ROCKVILLE, Md., August 18, 1897. The annual exhibition of the Montgomery County Agricultural Society will begin on the 31st instant and continue four days. The fair grounds are now the scene of much activity. They occupy a beautiful grove of chestnut, oak and hickory trees, covering an area of eighteen acres. The buildings include a large horticultural hall, a commodious dining room, a handsome building for the exhibition of poultry and dogs, a spacious grand stand from which to view the races, a handsome judges’ stand, erected this year, 125 substantial new stables and cattle sheds, hog pens and miscellaneous structures sufficient to ac- commoedate extensive exhibits of an infinite variety. The officers of the society anticipate great success at the approaching exhibition. They have expended about a thousand dollars in getting the grounds in proper shape und adding new facilities, and expect in a few more days to have everything in perfect order for an exhibition far surpassing any they have ever given. Just at this time the farmers are in ex- cellent humor, and the indications are that they will liberally patronize the coming fair. The recent jump in the price of wheat from 60 to 90 cents a bushel has spread broad smiles upon their faces, and they will doubtless be good ard ready by the end of the month to celebrate their un- expected good fortune in fine, old-fashioned style. There is no place on earth where a cheerful countryman can get more pleas- ure for his surplus pocket money than at the county fair, where there are the side shows, and the tin-type artists, and the health lifts, and the lurg testers, and the tempting red lemonade, besides the races and other enthusing sights. During the past few years the farmers of this county have given considerable at- tention to the breeding of trotting horses, and already there are quartered at the fair grounds about fifteen local “steppers” that are undergoing training for the various traces scheduled to come off at the fair. Quite a number of spectators assemble at the race track daily to witness the trials of speed expected to develop their respec- tive favorites among the various flyers. There will be a grand mix-up when all these korses go up against each other in the races at the fair. The District of Columbia usually sends a lot of good horses to Rockville, and all the races are open to them except one, which is exclusively for “horses bred, raised and owned in Montgomery county.” Numerous citizens of the District are members of the society, acd the interest of the people of Washington in the exhibition is second only to that of the country people. Sa THE WEDGE MURDER. A Quarrel Among Girls Assigned as the Real Cause. Correspondence of The Evenin ur. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., August 18, 1897. Rumors have been flying around town about lynching the negro jockey, Mose Jackson, for the murder of John Wedge last night. No credit is attached to the rumors. It was started by a crowd of drunken rougks. The first reports given of the cause of the murder, to the effect that it resulted from a quarrel over the decision of the steeplechase race, is not ccrrect. The real cause, it has been ascer- tained, was a quarrel among some negro | girls and their wouid-be sports, which re- sulted in a free-for-all wrangle, and ulti- mately in the killing of Wedge. Jackson has secured ex-State’s Attorney Rich. E. Brandt and C. Keys of Wash- ington as his attorneys. The case will be tried at the October sitting of court. ——— BOLD ROBBERY COMMITTED. Burglars Enter the Residence of Ed- ward Carroll in Southeast. Burglars visited the house of Edward Carroll and Thomas B. Montgomery, No. 707 10th street southeast, last night, and succeeded in carrying away several articles of jewelry belonging to Mrs. Carroll. She values them at $100. Because of his em- ployment, Mr. Montgomery is away from home at night, and it has been the custom of the Carrolls to visit Mrs. Carroll's moth- er almost evcry evening and return home about 10 or 11 o'clock. Last night they were visiting as usual, and when they re- turned home Mrs. Carroil discovered that the lighted lamp was in the parlor, and not in the hall, where it had been left. This aroused her suspicion that there was something wrong, and when the door wes opened she saw at a glance that rob- bers had been there. Mr. Montgomery's apartments, on the lower floor, had been ransacked. A quantity of clothing dropped on the steps made it apparent also that her rcoms on the upper floor had not been ne- glected. Going upstairs, she found that the beds had been upset, evidently in the search for money, and the trenks and bu- reau drawers had been ransacked, the con- tents being strewn all over the floors. From the trunk the burglars had taken a gold watch and chain, four rings and a pin. There was no money in the house for them to have gotten. It is Mrs. Carroll's idea that the burglars were in the house when she returned home, and that they were frightened off by her appearance at the front door. It is likely. that they were getting together the clothing when she reached home, and as they had to leave in a hurry they dropped them on the steps. As soon as the burglary was discovered the police were notified and the affair was investigated, but no arrests were made. This morning Mrs. Carroll called at police headquarters and saw Detectives Weedon end Lacy, who have been assigned to work cn the case. She related to them the story of the robbery, and a hat left in the house may assist them in apprehending the burg- lars. There was nothing taken from Mr. Montgomery's rooms. eetese AE Stole Water Fixtures William Hawkirs, a colored boy, about sixteen years of age, was today sent to jail by Judge Kimball for six months and fined $100 or six months additional in de- fault of payment, for stealing a quantity of water fittings from a house cwned by Mr. George T. Dunlop, president of the Capital Traction Railway Company, corner of Ist and E streets southeast. The evi- dence showed that the house, the robbery of which the charge was based upon, was only vacant for one day, but that a num- ber of other houses in the same row, owned by Mr. Dunlop, and in which there had been no tenants for some days,_had been Practically wrecked of their water fixtures. Judge Kimball said the crime of Hawkins, which he regarded as clearly proven, de- served severe punishment, and he then im- posed the penalty above mentioned. a THE COURTS.

