France and Engila Prof. ing AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Henry Ocaser Accused of Attempted Crimi- nal Assault, Proposed Boaing Tournament Called Off by the Policc—Church People to Have Voting Contest. Henry Ceaser, a well-known young white an, whose age is given as twenty-seven, was arrested last evening by Policeman Will Hess, on a charge preferred by Mary E. Warren, a colored servant girl. The girl aileges that Ceaser attempted to crim- inally assault her yesterday morning, shortly before 7 o'clock, while she was en- gaged in cleaning vp a lunch room on the scuth side of M street near the Aqueduct bridge. The friends of the young man do not believe the story of the girl, and think there is nothing at all in the matter. According to her report, Mary was at work in the room, and Ceaser might have succeeded in his purpose but for the timely arrival of one of the proprietors of the lunch room. Ceaser claims that he has for a number of days been teasing the girl, and that yesterday morning she kicked him because of it. Smarting with pain, he smacked her in the mouth, and the girl picked up a knife. He had to grab hold of her to prevent being injured, and she only desisted when the boss came up to the lunch room from the cellar. He did not know that a warrant had been sworn out for him until he was arrested last evening, after returning to town from a pleasure trip up the Conduit road. Child Hart. Ethel Maxwell, a six-year-old white child, while playing in the street last evening, shortly after 7 o'clock, in front of 201 street, was knocked down by a wagon driven by Michael Moran. The child for- tunately escaped with only slight injuries. No blame is attached to the driver of the vehicle, according to the police report. Boxing Tournament Forbidden. There was to have been a boxing tourna- ment last evening at Campbell's Grove, on the heights just back of Fort Reno, but the affair did not come off because of police in- terference. Albert Johnscn, a local colored light in the pugilistic world, was the pro- jector of the tournament, and quite a num- ber of people went over to witness what Was expected to be lively sport. Lieut. Swindells and several officers were present, and they would not permit the boxing to take place.

Church, in order to raise funds to continue the outdoor worship and help the chu along, will shortly inaugurate a voting con- test, in which nearly all of the members of the congregation will take part. A bicycle valued at $100 has been donated the church, and the member of the congregation secur- ing the largest number of votes before a certain date will be given the new wheel. The. contest is expected to be lively. Brief Mention. During the twenty-four hours ending this morning there were ten arrests made by the police of the seventh precinct, six of the prisoners being white and the remain- ing four colored. James B. Nicho!son has bought of Thomas E. Waggaman part of lot 18, block 8, of the Cleveland Park subdivision, at an unnamed consideration. Mrs. George Nolan has taken out a permit to erect four two-stery brick dwellings at Nos. 1237 to 28th street, the cost of which is placed at $5,000. === Protecting Human Life. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your editorial on grade crossings, con- sequent upon the tragic death of two of our honored citizens, was timely, but, in my judgment, entirely too conservative. We have had accidents of this character for the last twenty years or more, and each time the press of our city denounces the crime, and the next day the thing is forgotten. Thus the public condones the terrible outrage. It seems to me the time has come when there should be concerted action on the part of the entire community to prevent any future recurrence of these high-handed crimes against the lives and happiness of our citizens. It has been uni- versally claimed by writers of all countries that the average American is the most patient sheep in the world; that his leve of and for the law is so supreme that, ex- cept in unnamed outrages, there is never a lynching. We are continually declaim- ing about th effete governments of Europe, and yet not for a single day would such things be tolerated in any part there- of. Life and property are jealously and carefully guarded, and railroads, whether owned by the government or by corporations, are restricted to such an ex- tent that accidents of the character of the late slaughter are an impossibility. Ovr board of trade seems to have been very busy in many directions and secured some very wholesome le within its purview is of portance as in preventing a kind, and if we act unitedly and energeti- cally I feel confident that some ¢ffective and radical remedy can be secured at the coming session of Congress. ye owe it to the life, health and happiness of our com- munity; we owe it to good citizenship, and lest, though not least, to the fair fame of the capital city.

