Testimony to Show the Lad Was In- jared by Falling Down an Embankment. This morning at 11 o'clock Coroner Carr held an inquest at the sixth precinct sta- tion ia the case of the small boy Fr2derick M. Eslin, who died from the effects of be- ing struck with a plece of coal Wednesday morning, near 7th and I streets northeast. Thomas F. Collins, the fireman on the B. and O. railroad who was arrest:d on a charge of having thrown the coal, was present with several friends. He was rep- resented by Attorney M. J. Colbert, while Mr. Laskey was present in the intzvest of the government. It was evident to the minds of the jury that the boy recefved his injuries by falling down the bank beside the railfoad track, and a verdict to this effect was rendered. Mr. Collins was thereupon released. Mr. Collins is well known in Northeast Washington and has been in the employ of the railroad company for eleven years. People who know him are certain that h2 never had any idea of hurting the boy. What he did they are satisfied was done for the purpose of saving the boy's life. Engineer Chadwick's Testimony. F. F. Chadwick, 1208 12th street north- east, was called. He was asked to tell the jery what he knew of the injuries to the bo: “I don’t know anything about it, answered. “Then why were you called as a wit ness?” “I suppose because I was on the engine,” he answered. “In what capacity?” “As engineer.” = Witness said he knew nothing of any coal having been thrown from his engine Wednesday morning. Thomas F. Collins, he id, was fireman on the engine, but witness knew of no trouble he had with boys the morning stated. Do boys ever bother the trainmen by throwing at them?” the witness was asked. “Yes, sir,” he answered. “They annoy us very much at times.” “Did you ever know of trainmen throw- ing coal at bo; the coroner asked. never di Witness said the number of his engine was 709. Description of Injuries. Dr. L. B. Swormstedt, who is Mr. Eslin’s family physician, testified to his treatment of the boy. Wednesday afternoon, he said, the boy was brought to his office and he fcund a wound in the region of the right eye. The wound was filled with small particles of coal and witness was satisfied that there was a fracture of the skull. Be- cause of the nature of the wound, witness advised that the boy be removed to the hospital, but he objected so strongly to go- ing there that he was taken home. Thurs- day the patient was taken to the Homeo- pathie Hospital, where he died later in the day. Witness assisted Dr. Ayler in mak- ing the autopsy. He advised Dr. Ayler to call in the coroner before making the topsy, but the latter told him not to call the coroner. He had the permission of the boy’s parents to make the autopsy, and that was sufficient. The autopsy was per- formed, and it was witness’ opinion that the blow caused death. Dr. A. E. Ayler, resident physician at the Homeoprthic Hospital, deseribed the condi- Gon of the patient when he was brought to the hospital, and also told of the au- topsy. He said he could not say what was the immediate cause of death. It may have been from the anaesthetic or it may have been from hemorrhage. Alva Teeple, 1152 Florida avenue, testi- fied that he found £slin in a kneeling posi tion near the Blair School Wednesday morning. There was a wound over his eye, and witness wiped off the blood with his bandkerchief. Esiin, ne said, told him that he heard somebody call “Look out!” and when he turned a piece of coal struck him. Accuses Collins. Hugh Bartlett, nine years old, of 1412 I street, testified that he was on his way to school Wednesday morning, and was walk- ing behind Eslin when he saw the piece of coal thrown. “Do you know who thre: wus asked. I know hts name.” ‘Would you know him if you were to see him?” “T think I would.” he y i?"" the wit- n “Look around,” sald the coroner, “and see if he is In this room.” “There he is,” said the witness, pointing to Collins. “And wnat is his name ‘Thomas Collins.” ‘Are you sure that Collins threw the coal?” “It looked to me like he threw it.” Witness said that after throwing the coal Collins svooped as if he were going to throw again, and witness jumped bebind a tele- graph pole. The engine was backing to- wards the round house at the time. Witness said he knew of no reason for Collins to throw the coal. He knew that boys frequently annoyed the trainmen by throwing at cars. Not long ago two car windows were smashed and the boys had to pay for them. Some boys, he said, have been suspended from school for throwing at cars. The engine was backing towards the round house at Trinidad. Further questioned by Mr. Lasky, witness said he did not see the man when he ac- tually threw the coal. He saw the coal come from the tencer and Collins was the y man on tender. 's said he loitered between home and school. He did this because the boys t school made fun of him by calling him “Dewey,” on account of his sailor clothes. He gave the name of another boy whom he said had witnessed the affair. In His Own Behalf. ‘Thomas Collins, who was under arrest, testifizd that he was on the tender of the engine on the day charged, and saw two boys, one assisting the other, who was walking on the track. He called to the boys to get off the track, and he picked uv @ piece of coal to frighten them off. Th> boys fell and rolled off the track, and he said he thanked God they were safe. He then threw the coal on the tem and it may have bounced off. Collins said his conscience was ciear, for he was certain no cecal from his ha had struck the boy. “Was there any coal on the track or the bank?" Collins was asked. “There was som? ballast and cinders there,” he answered. ‘The hoys were only about forty feet from the engine when they went down the bank, he said.

