William Thomas, a colored school boy, who lives at 1026 3d street southwest, was assaulted about 10:40 o’clock last night on the lot near Delaware avenue and K street southwest, to which point he had been at- tracted by the flying horses. He was struck on the head, it is thought, with a brick. The fourth precinct patrol wagon was summoned and the injured boy was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Fife found that his skull had been fractured. So serious was the wound that an operation was found to be necessary, ard his skull was trephined this morning by Dr. Vaughn of the house staff. It is be- lieved th2 boy will recover. The police were informed that a boy known as “Speck’’ Gaines had thrown the brick, and a description of him was sent to the different police stations. This morn- ing the officers had not succeeded in find- ing him. WILLIAM C. LLOW DEAD. Prominent Citizen of Washington and Former British Subject. William Callow died yesterday at the residence of his son-in-law, Alpha W. Per- ham, 621 22d street northwest. He was in his sixty-ninth year, and had been a resi- dent of this city and of the old first ward for many years. He was a native of Eng- land, and when a young man enlisted in the English army. He received a medal from the British government for gallantry, and three separate bars attest his special services at the battles of Inkerman, Alma and Sebastopol. At the conclusion of the war Mr. Callow became attached to the suite of Lord Napier, British minister to the United States, and came to this coun- try with him. On the recall of Lord Na- pier Mr. Callow, who had married Miss Jessie Robinson of this city, remained here and engaged in various mercantile enter- prises. Mr. Callow leaves three children—Robert and William, both business men of the city, and Mrs. Alpha W. Parhar.. He was & member of Mount Vernon Lodge, Knights of Pythias.

Mrs. Emma Berry of 2017 H street north- west opened her parlors to the regular meeting of the West End W. C. T. U. last evening. Miss Clayton read Scriptures, and Mrs. Scott led in prayer. Mrs. Clinton Smith, the president of the union, called for the usual reports. The department of Sunday school work was represented by Miss Carrie McGlue; the evangelistic de- partment by Mrs. Berry and temperance literature by Miss Maggie Brooke. Mrs. Katherine Scott asked for 100 pledge cards for immediate use. In speaking upon her department of non-alcoholic medica- tion, she deprecated the giving of liquor to our scldiers as an act of courtesy, as is scmetimes done. She said she had a son in the army, and for his sake all the boys in blue are dear to her. Others who had scns in the army spoke feelingly of them, and expressed pleasure in the belief that the sale of liquor is prohibited in national camps, and said Fairfax county, with its lccal option law, is a@ more suitable place for a national camp than license territory would be. Mrs. M. V. Noerr reported the distribu- tion of temperance bookiets on Decoration day. Work against one saloon was re- ported. Miss Alice M. Clayton, principal of the Hayes School, spoke upon scientific temper- nce instruction in the public schools, and stated that when the pupils of the eighth grade in her building had completed Dr. Stowell’s text book every one but four signed a total abstinence pledge, which they themselves had formulated. ‘fhe treasurer reported receipt of a check for $10 from Mrs. Elizabeth H. Catching for the Willard Temple in Chicago. Refreshments were served by young ladies visiting in the house, and a social hour was enjoyed, after which Mrs, Irwin, a@ delegate to the mothers’ congress, re- cently held here, read a paper prepared for that gathering. Delegates to the quarterly meeting of the District W. C. T. U., to be held in the Ninth Street Christian Church, June 14, were elected as follows: Mrs. Fernandez, Mrs. Durnbaugh, Mrs. Eiker and Mrs. Berry; alternates, Mrs. James Hilton, Mrs. A S. Taylor, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. George. ——-_>—. Held for Action of Grand Jury. William Lancastcr, colored, was today held by Judge Kimball in $600 ball for a jury trial, to answer the charge of assault- ing Sophie Lewis, also colored, and with corrying a pistol concealed on his person. After striking the girl, it is alleged, Lan- caster tried to make his escape on an siec- tric train, but was captured by Officers Ricketts and Cooney just as he was about to jump from a rapidly moving car. pia The Usual Penalty Imposed.

