup and P. Harrigan. Of these three will be chosen as delegates, and the three next highest on the list of votes will be the al- ternates. The following were elected judges, and clerk, to conduct the election for delegat which will be held December 10: Judge: Thcmas Corridon, D. McNamara and M. Fitzgerald; clerk, D. J. McMahon. The regular weekly meeting of District Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Labor, was held last evening. Thomas O'Dea, delegate from the assembly to the General Assem- bly of the K. of L., which met recently at Rochester, N. Y., made a report of the Proceedings of that body, so far as they related to local affairs, and asked that the action of the General Assembly thereto be repudiated. After a long discussion the re- port wes adopted, as was announced after the adjouc nt, by a large majority. A special Heeting of Columbia Typo- graphic: Uajon will be held tomorrow evening to cq@jsider the resolution adopted at the recent convention of the Interna- ticnal Typographical Union condemning the application of the civil service law to the employes in the government printing office. ———— A NEW SYNAGOGUE. The Building Committee is Now Con- sidering Plans. The building committee of the Washing- ton Hebrew congregation is now busily en- gaged going over the several sets of plans for a new house of worship, to take the place of the Eighth Street Temple. Plans for this structure have been submitted by Paul J. Pelz, W. J. Palmer and Louis F. Stutz, all having had instructions to pro- vide an edifice that would seat not less than 1,250 people, and to conform in a gen- eral way to the style of architecture fol- lowed in the construction of synagogues. During the past two weeks the building eemmittee has held numerous meetings, tut has not yet reached any decision on’ the plans. It is believed, however, that by next spring all matters pertaining to the new temple will be in a form to permit the con- struction of the building to commence. The rew temple will cost about $75,000, nearly one-half of which amount has been raised. The Hebrew fair held last winter secured about $10,000, and an additional $25,000 has been subscribed by members cf the congregation, though not all of it has yet been paid in. The cash on hand, how- ever, is sufficient to justify beginning tne work, and the building commiitce is now enly delaying in order to decije upon the plans. ———— For the Orphans. The thirteenth annual donation purty and sociable was given at Washington Light Infantry armory last night by the District Catholic Knights of America. The affair was for the benefit of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum, and the proceeds will net quite a considerable sum for that institution, be- sides the various donations made by gen- erous patrons. Dancing was the chief fea- ture of the evening, and it was indulsed in until after midnight. The committee in charge consisted of John Shughrue, F. J. McQuade, William Becker, Robert Ber- berich, Joseph Daly, Frank P. Daley, W. G. Wheatley, Robert McDonail, R. J. Har gan, Thomas Hughes, C. P. Clark, Edlward Voigt, Dr. J. J. Slattery, Thomas A. Kune, William A. Simpson, Edwe+] Horgan, J. M. McKee, Thomas Biggins, Join C. Sullivan and J. F. O'Meara. —._— Narrow Enscape. A colored man, who gave his name as H. Johnson, had a close call for his life on F street between 9th and 10th, this morning. Nine chances out of ten the same accident would result seriously or fatally. A car of the Metropolitan road was going east on F street and another west. Johnson geems to have seen the east-bound car and start- ed to cross the tracks in front of it. Just as he got across one track ht saw the west- bound car almost upon him. He stepped back quickly to avoid being struck by it and was struck on the right arm by the corner of the east-bound car. He was knocked to the pavement between the two cars, each of which was stopped as soon as possible. So soon as it was seen the acci- dent was not serious the cars resumed their journey. ———_—_ Real Estate at Auction.

The series of meetings, heretofore men- ticned in Thé Btar, ito be ‘held in this city by Evangelist Charles N. Crittenton, the founder of the Florence Crittenton Mis- sions, whose special field is the rescue of 1nllen women, will begin Monday evening next at Metropolitan M. EB. Church, or the First Congregational Church, as may in the meantime be decided upon, and con- tinue in one or the other during the ensuing two weeks. At 4 o'clock Monday afternoon a welcome reception will be tendered to Mr. Critten- ton and his co-workers in the parlors and social room of the First Congregational Church, from 4 to 6 o'clock. Rev.B.D.Bailey of the local board of directors will preside. The program will be as follows: Musi “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name; prayer, Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim; addresses of welcome: For the clergy, Rev. Dr. 8. M. Newman; for the church, Rev. Dr. Hugh Johnston; for the Young Men's Christian Association, Mr. W. N. Multer; for home missions, Mrs. Clara L. Roach; solo, “In the Secret of His Presence,” Miss Mary Tuthill. The following will also, it is ex- pected, speak briefly: Bishop Satterlee, Bishop Hurst and Rev. Dr. J. E. Gilbert. Responses to the addresses will be made by Mrs. Kate Walter Barrett and Mr. C. N. Crittenton. The exercises will close with the singing of the doxology. Mr. Crittenton’s Plans, Mr. Crittenton, who is now conducting evangelistic meetings in Baltimore, will close his services there Sunday afternoon with a grand mass meeting in Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church, and on Monday will breach in Washington, coming in his own car, “The Florence Crittenton Rescue Car,” and which is transported free of charge by all the railroads throughout the United States, because of the great work Mr. Crit- fenton Is doing by this means for human- y. Many letters of welcome and invitation have been sent to Mr. Crittenton from prominent ministers and churches here, with assurances of support, among which are’ the Congregational ministers, the Methodist preachers’ meeting, the Central Union Mission, while Bishop Hurst and Bishop Satterlee have both expressed their intention to attend the reception at the First Congregaticnal Church at 4 o'clock