WILLIAM JOHN'S DILEMMA Miscalculated the Expense of a Stunning Bridal Tour, Last $2 Bill Spent for a Hack—Officer Frank to the Rescue—Sad, but Wiser. William John Boardman and Sallie W. Bryant, who live in East Richmond, Va., came here yesterday on an afternoon train. Sallie had her name changed from Bryant to Boardman by the Rev. J. J. Mutr, and the happy couple, wholly ig- norant of the responsibilities of married Ife, spent their last $2 for carriage hire, and then the destitute husband appealed to the police for ald. When the young husband and wife reached the Baltimore and. Potomac de- pot just before the departure of the Rich- mond train, the former related his woes to an officer. He and his wife were stran- gers in @ strange place, he said, and werc without money enough to pay for some- thing to eat. The policeman could do nothing for them other than send them to the police station for the night and ask Sanitary Officer Frank for transportation home this morn- ing. But he did not like the idea of see- ing them spend the first night of their honeymoon in @ station, and so he called at the Howard House and told the clerk of the predicament in which they were found. Hotel Clerk's Sympathy. “I won't see them suffer for a place to sleep tonight,” said the hotel clerk, “nor shall they go hungry.” He gave them a room and fed them, and this morning William John, dressed in his wedding garments, was ushered into the office of Sanitary Officer Frank at po- lice headquarters. And William John will never forget this visit, for he heard more good, sound, com- mon sense in the form of advice from the sanitary officer than he had ever heard before, probably, in all his life. The story of the applicant for a free ride on the railroad was a short but sad one. He had saved $11 of his earnings In a Richmond paper mill to spend on the event of his life, and he had pictured a bridal tour that would eclipse anything of the ‘kind in which his fellow-employes had ever figured. Dreams of Grandeur. A trip to the nation’s capital was plan- ned, and, although it was to be a brief one, he knew his Sally would enjoy it. They would visit the big house on the hill and hear tariff speeches, see the President and perhaps Speaker Reed. They would, in short, inspect all places of public interest, and do the town in style. When they reached the depot in Rich- mond the peospective groom had that $11 in his pocket. It required the expenditure of $7 for two tickets to bring them here. Round-trip tickets would have cost more than he nad. They would have no trouble getting back, so Willlam John said to him- self. “I'll pawn my watch,” he said, in a tone not loud enough for ‘Saily to hear, and along they came and were made one. ‘The license cost him $1, and when he had given ancther dollar to the minister he had a solitary $2 bill left, and this money he paid the hackman. He’ was then penniless. nitary Officer Frank, after giving Wil- liam John the good advice referred to, sup- plied him with tickets to take his wife and himself home. —_+—___ EXCURSIO) The sail down the Potomac on the Nor- fclk and Washington steamers to Fortress Monroe and Norfolk and the ocean sail to New York on the Old Dominion Line steamships constitute an ideal means of reaching any of the summer resorts in New York and New England. Steamers Norfolk, Washington or Newport News leave 7th street wharf every evening in the year at 7 o'clock and reach Fortress Monroe and Norfolk early the following morning, where the Old Dominion steamers are bearded for the sail to New_York. Tickets by this route give passengers the privilege of stopping off at Fortress Monroe, Vir- ginia Beach and Ocean View, and also of going to or from New York by rail, if so desired. A joint excursion to River View will be given by Henry Wilson Post, No. 1 R. G. A. and Gen. Wm. F. Barry Garrison, No. Regular Army and Navy Union, next Friday. The Pentz will make her usual trips, and, besides the regular amusements, there will be the pupils of Miss Sprosser's Dancing Academy. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the relief fund of the two soldier organizations, and it 1s expect- ed that the attendance will be very large. The surf bathing at Ocean City, Md., is superb. The beach is ideal, with its long stretch of firm, velvety sand, sloping so gradually that there is no perceptible un- dertow. Still water bathing may be en- Joyed in Sinepuxént bay, directly back of Ocean City, by those too delicate to in- dulge in the surf. Fishing, boating and numerous other attractions usually found at first-class resorts make Ocean City, Md., @ very attractive place at which to spend Sunday. Special train leaves B. and O. depot every Saturday at 3 p.m., arriving at Ocean City at 7:30, and leaving Sunday at 9:55 p.m. The steamer Jane Moseley will make spe- cial trips to Colonial Beach Saturday even- ing at 6 o'clock and Sunday and Monday at 9 a.m. The Jane Moseley is fast, well appointed and in every way first-class and safe, and the sail of 136 miles on the river is delightful in the extreme. At the Beach salt water bathing, fishing, crabbing and boating may be indulged 4n without stint, besides the numberless other attractions to be found at that popular