Miss Nora Cannon the Victim—Knock- ed Down and Kicked—Her As- sailant Identified. Miss Nora Cannon, a young woman who lives at No. 153 B street southwest, was assaulted and badly injured Saturday after- noon while looking through vacant house No. $17 South Capitol street. A young colored man named Elias Delaver, arrested by Precinct Detective Henry, has been identified by Miss Cannon as her assail- ant. He.is held at the fourth precinct station until the case can be more fully investigated. Robbery, it appears from Miss Cannon's report, was the man’s only motive. It was about 2:30 o'clock Satur- day afternoon when the young woman call- Capitol street, and was given the key to the vacant house.

The injured woman walked downstairs and fell in a faint near the foot of the steps. Restoratives soon revived her, and then she told her story of the occurrence. A telephone message sent to the police brought the fifth precinct pa- trol wagon, and the sufferer was taken to Providence Hospital. There were sev- eral cuts and bruises about her head and face, and she had lost considerable blood. Precinct Detective Henry, who visited the house, saw evidences of a severe struggle having taken place. Later he called at the hospital and fcund that, while Miss Can- non had been painfully injured, she was in ro danger. Her Story. Her statement was that she entered the basement door of the house and went to the first floor, wh2re she met a colored m He told her he was the watchman in eharge of the heuse, and offered to show her through. When the second floor back room was reached, she says, the colored man de- manded her money and jewelry, and then grabbed her by the throat. A desperate struggle ensued, during which she says the colored man attempted to choke her. When he was knocked down her head was kick- ed, and finally the man threatened to throw her out the window. The only thing taken from her was a gold ring that had been given to her by a friend some time ago. She had a necklace and other jewelry, as well as money, but these were not touched. Delaver may be taken to the Police Court tomorrow. os AMUSEMENTS. OPERA AT GLEN ECHO.—The Parry Opera Company opened a season of sum- mer opera at the Glen Echo Amphitheater Saturday night, with Gilbert and Sullivan's popular “Mikado.” The company, under the direction of Mr. Parry, is far superior to those usually heard in summer opera. The chorus singing, both of the male and female voices, is exceptionally good—quite up to the standard, in fact, of the more pretentious opera companies. Of the prin- cipals in the Mikado cast the work of all except the “three little maids” was of an unusually high standard. It would perhaps be more just to put it the other way and to say that while the work of the “three little maids” is fairly near the best ordinarily presented by summer opera troupes, the performance of the others is vastly su- perior. Viola D'Armon’s Katisha was par- ticularly fine. In addition to an unusually strong and musical contralto voice, she gives in her acting a most intelligent con- ception of the part of the ancient Japanese maiden, whose high breeding and peculiar personal charms failed to attract the re- gard of the son of the mikado. Jay C. ‘Taylor smgs and acts the part of Nanki Poo in a style quite up to the standard set by those who have won the highest plaud its In the character. Mr. Broderick makes an excellent Pooh Bah, and Mr. Tom Daly makes an unusually good Pish Tush. Frank Deshen as Koko and Oscar Girard as the Mikado furnished the comedy part, each interpolating enough original matter in his part to give it a strong individuality. They do not make the mistake of overdoing this feature, however, by marring the original rich droll humor of those parts with too many current gags. There was present a good andlence, rep- resentative of Washington's best society. The railway arrangements to take care of the crowds were fairly good, and, altogeth- er, summer opera at Glen Echo promises to prove both a gratification to those who will remain in Washington this summer and a financial success fur its promoters. pite of the rain yesterday the Sunday cred” concert, presented by members of the opera company, attracted a large crowd to Glen Echo yesterday afternoon.