Farmer Injured by Falling From His Wagon—Marriage Solemnized Yesterday — Other News. Anacostia Tent, No. 138, Independent Order of Rechabites, held a meeting a few evenings ago in its new hall on Harrison street, when the official visitation of the officers of the Grand Tent of the District took place. The evening was enlivened with speeches by R. W. Johnson, grand chief ruler, James H. Dony, grand high secretary; Dr. E. W. Kirby, A. K. Belt, John Welch, Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, R. E. Smith, J. T. Farr, and others. Anacos- tia Tent was organized in 1882, and has ad- var.ced to a prominent place in temperance werk in this secticn. Injured by a Fall. A farmer named Kirby, living about a mile south of Anacostia, fell from the seat of his high farm wagon, about noon yes- terday, at the corner of Monroe and Jack- sen streets. He narrowly escaped being crushed under the heavy wheels, and, as it was, sustained severe injuries about the head. When he fell his horses became frightened and ran awey, but wero halted after going a couple of squares. Kirby re- fused to be treated by a physician, and mounted his seat once more, though it was evident he was suffering. Must Obey the Law. The large numbers of bicyclists who now visit this section and Congress Heights every evening will not be allowed to vio- late the law requiring them to have their lamps lighted after dark. Policeman Stew- art made the first arrest for this offense this seascn. The bicyclist, who gave the name of J. Frank McKeever, clerk, resid- ing in Washington, left $2 collateral, which he forfeited. Finotti-Heiskell Marriage. St. Ignatius’ Church, Oxon Hill, Prince George's county, Md., was the scene of a very pretty wedding yesterday at noon, when Miss Susan Mary Helskell was united in merriage to Mr. Gustavus M. Finottl, in the presence of an assemblage that filled the edifice completely. The bride is the youngest daughter of the late Dr. P. H. Heiskell of Maryland, and the groom is a ranch owner in South Da- kota. The chur-h was beautifully decorated for the occasion with evergreens and white roses. Rev. M. P. Sullivan, pastor of S Teresa’s Chirch, Anacostia, was the offi- cisting clergymen, being assisted by the Rey. Francis Schwallenburg, assistant pas- tor of St. Teresa’s, and Rev. Joseph C. Mallon. The ushers were Mr. James Heis- kell, a brother of the bride; Mr. James Sul- livan of Philadelphia, Mr. Frank English and Mr. Joseph Rodgcrs. Mr. and Mrs. Finotti left on the 6:50 o'clock train for Philadelphia last evenir to visit Mr. John Finotti, a brother of the groom, for a few days, ‘after which they will leave for their future home in Yank- ton, 8. D. Personal. Mr. Frank Green of Virginia is visiting his brother, Mr. James Green of St. Eliza- beth Heights. ee DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD. Nine Hundred Men Enrolled and Re- cruiting in Progress. A meeting of the officers of the National Guard was held last night at the head- quarters of the District militia, Col. May, commanding the brigade, presiding. From reports made at the meeting It was ascer- tained that there are at present 900 men enrolled in the Guard, and that the com- manders of the different companies are re- cruiting in a small way. Col. May asked that each company be recruited up to a full strength of 100 men, to be held in readiness for any call. A requisition will be made for arms and uniforms as soon.as a statement of what is needed can be se- cured. An opportunity will be given all who wish to go to Ordway to indulge in target practice. Recruiting for the District Naval Bat- talion continues at the armory, about 30 names having been added to the rolls last night. It is expected that the members of the battalion will be given active service in the navy soon after their complete forma- tion is effected and the men have been given a litle preliminary training. The various recruiting offices of the Ist Regiment of Colored Volunteers have been busy for several days past enrolling the names of those willing to go to the war as immunes. Col. Ruffin, in command, be- Neves the roster of the regiment will be complete next week. A meeting of prom!