The location of the wound showed that this could have easily been done.

Meeting in Its Interest to Be Held Tomorrow Evening. The first meeting in this city in a cam- paign begun in New York by Rev. £. Law- rence Hunt to create an interest in the George Junior Republic, will be held in Metropolitan M. E. Church, 4% and C streets northwest, tomorrow evening be- ginning at 8 o'clock. Representative C. H. Grosvenor of Ohio will speak, and Repre-. sentative Ray of New York, in whose dis- trict the Junior Republic is located, will preside. Jacob Smith, the boy president of the Junior Republic, will tell of its work- ings. He spoke a year ago to a crowded house in Henry Ward Beecher’s old pulpit, in Brooklyn, and captivated the people. One of the Cuban lads who has been for some months at the Junior-Republic will say in a few words what it has done for them. Rev. Hunt will be present also. It is a novel social experiment being tried in the Junior Republic. It has attracted widespread favorable comment, and the eftizens of Washington will have an oppor- tunity to learn more of its workings than ean be obtained otherwise. It is claimed by its promoters that it goes truly to the root of the most difficult social problem of the great republic. a EXCURSIO! The all-day trips to Colonial Beach are becoming very popular. The,Beach looks brighter than ever with its newly painted coitages, sitting in the groves of beautiful shade trees. The weather is just warm enough to enjoy a good salt water bath. Quite a number of people are going to Somerset Beach. No point on the Potomac offers better inducements for a day’s outing. Fully five hours are given to excursionists to bathe, fish and boat, and the shade on this point is fully equal to sheltering’ 5,000 people. For today and Sunday the Mikado Club and an excursion given for a charita- ble object are booked for the Beach. Prof. Naecher's erchestra will furnish the music. The meals on board the Moseley are still the talk of every one. The Beach has quite a number of good hotels and accommoda- tions can be had at reasonable rates. The boat reaches Washington at 9 o'clock each night. The steamer Charles Macalester should certainly be well filled tomorrow when she makes both the morning and afternoon trips to Marshall Hall. The weather bureau promises another hot Sunday, and Marshall Hall is the place to go when the days are uncomfortably warm in the city. Even though the temperature may be the same, it seems so much cooler at Marshall Hall, under the huge old shade trees and on the wide porches of the mansion. A good breeze, fresh from the river, is always blowing there. Sunday at Marshall Hall need not be entirely a day of rest, for there are plenty of harmless amusements that those who care to may indulge in. Prof. Schroeder’s band will be on hand to give those enjoyable sacred concerts on the steamer and at the Hall. An excellent table @hote dinner will be reSdy in the big din- ing hall when the steamer arrives. Mar- shall Hall clam chowder still occupies its accustomed place on the menu. Steamer Charles Macalester leaves 7th street wharf for rshall Hall on Sundays at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The Caledonian Club excursion to River View yesterday was one of the most suc- cessful ever given by this society. Club weather, good feeling and. perfect order made it pleasant for everybody. The ar- rangements to cater for the amusement of the children were very successful, and prizes for races were secured by Misses lrene Jordan, Jennie Richardson, Mildred Thomas, Grace Jardine, Elsie Jordan, Ag- nes Jardine, Lotta Brakhagen, Miss Bertha Edwards and Miss Lottie Cook. Prizes for boys’ races were won by Leon Hines, Lam- bert Collins, Harry Pirie, Harvey Sparks, Jack Moss, Irving Thomas, Louls Pirie and Grover Williams. A good exhibition of high leap secured prizes for Louis Pirie and Grover Williams. Ladies’ wheelbar- row race, blindfolded, excited much amuse- ment, and Miss Mabel Montgomery and Mrs. Jordan won. The Highland Fling competition aroused the enthusiasm and warmed the hearts to the tartan, and the prizes were awarded to Misses Florence Stewart, Mamie Armitage, Minnie and Lot- ta Brukhagen. Two steamers, the Samuel J. Pentz and the Estelle Randall, will make trips to- River View tomorrow, Sunday, so that all who wish to visit the resort can do so without having to travel on a crowded steamer. These Sunday trips are very pop- ular, particularly with the merchants and business men of Washington, who take ad- vantage of them to spend a day in the country, away from the heat and noise of the city. No matter how hot it may be at home, cool breezes from the river can al- ways be found at River View, and nothing can be more delightful than sitting on an easy chair under the shade of the trees listening to good music by the View orches- tra These concerts ere a feature of the Sundays at the View, though the chute and other attractions are also ready to give pleasure. Tomorrow trips will be made at 11 a.m., 2:45, 3:45 and 6:15 p.m., and after 5 p.m. trips homeward are made every two hours. Capital City Commandery, Knights of Malta, will give its annual’ excursion to River View on Tuesday next, and if all signs do not fafl there will be a large at- tendance of the friends and members of the commandery. Capital City Commandery has been giving excursions to River View for some years past, and they always have enjoyable excursions. On Tuesday the steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 .m., 2:15 and 6:30 p.m., and frequent trips homeward will be made. The fun-produc- ing “shoot the chute” will be in operation all day and evening, and there will be musie and dancing from the arrival of the morning boat until the last boat leaves at night. Besides this there are dozens of other attractions on the grounds to amuse the visitor and help htm to pass a pleasant day. ———— First Excursion to Niagara Falls and Return vin Pennsylvania Railroad.

