Powley was electrocuted at 11:25 o'clock this morning. The execution was success- ful. The crime for which Robert J. Powley was executed was committed on the night of March § at Niagara Falls, N. ¥. Powley at the time of the murder was under indictment for criminal assault in the second degree, and had been released on his own recognizance. Some time pre- vious he had been tried for attempting to chloroform his wife, the jury disagreeing on the first trial and acquitting him on the second. He was employed on the new sus- pension bridge at Niagara Falls. Mrs. Powley supported herself and two children by dressmaking. Powley had not been living with her for over a year.

A dispatch from Richmond, Va., to The Star states that Stewart Ford has sued his wife for divorce. Mrs. Ford is the daugh- ter of Rev. Sam Small, whose home is now in Washington. The grounds upon which the divorce was asked were not stated in the bill of particulars. Mrs. Ford has, it is stated, been already d! vorced once, her first husband being a Mr. Jackson of Knoxville, Tenn. ———— It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the per- son who can fill your need.

A large force of laborers are engaged in clearing the site of the Rink en New York avenue between 13th and 14th streets, which was destroyed by fire several months ago, and a yrermit was issued this after- noon for the erection upon It cf a structure containing a commodious hall, which will be intended for such large gatherings as fairs, bazaars, public meetings, concerts, &c. There is a possibility, however, that it may be used as a bicycle academy. The structure will be built under the direction of Mr. Washington Danenhower, who is the trustee and agent of the syndicate which owns the property. Plans have been prepared by Mr. Charles W. Sommerville, and provide for a building fronting 110 feet on New York avenue, with a depth of 16 feet. It will be devoted entirely to the purposes named above, and will contain no stores or rooms other than those needed for cloak and repairing purposes. There will be galleries at both ends, but no stage. The front will be of the most attractive design. It will be two stories in elevation, and the first story will have a plate glass front extending its entire length. Tae ma- terials above will be ornamental brick, stone, galvanized iron and brass. The building will be completed in October. Mel- ton & Watts have the contract to erect the building. ——_s—_—_. AFTER THE SALOONS. Montgomery County League Serves Notice on Liquor Dealers. “The saloon must go,” is the heading of a circular which is being sent out to places in Montgomery county where liquor sell- ing is suspected, and the warning is given that the grand jury of the county will be called upon to investigate. The Anti-Saloon League of the county has issued this cir- cular and sent a copy of it to the holders of internal revenue licenses, as well as to those suspected of keeping seapk-easies. The circular reads as follows: “The Montgomery County Anti-Saloon League is organized to try to suppress the violations of the Jaw in this county for- bidding the sale of liquor. To the fulfill- ment of this end it has secured a list of those holding United States internal rev- enue tax certificates for the sale of liquor, and in this list your name appears. It. is purposed to submit this list and any and all other evidence of violations of the law to the next grand jury. “Since it 1s a violation of the United States internal revenue laws for you to sell liquor without having conspicuously posted in your place of business a receipt for revenue tax paid by you, we respect- fully notify you that all such infractions of the law will be prosecuted.” The circular gives the information that it was issued by direction of the executive committee of the league, of which Mr. B. H. Miller of Ashton is president. As stated inthe circular, copies of it have been sent to the holders of revenue licenses, and it is stated that some keepers of “speak- easies’’ have also been similarly warned. When the next grand jury meets there will be plenty of work to do, if all these cases are to be investigated, for, it is stated, there are many drinking places In that part of the county bordering on the canal and river. Copies of the circular have been received by persons in the liquor business along the Conduit road and of- ficers of clubs holding internal revenue licenses. ne CATHOLICS OPPOSE THURMAN. Gettting Even for Latter’s Fight on Bland at St. Louis. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 20.