Rightcenth Annual Meeting of Uni- versity Alumni—General and Personal. There is a growing impression amcng the members of the faculty and the Jesuits at Georretown University that, in the course of a few days, a change will be announced in the rectorship of the institutien. Just what b: there is for the belief cannot be learned, but the members of the faculty are now firmly convinced that a change will be made in a very short time. The previous rumors of the resignation of t present rector, Rev. J. Havens Richards, were denied at the time, but now a change has come over the minds of all, and it wes stated yesterday to a Star reporter by several of the faculty that a change was looked for in a few days. Rev. John Con- is regarded by some as the most probable successor. Rey. Father Richards ts still sick. He is in New York endeavoring to recuperate. Had he been in any way able he would un- doubtedly have attended the commence- ment exercises of the university yesterday. Alumni Mecting. After the commencement exercises yes- terday at the Georgetown University the eighteenth annual meeting of the alumni was held, Judge Martin Morris presiding. There was a short business meeting, at which resolutions, introduced by the secre- tary, Mr. E. D. F. Brady, were unani- movusly adopted, regretting the absence of President J. Havens Richards and extend- ing to him sympathy in his illness. At the close of the business meeting the anrual banquet was held, whica was at- tended by several hundred people. Father Tom Sherman, chaplain of the 4th Missouri Volunteers, was one of tle guests, and he delivered a sirring address. Mr. J. Neal Power, a graduate of the classical depart- ment, and also of the law school, also de- livered a brief address. Marriage. Miss Minnie Schultz, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J.

Regulation to Prevent Carrying Cer- tain Packages by Railways. Mr. George"T. Dunlop, president of the Capital Traction Company, does not think it advisable to make a police regulation Prohibiting the carrying on street cars of baskets and packages of soiled clothes. The District Commissiohers have been con- sidering the advisability of such a regu- lation, and addressed Mr. Dunlop on the subject. He believes that the various rail- road companies of the District could better control the matter by adopting regulations of their own, but he suggests that if the Coramissioners should adopt a police regu- lation. covering“the matter, parties ,carry- ing objectionable packages and baskets, and not the conductors of the car lines, should be made subject to punishment. Dr. W. C. Woodward, the District health officer, agrees with Mr. Dunlop, believing that. at the present time no necessity for the proposed regulations exists. In view of these opinions it is understood that no regulation will be made. Not at the pres- ent time, at least, it is said. a COURT OF APPEALS. Work Completed and Adjournment Taken Until October, The Court of Appeals has completed the work of the term and has adjourned until the. first Monday of October, or rather, stands adjourned from day to day until that time, so that the court may be re- convened at any time, if occasion demands, upon the call of the chief justice. The court has been in session quite con- tinuously since the Ist of October last, and has decided in that time 110 cases, fil- ing 110 opinions. It has cleared its docket and disposed of every case that was ready for hearing. Only five cases are he.d over under advisement. The Court of Appeals is therefore fully up with its work, and even in advance of it. >+— A LONE WOMAN'S HOME. Emma Rhone’s House Damaged by Fire This Morning. The fire department was called out be- tween § and 9 o'clock this morning by the sounding of an alarm from box 3: Flames had been discovered in the shanty oi Emma Rhone, an elderly colored wo- man, in Carter's alley near 19th and E streets. There was not a great amount of damage done, but the woman will feel her less very much, for the place had been her home for more than twenty-five years. She was sick this morning, but about 8 o'clock she arose from her bed to make herself a cup of coffee. She started a fire and went out in the yard to get an additional sup- ply of fuel. When she started back to the hcuse she discovered smoke coming from between the old pieces of tin on the roof. She was so much excited that she could hardly make an outcry. When the firemen reached ker home they found Emma out in the yard looking out for her dog. The firemen were careful not to destroy the structure, and while a portion of the roof had to be removed most cf the building was left standing. 0 you think I can get permission to repair my home?’ Emma asked Sergeant MecNevly. “You know,” she added, “I bur- ied my father and mother from this house, and Ive been living here a lone woman for nine year.” ‘the police estimated the damage at $10. The property was not insured. > EXCURSIONS, The River View excursion resort was never more popular than it is this season, and daily many hundreds visit that pretty resort and have a good time. Yesterday the steamer Pentz made the first of this on’s personally conducted week day trips, and durirg the day over 1.500 ladies and gentlemen went to the resort. Danc- ing, the chute, etc., afforded amusement, and alli came home wel pleased. Today the united councils of the Royal Arcanum are going to the View, and a large thing is looked for. This is the only resort on the river that can be reached without crossing over the mines of Fort Wash- ington, Md. On week days the Pentz makes her trips at 10 a.m., and Chapel Point, Charles county, Md., of the pretties resorts on the riv those who wish for a pleasant thirty-six- hour outing should take the steamer Harry dall from her wharf, foot of 7th street, uunday,Tuesday er Thursday at 7 a.m., returning on alternate days.