Monday, and to speak words of greeting and commendation. Through Conversion. Mr. Crittenton’s one plan to rescue fallen women, as stated by himself, is conversion. “The laws passed by Congress and the various state legislatures are said to be very good in their way. They are proper and necessary. But the only way you can ever check or abolish the evil 1s to get the women converted, and the men, too. A man who has been regenerated by the pow- er of Christ is not going to lie and steal, and he {s not going to commit greater crimes. “So we simply preach the gospel to the girls. Poor creatures! They do not want to continue the lives they are leading. They are glad ef any way-of escape. But what can they do? Nobody will receive them. “They have been the despised and abused of earth so long that even they can hardly believe we are willing to go down to them end take them by the hand the same as we do any other kind of sinners and say: ‘Thé blood ef Christ was for you, too.’ “Our homes are not a solution of the problem. We do not intend them as such. They are simply an evidence of good faith to show these girls that we really mean it when we say there is an opportunity for them to take up @ new life, and that we will stand by them whatever the world may say. . Some people ask sometimes if the wo- men really can be saved. Why, of course they can. Is the power of Christ limited to people who have kept themselves respecta- ble? Even church members ask the ques- tion sometimes. Over and over again it has been proven. “We have hundreds of letters in those cases from girls who have been redeemed and who are walking in the new life. It is really strange that people should ask such a question. Now, I have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, and I know it. If all the people in the world should say it were not so, it wouldn't affect me, for I know it. I have experienced it. If Christ can take a business man with his head full of busi- ness and worldly things and redeem him He can redeem the lowest sinner in the gutter who is unsatisfied with his life any- way. “What should be done? Well, the church people should get together in burning zeal to carry this gospel to the outcasts and tell them there is still fe for them, A great revival and great consecration among church members will have to come before this gospel shall be carried in power to those who have sunk to the depths and given up hope. “Another thing that will have to come is a single standard of morals for man and woman. Ever since the time of Adam the man has been blaming the woman and has succeeded somehow in getting an impres- sion abroad that he was not equally guilty. The blame has fallen heavily through all the centuries, and the weight of it falls on the victims of men. This must be changed. From the very nature of the sin both must be equaliy to blame. You can’t cast out the woman and receive the man. “I don’t know that the evil is on the in- crease. It holds its own at any rate. The population is increasing so fast it is hard to say about the increase or decrease. I do not look for its complete abolition at once. I think {t will be with us till the millen- nium. Only the reign of the gospel can ever rid this earth of it.” LLANE ALD i ROYAL | BAKING POWDER. Absolutely Pure. A, cream of, tartar baking powder.

The market men of the Northern Liberty Market are complaining of the state of af- fairs which they say has existed ever since the water was turned into the big tank of the ice palace overhead. The trouble is in the percolation of the water through the bottom of the tank and then down through the ceiling of the market. Although none of the leaks ts large enough to form a stream of water, the constant dripping is decidedly uncomfortable and sufficient to damage the products offered for sale. When a Star reporter visited the market this morning the superintendent had erect- ed large squares of canvas over the stands where the dripping was heaviest. is kept the water in some measure from the goods displayed by the market men, but the place presented a damp, chilly aspect. Doors and windows were open everywhere to dry out the air and do away with the dampness as much as possible. One of the owners of a stand in conversa- tion with the reporter said: * “We have been suffering from this con- stant dripping ever since the water was turned into the tank Saturday night, and, although the state of affairs is slightly better than it has been, still you can see for yourself how uncomfortable it is. All day Sunday there was a heavy shower in the market and the floors were flooded, damaging goods considerably. I suppose as soon as the cold weather comes and allows the ice upstairs to be frozen solid this dripping will cease, but that prospect will hardly compensate us for the loss in trade, especially the Thanksgiving day trade, of which we lost fully one-third, on account of the water, and will not mend the injury done to the health of men com- pelled to stay here all day iong. We have sent for the health officer to come up and see what can be done about it, and, al- though that action was taken at least five days ago, that official has not yet put in an appearance. He did come last year when the same trouble took place, but stayed only five minutes, and then did nothing about the matter at all. “You can judge for yourself what it means to stay in this damp place all day. We have lost a great deal in trade and a number of people have said that they would not patronize the market any longer. Although an offer has been made to pay us for the cost price of goods damaged that will cut no figure when the loss of patron- age is considered. But 1 do not suzpos that anything can be done, and all we have got to do is to wait and pray for extremely cold weather to set in so as to freeze the ice upstairs solidly, and this will in some measure, I think, step the leak The trouble seems to be in the central and west central parts of the market, while the southern portion is free from the at- tacks of water. As far as can be learned the weather is to be blamed more than any ocher cause for the trouble, and the opin- fon among the market men seems to be that a freezing temperature outside will give relief from the menace to property and health. ee $1.25 to Baltimore and Return Via B. and 0.
