He regretted that Col. ib did not avoid the conditions which would seem to indicate that there was any serious trouble or division within the party organiza- tion by tendering his resignation instead of leaving the committee to take action on the charges which had been preferred against him; that it was a significant fact that on the vote for or against the re- moval of Col.

Lamb was not a proper person to hold the position of chairman, but merely questioned the policy of his removal at the present time. In response to a question as to the result of Col. Lamb's calling a state convention, Mr. Agnew said that there was, no power to prevent any individual from ‘ing that course, but he was fully satisfied from assurance given him by those present who favored a convention that the local or- ganizations of the party, as well as its rank and file, would submit loyally to the A delicious light wine to serve with summer | action of the state committee, even though dinners.

Riddled With Bullets for Assaulting a Farmer's Wife. Shortly after noon yesterday an unknown man attempted to assault Mrs, Paulina Fenske, the wife of a German farmer liv- ing in Schiller Park, a suburb of Chicago, and was shot to death by the enraged hus- band and a posse of farmers. After dinner Mr. Fenske left his home and went to a farm about two miles dis- tant. Soon after he left a strange man walked into the hoyse and asked Mrs. Fenske for something to eat. He was roughly dressed and had paint stains on his clothes, andipresumably was a tramp painter. Seeing Mfs. Fenske and her four little children were alone, the tramp seized the woman, striking her over the head with the butt of his revolver. The terrified children from the house alarmed the neighbors. T" eee A posse of farmers, «headed by Mr. Fenske, secured weapons and hurried back just in time to see Mrs. Fenake’s axsailant emerging from fhe house. Then began a chase, amid a fusillade of shots on both sides, that led» through cornfields and woods, lasting half an hour. Just us the tramp was going ,through another corn- field he was shot in the back and fell, but emptied his two revolvers at his pursuers as he lay on the ground. They were un- a and, with pullets ee literally rid- him it] lets. No papers were found on his body to indicate whe he w: Mrs. Fenske, being a muscular Germai woman, was almost a match for her as- sailant, and received but a few bruises in the struggle.

