The meteorological summary for the rronth of July, from observations taken at Erace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M streets, by Professor M. F. Burrows, shows the maximum temperature of the month to have been 9% degrees, occurring the 2d, 6th and 23d. The minimum temperature was 59 degrees, which occurred the 15th. This weuld give a monthly range of temperature of 34 degrees. The greatest daily range of the thermometer for any day occurred the 15th and 23d, being 27 degrees, while the leest dally range was 10 degrees, occurring the 1st. The mean monthly temperature was 75.6 degrees. ‘The rainfail for the month was rather ex- cessive, the total being 5.88 inches, making a daily average of nineteen one-hundredths of an inch of rain. There were sixteen days upon which one one-hundredth of en inch or more of rain fell. Thunder storms occurred each of five days. During the month there were eleven fair days, ten clear ones and ten cloudy days. The pre- vailing direction of the wind was from the northwest. Frederick Weishaupt of the canal boat D. N. Sloane was arrested last evening by Policeman Passeno and charged with as- sault and battery. The arrest was made upon a warrant sworn out by Martin Smith, the captain of the canal boat, who is also the father-in-law of the prisoner. On the trip down, it is alleged, Weishaupt caused more or less commotion on the boat, threatening to kill all haads, and beating his mother-in-law in a snameful manner. After the arrest of Weishaupt, the mothe: in-law and the father-in-law proceeded to get hilarious by indulging in the use of liquor. The woman became so demonstra- tive and profane that she was arrested by Policeman Passeno, on a charge of disor- derly conduct, and locked up in a cell 2d- joining that of her son-in-law. Shortly be- fore midnight old man Smith was arreszed by the same policeman on a minor charze, while this morning the daughter swore out a warrant against the mother, charging her with assault and battery. In the Police Court today the charge against the son-in-law was dismissed, the court holding that he did right to protect wife from the wrath of her mother. ‘ne charge of assault against the mother resulted in the perscnal bonds of the de- fendant being taken. The old man was made to pay a fine of $5, and the old wo- man, for disorderly conduct, went down for fifteen days, in default of payment of a fine of $5. This ended the trouble. Mrs. Nellie G. Nicholson of 2010 M street left this morning for a stay of one month at Oakland, Ma. Messrs.

Channing Files a Suit Against Stock Brokers. A suit in equity, asking the canceling of certain notes, the appointment of a receiver and an injunction, has been filed in the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia by Florence J. Channing against Macdonald. Bullock & Co. and the American Security and Trust Company. Macdonald, Bullock & Co. are sued as stock hrokers, having certain moneys and holding certain chatteis and personal prop- erties belongiggz to the complainant. For some time ad the latter says, she has been a customer of the firm, “buying and selling various stocks, whereby neither party at the time of making the contracis of buying and selling aforesaid intended to deliver or accept the stock, but merely to pay differences thereon or margins, ac- cording to the rise or fall of the stock market.” ; Although she has repeatedly requested e firm to give her an itemized account of her dealings with it, says the complain- ant, the members have refused to do so, and have from time to time put her off upon various pretexts, among others, upon the ground that they were too busy so to do, unless she paid for an accounting from their books. For that reason, she explains, she is unable to state with definiteness the amount cf money which she has paid into the concern, for which she has received no alue or property whatsoever, but the money so paid aggregates a large amount. In addition, continues the complainant, the firm has in its possession certain cha tels and_ personal property, including dia- mond rings, sunbursts. sapphires, brace- lets, chains and other jewelry, “that could not be replaced for less than $3,000, but have a greater value to her than any mon- ey value that could be put upon them, be- ing heirlooms and gifts from relatives.” The jewelry mentioned was placed in the hands of the firm, the complainant states, as collateral to secure differences or mar- gins. She was by various devices and tricks of the firm, she adds, kept in ignor- ance of the actual state of the market, and the firm prevented communication between her and her frends over the telephone from its office as to the state of the mar- ket, as to when she should buy and sell, and thereby caused her great loss, as she believes, more than the amount of money that the firm claims she ever was indebted to it, and more than she had intrusted in its hand. After ting in detail a number of trans- actions with the firm the complainant goos en to say that she has been notified that the firma proposes to sell the jewelry be- cause of her alleged non-payment of cer- tain notes for which the coliateral was posted. With