Burnett, George Chichester and Edward Jamerson, colored, were this morning held by the mayor for the Fairfax county authorities upon the charge of arson. Last night, as Sergt. James T. Smith was posting his squad for the night, he was met by George Chiches- ter, who told him that Burnett and Jamer- .scn had set fire to the stable of Constant Pcnneit in West End, about one-half mile scuthwest of this city, in Fairfax county. ‘The s-rgeant immediately began a search for Jamerson, and in a short while Succeed- ed in locating him. He placed him under arrest and locked him up at the station house. Sergt. Smith, accompanied by Chi- chester, proceeded to the scene of the fire, where he found everything as Chichester had described it. Upon returning to the sta- tion house, Jamerson made a full and com- piete confession, in which he said that #urnett, Chichester and himself yesterday afternoon went to the dyke, about three miles west of this city, on a fish fry. On the way they stopped at the home of Bur- nett’s father-in-law, Henry Englehart, just tke other side of Ponnett’s, to get some- thing to drink. While there Burnett had a fuss with Mr. Englehart. They then pro- ceeded to the dyke. While there, Burnett made the plan to burn Ponnett’s place, which adjoins that of his father-in-law’'s, and secured the services of Chichester and himself. ‘They then returned to Burnett's place, stone bridge, and shortly after 8 night they left there and went treck of the Southern Railway Waen they arrived near Pon- tt’'s place Burnett went to a railroad car and secured a lot of oily waste and gave ii to Chichester and himself. He described the route takea to reach the stable. The first match went out, he seid, and Chiches- t him another, and he lit that with better success, for in a second the whole place was ablaze. They were given a pre- 'minary examination before the mayor this morning, but owing to the stable be- ing situated in Fairfax county they wer h fer the Fairfax county authoriti Sergi.

Interest in the Lewin Case. A great deal of interest is being taken in this city in the case of James Lewis, who assaulted Mrs. Riedel on ‘Rose Hill” farm, five miles southwest of this city. All day ycs erday and late into the right the streets in and arodnd The Evening Star bureau were thronged with persons reading the bulletins from Fairfax Court House, which were received and displayed every jialf hour. While the, case.was-in progress gince early morning the crowd has been as great as that of yesterday, ard a great deal of strprise and indignation is openly express- ed at the two juries not being able to reach a decision. When the bulletin was posted this morning that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to lynch Lewis the excite- ment was intense. A large crowd has left here today to be in attendance on the third trial, which commenced at 2 o'clock today. The Star is being highly complimented on all sides for the manner in which it has given the public the.only reliable news di- rect from the court room. waste, Fires Yesterday. The fire department were kept quite busy yesterday responding to fire alarms, none ef which, however, did much damage. The first alarm was sounded at 12 o'clock and Was caused by the partial burning of a house on Henry sircet between Queen and Princess. The roof of this house was entire- ly burned off. The second alarm at 3:30 o'clock was caused by the burning of a stable in West End, belonging to Mr. C. W. Millen. This fire had gained such headway before the fire department arrived, how- ever, that it was entirely destroyed. Tne cepariment did splendid work in preventing the flames from spreading to the adjoining buildings. The third alarm at 9 o'clock last night was caused by the burning of the sta- ble of Constant Ponnett, which was only partially destroyed. Damage about $50. Corporation Court. The following business was transacted in the corporation court yesterday, Judge J.K. M. Norton presiding: ig Administration upon the estate of the late W. H. Laycock was granted to W. O. Laycock. Administration on the estate of Clem Dorsey, colored, who committed suicide in this city a shert while ago, an account of which appeared in The Star, was granted to R. H. Lyles, colored. Three liquor licenses were granted. Met With Little or No Success, As stated, Col. G. Percy Hawes and Mr. Brown, his" stenographer, reached this city Monday night for the purpose of investi- gating Thursday night's lynching. He was sent here by Gov. O’Ferrall. The colonel had interviews with Mayor Thompson, the heads of the police department, Common- wealth’s Attorncy Marbury and others. Nothing further than wnat has already been published was obtained. It is said that he became thoroughly convinced that he would be unable to obtain any further information than that already published, and that he has gone back to Richmond. Died at the Infirmary. Henry Brown, a weil-known old colored man, died at the Alexandria Infirmary last night. He was found at his home on North St. Asaph street yesterday afternoon, about 3:30 o'clock, in an unconscious condition. The police were notified, and they in turn notified Dr. Julian Miller, who had him re- moved to the infirmary. It is thought that Brown received a stroke of paralysis, al- though the doctors were unable to say what was the matter with him. He never regained consciousness from the time he was found until he died. __ Don't miss our special rose sale at Ma- sonic Temple flower store.—Advt. = ee All Roses, Without Reserve, 25 cents per dozen, at retail only.

