Angell’s Death Due to His Own Recklessness. Result of the Inquest Held Yesterday Afternoon—Deceased a Stranger in the City. Coroner Carr held an inquest yesterday afternoon at the sixth precinct station in the case of Thomas W. Angell, who was killed by an electric car near the crossing at 3d street and Pennsylvania avenue Mon- day night, as published in yesterday's Star. The jury heard the testimony of several witnesses and returned a verdict of acci- dental death, exonerating the motorman. Sergeant William F. Falvey, who was a passenger on the car, testified that he saw @ man leave the sidewalk and walk toward the car. When he felt the car strike some- thing he jumped off, and found the man ly- ing on the street. He had been cut, and was bleeding freely. It was his opinion that the car was going within the speed provided by the regulation. Witness also said that the gong was sounded, and he thought the motorman had been given a signal to stop at the 3d street crossing. Aubrey R. Anderson of Bowling Green, Va., told the jury that he witnessed the ac- cident. He was walking along Pennsylva- nia avenue at the time. The man who was killed started in the direction of the car “When he got near the track,” said wit- ness, “he gave a yell and seemed to throw himself in front of the car.” “Was he drunk?” asked the coroner. “Yes, sir,” answered witness. “I saw him about an hour before the accident hap- pened, and he was pretty full then.” Edward F. Farley,615 East Capitol street, said the man’s conduct indicated that he was insane. He saw him start across the street and at first witness thought he was going to try to get on the car. “Did he appear as if he were going to cross in front of the car?” “No, sir,” replied witness, “he seemed as if he wanted to knock the car off the track.” Drunk or Crazy. N. H. Robinson, colored, who keeps a barber shop near Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street, said the car was going at the usual rate of speed. When he saw the man's peculiar actions he thought he was either drunk or crazy. “It looked to me as {f the man wanted to cress: the tracks,” said witness, “but he seemed to do what he did as if he had a spite against the car, or something like that.” Motorman James Akers, who was in charge of the train, testified that Angell was within about ten feet of the car when he saw him. He had his hands in his vest pockets and was looking witness in the face, laughing. Witness applied the brake and called to the man to keep off, but the latter sprang in front of the ‘car. He thought the car was going about six miles an hour. The police have been unable to ascertain anything of the man’s previous life. Pa- pers found on him show that his name was Angell, the name he gave when he was locked up Monday on a charge of intoxica- tion. fe was about thirty-five years old, and his wearing apparel indicated that he probably had no home. There was an old razor found in his pocket, as well as some papers. Should no one claim the body Su- perintendent Schoenberger will have it buried in potter's field tomorrow. + Petition for Receiver Denied. Judge Cox has passed an order denying the petition for a receiver to take pos- session of the Tavistock Fiats, in the case of the Anglo-American Savings and Loan Association of ) York and others, com- plainanis, against John H. Walter and others, defendants, thereby permitting :he holders of the equity of redemption to retain possession of the property and con- trol of the revenues therefrom. It is said the object of the case was to avoid the effect of the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of E. M. Willis and others against the Eastern Trust and Barking Company, which, in effect, decided that to obtain possessicn of mortgaged prop- erty in this District after default and fore- closure required the rescrt to an action of ejectment. The complainants were represented before Judge Cox by Messrs. Ralston & Siddons, and Messrs. Lambert & Lambert appeared for the defendants. +. “What Royal Glue sticks stays stuck.” 10c. —Advertisement. ——— Verdict Against Railway. Jennie L. Smith and her husband, John H.