the exception of $55 she never received anytning of value for the note: she says, and the firm is not entitled to hold them. In conclusion the complainant recites that since October, 18%, the firm has received from Fer at least $500, which it has used cr pretended to have used up in margins or differences on stocks charged t her, none of which were ever de- livered or intended to be delivered by either party. The complainant, therefore, asks that the court Geclare the collateral notes null and void; that the jewelry be ordered delivered to her; that while the suit is pending a re- ceiver be appointed to take charge of the preperty; that the defendants be restrain- ed from disposing of the property, and that the firm be required a pay over all sums received from her on account of differen or margins on stock dealings. ‘The American Security and Trust Com- pany is sued as custodian of certain of the property involved in the suit. ———— Claimed the Wager. Several days before the primary elections in Prince George’s county, George Holmes, ex-member of the legislature, who lives near Landover, bet Levi Sims, a negro, that Captain Gordon would not carry Bladensburg district. Their wagons were staked upon the wager, and, a padlock and chain being secured, the two vehicles were locked together until the result of the primaries should be known. Tuesday Sims went to Holmes’ residence and demanded the wagon, claiming that Captain Gorden had carried his district. Holmes refused to give up the wagon, whereupon Sims knocked him down, ren- dering him unconscious. He then secured the key, unfastened the wagons and drove off with them. Stms {s said to bear an unsavory reputa- Uuon, he having once served time for man- slaughte-. A writ of replevin willbe issued for the return of the wagon, it is said, and Sims will be prosecuted. —.—— » Catherine Shaffer's Estate. ‘The will of the late Catherine Shaffer has been filed for probete.

AMUSEMENTS. “A BOX OF MONKEYS.”—“A Box of Monkeys,” a curtain raiser of rather pleas- ing merit, was given at the New National Theater last-night in addition to the regu- lar bill, “The Paper Chase.’ William Courtenay, Francis Kingdon, Helene Rei- mer, Caroline Cooke and Maude Allen ap- peared, and all scored as adding to the general attractiveness of the sketch. Miss Allen gave an imitation of Anna Held dur- ing the course of the first play that was exceptionally good, and Miss Reimer won favor with her laughing song. In addition, Mr. Courtenay and Miss Cook presented a bright travesty that was appreciated to the fuliest extent. Both the regular play and the curtain ratser will be given tonight, but 4 special bill will be vrezented tomorrow night. “THE MARQUIS OF MICHIGAN.”— ince its first production at the Columbia Theater last Monday night “The Marquis of Michigan” seems to have met with much popular favor. Barring a few little slins, ich are never absent from any first performance, the play was handled by ar- tists In a finished and artistic manner. Since the opening night the careful hand of Mr. McDonough, the author, aided by the stage manager, has glided through the clever work, and just as skillfully eliminat- ed a point here and added a point there, until a state of perfection has been reach- ed of which any organization should boast as the accomplishment of a week. Tomor- row night is the last performance, and hose fond of a hearty laugh will find it in “The Marquis of Michigan,” a comedy re- plete with situations of originality and uniqueness, and a dialogue of a brilliance seldom observed on the local stage. BENEFIT AT GLEN ECHO—The testi- monial benefit to Messrs. Byron Harlan and Tom Wilkinson, jr., given at Glen Echo-on-the-Potomue last night, drew to that beautiful spot a crowd that’ numbered somewhere near five thousand. The pro- gram was fully up to the nature of the ec- ¢asion, and all the numbers were pleasing. The Fadettes played a number of times and received enthusiastic applause at each appearance. The Madrids, Messrs. Yundt, Ford and Holmes, were among the favor- ites, and all their numbers were heartily encored. Another feature was the singing of Master Robert Emmet Walsh, the boy soprano, whose sweet voice filled the big amphitheater and scored a hit. The Cinc- Mmatographe, the views of which were ex- plained by jovial Tom Wilkinson, was ap- preciated, and the views comprised some exceedingly interesting and entertaining pictures. Mr. Harlan's singing was in-all probability the feature of the evening, and his reception last night amounted aimost to an ovation. Mr. Wilkinson acted as Teaster of ceremonies, and in this role pleased all. ee EXCURSIONS. The Chapel Point trip grows in popularity daily, as 1s evidenced by the increasing crowds on each trip. The ride down occu- ples four hours, and the entire day, from the time the River Queen leaves the wharf, is perfect comfort in every sense of the word. Fishing, crabbing and salt water bathing hold first places for enjoyment in the people's estimation, and contribute their share to the pleasure of the trip. Dur- ing the time since the trips were first start- ed there have been so many urgent re- quests for trips on