Engineer Frederick Rullman of the Penn- sylvania railroad distinguished himself Sunday by saving the life of a man whom he discovered lying on the high bridge near Gynn’s station, between this city and Bal- timore. A fast express train was approach- ing the bridge, and there seemed to be no sible escape for the man, but Engineer uullman grasped the situation in an in- stant and made a quick run out on the bridge, reaching him just in time to pick him up. Conductor Robert McLain was on the train with the engineer when the rescue was made. oe SS Faithful Service Remembered.

[MANY WOMEN IN THE DOCK They Are So Numerous the Men Take « Back Seat. Too Much Hilarity om Independence Day—The Aftermath in Police Court—The Penalties, There were so many women, all colored, in the dock in Judge Kimball’s court this morning that the men had to take a back s2at. The line of females reached the en- tire length of the dock, while the shorter Une of benches held the men, both white and colored. Outside the court there was not the nots to disturb the court that there Vas yesterday, and so small was the audi- ence that the bailiffs had no trouble in keeping order. “Not guilty," was the plea of Nathan Harris, who had been arrested in George- town for too much ardor in cslebrating. “Discharging a shotgun,” was the accu- sation read against him. “I was near 34th and Q streets yester- day,” said Policeman Sternbraker, “and when I heard scmebody call, ‘Look out,’ I turned just as a gun was discharged. Har- ris had a gun, and when I reached him he was r2loading it.” “Judge,” said the old man, “J shot de gun off, but ‘twas holiday and I didn't have nothin’ but powder in it.” “The discharge of a shotgun,” Judge Kim- ball told him, “is not permissible under any circumstances, rot even on the Fourth of July.” “I didn’t know ‘twas any harm.” “Ten dollars fine,” said the judge, “and thrze days in case of default.” Guessed He Was Guilty. * Michael O'Donohue, a young man, whose excursion to Cabin John bridge resulted in his getting intoxicated, was called upon to acceunt for conduct indulged in on his re- turn trip lest night. “I expect I am guilty,” was his respons when arraigned. : “Where was this offense committed?” the court wanted to know. “On the Washington and Great Falls rail- road,” the clerk informed him. “This man was under the influence of lquor,” complained one of the raflroad off- clals, “and he was abusive and used inde- cent language.” “Anybody else on the car?” “The car was filled with passengers.” “What have you to say?” the prisoner was asked. “I think I was over the District line,” he answered “when the trouble happened.” A fine of $10 or thirty days was imposed. “Fell Through” Yesterday. Minor Lawson, an old offender, was in line because of the quantity of liquid re- freshments in which he indulged last night. “Bo help me goodness,” sald Minor, “I’ve been sober for three months, but yesterday I fell through.” “It hasn't been three month's since you the judge told him. es, it has,” said Minor. “I won't tell a lie.” Minor explained that he worked yester- day morning and in the afternoon he drank some beer to “cool off.” “And,” he said, “when I got full I was not myself.” “You appear to be your same old self this morning,’’ the judge told him, and the pen- alty was $10 or one month on the farm. These Plead Guilty. “Guilty,” pleaded Mary Hawkins, colored, when arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct. “Five dollars.” “I'm guilty, too,” swered. “Same fine.” Edward Jackson, colored, who was charged with having violated the regulation against the discharge of firearms, pleaded guilty. “What is there about this «ase? cour: asked. “te was using a cannon on H street,” Policeman Baker answered. “Our Heuten- ant gave orders for the arrest of all persons found firing cannons.” “There were lots of them whom you didn’t get,"" the court remarked. “And,” added the officer, ‘there were lots of them whom we couldn't get.” Edward was fined $10, with the alternative of spending three days on the farm. Domestic Infelicity. Annie Ferguson, who had a difficulty with her husband near the river frout yesterday, was in the toils on a charge of disorderly conduct. “I saw her having trouble with her hus- band near the River Queen wharf,” was Policeman Perry's complaint. “What was the cause of tRe trouble?” “The woman suspected h: husband