SS é Army Club’s Campfire. The Grand Army Club of the District of Columbia had a campfire and banquet at Wuilard’s Hotel Saturday evening, with Gov. D. M. Clough and staff of Minnesota and the survivors of the Ist Minnesota In- fantry, and Frank Eddy, an eloquent rep- resentative of the Mirresota press, as spe- cial guests. All were introduced in sue- cession by the governor's private secretary, Col. Roland H. Hartley. Much patriotic enthusiesm was occasion- ed by the addresses of Mr. Eddy, Colonel Meade, Major S. 8. McKinley, Col. L. W. Campbell, Col. L. B. Crook, Past National Commander Ray, W. T. Gassaway, 8. L. Frazier and others. The guests were given come. prefaced by formal greetings by President Dinsmore, Department Com- taander Hopkins and A. A. G. Hendricks. By a rising vote the Minnesota guests were elected honorary members of the club. Music and refreshments were interspersed.

Citizens of Eckington and Vicinity Present a Set of Colors—Felicitow md Fireworks. The Fourth of July was made to do duty in a double capacity by the residents in Eckingion and Bloomingdale. Besides the customary celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, they provid- ed an elaborate series of festivities to mark the installation of the new fire engine com- pany in its handsome quarters at the cor- ner of North Capitol and Quincy streets, there being a presentation by the citizens to the company of a set of colors to float over its new home. The occasion was made memorable by patriotic speeches, and an elaboraté, display of fireworks, a band of ten pieces dispensing music during the evening. There was a large concourse of people to witness the celebration. Early yesterday th residents in the neighborhood of the engine nouse provided refreshments for the fire laddies, to make the heat of the day more bearable, and at 7 o'clock they gathered in large numbers to witness the ceremonies which had been arranged for. A platform for-speakers had been constructed alongside of the engine house on North Capitol street. The en- gine house was thrown open to the public, and a throng of people inspected the many modern appliances for fighting the fire fiend, as well as the commodious and hand- seme quarters for the accommodation of members of the fire company. The style employed in the engine house, both the ex- terior architecture and the interior pla of the building, mark a new era in the con- struction of engine houses—beauty of de- sign, the finest facilities for the work to Le done and solid comfort for the members of the eompany being provided. “Hail Columbia” Opens Proceedings. The stirring strains of ‘Hail Columbia’ by the band opened the proceedings of the evening. On the platform were seated Chief Parris of the fire department; Wm. G. Henderson, president of the North Capitol and Eckingtcn Citizens’ Asso- ciation; Ha» E. Williams, chatrman of the association's committee on fire and police protection; Rev. Dr. Duncan, pastor of the fckingten Presbyterian Church, besides other prominent citizens. Mr. Williams cpened the ceremonies by congratulating the people of that section of the city upon having secure the con- struction in their midst of the handsome eagine house, and said that the work of getting it had, to a considerable measure, been done by the ci tion rep- resenting that ne’ Ths eight- room pul erected within a square of the engine house, he said, was directly the outcome of the efforts of the association to provide that section of the city with the best im- provements of every kind. He spoke of the br own by the members of the fire department whenever occasion called them out, and said the people in tnat neighbor- hood had determined to present company No. 12 with a set of colors to tloat over the'r new home. The Presentation Speech. Mr. Williams then introduced President Wm. G. Henderson of the association, who made the presentation speech, formally turning over the flags to the company through Chief Parris. Mr. Henderson said the day was a fitting one on which to make a presentation to brave men. Being com- memorative of the heroes of the revolu- tion, it was appropriate to select it as a time to present a set of colors to the brave men who stood ready to risk their lives in saving life and property. In fitting words he further complimented the members of the fire department, and as he passed over some of the colors to Chief Parris, the largest flag of the set was hoisted over the engine house amid cheers. “Three cheers for Old Glory!” shouted some one in the gathering, and the cheers were given with energy. Chief Parris said he was more acc tomed to extinguishing fires than to m ing speeches, but he accepted the gifts on behalf of the new company with appropri- Biol romecelens Rev. Dr. Duncan was then