Davis was captured, but the other negro got away, not, however, before the officer had given him a-good scare by shooting at him as he fled rapidly down the street. Davis was taken to the station hovse, and this morning Mayor Thompson sent him to jail for further examination. There has been a great deal of complaint of persons stealing lamps from dirt piles snd other obstruetions placed in the streets, and five or six cases have been reported to the police recently. The city !aws require lighted lamps to be ‘on all obstructions left in the streets , and oftentimes it is dangerous to mpelied to use the streets after dark. The authorities will deal severely with all persons caught stealing these lamps in the future. This morning Officers Beach and Arring- ton succeeded in capturing the other negro and took him to the station house, where he save his name as Chas. Williams. He, too, was sent to jail for further examination. Cases Nolle Prossed. In the corporation court yesterday the case of Ernest Travers, charged with steal- ing a gold watch from Mr. Harry Smoot in the demi-monde section of the city a few months back, while both were under the influence of liquor, was nolle prossed by Commonwealth's Attorney Marbury, on ac- count of not having sufficient evidence to convict. The charge of breaking into a freight car was also nolle prossed. A nolle pros. also entered in the Mrs. Margaret Alexander, indicted Ming liquor without a lic Clark Trial Tomorrow.

THE KING'S DAUGHTERS. Quarterly Mecting of the District of jambia Branch, The quarterly meeting of the District of Columbia branch of the International Order of the King’s Daughters and Sons, held in the Church of the Covenant last evenir was a very interesting occasion. Mrs. Isa bella Charles Davis, corresponding secre- tary of the international order; Mrs. W. G. McDowell, secretary of the District branch; Rey. Dr. A. H. Ames and Rev. Charles Alvin Smith were the speakers of the evening. There are about forty circles in the District, with an approximate member- ship of G00, The reports of work given show that much earnest, efficient, spiritual and philanthropic work is being done in our city. The International Order of the Daughters and Sons was foundec women in New York cify; January 1 Its constitution states that its aims and purposes are “to develop spiritual life and to stimulate Chris activities,” and that all who accept these “aims and purpgses” and who “hold themselves respdnsible to the King, our Lord and Savior, J) Christ,” are welcomed to membershir The badge of the order, a small silv cross bearing the initials of their wate word, “In His Name the world, and the correspondin; is in official communication with every nation. The organization incor- porated in 1889, and in 181 the word inter- national was legally added to its title, long before that time its work had become world-wid: ‘The order works in groups called circles. ‘These vary in size, some having ten mem- bers, or even less, some numbering hun- dreds. There are state and county branches, chapters and city unions in America| and Canada, and national branches in foreign lands. Its order of service is “the heart, the home, the church and the world.” While the organization is inter-denominational, perfect loyalty to that branch of the church to which its members belong is insisted upon, and alt '§ at work in churches are under the teaching and guidance of their own pastor or rector. The work embraces building churches, paying mortgages on those already built, building and furnishing parsonages and rectories, educating young men and wo- men for the ministry and for the foreign mission field, taking care of orphans and widows, of the old and the sick, buildi vitals and infirmaries, maintaining day nurseries and Kindergartens, — sending trained nurses to the homes of the poor, and following the sailors out upon the seas with evidences of loving care for their spiritual and bodily welfare. —— RAILROAD AFFAIRS. Suit to Compel the ment of Bonds unranteed by the B. and 0, A petition was entered in the United States court in Baltimore yesterday against the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohic for a mandamus to compel them to pay the holders of $119,000 of the existing mort- gege bonds of the Columbus and Cincinnati Midland Railroad Company, the interest due cn said bonds on July 1, 1896, and Jan- uary 1, 1897; also that the petitioners may be authorized to sue out attachments and lay the same in the hands of the receivers for the prircipal of the bonds to cover all sums of money that may be due or that may become due from the receivers to the Central Onio Railroad Company under the agreement between the Baltimore and Ohio and the Central Ohio, or that the court may proceed to a condemnation of the fund so far as it may be applicable to the payment of the said bonds. The bonds in question bear interest at the rate of 4% per cent, and, by the agree- ment of January 3, 1890, between the Co- lumbus and Cincinnati Midland, the Cen- tral Ohio and Baltimore and Ohio, the lat- ter roud was leased to the Baltimore and Chio for 9 years, the Baltimore and Ohio gvaranteeing the payment of interest upon the bonds; the Baltimore and Ohio retain- ing 65 per cent of the gross earnings of the road, the balance of 35 per cent to ‘go to the Central Ohio; and further guaranteeing that the Central Ohio should receive at least $166,000 every year, the Baltimore and Olio to make good any deficiency, the said $166,000 to be applied to the payment of in- terest and to the sinking fund. ‘The petitioners claim that the Baltimore and Ohio is bound to pay the interest due upon July 1, 1896, and January 1, 1597, and that upon failure to pay said interest six months after the same became due the principal of the bonds became due and pay- able according to the tenor of the bonds. Receivers Cowen and Murray of the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company were yesterday authorized by Judges Goff and Morris of the United States court at Baitl- mire to lease from various parties 1,000 freight cars and the use thereof at a rental of six mills per car per mile. ‘The Joint Traffic Assoctation has granted permission to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company to allow stopovers in Wash- ington on all regular tickets sold to or through the city during the inauguration period. The Hugs Tell the Time. A curious clock, that indicates the time correctly without hands, attracts much no- tice in the window of Mr. J. Selinger, jew- eler and optician, 816 F street. The clock is the invention of Mr. Selinger. In place of hands two gold bugs are used —one to mark the hours and the other the minutes. These are placed loosely on a paper dial, but are not, it is stated, con- nected in any way with the mechanism of the clock. Yet they move around on the dial in such @ manner as to always point out the time. | plained of be righted.

