Reception to a Well-Known Minister— A Fireman and a Policeman Sustain Painful Injurics. Mr. P. E. Dyer of 34th and N streets died late yesterday afternoon at Garfield Hespital, and the news reaching this place soon afterward caused grief to his many friends. The young man had been sick but a few weeks, suffering from an attack of spinal meningitis, caused by overwork and insomnia. His filness assumed such a serious form that he was removed to the hospital, where he could have the constant care of skilled physicians, though for some days past his condition was regarded as critical. The deceased was about twenty- six years of age. Last ycar he graduated at Georgetown University with honors, af- ter having gone through the course. He was a skilled mathematician and was for ‘ome time employed in the Nautical Al- merac ofilce, abandoning the position to continue his studies. Since he graduated he accepted a position at the naval ob- servatory. The habit of his school life of studying until late at-night left him with insomuia, and eventually produced the dis- ease which caused his death. He enjoyed a large circle of acquaintances. Miss Harriet Shoemaker, member of a well-known county family, died Tuesday evering at her residence beyond Terley- town. She was sixty-two years of age. The funeral services will be held at her late residence, tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, after which the remains will be interred i Oak Hill cemetery. Reception to a Popular Minister. Rev. John W. Beall, who has been re- turned for another year to the West Wash- ington Mission by the M. E. conference (south), recently convened at Staunton, Va., was tendered a reception Tuesday evening. Mr. R. Bryan, on behalf of the members, delivered an address of wel- ccme, to which the pastor replied with much feeling, assuring the congregation of his appreciation of the evidence of taeir love and co-operation, after which all were invited to partake of refreshments. ‘The mission is a branch of Mount Vernon Church, Washington, and has only been in existence two years, having been or- ganized by Captain Oliver P. Johnson and Dr. Isaac W. Canter, former pastor of Mount Vernon, and now presiding elder of one of the Baltimore districts. Rev. Mr. Beall, the pastor, is a young man of ability, and during his short pas- terate has succeeded in building up a flour- ishing congregatioi Those who assisted in making the occasion enjoyable were Mrs. Oliver P. Johnson, Mrs. R. Bryan, Mrs. Nawls, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Stulling, Mrs. James H. Beall, Misses Lizzie Gcaves, Gertrude Athey, Nellie Vinson and Nellie Moore. Damages Claimed. A suit has been filed by Mrs. Eugenia A. Peterson, the mother of Edmund F. Petersen, a twelve year old boy, who jump- ed from the trestle of the Great Falls electric road last October, breaking his leg and otherwise injuring himseif, claim- ing damages to the amount of $5,000. ‘The story of the affair was published in The Star at the time. The boy with several others was walking, it is claimed, across the trestle, when a car appeared at cne end, going at a good speed. ‘The youth became scared and jump2d to the ground, a distance of about twenty-tive feet, and was picked up unconscious. As a result of his injuries he was under the care of the doctor for several months. The railroad company claimed to be not responsible the accident. as the trestles are owned them. and pedestrians have no right use them. W: are posted y to ing notices to this effect 1 along the Iine of the road. Slid Dawn and Broke His Leg. Mosby Brown, a member cf No. 5 engine company, met with a bad icziJent Tuesday evening, which will keep him off duty for some time. He was chowing a visitor through the engine house, and gave an exhibition of how the members of the company slid down the pole when respond- Ing to an alarm during the night. In slid- ing down he landed on his foot in such a way that the weight of his body coming on top was sufficient to break the leg. The broken bone was set, and the injured man removed to his home. Prices of Live Stock. At the Arlington stock yards Monday some few cattle were placed on sale at the following prices: Best, 4 and 41-4 cents per pound: good, 33-4 and 4 cents; medium, 2 and 33-4 cents; common, 2 and 3 certs. There were 18% sheep, lambs and caivcs sold at the following quotations: Sheep, 21-2 and 4 cents per pound; spring lambs, and 10 cents per pound; calves, 5 and cents. One hundred and eight hogs were sold at from 42-5 :0 1-2. Twenty- seven cows, with calves, went from $18 to $45 per head. The state of the murket was good. One Result of Brenking a Colt. Policeman Hileary Smith, while off duty yesterday afternoon, was at the home of Mr. Deatson, near Tenleytown, endeavor- ing to break in a colt. The anima! was nervous, and kicked and rearel around, and in attempting to subdue the beast the animal fell, landing on top of Policeman Smith and breaking his arm. The bone set afterward. The policeman will be off duty for some days. “Red Bill” Convicted. Policeman Maher secured a conviction in the Police Court yesterday afternoon of William Pope and John Jackson, otherwise known as “Red Bill," both of whom as- faulted him, as stated in The Star vester- day. A fine of $10 or thirty days in jail was imposed on each. The other two rges of assault preferred against Pope y Carrie Butler and Augustus Coats were both dismissed, the plaintiffs being atraid to prosecute the man. General Notes.

