Thornton, a well-known col- ored citizen, who lives at 2048 Sth street northwest, and has been employed in the bureau of engraving and printing for a number of years, is again in trouble, be- cause of the disappearance of one of his children. This time the missing one is a boy, Philip by name, and he is ten years eld. A year or more ago a daughter, thir- teen years old, went away, and was gone several weeks. The boy left home early in May, at the time Barnum & Balley’s circus departed from the city, and his father has every rea- son to believe he was persuaded to go by some of the circus men. When his daugh- ter disappeared, the father made every ¢f- fort to find her before he asked the assist- ance of the police. He spent several hun- dred dollars in this effort, and in so doing traveled many hundred’ miles. Several times he heard of her movements, and for awhile believed she had gone to her rela- tives in Pennsylvania, but when he learn- ed that she was not there he was almost forced to abandon the search. His child had disappeared as completely as if she had been swallowed by the earth. Finally the good news came that his daughter was safe in a western city, where she had gone to wait on a lady who jour- eyed west from here, and soon afterward she returned home. Police Asked to Assist. The father followed the same plan of search for the boy, and when he had failed to locate him he called on the police for as- sistance. He reported at police headquar- ters yesterday, and had a long talk with Inspector Hollinberger concerning the miss- ing boy. It is known that the lad spent his me about the circus grounds when the show was here, and he was about the tents when they were taken down. It is the father’s belief that when the circus train pulled out, Philfp was in one of the cars, and he is making every effort to ascertain his present whereabouts. eee eg S TO PREVENT FIRES. Precautionary Steps Taken by Dire. tion of Commissioner Wight. The records of the fire department, and especially those of the fire marshal, whose business it is to explain the origin of con- flagrations, point unmistakably to the fact that over one-half of the fires of the city originate in cellars. This is particularly true in the business sections, and mer- chants are said to be extremely lax in keeping their cellars in good condition and free from combustible material. The in- surance agents realize the importance of ciean cellars, and make it a condition to the issuance of a policy. Commissioner Wight, appreciating the importance of the matter, has issued in- structions to Fire Marshal Drew to begin a systematic investigation of the cellars and store rooms about the city, and see’ to it that the danger from fire is reduced to a minimum. When it found that condi- ticns exist which are dangerous, the owner or occupant will be notified at once to cor- rect it, and if, after a reasonable time, he fails to cemply, he will be taken Into court for maintaining a nuisance: ——- A Unique Excursion For amateur photographers will leave B. and 0. station July 9, 11:45 a.m. Round- trip rate to Harper's Ferry, $1. cock, $1.95 Han- Cumberland, $3.05; good until 1 car with dark reom will Advt. ——— BEER ON SUNDAY. Objection to Sales on That Day to Consumers, The practice of brewers selling beer on Sundays to consumers was severely criti- cised this morning at the board meeting. Mr. M. I. Weller, representing St. Cyp- rian’s Chureh and himself, called the mat- ter to the attention of the board. He said it had become a serious nuisance, and the citizens were forced to appeal to the Com- missioners. The brewers, he said, claimed that no law existed for the regulation of the subject. They could sell beer to con- sumers on Sunday without regard to age or anything else. In conversation with one of the owners of a brewery the latter had told him they did not sell from choice, but because other breweries did, and it became a matter of competition. He read a letter from Father Matthews, pastor of St. Cyp- rian’s Chureh, urging the company to stop the practice. Mr. Weller urged the Com- missioners to take the matter before Con- gress and get a law covering the case. ‘The Commissioners stated the subject was now before the excise board for action. ese ates Excursions to Seashore vin BK. and 0.

Special Thomas Sembly, Campaign Orator, Ar- rested Second Time for Forgery. Precinct Detective McGlue arrested Thomas A. Sembly about 7 o'clock this morning, and his name appears on the rec- ords under the alias W. H. Cooper. Wil- Ham C. Botsch, a butcher in the Wester market, is complainant in the case, and he charges that the defendant passed on him @ worthless check for a small amount. Detective McGlue says he expects to have several other charges against Sembley be- fore the case is taken to the Police Court tomorrow. Sembly, who is thirty-two years , Sives his occupation as that of a walt- and he also says he has done some Spaper work. He 1s the man who served time for imitating the signature of Senator Gorman on a piece of paper which called for the payment of a small amount of money. Since then he has figured as a democratic campaign orator in Maryland. Only @ few days ago he passed a forged check on Bernard Conroy, a South Wash- ington saloon keeper, and the case was dropped when he had made good the amount and signed a written statement ad- mitting his gvlit ——__ Bieycle Meet at Frederick.

