Bull Tosses a Boy—A Saloon Invaded. Two persons injured, a hundred more badly frightened and a kitchen completely wrecked was the record made this morning by a Jersey cow and bull belonging to a colored man named John Ford. John has been in the business of buying and selling cows and calves for so many years that he is known as “Calf John.” The animals broke away from their own- er at the cow yard, near 10th and B streets, where cattlt may be purchased on market days. The bull went south, entering the Smithsonian grounds, while the cow made her way_north as far as Pennsylvania ave- nue. Realizing that the big bull was calculated to do more damage than the little cow, Ford started to follow him through the park. A small boy, who managed to get in front of the animal in an effort to head him off, was tossed into a tree, and when he landed on the grass again he was more than satisfied to give up the pursuit. His experience had been painful as well as ex- citing, and, fully satisfied that he would never make a cowboy, he retired behind one of the largest trees in the park. Ford Overlooked One Fact. By this time scores of persons from the market were at the bull’s heels, and Ford, in the excitement, seemed to forget that there was any danger. He went near the infuriated animal's head and fared worse than the boy did. The bull's tad came in ccntact with his chest with crushing force, and he sat down on the grass; arising pres- ently, expecting to see a depression in the earth, where he had been so forcibly seat- ed. Ford also received a painful cut on the upper lip. After an exciting chase through the park the animal was finally captured, and. after much difficulty, was landed in the stable ir the cattle yard and securely fastened. While this was going on the cow was having lots of fun with pedestrians and storekeepers on Pennsylvania avenue. A cclored man had succeeded in throwing a rope over her head, but was unable to hold her. The animal turned on him and finally compelled him_to seek shelter behind a closed door. Crossing the avenue to the nerth side, the cow entered the saloon and cigar entrance of the Hotel Raleigh. Didn’t Wait to Be Served. Passing through in front of the cigar stand, she presented herself at the bar, but did not wait long enough to get a @rink. Without even upsetting a chair or table, the unwelcome guest departed, and then returned to the south side of the ave- nue. By this time Sergeant Moore and Po- liceman Adams of the first precinct ap- peared and tock part in the pursuit. A Chinese laundry was visited, but it seem- ed to afford no attraction. .Then the ant- ;mal went next door to Willer’s saloon and passed through to the small back yard. Oscar Brown was seated in the kitchen and was attacked by the animal, but managed to escape uninjured. A rope was brought in and the two policemen and a colored man succeeded in getting the troublesome prisoner partly uuder con- trol. This was dene by reaching out of the door, which was kept but partly open. Meanwhile a score or more of persons who had gathered in the kitchen and narrow hallway tumbled over each other in their frantic efforts to escape. A Smashing of Glass. When the officers were finally satisfied that they had the ccw under control the back door was thrown wide open and an effort was made to leave the premises by the back gate. But ence more the kitchen was irvaded and policemen and citizens were piled in a heap on the floor. Police- man Adams was forced partly through another door, and there was a smashing of glass, and at the same time the stove Was upset. Stovepipe, tables and chairs were thrown about the room, and the little kitchen had the appearance of hav- ing been struck by a cyclone or attacked by an anarchist with a bomb. The ani- mal got loose and made a dash through the narrow alley leading to D street in the rear of the premises and again the crowd renewed the pursuit. A woman was at- tacked and narrowly escaped severe in- jury. In a few minutes the cow, appar- ently almost exhausted, reached a lumber yard on Ohio avenue, and here Sergeant Moore made another effort to deprive her of her liberty. This time the sergeant was attacked and he was only saved by getting behind a tree. The animal was finally tied to a tree, and a short time afterward Ford, who was suffering from his in- juries, appeared and took charge of his property. ——__ Children’s Bteycle Contest—Orphanw’ Bazaar.

Bivalves Will Soon Knock Out Water- melons in Fishtown. One week from next Wednesday the oyster season will open, and “Fishtown” will soon thercafter quit the watermelon business. While September 1 is the day known as the opening of. the season, the dealers say there is no real business done until there 1s a spell of cool weather. Usually trade in the oyster line gets good about the middle or latter part of the month, and until the middle of the month the bivalves are not shipped here in large quantities. ce ‘The receipts of oysters at the river.front are already increasing, those of last week numbering about two hundred bushels, as againgt a hundred bushels for the preced- ing week. This week. the steamers from the lower Potomac have brought a number of barrels of oysters, principally from the Cean and Yeocomico rivers, and they were in good condition. “They were plump and had the flavor of the oysters caught much later in the sea- son,” said a dealer to a Star reporter. Oystermen are getting their traps in readiness for the Ist of September. Many of the big boats are undergoing repairs and being painted, in order to get them in con- dition to stand the rough weather of the winter. The oystermen generally predict a good season this year, unless the fall rains shall Prove to be too heavy. The summer, they say, has been exceptionally favorable, and unless something happens later on, the quality of the oysters will be excellent. — $5.00 Excursion to the Seashore $5.00 via Pennsylvanian Railrond.