cf buying beer for some girl: was his re- sponse, “and I saw the woman strike her husband in the face.” “We were only fooling,” was the woman's explanation. ‘The court warned her against such fool- ishness in the future aud discharged her. The Dissolving View. One after another the other members of the procession appeared. Some of them had shed blocd yesterday, and showed the stains on thelr garments. Others had been intoxicated and were in need of medicine. The procession kept moving for so long a time that the rear guard did not reaca the farm until after dinner time. ——— BEFORE GRAND JURY. Rose Ferguson an- the Two Murder Charges Now Under Con- sideration. The grand jury is still engaged in the consideration of the murder of Wm. Brooks and the attempted murder of his wife. It was thought the injured woman would be able to throw important light on the rather mysterious assault, and for this reason the indictment of Frank Funk, the alleged murderer, has veen delayed. The peculiarity of Mrs. Brooks’ condition, there- fore, her memory being a blank from the time of the assault, has been quite a dis- appointment to the District authorities. It is not believed that the cage will be further deferred, however, and an indictment of Funk is expet¢ted at any time. Assistant District Attorney Shillington is engaged in preparing an indictment of George W. Horton, the ex-policeman who murdered Mrs. Annie Nicholson, and it will be returned by the grand jury as soon as ready. Horton may be tried at this month's term of the Criminal Court. Unless the plea of insanity be brought forth in his beha't it is thought the trial may be di: pos.d of in short order. Ed Interrupted by Rain. ‘There was a Fourth of July celebration last night in Willow Tree alley, but the program was largely interfered with by the storm. Evangelist Cuddy had sent Yortn wcrd to the denizens of the locality that he ‘would be on hand in the evening to dish out an abundance of ice cream, and that a number of speakers would entertain the holiday crowd that might be gathered there. Mr. Cuddy arrived on time, and the ice cream was disposed of in the shortest possible order. Just about this ti how- ever, a drenching downpour came along, and the ice cream feasters surrendered to the watery enemy from the clouds, fleeing in every direction where shelter was offered. The rout was second in complete- ness only to that of Cervera at Santiago on the day before. It was announced to the retreating multitude that the program would be resumed this evening. —__>—__. A Large Catch. A party of young men were for several days camping at an ideal spot about six miles above Harper’s Ferry, on the Poto- mac. The crowd consisted of Connell and Boynton Leach of OAPT. BRANDES DEAD. ‘Veteran of the Late War in His Eigh- teth Year. The funeral services over the remains of Capt. Cari Brandes, who died Sunday even- ing at the residence of hie neruew, Henry Brandes, 1527 12th street northwest, will be held at the ‘house this afternoon. He was in his eightieth year. He was born in Germany, but came to this country years ago and served in oivil He city the Union army during eo war. been for the past ———— COLUMBIA THEATER.—A treat is pre- pared for all lovers of fun this week at the.Columbla Theater, where that laughter- Provoking farce, “Innocent as a Lamb,” will be presented every night, with a mat- inee Saturday. The play is one of the most successful of the productions of Walter 8. Crane and Glonn McDonough and made a great hit when it was here last year. The Columbia Stock Company is splendidly adapted for the various roles of this play, and James O. Barrows as Tobias Pilking- ton made a decided hit by his quaint ren- dition of his part, producing convulsions of laughter. “Innocent as a Lamb” is filled With comical situations. Pilkingten is a wary old gentleman, who manages to main- tain a reputation for innocence, although he enjoys all sorts of wicked larks with the boys. Circumstances finally appear to be against him, and his exposure to his susp‘cious wife appears almost certain, but he manages to avoid it and to uphold his reputation for innocence by a series of comical intrigtes. Barrows is well sus- tained. Ingersoll as Jack Summerville made a great success of his part, as he always does, and Miss Browning as the ever-giggling maid captivated the audi- ence. nes Findlay as the suspicious Mrs. Pinkington created great amusement, while Florena Wilberham, a new member of the company, played Lilly in a captivat- ing manner. Mr. Lancaster as Dick Had- dingly was given a popular reception. Ed- ward Mackay made a successful Irish com- edian in his part of Dennis, while Alexan- der Kearney, J. R. Furlong, Frank Ball and J. A. Bass were favorites. Miss Has- lam as Kitty was given liberal applause, and proved ier versatility and her thor- ough value as an actress. The Columbia is sure to be crowded throughout the week. GLEN ECHO AMPHITHEATER.