DAHLGREN DEAD She Was for Many Years Prominent in Social ‘and Literary Circles. Perhaps Her Best Known Work Was the Life of Her Distin- guished Husband. After a long illness, Mrs, Madeline Vin- ton Dahigren died Saturday night at her residence, 1325 Massachusetts avenue. The remains will be removed this afternoon to the late country seat of Mrs. Dahigren on South Mountain, Washington county, Maryland, where the interment will be made. ~ The passing of this charming woman marks the definite close of an era in the history of the social and peiitical life of the capital. The daughter of the late Sam- uel F. Vinton of Ohio, for many years cne of the recognized leaders in Congress of the whig party during the antebellum era, his motherless daughter presided at en early age over his household, and was thus brought into intimate acquaintance with the leading statesmen and diplomats of trat day, for the home of Mr. Vinton was a center of genuine hospitality. Early wedded to one of the brilliant young lawyers of her native state, Daniel Convers Goddard, who was soon called to Washington to assume a leading part in the organization of the proposed new de- |. partment of the government, ‘the Depart- rent of the Intericr,” Mrs, Goddard, after @ brief residence in Ohio, returned to this city, which was to be the residence of her lijetime. The death of her husband, after a brief wedded life of five years, left her ith her two children, the mistress of her father’s house, which had been her home ard where she remained during her fath- er’s life. This home, long retained as the residence of herself and her children, never ceased to be a most attractive social cen- ter. Wedded to Admiral Dahigren. After a widowhood of thirteen years she became the wife of the distinguished maval hero, the late Admiral John Adolph Dahl- gren, whose memory she has enshrined in the “Life” which remains a moaument of literary ability and wifely devotion. Again her wedded life was brief. After some five years, during which she had accompanied the admiral on an extended cruise around the cgntinent of South America. his Geath, tragic In its unexpectedness, left her for a second time a widow with a family of three young children. These experiences, added to a natural gift, served to develop in Mrs. Dahlgren unusual executive ability. Nor, as is some- times unfortunately the case, did this di- rective habit of mind tend in the least to impair or modify a natural charm of man- ner, which to those who knew her best seemed her most winning characteristic. By her ready sympathy with the aspira- tions and efforts of the young, and her gentle graciousness and Christian charity to the suffering and the unsuccessful, she was a help to many, unknown to the world, who will ever cherish ker memory. Perhaps it was a gift of heredity from a beloved French grandparent that gave her recognized charm as a hostess. Gifted with exquisite tact, her simple we!conie pu: ail at ease. A Hospitable Home. For a series of years she entertained the Literary Society of Washington, and those evenings occurring twice a month during the season, were’made memorable. Litera- tur2, music, art and society were so deftly biended with a gracious hospitality that one could almost fancy that the historic salon of Paris, of a century before, had been revived. Invitations to these evenings were eagerly sought and highly valued. Th> sudden decease of her brilliant son, Vinton Goddard, was a fearful shock to the loving mother, and from that sad event, now some years past, Mrs. Dahlgren more and more withdrew from the gay world, so that many of the people who today make up the society of the capital city hardly know of the acknowledged social power she wielded for more than thirty years, Mierary Activity. Mrs. Dahigren early manifested an in- stinct for literary production, and, as long since as 1859, contributed to the press, over the pen-name of Corinne, occasional articles in prose and verse. Later she published translations of notable works from French, Spanish and Italian authors. Among them Montalambert’s brochure entitled “Pius IX,” an abstruse philosophical work from the Spanish, and “The Executive Power, a monograph by the late Marquis de Cham- brun. Autograph letters from the pop>, Mon- talambert, the Queen of Spain and other European authorities give great praise to the excellence of her work. She also pub- lish2d ‘The Life of Admiral Dahlgren,” al- ready referred to, and several volumes, tales, etc. A partial list includes Mountain Magic,” “The Lost “Lights and Shadows of a Life,” va Sketches” and “Etiquette of Social Life in Washington,” the last a wall-known text book of the peculiar etiquette of official so- cial life at the capital, besides a large number cf miscellaneous essays, reviews and short stories, which appeared in p2riod- ical publications. A Life of Activities. It will readily be seen from this incom- plete Ist of publish2d works that this life just closed could have known few idle mo- ments. In addition to pressing social and literary duties Mrs. Dahigren was ever the house mistress, with all the term implies. In her city hom:>, and at her summer res: dence on her estate of “Dahlen,” on South mountain, near Boonsboro, Md., she was ever the Lady Bountiful; to whom all look- ed for help and protection. Accustomed from childheod to take interest in public qu2stions she was intelligently and intense- ly patriotic. Charitable, generous and just; true friend and faithful adviser, she typi- fied the lady of the olden time. Four children survive, two daughters, the Baroness Von Overbeck, born Romaine Goddard, and Mrs. Josiah Pierce, born Ulla Dahlgren; and two sens, Erie and John Vinton Dahlgren. —-_—>____ . STATUES DRAPED. National Colors on the Monuments of Departed Soldiers. The statues throughout the city erected to the memory of men who were prominent in the defense of the country, both on sea and on land, are appropriately decorated with the national colors. The work was done under the supervision of a committee of the Grand Army, and as one of the fea- tures of the observance of memorial day serves to bring to the attention of the peo- ple generally the sentiment which the day represents. A great many persons are un- able to go far from their homes, and for this reason miss much of the public observ- ance of the great patriotic holiday. The flag-draped statues, however, call to the attention the meaning and significance of the day, and is as well an appropriate trib- ute to those whose memory the statues serve to help to perpetuate. —- TOOK A LONG TRIP.