At Chapel Point fine salt water bath- ing, crabbing, iishing, etc., can be had, and the guests at the hotel have a hop every night throughout the season. This is a de- lightful trio and will doubtless prove very popular. _——— VIOLATE THE LAW. Boys in Blue Charged With Disor- derly Conduct. Wiliam C. Nelson and Albert Dunn, privates in a Nashville, Tenn., r2giment, in camp near Falls Church, were prisoners in the Poli Court this morning. They were arrested yesterday by Policeman O'Brien, who charged them with disorderly conduct. The young men were under the influence of liqvor and one of them, Nelson, seemed to delight in upsetting bicycles and their riders. Elmer Miller, a small white boy, and John Ferguson, a young colored mn, were victims. “One of them was drunk and he kicked my whi veg .” said the Miller boy. “Why are you crying?” Mr. Pugh asked the boy. “I don't like this place, anyway,” was his onse. “rias tha court hurt you?” “No, sir.” The boy told Judge Scott that drunken- ress was the soldier's only excuse, and Ferguson gave similar tesumony. Ne.son made a statement in his own be- half, in which he said that Ferguson, to whom he referred as a “nigger,” had fol- lowed him. Neison wes fined $5 and Dunn was re- leased on his personal bonds. “Won't your honor let me go this time?” asked Nelson. “If you do I'll behave my- seif jn the future.’” “Pay your fine first,” remarked the court, and tnen behave yourseif. ee Virginia Hot Springs, Eight hours from Washington; via Chesapeake and Ohio ratiway.

Shortly after 8 o'clock the graduates filed onto the stage and were seated, the young men resplendent in full dress suits and the girls in white graduation gowns. Tne ex- ercises of the evening consisted of musical numbers and speeches by the representa- tives of*the four branches of work in the colored schools, with a final address to the graduating cinsses by Rev.

Mr. Guy spoke of the scientific work in progress in the colored schools in & most, interesting manner, while Miss Sprague’s address on “Character Building” was one of sound advice, especially to the young men. and women of the normal class.