Program of Entertainment for Benefit of Morton Cadets. Every detail which might possibly add to the success of the big testimonial to the Morton Cadets this evening. at Glen Echo- on-the-Potomac has received careful con- sideration, and the indications are that the affair will be little short of perfect in every respect. It is promised that nothing will be lacking in the way of railroad facilities, the amphitheater is sufficiently large to ac- ccmmodate an immense throng and the pro- gram of entertaining features is most at- tractive. A point worthy of note is one in connec- tion with the tickets of admission. <At- tached to each ticket are two coupons, one good for railroad fare from the District line to Glen Echo, and the other good for the ride from Glen Echo to the District line. This reduces the price of admission to fifteen cents. ‘The exhibition by Capt. Shilling’s drill team will occur about 9:30 o’clock. The program proper begins at 8 o'clock, and is one that should prove to be thoroughly en- Joyable. S Among the entertainers will be the Mount Pleasant Field Band, ‘The Merrie Moi archs,” Messrs. Harlan and Wilkinson; “The Tramp and the Frog,” an original und entertaining sketch by Howard and Leigh, the contortionists; the juvenile singers, Masters Walsh, Brady and Laws, who form, in “The Grotto Trio,” a whole performance in themselves; Lynch and Trainor, the military acrobats, in their wonderful feats with muskets and bay- onets; the cinematographe, with scores of new views, showing moving pictures of life size, and the now famous orchestra of women from Boston, the Fadettes, whose performances are musical wonders. Capt. Shilling will have a detail of the cadets at Chevy Chase circle and at 324 and M streets with coupon tickets for disposal, so that those who fail to procure tickets be- fore they start may get the benefit of the one-fare vate. ——— $3 Most Popular Saturday Trip §3 —is that to Ft.

For the amusement of the children and the entertainment of their elders, the usual games for children have been arranged, and prizes will be awarded to the most expert. There will be music on the steamer on all trips, and dancing on the large pavilion from the ur- rival of the first Foat in the morning until the last trip at night. The chute will af- ford pleasure to all, and there are many other attractions scattered about the View grounds to amuse you The steamer Penta will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and returning, will leave River View at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. Carroll Institute, whose handsome club house on upper 10th street is known to all Washingtonians, transferred its head- quarters, for the day, to River View yes- terday, on the second excursion given by the club this season to that resort. All the trips of the Pentz were well crowded, the evening trip being particularly so. During the day over 1,800 persons visited the View and had a gogd time. The chute was, of course, the main attraction. Chris. Arth’s Orchestra furnished the best of dancing music. The excursion was a success in every sense, and the members are greatly pleased. Thursday, August 26, the Carroil Institute Minstrels will give their excursion to River View, and a fine program has been prepared by Mr. George Cox, the manager of the organization, and the committee in charge. Indian Head is always cool when the Macalester sweeps past on those delight- ful moonlight trips. The Macalester leaves for this trip every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening at 6:30, and lands its passengers home again at about 10:30—four hours of blissful enjoyment. The boat stops at Marshall Hall both ways, and no extra charge is made for the run down to the Head. Every comfort is to be found on the Macalester. There is a very pleasant din- ing room, where a good dinner is always obtainable, and also lighter refreshments. The barber shop fs well appointed and well, patronized. Special provision is made for wheels, and no charge for carrying them. Any one that hasn't been to Mt. Vernon has missed a treat. Not only for the hal- lowed associations is it attractive, but. the Place itself is charming to spend a day in. The Macalester leaves every day, except Sunday, at 10 o'clock and at 2.30. The hour's sail down the river is delightful, and the place itself teeming with interest. ‘It is one of the first places that strangers to the city visit, but many resident Wash- ingtonians have never taken this enjoyable trip. The house where Washington lived stands today just as it stood at the time of his death, and is kept in the most per- fect order; even the furniture has not been disturbed. The grounds are very beautiful and constantly attended to with Joving care. 83 For a Tip-Top Time. - 83 Join the Metry Throng for Ocean City Maryland, Saturéay, 3 p.m., B. and O. depot.

Mr. George Watts, one of the best-known telegraph cperatcrs of this city, died about 8 o'clock last evening as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Watts was strick- en about 7 o’clock while in his apartments in the Elkton Hotel. He called for as- sistance. and Messrs. Henry C. Wooden and Martin Kain responded. They sum- moned Dr. C. G. G. Bailey. Everything possible was done for the sufferer, but without avail. Mr. Watts had complained of feeling ill since last Sunday, but anything of a fatal nature was not anticipated. ‘The deceased was a recognized expert in his profession, and for two years past had been in the employ of the Postal Telegraph Ccmpany. Prior to that he served with the Western Union. He had also worked in tke principal newspaper offices in the United States and with the United Press. He was quite a traveler, having been to South America, and had crossed the At- lantic several times. The wife and relatives of Mr. Watts are at present in Providence, R.L, and the remains will probably be sent there for interment. == = Combination Tickets for Orphanw Bazaar.

