Interviews dally. ate THE WEEK. Gov. Bushnell was nominated to succeed himself, and Senator Hanna's candidacy for the United States Senate was indorsed at the Onio republican convention at To- ledo; owing to facticnal differences in the party, the two candidates decided to make separate campaigns. Gov. Bloxham of Florida appealed to President McKinley for United States troops to restore order at Key West, where there was great excite- ment over an attempted lynching. Join Moses, colored, was lynched at Crystal Springs, Miss., for murder. Cornell won the ‘varsity boat race at Poughkeepsie, Yale second and Harvard third; the Yale crew won in the freshmen race two days before, all three crews breaking previous time records. The populist state committee of Maine declared against fusion with sil. ver democrats. The International Press- men’s Union, which met at Detroit, adopted a resolution condemning civil service re- form in the government printing office at Washington. The annual fest of the North- astern Saengerbund took place in Phila- delphia; the Brooklyn society won first prize in the singing contest; the next fest was scheduled for Brooklyn. Gen. John B. Gorden was elected commander-in-chief of the Confederate Veterans’ Association, which met at Nashville, Tenn. . Democrats, populists and silver republicans in Iowa combined in nominating a state ticket, headed by Frederick E. White for gov- ernor. A large aerolite passed over central Kar-sas; it had the appearance of a barrel of fire, and created much excitement where seen. Intense heat prevailed at New Or- leans and at many points in the west dur- ing a good part of the week. Missourl and Kansag were visited by tornadoes and heavy rain storms, which did great damage and resulted in considerable loss of life. Foreign. The great event abroad of the week was the celebration in England of the sixtieth year of Queen Victoria’s continuous reign. The queen took part in the great parade of June 22 in London, and her appearance contradicted the report that she had lost her sight and was about to abdicate on account of that misfortune and the general infirmities attending old age. The city of Tehuantepec, Mexico, was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake; the shock was felt all along the coast of California. Cap- tain Boycott, the famous Irish land agent, died in London. France resumed dtplo- relations with Venezuela and the apology of that republic for the incident which led to the rupture was accepted. Ihe reported serious illness of Giuseppe Verdt, the celebrated composer, in Italy, was de- nied. A report of General Weyler’s resig- nation was confirmed at Havana. Replying to a question by a member of the house, Parliamentary Secretary Curzon replied for the government that the rights of British subjects would be safeguarded in the pro- posed annexation of Hawail by the United States. The Russian ironclad Gangoot sank at Transund, but the crew was re- ported saved. It was announced from Simla, India, that over 6,000 lives were lost in Assam by thé recent earthquake. It was reported from Brussels that the Anglo- Belgian expedition against the Mahdists, headed ty Baron Dhanis, has been mas- sacred, inciuding Baron Dhanis himself. Lieutenant Ayerst agd Plague Commission- er Rand were shot by a native at Ganesh- kind, India, Lieutenant Ayerst_ was in- stantly killed and Commissioner Rand ser1- ously wounded. Disturbances were re- ported at Oveldo, capital of the Spanish province of that name. Herman Gilde Lopez, a Cuban insurgent, was executed by shooting at Matanzas. In the District. Judge Cox of the District Supreme Court issued orders in the street exterzion cases conformable to the mandate of the United States Supreme Court recently handed down on the appeal to that tribunal; the general deficiency bill, which was reported from the Senate appropriation committee, contained items fur the payment of awards under the highway extension act. The Commissioners considered plans for the reform of the garbage collection service, and practically agreed upon a system of destruction at a point down the Potomac, to which the garbage should be removed in ciosed tanks conveyed by scows. On the cpening of the second bids of the District printing for the coming fiscal year it was found that a local firm had made the most favorable proposition. The official tests of the compresssed air motor, being experi- mented with by the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railway Company, was con- tinued; no definite results were reported to the Commissioners. In the Criminal Court Allen L. Seymour of New York and John Macartney of Washington, brokers, were acquitted of the charge of contumacy brought in connection with the senatorial sugar investigaticn of 1804. The court- martial in the case of Prof. Fanciulli, leader of the Marine Band, rendered a ver- dict of guilty and sentenced the accused to cismissal from the service; the acting secretary of the navy, Mr. Roosevelt, dis- approved the sentence and substituted a reprimand. Among those who died during the week were Representative Edward B. Cooke of Illinois; Richard Smith, a well- known local lawyer, and Col. Clement Hebb of the United States Marine Corps. —+e2___ Hotel Arrivals. Rale'gh—S. S. Stout, Chicago, IIL; L. 8S. Hodges. Providence, R. I.; A. Howard, San Francleco, Cal.; A. Harrison, New Yor! S.