- nent colored citizens will be held at Sam- aritan Hall, I street between 2d and 3d southwest, ‘tonight. There will be patriotic speeches and the progress made with the regiment will be announced. Lieut. Parker, who is recruiting a com- pany for the 4th Regiment of immunes, will occupy the quarters at 1008 Pennsy! Vania avenue, where Capt. Broome's com- mand was organized. ana ABANDONS HER BABE. Infant Left at a Hotel by Neatly Dressed Woman, A neatly dressed woman, about thirty- five years old, and evidently a stranger in the city, abandoned a baby at the Dum- barton Hotel yesterday afternoon. She failed to return last night, and Inspector Mattingly had the infant sent to St. Ann’s Asylum. It was afterward learned that a weman answering the description of the supposed mother of the child nad been seen in the Baltimore and Potomac depot. She passed through the gates just after the ar- rival of a train from the south, in company with another woman. A porter directed her to the Dumbarton, where she went with her child and a small amount of bag- gage, the latter consisting of a market besket and small box. She seemed fatigued and the hotel people gave her a room, as she said she wanted to rest awhile and wask the baby. After remaining in the room about an hotr she left the hotel, saying ehc wanted to make some purchases, the child being left in the care of the housekeeper. This was about 4 0’clcck in the afternoon, hen the woman had not returned at 8:30 o’clock the affair was reported to police head- quarters, with the result stated. ——— CONDENSED LOCALS. “Guilty,” pleaded Tom Brooks when called in Judge Scott's court this morning on a charge of vagrancy- “I just got out yester- ry. “He had a Knights of Labor card,” the court was told by Policeman Mzllen, “and was begging.” “Two months on the farm.” A tent worth about $15 was stolen from Havenner’s woods Wednesday. It belonged to George Clark and had been used by members of the National Sporting Club. A number of ths club members had encamp- ed in the woods for several days, and Wed- nesday afternoon, after they broke camp, the tent was taken. About 4:30 o’ck yesterday afternoon there was a slight. in the shed in rear of the residenceof Dr. J. C. McGuire, No. throw! 1757 P street.

Of all the delightful short trips that oné may take for a few days of rest and recre- ation there are none which surpass a stay at Fortress Monroe, This famous old re- sort is probably the most widely known of all the summer places on the Atlantic sea- board, and receives its guests not only from all parts of this country, but from the old world as well. From this city to Fortress Monroe is a very pleasant trip, indeed, if the journey fs made on the steam- ers of the Norfolk and Washington Steam- boat Company. These fine river steamers form the only direct route from this city to Fortress Monroe, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News. They are handsomely furnished, are lighted by electricity and are favorably known for the general excel- lence of their accommodations, service and cuisine. One of these Steamers leaves 7th street wharf daily at 6:30 p.m. If you want to enjoy life go with the Washington Saengerbund on its annual excursion to River View next Sunday. As all Washingtonians know, the fact that it is the Saengerbund excursion assures all who attend an enjoyable time, and there will doubtless be a very large turnout to attend it. These Sunday trips of the Pentz at this season of the year are particularly enjoyable, and on Sunday next there will be plenty of good vocal music by the Ger- man singing organizations of Washington, the River View Orchestra, under the lead- ership of Prof. Chris. Arth, jr., will be heard in concert, and bowling contests for handsome prizes will take place between the bowling clubs of the city. The fact that there are no mines in the river be- tween Washington and River View, and that the Pentz does not have to go into the mine field off Fort Washington to land at the View wharf, will add much to the attendance. The steamer Pentz will make three trips, leaving her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 10:40 a.m., 2:20 and 6:15 p.m. Tickets for the round trip can be had of the members of the Saengerbund and at the wharf on the day of the excursion. For the ladies and children who desire a@ Gay’s outing on the river nothing could be more pleasant than a trip to Glymont and return on the steamer Estelle Randall. The steamer is a new one, handsomely fit- ted ott, with plenty of deck room, where the cool breezes can be found. Landings are made at_ historic Alexandria, Fort Foote, River View, Fort Washington, Sher- idan’s Point, Gunston, the home of George Mason, and Glymont. Ali these points are historic and instructive. The steamer leaves the River View piers, foot of 7th street, daily, except Sunday, at 9:30 a.m., and, returning, reaches Washington about 3:30 p.m. ‘The popularity of the steamer Jane Mose- ley was shown by the large number of ex- cursionists who took advantage of her first trip to Colonial Beach last Monday. It was surprising, considering the ‘lem ent weather, that 400 people were carried. ‘The second special trip will take place Sun- day, June 5. Every one who took the trip is now satisfied that there is no danger in passing the mines opposite Fort Washing- ton, and all can rest assured that the Mcseley management can guarantee to iand passengers in Washington at a rea- scnable hour after passing a pleasant nine- heurs’ ride on the Potomac, giving them three hours at the beach. | Never before have such meals been served nor has the boat ever been in better or cleaner condi- | The best of order is always main- | ticn. taired and a large proportion of the pas. sergers carried were ladies and children. peer greener AMUSEMENTS. “THE HULA GIRL.”