The Commissioners have appointed Mrs. Thomas W. Smith a member of the ceniral relief committee, vice Mrs. Miranda Tul- kek, resigned. Bill Disputed. Some time ago the Commissioners were surprised to recefve a bill for several hun- dred dollars from the Potomac Electr! Company for laying a cable used in con- necting fire alarm boxes on the south side of Lafayette Park The superintendent of the District fire alarm and police telephone service reports to the Commiss‘oners that it was understood that this cable was to be furnished and laid at the expense of the company, and ends his indcrsement of the bill by the following language: “You will remember that I stated to the officers of that company in your presence that we had no money to pay for such experiments and that the sald officers then and there agreed to furnish the necessery cable at their own cost.” A copy of this report was sent to the officers of the cempany by the Commis- sioners today.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—Mr. John Hare and his delightful company made a change of bill again at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night, putting on “A Pair of Spectacles,” one of the best pieces in his present repertoire. The prin- cipal play of the evening was preceded by @ one-act curtain-raiser, entitled “When George IV Was King,” in which Charlea Groves, Gilbert Hare, Frank Gilmore and Miss Mena K. Oram were acceptable. “A Pair of Spectacles” is a clean, wholesome comedy that is known ‘@ Washington thea- tergoers, and in which Mr. Hare is brought forward to the extent that his friends wish. His interpretation of the part of Benjamin Goldfinch leads one to believe that it is his most pleasing part, {f not his best. ‘‘Caste” will be given tonight, while “A Pair of Spectacles” will be repeated tomorrow night. Teresa Carreno.—Madame Carreno’s piano recital at the Columbia Theater tomorrow afternoon, at 4:15 o'clock, promises to bring out a full attendance of Washington musi- cians and music lovers,as well as those wha are votaries of the fad of good music. It is seldom the case that an artist who comes to this city merely #s a talented per- forme, or even heralded as posessing the highest ability, attracts so much favorable comment and so much notice as Carreno has done. Upon her recent visit here with the Boston Symphony Orchestra her won- derful work was manifested to all, and she was immediately seized upon as worthy of the most favorable criticism. It is safe to predict that all of those who heard her at that time will be her auditors again to- morrow afternoon, while their praises of her work will have the effect of crowding the Columbia with an eager throng of true music lovers. German Dramatic Club.—The German Dramatic Club will give its annual benefit performance at Carroll Institute Hall to- morrow evening. ‘The German Dramatic Club is cne of the foremost organizations of the kind in the city, and has always enjoyed a most enviable reputation for its work. In past years it has achieved suc- cess after success in Iramatic art, and it is prepared to keep up its record at the performance tomorrow night. Two come- ¢ies and one drama will be put on. “Quintus Horatius Flaccus,” a comedy in one act, the direction of Mr. Theodore Friebus, jr., well and favcrably known in local dramatic circles; “Comedy ard Tragedy, a drama in one act, will be given under the direction uf Miss Anita Schade, no less favorably know “Die Frau Kaffeesiederin,” ‘a one-act comedy, will be given under the direction of Mrs. Emma Poesche. The club has been faith- fully working over the presentation of these works, and an extremely enjoyable evening is anticipated by thos? who ex- pect to attend. Ben Hur.