The residents throughout “Northern Lib- erty” are greatly wrought up over the re- moval of the pump and the filling up of the well located on 5th street between I and K streets northwest. Since the oldest inhab- itant can remember this well has yielded a sparkling, cold water, which has been a boon to the neighborhood in which it is lo- cated, especially in hot weather, and when the Potomac river water resembles a muddy lemonade. It has had the additional virtue of being known as a valuable lithia water, containing more lithia than does the famous Buffalo water, and similar to that which is sold at 25 cents a gallon from a private spring not more than 100 feet from it. It was regarded as a specific. for many complaints the body is heir to by thousands of people who resorted to it, and no family remedy of long standing had a more wel- come place in the household than did the water from the 5th street pump. arth Dumped 1 Yesterday morning the people of ‘‘North- ern Liberty” were astonished to see men from the engineer department of the Dis- trict government take the pump out and proceed to dump about fifteen loads of earth in the well. The news spread with as much rapidity as if an invading army had been discovered in the neighborhood, and this morning many of those interested in maintaining the crystal water in their midst were trying to get up a movement to petition the Commissioners to restore the pump. There were also rumors that the well had been abandoned in the interest of the owner of the nearby private well, from which water is sold all over the city. A Star reporter called on Capt. Burr of the engineer department today for infor- mation in respect of the closing of the well. Capt. Burr explained that the opposition to the closing of wells 1s so great that no such action is taken without a thorough test of the water by two chemists, acting independently, and the receipt of their joint report that it is contaminated and danger- ous to health. Such reports regarding the 5th street well have been made by A. W. Dow of the engineer department and J. D. Hird, chemist of the health office, the lat- ter being especially opposed to the aban- donment of wells until analysis of the water gives the most ample proof of its impurity. Third Time in Three Years. Mr. Dow stated in his report, dated July 10, 1897, that that was the third time in three years he had recommended the clos- ing of the 5th street well, while Mr. Hird reported that he found the water by an- alysis to be contaminated. Both chemists rted the water to be odorless and color- Ieee, but beth, agreed that it contained sewage bacteria, which is the advance agent of typhoid fever. “As the well was quite a shallow one, the health department regarded any attempt to protect the water from contamination as futile. The report of the health de- partment for 18% also rates the private ring from which water is being sold as ous—sewage bacteria,” and it is stood a recommendation has been ude to the Commissioners that it be No Trace of Lithia. While the Sth street well undoubtedly ccntained lithia in large quantities a few years ago, an examination of it made by Prof. Hird last year failed to find any trace of it. This he accounted for on the theory that the rocks contributing lithia to the water may have been worn away, or he water contained lithia only at times when the pyessure of the .derground stream forced it against rocks aining lithla, which were not touched when the pressure was lower.

A CHANGE OF BILL—There fs to be a change of bill at the New National Theater. With tonight's performance of ‘Where Are We At,” this comedy will give place to one of the early successes of the comedy sea- sons. Mr. Bond and his company will re- vive for Thursday and Friday evening the exceedingly amusing farcical comedy “Betsy,” which was one of the pronounced hits of the first season of comedy, and will be well remembered by the patrons of the New National who witnessed it four years ago. Mr. Bond and his present company recently presented this laughable comedy in Loutsville, so that a perfect performance may be looked for. Miss Maude Haslam will assume the title role, in which she is afforded opportunity to display the his- trionic ability with which she is gifted. Mr. Maclyn Arbuckle will be assigned the part of a character old man, and, of course, a good performance may be expect- t. Mr. Bond's performance of the professor will be too well remembered to require any advance encomiums in these columns. Altogether, a delightful evening's entertainment may be confidently anticipated. At the Saturday Vhere Are We At” will be re- vived for one performance. For Saturday evening a special double bill has been pro- vided, which will be announced later. Seats for any performance may now be obtained at the box office. MARQUIS OF MICHIGAN.—“The higan,” the new farce by n gh and E. W. Townsend, which Manager E. Rosefibaum will present for the first time on any stage next Mon- day night at the Columbia Theater, is a American bit of fun-making. The y ts one which could occur only in this country, and every character in it is drawn } from contemporary American Ife. Plays by Glen MacDonough and E. W. Townsend have scored successes in Washington dur- ing recent theatrical seasons, and their work is well known here. “The Prodigal Father” and “Delmonico’s at Six.” by Mr. MacDonough, and “Chimnile Fadden,” by Mr. Townsend, were particularly well re- ceived by Washingtonians. The cast is an all-star one, and includes Geo. Nash, Miss Marion Gtronx, Mr. Chas. Jackson, Miss Eva Davenport, Mr. George Barnum, Miss Sadie Stringham, Mr. Robert Paton Gibbs, Miss Ethel Mollison, Mr. Geo. Green, Miss Alice Pixley and Miss Flora Wildmere. The play will be produced under the stage direction of Mr. Wm. H. Post, and the management persuaded Manager Rosen- baum to allow the same popular prices to remain that prevailed during the summer season of the stock company at that house. ‘The sale of seats and boxes opens tomor- row morning. GLEN ECHO’S NEW ATTRACTIONS.— The attractions for Glen-Echo-on-the-Po- tomac next week include the famous Bos- ton Lady Orchestra in new and popular se- lections; Byron G.

