President Henderson of the Eckington Citizens’ Association called upon the Com- missioners Saturday afternoon to protest against the substitution of gas for incan- ¢eseént lamps in lighting the streets of that suburban village, a move proposed by the engineering department. They Stated that about twenty houses in the place use the incandescent lamps, and when the wires are removed this would leave them without fllumination. The Commissioners have suspended ac- tion in the matter on account of the pro- tests mede, and further hearing will be given. FOR BENEFIT OF THE SOUTH Southeastern Railway Association Favors Washington, Norfolk and Richmond. Series of Cheap Excarsio1 Inaugu- rated—Offiset to Late Diversion in Favor of New York. The Southeastern Railway Association’ has arranged for a series of excursions from all parts of the south traversed by its lines to Washington, Norfolk and Rich- mond, at one fare for the round trip, com- mencing September 1. The association is composed of the South- ern railway, Atlantic Coest Line, Atlanta and West Point, Savannah, Florida and Western, Central of Georgia, Florida Cen- tral and Peninsular, Florida East Coast railway, Georgia and Alabama, Georgia Southern and Florida, Plant system, Rich- mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac, Tifton and Northeastern, Western and Atlantic and Western of Alabama. The movement to provide for these excur- sicns was started several weeks ago, and in compliance with the requests of a large number of wholesale merchants in Balti- more, Richmond and Norfolk, the associa- tion authorized a reduction of fare between all southern points and the three cities named, which are regarded as the gate- ways of the south, about the middle of the Present month. While there were many buyers who took advantage of the low rates, there were not as many merchants in the various parties as had been hoped for. This was accounted for on the ground that sufficient time had not elapsed be- tween the granting of the concession and the date of excursion to permit the fact of the reduction to become very widely known. Era of Prosperity. It is understood that the managers of the railway companies composing the Southeastern Association, have become convinced that an era of prosperity has struck the south, and that there will be much more purchasing of goods among the people there in the near future than there has been for years past, and they determined to do all in their power to en- able the wholesale men of Baltimore, Nor- folk and Richmond to secure the trade. it is possible that to a certain extent this action of the Southeastern Association was made necessary in order to counteract the efforts of New York merchants to capture the southern trade; they having induced the Joint Traffic Association to permit the roads in its membership to grant a rate of one fare and a third from all points in its territory to New York. A Missing Link. A stumbling block to the ambition of the New Yorkers was, however, found in the part that the Joint Traffic Association had no control cver any of the roads south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, and when appealed to by the New York people they declined to take any steps which would have the appearance of favoring the me- tropolis at the expense of their own con- stituency. ‘The retes made by the Southeastern As- sociation place the merchants of Balti- more, Norfolk and Richmond on a iar better footing than that secured by New York from the Joint Traffic Association, and will, it is predicted, resvlt in the Sreatest movement of merchants toward these cities that has ever been known. —_—-___ Cengress Heights this afternoon and evening—Free exhibition trained horses and dogs, man-eating gorilla, fire dept. by birds, clowns, concert, ventriloquist and stage play.

The Driver Attempts to Cross Electric Railway Tracks. Paseengers on en electric car near Falls Church were given an unpalatable dose of lime Saturday afternoon, and considerable excitement was occasioned as well. A man seated in a one-horse wagon, loaded with lime, made an effort to drive over the rail- way tracks at a place other than a cross- ing. The car was going at a rapid rate of speed at the time, and the motorman had no’ reason to imagine that the man was gcing to cross at a place where the tracks were rough, and where there were ditches on either side. But the driver made the effort, end the car struck the wagon. The breaking of the shafts saved the horse, but the wagon and driver were rolled over and over and the dense cloud of lime filled the car. It was thought by the passengers that when the lime clcud had cleared away they would see the mangled body of the driver on the tracks, but much to their surprise the man got up and walked away, after censuring the men on the car. He was only slightly bruised. a Ho, for Rockville fair tomorrow; $1 for round trip, including admission. B. and O. trains, 8:00, 9:00 a.m., 12:50 p.m.—Advt. ——_—__ REFORM SCHOOL ESTIMATES.