introduce, and made an address that called forth the patriotic sentiments of the gathering. The colors of the flag, he sald, were emblematic of patriotism, truth and purity, and the clustering of stars typified the unity of the nation, which had grown from thirteen to forty-five states. He was frequently inter- rupted by applause, and concluded his re- marks with the cheers of the multitude ringing in his ears. Gave an Exhibition. Chief Parris then ordered an exhibition by the engine company, and great efficiency was shown in the handling of the appara- tus. The great pressure in the water mains in that part of the city permitted the throwing of 450 gallons of water per minute. and streams were cast up and down the street, to the terror of ladies and children at times, as the hose veered about in different directions. At the conclusion of this exhibition a dis- play of fireworks, provided by subscription of the citizens in the neighborhood, was given, under charge of Mr. Bernard Wa- ters. The arrangements for the ceremonies last evening were made by a committee of the association, composed of T. P. Kane, Bernard Waters, A. O. Tingley and T. F. Moore. ighborkood. scheol building shortly to be The Company Roster.

The meeting of the executive committee of the District of Columbia Christian En- deavor Union, held last evening at Calvary Baptist Church, was not so largely attend- ed as usual, owing to the absence from the city of many members. Judge Anson S. Taylor, first vice presi- dent of the union, presided, and the meet- ing was opened with a song service. A telegram, dated Salt Lake, was then read, as follows: “Christian greetings to the executive committee. Read Psalm 148. Miles M. Shand.” Judge Taylor then read Psalm 148 and offered prayer. = The minutes of the last meeting were then read by Assistant Secretary Paul E. Sleman. The treasurer's report showed $27.20 on hand. Reports were received from the correspondence and lookout com- mittee, showing active work accomplished by these committees during the past month. The meeting voted to send the following telegram to the delegation of local Endeav- orers, now on their way to San Francisco to attend the sixteenth international con- vention. “Union sends loving greetings to delegation, wishing them God speed.” The telegram will-oyertake the delegation, on their journey, at Reno, Nevada, this mor; ing, where the party stop for breakfast A message of greeting to the convention wus also ordered sent, the message to be addressed to General Secretary John Wil- lis Baer, and to read as follows: “District of Columbia Endeavorers send hearty Christian greetings to the San Peraeets convention. . Read Zachariah, Judge Taylor stated that he expected to attend the Epworth League convention in Toronto, July 15-18, and would be giad to extend to the convention of Epworth Leaguers the greetings of the District C. E. Union. The meeting voted very hearti- ly that such greetings be extended by Judge Taylor to the Epworth convention. The latter par: of the meeting was spent in prayer for the San Francisco convention, and for the hosts of Erdeavorers now en route to the convention city. The meeting closed with the singing of the: favorite convention hymn, “There is Sunshine in My Soul,” and “America.” The vestry of the church was tastily oe with American flags in honor of AMUSEMENTS. COLUMBIA THEATER.—That very old friend, “A Scrap of Paper,” and a charm- ing new acquaintance, Miss Alberta Galla- tin, joined their efforts to entertain the audience at the Columbia Theater last night. “A Scrap of Paper” is one of the comedies which everybody is supposed to have seen at some time or another; but to take it for granted that everybody has seen it well acted is a different matter—and in that respect the stock company offers in- ducements that are out of the ordinary. The performance had an.adyantage over most of its predecessors in the fact that the material upon which the actors are employed is thoroughly seasoned. And, charming as the sprightly farces have been, the substantial interest which the story of this comedy-classic presents proved a wel- ceme variation. The piece gave to Mr. Ingersoll a chance to impress his abilities such as he has not previously enjoyed dur- ing this engagement, and he used his op- portunity with marked effect. The Colum- bia Stock Company has sct a high stand- ard, and it was gratifying to see that Mr. Ingersoll and Miss Gallatin are qualified to do their shares toward mantaining it. The play has been handicapped in its more re- cent professional exploitations by a com- bination of mediocrity on the stage and un- due acquisitiveness in the box office. Noz- withstanding the prejudice against the Phrase which advertisers in other fields have industriously created, it is proper to state that in this case the public gets “something just as good for less money The entire cast played with an efficiency which demonstrated that its resources are by no means limited to ultra-farcical pro- ductions. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—The last week of the season at Kernan's Ly- ceum Theater was opened last night by the Colored Sports’ City Show, which pre- sented a performance that pleased the lower portion of the large house and de- lighted beyond measure the occupants of the sky parlor. In fact, the galleries were @ part of the show, and drew as much at- tention from the occupants of seats on the lower floor as did the show on the stage. “The Colored Sports’ Reception,” a rather pleasing burlesque, opened the perform- auce, and gave Alf Weather and Billy Jackson some excellent opportunities for, distinguishing themselves, the former in dancing and the latter in his own peculiar line of comedy. Bethel and Jones, a regu- lation negro team, was the first feature in tne olio, in place of the Freeman Sisters, who were iil. Zoe Ball, -serio-comic, fol- lowed, with some pleasing and catchy songs, and Harry Eaton and Alf Weather put up a dancing turn that was a feature. The Bartons, in some exceptionally good work, and Billy Jackson, in a couple of efforts that were funny, and some more that were not, led up to the event of the evening—a cake walk. The contestants in this feature were all above the average, but Bethel and Jones outshone their rivals and carried off the honors. THE CINEMATOGRAPHE.—A regular holiday audience was in attendance vpon the exhibitions of the Cinematographe at Willard Hall yesterday, and all three of the performances of the shadow actors and actresses and scenery were patronized by a crowd that the hot weather could rot keep away. The Cinematograpne is one of the most advanced instruments for the showing of moving photographs, and its aehievements are familiar to nearly all of Washington’s amusement-seekers. The pictures shown include all of the old views that made a hit when the machine was exhibited here early in the season, as well as some new ones that do not fail to ex- cite the admiration they were scheduled to receive. One of the features of the Cinematographe display is the showing of a view backward, or running the films be- fore the light in the opposite direction from that in which they were meant to go. The effect is ludicrous in the extreme and can- not be described. In fact, judging from the applause each picture that is shown this way receives it would be a stroke of policy to run all the pictures in this man- ner. ——— ROW IN FREEMAN'S ALLEY. A Crap Game, a Stabbing Affray and Fourteen Arrests. There was an old-time Fourth of July row in Freeman's alley yestérday after- noon about 3 o’clock,’and John Wallace was badly cut and came near being killed. A game of crap and a quarrel about 20 cents caused the trouble. Joe Anderson, who, it is charged, did the cutting, was arrested by Policeman McDonald. Harry Wallace, brother of the injured man, was also arrested because, it was charged, he drew a pistol and made an effort to shoot Andersen. For a few minutes a scene of the wildest excitement was witnessed by a few die- interested spectators, who had gone into the alley when they heard the row. The men, women and children living in the al- ley, to the number of about twenty, were soon mixed up in the affair, and bricks, tin pans and clubs were flying in the air. Policeman McDonald entered the ulley about this time and placed two of the prin- cipals under arrest. Wallace had been stabbed in the side, and while he lost con- siderable blood and was rather weak ti.cre Was no apparent danger of death. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where his wounds were dressed. The officer learned that Frank Black and Anderson and Wallace were engaged in a game, and Anderson had a 20-cent bet placed. Out of this grew the disturbance. When Anderson had been locke@ up the officer returned to the alley with the mem- bers of the reserve and arrested thirteen men and women and locked them up. To- morrow the case will be heard in the Police Court, and Judge Kimball will determine as to the guilty ones. —_——____ BROOKLAND’S PROGRAM. Patriotic Observance of the Nation’s Birthday in That Suburb. Brookland celebrated Independence day yesterday as patriotically as did any other city in the Union There was no vublic display, as has been formerly, on the site of old Fort Bunker Hill, but the residents made ample noise and show. All day long the grove adjoining the home of Mr. J. B. Lord, sr., was thronged with young and old, the occasion being the annual Fourth of July picnic of the Queenstown Baptist Church. Various ‘amusements