Difference of Oninion as to Increase of Valucs—Those Who - ‘ Were Weard. Gen. John M.: Wilson, Engineer Commis- sione® Beach, Gen. H..V. Boynton and Mr. R. Ross Perry of thd Rock Creek Park commis3sion resumed ‘the hearing at 3 o’clock-yesterday afternoon at the District building of the matter of special benefits to property within a quarter of a mile of the park limits. Quite a number of the land owners, accompanied by their attor- neys, were present, and, after hearing sev- eral witnesses, the meeting was adjourned until 3 o’cleck this afternoon. A Resdlation. Mr. Calderon Carlisle, on behalf of the Property cwners, submitted the following resolution, which the commission took un- der consideration: “That any party interested in the pro- ceedings of this commission is hereby grant- ed leave to submit, in writing, at any stage of the proceedings, such objections to the manner or method of proceeding or such exceptipr te the rulings of the commission as he may be advised are necessary or ex- pedient for the protection of his rights, and if such objection is overruled, the same shall be entered on the minutes of the com- mission, and a copy of each entry be sub- mitted with the report of the commission to the court.” : Mr. Carlisle then suggested a form of in- vitation to witnesses, for which he asked approval, in view of the fact that the ecmmission is not authorized or empo: ered to subpoena witnesses. A general dis- cussion followed, it being decided by the commission to invite all present to testify, and Stenographer Hulse, who is an ex- aminer in chancery, was requested to ad- minister oaths to the witnesses. Witnessen Heard. Mr. James M. Johnson of the firm of Riggs & Co., was the fizst, and in response to questions of Messrs. McKenney and Carlisle. said the park is practically un- improved. He believes no special benefits have been derived by the surrounding prop- erty from the location of the park, and is of the opinion that the establishment of villa sites and probable dotting of the hill- tops by handsome suburban cottages would have enhanced the value of property to a great extent. Replying to Mr. Perry, he ecknowledged that he did not think the presence of the park ‘would interfere with the onward march of improvements in that direction, but that, ef his personal knowledge, he knew of no building !m- provements in the quarter-mile limit since the establishment of the park. Mr. E. B. Townsend, a local real estate dealer, stated that he considers the pres- ence of the park a positive damage to ad- jacent property. He believes judicious buy- ers have been very cautious to keep outside of the limits of the proposed improvements, and said that he knew of but one sale in the neighborhood within the last threo years. ho Mr. Perry Mr. Townsend said that people have been loth to buy in the proxim- ity, owing to the agttation of this proposed assessment for alleged benefits. He saw nu reason why he should pay for improve- ments to ground sarrownding or adja to his property. any more than he wovid pay for the beautifying of his neighbor's house, and that, as the District of Colum- bia had been charged with the payment of one-half of the prive @f the park, every property owner in the District had already paid his share, and ‘ithough it may be in- finitesimal, he did mot see why those who were unfortunate enough to own property within a quarter of a mile of the park should be expected "to pay twice. Mr. J. T. Dyer, a real @state dealer, stated that from his own ‘experience in trying to negotiate sales in that neighborhood, he has found that the park has always been a detriment to the:consummation of the same. Mr. L. M. Saunders testified much to the same effect as the preceding witnesses, and said that he had been one of the government witnesses before the appraisers’ court, eight years ago, when the property was bought. Sa as ADDITION TO THE FUND. Donation of $25 fer Benefit of Dis- trict Volunteers. Treasurer John Joy Edson of the District of Columbia Volunteers’ Aid Association has rec2ived from the Ladies’ Hospital Re- lief Association of the general land office the sum of $25, to be applied to the fund be- ing raised by the association for administer- ing afd to the volunteer soldiers, sailors and marines from the District.