Shoppers 4 Lovers Benefited by Cheap Excursion Rates. ‘There have been many signs of returning presperity noticea>le of late in the vicinity ef Washington. The encouraging indica- tions have been particularly plain along the line of the Washington and Ohio divis- fon of the Southern railway. This road Las been conducting a series of cheap excur- sions to Washington, and at one point, at least, the station agent was compelled to discontinue business, being unable to meet the demands of the big crowd that sought tickets. ‘The chief aim of the country folks in visiting this city is to look after their fall and winter shopping. Naturally, the in- cursion of so many non-residents has been of benefit to the local merchants and bus!- hess men. Included in the throngs have been quite a sprinkling of young people, who took ad- vantage of the opportunity to secure a iarriage license at the cheap rate in force here of one dollar each, and to spend their honeymoon at the national capital. wee Contractor Called to Account. Complaint has been made to the Com- missioners by Superintendent Stevens of the bathing beach that Contractor Hellen 1s carrying on unsatisfactorily the work of delivering sand for the improvements on the inner basin. It ts being done in a haphazard manner, he says, and he sug- gests that payments be withheld until it fs assured that {t will not cost the District the full amount to remedy the bad work being done. ‘The contractor has been notified that the Com: mers would like to hear from him in regard to the matter.

WISHED TO END IT ALL. GLEN ECHO.—The Fadettes will be] Mrs. Baker Céinmiits Suicide Because heard at Glen Echo tonight and tomorrow night for the last time here. Wednesday night Haley’s Washington Concert Band will take the stage gnd hold it for all per- formances for an indefinité period. The Fadettes have contributed to the pleasure of thousands of Washington's people, and their going is a matter of sincere regret with many. But this regret is tempered with feelings of the liveliest pleasure in the announcement that Haley’s standard or- ganization is to be the new attraction. The other attractions in the list for this week are Harb and Irving, the transformation artists; Koppe, a sensational club juggler; Miss Gertrude Ferguson, a dainty dancer, and others well known in the vaudeville world. Wednesday evening should not be forgotten as the date of the benefit for the Cuban hospital fund. The admission to the grounds is free, while a nominal price is charged those who desire to listen to the entertainment provided in the immense amphitheater. Mr. Leo Wheat gave two of his charac- teristic plano and organ recitals yesterday afternoon and night in the auditorium and met with an _ enthusiastic reception from the large audiences present, and it was generally remarked that the distin- guished pianist never threw more uerve and expression into his performance than in the popular numbers he played yester- ay “It is to be hoped he will play there again. CASTLE SQUARE OPERA CO.—The Castle Square Opera Company will open at the Columbia Theater September 13.with “The Beggar Student.” This is an opera full of good music and has also a splendid book, and shculd meet all the require- ments of popular taste. ———oo EXCURSIONS, Tomorrow the excursion of Metropolis Lodge of Odd Fellows of this city and Poto- mac Lodge of Alexandria will take place at River View. This excursion was to have taken place in July, but was, in conse- quence of the bad weather, postponed un- til tomorrow, when tickets issued for the June date will be good. The two lodges expect to take down big crowds from Washington and Alexandria, and the mem- bers are looking forward to the trip with every expectation of having a good time. Besides the many attractions at the View, a splendid program for the entertainment of the visitors has been prepared and will be found very amusing. Dancing will be indulged in all day, and Chris Arth’s Or- chestra will be heard in concert on all trips. The steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and Alexandria at 10:20, 2:20 and 7:05 p.m. The return trips will be made at the usual hours. The excursion of the Plattdutsche Verein and the Arion Singing Society to River View yesterday was a grand success, for during the day about 2,000 persons visited the resort and had a good time. In the throng could be seen nearly every well- known German-American in Washington, and, as usual, on these German excursions, mirth and jollity was the order of the day. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz made four trips to the View, leaving her wharf at 11 a.m., 2:45, 6:15 and 8:30 p.m., and each trip carried down large crowds. The sing- ing of the German airs by the large chorus from the various singing societies was greatly enjoyed, and the musicians were all warmly applauded. The chute and the various attractions at the View were well patronized, and mirth reigned supreme from the arrival of the first boat until the last trip was made homeward, and all were landed about 10:20 o'clock. On next Sun- day, the last Sunday of the present excur- sion season, the Columbia Turn Verein will give its second excursion of the season to the View, the first having been so much of a success. As the season grows older it seems as if the crowds that journey to Marshal Hall grow larger. Yesterday was one of the heaviest days in travel on the boats that has been known this year. But it is hardly surprising when one thinks of all the at- tractions that are offered there. The best drawing card of the day was the concert by Schroeder's Band in the afternoon. It alone brought hundreds of the guests to the Hall. It ws so delightfully cool and every- thing was so enjoyable that the day passed away almost before one realized it. The grounds seemed to be prettier than ever, and the folks fairly took possession of ev- erything on the place, making themselves at home as they saw fit. The people seem to realize that before long these pleasant Sunday trips will be over for the season, and took advantage of the opportunity while there was yet a chance. It is a fact there is never a dull day spent at the Hall, there always being something to pass the Gay pleasantly. It was a fully satisfied par- ty that landed at the wharf on the return of the Macalester last night. ————_—_ THE STREET SWEEPERS. White Wings to Become a Factor in Labor Ranks. It is very probable that the street sweep- ers will within a short time be enlisted in the ranks of organized labor. Several weeks ago a number joined a federal labor union, which was organized through the efforts of Mr. William Silver, the District organizer for the Central Labor Union. This body is not a distinctive craft organ- ization, being compcsed of those persons whose calling is not organized. While a number cf the sweepers allied themselves with this organization, others who desired to do go were fearful of a dis- charge if they identified themselves with the union, as it was reported that Mr. Dag- gett; who has the contract for the street sweeping, was opposed to labor organiza- tions, and apprehended trouble if his em- ployes were organized. This question, it is said, has been settled satisfactorily by all concerned. Last Saturday evening Organ- izer Silver saw Mr. Daggett in relation to the matter, and, after the purposes of the organization had been fully explained, Mr. Daggett stated that he had no objection to his men joining it, and that they were at liberty to do as they desired. a STREET EXTENSION CASES Assistant Counsel Employed to Repre- sent the District. The Commissioners have selected coun- sel to assist the attorney for the District in the prosecution of the street extension cases, Mr. A. A. Birney, former United States district attorney, having been chosen. It is said that Mr. Birney will practically take charge of the cases, as the attorney’s office has all the business it can attend to at present. Mr. Birney will be in consul- tation with Attorney Thomas, however, and act in harmony with him. It is con- sidered probable that other assistant coun- sel will be employed, but no selection has been made. —.__. COLORED MAN’S DISTINCTION. Bishop Tanner’s Son Has Great Suc- cess in Art. The Courier des Etats Unis, the French newspaper published in New York, con- tained the following about Henry Tanner: “M. Henry Tanner, an American negro, who has been studying painting in Paris for some years, has attained the greatest distinction ever reached by one of his race in this art. Recently M.. Tanner exhibited a picture in the salon, entitled ‘The Rais- ing of Lazarus.’ The critics gave the art- ist great praise for this picture, which has been purchased by the French govern- ment for the museum at Luxembourg. M. Tanner is the son of an African bishop of the Methodist Church, and has studied painting under Benjamin Constant.” Young Mr. Tanner is twenty-six years of age, the son of Bishop Tanner of the Af- rican Methodist Episcopal Church. His residence is in Philadelphia. ———>—_—_ Beeomes Head of the Order. ‘W. A.