resort. The hotel at the Beach is now open, under new man- agement, and will supply all the needs of excursionists, especially those who make the trip Saturday evening and stay over night. A special excursion to Virginia Heach, Va., will be given Saturday evening, under the direction of N. Dushane Cloward. The trip will be made by the Norfolk and Washirgton Steamboat Line, and special rates will be charged. The excursion will include one day at the finely appointed hotel, the Princess Anne, at Virginia Beach. The round-trip fare is $6, although, if Lut one meal is taken at the hotel, the fare will be $4.50. The same excursion was given last Saturday evening and a large number of persons were disappointed in not se- curing state rooms on account of the crowd. In order to avoid this disappointment those desiring to make the trip can secure tick- ets and state rooms at once through N. Stein, at the Columbia Theater, or of N. Dushane Cloward, special agent. Virginia Beach fs in all its glory at this season of the year and is well worth a trip. The annual excursion of the National Rifles will take place tonight at, Marshall Hall, and all the friends—and they are legion—of this organization are cordially invited to be present with the command on this occasion. The Rifles always have an immense crowd and the jolliest kind of a time on these annual outings, and there seems to be no good reason why tonight's trip should be any exception to the rule that has prevailed in past seasons. The Macalester will make her regular trip to Marshall Hall and Indian Head to- morrow night, as well as Friday and Sat- urday evenings. These trips are always en- Joyable, and are always patronized in a way that shows at a glance thelr popu- larity. The three trips a week will be in order throughout the months of August and September. The quiet and restfulness of Marshall Hall has been restored after the shake-up it received on the Fourth or rather bth, and there fs no spot on the river where so much genuine rest and com- fort may be found. Several new attrac- tions have been added to the already long list at the Hall, and parties visiting this place or resort will never be at a loss for something to ——— their time. The din- ing room ts splendidly equipped, is under new management and fully prepared to serve an excellent meal in the best of style. There is also a cozy, well-appointed cafe on the “Mac.” to the Seashore $5.00 sylvania Railroad. On Fridays and Saturdays Suene July and August tickets will be sold for 11 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. trains to Atlantle City, Cape May and Isle City, good to return until the following » at rate of $5.00.— Advertisement. BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL Officers Elected Last Evening for the Ensu- ing Bix Months. Arraignment of D. A. 66 for Alleged Bad Faith—Resolutio: Condem ing Col. Bingham—A Protest. The weekly meeting last evening of the Building Trades Council, which was held at Electrical Workers’ Hall, was one of great interest. President William Silver occupied the chair and Mr. J. M. Boyce officiated as secretary. Officers for the ensuing six months were chosen, as follows: President, William Sil- ver (re-elected); vice president, J. A. Rob- inson; secretary, J. M. Boyce (re-elected); treasurer, Andrew Murray (re-elected); sergeant-at-arms, Moses Peyton; reporter (@ new office), J. P. Healy. Contract com- mittee, J. P. Healy, J. J. Crowley, Richard Lanis. Credentials of delegates from’ the Elec- trical Workers, Steam Fitters and Amal- gamated Wood Workers were received and the delegates obligated. The council committee, which is co-op- erating with similar committees from the Central Labor Union and local Federation of Labor, in arrangements for the proposed Cuban mass meeting, reported the proceed- irgs of the last meeting of the joint com- mittee, and also the refusal of D. A. 66, Knights of Labor, to participate. The charge was made also that there was an attempt upon the part of a prominent member of the order of the Knights of La- bor to have the committee locked out from their place of meeting Saturday evening last. Charge of Bad Faith. After the report of the committee was discussed, resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote as the sentiment of the Building Trades Council on the subject. The resolutions set forth that “The holding of a meeting under the auspices of the organized workingmen of this city, favora- ble to Cuban independence, having orig- irated with D. A. 66, Knights of Labor, which, through a committee, requested the co-operation of the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council, the repre- sentative bodies of the trades union or- ganizations of the District of Columbia, and these bodies, always willing to aid and further any measure which appeals to the patriotism, honesty and manhood of the Wage workers, cheerfully responded, «1d appointed committe2s to co-operate with D, A. 66 to arrange for a demonstration. “Actuated, however, by a hatred to trade unionism, D. A. 66 refused to co-operate and fraternize; and as that body is seri- ously affected with internal dissensicns, which are hastily tending toward its dis- integration, which demonstrates