Railway Affairs. Belief That the Company Will Soon Be Placed on New Footing—Re- ceiver Cowen’s Views. Bankers who are supposed to be well posted in regard to the internal affairs of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company express the belief that the period {s rapidly approaching when the property can be set on its feet and a reorganization effected. The last reports by the receivers were for March, and were as follo Receipts, balance February 28, $863, 55; miscel- laneous, $224,005.06; traffic, §2,029,037.20; total, $4,071,539.61; disbursements, miscel- Janeous, $2,140,814. traffic, , $713,449.62; total, $2,854,263.77; balance in hand, $1,163,- 275.84. Referring to the above, a leading Balti- more banker said to a Star reporter: “The only important thing about these reports is the fact that there is an appreciable in- crease in the balance on hand. This in- crease is, no doubt, due to the fact that very general defaults have been made, and possibly to reduced expenditures for main- tenance of way end betterments and tm- provemeats. “It is anticipated that the recetvers of the Baltimore and Ohio company are pre- paring to make as good a showing as pos. sible, with the view of arranging an earl: reorganization of the company and rear- rangement of its obligations. “Defaults have been made upon both of the sterling 6 per cent loans, on the Phil- adelphia branch, 4%s; the Parkersburg branch, 6s; the Pittsburg and Cumberland consolidated, fir: and second consoli- dated, the Belt railroad, Sandusky Mansfield and Newar! ewark, Some and Straitsvifle; Columbus and Cincinna Midland, and other roads, and it is proba- ble that default wili be made on the Chica- go division 5s, and possibly upon the con- solidated mortgage 5s. Scaling of “Tt is, of course, impossible to foretell how any of the obligations of the company will be treated under the to-be-proposed plan of reorganization, but the method gener- ally cbserved of protecting priorities and scaling securities not self-supporting may be e ed to be adopted. It is certain that large conc« 1s must be made, and it appears io be accepted as a fact that an assessment of $20 per share will be lev- ied upon the stock of the company, and that for such a: sment preferred stock will be given. “Of course, the levying of such an as- sessment "pon Baltimore and Ohio stock means that the property will be sold under foreclosure, as no one would voluntarily pay such an assessment. It will, however, be v gratifying to have the affairs of the Baltin:ore and Ohio Company arranged and the property set on its feet, and it is to be hoped that before long those who are considering the matter will be able to announce their plan.” Plan Not Yet Agreed Upon. Receiver John K. Cowen authorized the following statement in reference to reports regarding the proposed reorganization of the B. and O.: “It is not correct that any plan for the reorganization of the road has yet been agreed upon, nor do I believe that even the general lines for such a reorganiza- tion have been arranged. “The whole truth of the matter is that the financial world, ugh very much more settled than it has been, will await the result of the naval ergagement between Sampson's fleet and the Spaniards before launching any large financiai schemes. it is my belief that if Admiral Sampson succeeds in defeating the Spanish fleet in the engagement that is soon to come the financial world will look upon the war as settled, and operations will commence or be renewed without any reference to in- ternational complications. For this reason I believe nothing definite will be done in Baltimore and Ohio matters until the re- sult of Sampson's fight is known. “I will say this, however: I believe the various interests which hope for a reorgan- ization are closer together than they have ever been before, and that they under- stand better than ever before what they will have to give and take In this matter. 1 do not know who will be the under- writers of the reorganization plans. It is strongly intimated in some quarters that it will be Speyer & Co. Perhaps it will. Assessment of Stock, “The scheme for reorganization will un- doubtedly be an assessment of the stock. I believe that the assessment will be 20 per cent on the common stock. The stock- holders will, however, in my judgment, re- celve in return for this a certificate of value of some sort, which will approxi- mate half of the assessment. “In other words, I think that fn return for the 20 per cent assessment the stock- holders will receive something. I don’t know yet what shape it will take, but that which is decided upon will, it is ex- pected, have an immediate market value of 10 per cent of the par value of the tock. ‘This will make the net assessment 10 per cent. here will not be any great hardship in this assessment. It will not ruin any- ene. For instance, the net amount of the assessment of the Johns Hopkins Univers- ity, whe holdings ef common stock amount bout #,000 shares, would be The matter of the pre- of course, before the ecurities. to only about $30,000. d stock 1s still ts for settlement. ‘I have no idea who will represent the Baltimore stockholders’ interest in the re- organization plans. I expect to be con- sulted, of course, by the reorganizers, but will not represent the Baitimore stock- holders except as an officer of the com- pany and of the ccurt, looking out for all interests.""- ferre cou aoe Ascension Day Services. Ascension Thursday, or the holy day of obligation, is being celebrated in the Epis- copal and Roman Catholic churches today, services being held the same as on Sundays.

