T were ele AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Pushing the Projected Erection of a Hospital. Circulars Being Sent Out—Local Notes of General and Especial Interest. The work of erecting a hospital in Georgetown is being pushed as rapidly as possible, but before the work is com- menced a building fund of at least half of the estimated cost of the new structure is thought to be necessary. With this end in view personal letters have been sent to all of the well-known residents of this sec- tion of the city, asking for their help and co-operation in the matter. The building commmittee of the hospital is composed of Drs. Joseph Taber Johnson, C. H. A. Kiein- schmidt, George Lloyd Magruder, George M. Kober and J. Ryan Devereux. The let- ter sent out over the names of this com- mittee is as follows: “The medical faculty of Georgetown Uni- versity contemplates the erection of a hos- pital at the corner of 35th and M streets in West Washington. In so doing they hope not only to advance the interests of the higher medical education, but also the cause of humanity, as Georgetown, with a population of over 25,000 people, has no hospital or dispensary facilities. Instances are not infrequent where patients for want of prompt aid have died in transit to the Emergency, Providence and Garfield Hos- pitals. It needs no argument to convince the friends of the university that,an ideal medical education must inciude a thorough practical training. Plans for the erection of a suitable building for the accommoda- tion of thirty-six patients have been pre- pared, which will involve an outlay of $0,000. The university has provided suit- able grounds and subscriptions to the amount of $5,000 are reasonably: assured, but it is deemed wise not even to make a beginning until at least $15,000 are at our disposal. Since the hospital will be open to the sick poor, regardless of creed or color, we appeal to all classes, and espe- ally to the friends and alumni of the uni- . for substantial aid in this under- . Appreciating the fact that a time- ly gift is a double gift, the building com- mittee has resolved that contributors of oo or over shall be allowed to name a ward or clinical room. Contributors of $1,009 will have the privilege of naming a room, and contributors of $00 may name a bed. Wards, rooms and beds will be named after the respective benefactors unless otherwise directed by them.” Appended to the appeal is a personal i dorsement of Rev. J. Havens Richards, 8 J., the rector of the university, in which he expressed the hope that ail friends of Georgetown, of science and of humanity will liberally subseribe to the object. An- other inclosure divides seven classes of donation from $100 cash and $100 per an- num for five years down to $5 cash and $) per annum for the same period, while on the same sheet is the form of a devise in case any one desires to leave a legacy. Dr. J. Taber Johnson, as chairman of the building committee, announces that the next meeting for the furtherance of the p t will be held in the parlors of the Arlington Hotel Thursday afternoon, March 18, at 4 o'ciock, at which a hospital aid society will be organized. The plans of the new hospita! while not entirely complete will soon be. The front elevation provides for a three-story brick structure, which has a good architectural appearance. The main tower will be at the corner of 35th and N streets, will he are shaped, and will extend some dis- tance above the fourth or mansard story of the structure. There will also be a medevial tower at the southeast corner of the building. The main entrance will be on 2 while the entrance for the ambulance will he near the extreme west end of the building on N street. The whole building will present a splendid ap- pearance, #nd will be a substantial addi- tion not only to that section of Georg town, but to the whole of West Wash- ington. Shocking Assault. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Capt. John Neuse, the manager of a canal boat lying near the Aqueduct bridge, called at the station house, accompanied by his five- year-old daughter Rosa, and told a tale of brutal criminal assault, in which his daugh- ter was the victim. The father stated that yesterday afternoon the mother permitted the child to go ashore and play, and while amusing herself was met by two boys about t n years of age each, whose names are iven as Eddie McCauley and Phil Eng- land, who entice] her away into a deserted shed. The condition of the child was r garded as dangerous by the parents she was quickly taken to® local ph. who refused to treat the case.