the char- acter of the organization as being normally discordant, selfish and vicious, to such an extent that the legitimate unton organiza- ticns,as represented in the Building Trades Council, cannot co-operate. “Therefore, it was resolved that the trade union organizations proceed to arrange for a meeting of wage workers, at as early a date as possible, at which will be demon- strated their sympathy for the struggling Cubans and their loyalty to every principle of patriotism and fair dealing.” Col, Bingham Criticised. Exception wes taken by a number of those present to the language used by Col. Bingham, superintendent of public build- 8 and grounds, in revoking the permit issucd by him for a meeting in the White Lot, intended to be held under the aus- pices of working people of the District, a io «xpress their sympathy for the Cuban cause, and resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting were adopted without dissent. The resolutions were to the effect that “the joint labor committee eppointed to arrange for a Cuban mass meeting having been given a permit by Col. Bingham, U. 8. A., to hold the same on the Monument grounds, and after such permission was granted it’ was revoked by Col. Bingham in an offensive way, he hav- ing used In a communtcaticn to the joint committee language which was insulting, in so far as that he stated he had noti- fied the police authorities of his action in the matter, which is regarded us being an implication that the organized labor of the District of Columbia meditated an infrac- tion of the law, and required police sur- veillance, it was declared that such lan- guage is considered as being highly dis- courteous, and would not have been ad- dressed to any body of citizens other than those of the laboring class, and the Build- ing Trades Council therefore resents the Implied insult, and directs that the fore- going statement be given to the press.” After considerable favorable comment on the new building regulations, recently pro- mulgated by the District Commissioners, and printed in The Star, the council unan- imously indorsed the same. Convict Labor, The proposition of Warden Leonard to employ convict labor in making improve- ments at the District jali was severely censured, and the secretary was directed to file a protest against the same, with the Attorney General, prosecuting attorney and the court. A special committee was also appointed to call on the proper au- thorities and protest against the carrying of Warden Leonard's plan into effect. It was stated that the trades- union or- ganization are fully determined to defeat Warden Leonard in this matter, and that, if necessary, Congress and the American Federation of Labor will be appealed to for assisiance. —_— Few Cities in This Country can boast of having so complete a carpet cleaning establishment as that of the Em- pire Carpet Cleaning Works, 631-35 Mass. ave.

AMUSEMENTS, “INNOCENT AS A LAMB."—James Bar- rows, who has had enough experience in playing bad old men while with the Colum- bia Stock Company to last him all the rest of his life and make him a cause of jealous terror to his wife for ever after, is cast for the role of the Lamb in Walter Craven's “Innocent as a Lamb” next week. Con- trary to its name the role, which was origi- nally played by that unique comedian, Ro- land Reed, is as strong a type for worldli- ness as even Barrows could wish for, and the qualities of the gentle beast are only poesessed on the exterior by the man who professes to imitate it. The play itself is as good a substitute for laughing gas as has ever been seen in this city. In spite of the powerful booming of Reed’s other plays, not one of them has ever achieved the po- sition in popular regard of “Innocent as a Lamb.” To see it without laughing proved an impossibility, and, as the public have al- ways been noted for their love of humor, the piece was immediately installed as a prime favorite. It cannot he sald to be a novelty, as it embraces all the older points of farce, but one enjoying its complications, which for ingenuity really rival the serious ones of Stanley Weyman, never has a mo- ment in which to decide whether thie scene or that is old or not. The character draw- ing is as good as the plot and the situa- tions it affords. The Lamb is as droll a character as ever walked the stage, and his efforts to appear innocent are truly ludicrous. Barrows’ experience in those reles should make this one fit him like a glove. The other parts will be quite as Well filled, William Boag, Geoffrey Stein, William Ingersoll, Bert Thayer, William Winter Jefferson, Alberta Gallatin, Grayce Scott*and Pearle Evelynne all being in the cast. A big week may be looked forward to. GLEN ECHO.—Glen Echo-on-the-Poto- mac efforde the residents of Washington a most delightful place in which to spend a few hours orall day. The Fadettes of Bos- ton, @ sterling concert organization, give a popular concert every afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and every evening at 8 o'clock. The scenery around Glen Echo is probably the most picturesque along the banks of the Potomac in that region and is well worth a trip outside of the other attractions one vided for at this favored spot.