DUE TO DIATHERMANCY The Secret of the Hot Day and the Succeed- ing Oool Night. Some Scientific Explanations of the Causes That Made Washington a Most Disagreenble Abiding Place. Diathermancy did it. It is a difficult and polysyllabic word, but -whatudt describes was entirely responsible!‘forithe weather that made June 25 one of fhe most ire tensely disagreeable days in;the meteoro- logical calendar of, the,;natinoal capital. When there is such a‘@ondition’ as dia- thermancy of the atmosheré! the air be- comes about as inefficiéht t@ thwart the rays of the sun as a «mosquito netting would be. They jus naturally bore through the air, and wherever’ they hit on terra firma they have ‘pretty much the same effect as though they were sent through a sunglass on the way. But the same cause of daylight: agofy serves to relieve it when the’ sun ‘sets, for the ten- uity of the upper ether that lets the sun’s rays through when the orb: is sailing through the cerulean blue admilas of thé escape of the heat at fhe surface of the earth when the cause of {t sinks to rest beneath the pink coverlet and the other celestial bed clothes in the far fvest. A Lucky Thermometer. The thermometer ‘at the weather bureau reached 91 at the hour of noon yesterday, and dropped back to 90 at 1 o'clock. It is @ very lucky thermometer in hot weather. It is perched upon the top of the building presided over by Mr. Willis L. Moore. It is situated inside of a slatted apartment, where every breeze that blows has easy access, and if a sweltering citizen could exchange places with it on any old hot day he would feel supremely happy. If that thermometer had been down town along the street level, where are those who have to hoof it through life’s battle with the warmth, it would have sailed its record up to 96, for at Burchell’s grocery store on F street at 3 o'clock yesterday the tube in the doorway, under the awning, where per- iring pedestrians stopped to cool off, showed the mercury even. with that fig- ure on the side of it. This morning the diathermancy had succeeded in getting in its night work with applaudable results, and the air was pleasant and breathable. The clouds which Jupiter Pluvius had considerately sent warded off the rays of the sun, and a gentle breeze swept through the streets, keeping the boughs and leaves a-tremble. Consequently the countless in- dividuals who swere and sweltered yester- day smiled and were satisfied today, and the neglige shirt that was donned in the early hours will retain sufficient of its con- sistency to escape. the wash Monday morn- ing, and be donned again that day In case the owner is economical in regard to laun- dry bills or has a limited wardrobe when it comes to neglige: SS THE COURTS.

Investigation to Be Made and Guilty Parties Punished—The Groom Com- mitted as a Vagrant. There appeared at the clerk’s office of the District Supreme Court, about noon of ‘Thursday last, John H. Strong, an old sol- dier, apparently at least sixty years of age, and a woman of about forty-five years of age, who gave ker name as Mary E. Robinson. The man, who was in an intox- icated condition, stated that he desired to obtain a license authorizing the marriage of the woman and himself. He could not, however, satisfy the clerk, Maj. L. P. Wil- liams, that he had been naturalized, and the license was refused him. The woman, who was bedecked in bridal attire, crowned with a wreath of orange blossoms, from which flowed a long white veil, was somewhat indignant when told that the license could not be issued until the prospective bridegroom satisfied the clerk that he had been made a citizen of this ccuntry, or had obtained from the dip- lomatic representative here of his native country a certificate showing that no legal impediment to the marriage existed. In Spite of Law. Taking the arm of her elderly admirer she left the clerk's office, declaring to the large crowd attracted by their appearance that she would get the license in spite of the law. The couple, together with a little girl, drove off in a carriage which await- ed them. The child was presumably the woman's, for she had confessed to a pre- vious marttal experience. A young colored man occupied a seat beside the driver. On his way to the carriage the old man fell and accomplished a slide equal to one of the best ever made by “Tommy” Tuckcr, the silent first baseman of the Washingion base ball team. Later in the day a young colored man, who gave his name as Eugene Mercer, ap- peared at the clerk’s office and applied to Major Williams for a marriage license for John H. Strong and Mary