He jeceived a Decided Majority— Other Officers Chosen—Woman's Relief Corps Elections. Arthur Hendricks of Post No. 8 was last evening elected commander of the Depart- ment of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, to serve during the ensuing year: The victory of Hendricks was decisive, he receiving a total of 91 votes, against 45 for Dr. A. J. Huntoon and 26 for W. H. Doo- little. The election of officers was the only business before the encampment last even- ing. When the result had been announced an adjournment was taken until next Mon- day evening at 7 o'clock, when the remain- ing business of the encampment will be disposed of. The fight for the office of commander has been rather spirited for the past few months, and when the voting began last evening it was not known to any degree of certainty what the outcome would be. All the candidates had a large number of fol- lowers, who declared they would stick to their respective favorites to the last. Great enthusiasm marked the announcement of the teller, A. S. Taber. He informed the anxious gathering that the total number of votes cast was 162, that the number necessary for a choice was 82, and that Mr. Hendricks had received 91. The New Commander. The new commander was carried almost bodily to the platform and compelled to make a few remarks. As soon as quiet was restored, he stated that he appreciated the honor that had been conferred upon him and would exert himself to advance the true interest of the organization. Com- mander Hendricks asked that he be ac- corded the same thoughtful and zealous support that had been given Commander Hopkins. He held a reception for some time after the announcement of his elec- tion, receiving, among others, the members of the Woman's Relief Corps, who called to tender congratulations. The result of the balloting for the other offices was as follows: Senior vice com- mander—B. F. Chase, 90: Lawrence Wil- son, 68. Junior vice commander—J. B. Car- ter, 91; A. E. Johnson, 70.

Herbert, 93, and C. P. Bundick, 94. Alternates—Jas. Wood, W. L. Schmalhoff, Nelson Hough and W. H. Henning, all chosen unani- mously. Commander Hendricks has been an _act- ive worker in the Department of the Poto- mac of the Grand Army for many years, and is one of the best-known men in the organization. He is employed in the re- cording division of the Treasury Depart- ment. He declined to have his name men- tioned in connection with the department commandership a year ago, when Mr. Hop- kins was elected, but was unanimously chosen to act as assistant adjutant gen- eral. Woman's Relief Corps. At the second session of the ninth conven- tion of the Woman’s Relief Corps, held last evening, officers were elected as fol- lows: Department president, Mrs. Anna A. Peck; senior vice president, Mrs. Laura Wheeler; junior vice president, Mrs. Mill- er; treasurer, Mrs. Gladys L.

During the evening reports were read from the executive board, committee on patriotic teaching, the press committee and others. Greetings were exchanged with the Grand Army of the Republic encampment. At the conclusion of the session an adjourn- ment was taken until this evening. oo FOR SURGEON-! N-CHIEF. Numerous Candidates for Position at Freedmen’s Hospital. Considerable local interest is being mani- fested among the colored people in the selection of a head for the Freedmen's Hospital. It will be recalled that shortly after the new administration came in an effort was made to oust the incumbent, who was appointed as a democrat. T! position was then included by the Presi- dent in the civil service, and it was deemed best to establish an eligible list, in the event a vacancy did oceur. Accordingly, in June last, the civil service commission held a special examination, and upward of a dozen physicians took advantage of it. It was limited to colored men. The papers at the time were not marked, the Secretary of the Interior indicating to the commis- sion that there was no hurry about the matter, as a change was not then contem- plated. The papers, however, have since been marked, and the commission is ready to certify three names of eligibles. Just who these are has not been developed, as the register is a clos2d une and cannot be made public. It may be, however, that the selection will not, after all, be made from the list, as the former surgeon, Dr. C. B. Purvis of this city, is eligible for rein- Statement because of his military record. Several ‘delegations have already called upon the Secretary of the Interior in the interest of certain candidates, but they have all been informed that influence will have nothing to do with the appointment, s the position comes under the civil serv- ice, and the department has no option in the matter. Dr. A. M. Curtis of Chicago is a strong applicant for the position. He took the examination, but whether he is one of the eligible three or not is not developed. He is making a hard fight for the place, how- ever, and it ts understood his wife is in the city working for him. Mrs. Curtis, it is said, the politician of the family, hav- ing done yeoman service for the party dur- ing the last campaign. The friends of Dr. Purvis are urging his candidacy. They claim the position is pe- culiarly a local one and should go to a local man. The patients who are treated at Freedmen’s Hospital are from this city, and the institution is supported largely by the taxpayers of the city. ——— lolanthe by Amateurs. Gilbert and Sullivan's pretty opera of “Tolanthe” was given by local amateurs at th2 National Rifles’ armory last night. The performance as a whole was decidedly goed, the work of the principals partic- ularly showing a finish which could only be attained by careful study under the di- rection of intelligent teachers. Most of the performers are pupils of Profs. Saltsman and De Ford. There was a large attendance, end the friends of the performers were generous in their floral offerings. Th2 principal roles were filled by Misses Saidee Drown, Eva Whitford, Blanche Muir, Emma Green, Alice Brew- ster, and Messrs. W. H. Conley, C. H. Wright, F. W. Ernst, W. A. Butler and Arthur Earnest. Others who took part in the chorus were Mrs. Dickinson, Mrs. Devis, Miss2s Johnson, Willige, Haney, —— neers Shannon, Greene, Brad- ‘y, Goss, Matlock, Roberts, Burlingame, Frost, Van Horn, Bogan, Eckstein, Gra- hem, Wiley, tig tia a Stoddart and Rob- erts, and Messrs. Davis, Cockerill, Bradley, Allen, Eisinger, Downing, Adams, Johnson, Deff2r, Wimsatt, Clift and De Groot. Mr. Conley carried off the honors of the even- ing in his comedy part. In response to many encores he sang several interpolated songs which delighted the audience. ——.—__ Last Wills Filed. The will of the late Edward A. McGurk of Gonzaga College, dated January 24, 1897, has’ been filed for probate. The entire es- tate of the deceased {s bequeathed to Jer- ome Daugherty, Michael A. O'Kane arid James B.