Samucl Williams Accused of Causing Child's Death. Yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock Frank Douglass, - colored, infant child of Carrie Douglass, who lives at 3413 Sherman avenue, Mount Pleasant, died suddenly, and Policeman Jett was called to the house to make an investigation. He arrested Samuel -Wiliams, a young colored man, and locked him up on suspicion that he had caused the child’s death. The offi- cer’s information was that the man had thrown the boy on the floor and stamped on him. This information was given by Lucy Douglass, six years old, a sister of the deceased. Willfams was arrested and taken to the eighth precinct. He made a denial of the charge. He had called at the station a few minutes after 4 o'clock and reported that the physician to the poor was wanted to attend the child. Five minutes later the death was reported by another man. The body was removed to the morgue. Today about noon Deputy Coroner Glaze- brook performed an autopsy on the body. He found that death had resulted from hemorrhage of the brain and evidence of an external injury to the head was found. Coroner Carr held an inquest in the cass this afternoon at the sixth police station. Deputy Coroner Glazbrook told the jury there was a hemorrhage of the brain shown by the autopsy, and this caused death. The hemorrhage, he said, followed an injury to the outside of the head. Carrie Douglass, mother of the dead child, testified that yesterday morning wken she went to work she left Samuel Williams, the prisoner, in charge of her children. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he came aad told her the baby was sick. Then he ran home, and when she reached the house she found him smoothing the child’s face. She accused him of killing the babe. She-said he made no response. Her little daughter told her that the de- fendant had taken the child out of the crib and put his foot on its body. The accused boy said the child bumped its head against a chair. Maria Dodson, colored, the child’s god- mother, said the prisoner came and :old her the child was sick, and five minutes later he returned to her house and told her that it was-dead. Policeman Jett told of the arrest. The brisoner denied that ne had injured the child. Witness said the defendant has four or five brothers, and it seems natural for them to be cruel. The prisoner has been locked up several times since his re- lease from the penitentiary, where he was sent for larceny. The jury returred a yerdict holding Will- ioms for the action of the grand jury, and he was committed to jail. SS REQUISITIONS HONORED. Gov. Tyler's Demand for Arrest of Certain Parties, Requisitions for the arrest of Daniel Ben- ton, Bosewell, George Heath, Harry Reilly and Joseph Heath were presented this morning to Chief Justice Bingham at the city hall by Sherif William H. Palmer, acting for Governor J. Hoge Tyler of Vir- ginia. Joseph Heath is wanted for assault to kill, committed in Alexandria county, and the others are charged with keeping and exhibiting a gaming table in the same county. The men are in this jurisdiction and the chief justice at once signed the order for thelr apprehension. Learning of it, they notified the court, through their attorney, Edmund Burke, that, excepting Joseph Heath, who has enlisted in the army and is now in Cuba, they will appear at the city hall tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, Accompanying the requisitions are the Papers showing the legal steps taken by the Virginia authorities. The presentments in the cases of alleged gaming are dated March 3 last and the wit- nesses in these cases are Stephen Beach, Allen Nour: R. L. O'Dowd, Joseph Robin- son, Randolph Robinson, Joseph W.

An Interesting and Valuable History Compiled for the Senate, The historical part of the report of the joint select committee of Congress to in- vestigate the charities and reformatory in- stitutions in the District of Columbia has been delivered to senators in bound form and can be obtained upon their order. This third velume completes the report of the Jeint select committee, the first volume ceentaining a verbatim report of hearings and the second volume the general sum- ming up and recommendations of the re- port. The historical portion of the report com- prises the most comprehensive history of charitable and reformatory institutions in the District of Columbia that has ever been written. It is the work of Mr. Charles Moore of Michigan, clerk of the Senate committee on the “District of Columbia, whose researches in order to compile the bock have been very extensive, and have ccnsumed much time and labor. There is little doubt that it will be the basis for all future historical work dealing with these institutions of the District of Columbia. The velume 1s thoroughly indexed and divided into chapters on the following subjects: The first, general hospital, the Government Hospital for the Insane, the Columbia In- stitution for the Deaf and Dumb, govern- ment hospitals and asylums, general hos pitals, hospitals for special classes, Found- ling ‘Asylum, orphan asylums, industrial schools, Institutions for women, homes for the aged, temporary refuges for men, re- formatory institutions, the relief of’ the poor, the organization of charities, the beard of children’s guardians. The volume comprises 224 pages and about 90 handsome illustrations. Be BUSINESS BEFORE COURTS. Criminal Branch to Hold July Session —Equity Trials.

Justice McComas will sit several days more to hear motions and dispose of minor busi- ness.

The body of the colored mar: found in the river neas Shepherd's, as published in yesterday's Star, proved to be that of Willfam Davis, a fish dealer, who had but one arm. He was drowned off the steamer River Queen Sunday night while on the re- turn trip from Notley Hall; where he had spent part of the day.

Scott saw very little of him after they separated, but before leav- ing the boat he was told that Davis had been drowned. He heard several stories of the affair. The first was that Davis had jumped overboard, and later he was told that a man had thrown him in the river. This morning a namber of the dead man’s acquaintances called at the mofgue and told of the stories they had heard, but none of them had witnessed the affair.