Teresa’ St. ‘Church Improvements About Compieted—Pastor Sullivan Soon to Have an Assistant. President A. fE. Randle of the Capital Railway Company yesterday received offi- cial notificationsfrom the District Commis- sioners that the use<of an overhead trolley wire on he Navy. Yard bridge would not be permitted,und it fs understood no further efforts to acquire the privilege will be made by the company, 2 It 1s. st®&ted to be the intention of the Capital Company to eventually install the Brown system of underground propulsion on the bridge, but the present plan is said to be te haul the cars over by the use of horses as soon as the repairs to the struc- ture now being made are completed. At the Tate these repairs are now being accom- plished it ts calewiated the structure will be again ready for travel by the public in about ten days, and it is thought that as the cars of the Anacostia and Potomac Railway Company, which will be drawn by horses, will continue to use the bridge, the Capital's cars will make as good speed if drawn by horses over that part of the route as though electricity were used. In anticipation of their soon being needed President Randle has had printed a large quantity of transfers to be used by pas- sengers to and from the lines of the Capi- tal Traction Company, and also tickets which will be sold at the rate of six for a quarter, good on all lines in the District. The tickets are prettily engraved, present- ing a view of Washington city as seen from Congress Heights, and containing,of course, the words, “Capital Railway Company. They are green in color and in size cor- respond very nearly to those used by the Capital Traction Company, but those so far received are not printed on quite as thick paper. Hereafter thicker paper will be used. Receiving Finishing. Touches. ‘The finishing touches are now being given to the extensive improvements to St. Tere- sa’s Catholic Church, Rev. M. P. Sullivan, pastor, which have been in progress for a number of months, and unless. something unforeseen occurs the church will be re- opened for service early in September. The program comprises a grand sacred concert the first Sunday evening in the month, m which some of the best and most popular vocalists and instrumentalists in Washing- ton are expected to participate. The reg- ular services will begin the following Sun- day. Father Sullivan has gone north for a few days in order to secure a much-needed rest. Since he took charge of the parish, about a year ago, he has labored unceas- ingly in every line of church work, and the result has been a large increase in mem- bership, both of the congregation and Sun- day school. It is understood that Cardinal Gibbons has for some time past realized that Father Sullivan needed an assistant, and that one will be sent him as soon as there is a young priest found. who can be spared from some other parish. During Father Sullivan's absence the af- fairs of the parish are in charge of Rev. Father Beavans of Immaculate Concep- tion Church, Washington. Personal. Mrs. Mary M::North and daughter, Miss Theodora, left fastievening for a trip to Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Cumberland. They will be in Buffalo during the G. A.

Some Local Sportsmen Believed to Be Violkting, the; Law. Gunners are tanticipating some good #port on the marshes’ this fall, and when the reed bird and ortolan season opens, September 1, ‘s¢ores“Of” sportsmen will be out every morning long before daybreak. The wild oats crap. in the niarshes, the gurners say,-{s.Jn splendid condition, and by the time the season opéns it will be ripe enough for the birds. ‘The growth cf oats in this vicinity is a Ilttle backward this season, and this, itis sald, accounts for the few reed birds in che marshes at this time. Persons who are fond of this sport are ready for the cpening of the sea- son, and some have already indulged in a little shooting. Blackbirds are plentiful, and many have been killed on the marshes. It has been reported that some sportsmen have killed a few reed birds and oriolan while gunning for blackbirds. Section 7 of the act of 1878 makes it un- lawful for any person to kill or expose for sale, or have in his ‘or her possession, either dead or alive, any waterrail or or- tolan, reed bird or rice bird, between the first day of February and the first day of September, under a penalty of $2 for each bird so killed cr in possession. Many gunners ignore the terms of the law, however, and kill birds out of sea- son. While birds have been scarce thus far, some few have been killed, and in some restaurants they are to be had on toast. Game Warden Sylvester has heard of these complaints, and he will do his best to prosecute persons who. violate the law. There are a number of deputy wardens who are interested in the protection of game, and they have been notified to en- force the law and begin prosecution in any case which may come under their obser- vation or to their notice. Harbormaster Sutton bas also hezrd of complaints, and the members of his crew have beer in- structed to see to the enforcement of the law should they be able to sustain a charge against any cne guilty of w viola- tion of it. Out in the county, in the vicinity of the Anacostia river and Eastern branch, the police, both foot and mounted, have re- ceived instructions to require observance of statutes, and should any arrests be made the game werden will probably go into court and have the prosecuting at- torney ask for the imposition of the high- est fine. Under the proposed new law August 20 is the date mentioned as the beginuing- of the reed bird season. These birds do not remain here very Icng, and when they ap- pear a little earlier than usual the gunners are not permitted to shoot them when they are not plentiful. : Although marsh blackbirds are being killed, and there are plenty of them, Game Warden Sylvester thinks it is a violation of law. While these birds feed on the wild oats and other vegetation, Mr. Syl- vester says, they also feed upon insects, and come underethe head of insectivorous birds. Crow blaekbipds are especially men- tioned in the @et as Insectivorous birds, but the marsh birddis not. The- act men- tions a numberof birds, concluding with “and other insectiverous birds.” A pen. alty of $2 fcr egch bird so killed or found in possession issprovided, and the warden thinks it worth-!while to make a test case of the marsh u == Dyspepsia & Indigestion BETTER THAN FOR YEARS SINCE TAK- ING HOQD'S @ARSAPARILLA, “1 bave a great. deal with srt ees vilig. “Bincegl.