—There was a large audience as- sembled at Concordia Church, 30th and G streets, evening to hear Dr. Thos. J. Jones Geiiver his beautiful lecture on the famous story of “Ben Hur,” accompanied hy fine stereoptivon slides, which met with well-earned appreciation from the large gathering. Miss Emily Sauter rendered most beautifully the “Chariot Race,” giving it with powerful dramatic effect. "Miss Louise Moeller added much by her singing of “The Holy Night.” A solo was also given at the close with exquisite rendering. es DELINQUENT TAXES. Selling Off Property at the District Building. The annval sale of property for delin- quent taxes is in progress at the District building. The sale started yesterday morn- ing promptly at 10 o'clock, and all property upon which taxes had not been paid em- braced in squares 1 to 500, inclusive, was offered for sale. This morning promptly at 9 o'clock Deputy Collector Collins resumed the sale, and disposed of the next 500 squares, Owing to the extensive advertisement the sale received this year, the advertisement having been published in The Star and the Post, the bidding was brisk, and Collector Davis remarked that thus far it beat the record. There are constantly a number of bidders on hand, and oftentimes there is brisk competition for certain property. When there is no bid the District becom. the owner of the property. The sale will continue throughout the week, or until all the property is sold. ———— In Beauty's Behatt.

Judge Miller committed him to jail in default of $1,000 security to await the ac- tion of the grand jury. Before being taken to court Hall was recelved as a guest at police headquarters, where he displayed very little evidence of having jumped from a third-story window to an areaway. His arm was sprained and he complained of a shght pain in one leg, but this pain did not interfere with his walking. Three weeks ago Hall returned from the Albany Penitentiary, where he had served a term of eight years for a burglary committed here. Today he was wearing the suit fur- nished him when he was released from the New York prison.

Dealers in the Center Market are denying the statements that woodcock are being ex- pesed for sale on their benches in violation of law. One of the dealers told a Star re- porter this morning that the season for wocdcock closed on the Ist of last month. Since then, he said, not more than a dozen of the birds had come in his possession, and he had received them from a commis- sion merchant. There are plenty of snipe on the market, he said, but they are in season. A great many buyers, he said, see these birds and think they are woodcock. ‘The dealers, he said, are as much in favor of protecting these birds as are the mem- bers of the Game and Fish Protective Asso- ciation, and they (the dealers) are discour- aging the killing of the birds. So fer as the so-called “pot hunters’ are concerned, he said, almost all of them in this section are in the fish busjness down the river, and are, therefore, nét even looking for woodcock or any other firds. Grouse and quail from the west, he remarked, are being sold and will continue to\be sold so Jong as the decision of Judge Miller stands. He repeated that the dealers are in favor of protecting the woodcock and wiN do all in thelr*power to assist the members of the association. ——.