AGAIN ——___ ROTESTING. zens Want to Know Why Smith Crematory* Keeps Operating. Because the Smith crematory 1s still operating back of the old observatory the residents in the neighborhood are protest- ing loudly. A delegation visited the Com- missioners this morning. They claimed to have had the assurance of the board that the plant would be shut down, but, strange to say, It 1s still In operation, much to the discomfort of the residents in the neighborhood. Commissioner Wight assured the gentle- men that the crematory was only operat- ing per force of circumstances. The con- tractor had not yet been able to secure a dumping place down the river, where the garbage could be taken, and rather than have It Hlegally disposed of the Commts- sicners had thought it wise to continue the use of the crematory until the other arrangements covld be made. He gave positive assurances, however, that within a short time the crematory would be re- moved. —.— Fourth of July Holiday B. and 0.

S. Brian py a South Washington Merchant. J. Sparts Brian, a well-dressed man of apparent respectability, was held in the Police Court today for the action of the grand jury by Judge Kimball in $500 bonds, to answer a charge of false pretenses. The complaining witness was Richard H. Sor- Tell of No. 305 N street southwest, who told the court that through misrepresenta- tions Brian obtained from him $ in money and $13.50 in groceries. According to the testimony, Brian several weeks ago visited Sorrell. “He said he had been told that I was a Mason,” stated Mr. Sorrell, “and claimed that he also was a Mason. By profession, he said, he was an architect and wanted to employ a builder who was a Mason. The house was to be built on 14th street for H. E. Gardner, a wealthy mine owner from Denver. I gave the man $% with which to buy blue printing material, and supplied him with groceries for his family. Later 1 learned that he was an impostor.’ Other witnesses substantiated the state- ments of Mr. Sorrell, and the defendant then took the stand. He declared his claims were true, and that he could prove them as soon as H. B. Gardner returned to Washington from Atlantic City. Judge Kimball concluded that a prima facie case had been made, and took the ac- tion stated. ee eee Reduced Rates to Chapel Point, Md., via Penna. R. R.

Jnmes Anderson Suspected of Having Committed the Crime. A burglar visited the office of Albright & Barker's coal yard, No. 615 Hancock street northeast, about 2 o'clock this morn- ing’ and forced open the doeor with a crow- bar. This instrument had been stolen from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad shops. Fortunately for the owners of the place they had left no money or valuables of any kind In the office, and it was im- possible for the burglar to have made much of a haul. There was a pair of ofd shoes in the office and these were taken. Policemen Lynch and Mullen were near the office soon after the burglary was committed, and they arrested a colored man, whom they saw coming from the direction of the building. Near where they first saw him they found the shoes which had been taken, and they also found the crowbar near the office door. When the 6th precinct was reached the prisoner gave his name as James Ander- son, and suid he lived near 8th and E streets souihwest. He is employed in a pool room. He denies that he had been in the coal office, and said he had not even seen the shoes. The officers locked him up for a hearing tomorrow. sd July Gth at Bay Ridge. Grand display of fireworks.

In the distribution of one-half of the per- sonal estate of the late Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt, that portion assigned to the heirs-at-law by Miss Lizzie Hynes of Kentucky, one of the two equal bene- fictaries named in the alleged will of ieb- ruary 7, 1873, Judge Hagrer has signed an order apportioning the amounts among the heirs-at-law. After the will of 1873 had been set aside by the jury's verdict in June of last year, Miss Hynes withdrew her ap- peal from that verdict and conveyed her interest under the alleged will in and to the estate to the heirs-at-law. The estate consists, of course, of toth real and per- sonal property, and Judge Hagner’s order of distribution refers only to the personal Property, the Probate Court having no jurisdiction over the real estate. ‘Ihe Judge decided that James H. Holt, a grand- nephew of the testator, is not enttled to be a party to the distribution, and directed that the distribution be made as follows: Washington D. Holt, only son of Thomas Holt, a brother of Judge Holt, receives $15,500.86; William G. Sterett and Marga- ret Brown, children of Elizabeth Sterett, a sister, each $7,753.43, and Leckie J. Igle- hart, John W. Holt, Thomas Holt, Robert S. Holt, Joseph J. Holt and Sarah Holt, children of Robert S. Holt, a brother, each $2,584.40. The judge directs that the National Sate Deposit, Savings and Trust Company, ad- ministrator of the estate, distribute the one- half of the estate less $10,000, after the re- spective heirs-at-law have given the com- pany a release as to all claims against that portion of the estate at present existing or which may he made upon the discovery of @ suosequent will, ———— Personally Conducted Tour to Cres- son, Pa., vin nsylvania Railroad, Tickets will be sold for 10:50 a.m. train from Washington Saturday, July 3, con- necting with special train from Harrisburg, good for ten days, including one day’s board at the Mountain House, at rate of $8.00 for the round trip.—Aavt. —_ Free Flowers for the Sick.