—This is a season for “Erminie.” The magnif- cent revival in New York recently was one of the big successes of the theatrical year of the metropolis. Now Washingtonians are given the opportunity of hearing Ja- cobowski's tuneful work in 2 production that has excelled any nerstofore put on by the Parry Opera Company at Glen Echo. Effective scenery and stage settings and elegant costumes, togcther with the high class work of every member of the cast and chorus included in the performance, make the Glen Echo “‘Erminie” a rival of the New York presentation, with an all- star cast, and Francis Wilson, who made his first success in this piece, as the lead- ing attraction. While the favorites at the Glen have not reached such an altitudin- ous height as the merry Wilson and his associates in the New Yori production, yet their work is every bit as enjoyable to the summer seeker of amusement. The pick of Mr. Parry’s compzny aré engaged an “Erminie,” and, together with the ex- cellent chorus work and the orchestral ren- Cition of the score by Mz. Towle’s musi- cians, a production results that is indeed @ credit to the management und a delight to every lover of music and mirth. Two performances were given yester lay. ‘after- noon and evening, and at each the amphi- theater was well filled. The individual work of the cast, clever throughout, makes every minute of the opera one of enjoy- ment. Miss Viola D'Armon, who has esiab- Mshed herself as a prime favorite, is heard in the title role, having ample opportunity for displaying the fine quulities of voice she possesses and being a /ery entertain- ing little girl. Miss Crater was weiccmed on the stage again after a week's rest. She made her usual hit, and as Javoite was a feature of the producti. Frank Leshon essays the leading comedy part of the rus- cal Cadeaux, and he gets on abundance of fun out of his character. His “Dickey Bird” song proved a winner, aud he was ercored until the audience grew weary cf applauding. It se2med that they wanted the droll little fellow to continua singing forever. “Dicky” Carroll, a wel comedian, has joined :ne Gien company, and was seen yesterday us Ravennes, his work being of the same order that hus made him one of the best I'gnt opera comedians of the day. Mr. Charles Haw- ley as the Marquis and Harry Carter as the Chevalier are both clever ax ever. The other members of the company are seen in minor roles and in the chorus. The pro- duction is without doubt the most elab- orate yet attempted at Glen Echo und the success is in like proporiiva. THE UNION ROOF GARDEN.--The ‘Union Roof Garden, on top of the big Union station at 8éth street and Prospect avenue, Georgetown, will be opened to- night, when a musical and high-class vau- deville program will be rendered. The gar- den was to have opened Jast night, nut the rain came along and dfenched the large crowd present and the evening’s perform- arce was at an erd. DISPENSING HOSPITALITY. Ladies of W. C. T. U. Entertain Boys in Blue. Yesterday was a banner day for tho ladies of the W. C. T. U., who are serving free lunch at 910 F street northwest to the soldiers who are in and about the city. ‘This place, the headquarters of the union, was handsomely decorated with American flags yesterday, and througa the liberality ot Mrs. Taplin three dozen large palm leaf fans were on hand to add to the com- fort of the boys in blue. The city was crowded with the soldiers throughout the day, and a goodly portion of those in town called upon the hospitable temperance wo- men and partook of their delightful edibles. The ladies on duty were Miss Chase, Mrs. May Goodwin, Mrs. B. J, Edson, Miss &. Walker, Miss H. G. Homer, Miss A. Long, M:ss E, Moore, Miss L. Hering, Miss K. E. French, Miss E. Taylor, Miss E. L. Shaw, Miss Lillie Brown, Miss Adelia Randolph, Mrs. Clinton