A deep-voiced chorus rang out from the lower deck of the steamer Macalester last night: “There's a hot time in the old town tonight.” And there was, not only th the old town, but spreading over the river and enveloping Mershall Hall, and even letting its warmth soften the atmosphere across in Virginia. The occasion for it was the annual pilgrimage of Almas Tem- ple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, to Marshall Hall. The Shriners, as every one knows, are a very jolly set of fellows. In fact, their jollity is so great that it is necessary for them to occasionally take bare-footed journeys over the burning sands of the desert or ride, bareback, ¢amels with five humps in order to take a reef in their natural exuberence, Last night, however, they gave themselves up to their natural in- clinations in the direction of fun and frolic without restraint, and about a thousand of their friends went along with them to join in the celebration. The Macalester never carried a larger cargo of humanity than she did last night. By 6:30 o’clock every deck was crowded with so many passengers that the custom house officer declined to let any more aboard, and five minutes later, when she steamed out into the stream, over 300 people were left upon the wharf. The committee on entertainment, who were Frank H. Thomas, chairman; Charles H. Allender, Louis Goldsmith, Will A. Haley, W. Knox, Walter H. Klopfer, Alexander Mc- Kenzie, P. B. Otterback, Benjamin Park- hurst, George W. Rae, J. Henry Small, Armatt Stoddart and Emil G. Schafer, tried their best to charter another boat in order to take the disappointed ones down, but were unable to do so. A few of the latter waited until the River Queen came up from Marshall Hall, and then went back on that boat, which arrived, however, too late for those aboard to participate in the exercises. On the trip down on the Macalester a continuous performance was given in va- rious parts of the boat by well-known Washington artists, and at Marshall Hall the pavilion was given up to a vaudeville performance, which was enjoyed by au im- mense audience. Ed. Hay was master of ceremonies, and the specialties followed each other in an entertaining order. The performance began with a drill of the Arab patrol, composed of twenty-five Shriners, under the leadership of T. B. Walker, their bright costumes and skillful evolutions gaining much applause. Others who took part I the entertainment were the Madrid Mandolin Club, assisted by the Ford sisters; Miss Bessie Driver, soprano soloist; George Graham, the_monologist; Misses Otterbach, Diver and Stevens, who prettiiy and gracefully danced the “Viv- andier dance,” in costume, and Messrs. George O'Connor and Percy Leach, in comic songs. The evening closed with a cake walk by Thomas P. Walker and Will- iam Knox, which was exceedingly funny. The Ferris wheel, the merry-go-rounds, the bowling and shooting alleys and the other attractions at the popular resort were all steadily patronized throughout the evening, and a most delightful time was experienced by all who attended. The Macalester was preceded to Marshall Hall by Mr. Richard Johnson’s handsome steam yacht Nereid, with a party of well-known gentlemen, several of whom were Shriners, on board. The excursionists were greeted with a shot from the yacht’s gun, when the Macalester pulled in. The trip home- ward was more comfortable for the ex- cursionists, as two boats, the Macalester and the River Queen, were used. Potentate Standiford says that those who had tickets and were unable to secure transportation can have them redeemed either at his of- fice or rt the offices of Harrison Dingman and Frank H.

All of them have served in the penitentiary for dishonest practices or assault, and now there are several charges of housebreak- ing against them. The robberies were all committed at night, and the harness was kept in their houses until early in the morning, when it was taken away. On one occasion they bargained to some harness before they committed robbery, but they did not succeed in ting the harness they expected. Five full sets of harness and several parts of sets have already been recovered, and the officers expect to make other discover- jes this afternoon.