week days that the company has decided to run the River Queen to the Point, on the same schedule as Sundays, each Tuesday and Thursday during the balance of the season. This will give those who are anxious to spend a day at Chapel Point the opportunity they seek without any crowding of the boats. The home trip up the river at night is a fea- ture of the outing. It’s a lovely scene, the Potomac in the dusk, and is hugely appre- ciated by the guests. Dinner may either be procured in the cafe on the boat or at the hotel. The fare is 25 cents for the round trip. A large crowd of Washingtonians will again go down to Ocean City, Md., tomor- row. This is evident on account of the large number of persons who have signi- fied their purpose to go by securing ai commodations in advance. The proximity of Ocean City, Maryland's only seaside re- sort, to Washington, and the many natural attractions of the place, good hotels and beautiful cottages, will in all probability make it the favorite seashore resort for Washingtonians in the near future. The route itself is also alike pleasant and in- teresting, going, as it does, via Bay Ridge, a sixteen-mile sail down Chesapeake bay, and thence by rail again for eighty-elght miles through the famous “eastern shore” ccuntry, abounding in fine peach orchards and productive farms. A personally con- ducted excursion leaves Baltimore and Ohio station every Saturday at 3 p.m., return- ing home Sunday night at 10 o’clock. Time each way, four and a half hours. * Tonight and tomorrow night the regular runs by the Macalester to Indian Head will be made. For those in quest of rest and comfort one cannot take a trip out of the city that will contribute more of either. The steamer leaves the wharf at 6:30, and from that time until she ties up at the home wharf again there is something to in- terest and please the patrons every minute of the time. Since the days have been so very oppressive, it is indeed a treat to get out where one may be sure that nothing but coolness and comfort will be the order of things, and that faith may be felt per- fectly on this outing. On the sail down the river, as well as home again, Schroeder's band lends iis services to add to the guests’ entertainment, and also furnishes the music for the dancers at the Hall. Stops are made at Marshall Hall both going and returning, so that those who care to stop off have that opportunity afforded them, or, if some of those who take the earlie- boats feel so inclined, they may again iake the steamer and make the continued run to the Head without extra charge. The demand for state rooms on the Nor- foik and Washington Steamboat Company's excursion to Fort Monroe, Norfolk, Vir- emia Beach and Ocean View, last Saturday, was greater than the supply. More than fifty persons were turned away. Those wio contemplate taking this delightful trip by water should secure state rooms as early as possible to avoid disappointment. The principal reason of the popularity of these excursions to Old Point, Virginia Beach and Ocean View is the absolute comfort in getting there and returning home. Besides, the reduced rate now in operation on Sa urdays makes the trip quite inexpensi and there need be no loss of time or ab- sence from work. The Newport News will make the run tomorrow evening, leaving her wharf, as usual, at 7 o'clock, and re- turning home early Monday morning. ‘Tomorrow. will be the weckly children’s day at River View, and Captain Randall invites parents to bring all their children to his pleasant resort, where they can have the use of the grounds and make as much noise as they please. These family days are the delight of the young folks, and every Saturday hundreds of them are brought to the View by their mothers and have a delightful day. ‘Tomorrow the steamer Pentz wil! leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m. The low rate of fare on the first two trips makes it possible for parents to take ail their children at a small expense. The chute and all the other attractions will afford pleasure to the young people, ard there will be music and danc- ing all day for those who are fond of it. Sunday Grac> Shannon will make a grand ballocn ascension. ee Damages for Injury. Suit to recover $10,000 damages has been filed against the Metropolitan railroad by Willam H. and Mary G. Douglas. The complainants allege that August 2%, 1890, while a passenger on a car of the company, Mrs. Douglas attempted to alight at 26th and P streets, but was thrown violently to the ground and dragged a distance of fifty feet, owing to the sudden starting of the car, The declaration sets forth that Mrs. Douglas was perménently injured by the occurrence. ———— Will Celebrate With High Mass. The feast of the founder of the Domin- ican Order, who lived in the early part of the thirteenth century, will be celebrated Sunday next at St. Dominic’s Church, South Washington. The celebration will consist of a solemn high mass at 10 a.m. In addition to the regular choir, so ably presided over by Miss Barbara Bischoff, the organist, Miss Minnie Law will sing a solo at the gradual. ——>___ 00 Excursion to the Seashore 85.00 es via Pennsylvania Railroad."