IN’ GEORGETOWN ‘Fetterday. ‘Two Runaways-Alarm. of Fire and Other Local Notes of Gen- eral miterest. ‘The annual Mayqprocession of the chil- dren of the Sunday school of Trinity Cath- olic Church was held yesterday afternoon, and was witnessed by a large number of People. There were perhaps a smaller number of children in line than on previous occasions, yet several thousand people wit- nessed the procession as it moved over the route. The start was made shortly after 4 o'clock, the children forming in the Sun- day school hall. The procession was head- ed by the full number of acolytes, and after them came the small boys dressed in their summer suits, and each carrying a bunch of flowers. Behind them came the little girls, with wings fastened on their backs, and then came the speaker and her attendants, the heart bearer and the crown bearer or queen, each having two attendants. A drum corps from Gonzaga College furnished the music. The girls of the school completed the balance of the Procession. Miss Agnes Reagan was the crown bearer, attended by Miss Nellie Burns and Miss May Riley. The heart bearer was Miss Annie Burns, with Misses Mary and Katie Harrington as attend- ants. The speaker of the day, Miss Nellie Dugan, was attended by Miss Louise Gross and Miss Katie Boyle. The large banner was borne .by Miss Katie Schladt, while a smaller banner was carried by Miss Etta Taggart. Banners representing the mys- tertes were carried by Miss Annie Quack- enbush, Miss Josie Clements and Miss Nel- lie Case. The procession, after leaving the Sunday school, marched down N street to 84th street, north to Q street, west to 35th street, south to O street and thence into the church grounds by the side-entrance. The children were arranged in the form of a hollow square around the lawn, sur- rounding the statue of the Blessed Virgin. After the crowning of the statue the spéak- er, Miss Nellie Dugan, made a short and eloquent address. Under the leadership of Mr. M. J. Scanlan the children sang a hymn, and then sang “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” “The Star Spangled Banner” was also sung, after which the children marched into the church, where benedic- tion of the most blessed sacrament was given. The gates to the ground kere kept closed during the exercises, the public viewing the services from the outside. Two Runaways. There were two runaways yesterday in Georgetown, both of which created cos- siderable excitement, though no damage to other property was done. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon a horse attached to a dairy wagon of Storm & Sherwood became frigh‘- ened at 34th and T streets and ran down to R street, where the vehicle upset and almost completely wrecked it. The horse escaped harm. Shortly before noon two horses attached to a delivery wagon of the Arlington Bot- tling Company took fright on M street west of 32d streét. Fortunately the tnor- oughfare was ‘comparatively deserted, though the heavy wagon came near wreck- ing a carriage cortwining several ladies and gentlemen. The team ran over the avenue bridge ané@ tuFhed down 26th street on the way to the stables, going ut a break-neck speed: Inf making the turn at 28th and K stretts the wagon upset at the southwest cOrnef, snapping un iron hydrant like a pfpe stem and badly dam- aging the wagon, #attering bottles of soft drinks all aroun@. The horses esoup- ed injury. Alafm 6f Fire. An alarm of firé wa$ turned in Saturday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock for a blaze in the frame dwelling at 1206 S7th street, occupied by Tithe Brooks, colored. The fire was causéd by an overheatei stove being placed*too closé to a. wooden parti- ton. The fire engines quickly extinguished the blaze after reaching the scene. The damage is placed at #40." ‘The property wes insured. Special Sermon. There was a large crowd last evening at the West Street Presbyterian Church, the occasion being the delivering of a special sermon by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Alex- ander, D.D. George U. Morris Post, No. 19, Grand Army of the Repubiic, attended the services in a body. There were nearly fcrty men, mostly in full uniform, in tendance. ' 'fhe ladfes of Lafayette Wo- men’s Relief Corps also attended in a body. The text for the sermon was taken from St. Paul's remarks to the Romans, and was appropriate. The sermon itself was excellent, full of patriotism and good ad- vice, and was thoroughly enjoyed. Potomac Commandery. At the next stated conclave of Potomac Commandery, No. 3, Knights Templar, which will be held Wednesday evening, at Masonic Hall, the annual inspection of the crganization will occur. The right eminent commander, the vice eminent deputy com- mander and the eminent grand inspector of the Grand Commandery of the District will make an official visit. The knights of the commandery will assemble at the hall at 8 c'clock in the evening, attired in fatigue uniform. Man Stabbed. Thornton Robinson, an employe at Cabin John Bridge Hotel, was stabbed last even- ing at the place by another employe, whose neme he would not tell. From the story of the injured man, it seems as though he had been teasing the other man, who be- came mad, and, pulling out a knife, stab- bed him in the right chest, the blade of the knife penetrating the lungs. The wound, while not regarded as dangerous, was exceedingly painful. Robinson was brought to town on a car and then taken to the Emergency Hospital, where his wound was dressed. a The Royal Crescent. ‘The local iodges of the Royal Crescent have elected representatives to attend the annual session of the Supreme Lodge, which is to be held in this city on Monday, June 13, 1898, as follows: Washington Lodge, No. 1, E.

