Special Correspondcnce of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., : August 22, 1897. This has been a most successful day for the Emory Grove Camp Meeting Associa- tion in point of numbers and financial gain. Church representatives from many sections of the county were present, as were also many visitors from Washington. The association is composed of colored people, who have purchased a large tract of land here, covered with a fine grove of forest trees, and they annually hold a two weeks’ camp, under the auspices of the A. M. E. Church. The Rev. W. Clare, presid- ing elder of the Washington district, is in charge, assisted by the Rev. T. O. Carrol, Rev. J. W. Meredith, Rev. J. H. Bailey and Rev. Geo. Wilson. J. A. W. Rich of Darnestown is the president of the associa- tion, and Frank T. Duvall of Gaithersburg the vice president. ‘The morning experience meeting was led by the Rev. J. W.

Moses Leake, formerly of Laytonsville, preached to a very large au- dience, many visitors from Washington arriving by train. The evening Lacon f had attractions to keep nearly the whole congregation of the. day present, and a typical southern camp meeting of colored people was witnessed.

Hop Sing is a new arrival in Georgetown, having come there only a few weeks ago, and opened up a laundry at 1413 32d street. Unlike a good many of his countrymen who seek a home in the United States, he is married, and lives with his wife and two little children, cne a boy about five years old and the other a little girl, probably three years old. His advent in the neigh- borhood-is not relished, though Hop Sing is seemingly quiet and industrious and at- tends solely to his own business. Yester- day he appeared at the police station and made a complaint about the actions of a crowd of half-grown children, boys and girls, who loiter around the corner of 324 and O streets, half a square below his place. His littie boy was captured by the crowd yesterday afternocn, and while some girl held the child, others in the crowd stuck chewing gum all over his head. When freed, the boy presented a sad appearance, his hair being matted with the sticky su stance. The child could not identify any of the crowd, and the father went to the police station torsee if it was possible to arrest the culprits; but so long as their identity is not disclosed it is impossible to apprehend them. Emergency Cases. William Whelan, white, aged fifty-five, residing at 2067 35th street, while driving a wagon Saturday, just before noon, on 34th Street, near Prospect avenue, was seized with vertigo 2nd fell out on the asphalt pavement, striking on his head and inflict- ing an ugly wound.

He was given relief at the Emergency Hospital. Good Order in Rossly Under the new order of things Ross!yn is rapidly becoming a law-abiding center.

Veteran Detailed at the District Building Passes Away. “Policeman George W. Blandford, sixty- six years old, and a member of the police force for the past twenty-six years, died about 1:30 o'clock this morning at his home, No. 824 I street, in East Washing- ton. During the past few months he was detailed. as doorkeeper at the District building, and six days ago he had to go off duty because of an attack of what ap- peared to be pneumonia. Because of his advanced age he grew worse instead of better, and this morning death ended his sufferings. The deceased was a native of Maryland, but had spent the greater part of his life in this city. He leaves a widow and three children. ~ | Ot_icer Blandford was the fourth police- man who died while on the District buili- ing detail during the past few weeks. Po- liceman Clements was first, and Sergt. Pierce and Policeman Salkeld soon fol- lowed. It is thought by the officers that the weather condittons to which the men on this detail are expesed affected the health of each. The funeral of Officer Blandford will take place Wednesday, and a detail of officers to attend the funeral will be made tomorrow. Officer Maddox of the fifth precinct has been detailed to take the place of the deceased officer. = THE HINT SUFFICED. Guest Placed Behind a Screen Be- cause He Was Pretty. In the back room of a local saloon, one evening recently, more than a dozen men were seated at tables enjoying a crab feast when a little colored man, well dressed, en- tered and took a seat at the rear table. “I'll take about four crabs,” he told the waiter, and a minute later the order was filed. This the only colored guest was ready to enjoy, from the anticipation of which he had derived much pleasure. ‘Then he ordered a beer, but before serv- iug the beverage the waiter pulled in front of the colored guest a tall screen which hid him from the other guests. “See here, waiter,” said the customer, “why did you put this screen here?” “Well,” answered the waiter, “you are so good-looking that I didn’t want the other gentlemen to see you.” An instant later the seat at the rear table was vacant and the screen was re- turned to the corner. ses Lioyd’s Troubles Not Ended. Detective Sinnoth of the Capitol poiice force, who arrested Thomas W. Lloyd tor the theft of books from the law library of the Capitol, has recovered a number of books which were taken from the library by Licyd. About fifty volumes have been missed thus far, and it is believed that Lioyd took them all. The officer ha talk with the prosecut- ing attorney today, and it is possible that additional charges will be filed against the man who is already serving a year in jail. ————_—_ Now Assistant Sanitary Officer. Policeman Teeple, who was recently re- duced from lieutenant to private, went on duty at his new post as assistant sanitary officer today, afttr having enjoyed leave of absence for one week.

The Court Imposes a Heavy Sentence For Contempt Well as For Vagrancy, When Jessie Ford, generally known as Jessie McCoy, was today arraigned before Judge Scott to answer the charge of va- srancy, there was nothing to indicate that @ scene such as rarely occurs in a court of justice was about to transpire. The woman had been given a seat by her counsel, John Moss, as is the custom when prisoners have an attorney to plead for them, and Officer Owens was giving his testimony. He had stated the circum- stances under which he came to arrest the woman, when she suddenly jumped to her feet and called the officer a string of names, and exclaimed: “You dirty. whelp, don’t you say that or I'll murder you! Suiting the action to the threat, the wo- man picked up a heavy arm chair and threw it at the witness with as much force as she could command. The chair struck the side of the witness stand and fell to the floor. *: By this time that portion of the court room which is reserved for the lawyers was in a scene of wild confusion. No one seemed to know what the woman might do, and Lawyer Moss sought safety in Might. As quickly as possible Policeman Flynn and Bailiff Kendig seized the woman, but she tried her best to kick the officers, and was not subdued until several others’ con- nected with the court had taken a hand in the proceedings. As soon as the court room again became quiet Judge Scott sentenced the woman to a fine of $20 for contempt of court, with the alternative of sixty days in jail, and to six months in jail for vagrancy. > rriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Wm.
