All Clues Heretofore Pursued Have Proved to Be Baseless—Terror in “The Camp.” Dorsey Foults, the colored murderer of John Robinson, has now been at large just nineteen days, and the police having be- come tired of searching sewers, woods and houses, have decided to seek outside as- sistance. To this end a reward of $50 has been offered for his apprehension, or for information which will lead to his capture. The murder was committed the 3ist of last month, and the shot fired by the mur- derer was heard by many persons, who were on their way to the cemeteries north of the city, observing Decoration day. The affair happened in the second police precinct, and for some reason there was a delay of several hours in notifying the other precincts of the serious and out- rageous crime. Foultz was tracked to the woods north of the city, where he might easily have been captured had a posse of officers from the different precincts gone in pursuit, but this was not done, and so the colored man who had taken his neighbor's life got away. Detectives on His Trail. The next morning came, but Dorsey was still at large. Detectives were put on the case when the fugitive had been away for about forty-eight hours, and they asisted in the search. Then colored people in “the camp” and elsewhere commenced giving clues io the police. If their statementg were true, Dorsey Foultz had sat in a tree and watched the officers who were looking for him. He had also visited a great many houses, and those who claimed to have seen him said he was heavily armed, and had threatened to kill a colored’ man named Banks, as well as Special Officer Brockenborough. These statements caused many of the old acquaintances of Foultz to become frightened, and the police say they had the effect of preventing some of them from giving information concerning his where- abouts. Many people in ‘the camp” were thoroughly frightened, and it is stated that some of them locked their houses soon after sundown, fearing he would visit them and probably do some damage. But some few colored people managed to get information to the police concerning the fugitive, and each clue thus obtained was foliowed until the trail failed. Fears of the People. The people with whom the murderer had had trouble were especially afraid of him. They understood that Dorsey realized what would happen to him if he were caught, and for this reason they supposed he would have no regard for human life. On the ether hand the police have tried to as- sure the citizens that they need not fear him, for he wi!l not dare to commit a scc- end offense, and, if caught, he will not be in a position to do any more harm. Soon after the crime was committed the question of offering a reward for his cap- ture was mentioned in The Star, but the Police then said they had no fund from Which such reward could be paid. Now, nineteen days after the commission of the crime, the department offers a reward of $0). A postal containing a description of e fugitive, and an offer of the reward, printed this morning, and they arc be- ing sent to pelice departments in other sec- tions of the country. It is believed by the police that the offer will result in the arrest of Foultz if he is really in this section. The Cireular. Precinct Detective Barnes and Speciai Officer Brockenborough were out early this morning searching for the fugitive. and the offering of th. reward had the effect of causing renewed interest in the case by persons not connected with the depart- ment. The circular prepared and sent out by the police is as follows: “$0O_Fifty dollars reward—$0. “Wanted for murder committed in this city Monday, May 31, 1897. “Dorsey Foultz, colored,dark copper color, twenty-two to twenty-four years old, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches tall, 135 pounds, medium build, small reddish mustache, hair grows down on sides of his face, which gives him the appearance of having side whiskers (may be clean shaven now), slightly round shouldered, thick lips and one leg slightly bowed. Generally works on huckster wagon, and will no doubt seek employ ment at the same business; drinks, plays crap, associates with disreputable persons and frequents evil resorts. He is of a quarrelsome disposition and has served time in the penitentiary for killing a boy in the reform school while an inmate there. Fifty dollars reward will be paid for his arrest and delivery to any officer of this jurisdiction, who will be sent for him. Kindly cause diligent inquiry to be made and send any information to Wm. G. Moore, major and superintendent of metropolitan police.” Not long after it had been given out that a reward had been offered a well dressed young colored man called at the detective office and asked for an application blank for the secret service. “You are too young,” the sergeant told him. ‘Do you mean you want to get on the detective force?” “Yes, sir,” was his response. “Have you ever done any work?” he was asked. “No, sir, but [ have an idea that I can do good detective work.” He explained that he had been an tn- surance agent and as such he had been required to make investigaticns.

He left the office saying he would make a search for the murderer. en { | Giving Your Grass Plot a Drink regularly through our 7c.-a-foot garden hose results in the signs of drink showing by the scon acquired green complexion.