There are some good people in the cast, and it is a wonder that they do not use the pruning knife on the excrescences of the play, which action would add to the apprecia- tion of the audience and likewise reduce the necessity for horseplay. “A Bachelor's Honeymoon” is an original three-act farce comedy by John Stapleton. The idea of the author seems to have been to make as many complications, plots and counterplots as possible out. of the situation of Mr. Bach- elor bringing a new wife home to his sister and daughters and attempting to conceal everything from them about his marriage and from his wife the fact that he has two marriageable daughters. From this point the plot breaks into minor plots, like a bali of quicksilver dropped upon a plate and scattering in many directions. The audi- ence is kept busy maintaining the thread of the story connected with each character. The situations are amusing and capitally carried by the players, except when they permit themselves to become too boisterous in their efforts to impress the audience with the humor of the case. Mr. George F. Nash, whose happy countenance and cheery manner gre familiar to the play-goers of Washington, takes the part of Benjamin Bachelor, who marries in haste and has troubles from that moment. Mr, Nash is a good comedian, and last night furnished much of the life of the play. M. John I. Sullivan, who is also well known in Wash- ington, appears in a comedy role to ad- vantage. As Stephen Howston, a very bus; man, he busies himself with troubles of h own and other people's to the entertain- ment of the audience. Mr. Robert Pat Gibbs, as Dr. Ludwig Schwartz, who nurs a secret sorrow, made a decidediy favorable impression upon the audience. Mr. Gibbs work was well studied and conscientious ly performed. Miss Virginia Jackson, as Marianne, a maid, held the attention of the every one while she was on the stage. Miss Vella MacLeod, Miss Nita Sykes, Miss June Scofield and Miss Phylis Ashcom took the other feminine parts of the 1s THE LAMPS’ STAR GAMBOL.—The sale: of seats for the “Lambs’ Gambol,” to be given in Washington May 26, will open Monday morning, Mas at 9 o'clock, at the box office of the National Theater. It had been intended to have an auction sale in this city similar to that held in New York last Thursday, when several no Lambs appeared in the capacity of assist- ant auctioneers, but this plan was found to be impracticable, for the reason that se same Lambs are now actively engaged aring for their parts In “The Star Rehearsals are in progress in New York city, where every Lamb, how- frisky by nature, must bow to the edict of the stage manager without even saying “ba” in reply. ‘Those who perform in the capacity of stars in one skit may ers in the next, and the rule of ter Francais receives practical recognition by the Lambs, who are alway fraternal in their gamb Most of th skits have already achieved success in the elu : but, ke other plays, they re- quire rehearsals after an interval. The applications for seats for the gambol on M 6 include the names of many of the best families in Washington, and the indications are that the Lambs’ ‘star tour will be a triumphant success. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Mr. Jame: Young presented Shakespeare's “Hamlet” at the Academy ic last night _to a large and appreciative audience. Every actor who aspires to tragic roles wants to piay Hamlet, does every actress desire to be seen In Jullet. All, however, do not suceeed as well as did Mr. Young. His im- personation of the moody Dane was a care- fully considered presentation that contain- ed many evidences of deep thought and earnest study. He realizes the idea of Hamlet tn his handsome and expressive face and his lithe and graceful figure. In some of the scenes he was strikingly ef- fective, notably that with his mother, and the applause which greeted his efforts was fully deserved. His readings were gen ally correct and his conceptton of the char- eter did not depart from conventional lines, but his performance none the less interesting, for {t emphasized the favorable impression Mr. Young had made upon the Washington public, which will follow this young man’s career with interest in the bellef that he will develop into an actor who will leave his impress upon the Amer- {can stage. Tonight he will repeat “The Lady of Lyons.” ae ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. Wedding Ceremony at St. Teresa's Church—Other Local Events. Mrs. Kate