Since the introduction of this hand- cleaning method, the street—a much used one—on which I reside has received but one sweeping weekly, whereas it was for- merly swept twice in that period. In your issue of the 2ist instant the superintendent of the street sweeping de- partment is represented as stating that increased appropriations for his devart- ment are made necessary “by the in- creased price for mackine sweeping and the inauguration of the hand-cleaning method in parts of the city.” It is not known why the cost of :ma- chine sweeping should be increase? when the service performed is reduced—an ex- ample of which ts cited above. The resi- dents of the street in question cannot be properly classed among “the press and the people” unanimously approving the ac- tion of the Commissioners in adopting a method whereby part of the city is well cleaned and the other, and” much _ the larger part, is sadly neglec' JUSTICE, ne Decoration ef Stanton’s Grave. The 100th anniversary of the founding of Jefferson county, Ohio, was celebrated yes- terday at Steubenville with much cere- mony. A mural tablet, which was pre- sented by the school children of the county, Was placed upon the house in which Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln's famous War Secre- tary, was born. Many citizens of Jefferson count who are temporarily residing in this city, and who could not return home to participate in the exercises there, gath- ‘ed around the grave of Stanton in Oak Hill cemetery and decorated it with beau- fine linguist, and hes been an important agent in establisning the mis- sion work of the Methodist Church in South America.

THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1897-10 RAGES, AMUSEMENTS, ROBERT DOWNING.—Robert Downing, who comes next week to the Academy, has been particularly fortunate in the selec- tion of his company, which is composed of many well-known and experienced players. Where most stars are satisfied to have one leading lady, it is Mr. Downing’s pleasure to announce three in his support. They include Miss Adelaide Fitz-Allen, of wide experience with Keene, Salvini and other well-known players; Harriet Sterling and Helene T. Potter. Eugene Moore, Edward N. Hoyt, C. W. Vance, Clement St. Mar- tin, Richard Steele, Charles McMurdy, W. A. Robinson and George A. Holt, to say nothing about a large auxiliary corps of capable young men and women, go to make up a company that have had the widest experience. Every stitch of canvas shown is new, and the scenic environments will prove a genuine surprise. The costumes will prove a revelation, and no pains will be spared in making Mr. Downing’s re- appearance in this city one to be remem- bered. The repertoire for the week is as follows: Monday, ‘‘Virginius;"’ Tuesday, “Othello;” Wednesday and up to Satur- day maiinee, the new romantic drama, en- titled “David Larogue,”’ while for Saturday evening the “Gladiator” is announced. The sale of seats begins tomorrow morning. GRAU'S VAUDEVILLE CELEBRITIES. —A sort of oasis in the desert of amuse- ments that has been the order of things in this city for weeks past will be pro- vided at the Grand Opera House next Monday evening. Arrangements have been completed for an indefinite engagement of Gran’s Vaudeville Celebrities. The enter- tainment afforded by this aggregation at the Grand Opera House last spring will be recalled with pleasure by all theater-goers, and but little doubt exists that crowded houses will be the order of things next week. Among the well-known entertainers for the opening is Barnie Ferguson, an Irish comedian of sterling ability; Dora Wiler and Sam J. Ryan, who have already established enviable reputations for them- selve Chas. T, Aldrich, said to be the peer of all juggling comedians the Kramers, famous bicyclists, who will do scme startling work on wheels, and Mc- Carthy and Reynolds, in a sketch that is thoroughly enjoyable. MIACO'S CITY CLUB COMPANY.—T. E. Miaco’s City Club Spectacular Company ¥ traction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week. This organization in- treduces this season a new department in vaudeville and burlesque entertainments, which consists of an ertire change of bill ia the middle of the week. Monday, Tues- Cay and Wednesday the curtain will rise on the spectacular electrical illusion en- titied “Madam May’s First Night.” It is an operatic burletta, exploiting the latest Parisian fads. The closing burlesque is called “Mr. Paris at Niagara.” It is a spectacular fantasy of mirth and inusic, created for the purpose of merrimert. A very good ole is introduced between the burlesaues, in which will be seen Conroy ard McFarland, Bert Leslie and Carric Fulton, Baker and St. John, Dick and Kit- tie Kummins, Annie Lorborg, Lew Paimer, Mazie Burton and the burlesque favorite, Funnie Everett. Between the acts will be presented new and elaborate art studies, which will be shown in the glass cabinet, a Parisian invention. The last half of the week, beginning Thursday matinee, the ecmpany will present the charming bu letta, ‘The Gay Girls at Monte Carlo, ard the new and original burlesque, “The Countryman’s ~Dream.”” All will he en- hanced with elaborate scenic embellish- ments end costly costumes. —_+—— EXCURSIONS. In proportion to its size Ocean City boasts of more Washingtonians than any other resort on the Atlantic coast, and those who go there on the Saturday evening excur- sions are almost certain to meet their friends. Those who want a thoroughly en- jeyable trip, at a delightful place, should spend Sunday at Ocean City. The person- ally conducted excursions leave the B, and O. station every Saturday at 3 o'clock, and, after a thoroughly enjoyable ride through Maryland, including an_hour’s sail down Chesapeake bay, reach Ocean City at . The return train arrives in this city Sunday at 10 p.m. Washingtonians who are able to be away m business only over Sunday can leave here Saturday evening on the Norfolk and ‘ashington Steamboat Company’s steam- ers, and, after a refreshing night's sleep in their cozy state reoms, awake next morn- ing in sight of the ocean. These special Saturday evening excursions have become so popular t every state room has been ergaged when the steamers left their w f. The excursion scheduled for the coming Saturday will prove no exception, and those who intend taking advantage of avoid disappointment. Steamer Washin; ton will leave 7th street wharf Saturday evening at 7 o'clock, arriving at, Fort Mon- roe early Sunday, where the day can be spent most enjoyably. Rare enjoyment will be the order of things tomorrow evening at River View, for the Carroll Institute Minstrels, one of the best known of the local entertaining organizations, are going there on the first of a series of annual excursions. In ad- dition to the sail down the river, the min- strels will give a show at River View that they intend shall surpass all previous ef- forts. Manager George T. Cox has devot- ed considerable time at River View com- pleting arrangements at that end of the line, and no doubt exists that everything will work smoothly. The steamer Samue: J. Pentz will leave at 10 a.m. and a) p.m. Returning the steamer will leave River View at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. The ladies of St. Pete: Church and the Wholesale Grocery Clerks are both giving excursions to River View today, and both This afternoon the make a trip to the View" at and another large crowd is expected to go down at that time. All the attractions at the View will b andy to i ment, and there be music unc- ing all the evening. Those who wish to spend a pleasant time should not fail to go to River View this evening. The Washington Hibernians turned out in full force terday evening to go to River cursion to the The running races and athletic sports were well contested and handsome prizes were presented to the winners in each event. It was the first excursion given by the Alexandria branch, and was a most successful one, over 1,200 persons visiting the View during the day and even- ing. This is the day that has been looked forward to with intense interest by hun- dreds, for the tournament at Marshall Hall is taking place. A big crowd went down on the two steamers this morning and reached the Hall in time for the tilt- ing, which began promptly at noon. The grounds are filled with knights, heralds and judges, and the whole place presents the gayest sort of a scene. Tonight upon the arrival of the evening boats the cere- mony of crowning the queen will take place, after which the dress ball. To close the day and make a fitting end to the mer- riment, a magnificent display of fireworxs will be given. In past years these tourna- ments at the Hall have been most enjoya- ble affairs, and most successful, but it is doubtful if anything previous has been quite equal to the day that hundreds are enjoying now at Marshall Hall. The 6:20 boat will reach the Hall in time to allow the guests to see the crowning of the queen, the dress ball and the fireworks. These extra attractions will undoubtedly tend to fill the Macalester with merry makers to her capacity on her trip to- night at 6:30. Notwithstanding the far-reaching re- nown of the place and the historical im- portance, especially to Americans, there are a great many folks in Washington who have never been to Mount Vernon nor visited the tomb of Washington. It’s the same old story. Those who live nearest to things of importance are oftentimes last to see them, while those from afar off make long journeys to take in the sights. Folks are apt to think that they can go here and there any time, and the resuit is they allow years to pass before they finally take the time to make the trip. The Macalester leaves every morning at 10 o'clock, arriving at Mount Vernon about an hour later, There are any number of things to interest one there. BEyory room in the old mansion has-been kept just as it was when Washington occupied the premises, with all the old-fashioned furniture and embellishments of a hyn- dred years ago. —_._—_ Camp meeting Congress Heights thi: evening.