Yesterday while Mr. Henry Hepburn was Temporarily in the City. The Matter to Be Called to Attention of Secretary of War—Gen- eral News. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25, 1898. Shortly after 9 o'clock last night the sec- ond detachment from Camp Alger boun? for Norfolk, consisting of thé 9th Massa- chusetts Regiment and two battalions of the 34th Michigan, passed through this cit over the Southern railroad. Hardly had the first section, bearing the 9th Massachu- setts pulled im to the depot at the corner of Duke and Henry streets, than a grand Tush was made by the soldiers for the diff- erent stores and restaurants in that vicin- ity. A large number of them filed into the grocery and liquor store of Mr. Thomas J. Fannon, about twenty steps from where the train stopped, and helped themsel to everything in sight, consisting in part of a half barrel of whisk; veral cases of beer, a side of beef, ten or twelve boxes of chewing tobacco, several tubs of lard an butter and a large number of other articles. While this was being done a general alarm Was sent in to police headquarters, but be- fore they arrived upon the scene the train bearing the soldiers had pulled out and was several miles away from the city. A great deal of excitement was created and a large crowd congregated. The citizens bit- terly complain of these depredations. They think there should be some redress for the merchants who are robbed in this outrage ous manner. It seems the soldiers have no restrictions placed over them at all. Why they should have been allowed to leave their train cannot be imagined, especially as they made but a short stop. When the facts were brought to the may- or’s attention by the police department this morning he stated that he would write to the Secretary of War, calling the matter to his attention.

The excavation for the new church build- ing which the-congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian Church proposes to erect at the northeast corner of 13th and Yale streets, Columbia Heights, was begun to- day. As previously announced in The Star, it is-the intention to erect at this time only a portion of the building, leaving what will be the main auditorium to be built at some future time. The design of the entire structure, as prepared by F. B. Pyle, ar- chitect, has been accepted, but at present what may be termed the Sunday school room only will be built. The entrance to this portion will be from Yale street, and what will be the auditorium will be on the first floor and will have a seating capacity for about 400 people. On the second floor will be the Sunday school quarters, It is estimated that this portion of the building Will cost $20,009. The general design of the entire butlding will be what is known as the Gothic re- naissance, which is a more ornamental form of the English Gothic. A fine speci- men of the latter may be seen in the edi- fice of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, which is in process of erection at the corner of 18th and Madison streets northwest. There will be large mullioned windows in each of the fronts of the building, and at the cor- ner will be a square tower with an open tep, the corners of which will be marked by pinnacles. The material used will be brick, of light color, with tri terra cotta. ——s ———___ $1.00 Baltimore and Retarn via B. Sunday, June ath ‘Tickets good, going, only “0 noon trains.

Sorrowing relatives and friends yester« day afternoon gathered about the casket where in smiling, dreamless rest all that was mortal of Miss Johnson was robed like a bride for death. In the few brief, but comforting sentences the min« ister uttered before the departure from th¢ house he referred to the smile of perfect peace on the dead face as most remarkable, and to him strong evidence that the soul was at rest. Dr. and Mrs. Johnson have a wide circle of acquaintances and friends, and their eld- est daughter, Miss Sallve, whose twenty- fourth birthday anniversary was kept in vigil around her dead form, had widened that circle by her winning ways and her nobility of character. The last sad rites were held at the home on B street and in the parlors, so often the scene of her cial triumphs, she slept like a little child, with great banks of flowers about her, tributes of sorrowing friends, not only ber native city, but of Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia. Fy Among the relatives from a distance who were in attendance were Mr. J. B. Holts of Philadelphia and Mr. R. T. Smith, Mrs. Julia A. Smith, Miss Carry Smith, Mrs. Asa H. Smith, Mrs. Geo. G. Holtz and Mis Carry Smith, ail of Baltimore. An aged uncle, Mr. Robert Smith of Baltimore, came over to attend the last rites of hig idolized niece. The pallbearers were chosen from among the young friends of Miss Sallye. They were Messrs. Edward Schofield, Maurice E. O'Connor, Jesse Raw- lings, Richard Rawlings, Thomas Adds Bright and Leslie Lindner. The house was crowded with friends of the family, and the procession to Congres sional cemetery was a long one. There, amidst bright flowers and singing birds, with the soft winds to sigh an eternal requiem, the loved one was laid to rest. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?
