Commander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker, the leaders of the Salvation Army in the United States, are coming to Washington, and will hoid meetings in the Congregational Church, 10th and G streets, next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and in the Church of the Covenant, 18th and N streets, Sun- Gay evening at 8 o'clock. They will also speak at Salvation Army Hall, 930 Penn- Sylvania avenue, next Monday evening. Commander Booth-Tucker established his reputation as an eloquent and interesting speaker in Washington at the interna- tional Christian Endeavor convention last summer, and Mrs. Booth-Tucker made a marked impression on the audiences which heard her speak during a visit she made here last fall. It will be remembered Mr: be that in January Ss. Booth-Tucker, assisted by her hus- d, held a remarkable drawing room ing at the residence of ex-Secretary Foster, which was attended by the leaders of Washington society. On that occasion Mrs. Booth-Tucker had her hearers alternately in smiles and tears, under the spell-of her eloquent description of her experiences in the world-wide work of the Salvation Army. Commander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker are returning to Washington to hold public meetings, in accordance with a desire gen- erally expressed then that they should do so. They will be accompanied by Brigadier Alice Lewis, Adjutant Ed Taylor, “the goiden minstrel,” and other prominent offi- cers of the army, who will assist in their meetings. The party will arrive Saturday. et Mrs. Rhinehart, the famous lady century cycilst, is riding the well-xnowa O:ive wheel. —Advertisement. THE EVENING STAR. MONDAY, MAY. 24, 1897-14 PAGES. McELHONE SENTENCED Gets Of With the Imposition of « Fine. Motion for a New Trial Withdrawn— Turner's Trial and Another Indictment Possible. Philip McEIhone, who was convicted be- fore Judge Bradley in Criminal Court, No. 2 the 30th of last month of taking and carrying away from the Congressional Li- brary certain historical papers, comprising part of the Peter Force collection, with- drew this morning his motion for a new trial and in arrest of judgment, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $200. The young man was taken at once by a bailiff to the marshal’s office. There the fine was paid and he was discharged from custody. McEthone was jointly indicted with Lew- is McKenzie Turner, who was a fellow employe of his in the Congressional Li- brary, three indictments being returned against them. A separate trial was de- martied and granted, and among the wit- nesses for the government was Turner, who acknowledged his gulit and testified that McElhone was equally guilty. A very damaging feature of the case for McEl- hone was a number of letters written by “him to certain dealers in New York and Philadelphia, relative to the purchase by them of historical papers. They were read to the jury with telling effect by District Attcrncy Davis. McElhone contended at the trial that he was not aware that the stelen papers belonged to the Congres- sioral Library or that they had been stolen. As to two of the indictments Judge Bred- iey directed a verdict of not guilty, a ver- dict of guilty being returned on but two of the counts in the remaining indictment, a verdict of not guilty being ordered by the court on those charging that McElhone stele the papers. The penalty provided for the offense is a fine not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding five years, or both, in the discretion of the court. Immediately after McElhene* was con- victed Judge Bradley released him on bail to appear for sentence. When the case was called up this morning, the convicted man being accompanied to court by his brothers and father-in-law, Mr. Chas. A. Douglass of his counsel stated to Judge Bradley that he had decided to withdraw the motions for a new trial and in arrest of judgment, and submit to sentence. Mr. Douglass thereupon withdrew the motion, and the young man stood up to receive his sentence. Judge Bradley made no refer- ence to the yourg man’s offense, merely aying that in view of his youth and his cus good character the court wo.tld pre remit the imprisonment and impose only a fine. The judge thereupon sentenced Mc- Ethone to pay a fine of $200, and stand committed to jail until paid. District Attorney Davis stated to a Star reporter that he will require Turner to answer the indictments returned against bim some day this week. He expects, of course, that Turner will plead guilty, but it is doubtfui if the district attorney will consent to a suspension of sentence. Mr. Davis declined to say whether he will or will not endeavor to secure the indictment of McElhone as to several papers not re- ferred to in the three indictments on which he was tried. it was rumored at the cit: hall today, however. that District Attorney Davis intends taking such a step. = DROWNED WHILE BATHING. William Sutherland Met Death at the Bathing Beach Yesterday. William Sutherland, a young colored man, son of Keith Sutherland, who lives near 12th and R streets northwest, was drown- ed in the river just above the bathing beach yesterday about noon. The young man, it is said, had been fishing in the morning, and when he had finished he went in to take a bath and enjoy a swim. He was a good swimmer, and several times when he jumped into the water, from an old sand scow, his companions noticed that he re- mained under the surface a long time. For this reason his last disappearance did not cause any alarm for several minutes, and then it was impossible to rescue him. Policeman Sam Browne was called from the bathing beach, and the crew of the police boat also isted in the search for the body. About 5:30 o'clock in the after- noon their efforts were rewarded by the finding of the body, which was turned over to the dead man's parents. A