—Opposition to Allen W. Thurman for candidate for governor has cropped out in his own coun- ty, which will probably make his nomina- tion impossible. Four delegates) who are Catholics, declare that they will not vote for him even on the first ballot, for the reason that last summer at the national democratic convention Thurman was the first to raise the cry of “Catholic” against R. H. Bland on his candidacy for the dem- cratic nomination for President. Thurman replies that he did it for policy sake; that as for himself he would as will- irgly have voted for Mr. Bland, a Catholic, as he would if he were a Protestant, but with the A. P. A. sentiment so strong all over the country he thought it unwise to place a Catholic at the head of the ticket. He simply called attention to a blunder that the party was running into, and which as_the result of his action was avoided. Robert T. Hough of Highland county seems to be in the lead for the nomination for governor today, but his prominence is proving a dangerous thing for him, for it is calling upon him the united opposition cf the other candtdates, who recognize in him their strongest opponent. As the matter stands, however, the nomination promises to be largely fortuitous. John R. McLean's hand cannot be seen in the situation yet, and it seems pr@bable now that he will not use his influence in any way, preferring to maintain a position of -friendliness to all the candidates. ——__. The Foes of Alcohol. The celebration of the fourth anni- versary of the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia, which took place Sun- day evening at the First Congregational Ckurch, was one of the most successful in the history of the organization. President James L. Ewin presided, and addresses were made by Vice it Canfield and Rev. L. B. Wilson, D. D. American first vice president of the Anti: Saloon League. ANENT WEATHER CHANGES, Capt. Rixey of Montana Recites a Single Morning's Experience. “We are having wonderful weather,” re- marked Mr. Scatterly of 19th street this morning in a tone of suggestion to Capt. Phineas Rixey of the far west in general and Montana In particular. “I never knew se many remarkable and varied changes.” “Wunnerful weather,” repeated Capt. Rixey, scornfully; ‘’markable - changes,” he reiterated with a sniff. “Yo’ remawks, Scat., air on'y another indicayshun uv th’ irs'l'ar ignance ov th’ east.

Z a —_>-—__—* The Van Alphen Toast, To the Eritor of The Evening Star: | In the very interesting stary fhe Star published Saturday about the/postal con- gress the statement was maie Mat Mr. van Alphen, the distinguisi{pa "delegate from the Transvaal republic, ,whilg at the Chamberlin banquet at Old Peint Comfort, had offered a toast to his infant son, then “dead at Pretoria.” This is arf‘unfértunate mistake, and, in view of the t mis- representation elsewhere which seemed to tall to the lot of the head @f the postal service of the South African republic while he was in this country, a corgection is due him. Such a toast was offered by another of the delegates, and heartily di too, Mr. van Alphen joining in tHe tae, but not offering it. This was on Saturday, May 22, and the child’s death did not occur un- til Sunday, the 30th, bi Mr. and Mrs, Anton L. Hoffman, Mr, Carl Hoft- man, jr., Mr. and Mrs. W. H, Mr. and Mrs. Auracher, Mr. and gust Niebel and many others. present were Mr. and ‘That Fifteen Hundred Dol! ‘Will Not Secure Brya: - dorsement in 1900. To the Edstor of The Erening $ Will you kindly give me the space to briefly notice Senator Allen's recent tirade against myself in the United States Senate chamber? The full text of his speech has just reached me, and, as I expccted, he contents himself with denials and per- sonal abuses. This may answer in lieu of argument with the Nebraska senator, but it will not elevate him with his colleagues nor extricate him from the dilemma in which he is placed. He admits that Bryan gave $1,500 to the people's party, but now ciaims that he was made the repository cf the money instead of the national commit- tee. Why has this knowledge not been given to our party before? In other words, why have they maintained such profound secrecy until driven from cover by my charges? What right has Senator Allen to pocket $1, in the name of the peo- ple’s party? Mr. Bryan himself in his Press notice answering my charges, says that it would have been an inexcusable slight not to have given the money to the People’s party. This is truly refreshing. Had Mr. Bryan been as anxious not to hurt the feelings of our party nine months ago as he seems to be today he would now be President of the United States. Strange that this death-bed repentance should come in the garb of a $1,500 check! And still stranger that this check should have gone into the pocket of Senator Allen, and that this gentleman should have immediately developed such an antipathy to the ville middle-of-the-road conference Now, in regard to signing my his letter of notification. In his Senate speech Allen says that I am an irresponsi- ble person and an idle dreamer. All this may be true. I wiil not attempt to refute the charge. He also says that I was not the secretary of the noiification commit- tee. In almost the next breath he says that he signed my name to the letter at my own express request! Here is logic with a vengeance! No one will deny that a letter notifying a man of his nomina- tion for the presidency Is a very import- ant document. Such