Mr. Parker is said to have provided them with roles which fit without a wrinkle, and a smooth- ness pervades the entire performance which cannot fail to satisfy the most critical ob- server. The quaintness of the various scenes, the local color admirably depicted in both dialogue and acticn and the fluency and force of the writing make “The May- flower” a play of more than ordinary charm. It tells a pretty story, picturesque and graceful, which begins in Holland, shifts to England and concludes in the Pil- grim settlement on the shores of Massa- chusetts bay, near Plymouth Rock. Roger Mallory has been exiled from England on account of his writings. He takes up his residence in Amsterdam, Holland, with his daughter, Joan, and his niece, Cicely. There to their home came Lord Gervase Carew and his friend, Jack Poynirtg: The for- mer, masquerading under the rame of Hen- ry Butler, has fallen in lcve with Joan, and she with him When old Mallory learns that the lover is the son of the man who has banished him he orders him hence and decides to emigrate to America. Prior to the d:p rture of the Mayflower Carew secks out Joan and persuades her to elope with him. Just as the ship is about to sail Mal- lery learns of his daughter's flight, and curses Carew. During his tirade, Poynings, who has pursued the elopers and wounded Carew, returns with Joan in his arms, and the pilgrims prepare for their departure. In the third act the litle band of emi- grants have just passed through a winter ot privation and distress. Preparations are making for the wedding of Cicely and the young and volatile Dutch mapmaker, Will- em Hundius. Joan’s eyes are forever turn- ed toward England. The hardships of the little colony during the winter are as noth- ing to what she endures in her unceasing affection for the man whom she believes loved her truly. The members of Mr. Froh- man’s stock company who will be seen in the play are Messrs, Hackett, Morgan, Wal- cot, Morris, Joseph Wheelock, jr., R. P. Carter, Brandon J. Tynan, and Misses Mai nering, Tyree, Walcot, Root and Mrs.Whif- fen. The same scenery, costumes and stage settings used at the Lyceum Theater, New York, will be seen here. The first per- formance of “The Mayflower’ will be given at the Thursday matinee, and will be re- peated Friday and Saturday evenings, many letters having been received by the man- agement requesting more than one perform- ance of this particular play. STUART ROBSON.—Commencing Mon- gay, May 10, the New National will have for its attraction Stuart Robson in his latest comedy success “The Jucklins.” Mr. Robson's previous work and visits to this city has so endeared him to the Washing- ton public that comment is umnec : In “The Jucklins” Mr. Robson has oppo’ tunities to give full scone to his peculiar humor, besides portraying that delicate pathos of which he is the master. The cx- cellent company in support have parts especially fitted for their respective lines. CALVE IN CONCERT.—The sale of seats for Calve opens tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, at the box office, Columbia Thea- ter, and judging by the inquiries the house will be sold out the first day. This is the only time that Calve has made a tour out- side of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Calve has been very exclusive about sing. ing outside of the opera at any price, and it is stated on authority that she refused $5,000 for a private concert from one of New York's wealthy ladies. From season to season her popularity has increased, un- til now her services are considered desira- ble at even enormous prices. Calve in Carmen or Cavalleria has been an _an- nouncement sufficient to fill the great Met- ropoljtan Opera House repeatedly, and the year that the management thought that they could get along without her was a siow time, for in spite of the most strenu- cus efforts the public refused to be satis- fied with any singer but Calve. About the time that it began to be said by the parti- Sans of other prominent singers that Calve could act to a phenomenai extent,, aside from her acting, it was noted that the gifted actress was also a charming singer. At the farewell performance of the opera company, in both New York and Boston, the pasi two seasons, it has been hard werk to get the audience to leave. She will be assisted in her coming concert by Mr. J. H. McKinley, tenor: Sig. Campanari, RIES, and the Boston Festival Orches- ra. “FABIO ROMANIO.”—At. the Grand next week the management have secured a first-class attraction in Aiden Benedict's “Fabio Romanio,” a romantic spectacular dramatization of Marie Correlli's novel, “The Vendetta.” The play will be ple- turesquely staged, the company carrying all their own scenery, and the interest is materially added to by the introduction by Miss Grace Hunter of serpentine, stere- epticon, fire and Spanish dances. The story of the play is known to the reading public as a most thrilling and gruesome tale of Italian love and vengeance, with a mul- Uplicity of dramatic situations to add to the vigor of the side lights and hérrors. The Benedict company presents its strong points in a telling way, and Messrs. Bene- dict and Bowman and Miss Olive West are successful in giving force and expression to the leading personages in the story. The wonderful dancing of Miss Grace Hunter in her great fire, serpentine, stereopticon and Spanish dances will be one of the strong and delightful features of the per- formances. HANDEL AND HIS ORATORIOS.— “Handel and His Oratorios” was the sub- Ject of a lecture given last evening by Mrs. E. C. Sloan at the Church of Our Father. Mrs. Sloan gave her hearers an insight into the life and surroundings of the great composer, fllustrating her lecture by lan- tern slides. The rendition of the musica: portion of this artistic entertainment’ re- flected much credit on Miss Elsa Ulke and Miss Marshall, pianist; Miss Eseman and Miss Cowling, first violins; Mr. Glick and Col. Burbridge, second viclins; Miss Weser and Miss Anna Ulke, ’cellos, Mr. Exles, flutist; Mr. Ernest ‘Lent, soloist; Mr. Pfeiffer, ‘celloist; accompanists, Miss Flor- ence King, violinist; Mr. Rakemann, violin- ist; Mr. Lovey, violinist; Mrs. Hempstone, contralto; Miss Hall, soprano, and Miss Louise Vale, Mr. Leiter and’ Mr. Julius Utke, accompanists. THE CUMMINGS STOCK COMPANY.— The regular season at the Academy will close Saturday night with the engagement of “A Trip to Chinatown.” The house will remain closed for a week in order to put it in condition for the heated term, reopening for the summier season Monday, May 10, with the Cummings Stock Company, an or- ganization said to be capable of giving ex- cellent performances of standard plays and comedies. The regular summer prices wiil prevail during this engagement, 25 and 50 cents for reserved seats, 25 cents general admission to all parts of the house, boxes seating six $3.