Smith and Mrs. J. B. North. These were assisted by Mr. Oscar Homer and Edward Tarring. Free lunch is served to the soldiers daily from 12 to 2 o'clock, and this will be continued as long as the volunicers are encamped in the vicinity of Washington. The ladies in charge wou:l be glad io re- ceive donations. Acknowledsme: are due the following: W. B. Mose3, P. Grogan, Miss Fowler, Mrs. Dr. Taylor, Mrs. Crosby, Hygienic Ice Company, Mrs. Etfie J. Her- ron and others. Headquarters are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — EXOURSIONS. Yesterday was a gala day at River View, and over 2,200 of the people of Washington and Alexandria spent the Fourth at this pretty resort. Every trip made by the steamers Samuel J. Pentz and Estelle Ran- dall was well crowded, and the large throng was out for a pleasant day, and they had it. Many of the visitors went to the View armed with fireworks, and all day the victory of Admiral’ Sampson at Santiago was celebrated. The big danc- ing pavilion. on the bluff overlooking the river was crowded with merry dancers all and other attractions also rded much amusement to the visitors, though many persons spent much time in fishing from the View whari, crowd so thoroughly enjoyed themselves that a iarge proportion of them waited until the last boat to come The trips of the ‘Wednesday \f steamer uel J. Pents*will be made to River View tomorrow, and will be enjoy- able, as these Wednesday trips always are. Last Wednesday nearly 2;500 young people visited the View, and as large a throng is looked for on tomorrow's trips. As usual CHEERS. FOR; OLD GLORY Elaborate Decorations Musio—Address by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster—Flag Presentation. ——— Spceial Correspondenge ef The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Mé., July 4, 1898. Patriotism had fulk sway at this place today, the celebratien continuing from early morning until late at night. When The Evening Star, with its glorious reports from our army aad navy, was received the enthusiasm was greatly intensified. ‘The association decorated Grove avenue by stretching large flags across it at inter- vals, and the tabernacle was trimmed with flags and évergreens. There was a large attendance. ‘The exercises of the day were under the direction of ‘the officers of the asseciation, who were ably assisted by an octet, con- sisting of Mrs, Woodman, Mrs. Roach, Misses Dana and Carpenter, Messrs. Wood- man, Middleton, Smith and Roach. Mr. Carleton Hughes read an original poem, the audience sang ‘‘America’’ and ‘The Star Spangled Banner,” and efter the presiding officer had read a telegram from Mr. B. 8. Platt announcing the full extent of Adm!- ral Sampson’s victory the doxology was sung. Mrs. Foster's Addre: Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was the orator of the day. She said, in part, that the history of this country fs an illumined illustretion that sentiment has mede possible avery step of human progress—self-interest and ambi- tions being the impelling forces. she are made by the destructive forces soclaty; they are met and settled by the construct- ive forces of society. In the controversy now existing the United Statss did not make the issue, but the administration, Congress and the people’s army and navy have met it. The Fourth of July, 1808,” she said, “means more for us than-ever before. We find ourselves a nation able to walk on the water and carry liberty to the islands be- yong the sea. Three months ago who would have prophesied that th2 Philippine Islands would be in our possession; but as circum- stances determine conclusions we find, as did our fathers of the Constitution, that what must needs be comes as the surprise. “To the last tragedy of the sinking of the Maine, the President spoke, ‘The war in Cuba must stop,’ and Congress quickly re- sponded, ‘It shall stop,’ and, coupled with the names of Washington, Adams, Jetfer- son and Lincoln in our nation’s ares is that of William McKinley, President of this new imperial America, the friend of poor, abused Cuba, whose administrative hand is revenging the wrongs and insults heaped upon wemankind, and who is, indeed, set- ting the captive free.” Flag Presented and Hoisted. The storm prevented the carrying out of the program at the flagpole, and the flag, 8x12, was presented to the association by the Rev. Mr. Lloyd