There were some deficiencies noted in his work, of course, and it would be a surprising matter if errors could not be picked out in the act- ing of so young a man, but in the main it can be said that his excellencies more than counterbalanced his weaknesses. Mr. Young gave the prologue to the comedy, rather an unusual thing, and in it made tae best of several opportunities to demonstrate his skill. He did not overdo his work, and the faults that may be attributed to him were rather in the line of elocutionary methods. The many famous scenes in the comedy that have become so well known to old theater goers were on the whste ad- mirably acted, the drunken scene gaining the young actor enthusiastic applause. AS in the “Lady of Lyons,” there was evidence of careful thought and study in his work, and his whole impersonation afforded grati- fication to the discriminating observer, for it indicated that this young man has that in him which, when ripened by mature judgment and longer experience, will one day be a worthy successor of Lawrence Barrett, the best Garrick which the Ameri- can stage has seen. Mr. Young was capa- bly supported by Miss Rida Johnson as Ada, Charles Pierson as Simon Ingot, El- mer Buffham as Squire Chivy, Frederick Forrester as Burbridge, Clarence Belair as Cibber and Edith Lees as Araminta Brown. Tonight Mr. Young will appear in ‘“Ham- let.” COLUMBIA COMEDY COMPANY.: ext week th Columbia Comedy Company, un- der the management of George P. Conn and the stage direction of James O. Bar- rows, wiil open its second summer season at the popular F street playhouse. The favor which Mr. Barrows won last summer as leading comedian of the company fs suf- ficient guarantee of what it will be under his direction, especially as he will continue to play the line of parts in which h2 cap~ tured all Washington. The supporting com- pany has been selected with great care in view of the ambitious program which Mr. Barrows has laid out, and the management feel safe in announcing th2 strongest sum- mer stock company ever organized in Washington. The leading man will be Wm. Ingersoll, who won laurels galore here last summer, and whose excellent work in sup- port of Nat C. Goodwin is still fresh in the public memory. The leading lady will be Miss Maud Haslam, who is well remember- ed for her work here in support of Freder- ick Bond, as well as for her success in the leading role of “‘A Paris Model” when it Was produced at the Columbia last season. It may be sald of these two leading people that they can play any sort of parts, “from grave to gay, from lively to severe,” and all well. The leading juvenile will be Ed- ward Mackay, son of the famous o!d actor, F. F. Mackay, and brother of the local fa- vorite, Charles Mackay, whom he is said to resemble greatly. Mrs. Agnes Findaly will be the inimitable “old woman,” wii the veteran actor, J. R. Furlong, in oppo- site parts. Eleanor Browning and Evange- line Irving, two handsome eand talented actresses, will be leading juvenile and sou- brette, respectively, while John Lancaster, Geo. Bass, Frank ’M. Cornell and Milton Hutson and Alexander Kearney will com- plete a strong cast for the opening bill, William Gillette's celebrated war play, ‘Held by the Enemy.” Seats on sale to. morrow morning. LONDON BELLES EXTRAVAGANZA COMPANY.—Rose Sydell’s London Belles Extravaganza Company, an organization of repute, with a fresh program and many new faces and new features, will be at the Lyceum next week. It is announced by the management that the program will consist entirely of new acts and up-to-date novel- tes, comprising far comedy, vaudeville and extravaganza. Cafe de l’Amerique,” a farce comedy full of snap and embellished with the latest songs and music, opens the show, and is followed by an entertaining olio, in which will be seen the following artists: Campbell and Shepp, the favorite German comedians; Edgar’ Bixley, the musical tramp; Hart, Walling and Weston, in a new sketch of good singing and danc- ing; Miss Winifred Stewart, the phenom- enal baritone, and the Langdons, in illus- trated songs. The conclusion of the pro- sram is an extravaganza, called “The He of Sham Pain.” This abounds in funny scenes, good music, droll comedians and shapely girls, and it is sald to be entertain- ing, being elaborately costumed and well staged. A feature of the performance will be the appearance of Miss Josephine Gass- man, who is described as the “pumpkin- colored coon.”” Miss Gassman is an excel- lent delineator of the darkey characte: and her specialty, in which she is assisted by a pair of real “pickaninnies," has been ex- tensively praistd wherever she has ap- peared. MANAGER KERNAN’S BENEFIT.— Monday, May 31, is the date decided upon for the annual testimonial benefit to be tendered Manager Eugene Kernan of the Lyceum. His friends have organized for the purpose, and everything will be done to make this event successful both artistically and financially. The entertainment to be presented will be a purely professional one, a well-known organization in its entirety having volunteered for the occasion. Tick- ets have been on sale for several days, and from present indications the capacity of the Lyceum will be inadequate to accommodate the manager's friends, who will accept this chance to manifest their appreciation of his efforts to please them during the regular season. MARGARET ROSA.—The Bijou Theater still runs merrily along, another big bill be- ing announced for next week. Several new features will be introduced, Margaret Rosa, prima donna soprano, belng one of Man- ser Grieves’ leading cards. Luella Miller, a debutante in vaudevilie; Maud Caswell and Arthur Arnold, in a wonderful act con- sisting of the most difficult tricks known, performed easily by Miss Caswell in fuli dress costume; Williams and Adams,known as the Monte Carlo Millionaires, will be on the list, and Cora Routt, the piquant, saucy comedienne, will be welcomed by her host of admirers. GEITYSBURG.—A drama entitled “Get- tysburg” will hold the boards at the Grand Opera House next week. It is from the pen of Mr. Frank G. Campbell, who has al- ready several successes to his credit, and the scenes are laid around Richmond and the famous battlefield of Gettysburg. The play {s in four acts, and the scenes are said to be quite realistic. The scenery is all new and painted specially for this pro- duction; the parts are well distributed in the hands of capable artists, and many new faces to this section will portray the parts of the brave ones who fell for their country’s honor. A vein of comedy runs through the four acts, which relieves it from the scenes of death and destruction. Usual matinees Wednesday and Saturday. ——+__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. News Items Gathered in Vicinity of Aqueduct Bridge. Georgetown will be well represented in the Ist Regiment of District Volunteers, which is now at Camp Harries, near Falls Church, Va. Capt. Looker, in command of Company H, is a son of Gen. W. H. Look- er, who for many years was paymaster in the navy, but who is now on the retired Ust, and Capt. R. Douglass Simms of Com- pany I is also a well-known resident of this place and quite popular in social cir- cles. His appointment as captain gives general satisfaction. Besides these officers there are a rumber of other Georgetown boys in the regiment, serving in various ca- pacities. The annual May ball of the dancing classes of Miss Kate Masterson, a former Georgetown resident, was held Monday evening at Carroll Institute Hall, and was @ very successful affair.