The Last Sid Rites Performed Today— Services Held at Vermont Avenuc Christian Church. Very solemn and impressive were the funeral services this morning over the re- mains of David G. Swaim, brigadier gen- eral, U. S. A., retired, who died Tuesday, after a long illness. The funeral took place from the family residence, No. 3000 14th street. and was conducted by Rev. Fred- erick D. Power, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church. were later interred in Arlington cemetery with military honors. All that was mortal of the deceased sol- dier rested in a very handsome casket, which was heavily trimmed with silver, in the front parlor of the Swaim residence. ‘The casket was draped with an American flag, while on and about it were many floral tributes from friends and the several organizations of which Gen. Swaim was an honored member. At the hour set for the commencement of the services the darkened parlors were filled with sorrow- ing relatives, comrades and friends, and all the available room in the spacious hall- ways was occupied. Among the gathering the uniforms of the regular army, that of the Knights Templar and other organi- zations were very conspicuous, as was the picturesque lapel insignia and the badge of the Loyal Legion. Servicex Unostentatious, The services were simple and unosten- tatious, in keeping with the character of Gen. Swaim. After reading the service for the dead, as adopted by the Christian Church, Rev. Dr. Power paid an earnest tribute to the deceased soldier. The min- ister stated that he had known the gen- eral for many years. He was a man who early in life had received a Christian train- ing from Christian parents, and only a few days before his death had expressed his appreciation for the education that had been given him in that direction. Con- tinuing, Kev. Dr. Power said that Gen. Swaim was a credit to his profession and a model among men. He was a hero, not only in his chosen walk in life, but in so bravely bearing physical pain for years. ‘The general, the minister went on to say, had gone to a better world. The tent he had occupied so long had become dilapi- dated, and was no longer habitable, and the solder had merely moved into a new dwelling constructed by The Pallbearers. Preceded by the pallbearers, who were W. J. Thompson, Colonel James A. Bates, United States army, retired; Mr. George H. B. White, Mr. George Wilson, Captain William Fletcher, United States army, re- tired; Major W. F. Huxford, Major George W. Baird, United States army; Major Muhlenburg, United States army; Mr. W. J. Pollock, Mr. Edward Caverly and Messrs. Frank Thomas and George Gibson, the two latter representing Columbia Commandery, No. 2, Knights Templar, the casket was slowly moved from the residence and along the walk through the front yard. Just be- fore reaching the hearse the pallbearers formed in’ dcuble line and stood uncovered as the remains passed between them, and were tenderly placed within the vehicle that was to transport them to their final place of repose. The top of the casket was entirely covered with flowers. The funeral procession moved slowly down 14th street and through West Wash- ington to the Aqueduct bridye, where a troop of United States cavalry from Fort Myer was in waiting. Under escort of the cavalry the sad journey was continued to the nation.d cemetery at Arlington. After a few words by Rev. Dr. Power the casket was lowered into a grave located near the mansion, and not far from the graves of General Sheridap, Secretary Gresham and Surgeon General Baxter, General Swaim having ex: a wish prior to his death that he be placed at rest near the soldiers mentioned. —__—~———_ ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

WASHIN INSTRUMENT HOUSE. 1108 F THE DORCAS MISSION An Institution Inaugurated by Colored Women. at 22 Pierce street a number of earnest Christian colored women of this city have launched a venture that, it is hoped, will result in mvch good, and in time spread out and develop into an institution of marked importance. Above the entrance to the little two-story four-room house is a piece of cardboard bearing the insc! tion, “Dorcas Mission,” and a few words announcing to all able to read that within ig a nursery. Just a few months ago the members of an organization of women known as the Wayside Gatherers of the Asbury M. E. Church, in their efforts to aid the fallen and unfortunate, conceived the idea, s9 successfully carried into practice In all the large cities of the United States, of instituting a day nursery, where mothers might leave their children while they were busy at their places of employment. “Our girls and women who have done wrong, but who are handicapped in their efforts to earn an honest living because of the presence of a child or children that cannot be left alone, and who really want to reform should be assisted,” was the statement made at one of the meetings of the Wayside Gatherers. “The same holds true of poor women who are dependent upon their own endeavors for a livelihood for themselves and children.” Plans of the Promoters. The movement spread rapidly and before long the services cf women from several other churches were enlisted. The out- come was the rental of premises 22 Pierce street and the placing of the plan in opera- tion. Through the personal endeavors of those who have affiliated themselves with the Dorcas Mission, and owing to the gen- erosity of several of the merchants of this city,the little house was partially furnished, anda poor but honest and deserving widow with two small children was installed as matron. The plan of the promoters ix to receive the child of anybody, and to for it from morning till night, upon the pay- ment of a nominal sum by the parent. By this means the child is kep: out of the attention, and, furthermore, tention is paid to its moral welfare and education. If a mother should be employed in service and required to remain at ber place of employment at night, she can arrange it so that the Dorcas Mission will care for the child at night as well as during the day. Every Sunday afternoon, com: at 4 o'clock, religious services are held at the mission buildiug, to which all are invited. Efforts are made to secure the attendance of the children of the neighborhood. - No Race Discrimination. While the idea of this nursery was orig- i Fe F | Hi | t E : | i & i 8 i 8 E j iE '