The trustees of the church, which is situated on Champlain avenue, ‘all the parties being colored, thereupon refused to recognize him as the paster of the church, whereupon he filed a bill in equity against them, denying that he has been guilty of any misconduct, and charging that the meeting in question was not a legal one. Judge Cox granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining the trusteés from refus- ing him access’ to the chureh, or from per- formirg his pastoral duties. That done, Judge Cox ordered las¢‘Sdturday that a new vote on Mr. Lamkins dismissal be taken, appointing Mr. Howard as presiding officer of the meeting.

Thomas Williams, alias ‘Bell, a colored man, was charged in thé Police Court to- day by Sergeant Kenny “with vagrancy It was set forth that he had begged at the Chinese legation, the resjgence of Mr. A. L. Barber and at other houses in the vicinity of Columbia Heights. In view of the fact that Williams was released’ from the peni- tentiary last fall, and hail dlso served sey- eral sentences each in ‘jail and the work- heuse, Sergeant Kenny thought it proper to take him into court. - In his defense, Williams set forth that he is a dealer in bottles, and visited the lega- tion in pursuit of business. Several wit- nesses testified in behalf of the man, and Judge Kimbal! dismissed the case. On vagrancy charges, Thomas’ O'Day went down for sixty days, Edward Smith for ten days, William Elliott for thirty days, Charles Williams for sixty days, Joseph White for thirty days, and Charles Kellis for thirty days, ae es Excise Hoard.

The contestants were Mr. McMahon and Miss McKnigat, Mr. W. Fitzgerald and Miss Eddie Smith, Mr. E. Stanton and Miss Chapman, Mr. George Beamer and Miss Benton, Mr. Jake Oppenheimer and Miss Wimsatt. ‘The last two named couples made such a good showing that the judges compelled them to walk over again, amid tie applause of the large crowd. After the second appear- ance of the couples the judges retired, and still a unanimous agreement could not be reached, so close were the merits of the two couples. Two were in favor of Mr. Beamer and Miss Benton, while the third was in favor of Mr. Oppenheimer and Mi Wimsatt, and the decision was so announ ei. The winners were each given a gold piece for their efforts. A Hospital. It scems as though the published reporis of the new hospital, which will be erected under the auspices of the Georgetown University, at the southwest corner of 35th and N streets, are somewhat prema- ture. While the project has been fully launched forth, the plans nave not been fully made up. C.B. Keferstein, whose plans were regarded with the mosi favor, has been sick for the past two weeks and unable to put the finishing touches on his work, and the building operations will not be commenced until a suitable fund has been secured. While the hospital will be <8 under the direction of the university. t rir being of immense value to the me ntific fraternity of the city, scope will be large and ail persons treat- ed. For that reason sutscriptions will be requested as soon as things are gotten in readin to commence the work. - The hospital will not only have the support of the residents of this section of the city, who have long felt the need of such an institution, but support is expected fro: all sections of the city.

The Commissioners followed up their or- ler of yesterday amending the police ri ulations providing for the location of flag- men at the intersection of rapid transit street car lines by sending to Congr today a draft of a bill having the same Their Order object in view. The bill sets forth: That wherever the tracks of two or more rapid transit street railroad ¢ panies intersect within the city of W ington flagmen shall be stationed at such intersecting points whenever the same shall be directed by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, the compensa- tion of such flagmen tobe paid by companies owning the intersecting lines. And any such railr company failing or neglecting to provide such flagmen whe directed by said Commissioners so tu a shall be subject to a penalty of $50 for each and every day during which such fail- ure or neglect continues, said penalty to be recovered by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia in any court uf com- petent jurisdiction. Provided, ‘That this zct shall not be construed to interfere with the rights and power of said Commission- ers to make and enforce police regulatioas under existing law. The Commissioners, anxious to correct the danger at Lith and New York avenue, where the Metropolitan cars cross the tracks of the Columbia ‘street railroad, have sent a copy of the regulation to the presidents of the two railroads with the request that flagmen be placed there at once. —_ Death of W. F. Stowell. News of the death this morning of Will F. Stowell will come as a sad shock to his friends in this city. Mr. Stowell died at the Garfield Hospital just before 9 o'clock, after a brief illness. About a week ago he underwent a severe surgical operation, and though prior to his ad- mission to the hespital he seemed in ex- cellent health, his constitution was unable to withstand the shock. Bulletins from his bedside to his family and immediate friends last night announced the critical pature of his condition, though it was stated that his case did not then appear to be quite hopeless. Mr. Stowell was well known as a youag business man of sterling qualities, of strict integrity and large capabilities. For four- teen years he had been employed in the office of A. S. Pratt & Sons, and was in- trusted with the confidential affairs of the firm. He was also secretary of the Washington Humane Society for an ex- tended period, and an active worker in securing the passage and enforcement cf laws regulating the treatment of dumb animals. He was also prominent as a member of the Christian Endeavor committee of '96, having charge of the arduous work of properly registering the visiting delegates to the great assemblage of last summer. In his own church, the Luther Place Me- morial Church, he was a conspicuous and faithful worker, being for several suc- cessive terms president of the Christian Endeavor Society, and at the time of his death held the position of chorister. ‘ Mr. Stowell. was born in Little Rock, Ark., but was brought to this city with his parents when quite young. He was educated in the public schools here, and has resided here ever since. Little more than a year ago he married Miss Amelia Schmidt of this city, and purchased a comfortable home in Le Droit Park. His young widow and the members of his own family, his mother, two sisters and two ‘brothers, have the sympathy of a large circle of friends to whom Mr. Stowell had endeared himself. the followin; Mary Gavin; Campbell; Hecht. city and Lena Hutchins of Deanwood, D.