Complaint ¢6f «= Celestial Who Has Been Mhr@atened — Fears Pessomal Violence. Complaint hes been made to the police which indicates a probable renewal of the Chinese troubles that occurred here three years ago, when Ah Sing, one of the laun- drymen, was shot by an alleged highbinder. That trouble resulted from a cut in the rate charged for laundry work, and the trouble now brewing is attributed to the same cause. Ah Sing, who figured in the former trou- ble.as the victim of alleged persecutors, is the one who has made the recent complaint. He is very much frightened because of a visit made by three celestials, believed to live in “Chinatown,” who, it is suppos- ed, are connected with the union. The threat alleged to have been made is to have Ah Sing put in jail, kill his wife and two children and inflict personal injury to Mrs. Sing’s aged father. When the trouble occurred three years ago, Ah Sing was in business at 4% street and Missour! avenue. At that time he had his wife and one child and his father-in- law to support, and when business got dull he inaugurated the cut-rate business. This caused a falling off in the business of other leundrymen, and, it is said, a com- bination was formed against him. No at- tention was paid to his complaints, then made, until he was murderously assaulted in front of his own place of business. ‘Then the other Chinamen endeavored to show that Sing had shot himself, but the loca- tion and direction of the wound showed that he could not possibly have fired the shot. Following the shooting Sing and his sympathizers were arrested.on a charge of conspiracy, but the charge was ignorgd. Sing now states he is afraid he will be egain subjected to assault. About two weeks ago, he said, three Chinamen called at his laundry, No. 1413 324 street, and or- dered him to take from his window a cut- rate advertisement, which he declined to do, as he did not belong to the union. The Chinamen, he said, had told him that un- less he stopped the cut-rate business he would have to pay $200. A fine of $10 he was told had already been imposed, and a cousin of his, he was informed, had paid the fine. Upon his refusal to comply with their demands, he said, they made the threats stated. Sing has his aged father-in-law with him. The father-in-law's wife was a white woman, so that Mrs. Sing is the daughter of a white woman. She is a Christian, while her husband holds to the Chinese religion, and has a joss temple in the rear of his iaundry. He has been assured by the police that his fellow citizens have no right to regu- late his business, and they will protect him against their assaults. Ah Sing does not visit Chinatown,” nor does he associate with his fellow countrymen, and he is en- deavoring to keep them away from his laundry and to prevent their interference with his business. —__.__.

FOR ‘Word has been received from New York pas ree 3 that the scholarship which ts awarded annually among the pupils of the Art Students’ League in this city has been won by Miss Mary Ellen* Sigsbee. The scholarship gives the holder a year’s tuition in the New York Art League, and is an honor much coveted by the pupils. of the local institution. Miss Sigsbee, who is a daughter of Captain Sigsbee, has been working in the league for some years, and is considered one of its most promising stu- dents. In the life drawings upon which she won the scholarship the action of the figures is notably good, and she seems to have a happy faculty of expressing the easy grace of a pose in simple flowing lines and well-rounded contours. In addition to the regular work that she has done in the school, Miss Sigsbee has drawn some very clever iliustrations for various periodicals. The work by Mr. A. P. Spear was adjudged next in merit, his drawings displaying a satisfactory knowledge of construction and bearing evidence of careful study. aa a GRADUATES IN PHARMACY, The District Commissioners have adopted the following regulations for the examina- tion and licensing of midwives in the Dis- trict of Colunibia, submitted by the board of medical supervisors for approval, under date of the 9th instant: “All persons desiring to practice mid- wifery in the District of Columbia shall apply to the board of medical supervisors for licenses so to do.