The District Commissioners have trans- mitted to Congress the draft of a bill creat- ing three offices of authorized surveyors for the District, each to be assigned to a specific district. They are to receive no compensation from the District, being au- thorized to receive from individuals the same fees as are charged by the District surveyor. In transmitting the bill the Commission- ers make the following statement: “Existing law requires that all plats of surveys or subdivisions that are to be re- corded in the office of the surveyor of the District of Columbia shall be made by him. Until recently it has been the custom of the surveyor to admit to the records of his office over his signature surveys and,sub- divisions rot made by himself or his as- sistants, but made by surveyors in private practice. This practice being contrary to law, has been discontinued, and private sur- veyors have, as a consequence, suffered some loss of business which had heretofore fallen into their hands. Some of the sur- veyors have been long in practice in the District, and are in possession of much in- formation not of record in the surveyor's office, and of much value to him in execut- ing the duties assigned to-him by law. In fact, it is stated by the surveyor that in certain sections of the District it would be impracticable for him to execute the duties of his office without the assisfance of one or the other of the private surveyors re- ferred to. It is extremely desirable that the experience of these private. surveyors should be utilized to its fullest extent for the benefit of the public, and that this valu- able information and data with regard to property lines should become the property. of the District and be available for the use of the surveyor’s office. “One of several methods may be em- ployed for obtaining this information, and the accompanying proposed Dill, it 1s thought, will accomplish the desired end with the least hardship to the private sur- xevors and to the best interests of the pub- c. “This proposed act may be summarized as follows: The act creates three offices of authorized surveyors, which offices expire when vacated by the original appointees. These authorized surveyors are to be bond- ed and subject to the control of the Com- missioners, much the same as is the sur- veyor of the District of Columbia. Each of them {s to be assigned to a specific district, can do work only in the District, and can- not be transferred from it. The object of this provision, as well as section 1, is to limit their operations to the sections in which their past_experience will be most valuable to the District, and to terminate the existing conditions with the services of the original appointees. They are author- ized to have their plats recorded after Proper certification in the office of the sur- veyor of the District of Columbia, and the surveyor is given such supervision as may be necessary to protect the public from having placed on record inaccurate work. “In consideration of the privileges grant- ed to them as above, the proposed act re- quires that the appointees shall place at the disposal of the surveyor of the District of Columbia all of the information in their possession relating to the work in the Dis- trict that will be of use to the surveyor in performing his duties, and at the expiration of eight (8) years all of their notes and other records deemed by the surveyor as useful for the performance of his duties shall become public property and be trans- ferred to the surveyor's office.” ——>+_— RESULT OF A RUNAWAY. Jacob Firner Seriously Injured by a Frightened Horse. An elderly man named Jacob Firner, who lives at No. 611 Burke’s alley, was knocked out of his wagon in front of the Center Market this morning and received severe internal injuries. The accident was caused by a runaway horse belonging to George L. Botsch’s Sons, butchers, in the Center Market. The runaway occurred about 8 o'clock and .was an exciting one. The ani- mal started from the neighborhood of 1st and C streets and passed through C street, going west, drawing the heavy wagon. Several persons on C street made unsuec- cessful attempts to stop the animal. In the vicinity of Havenner’s bakery there was a collision with another wagon, which was considerably damaged. When the intersection of 7th street was reached a number of pedestrians narrowly escaped being run over by the frightened animal. An Italian fruit dealer named Tony Partrello, with his push cart laden with bananas, had to desert his cart in order to save his life. The result was that his fruit was scattered over the street and ruined and his cart was badly damaged. The more serious collision happened near 8th street, and the animal was finally caught by a colored man. Mr. Firner was removed to the Emer- gency Hospital in the patrol wagon and at- tended by Dr. Juenemann. He was after- ward sent home. eee Actor Skinner's Lecture. The pupils of the high schools and a num- ber of invited guests were entertained yes- terday by Mr. Otis Skinner, the well-known actor, now playing an engagement here, with a lecture on the characters of Shakes- peare from the standpoint of the actor. Not only did Mr. Skinner give an interest- ing discourse upon the topic, but also vol- unteered some advice to his auditors on other lines. He said that those who are growing up in the schools today have it in their power to induce the best and highest forms of dramatic art in the future, by re- fusing to become patrons of the undesirable or countenance {t in any manner. Refer- ring to the characters of Shakespeare's works, he said it was his idea that they should be brought out in a modern way, and that the only hope for the continuance of the popularity of the great bard's piays lay in treating them in this manner. age ge ae oe Fresh Milk From choice dairy farms, owned and man- aged by practical Gairymen; double daily service if desired; price low, quality con- sidered.