of Gaithersburg at the close of Mrs. Foster's address. The re- marks were patriotic and acceptable to the audience. Allusi¢m was made to the Fourth of July thirty-five years ago, at the Bloody Argle, in the Wilderness campaign. At the ecnclusion of the services at the taber- necle, the rain hawing ceased, the flag was hoisted on the new flagstaff, amid the cheers of the assembiage, by Misses Peck, Potbury, Merriam, Loker, Ward, Lee and Mrs. Foster. In the evening @ fine display of fireworks was held west of Chestnut avenue. Persomal:Mentiou, Mr. Will Maxwell is the guest of Mrs. Pennicks. Miss Dana and Miss Carpenter were en- tertained at Dr. Peck’s cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson Woodman spent the day with Dr. Woodman’s family. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Winchell of New York have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. 8. Platt. : R. 8. Ferguson has ®ented the cottage of Mr. Gartrell on 4th avenue. Mrs. Dr. Merriam and family are spend- ing the summer at their cottage on Grove Lavenue. Chief Engineer Rearbeck, U. 8. N., is on leave, with his family, at this place. Miss Nellie Potbury is the guest of Miss Eva Peck. —_—.__ Sunday Inspection at Soldiers’ Homes To the Editor of The Evening Star: In these troublesome times, when the en- tire country is turn!ng its attention to its splendid army and deprecating to the last degree any want of attention to their wel- fare and comfort, deploring apparent neg- lect tn providing them with proper clothing in a hot climate, and no doubt shedding many a tear by the female relatives of our brave boys in feverish Cuba, let atten- tion be called nearer home to a class. of men who are also wards of Uncle Sam, now old and decrepit, worn out and condemned, who also need and deserve some little sym- pathy in their old age and distress, I refer to the old soldiers in the Hampton “Home,” so called. During the administration of President Harrison an order was issued by the War Department abolishing all inspec- tions and parades on Sunday, and up to this day not a parade or inspection is al- lowed in the army, and with all the troops now in the field Sunday is a day of rest, except with troops at the actual front. But this ‘‘Home” appears to be governed by very different rules and laws, like one of the insignificant principalities in Europe. Here, with the thermometer near 90 de- grees, as is the case today, with the very thickest of clothing, with heavy woolen shirts and thick drawers, these poor old men, many of them over eighty years of age, with their bent forms supported by canes, thick wool-lined coats buttoned to the throat, are obliged to turn out at 9:30 every Sunday morning and face a broiling sun for from an hour to two hours, and then march past in ‘grand review,” to be shown off with accompanying music to the visitors at the hotels at the Point. Ah, what a grand display, to see perhaps 2, old men, weak with disease and years, struggling to keep up with this doleful pro- cession. To keep step is more than many are able to do, and not a few fall tainting vy the wayside, as was the case this morn- ing, in a vain struggle to keep up, and then go back to their hot, stuffy quarter to strip off thick clothes and swelter and suf- fer the rest of the day, while those who have been the authors of all this cruelty to them can retire to their cool and coi fortable houses, fanned by electric fans, and congratulate themselves upon the fine show they were abie to-give these visitors. But, alas, at what a.sacrifice! And many of these poor old-men, after fighting the battles of their country more successfully festtpas than they. were able to fight the ttles of life, worn out by hard work and disease, wounds, etc.mo doubt sent here by kind relatives or-friends, thinking they might rest in peace at Jast, taking up arms ithe country's danger, and unifarm and military as soon as possible when the necessity ceased to exist, to be drtvem around hi like a frightened flock ef mheep every Sundays even with the thermometer at 90. And what for, cy? 5 Cannot you in seme way, by giving pub- lcity to this, relieve these old men here of 2 suffering more iptense than any suffering by our pena @uecessors in the active army, which we gl take so. much a Soldiers’ Home, Va4 July 2, 1898, o — or Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.