Which May ProveFatal. ———. Contention Over Fessession of-a Ball Ground tite Gause—Hurtey is Stil af Large. + There was a @iffigalty between whites and blacks on the big lot near North Cap- itol street and New?York avenue yester- day, and last night the police had a case of. prospective murder on their hands. Timothy Hurley is the name of a white man who was badly wanted, while the col- ored man, who was unconscious and al most dead, was Thomas Gorham. Althqugh. the officers: were engaged in @ search for Murderer Dorsey Foultz, sev- eral of them were spared to go after Hur- ley, but he kad followed Poultz’s example, and had gome where the police could not find him. ‘A base bali bat, and not a: pistol or knife, was the weapon uséd in this-ease, and the blow was inflicted across the-forehead with such foree that the colored“man’s’ skull was fractured. The assault was committed in a large open lot, which is used by both whites and blacks as common ground. It has always been understood that possession was all that was necessary to claim the right of ‘Way, and yesterday a party of colored peo- ple were first on the ground. They were engaged in a game of croguet when the white base ball playegs arrived and in- sisted on taking possession of the grounds.’ Declined to Rétire. The colored people were not disposed to give up their rights, and they proceeded to argue the question. This plan did not seem to satisfy the contestants. It was not an argument, but the lot that. was wanted, and each side seemed to be determined to hold it by fair or foul means. Thomas Gorham acted as spokesman for the colored delegation, and when some one. threatened violence Gorham said he would use his mallet. “You will “I guess no’ Just then, the witnesses say, Tim Hurley, who is a big man, approached Gorham and dealt him the blow across his forehead. This was followed by the hasty exit of the white ball players. Gorham fell to the ground. An ugly cut had beer sustained by the colored man, and he lost a considera- ble amount of blood. Instead of pursuing the m«n who had inflicted the injury, Gor- ham’s colored companions gathered about him, and did all they could to relieve him until the arrival of the patrol wagon, and then he was taken to Freedmen’s Hospital. The physicians saw at a glance that the injury was a serious one. Police Were Prompt. The police at the second precinct, re- membering their bad luck in the Foultz case, started after Hurley without any de- lay. Policemen McDonald and Cooper were detailed to devote their time and attention to the case, but Hurley, who is well known, was not to be found about his usual haunts. His friends labored as hard to shield him as did the friends of Gorham to save the latter's life. Soon after reaching the hospital Gorham regained consciousness, and was able to explain to the doctors just how the affair happened. This morning the patient’s con- dition was slightly improved, and his sailant was still at large. = FOR ‘TRENTON. questioned one of the whites. OFF A Batch of Conviets Start for th New Jersey Prison.

Capital Railway Charter Said to Con- fer Discretion: ry Powers Upon District Commi It 1s safe to predict there will be no overhead trolley in Washington during the administration of the present board of Commissioners, if they have anything to do with it. Yesterday for the first time the question permitting an overhead trolley where the law seemed to give them the discretion came up, and was as promptly voted down. “It came through an application of the Capitai Railway Compary for permission to run an overhead trolley across the Ana- costia bridge. Charter Provision. Section 2 of the act amending the char- ter of the Capital Railway Company pro- vides: “That the motive power to be used on the lines in this act specified shall be the underground electric system within the city of Washington and the overhead trol- ley system eutside the city of Washing- ton. For crossing the Navy Yard bridge the said company may, in the discretion of the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbla, use elther horse power or the un- derground electric system to propel its cars; and the said company shall have the privilege of carrying an electric cur- rent across the said Navy Yard bridge in such manner as the said Commissioners of the District of Columbia shall prescribe.” It was under this discretionary clause that application was made. When the mat- ter was called up yesterday afternoon at a late session of the board it was seen at once that there was a division of opin- fon. Commissioner Ross was in favor of granting the company at least a temporary Permit, but Commissioners Wight and Black were unalterably opposed to it. They said it is understood that the applicatior meant the entering wedge of the trolley into Washington, and they wouid not vote Ss. ator McMillan’s Opinion. Commissioner Ross thought the law granted the Commissioners discretion, and to satisfy himself he communicated by telephone with Senator McMillan. The lat- ter, it is understood, replied that while he would personally like to see the Com- missioners favor the new company, he thought the law would not permit of such construction. ° ‘This being communicated. to the board, there was nothing left to do but vote down the application. One of the strongest objections to the permit came from the engineer depart- ment. They all believed an overhead trol- ley on the bridge would endanger the structure, and strongly recommended against the permit. ——. _— If you went anything, try an ad. in The Star.