were arranged for the chil- dren, and in the afternoon refreshments were served by the ladies of the church. The trees were decorated with flags, and at night there was a display of fireworks. But one accident of any serious nature happened and that was the burning of Robt. Sanders about the face and hands by the explosion of powder. Another accident occurred yesterday to a Brodkland resident, but it was not due to the celebration. Mr. Thomas Moore while riding through the Soldiers’ Home grounds was thrown from his wheel and had his nose broken. He also received some cuts and bruises about the head and body. It seems Mr. Moore was riding in the vi- cinity where the roads are being repaired and his wheel struck some of the material placed there for use in the improvement. ‘The sudden jolt threw him. His wounds were carefully dressed and he was sent In the Soldiers’ Home ambulance to his home in Brookland. —. Resisted Arrest. Turner Whitney is a colored man. He is the possessor of a disposition that could hardly be called springlike and mild. Ac- costing Policeman Sweet yesterday, Turner demanded that the guerdian of the peace place under arrest the wife and daughter of Turner. Just cause being noticeably lacking, compliance with the demand was not forthcoming, and Turner thereupon ex- pressed his opinion of tle police force in general, and Policeman Sweet in particular, in tones loud and penetrating and in words indecent and profane. It is hardly neces- sary to say that Turner, not his wife and daughter, was made a prisoner. For half an hour thereafter matters were very interesting for the policeman. Turner kicked and scratched and bit and fought, and when he was finally landed at the sta- tion house, Sweet was a subject for hos- pital tment. “I didn’t do a thing,” declared Turner, when arraigned today before Judge Kim- ball in the Police Court. “No, I suppose not,” remarked the court. “Nevertheless, unless you a fine of $10 tote led Sana in the work- yuse.’ ‘Turner will be deprived of his Mberty for EXCURSIONS. e The pyrotechnic display at River View last night was becught to rather an ab- rupt end by a spark getting among the rockets and candks that were being fired off from the top f the chute, and setting them off. For about two minutes Capt. Randall and those who were engaged in shooting the fireworks had an interesting time dodging the @yhmg rockets and Roman candle. balls, bat, fortunately, all suc- ceeded in doing se, and no one was hurt. A few bucketsfw ef water extinguished what fire there was deft, and no damage was done the chute: Those who were on tho grounds say that the exhibition, though involuntary, was‘e beautiful one, and far surpassed all pyrotechnic exhibitions of former years. Yesterday was a big day at River View, and wver 2,500 persons visited the View during the day, five round trips being made by the steamer Pentz to tran port the crowd. The fireworks displa: which lasted fully an hour before the ex- plosion, was very handsome, and was greatly enjoyed. Tomorrow will be another of those very pleasant Wednesdays at beautiful River View, and, large throngs are expected to visit the ‘resort. Those who wish to'spend all day at the ‘View will find it cool and shady and an ideal place for a picnic party. Tomorrow the Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 Pp.m., stopping at Alexandria on all trips. The return trips will be made at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. A delightful trip for those who wish simply to take a ride on the river is to take the 6:45 p.m. trip to River View and return on the $ p.m. trip, being home again shortly before 9 o'clock. —+ HOW THE ORPHANS CELEBRATED. Parentless Little Patriots Enjoyed the Fourth of July. When it came to celebrating the Fourth of July the poor little parentless tenants of the various city orphan asylums had nearly as much fun as the more fortunate children. who have papas and mammas. At St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum, on H street, the boys were supplied with an abundance of firecrackers and torpedoes to make the day noisy and pyrotechnics to make the night pretty through the gen- erosity of Mr. William Galt, and after the evening display were treated to an ice cream feast. The boys and girls at the Washington City Orphan Asylum were as patriotic as plentiful supPlies of firecrackers could make them, and as it was visiting day th enjoyed their celebration with their fricnds. There was a musical entertain- ment; a fireworks display, and an tee cream interview in the evening. Not_ less fortunate were the children at the St. John’s Church orphanage. They shot firecrackers all day and in the even- ing were given ice cream by Mrs. Chatard. ee B. and 0. Excursion to Magara Falls via Pittsburg.