He was at his wife’s bedside when she died. it appears that Baker came to Washing- ton about three!weeks ago, and has been stopping. at the Gatto House. Recently he lost a little son, d the death of the boy greatly grieved him and his wife, and is said to have caused Baker to leave his home in Clayton, Harford county, Md., where he owns a farm. He is said to have engaged in the sale of books here, and Saturday his wife came to Washington. She went to the hotel where her husband was stopping, and found, it is said, that a man named Swaim was sharing the room with him. It is claimed that the two men were drinking Saturday evening, and ac- cording to Baker's story, corroborated by that made by Mrs. Baker to the police and to Coroner Carr, she jumped from the win- dew while her husband was bidding his friend good-night at their room door. The first the hotel people knew of the woman’s act was when her husband rushed into the office on his: way down from his room, cry- ing out that his wife had jumped from the wirdow. Mrs. Baker was found lying on the stone steps in the rear of the hotel, profusely bleeding, but conscious. Before being sent to the hospital she declared she had jump- ed from the window, saying that her hus- tand was not responsible for her act. Baker appeared greatly distressed, but he was errested on suspicion and locked up at the first precinct, while his wife was made as comfortable as possible at the hospital. Early yesterday morning the physicians saw that she was in a dying condition, and Sergt. Acton and Policeman Lally took her statement. She declared to them that her husband had nothing to do with her fall, and later in the day she made a similar statement to Coroner Carr, telling him that she jumped from the window with the pur- pose of destroying herself. Her husband _ she said, and she wished to end it Baker was deeply affected, and is said to have blamed himself. The coroner decided that an inquest would not be necessary, and issued a cer- tificate of death by suicide. The remains wil! be seat to Clayton this afternoon, where the funeral is expected to take place Wednesday. gees See the bicycles now on exhibition at Sican’s, 1407 G st., to be sold Wednesday at 12m. and4p.m. This is the place to buy. —Advertisement. PULPIT THEMES. - Subjects Discussed in the Washing- ton Churches Yesterday. ‘The pulpit at the Calvary Baptist Church was filled yesterday morning by Rev. M. B. Wharton, D.D., a congregation that nearly filled the spacious auditorium being pres- ert. Dr. Wharton was at one time consul from this country to Germany, and was stationed at Coburg. He is now pastor of the Free Mason Church at Norfolk, Va., ene of the largest church organizations in the south. Rev. Allen Macy Dulles of Watertown, N. Y., a son-in-law of John W. Foster, occu- pied the pulpit of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church yesterday morning and interested # large congregation. He spoke on the prophery of Zechariah. Rev. Dr. Alexander Kent preached to a large audience at the People’s Church yes- terday morning. Tie subject of his re- marks was “The Critics Criticised-—A re-' view of N. P. Gitman’s attack on Bellamy's equality.””. Dr. Kent upheld Bellamy’s plea for economic euqality and treated Mr. Gil- man’s attacks in'a somewhat caustic man- ner. He was listened to by a large audi- ence. The men’s meeting of the ¥. M. C. A. was addressed yesterday afternoon by Rev. F. D. Power of the Vertnont Avenue Christian Church. Mr. Power ts one of the old fricnds of the association in this city, and his talks at the men’s meetings are always at tentively Ustened to. Mr. Power made his subject especially interesting, and at tts ccnclusion was warmly greeted by the mem- bers present. Dr. Lucien Clark, pastor of Foundry Church, delivered a scholarly sermon at that church yesterday morning. He spoke on the scriptyral theme which has vexed many persons, and which implies that righteousness is impossible to man. An Epworth echo meeting was held last evening at Trinity M. E. Church. Not only were the Trinity Leaguers out in full force, but there were also present a large number from the chapters of Waugh, Union and Epworth churches. Mr. Fred Woodward delivered a strong address on the relation- ship of the league to the church. The other speakers were Mr. T. B. Stahl, M Duana Mitchell and Rev. Alexander Bielaski. Miss Mitchell and Miss Martha Garthwait also contributed vocal numbers. Prof. J. Fraise Richard lectured last night in thé tent belonging to the Christian Church, corner 9th and _D streets north- east, his subject being “Going Through the World.” The audience was a large and in- terested one. ‘The fifty-eighth anniversary of the Nine- teenth Street Baptist Church was celebra- ted last night. A large crowd completely filled the church and the long program was interestingly presented. The speakers were Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the church; Mr. William Steward, Mr. A. Lewis, Mr. A. H. Stevens, Mr. David A. Clark, Mrs. Mary E. Alexander, Mrs. Sa tah Nailor, Mr. A. L. Alexander and Miss M. L. Peterson. Rey. Mr. Fisher, Rev. A. W. Shields and Rev.

