Avenue. ap?-a,t,th-28 ‘Why pat The past week has ushered in the spring season with considerable snap and go. The continued cool weather has naturally had a deterring effect on suburban enjoy- ments, but the Ffoulke dinner and dance at Chevy Chase was all the more delight- ful because of its novelty. The usual pro- cedure of dinners and house dances has one on with the easy continuity of a win- ter program, and most of the hostesses who pay special attention to young ccm- panies have not failed in this regard. The weddings bave given opportunities for unusually pleasant mid-day gatherings, and the engagements announced, that of Miss Cameron and Mr. Hale, the early part of next week, and Miss Parke and Mr. G. H. Richards of New York, yesterday have caused a revival of Pleasant speculation as to what may be heard of next in this particular. Only those who contemplate European trips are much to the fore in talking of their summer plans. The spring season is usually quite as pleasant, if not more so, around Washington than at any other point, and in consequence even those who can do so are loath to leave until the real warm. weather compels a change. The diplomats will be with us very late this season, owing to the new administra- tien and the session of Congress, and it is safe to say that the residents who may flatter themselves as heing important mem- bers of the foreign set will not place them- selves at any great distance from the foun- tain head of «njoyment. t is understood that those fortunate residents who have country places near by will keep up a con- stant plan of hospitality, all evolved to keep each other and town friends well en- tertained. “Clifton,” Ambassador and Mrs. Patenotre’s fine home, has been occupied by them the past fortnight, and if there were more such desirable estates near tewn fer rent, there would be plenty to take them. Mrs. Townsend will not move out to Woodley until the middie of May, and in the meanwhile the house is in the hands of decorators, etc., until by the time she takes possession it will be a thorough- ly new place. Mrs. Townsend will keep Woodley open until the weather is suitable for the enjoyment of her place at Bar Har- bor, which will probably be about the mid- dle of June. The Austrian-Hungarian legation was the scene of a brilliant gathering last night, when a company of great social distinction enjoyed the hospitality of the minister and Mrs. von Hengelmuller and a magnificent treat in listening to the youthful but cele- brated Hungarian violinist, Master Brownis- law Huberman. The hostess, elegantly gowned in green moire, covered with silver- embroidered gauze, and*wearing superb em- eralds and pearls, received the guests with the minister. The guests completely filled the drawing rooms and hall. The young artist who so completely enthralled the audience by his music, had an elevated position on a platform in the drawing rcom. After his violin solos, the gifted boy sang Polish songs with great success. Af- ter the feast of music, supper was served. The dining room was eiaborately adorned with flowers and the Austrian colors. Yel- low and black ribbons reached down from the chandelier to the corners of the table. The silver service came to the hostess from her mother, the Countess Borkowska. American Beauty roses filled the vases in the epergne, and large silver vases were similarly adorned at either end of the spread. Among ihe guests were most of the members of the diplomatic corps, the cabinet and families and many prominent in social aud resident circles. Mr. and Mrs. Brice gave a dinner last night, at which the guests were the Span- ish minister, Senator and Mre. Wolcott, Miss Brice, Mr. Saville Clayten Mander, Miss Jean Struthers, Mr. Joostens, Miss Kate Brice, r. Cousins, Miss. Wetmore, ir. T. Sanford Beatty, Mr. ard Mra. Rich- ard Townsend, Prof. Alexander Agassiz, Mrs. Howland, Miss Lovering, Miss Ca eron, Baren von Hermann, Mr. Bax Iro: sides. Mr. John Brice, Lieut. Thomas Rodg- ers, Miss Warder, Miss Belknap, Miss Wal- loch, Representative Adams, Representa- tive Simpkins and Miss Simpkins. Gen. and Mrs. Batcheller entertained at dinner last night in honor of the ambassa- cor to Germany and Mrs. Andrew D. White. The guests were Secretary and Mrs. Sherman, Ambassador and Baroness yon Thielman, Representative and Mrs. Hitt, Mr. and Mrs. J. Addison Porter, Rep- resentative Littner and Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Granger entertained at dinner last night. There were covers laid for twelve guests. Apropos of the closed-up and deserted appearance of the old Bancroft house on i street, another landmark closely identi- fied with the venerable historian is about to be demolished. His Newport hom which is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. He: man Oelrichs, will shortly be torn down and in its place a modern summer palace for its wealthy possessors will be erected. It is situated on the cliffs and in full view of the sea. Mrs. Charles Rohifs (Annie Katharine Green) will receive on Monday, athe res- idence of Mrs. Lander, 45 B street south- east. : Miss Susie Laing celebrated her sixteenth birthday anniversary last evening at the home of her parents, No. 14 K street north- east. The evening was pleasantly passed with games, recitations and songs. Re- freshments were then served. Among those present were the Misses Susie and Bstel Laing, Mable Edelin, Reba Fisher, Elsie Lewis, Lillian Hering, Mable Haskins, Mamie Shahay, Grace McEifresh and Ethel Stocker, ard the young beaus were per- sonated by Messrs. Sacket Duryea, Willie att, John Rice, Fred Schwarb, Joseph Milburn, Ralph Emerson, Ralph’ Stocker and Horace Porter. The races this week have formed an out- let for fashionable enthusiasm, and race dinners and luncheons a new reason for entertaining. Secretary Sherman's seventy-fourth birthday comes on May 10. The probabil- ities are that it will be marked by a recep- tion at his residence, but no invitations have yet been sent out. The Mirth Club gave its third evening at home Easter Monday night at the resi- dence of the presicer?. Quite a large num- ber of tts members and friends enjoyed the dancing until a late hour.