—“The Hula Girl” was presented at the Lafayette Square Theater last evening, after many discour- agements and disappointments, by the Co- lumbia University Vaudeville Club, to an extremely appreciative audience. This bright burlesque, containing numerous catchy songs, was staged and executed with the skfll of professionals, the entire performance reflecting the greatest credit upon every member of the company, and especially upon W. H. and Arthur Percy Harris, the author and composer of the vely. Vaudeville Club showed its thorough sical training throughout the play, the choruses especially being rendered in mag- nificent style. “The Hula Girl” gives ample opportumty for a variety of effects that are extremely pleasing. The plot of the bur- lesque is found in the trials and tribula- tions of the Queen of the Sandwich Is- lands, who as Lity-o'-Killarney, makes an amusing character. In the first act the queen issues her new constitution, and is dethroned by Jole in order to make him- self president, but she is saved by Rover Greveland for a time, though eventually Rover's assistance is of no use to her. The second act depicts the regime of Jole, and the unsucessful attempts of Rover Greve- land to again place Lily upon her throne. The burlerque is bright in its every part and do2s not allow the attention of the au- dience to flag. James Cathell made a highly amusing Queen Lily. Wm. A. Morsell as Jole made a great hit, his song, “If I Were Prest- dent,” pleasing the audience and calling forth much applause. W. H. Harris ap- peared as Rover Greveland and was round- ly applauded. Clarence V. Howard as “Speckticles” made a hit, as did Francis R. Dooley as Officer O'Hooligan and Chas. L. Parker as Ko-Dak. S. Clark Cross as Princess Koylani and Paul W. Evans as Baby Truth made very good-looking girls, the former fully justifying the affection bestowed on her by A. Bertrande Shader as Kapiolani. “Golden Sun” was perhaps the most catching of the topical songs, and was rendered by a thoroughly trained chorus. “Tt Will All Come Out in the Wash” had very popular features. “Oh, My,” and “Princess, Gently Sleep,” are also pleasing songs. The Hula-Hula and Danse-de-ballet opened the second act and was given with such splendid effect by Caruana as to win a double encere. The Vaudeville Club will remain at the Lafayette during the balance of the week, and will doubtless be highly successful. Mr. Arthur’ Percy Harris played the ac- companiments on the plano, and the good singing of the club made the audience almost forget the lack of an orchestra. COLUMBIA THEATER.—The presenta- tion of “Brother John” was more in line with the comedy traditions of the Colum- bia Theater's summer organization than “Held by the Enemy.” The play is a brisk cemedy, with good opportunities for the performer who assumes the title role. The commendation earned by the company in its first prdduction this year applies equally to “Brother John.” The homely pathos and the unassuming humor are woven to- gether in a straightforward conventionat way, which convey the intimation that the author's ambition was to create a practi!- cal and effective means of entertaining the public and not to set up any claim to su- perior inspiration. Ordinarily comparisons are to be avoided in connection with a summer season; but in this case they may be safely invited. The first successful ex- ponent of a character identifies himself with it for all time. It is no disparage- ment to Mr. Crane to assert that Mr. Bar- rows’ portrayal of the unpolished yet shrewd, uncultivated yet noble-hearted hat seller was a bit of work which left no yearnings. Very sensibly Mr. Barrows has proceeded upon his own ideas and avoided the sense of incompleteness which always arises when an actor is discovered in mere imitation. The other parts in the play are not powerful in their requirements. Mr. Ingersoll, Miss Maud Haslam and Mrs. Findlay awakened the appreciative demon- strations which the audiences at the Co- lumbia hold in constant readiness for them. The performance had the evenness and spirit which evinces an appreciation of popular regard and a determination to re- tain it. ———— Shooting Scrape. The case of George West, colored, who last night surrendered himself at the third precinct police station, after shooting Mary L. Coleman, also colored, in the head, was teday continued indefinitely by Prosecutor Mullowny. According to the statements mada to Mr. Muillowny, a difficulty occurred between ‘West and the woman because the latter, returning from an excursion with ‘West, had a conversation with one Arthur and the ball pene- ead, inflicting a severe but ot necessarily dangerous ‘The in- jury was attended to at the Hospital.