Another popular family excursion at reduced rates will be given Friday, the boat leaving at the usual hour. The Jane Moseley is one of the largest, fastest and safest boats on the river, and is fitted up with an especial reference to the length of the trip to Colonial Beach. The furnishings include some of the most comfortable furniture, and almost every- thing to be found that could possibly add to convenience or pleasure. The trip down is sixty-eight miles, but the run is made in a very short time, and ample allowance is made to allow excursionists to enjoy the good things offered at Colonial Beach. The ride down the river is one of unusual at- tractiveness. All the historic points be- tween Washington and Colonial Beach— and there are more of them than can be pointed out—are in full view, and it is the general opirtion at the end of the trip that the ride has been too short. At Colonial Beach are to'be found bathing, fishing,crab- bing, boating, and, in fact, all the amuse- ments usually to be found at an excursion resort, and a number amply sufficient to Keep the busiest employed during tho boat's stay. The trip down Saturday even- ing is perhaps the most enjoyablethat is offered by the Moseley. The start is made at 6:30 o'clock, and the boat passes through the most beautiful part of the river just at twilight. The ride at this time must be taken in order to be appre- ciated. The Moseley is fitted up with an excellent cafe that is guaranteed to give satisfaction. One thing which has done much to make Ocean City, Md., the popular summer re- sort is the ease with which it can be reached from this city. Special cars are attached to the New York express, which leaves the Baltimore and Ohio ‘station every Saturday at 3 p.m., going as far as Bay Ridge, where the steamer !s taken for an hour's’ sail down the Chesapeake to Claiborne, thence by rail to Occan City, the entire trip ccnsuming but four and one- half hours. The return train reaches this city Sunday at 10 p.m. Ocean City is di- rectly on the Atlantic, and enjoys the rep- utation of having the finest bathing and fishing on the coast. The special cxcur- sions every Saturday have been unusually well patronized so far this season, and as Sunday gives promise of being another hot day, it is expected that a large crowd will take advantage of the reduced rates. One of the most desirable trips is the special excursion next Saturday to Fort- ress Monroe, Virginia Beach and Ocean View on the elegant steamers of the Nor- folk and Washington Line. For this trip the regular fare has been reduced, tickets being good to return on Sunday evening, August 1. The Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company, in connection with the Old Dominion Line, also operates a daily all-water service between this city and the great metropolis. Round-trip tick- ets give travelers the privilege of stopping off at Fortress Monroe and also of going to or from New York by rail. Steamers leave 7th_street wharf every evening in the year at 7 o'clock, arriving at Norfolk and Fort- ress Monroe early the following morning. ‘The National Union, Cabinet of the Dis- trict of Columbia, will make an excursion to Marshall Hall this evening. The Mac- alester will leave at 6:30 sharp. Several features will be provided at the Hall for the entertainment of the guesis. There will be a cake walk by fourteen artists, led by Prof. Peter Barnes; fancy da.cing by Miss Gertrude Ferguson and fancy bi- eycle riding by Mr. Myron Baker.