Stanton entertained the bowlers of the Carroll Institute second team, who won the championship of the second team league, at a banquet at his residence, No. 504 L street northeast, Thursday evening.

Howard Ward, the young colored man who was arrested in Pittsburg a month ago, when about $500 worth of stolen jewelry was found on him, as published in. yesterday's Star, was brought here this morning, and is in custody. As published in yesterday's Star, Chief Lioyd of the Baltimore and Ohio detective corps and Detective Lacy went to Pitts- burg to get the prisoner. It now appears that Ward belongs near Selma, Ohio, where he lived on a farm with his parents, and, although Detective Lacy had fully identi- fied him as “Yellow Hobo,” he turns out to be an entirely different man. Accord- ing to his statement, his parents are well known in the neighborhood of Selma, and, although he says they are not suffering for want of this world’s goods, his appear. ance was that of a tramp, and he admit- ted that he had been on the npad before he came here, the day before President Mc- Kinley’s inauguration. In Pittsburg he went wanted a loan of & on a ring. The pawn- broker pressed the button and Detectives McKelvey and McQuiade soon had him in custody. Having so many valuables on him, he did not want for friends, and an attorney had prepared papers for a writ of replevin, when Mrs. Buck, the owner of the goods, reached there from Philade!: phia and {dentified her property. After the identification the prisoner said the jewelry was given to him by a white tramp, whom he met on the road between Scranton and Harrisburg. He admitted, however, that he was in the city at the time the robbery was committed. The officers left here at 10 o'clock yes- terday and returned about 6 o'clock this morning. When theyreached the station this morning. Chief Lioyd, turning to the pris- oner, asked where the car was standing when he got the jewelry, and the prisoner, who was taken by surprise, responded: “I don't know exactly, because I was all turned around.” Then he seemed to real- ize that he had made a mistake, and man- aged to hold his tongue. The larceny of this jewelry was the only com mitted on the Baltimore and Ohio cars during the inauguration, and every piece of it, with the exception of a cheap ring, was recovered. Ward was photographed for the gallery today, and was locked up for a hearing next week. in a pawnshop and Martyn College.

Dyatt, surviving partners of Willian, Campbell & Co., and the National Wall Paper Com- pany, all of New York, today filed a bill in equity against Thos. H. Pickford and James R. Gillette, praying that Pickford, as assignee of Gillette, be required to ren- der an accounting, and that a receiver be appointed to take possession of the said Gillette's property, and administer and ex- ecute the assignment, under the direction of the court. The assignment was made by Gillette, engaged in the wall paper busi- ness at 733 9th street, July 3, 1806, the complainants being creditors of his. They are represented by Attorney Chapin Brown. ee é Fatal Accident. William Pearson, a colored laborer, who lived at 2024 E street northwest, met with a fatal accident about W o'clock this morning, while working in a gravel pit near Ist and W streets northwest. The un- fortunate man was about twenty-six years old, and had been working where he was killed for several days. This morning he left home as usual, and members of his family were shocked when they received the news that he had been injured. Before they were able to reach the hospital he died. The hospital ambulance made a quick trip to the scene of the fatal acci- dent in an effort to save the man’s life. Pearson was werking in the pit when the bank above him fell and almost completely buried him. He was gotten out as soon as possible, but he had been so badly crushed that he lived only about an hour. Coroner Hammett was notified of the affair soon after the man’s death, and will make an investigation. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Charles G.