The lawn fete and-festival for the benefit of St. Teresa’s Catholic Church, Anacostia, which began at @ongress Heights Monday evening last, closed, Thursday evening. The affair was one of the most successful of the kind ever held on the south side of the Anacostia river. The attendance on the part of people from Washington was far beyond what was anticipated, and it was estimated that on no evening while the fes- tival lasted were there less than 2,000 per- sons present, while on one or two evenings fully 2,500 were on the greunds. The man- agement of ¢he Capital Railway Company was fully alive to the importance of the several occasions, and provided -sufficient equipment to move the big crowds prompt- ly and satisfactorily. The proceeds of the festival will be de- voted to paying for the improvements made on the church under the direction of the pastor, Rev. M. P. Sullivan, who has al- ready arranged for a concert to advance the same object, which will take place in the near future, and in which some of the most prominent musicians of the District will take part. Unruly and Boisterous Boys. There is much complaint among the peo- ple of Anacostia on account of the fre quent congregating in the evenings at the north end of the Navy Yard bridge of crowds of unruly and boisterous youths from the city. They frequently accost la- dies who cross the bridge while the men are there. One evening this week a well- known lady of Anacostia was addressed in a rough manner by a member of the crowd but instead of screaming and running awa: she set 10 work to ascertain the name of her insulter. After considerable trouble she succeeded in doing this, whereupon she at cnce returned to her home and reported the matter to her husband. The latter has- tened across the bridge, where he speedily found the fellow and compelled him to ac- company him to his home and make an apology to his wife, as well also as to promise that he would not repeat the of- fense. President Freeman M1. President W. N, Freeman of the Anacos- tia Building Association is seriously il!, at his home on Good Hope Hill. It is feared he has typhoid fever. Will Take a Vacation. Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of the Baptist Church, Anacostia, and Mrs. Stev- erson, will leave tomorrow for visits to relatives in the north. Mr. Stevenson will resume his ministerial duties here in about two weeks, but Mrs. Stevenson will re- main away for a couple of months. The Postmastership. Persons who seems to be well posted in pelitical movements, so far as they relate to Anacostia, say that the appointment of Mr. Henry Johnson to be postmaster is a foregone concluston; and that it will be an- nounced in a few’ days. Meanwhile, the friends of the other candidates are not idic and Mr. Benjamin Mundell, whose pros- pects were at one time considered to be very good, hes not by any means aban- dcred the contest. ee The Mortom Cadets’ Drill. From all appearances tomorrow is apt to be the gala day of the season at Marshall Hall. The special attraction will be the Morton Cadets. Captain Shilling and his drill team have arranged to give two exhi- bition drills, following as closely as possi- ble the program that controlled the move- ments ef the campanies that participated in the recent contest in class A at San An- tonfo, The Mortons: were awarded second prize in Texas, but ithey expect to demo: strate at Marshall Hall that no company in existence today can surpass them in manenvering according to the drill regu lations. With that end in view the boy have been hard at work practicing for sev- eral days past. Steamers will leave the wharf in this clty at 9:30 and 10 a.m., 2:30, 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. The 6:30 p.m. boat continues down the Potomac as far as Indian Head. Re- turning the boats are scheduled to 1eave Marshall Hall at 12:45, 1:30, 4:45, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. The exhibition drills are to occur immediately after the arrival at Marshall Hall of the 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. boats. sees $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The sisfer in charge at St. Ann’s Infant Asylum was presented yesterday evening by seven little children with a small box containing the receipts of a lawn party given by them for the benefit of the in- fants’ new summer home at Berwyn, Md. They inquired if the sum would be sutti- cient to purchase a baby’s crib. The sum was $12, and they were greatly pleased when told that it was sufficient. The crib will be inscribed with the following names: Bessie O'Neil, Mary King, Loretta Sullivan, Nellie Clements, Helen Williams, Arthur Clark and Margaret Smith.