AMUSEMENTS. CONCERT BY BLIND PUPILS.—In spite of the unfavorable weather, a good-sized audience attended the concert of the Mary- land Schcol for the Blind at Lafayette Square Opera House yesterday afternoon. Those who took part in the performance were all pupils, of various degrees of a/l- vancement, at the school, and from the high-class musical efforts of the older students to the performances of the little tots in the kindergarten class the exhibi- tion was little short of marvelous. With only the senses of touch and hearing to rely upon, the kindergarten class gave an exhibition drill in calisthenics and march- ing which was better executed than half the professional efforts in the same line cone sees on the stage. They marched, countermarched, formed squares, hexa- gons and other geometric figures, keeping perfect time to the music while doing so. At given signals they waved the flags they carried, always keeping up perfect sym- metry and harmony in their movements. The program opened with an overture by the orchestra, which was followed chorus “The Mermaids’ Evening Song, the children. Then Master Clinton Russell ave a very creditable violin selection, ac- cempanied by Mr. Oliver C. Keeney at the piano. I. Harry Maxwell came next with a vecal solo, “For All Eternity,” accompa- ried by Master Clinton Russell on the vio- and Francis C. Myers at the piano. xt came selections from “Carmen” by the orchestra. The kindergarten and calis- thenic exercises which came at the close of the first part were the feature of the pro- gram and met with most generous applause. Superintendent Morrison explained so: thing of the methods of teaching at the schocl and the status of the pupils there. He said it was in no wise an asylum, but a school, similar to any other, except that the instructors had made a study of in- structing those who had lost their sight. He also explained the method of securing admission to the institution, which, in case of Washington children, should be made to Dr. E. M. Gallaudet of Kendall Green. CLOSING OF THE GRAND.—This will be the last week of vaudeville at the Grand Opera House, and tomorrow night the theater will be closed until the opening of the regular season. Finances had nothing to do with this arrangement, as the com- panies booked have been drawing well, and the performance last night was more large- ly attended than any of the others. The closing was decided upon last Wednesday, when “Fritz” Emmet and others in the bookings refused to appear in Washington during the hot months and telegrams from Clara Morris and Pauline Hall announced their determination to “lay off” during the summer. The higher class people are rot obliged to work during the supplemen- tary season, and, even in cases where they are, can take their pick of the resorts and cool places. Manager Isaac, who will run a show here next year, was unwilling to keep open ona half showing, and hence the determination to close tomorrow. —-+__ CLOSING EXERCISES. Interesting Program by Students of F Street Academy.

That new air motor imported by the re- ceiver of the Eckington and Belt lines. Is still balky, not yet having gotten over its sulks or timidity. The latest report of a spectator concerning it is to the effect that yesterday morning about 10:30 o'clock an- other ineffectual effort was made to in- duce it to ascend the little grade on T street to 8d street. It was accompanied on foot by two white and three colored men, armed with crowbars and other in- struments of persuasion, while the expert manipulated the controlling apparatus, but after backing and forwarding the machine, blocking the’ way of two trolley cars and delaying rapid transit for several minutes, they finally succeeded in getting it as far west as the switch on T street, a distance of one short block, when the obstinate, mortifying thing was allowed to back down grade to the opposite track and return to the power house. An old Broadway car’ body, one of New York's four hundred, nesting on wind and water, minus _ firepot and smokestack, does not seem to be a very successful combination thus far.- At least considerable rehearsing appears to be necessary before a satisfactory public per- formance can pe safely undertaken. eas $4.00 to Philadetphia and Return via B. and 0, R.R.

It was also claimed that Walker made an assignment to one Prout, but no record of it was shown. Mr. Bradshaw claimed title under J. H.

It finally broke and discharged a great deal. I received no benefit at the Springs which I visited, and the tumor finally began to rise inwardly and discharge. Seeing” an advertisement of Hood's Sarsapariila, I thought I would try Jt. Before I had finished taking one bottle I found I was much relieved, and when I had taken two bottles the rising began to break inwardly, I continued the use of Hood's Sar- saparilla, and after I had taken 12 bottles I was entirely cured.” W.

Isaac Shirley, Resident of Havana, Calis on Officer Frank. Sanitary Officer Frank had a great many callers this morning. Some of them wanted transportation, others wanted to get hos- pital treatment, while still others were Icoking after cases of alleged insanity. Among the former was a small colored boy, whose accent indicated that he was not a rative of America. He had just come here from Tampa, Fla., he said, and wanted to go to Philadelphia, where he thought he could get employment on a steamship plying between that city and Jamaica. Isaac Shirley was the name he gave, and he said he was fourteen years old. His story was that when he was a small child he went with his parents from Jamaica to Cuba, and since their death he has lived in Havana. He seems to know very litle about the war that is going on in Cuba, although he says he has seen a number of people killed. He wanted to return to J: maica, he informed Officer Frank, and ebout two months ago left Havana and worked his passage over to Tampa. On the boat were many children and women, he said, and also a number of men. While he could not tell much of hardships and sufferings endured by the natives, he did say he knew that all the women and children there are anxious to leave Cuba and come to America. He tells of having seen the streets of Havana filled with Spanish soldiers, and while he had no trouble, he said, he was glad to get away from there. Sanitary Officer Frank gave him transpor- tation to Philadelphia. Pe —__.—__ LOOKING AFTER HIS FUNDS. Oswald Abington Makes a Call Britain’s Ambassador. A young man who gave his name as Os- wald W. Abington was tcday arraigned be- fore Judge Kimball as a suspicious charac- ter, and was sent down to await an inves- tigation as to his sanity. The evidence showed that the accused yesterday visited the office of the British legation and tried to get an audience with Sir Julian Paunce- fote. His object, as stated by himself, was to get the ambassador to send a cable dis- patch to the Bank of England to ascertain how much credit he had there. The defendant said his mother died when he was two days old, and that he inherited about $40,000 from her estate. Part of this he drew, he said, about fifteen years ago, but this has been exhausted and he now wants to get the remaindei Royal, The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder. EXC URSIC INS, ETC.