A Splendid Program in the Amphi- theater—Trouble With the Rail- road Over the Coupons. ‘Right royally have friends of the Morton Cadets and the Washington public gener- ally responded to the call for assistance igsued by the young company, in order to wipe out the indebtedness incurred by the recent trip to Texas to participate in the San Antonio interstate drill. The Cadets had a testimonial benefit last evening at Glen Echo-on-the-Potomac, and it was big in every sense of the word—in fact, mammoth. The railroads were taxed to their capacity, and it is not stretching the truth to state that but very few seats in the immense amphitheater were vnoccu- pied. “It was a great, big, good-natured, en- thusiastic crowd, and one that seemed to enjoy the entertainment, as well as the otber attractions about the grounds, vestly. It was a great night, too, for wheelmen. The air was cool and delightful, and it would be hard to correctly estimate the number that rode to the Glen on wheels. The spacious bicycle stable there could not meet the demand for accommodations by two-thirds, and all sorts of bicycles were left resting against trees and on the lawn. The rule, conspicuously posted, “No bicy- cles allowed within the grounds,” had to be suspended of necessity. Had not bicycles been a reality, it is very likely that the railroads could not have begun to trans- Port the crowds. So far as could be esti- mated, there were in the neighborhood of 7,000 people at one time last evening in the Glen Echo amphitheater. The clamor for admission was so great that it was neces- sary to operate several entrances. An unpleasant feature of the evening re- sulted from the refusal of the Tenleytown and Glen Echo railroad to recognize the coupons attached to thé tickets of admis- sion, announced as good for one fare from Giten Echo to the District line. It was the understanding that the coupons would be accepted by all the railroads operating be- tween this city and Glen Echo. That an- nouncement was published repeatedly in the daily papers, and such was the general understanding. There was considerable surprise and indignation manifested, there- fore, when the conductors on the cars of the railroad mentioned refused to accept the coupons. Several passengers, consid- ering that an injustice was being perp trated, declined to pay an additional fare, and one at least was ejected from the cai It is intimated that legal steps will be taken in this one case, at ieast. Other railroads that shared in the trans- portation of the visitors to Glen Echo were the subject of complaint because they re- 1 quired of passengers holding a coupon for transportation for a portion of the trip a | cash fare for the remainder of the rid Car tickets were not accepted. are made legal tender on street cars in payment, of tare within the District of Co- lumbia by an act of Congress, those | obliged to patronize the railroads felt that if they were being imposed upon, and so ex- | Pressed themselves in no ambiguous man- | ner. | Those who started for Glen Echo as late as 8 o'clock were delayed about twenty minutes in making the trip while burned- out carbons were replaced on two of the railroads. The scene within the amphitheater dur- ing the entertainment was __ strikingly pretty. There were pretty girls galore girls in bicycle costumes and girls in pic. turesque summer gowns. There were men in white ducks and flannels, and men in dark clothes. There were old folks and babies. There were all sorts. In fact, it was a representative American audience. The program opened with selections by the Mt. Pleasant Field Band, under the di- rection of M. J. C. Churchill, the well- known organization that accompanied the Morton Cadets on their triumphal visit to Savannah, Ga., in May 1896. The band gave Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” and followed it with the “Star Spangled Banner.” It played the “999th Artillery March” as the Morton Cadets marched on the stage for an exhibition drill, and later played a medley of national airs and the “Pasha’s Guard March” from ‘Tobasco.” Several selections by the Fadettes, the famous orchestra of women from Boston, that has made itself more famous than ever by its efforts here, were greatly en- joyed. Howard and Leigh, who are per- haps as clever as any contertionists in the business, presented an amusing and artis- tic sketch entitled “The Tramp and the Frog. Mi Grace Golden of the Fadettes, gave as a coronet solo “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching,” and gracefully responded to a most determined encore. Masters Walsh, Brady and Laws, the grotto trio of juvenile singers, made the hit of the evening without question. They lo- cated in different sections of the amphi- theater. They first sang, very sweefly, “Somebody Stole My Heart.” Each of these gifted little chaps sang solos, and they concluded with “All Coons Look Alike to Me” in a way that has never been equaled in this locality. Messrs. Harlan and Wil- kinson, the merry monarchs of the Glen, sang a medley of their own arrangement, which was decidedly takesome. Captain Shilling, as he marched his company cn the stage amid much handclapping, ex- plained the size of the platform made it recessary for the company to drill with but three sets of fours instead of four sets. Handicapped as they were, the bo: gave a most creditable exhibition. Mes: Lynch and Trainor, in a marvelous exhi bition with bayonet and musket, were ap- preciated. The entertainment ‘concluded with an exhibition of cinematographe pic- tures. It is understood the proceeds of the en- tertainment last night will be sufficiegt to place the enterprising organization onc2 more on a firm financial footing. Capt. Shilling’s Statement. Capt. Shilling of the Morton Cadets made the following statement today: “In view of the many complaints that have reached my ears in regard to the action of the Washington and Glen Echo and the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroads in refusing to take for fare the coupons sold with the tickets for our benefit at Glen Echo last night, I have this to say: Mr. Wilkinson of the Glen Echo management suggested this coupon scheme to me, ard later on came to me aga‘n with the infor- mation that he had arranged the matter | satisfactorily with the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad people, and also with the Washington and Glen Echo road. Mr. Duckett of the Great Falls road, he said, would see me himself. Mr. Duckett did see me and agreed to take the couvons. Mr. Wilkinson then brought me a ticket of the Junior Order of United American Me- chanics with two coupons attached, and told me to have our tickets made out simi- larly, stating that the coupons would be good on all three lines. I presumed, of course, that he knew his business and also knew what he was talking about, and re- led_upon his word. e “He was very explicit and emphatic in declaring that the two roads seen by him had agreed to honor the coupons, and only last night, after the people had began to find out what was being done by these roads, went so far as to repeat his state- ments about the arrangement he had made, insisting that they were all right. Of course, the Morton Cadets have been scored by the people for this blunder, in- nocent though we were of any desire or in- tention to repudiate the coupons. Passen- gers were most emphatic in their denun- ciation of the railroads of Glen Echo, and of everything else connected with last nights arrangements, or rather misarrange- ments. But I repeat, the Morton Ca- dets had absolutely no suspicion of hay- ing matters turn out as they did until people began offering this coupon on the cars, and by that time it was too late to alter the matter. In behalf of the Morton Cadets, I can only express to the people who attended our benefit last night our dq Intment and regret at the blunder le by the railroads.” What the Railroad People Say.

Company, } ; “Saks’ Corner.” Caen eee Sesfoadeegeet electric railroad, in conversation with Sons reporter last evening, stated that the fault was entirely with the cadets. There was some sort of an Ee cue e veen thé company and the rail- meas The superintendent of the railroad, Mr. Duckett, was not furnished a proof of the coupon, and was forced to go to the rinter’s himself to seé what the ticket seems like. The company, Mr. Clark stated, had insisted that a clause be placed on the ticket announcing that the coupon and one cash fare would entitle the holder to one through ride to Glen Echo. This omission was called to the attention of Capt. Shilling, and he responded that it would be all right. Nevertheless, to pre- vent any misunderstanding, all of the =o ductors of the road were instructed to take nothing but a cash fare when the coupon was presented, and they only carried out their orders, concluded Mr. C lark. _ ‘one of the trains on the road was stop- ped just outside the District line, upon which the president of the road and Mr. Clark,4r., were seated, and the conductors demanded another fare from all of the pas- sengers, giving them the choice of paying or getting off. Seeing no other alternative, and being out in a practical wilderness, most of the paketnsets were forced @o com- the demands. Ww. C. Clark showed The Star man a copy of the ticket which was used on the occasion of the anniversary celebration of the Junior Order of United American Me- chanics, which read: “Surrender this = pon and pay five cents for through ride one way.” The omission of this line caused the entire trouble on this road. ‘On the Georgetown and Tenleytown elec- tric road it is claimed that the conductors knew nothing of the coupon arrangement, and when the early crowds boarded the cars and presented the tickets they were considerably in doubt. They refused to take them, yet to be on the safe side one of the men sent for the vice president and general manager of the road, Mr. J. Hite Miller, who lives only a few blocks dis:ant.

The service will be under the immediate supervision of Canadian mounted police. The carriers will be equipped with dogs and sledges and have Indian drivers.