Colored citizens last night organized a branch of the Negro National Protective Association at Enon Baptist Church, be- tween 6th and 7th streets southeast. ‘the meeting was presided over by Key. Dr. J. I. Loving, and addresses were made by Dr. J. N. Johnson, an organizer of the National Association, and Prof. J. W. Crom- well. The object of the meeting was to increase the knowledge of the negro, render him a better citizen and 8o protect his interests. The chief aim is to organize the colored race so as to swbserve their interests in national and priate affairs. In Dr. John- son’s address it was stated that the crimes of negrces in the country were not com- mitted so much, through depravity as through ignorance. “The lynchirgs, he de- clared, were traceable to this fact. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Alfred Green} vice president, S. J. Lomax; corresponding secretary, Miss Mary Ross; treasurer, Mrs. J. I. Loving, and chaplain, Rev. J. I. Loving.

This map is of special interest not only from being published in this first lterary effort of Washington, but from be- ing one of the few maps in existence re- lating to the country so far west. In a paper written by C. C. Baldwin, entitled “Early Maps of Ohio and the West,” he said: “It is evidently based upon that of Charlevoix. This statem s followed by Justin Winsor in his Narrative and Critical History of America.” I have com- pared this map with the one in Charlevoix and many others of the time and previous, and find it does not agree with any of them. I had almost given up the search for its identity, when, looking through a copy of the old “London Magazine” of in the library of Congress, I was rewarde: by finding a reduced siz copy of the same map with the name of “J. Gibson, seuipt., to illustrate the® text entitled ‘Some Ex- tracts from the Journal of Major George Washington.’ It was afterward evident- ly enlarged for Jefferys’ London reprint of the same year. The original Williamsburg edition is so rare that its existence has been doubted by many collectors. The li- brary of Congress has a copy in the Toner collection, also the London reprint, and the one made by Sabin in 1865. The original title reads as follows: “The Journal of Major George Washington, sent by the Hon. Robert Dinwiddie, esq., His Majesty’s Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in- Chief of Virginia, to the Commandant of the French Forces on the Ohio.” To which are added the governor's letter, and a translation of the French officer’s answer; 28 pages: 8 vo.; Williamsburg, printed by William Hunter, 1754.

The Star has received a letter from Mrs. Jeannette Brent in reference to an article Fublished in The Star Wednesday evening regarding a controversy between Mr. W. Calvin Chase, her counsel, and Detective Henry Lacey, and in which her name ap- peared as one of the principal parties in the dispute. Mrs. Brent states, in substance, that shé never said Mr. Lacey cid not visit Mrs. Carroll's house, and so stated to Com- missioner Wight. She met Mr. Chase, her lawyer, she says, and told him that Lacey had threat d her and ordered her to ve her house, next to Mrs. Carroll's, on treet: that Mrs. Carroll was his (La- 's) friend. He also said,” Mrs. Brent continues, “if I did no: move from next to Mrs. Carroll I would get myself in trouble. He also in- formed me that Mrs. Carroll had a war- rant for me, and if I would move he would have the warrant withdrawn.