BRONISLAW HUBERMAN.—When the great compcser and artist, Rubinstein, heard ‘the boy violinist, Bronislaw Huber- man, in Berlin, in 1892, he spoke hunscif as follows: “A ‘genius only could play like that.” Such was the verdict of those who heard him Sunday night, when he made his public Washington debut, and many were the words of praise bestowed], upon the young artist, and the wish was expressed that he would soon be heard again. To gratify the many friends he made at his first appearance, and to give those who did not hear him an opportunity, Hubermaa will give a farewell matinee at the Colum- bia Theater, Monday, May 3, at 4:15 p.m. He will play the Goldmark concerto, “Ro- manze of Raff,” and the Bizet-Sarasate, “Carmen” fartasle. “FAUST."—The opera to be presented by the Castle Square Opera Company at the Lafayette Square Opera House next week will be Gounod’s ever popular “Faust.” The gulf between the “Queen's Lace Hand- kerchief” and “Faust” is a wide one, but the resources of the Castle Square Com- pany are so great that it can be easily bridged, and tho performence cf grand cp-ra will be as effectively. sung and acted as has been the composition of Strauss, The cast will be in every way competent, and the &reat chorus will be found thoroughly effi- cient. The production will be an elaborate ore, with scenery and stage effects such as lave never before been seen in this opera. The spectacular features will include me- chanieal and electrical effects that will add to the impressiveness “of the interpretation of Goethe's story, while Gounod’s magnifi- cent music will be sung in a fitting man- ner. “Faust? has always been a favorite opera in this city. and its presentation in such a style of lavish richness as is prom- ised, both as to vocal and stage effects, at the cheap prices that now prevail, should crowd the house at every performance. In fact, when the sale of seats opens tomor- rew the desire to hear this opera should be SO great as to practically have the whole house secured for the entire week before the curtain rises next Monday night. “GEORGE ELIOT'S LOVERS.”—Col. Richard Malcolm Johnston, the popular southern writer, will deliver a lecture on “George Eliot's luavers” in the hall of the Luther Memorial! Church next Friday evening, the proceeds for the benefit of the Home for Incurables. There will also be a violin concert-by Fraulein Koehle and her pupils.

The atteation of Judge Mills was occu- pied for more than an hour today in the Police Court by the first case called, a charge of colliding, the defendant being Charles Cook, a.coachman in the employ of a prominent resident of the West End. The collision occurred April 5 last near the corner of 17th and I streets, attracted a very large crowd and caused considerable excitement, as it was reported that a lady who had been riding in one of the vehicles was dying from injuries received in the ac- cident. According to the testimony, Mr. Henry Arnold, his wife and stepdaughter, Miss Mabel Shekelis, of 638 East Capitol street, were riding in a surrey along I street to- ward 17th street. A brougham, driven by Charles Cook, with Chariés Shreeve as foctman, turned into I street from 17th street. Mr. Arnold and his party claimed that Cook deliberately, or through gross carelessness, collided with their vehicl badiy injuring it. Miss Shekells, who was recovering from a severe illness, was pros- trated, so it was alleged, by the excitement, and is now ill as one of the consequences of the occurrence. The defense set forth that Cook turnea into. I street to avoid being struck by an electric car, the collisfon with Mr. Arnold’s surrey being unavoidable, and not due to carelessness. “The maximum penalty for this misde- meanor,” said Judge Mills, in disposing of the case, “is $40, and the minimum penaity is $5. I think this Is a case of excessive carelessness, and it is the duty of the couri to impose the highest fine. Forty dollars.” That sum was paid. —_—--—__ The Finest Lumber, $1.00 Per 100 Ft.