ATTORNEY DAVIS HONORED. Paper Read Before American Bar Association Specially Distinguished. Distriet Attorney Henry E. Davis re- turned to his office this morning, after an abgence of two weeks, and later in the day left to rejoin Mrs. Davis at their country place in Montgomery county, Md., to be absent until next Monday. The greater part of the two weeks Mr. Davis spent at Saratoga, going from there to Cleveland, Okio, where he attended the twenticth an- nual convention of the American Bar As- scciation last week. Mr. Davis read before the section of legal education a paper en- tiled “Primitive Legal Conceptions in Re- lation to Modern Law,” and the American Law Review, which makes it a rule to publish the best one of the numerous pa- pers reed at every annual convention of the American Bar Association, has notified Mr. Davis that his paper has been the one selected for publication from the many read this year. The paper will also be published in the proceedings of the asso- ciation. As its author explained to the conven- tion, the paper is “an attempt to point zo the beginning of law and legal ideas and to trace their history and modifications to their manifestations in the law of today.” ‘The paper was spoken of by the members of the ccnvention as an exhaustive history of the principles of jurisprudence. ———— GANG OF TOUGHS RAIDED. Five Arrests Made Last Highland Station. Constable Charles W. Barr of Hyatts- ville, Detective George Browning of the Baltimore and ‘Ohio railroad, and a posse of eight citizens made a raid last night on @ gang of toughs which is in the habit of assembling every Sunday night just before the arrival of the “owl train” at Highland station. Five of the gang were captured, but the others made good their escape. For a long time the residents of High- lands have been greatly annoyed by the loud cursing and swearing which takes place at the station. It is alleged that the men forming this gang go opt from Wash- ington and spend the Sunday afternoon and evenings on the grounds of the old Stegmaier place, which is now closed. They take their liquor with them and drink freely of it. At a late hour they repair to the station and engage in shouting, scuf- fling, cursing ard swearing until the train bears them away. Complaint has been made several times, but ‘no action taken by the authorities until last-night. ‘The officers and their deputies went to the scene of the alleged disorder about 10 o'clock jast evening, and when the crowd made its appearance they started in to make a wholesale arrest, with the result above stated. Two of the men escaped with handcuffs on. The five captives were brought to Hyatts- ville and arraigned before Justice Carr. They are Walter Dorsey, Arthur F. Robin- son, Fred. Miller? Charles C. Hesler_and all of this city. Four ed, and ses were called this morning they failed to put in an appearance. Frank McCarthy, the fifth man, was fined $1 and corts, the sum amounting to about $10, which he paid. This decisive action on the part of the authorities will probably put an end to the nuisance.

The body of Henry Waring Grimes, a Prince George's county farmer, was found hanging from a tree on his farm adjoin- ing Nottingham, Md., last Saturday, and it is supposed that he committed suicide. Grimes disappeared about a week ago, but as he was in the habit of going away for days at a time his tenants, with whom he lived, thought nothing of the occur- rence. Saturday the ghastly discovery was made by a man who was at work repairing a fence. The body was badly decomposed, and had it not been that the knees rested upon the ground the head would have been severed from the trunk. The deceased was well known in Prince George's county and among market of this city. He was sixty-three years of age and a widower. His wife, who died several years after their marriage, was a Miss Beall, sister of ex-Sheriff R. Westley Beall of Prince George's county. Grimes owned a large farm on the Pa- tuxent river in addition to his other hold- ings, but spent most of his time at his Nottingham place. No cause is ascribed for the rash act, and it is belleved by many that he was temporarily insane. — men “Want” eds. in The Star pay because they bring answers. ——<——<— SCHOONER’S MATE DROWNED. Albert Hughes Mee: Death in the Potomac River. At an early hour yesterday morning Al- bert Hughes, mate of the schooner Carrie Wright, was drowned in the river near the 12th street wharf. The death of the man was undoubtedly an accident, although no one saw him when he fell into the water. Saturday night he had been ashore, return- ing te the boat scon after dark. As his clothes were found on the beat it is thought that, after getting ready to retire, he went in the water to take a bath, which proved to be his final one. About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the body was located by a colored boy, and leter it was recovered by the crew of the pclice boat. The bcdy was then taken to the morgue, and a certificate of accidental drowning was given by the coroner. The deceased was forty-six years old and belonged in Baltimore. His sister in the monumental city was notified, and the body will probably be taken there for interment. LOS POOH RE SET EOGRE ESE vaeed In the Heat ?