The new Ninth Street Christian Church, corner of Maryland avenue and 9th street northeast, Rev. E. B. Bagby pastor, was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies yes- terday and last evening. At each service the commodious building was filled to over- flowing. The structure, which is very unique in d2sign and appointments, has al- ready been fully described in The Star. The morning service began at 11 o'clock, the pastor presiding. After an organ pre- lude the doxology was sung, this being fol- lowed with an “invocation.” Th> anthem “O, Be Joyful in the Lord” was rendered by the choir, and after an offertory solo, “Come Unto Me,” by Mr. L. H. Ascherfeld, the report of the building committes was read by th> chairman, Mr. F, M. Bradley. Rev. E. D. Bagby. Mr. Bradley referred to the history of the church, and said it was meter for great Tejoicing that the congregation had made such remarkable progress since they first occupied, six y2ars ago, the little chapel which was demolished to give place to the rew Ninth Street Christian Church. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. F. M. Rains of Cincinnati, Ohio, from the words recorded in Matthew, vi:l0, ‘“Dhy Kingdom Com>." Dr, Rains’ address was @ tribute to the spread of Christianity, one evidence of which, he said, was the con- struction of the edifice then being dedicated, besides which thers were many other churches being organized every day in va- rious parts of the world. At appropriate intervals the choir sang the anthems “We Praise Thee, Oh, God,” and “God, Be Marci- ful Unto Us.” The afternoon service began at 3 o'clock and consisted of the sacrament of the Lord's supper and remarks by Rev. F. D. Power and Rev. W. J. Wright. ‘The formal dedicatory s2rvices began at 8 p.m. with Rev. Mr. Bagby presiding. The address was by Rev. Mr. Rains, who closed his remarks by reading the words provided for similar occasions in the ritual of the church, as follows: “Our Father, who art in heaven, we set before Thee this house, the work of our hands. Unto Thy service and the service of Thy kingdom we dedicate ft this day, In the name of the Christ, Thy Son. * * ¢ “We will endeavor to maintain it ever while it endures, a centar of prayer and praise, of loving friendship and proclama- tion of truth. Acknowledging our responsi- bility to Thee for all that we are and have, we ask upon it Thy blessing, and upon that Thou wilt teach us how, Jere and in all life, to do Thy will. ‘Estabif€h Thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands, establish Thou it.” Amen.” ‘The remainder of the program consisted of organ prelude, “Meditation;” invocation, Scripture reading, anthem, Venite, ‘0, Come Let Us Sing,” choir; offertory “A Dream of Paradise,” "Mrs. J. J. Castinett; anthem, “Te Deum,” “We Praise Thee, O, God,” church choir; benediction and organ postlude.

Services in memorial of the deceased members of Henry Wilson Post, No. 17, G. A. R., were held yesterday in Stanley Hall, Soldiers’ Home, by the surviving members. The music was furnished by the choir of the First Reformed Church, under the direction of Miss Facius, and the sermon was delivered by Rev. Gustav Facius. Farragut Post. Memorial day services were held yester- day by Farragut Post, No. 10, G. A. R., at Trinity M. E. Church. The pastor of tho church, Rey. E. D. Huntley, delivered an appropriate sermon. Luther Memorial Church. A sermon was delivered last evening be- fore the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., at the Luther Memorfal Church by Rev. J. G. Butler, D. D., the pastor of the church. A large number of Grand Army men attended, many in uniform, and were assigned seats which had been reserved for their use. The church was handsomely and appropriately decorated, and special music was sung, under the direction of Mr. J. H. Seiffert. In introducing Commander Hendricks of the Department of the Potomac, Dr. Butler referred to the fact that thirty-two years ago he had officiated at the wedding of Mr. Hendricks, who had then just returned from the war. Commander Hendricks then spoke briefly of the occasion and its sig- nificance, and then Dr. Butler delivered an address, which largely turned on the old, absorbing topic of the war with Spain. In conclusion he said: “While our war is neither for revenge, nor yet for the acquisition of territory, yet it will result not only in the freedom of Cuba, but in the larger liberty of the Philippines, of the Canary Islands, and even the peninsula itself, securing greater liberties to the people and introducing the school house and the free church. Pos- sibly it may result in an American pro- tectorate over these islands, which we are now struggling to pacificate.” Encampment 69. The memorial service of Encampment 69, Union Veteran Legion, at 910 Pennsyl- vania avenue, last night was worthy of the occasion. A large and appreciative au- dience was present. Senator Allen was not able to address the meeting, having to leave the city yesterday for Omaha to attend the opening of the exposition. Ex- Gov. Fletcher of Missouri, Gen. Thomas 8. Hopkins, Col. Dungan and Col. Kelley delivered short addresses, which were full of the spirit of the hour and frequentiy applauded. Prof. B. W. Beebe's Quartet rendered fine music, the other members be- ing Miss Emma Hunchen, Miss Margaret Storm and George M. Taylor; Mr. Stratton, accompanist. Miss Storm sang a solo, “The Holy City.” Miss Mamie B. Smith also rendered a solo. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags. Col. Bailey presided. Lieut. Col. E. B, Thompson crowned the vacant ¢hairs of the deceased comrades with wreaths of victory, and Mrs. Gladys L. Thompson placed a similar wreath on a chair in honor of the loyal women of the war.