documents are sign- ed only by the chairman and secretary of the committee. Now, if I am an “irre- sponsible person,” an “idle dreamer” and was not secretary of the committee the question naturally arises why should he have signed my name to the letter in ques- tion? John Smith, Petter Jones and a host of other “idle dreamers” might also have made an “express request” to have had their names appended to thé document. Would the senator have added them? I fear that the senator has paid more atten- tion to developing his lung power than his logic. Mr. Bryan may well exclaim, “God save me from my friends!” As the remainder of the senator’s speech is de- voted to personal abuse of myself it de- mands no reply. Such billingsgate may answer for the Senate, but I will not re- tort in kind. This controversy has only added one more spike in the coffin of fu- sion. The unholy alliance between the democracy and the peopie’s party which was brought about by the machinations of Senator Allen will soon be at an end. The $1,500 held by the able-bodied senator -will not prevent the Nashville conference nor secure the indorsement of Bryan in 1900. L. C. BATEMAN. Auburn, Me. —_——— THE MARINE CORPS. Two Important Nominations Made by the President Yesterday. The nominations, made by the President yesterday, of Capt. Frank Lee Denny to be major and quartermaster and Chas. L. Mc- Cawley to be captain and assistant quarter- master, United States Marine Corps, have considerable interest in this city, where both gentlemec are well known. Capt. Denny is now on duty in this city, being the assistant quartermaster at head- quarters of the Marine Corps. He entered the corps as a second lieutenant in May, 1880. He became a first lieuetenant in De- cember, 1884, and captain in April, 1591, He had compteted a little over four years’ sea service when given his captaincy. Capt. Denny has been stationed at nearly all of the posts in the east. His cruises were on Loard the Quinnebaug, Powhatan and Bos- ton. While on the first-named vessel he was in the harbor of Alexandria, Egypt, when the English fleet, under Admiral Seymour, bombarded that historic city. The evening of the day after the bombardment, the marines ot the American fleet were landed _by order of Admiral Nicholson. Capt. Denny commanded the detachment from the Quinnebaug, and the following morning became the senior marine officer on shore. At the time great disorder prevailed in Alexandria. There were incendiarism and looting, and much cruelty and some killing by the natives. For several days and nights the American marines were actively at werk putting out fires, arresting offenders, and otherwise assisting in restoring order. Capt. Denny’s next unusual duty was with the expedition sent by Secretary Whitney to the Isthmus of Panama in 1885. An insur- rection had broken out in Colombia, and the railroad crossing the isthmus was in the hands of the insurgent forces. To open the transit and keep it open was the mis- sion of the expedition. Mr. McCawley is well known in Wash- ington, where he has lived since boyhood. His father was the late Col. McCawley, for 80 many years stationed here as command- ant of the Marine Corps, and who diei about six years ago. His grandfather was Capt. James McCawley, also of the Marine Corps, who died many years ago. Both these officers served long, honorable and gallantly in the Marine Corps, their com- bined service covering a period of over three-quarters of a century, and includ-d the Florida, Indian, Mexican and civil wars, during which they were brevetted for gallantry in action, and it was in rec- ognition of their services in this corps that the President saw fit to make this appoint- ment of the son and grandson. Mr. Mc- Cawley’s mother was Miss Colegate of this city, and his uncle was the late Dr. James C. Hell, so well known to all residents. His great grandfather was Dr. James Laurie, a prominent Presbyterian clergyman, who came to Washington from Scotland in 1803. Mr. McCawley has been for sixteen years the secretary to the commandant of the Marine Corps, during which time he has studied and graduated in law, and is most thoroughly equipped for the duties of his new office. His appointment was urged by the commandant of the Marine Corps, the Secretary and assistant secretary of the navy, and numerous personal friends in and out of official life. ———__e-________ Yale Wants Only a Dual Race. The announcement that Cornell will here- after insist on having all the colleges in the United States that so desire row for the championship is energetically discussed on the Yale campus. A prominent member of the Yale navy said: “Cornell, if she so desires, can row with Columbia, Pennsyi- vania and the rest of them, but Yale would be in favor of a dual race with Harvard at New London and pay no attention to the championship. Cornell would then come off her high horse, as she knows Yale and Harvard just want a race for the sake of amateur sports.” —_-+e+___. To Study English Rowing.