There was no one in court who seemed to know the difference, and William Vansciver,.a dealer in game, was called. He confirmed the judgment of counsel, stating that the bird was a plover and not a snipe, and because of this defect in the information part of the charge had to be dismissed. For having the reed bird in his possession a fine of $2 was imposed. Another information, charging the pos- session of the disputed bird as a plover, was filed, and this cost Ambrose an addi- tional % bill. The arrests were made by the officers who are working, under the direction of Harbormaster Sutton, and the:latter was in court to look after the cases. Police- men Evans, Schneider, Mullen,’ Burrows, Sandford and Kelly made the captures. They have been on the marshes for several days, and these were the first arrests made. One man abandoned his gun in the field several days ago and escaped. It was be- lieved he had had some of the birds then in his possession, and ran from the marsh because he feared arrest. Harbormaster Sutton and the officers, as well as a number of deputy game wardens, are working under the direction of Game Warden Sylvester. It is said that the law has been complied with better this year than during any former year, and this is the result, it is claimed, of the active in- terest taken in the matter by the game warden, With the imposition of the fines, making the sport rather costly, and the standing offer of a reward for violators of the law, it is thought that gunners will now let reed birds alone until the opening of the season next week.

The purported dispatch from Rome pub- lished this morning announcing that the Vatican had received the names of three candidates for the archbishopric of New Orleans, made vacant by the death of Arch- bishop Jannssens, and stating that they were Archbishop Keane, Bishop Maes of Covington, Ky., and Bishop Heslin of Natchez, Miss., is not generally credited by Archbishop Keane's friends in this city. While it may be possible that Archbishop Keane's name has been presented to the pope in connection with the see of New Or- leans, it can be authoritatively stated that if it was done it was without his consent and against his expressed wishes. Of course, if the authoFities at Rome should decide that Archbishop Keane is the proper prelate for the distinction he would bow to the orders of his superiors, but his value in the councils of the Vatican has been so great and is growing to such an extent that it is not thought at all probable that he will be relieved of his present duties. a OLD OFFENDER €AUGHT. Henry Davi» Senf ‘to Jail for Steal- ing Meat. Henry Davis. colored, aged forty years, who is said to have served terms both in jail and in the penitentiary, was arrested this morning in Willow Tree alley by Offi- cers Bauer? and Cornwell: for having in his possession abowt twenty. pounds. of beef which they bélieved ‘was stolen by the prisoner. Judge Kimball held him in $500 for the action of the grand jury. The officers stated that about 4 o'clock a.m. they found Davis in the alley with his shoes off. As soon as he noticed the po- licemen he started to run. The officers pursued him, and he jumped over two or three fences in his flight, but was finally caught by them. Subsequent investigation developed that the meat had been taken from the store of J. W. Arrinzder, in the neighborhood. It was identified by James Mennel, a clerk, as the property of his employer. Davis was unable to give bond and went to jail. ——— $3 Most Popular Saturday Trip 3 —is that to Ft. Monrce, Norfolk, Va. Beach & Oceun View via Norfolk & Washin steamers.

He displayed a receipt from one Her- man Hauch, crediting him with $10 on ac- count of bicycle, but upon close inspection of the document, Vincent was convineed that the words “sewing machine” had been erased and that of “bicycle” substi- tuted, He therefore held the man and tel- egraphed the New York authorities.

Thomas French, a young colored man, was today sent to jail by Judge Kimball for one year, or six months in each of two cases, for assaulting and striking Mary Henson and Lizzie Cousin, respectively. According to the evidence, French made an indecent proposal Monday evening to Mary Henson, who is but fifteen years of age. She resented the insult, and French knock- ed her down twice. The other girl, who is thirteen years old, witnessed the conduct of the accused, and said she would tell an offi- cer, which she did. Last evening French met Lizzie, and, upon learning that she had carried out her threat, knocked her down three times. French claimed th®t the whole affair was a play, so far as he was ¢oncerned, but Judge Kimball informed him that that sort of play was unlawfél. | ——E——s GOLBEN OROSS NOTES.