Downs of Anacostia and Mr. William E. Wedding of Washington were married last evening at the parsonage of St. Teresa’s Church by the Rev. M. P. Sul- livan, pastor. The bride was attended by Mrs. E. C. Smith of Washington. Mr. Wingdman of the same place was best man. After the ceremony the newly married couple drove to their future residence, on Washington street, where a reception was held. Among those present from Washing- ton were Mrs. Margaret Desmond, Miss Ot- to, Mrs. Scisson, Miss Harris, Miss Laur- ence, Mrs. Laurence, Miss Buckley, the Misses King, Mr. and Mrs. Nally and Messrs. Hinnensich, Anderson, Brown, Windgman, Montgomery, Lincoln and Mr. and Mrs. Lugenville. ‘The recruiting office which was opened in the Anacostia post office building for the enlistment of volunteers has been closed. In the first District of Columbia United States Volunteers Anacostia is repre- sented by Major R. A. Pyles, regimental surgeon, and Messrs. Snell, Elliott Hoopes, James W. Marbury, Chas. Simpson, Geo. W. Taylor, Chas. Abernathy and others. The funeral of James T. Perkins, who died Monday, was held yesterday afternoon from Perkins’ Chapel, near his late re: dence, Springfiel, Prince George's county. Md. Mr. Perkins had many friends in Washington and Anacostia, some of his relatives living in the former city. He was in the seventy-fourth year of his age, was a prominent county politician, republican in politics, and held the offices of county surer and collector of taxes. He had been postmaster for the last fifteen years. Mr. Perkins was a large land owner. He donated ground about twenty-five years ago for a Methodist chapel, which’ was built and given his name. He leaves a wife and four children, the latter being Dr. James Perkins of Springfield, Edward Per- kins, real estate dealer of Washington; Mrs. Fillmore Bell, wife of the Washington attorney, and Clay Perkins, who is man- ager of his father’s property. Mr. Perkins had beeen in poor health for about three years. His funeral was largely attended. Anacostia Commandery, No. 423, U. O. G, met last night at Masonic Hall. Two new members were elected, and refresh- ments were served. One of the firemen from engine company No, 4 visited a friend at the Amacostia en- wine house the other evening. He hitched his horse and went inside, and soon after- ward the animal broke loose from the hitching post and ran away, falling into the hands of a man named Gaskins, who, when the rider called, refused to give up the horse unless he received a reward. A con- troversy arose and the attention of the po- lice Was called to the case. At a late hour in the night Gaskins concluded he didn’t want any trouble with the authorities and yielded the horse. —— Stock-Reducing Furniture Sale. Everything heavily reduced.

William Flaherty, ‘an aged man with white hair and beard, headed the «proces- sion of alleged vagrants in Judge Scott's court this morning. “This old man, with others, has been loafing about a saloon on H street,” said Policeman Cox. “He has been drunk for about three weeks. Only a few days ago he was in court and-your honor took his personal bonds.”” “I can't plead guilty to such a charge in my native city," said the old man. “If you didn’t get drunk,” said Judge Scott, “you would not be called into court on such a charge.” “If the police arrest every man who gets drunk,” said Flaherty, “you'd have some senators and representatives before you.” “And if they came under your circum- stances,” added the court, “they would go to the workhouse.” “There seems to be a fatality connected with my presence in my native city,” sald Flaherty. “1 was away for eleven months and Was never arrested.” “Did you get drunk while you were away?” = “Yes, sir,” the old man responded. “I’ve been unfortunate so far as drinking liquor 1s concerned.” ‘I'm going to give you thirty days on the farm,” said the judge, “and perhaps you will be able to overcome your appetite.” William Robinson, a painter, appeared next, and he was indignant that such a pilerce should have been preferred against “He's about the same as Flaherty,” said the officer. “He has been getting drunk and loafing about the same saloon.” Robinson denied the charge, and the court took his personal bonds, telling him he did so to put him on his good behavior. Daniel Young, a veteran, a native of Philadelphia and inmate of the Dayton, Ohio, soldiers’ home, was in the toils as a Yagrant because he had been found drunk and begging in the Capitol.