E, Mudd, as chairman of the executive committee, call- ed the convention to order, and was unani- mously elected permanent chairman. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Mudd made a brief speech, in the course of which he congratulated the delegates upon the har- mony which, he said, existed in the party, notwithstanding there were numerous can- didates for the smaller offices. The retiring members of the state cen- tral committee, Mesers. S. E. Mud@, Jesse Kelly and Thomas Norman, were re-vlect- ed, and delegates were chosen as follows: To the state convention—S. E.

An attempt was made to introduce a reso- lution indorsing the candidacy of Repre- sentative Mudd for the United States Sen- ate, but the latter would not permit this to be done. State's Attorney Adrian Posey was indorsed as a candidate for associate judge of the circuit. The convention adjourned without mak- ing any norainations for the coanty cffices to be filled at next fall's election, and will meet for that purpose at the oall of the chairman. —_—>——_ Officers for Ensuing Term.

Hill was convicted in Criminal Court No. 2 last week of bigamy, in marrying @ young negro woman here last April, but was declared by the jury to be insane, the testimony during the trial showing that he suffers from epilepsy. Should he re- cover, he would have to submit to the sen- tence. The woman, accused of breaking into the dwelling of Frederick Mertens and robbing it of several hundred dollars’ worth of jewelry, several weeks ago, was declared by a jury in the same court last week not guilty because of insanity, she being addicted to the morphine habit. She is the.woman whose charges against War- den Leonard were declared by the District = Court last Friday to be ground- jess. The commitment of the vrisoners to the insane asylum was made by an order of the Sceretary of the Interior, their insan- ity having been certified to him by the Dis- trict Supreme Court. —__ FINEST IN THE CITY. Chinatown’s Display of Fireworks in Honor of the Fourth. “Chinatown” was in its glory last night, and tne celestials had far more enjoyment than they had experienced since they ccl- ebrated the Chinese new year. Hundreds of dollars’ worth of fireworks were ex- ploded, and the display was no doubt the finest in the city. All day long the celes- tials spent their time selling their stock to their American friends, and after, dark they began enjoying themselves. They ex- ploded everything they had in the line of fireworks, from the cheap article to the most costly set pieces, and concluded the day’s event by burning a string of sev- eral thousand of the most noisy. when the celebration had ended the Chinamen gathered in the hotel and about the stores, and enjoyed the substantials of life. One of them was seen to leave his place of business carrying a big tin bucket, and it developed that he had contracted the habit of “rushing the growler.” Moy Sop Gow, a laundryman at No. 3d street, was among those who enjoyed the ceiebration, and when he returned to his laundry he was surprised to find that burglars had visited his place and taken $23. Very much excited Moy rushed around to police headquarters and le complaint. The case was investigated by Detective Weedon and Precinct Detective Hariigan. A woman who lives in the house over the laundry says she saw three colored men at the laundry door. ss =) Accused of Embezzlement. Detectives Carter and Gallaher arrested William Harris, a young colored man, this morning, and locked him up for the theft of a $ bill belonging to C. T. Carter, the hardware dealer. Harris was sent out to collect the money and when he got it he treated some friends, and then went to Baltimore on an excursion. There he said he was robbed of what he had left and returned home. Now he is anxious to know what Judge Kimball is going to do with him.