MARRIED AND DIED. Death Notice. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Margaret Luthy at an early hour this merning is the culmination of a very sad and touching stcry. The young woman was a bride, having been married only yesterday morning. Mr. John Luthy, the bereaved husband, is a young and popular clerk in the Post Office Department, and has also studied law, with the expectation of soon being admitted to practice. He is from Brooklyn, and was engaged to an attractive young woman of that city, Miss Margaret Davis. She was but twenty-four years of age, and. had a wide circle of friends. About ten days ago she came to Washington to stay over the inauguration, and Mr. Luthy en- gaged a room for her at 1106 Sth strect, not far from his own rooms at 515 L street. Four days ago she was taken seriously ill, and her mother was telegraphed for. The young woman's illness took the form of appendicitis, and yesterday morning the two physicians in attendance told her that there was no hope of her recovery. She was to have been married next September, ard when she realized that she must die she willingly accepted the suggestion that the wedding take place at once. Rev. 1. W..Canter, pastor cf the Mount Vernon M. E. Church, was summoned to the bedside, and the young ccuple were made one. Af- ter the marricge the young bride had a tal with the minister, which resulted in her being taken into the Methodist Church. The young husband was constant in his at- tention end devotion, but loving care could pot save her, and she paseed away short- ly after midnight. He Icft this afternoon to take the body back to Brooklyn, where the interment will take place. —_———._— AMUSEMENTS. A Lecture on Greece.—Prof. Daniel Quinn, LL.D., professor of Greek at the Catholic University, delivered a lecture on “TH Sun of Greece” at the Carroll Instituie Hall last night before an audience that completely filled the auditorium. The lec- ture was for the benefit of the Cretan in- surgents, and quite a sum was realized, which will be used in their ald. Prof. Quinn is an authority on Greek subjects of all classes and dealt with that interest- ing country from both an ancient and a modern standpoint. His lecture was il- lustrated with a series of splendid pictures, some of which were exceptionally good, 0 the historic buildings of Greece when her sun was highest. Dr. Quinn referred to the action of the powers in shelling the Christians who hed risen against their Moslem persecutors and showed plainly the bent ef his The lecturer s no one could think of modern Greece without also draw- ing ancient Greece into the consideration, and that the Greeks themselves regard arcient Greece one and ins ble from the modern state. The views included the Acropolis and Parthenon, both as they were and as restored. There were also views of staiesmen, warriors, famous buildings and maps. Prof. Quinn dwelt especially upon the heroic spectacle presented by the fact that a little,,almost invisible ‘corner of Europe,defied the whole of armed Europe in the patriotic determination to free Crete from Turkish rule and oppression.

The lecture before the National Geo- graphic Society tomorrow evening, at the church, corner of 10th and G streets, will be on mountaineering in the Tyrol and Switzerland, including an ascent of the Matterhorn, by Miss Annie 8. Peck, A.M., of Providence, R.

The lecture includes not only a description of the as- cent of the Matterhorn and of the glorious scenery around Zermatt, but takes the au- dience through the Tyrol also, whose pic- turesque regions charm the traveler per- haps more than the grander peaks of Switzerland. The lecture before the Geogranhic So- ciety by Miss Peck a few years ago on Athens (where she was a student in the American school of archaeology) is very pleasantly remembered by members of the society, who anticipate an even more de- lighttul evening with her this week. —_->__ A Valuable Reference Book.

HONORING HIS MEMORY. A Touching Story That Ended in a| Courts Take Action on the Death of Mr. JohniJ. Johnxon. The death last eyéning of Mr. John J. Johnson, one of the oldest and most highly Tespected membersiof the District bar, was suggested in the different branches of the District Supreme Court today, and when the various courts adjourned for the day @ memorandum wasentered upon the min- utes that they stdpi adjourned out of- re- spect to Mr. Johngon’s memory. President Henry E. Davis of the District Bar Asso- ciation has called a: meeting of the bar at noon tomorrow in:Criminal Court No. 2 to take appropriate action upon Mr. Johnsdn’s death. When the death of Mr. Johnson was sug- gested this morning,in Criminal Court No. 2 Judge Bradley spoke very feelingly of the dead attorney, paying a very high tribute to his memory as a man and a member of the bar. No more courteous or more kindly disposed man ever lived, said the judge, and never had he seen him ex- hibit in or out of court the least harsh- ness, anger or petty feeling. He was an able lawyer, and an upright, honest man, said Judge Bradley, and never neglected an opportunity to assist any one, being particularly kind and helpful to the younger members of the bar, as, said the judge, he could personally testify. ‘The death of Mr. Johnson, said Judge Bradley, Was a great shock, not only to him, but also to all who knew Mr. Johnson. He di- rected that when the court adjourn it be entered upon the minutes that it was ad- jcurned out of respect to Mr. Johnson's memcry. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Johnson's death in the other courts, similar remarks and orders were made by the respective presiding judges. age ee A BEAUTIFUL BADGE. Handsome Gift of W. R. C. and G. A.