Springs, Wells and Pipe Lines Far- mish It—How the District Troops Are Supplied. Gen. H. V. Boynton, being asked by a Star reporter about the published reports that the water furnished by the pipe lime at Chickamauga Park was filthy and not fit for washing purposes, that it came from a point whers men bathe and that the situa- tion is daily growing worse, sai: “Yesterday the man who wrote this dis- covered ‘rattlesnakes crawling in abund- ance’ over the men sleeping on blankets ‘stretched on the mountain ground.’ In the seven years that I have been riding, walk- ing and working in every portion of the park a rattlesnake has not been seen or heard of. Inexhaustible Supply of Good Water. “The river water furnished the camps at the park is taken from a point above the camps, where no wash from the park en- ters it, where no bathing is permitted and where the current is swift. Above this point to its source it is fed by mountain springs alone. One of these nearest the camp is the famous Crawfish spring, which flows 50,000,000 gallons a day. The valley through which the river runs above the park is much cleaner than the Potomac valley, as ther2 is not a single town upon it, and the supply to the source is from springs. Gen. Rosecrans’ entire army lived upon it for ten days before the butlie of Chickamauga and fcund it healthful. Be- fore I left the park I was informad by medical officers that there had been no sick- ness owing to change of water since the camp was established. How the District Boys Are Supplicd. “Water, which, with full knowledge of all the surroundings, I drink myself without hesitation, was flowing on Saturday into the camp adjoining that of the District regiment on one side, and from a six-inch main seven hundred yards distant on the other side. A thousand yards further, on @ good road, is an unfailing supply of deep well water raised by a force pump, with facilities for loading wagons from an ‘over- heng,’ which can be had for the hauling, and within sight of this is an art n well of inexhaustible supply, and unquesuioned quality. “The statement that the Chickamauga river is a stagnant stream and £0 polluted that those who bathe in it take their lives in their hands is as far from the fact as language could well mate it. “Yesterday I received the following re- pert, by telegraph, dated Saturday night, from Mr. Betts, the engineer of the purk, the 2d Nebraska camp to which he refers being the one immediately adjoining ibe District regiment: “**Pipe line laid into and alon of the 2d Nebraska and 24 M ter splendid and even surprizes me. clear and clean, and when pipe buried, will be cool.’” a CARRIED BY CHILDREN. Flowers. and Banners in Little Ones’ Parade Yesterday. The annual custom of the children of the Catholic Church, paying tribute to the Vir- gin Mary by carrying flowers to lay at the feet of her statues, was observed yes- terday in the Catholic churches of this city. Probably the most elaborate preparations were those at St. Aloysius Church, where about 700 children took part in the cere- mentes. These were under the auspices of the Sisters of Notre Dame. Although it was not until 4 o’clocs in the afternoon that it was expected the exer- cises would begin, for hours before that tme crowds blockaded the streets in the vicinity of Notre Dame School, while all along the line of march the crowd was 50 Children should always increase in weight. Not to grow, not to increase in flesh, belongs to old age. Present and future health demands that this increase in weight should be steady and never failing. To delicate children, Scott’s Emul- sion brings richer blood and firmer flesh. Better color comes to the cheeks and stronger muscles to the limbs. The gain in weight is sub- stantial; it comes to stay. 50c. and $1.00, all druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York. CITY ITEMS.