The mail fromyNew Berne, N. C., this morning brought a new page of the history of the great raid of tar heel republicans on the docal office-pf recorder of deeds. The latest contribution to: the record was a letter to The Star from Candidate John C. Dancy of Salisbury, N. C., in. which he brought arguments of a certain sort to bear on the vague claims and charges of Candidate Isaac H. Smith of New Berne, N. €., who hinted that Candidate Dancy was not a genuine McKinley man, while he posed conspicuously as ‘The Original Mc- Kinley Man.” Candidate Smith now te- turns the fire, under the following atten- tlon-captivating heading: ‘“‘Rejoinder to Mr. Dancy’s Evasive Reply: Since His Reply to My Important Questions in The Star Was Evasive, Likewise Is My Re- joinder Evasive.” Then, ‘to whom is may concern,” follows the subjoined remark- able deliverance, which is presented ver- batim, as a means of casting light upon the nature of the talents that have aspired to the position of recorder of deeds. Candi- date Smith writes thus: Mr. Smith’s Rejoinder. “Mr. Dancy, if you know, give the As- sociated Press the names of the four who traveled this country over on a free 1,000- mile ticket to make-a sentiment against the present prospective administration during the early part of the last campaign. Did not one of the four live in North Carolina? Give the names of that man who did all he could to cut the political throat of the head of the present administration, and is now making more noise and asking the ad- ministration more favors than all its origi- nal friends in this country. Throw light on this point, since the election democratic papers have said more in your favor to be recorder than they have said in favor of the President of the United States. Rev. R. H. W. Leak of Raleigh, N. C., is whai I cali an honest man. He was an anti to the present prospective administration, and now he is not trying to cut a fellow out of what belongs to him by honestly asking this administration for anything. Honesty. “An honest main is honest in politics, and he is just as honest as his heart is pure and spotless. “If it be the sentiment, then it is a als honest sentiment to favor giving the fodder to the horse that didn't pull the plow. “You say in your reply that the senator and the three representatives of North Carolina are among your indorsers, ete. Your statement may or may not be cor- rect, but at any rate honesty ‘does not nor can it indorse you over one who worked many a night until 4 a.m. for the suce: of the present administration. I supp: this country understands 1 am a succ business man, and I am not an office ful eek- er, and have visible means of support. It is May, 1808, before Mr. C. H. J. Taylor's term expires. Let us wait on fate. Mr. Dancy tell the Press who wrote ninet letters to each republican county chs in Nerth Carolina, secking to make ment favorablé to the head of the pre administration early in the last cam; at his own cxppnse. You isn, made a few speeches after the die was: cast, but I am teld that you did)not make them at your expense. [ell the Press I spent more of my own money and consumed more of my own thine during=th: last campaign than any. one man in/North Carolina. Dark Hints. “You arc entirely mistaken when you say the state was d McKinley state anyhow. It was a McKinley state after Senator J. C. Pritchard had worked and toiled day and night. I feel mow as I-felt then: May God bless the senator for his great political work in the interest of the present, admin- istration. er “Did you. know. Ihaveva Kiter offering me an office early. in the campaign a bait to go against the head of the present administration? Since I declined this, how can an honest, original McKiniey mean op- pese me for any office under this admin- istration? “A man who will use means on a godly man and succeeded in getting him to do a black, sinful act in belying his word, in- dorsing two men for the same office, 15 un- fit to hold any office.” Future Developments Awaited. Candidate Smith signs himself, as usual, “The Original McKinley Man.” The po- itical world will doubtless pause with bated breath for the disclosure uf the awful facts hinted at in his concluding paragraph, the plainest meaning of which cannot be otherwise than that Candidate Dancy managed in the confusioa of the campaign and the excitement of congraty- lating the nominee to get his wires crossei in adding his influential name to th- cation papers of aspiring North C lans. These developments will be awaited with interest. _—— Saul's sale plants, Williams. & Co.’s auc- tion rooms, corner 10th and Penn. ave., to- morrow, 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.—Advt. ——_—_ Boards, 12-in., le. per foot. 6th & N. —Advertisement. —___ Were Well Known.

It is a weil-known fact that the majority of waters on the market are shipped in barrels, kegs or carboys. Waters should never be handledin such containers, as they will most undoubt= deteriorate. edl ampole’s Elk Lithia is bottled at the spring only. It is hermetically sealed under water, so, therefore, you will get the water in just as fresh a state as you would should you go to the spring to drink it. Itis a medicine. We ask you to compare it in appearance and medicinal virtue to other mineral waters. At druggists. DEWITT W. MERTZ, - Manager, 613 15th st. Opp. U. 8. Treasury.