It fafled to pass, and it was well that it did; it would have been a very unwise and unfortunate move for the congress to have passed such a resolution, which would surely have alienated the sympathies of all patriotic men and women. ‘To be consistent, its movers should have offered a resolution of sympathy for the Turkish women whose sons were killed after the massacres in Armenia and Crete, and should have ap- proved of one that might have been of- fered for Sitting Buil’s mother and the ther Indian squaws after the Custer mas- cre, or for the English mothers during the American revolution. Then there are the mothers of the Fiji Islanders, and the savages of the wilds of Africa, and the pirates of Meroceo and Borneo, and all other cannibals and slaughterers of mis- jonaries; while they aro about it, they might as well extend their sympathies them also, and deprecate the barbarities of war against their sons. Such maudlin sentiment is on a par with the gush poured cut over murderers and marauders. If Queen Christiana had ever expressed any sympathy for American mothe.s, there might be some excuse for it; but we have never heard that any other than official and perfunctory expressions of sympathy were made by her. And how about her toleration of the massacre and starvation of pactficos, and of the torture and murder of political prisoners in_Cuba and at the fortress of Monjuich in Spain? Is the preservation of a corrupt dyna and the care of one mother for her son's interests of so great value that a holocaust ot unnumbered innocent victims should be made a foundation for them? In fact, it is somewhat absurd for us to be declaring for the brotherhood of man without mak- ing any exception, while some people are most unbrotherly in thelr conduct toward us. It may be said that, when we are smit- ten on one cheek we should turn the other cheek to the smiter; but any nation that followed that Christian precept literally would fall below contempt and soon be wiped off the face of the earth. The American people have declared for war, in their estimation a righteous war; to ex~ press sympathy for Spanish mothers would be tantamount to expressing condemnation of our soldiers and sailors who may Kill the Spanish sons, and of our government and people that order them to do it. you doing here?” the court the court The advocates of peace may, as we do, regret the necessity for war; but they should not let their intense desire for peace lead them into condoning, much less into tacitly approving, the conduct of those who, by their treachery, lust and blood- thirstiness, and by their insulting and con- temptuous affronts to our people and flag, have brought down upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongs and atrocities. When Spain's overweening self-satisfactton and pride shall have been lowered; when she shall have been taught the bitter lesson that the United States and their flag cannot be insulted with impunity; when she shall have expressed contrition for her sins of omission and commission, we may then with propriety pass resolu- tions of sympathy with Spanish women. At the present time, however, they are not only in bad taste, but indirectly reflect upon the American and Cuban mothers whose sons may have brought mourning and desolation to Spanish households, in compulsory requital of their own injuries. How can we approve of the heroic exploits of Commodore Dewey and his gallant men, and at the same time sympathize with the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of those enemies of his, who would, if it were in their power, burn him alive and torture and assassinate every American soldier? Tt {s allevery well to believe abstractly in the brotherhood of man, but there cannot be genuine brotherhood ‘unless it is recip- rocal, and it will scarcely be claimed by even the most optimistic of peace advo- cates that the people of Spain have any fraternal sentiments or compassion for Americans, any moro than for the people of her colonies who have rebelled against her exactions and oppressions, May 18, 1898, LILIAN PIKE. —-___ The Editors’ Reception, Auditor and Mrs. Wiliam Youngblood en- tertained last evening at a reception at their residence, 1841'L street northwest, the visiting Alabama editors.