E. Robinson. Aroused Suspicion. Recalling the names of his visitors earlicr in the day, Major Williams particularly inquired of Mercer the age and color of the parties for whom he desired the license. Mercer placed the man’s age at thirty-two and the woman’s at twenty-five years. He also stated that both were colored. Major Williams doubted the truth of Mercer's statement, but as the man, as required by the new marriage law, swore that his statements were true, the marriage license was issued to him. Yesterday the Rev. Jos. T. Kelley, pas- tor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, made a return to the license issued to Mercer, showing that he married the couple at his residence, 519 4th street, the same day the license was issued. Mr. Kelley, it is said, stated that the parties he married were white people, and that their ages agreed with the statements made by the couple to whom Major Williams refused to issue a license. The Case Reported. Mr. John R. Young today reported the case to Detective Mattingly, with the re- quest that he investigate it. If the detec- tive discovers that Mercer swore falsely in making the application for the license, Mr. Young will ask Attorney Davis to prose- cute him fer perjury, and the man and woman for subornation of perjury, if they induced Mercer to awear falsely. What may prove to be a sequel to the fcrmer transaction transpired in the Police Court today, wher a man who gave his name as William Strang, an old pensioner, was arraigned as a vagrant, a rather in- teresting story being brought to light. An Incident Recalled. Readers of The Star will recall the horri- ble accident which befell a man named Robinson, driver of the animal wagon of the health department, about ten days ago, on New Jersey avenue. In some manner, Robinson was thrown from his seat to the pavement, and the heavy vehicle he was driving passed over him, inflicting fatal in- qucles The! ag ibe of Robinson at the pital, prior to ith, were a see his wife. Sere ‘Widow's Weeds Doffea. The funeral of Robinson was hardly over, it is said, when the widow was joined in holy matrimony to the man who appeared in the Police Court dock today.

Wrenches, pumps and other articles have been stolen from tool bags on the wheels. The front premises of residences have also suffered thefts, including plants and watering hose. The recent rains in the country east of the city heve put the roads in good condi- tion, and wheelmen are taking advantage of them. Usually at this season of the year the sandy roads between here and the pay make wheeling difficult, but this year the weather conditions re been more favorable than heretofore, and the ride is an enjoyable one. While dealers in the markets are receiv- ing fancy fruits from the south and west, the country people are handling some early fruits ripened about here. All kinds of berries are in market, and there is an abundance of cherries. Early apples are also being picked and nearly every vege- table grown in this section is to be had now. A set of harness and a lap robe were stolen from the stable in rear of 1334 U street last night. Mr. C. R. Monroe, the owner of the articles, has reported the theft to the police. George W. Acorn, who lives at 223 12th street, has reported the theft of his coat nd vest. The garments were stolen from @ new building, where Mr. Acorn was do- ing some work. George M. Lipscomb, a resident of George- town, was robbed of his coat and a pocket dicticnary yesterday. He was working on E street northwest between 3d and 4th streets, and his coat was taken from where he had left it on the fence. Harry McDonald, a colored boy, nine years old, who lives at No. 220 Reeves ecurt, succeeded in getting his kneecap dislocated while playing on a vacant lot near Ist and Reeves streets yesterday after- noon. The Freedmen’s Hospital physicians attended him. Willie Stewart, nine years old, son of John Stewart of 923 U street northwest, had a good time playing with matches yes- terday afternoon until his clothing caught fire. He was severely burned about the body, and the police removed him to Freed- men’s Hospital for treatment. ‘The sewer trap at the pump in front of No. 61 G street was reported obstructed today. Two similar sewer obstructions in Southeast Washington were also reported. John W. Rhodes, fifty years old, while working on a one-story building in rear of Hoffman's bakery, on Grant street, in the county, yesterjay, fell to the ground and injured himself. He was removed to Freed- : ‘i i i FINANCIAL. Make up your lind to save ETulariy, cach month and atick to your .