Superintendent Stevens of the Washing- ton bathing beach has Been importuned to modify the recent order setting apart cer- tain eventrgs exclusively for the ladies. The request came im the form of a petition, pleading in the mame of the children, against the proposed restriction. The appeal and the superintendent’s re- ply explain themselves; the first being as follow: “We, the undersigned, our chiltren and friends, having enjoyed And been benefited greatly by the opportunities for swimming and bathing granted us by your kindness and energy, do now: beg that you will not take from us one-half of them (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings) at the time we need them so much. We have al- ways respected, and always will respect, the privacy of the ladies’ portion of the beach, and hope that you will allow us still a portion of privilege for ourselves, even in those cvenings, the evening being the only time that the employed man has to himself.” To this Mr. Stevens makes the following reply: “The above petition has eighty-five sign- ers, and it would be extremely agreeable to me to be able to grant their request, but as an excuse fer this and seme other of its shortcomings, the beach has to plead poverty. The mew floats made this year have board floors. One is three feet deep and the other four fect deep, both entirely surrounded by fences, so that it is im- possible to get from them into deep water accidentally. “They are a great success, being always filled, whether it is in ladies’ Kours or public hours, and we have but one set of such appliance: “The dressing houses are located along aisles, between which there is no eonnec- tion at the further end, and by assigning to the ladies the first rows and to gentle- men the turther rows, all who have thus far patronized the beach at one time in tie hours set apart for ladies have been prop- erly accommodated, and, on this plan, all who are likely to come this year can be accommodated. But when you ask us to throw the beach doors open to the public on ladies’ days you probably forget the noisy street gamins and the impudent star- ing loafers who cannot then be excluded. I am not yet prepared to invite the ladies of Washington to participate in such a pro- gram. “Loud hallooing, ducking and all rough sports are prohibited by positive order of the Commissioners, but if a boy could not yeli a dozen times to somebody away up on shore to watch the scientific dive he is going to make, nor the crowd deliver a Co- manche warwhoop when that dive proves to be a splash like a volcanic cruption, the bathing beach would sink Into oblivion. 80 long as good humor prevails there is no harm in hilarity and noise, unless a cry of distress should thus be concealed. In this respect it is very trying to the life guards, but they soon acquire an acuteness of per- ception that distinguishes between a cry of alarm and the babel of other sounds, and their prompt action saves lives nearly every day. A degree of propriety is here demanded of every oue to which the street gamins and loafers are elsewhere strangers, So the influence of the beach tends not only to bodily health, but to a higher moral standard. “Ladies who once try the beach become regular and enthusiastic attendants, and I shali do everything in my power to render it attractive and convenient to them. As our plan is different from that practiced elsewhere, we have to feel owr way what experimentally, and our experience has thus far ripened into a large measure of success. Over 700 bathers were accom- modated after 2 o'clock Sunday, and the whole number of entries thus far this sea- son is over 32,000. So long as the appro- priation holds out, ladies’ mornings will be continued Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 to 10 o'clock, and we will try a com- promise by giving the ladies Tuesday and ‘Thursday evenings from 4:30 to sunset. “All other hours, excepting lunch time, from 10 a.m. on week days and from 7 a.m. on Sund: until the closing hour, will be open to the public.” LOCAL LABOR MATTERS. Proceedings of Building Trades Coun- ¢ cil and Other Bodtes. The weekly meeting evening of the Building Trades Council was attended by the representatives of ten organizations. President William Silver was in the chair and Mr. J. M. Boyce served as secretary. The delegates from the Bricklayers’ Union notified the council that the former. organization would parade on Labor day, and invited all the unions connected with the council to participate. It was decided to select rival teams who will engage in various contests and games on Labor day, and the council decided to formally challenge teams from the Central Labor Union. The financial secretary submitted his re- port for the quarter. This showed the council to be in a good condition. The re- port was accepted. The principal matter discussed at the meeting last evening of tne local Federa- tion of Labor was the letter of Gov. At- kinson of West Virginia, printed in a num- ber of papers witiin the past few days, in which the members of the federation were denounced for passing resol ns of cen- sure on the former for his alleged position toward the striking miners in his state, and a committee was appointed to prepare a suitable reply. 5 It is understood that the Central Labor Union will, at its nex: meeting, publish an official statement showing that it was in no way responsinle for the utterances of the local body here which passed resolu- tions condemniag oy. Atkinson of West Virginia for his course during the present strike. It is considered by icading members of the Central Labor Union that this ac- tion is necessary, because the governor has, in their opinion, become eonfused in his understanding of the situation here, and the impression has been made on his mind that it was the American Federation of Labor, whose headquarters are in W: ington, which passed the objectiona>le resolutions, whereas it was the local fed- eration, which is not affiliated at all with the American Federation of Labor. It is stated that no union organization in the city which is allied with the American Federation of Labor were parties to the resolutions referred to. 4 ee $10 To Ningara Falls and Return $10 via Pennsylvania Railroad.

Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, holds its annual election of officers today between 1 and 7 p.m. Polls are op2n at Typegraphical Temple, where the members of the secretary’s chapel will vote.

William Fugua, colored, and Charles Johnson, white, were today sent to the workhouse for ninety days each by Judge Mills, in default of $100 bonds, on the charge of vagrancy. The testimony devel- oped that Fugua has been going around among colored people in Washington and representing himself as a detective, by which means he was able to badly frighten some of them. Johnson got the same sen- tence as Fugua because, as Judge Mille said, he was found in Fugua’s company. r Union— Absolutely Pure ETC.