certificate of accidental drowning was given. Se Discussed the Higher Life. Prof. Hyland C. Kirk delivered an ex- ceedingly interesting and instructive lec- ture on “The Evolution of the Higher Life’ at the Secular League's regular weekly mecting in Typographical Temple yesterday afternoon. He spoke, in part, as follow: “If evolution has brought man and all that surrounds him up to the present state of development, will it stop here and this development cease? Has man reached the acme of development and perfection? The universal ‘persistence of force’ indicates that evolution will carry everything on- ward in the future in the same direction that it has in the past, thus developing a much higher type of mankind than now exists, both mentally and physicdlly. Per- fect honesty in our mental operations, ir- respective of prejudices, parties and creeds, is the basis of all mental progress. From the point where man begins to comprehend himself does the responsibility for his ad- vancement rest with him? To this extent, in theological terms, does ‘free will’ take pnopeece of ‘predestination?’ ” e discussion was participated in b: Prof. W. M. Coleman, W. B. Burbage, Chace Royce, Maurice Pechim, W. H. Goots, Col. Richard Hinton and others. >—_—— FAREWELLS ARE EPIDEMIC. Another Note in a Bottle Handed to the Police. Another alleged farewell message in a bottle has been found in the river. This time the bottle was found by two fisher- men, and turned over to Policeman Head- ley of the fourth precinct. The note, writ- ten on an A. P. A. membership blank, read: “Good-bye, forever. All seems dreary and desolate. Please notify my residence, 816 North Ist street, Baltimore, Md., when this Is picked up. At that time all that is mortal of me will have washed away and all cares left behind. “JAMES A. H. FIELDER.” While the police will pay no attention to the note, the finding of a body would be followed by notifying people at the address given. The police think that these fake farewell letters are being written by fisher- men, and put in the empty whisky bottles from which they had imbibed the contents, ._————_. Chap!

The chorus- es were sung in good shape by the fifty trained voices engaged for that work, while the work of the soloist, Mrs. Kitty Thomp- son-Berry, who Was called upon at short notice to take the part of Naomi, was all that could be desired. Miss Lulu Facius directed _the chorus and cast and Prof. Arthur D. Mayo acted as the accompanist. The stage direction was under Mr. William H, Conley. BENEFIT FOR THN STRANDED AC- TORS.—There is every indication that the Leneflt which has been arranged for the stranded members of the Buckler Stock Company at the Bijou Theater tomorrow night will be a success. The program will inchide features from all the theaters in the city and the list is now almost made up. It will include Arthur Middleton, basso; Billy Golden, Frank Bosworth, “X-Ray” Bixley, Harry Mack, Maurice Hepner, young Stewart of the Buckler company and Madden Adams, besides a number of other features which have not yet been selected. Manager Whitesell of the Bijou has fur- nished the theater and all the necessary accessories to a successful benefit without thought of compensation and is making a strong personal effort to see that the af- fair will help the stranded actors and ac- tresses. MR. TAYLOR'S LECTURE.—Mr. Na- thantel T. Taylor will deliver an illustrated lecture, entitled “Glimpses of England and Ireland,” at St. Stephen’s Hall, Pennsylva- nia avenue and 25th street, this evening. The stereopticon, which will be operated by Mr. Wm. L. Soleau, will show some ex- tremely attractive views of historic places in both the countries, and Mr. Taylor's descriptions may be expected to be very entertaining. The proceeds will go to the benefit of St. Stephen's conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. CARUANA’'S DANCING EXHIBIT.—Prot. E. Mortimer Caruana will, in compliance with general request, repeat the dancing program recently given at the Academy of Music at the National Rifles’ Hall tomor- tow evening. The stage will be enlarged and there will be the same electric and cal- cium light effects that made the first ex- hibit so attractive. Prof. Caruana’s pupils all dance with an ease and grace that marks professional work, and all the novel- ties, including the “Demons’ Revels” and the serpentine dance, will be presented. EXCURSIONS, TOOK A FATAL DOSE. John H. Gargen’. th"-Produced by . Cyanide @f jam. John H. Garges, @ yong man, who had been employed as atctefk in C. D. Kenny's tea store, on Pennsfivafite avenue, for sev- efal years,drank soihe dyanide of potassium yesterday morning ‘and ten minutes later he died in terrible agofiy. He was in the Jewelry store of Henry-B. Koch, corner of Pennsylvania aventie aiid 8d street eouth- east, when he swiloted the fatel dose, and his death ocourtediin O’Donnel’s drug store, on the opposite ebrner. Mr. Garges swalléwed the poison by ac- cident, taking it water. Mr. Garges and the oWner of the jewelry store had long beer! friénds, and yesterday morning, when they galled at the store, John D. Crimmins; a mutual friend, was with them. Mr. Koch «went to the heavy iron safe'to get a piece of jewelry deposit- ed there, and Mr. Crimmins was standing near watching him as he manipulated the lock. Mr. Garges remarked that he wanted some water, and walked over to the spigot, as his friends believed, to, help himself. On a shelf near the water spigot was a glass containing the poison, end Mr. Gar- ges took a sip of it. Then he turned to the owner of the store and asked what that “stuff” was, saying it tasted so funny. Mr. Koch could hardly realize that his friend had been so careless as to taste the poison, and thought he was joking. He Jestingiy told’ Garges that he would better go to the drug store and get an antidote. Then it was that the victim of the dose took the matter seriously, and started across the street in the direction of the drug store, but when he reached the curb- stone he fell, and realizing he was losing his power of motion he turned and started back to the jeweiry store. Hardly had he reached the door before he again fell. His friends carried him to the drug store, and Dr. Luce was soon at his side, but the poison had taken effect, and a few minutes later the victim died. The coroner was notified and he gave permission for the removal of the body to the home of the young man’s parents, No. 1106 Park place northeast. The deceased was about twenty-five years old, and was a member of St. Peter's Church. He had a large circle of friends in this city, and his sad and sudden death was a severe shock to them. ——.