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, =* Entertainment by Ladies’ Aid So- clety—General and Personal. The Ladies’ Ald Society of the West Washington Mission of Mt. Vernon M. E. Church South closed a successful two-day fair and festival last evening at 1305 324 street. The proceeds will go to a fund which will be used in defraying the cost of improving the mission, which is located on 33d street abovo Q street, and was for- meriy used as a mission of the West Street Presbyterian Church. The building will be repainted inside and out, and also thor- oughly renovated. The ladies of the s0- ciety who assisted at the festival were Mrs. G. B. Cornwell, Mrs. R. H. Bryan, Mrs. Virginia Smith, Mrs. Frederick Hur- dle, Mrs. Stallings, Miss Gertrude Athey, Miss Lizzie Graves, Miss Nelile Vinson, Miss Bessie Vinson, Miss Eva Coates, Miss Nellie Moore and Miss Louise Bryan. In addition a number of other ladies not mem- bers of the soctety assisted. Rev. J. W. Beall, assistant pastor of Mt. Vernon Church, is pastor of the mission, and under his direction the work of improv- ing the present chapel will be done. The congregation, which is rapidly increasing, has in view the purchase of a suitable site and the erection of a church. Nothing definite has been done in the matter as yet, though plans and projects are being formed. A _meeting will be held Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock at St. Stephen’s Church, corner of 25th street and Pennsylvania avenue, at which preliminary arrange- ments will be made looking toward the for- mation of another council of the Knights of Columbus, to be composed of residents of the western portion of the District, in- cluding Georgetown. At the meeting Sun- day evening the aims and objects of the organization will be explained. The call for the meeting is signed by Clement S. Ucker, G.K.; Bernerd F. Locraft, D.G.K.; Edward F. Harrington, R.S.; Dr. A. D. Wilkinson, F.S., and Charles Rauscher, treasurer. The establishment of the camp of the District regiment near Falls Church has resulted in an increased trade for George- town. Sutlers have sprung up on all sides. One man was anxious to place an order with a Georgetown house for 500 small ries per day. He wanted a reduction from the present wholesale price, but this was refused because of the present high rate cn flour. It is also stated that a two-horse wagon loaded with cases of beer was start- ed .to the camp yesterday, but the entire load was disposed of before the destina- tion wes reached. The sales of tobacco, fruits and small cakes are reported to be quite large.

Since the arrest of a man from Charles county, Md., under suspicion of being a Spanish spy, and his subsequent release by the court, the police have been in receipt almost daily of information of the pres- ence here of alleged emissaries of the en- emy. All such complaints are carefully in- vestigated and some of them prove to be extremely ridiculous. Several persons among the many tramps arrested have been charged with spying, but in no case could the suspicions of the officers be sus- tained. The latest report of this kind was re- ceived at police headquarters this morn- ing. The complaint came from a young woman who lives in Baltimore. She came from Florida to this city, reaching here early this morning. On the train her at- tention was attracted to two dark-com- plexioned men whom she believed to be Spaniards. Their actions, she stated, were stspicious, and she noted them carefully while on the journey. The men did not get off the train in this city, she said, but ecntinued north. It was her opinion that they should be arrested. She gave the de- tectives good descriptions of the suspects, and concluded her story by saying she did not want the newspapers to get the story of her complaint, as she expected to con- tribute to the newspapers herself. In several instances men who have beat bearding house keepers or have committed petty robberies in such houses have been reported as probable spies, but the proof was lacking in each case. —_+—_.

My limb trou- bled me very much for 12 years before I succeeded in healing the sores. A few years ago I received a blow on my crippled foot from a large plece of timber, which cut through the flesh. It festered and became a ruaning sore. I was not satisfied with the effect of the medicine prescribed for me and procured a bottle of Hood's Sarsa- parilla, When I had taken it the fnflam- mation was gone.

Sometime toward morning the men went to Guillot’s home, and shortly after daybreak Guillot gave Cheshire money to get more liquor, and he went cut to purchase it. Upon re- turning to Guillot’s home, however, Ches- hire noticed that Guillot was asicep and that his gold watch and chain were in the latter’s vest pocket, which was hanging on @ nail in the room. The further allegation was that Cheshire abstracted the property and took the chain to a saloon, where he sold It for a drink of whisky. He pawned the watch for $10, and within half an hour afterward he was arrested by the detectives named, Simply a Questi p ion ode ETERS s SESS of Time The largest gathering of Red Men ever seen in this city was that at the reception tendered by Idaho Tribe, No. 15, last night at its wigwam in Northeast Temple to the great council of the District of Columbia and visiting chiefs.