An insane case which Sanitary Officer Frank says {s a particularly sad one, is being investigated. The sick man is Ed- gar Watkins, who has been a conductor on the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home line. He is about twenty-nine years old and lives at No. 9 P sireet northeast. His strange conduct during recent days has excited the suspicions of his wife and others, and yesterday he was taken in custody by the police. He imagines he has been elected President of the United States, and that he possesses the power of Ged. The police surgeons who examined him reported that he is insane and needs treatment, but us his mania is acute they think he may recover. This morning his wife called on nitary Officer Frank to hear the result of the doctors’ investiga- tion, and when told that her husband had been adjudged insane she broke down com- pletely, and because of ker condition it is fearcd her experience may prove a source of much trouble to her. Her husband will be treated by the asylum physicians until the case is passed upon by a jury. ee oe Special Excursion to Ocean City, Md., On July 4th. See advertisement. ° FOR ® AGAINST. Counsel Heard Concerning the New Construction on Rink Site. At a meeting of the board of Commis- sicners this morning arguments were heard pro and con: concerning the con- struction of a hall upon the site of the old New York avenue skating rink. Several of the residents and property owners in the neighborhood were present at the hear- ing. Mr. A. S. Worthington, representing the property owners, and Mr. Campbell Carrington, representing the proposed builders, were also in attendance. Mr. Worthington stated that he repre- sented the property owners in the imme- diate vicinity of the property known as the “Rink,” where it was proposed to erect a building for the indefinite purpose bs a hall for the congregation of people. He read the permit issued by the inspector of bulld- ings and referred’ to the newspaper ac- counts printed about the hall. He invited attention to the fact that in all of them stress was ldid upon the statement that there, was to be no stage. This was evident- ly set forth as an evasion of one of the most important and salutary building regu- lations. He referred to a protest agairst the building, which was on file, signed by a large majority of the owners of property and residents in the neighborhood, tnclud- ing the trustees of Epiphany Church, the New York Avenue Presbyterlan Church, the Foundry M. E. Church and the Young Men’s Christian Association. It was at this point that Mr. Campbell Carrington interrupted the proceedings by stating he could settle this matter by ex- plaining the purposes of the hall. Mr. Worthington replied rather abruptly, and Mr. Carringtcn promptly took issue with what he termed “unwarranted ag- gression.” This stirred up Mr. Worthing- ton, who replied he would not take any orders from him, and the colloquy was getting warm, when Commissioner Ross threw himself into the breach and asked Mr. Worthington to yield to Mr. Carring- ton. The latter promptly disclaimed for the owners of the hall any desire to evade any regulations. The building to be erected was not for the purposes of a hall per se. it was really for a bicycle academy. There was absolutely no desire to have a theater there. Already there were too many thea- ters in that neighborhood, and the project- ors were not fools enough to build anozher. It was to be a proper building and could not be objectionable. New York avenue is @ business street, he said, and such an im- provement should not he prohibited. ~Mr. Worthington closed with a strong plea for a revocation of the permit. —_—_—__ Now is the Senson for Grans Wetting.

Heffner and Swindells, composing the police retiring board, met at police headquarters today at noon and considered the cases of four po- licemen mentioned for retirement. They also heard ghe case of Mrs. Rodgers, widow of Policeman Rodgers, who is to be pensioned. Her husband had been a member of the force for several years prior to his death, bere occurred only a few days ago. At the time of his decease his case was being considered by the re- tiring board, and he would have been re- tired had he lived a few days longer. Policeman James Mulloy was one of the men before the board for retirement. He is about seventy-five years old, and has served on the force for more than thirty- five years. From the ranks he was made sergeant, but in 1875 he was reduced, and for a number of years he has been detailed at_the District building. Private Reuben M. Harlow of the sixth precinct, who has served for more than twenty-five years, was also up for retire- ment. Although he has never risen from the ranks, he has been a faithful officer, and has figured in many hard battles. Policeman Harry C. Wannell, also in the sixth precinct, was before the board. He has been a member of the force since 1888, and for about four years has been detailed at the city post office. The fourth officer in the list was Stephen L. Redgrave, who has wielded a baton since February, 1886. During his service of eleven years he has done duty on what is known as the “Foggy Bottom” beat, and he has probably figured in more hard fights than any other member of the force. On more than one occasion he was £0 brutally beaten that he nearly icst his life. The board took testimony in all of the cases, and will make recommendations to the Commissioners later. It is thought that all four of those named will be re- tired, and as they are in the second class their retirement will make room for four promotions. Trustee's Sale.