—_—_ Closed Its Seventh Season. The Deutsch-Amerikanische Club has just closed its seventh season, and celebrated the event with an entertainment at the residence of Miss Xarifa Hancock. The program was as follows: Piano duet, Mrs. M. B. Hazard and Miss Blanche Browning; vocal solo, Mrs. J. J. Costinett, with violin obligato by Mr. E. A. Lovy; recitation, Mrs. S. J. Moore; baritone solo, Mr. Frank Rebstock; an essay, “The Origin of Ger- man Literature,” Professor Wm. Von Mumm; yocal solo, Miss Anna Buxman; “‘Mind-reading,” by Miss Charlotte White musical selections, Mr. Walmer; piano solo, Miss Bertha Buxman; humorous readings, Mr. B. F. Schubert; violin solo, Mr. Lovy. When these features were concluded, the company adjourned to the dining room, where refreshments were served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hancock, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Costinett, Dr. and Mrs. vHartleben, Mr. and Mrs. Hofiliger, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Seifert, Mrs. Hazard, the Misses Virgie and Xarifa Hancock, Bertha and Anna Buxman, Ottilie, Alma and Leo- nere Ebert, Charlotte and Ida White, Flor- ence Herbert, Watson, Proctor, Piyer, Whalgren and Browning, and Messrs. Schubert, Rebstock, Orrison, Lovy, Von Mumm, Brandebury, White, Hamburger, Nachman, Walmer and Johnson. The Columbia Turn Verein, a popular German organization, was the host at River View yesterday, and during the day over 2,000 persons, including nearly all the leading German-American residents of Washington, were the guests of the organi- zation. To accommodate this large throng the steamer Samuel J. Pentz made three trips to the View. As usual on these an- nual outings of the Turn Verein, an inter- esting athletic exhibition was given by the senior and junior gymnasium classes, The sports were all well contested, and the contestants were all warmly applauded. The novel water chute and other attrac- uons of the resort offered much amusement to the large crowd, and the concert by the View orchestra was also enjoyed. Nearly every one waited until the 7:30 or the 9:30 p.m. trip to come home. The committee in charge, of which Mr. August Neible wes chairman, were untiring in their efforts to make the affair the success it was. Next Sunday the Germania Pleasure Club, a new social organization, will have its outing at the View. Postponed excursions are not generally a success, but the excursion of Kismet Council of the Royal Arzanium, to River View, which was postponed from May 14 until Saturday evening last, proved the ex- ception to the rule, for over 1,200 of the Washington and Alexandria Arcanites and their friends were the guests of Kismet Council. The steamer Pentz left her wharf here shortly after 7 p.m. and before 8 all were landed at the View. An enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, shooting the chute, etc, and it was with regret that the whistle of the steamer was heard at 10:30 o'clock, announcing the hour to start for home. There were many who went to Marshall Hall yesterday and enjoyed the plank shad dinner. The boats were crowded on each trip, but the arrangements were so perfect that there was no discomfort, and the sail down the river was made delightful by the music of Schroeder's Band. The weather was hot in town, but it was cool at Mar- shall Hall, and when one reached there after a sailgon the Macalester or River Queen the appetite was sharp and the din- ner was toothsome and welcome. — Kicked by a Pony. Harry Porich, aged thirteen years, living at No. 1213 29th street northwest, was se- verely kicked and his right leg broken by @ pony at River View yesterday. He was brought to the city and taken to the Emer- gency Hospital, where he received surgical attention. It was at first feared that the boy's limb would have to be amputated, mann expressed the opinion that such ex- treme measures would not be necessary. . A.

Yard bridge, CAPITAL RAILWAY COMPLETED, The Company Expects to Run Its Cars Thursday Next. With the exception of a few minor and unimportant details, the new electric rail- way from Congress Heights to the Navy Yara has been completed and everything will be ready for operation by Thursday next. Several cars for the new road arrived yes- terday and were hauled to the power house in Anacostia, where the requisite machinery is being adjusted. It is understood that a test of the engines and dynamo wil! be made either this eveaing or tonight, and it is probable that a car will be run over the route tomorrow. 3 It is understcod that for the near future, and until President Randle can make better irrangements for getting across the Navy the cars will be operated by trolley from Congress Heights to the south side of the bridge, hauled across that struc- ture by horses, and run by the Brown underground system from the north side of the bridge to the navy yard, where pas- sengers will be transferred to the cars of the Capital Traction Company. It is claimed the cars of the new line are fully equal in all particulars to and closely resemble those of the Washington and Georgetown line.