Accidents from the use of firearms and fireworks, in addition to those reported in The Star of yesterday, and treated at the Emergency Hospital, were as follows: George Tucker of No. 1780 New Jersey avenue was severely burned about the face and hands by the premature explosion of @ giant fire cracker, at the cornét of Penn- sylvania avenue and 12th street. ‘While Thomas Lyons of No. 3342 M street was carelessly handling a pistol yesterday, the weapon was discharged and Lyons was slightly wounded in the left leg. Francis McDonald, a boy living at No. 428 K street northwest, was severely burn- ed on one of his hands by the explosion of can of powder. ~ John itney, colored, living near New Alexandria, exploded a shell by throwing a stone on it. The ball struck Whitney in the right leg and inflicted a painful wound. Everett Ballinger, aged fourteen years, whose home is at No. 710 11th street north- west, was somewhat burned in the face by the explosion of a toy cannon. Oliver Johnson, colored, a small boy liv- ing in Prather’s court, had his right eye burned by the explosion of fire works. John K. Hughes, colored, aged fifteen years, of. Ne. 507 28d street northwest, had his hand and wrist painfully burned by fireworks. Eugene Williams, colored, aged ten years, hed his right hand almost torn from his arm. The boy held a giant firecracker in his hand too long, and it exploded. After his wounds were dresssed he was removed to his home, No. 922 Delaware avenue southwest. While William Alexander, colored, was — a crowd of men who were celebrat- ing the the Fourth at Canal and L streets southwest, a stray bullet from one of the weapons, which was being made use of, struck Alexander in the hip.

The usual summer gayeties are now in full blast at this popular resort, and with the hotels and cottages well filled Colonial Beach is enjoying a very prosperous sea- son. The first trip of the steamer Arrow- smith from Washington arrived here Sat- urday night shortly before midnight, when over 300 passengers landed and immedi- ately went to their hotels and stopping places. The steamer Jane Moseley arrived a couple of hours later with nearly 200 pas- sergers. : The scene at the wharf upon the ar- rival of the excursion boats late at night is very picturesque. The wharf is crowd- ed to its fullest capacity with the residents of the beach, while every household, cot- tage and hotel is lighted up awaiting the newcomers. Teams of every description are lined up on the main street at the wharf, among which ere the ox teams, used for conveying heavy freight and lug- gage. The board walk, which runs the entire length of the beach, is daily crowded with promenaders, watching the bathers. The beach is dotted with the morning bathers, who enjoy this sport until dinner time, and the program is resumed in the evening just before dusk and continues until night- fall. There is always a delightful breeze blow- ing from the water, and it is well worth the trip to get away from the heat of the city and enjoy the cool breezes and a dip in the salt water. Among the arrivals here are a number of wheelinen who take early morning spins before breakfast on the adjacent roads. A recent heavy rain has put the roads in good condition and improved the crops to a great extent in this vicinity. Crabbing is receiving its usual share of attention, and the two long piers are the scenes of great activity in this line. The handsome steam yacht Nama, the property of Mr. William Aman of Wash- ington, anchored in the bay Saturday night, where it will remain until Tuesday. Mr. Aman has as his guests Mr. Horace C.

Drew of Wi ington. The citizens of Woodville, Md., and the surrounding country met yesterday in the Srove adjoining the residence of Dr. Strick- ler, the rector of St. Paul's parish, to cel brate Independence day. The crowd num- bered nearly one thousand, coming from all nearby and many distant points of Prince George's county. Dr. Strickler was master of cer:monies, and opened the exercises with a very ap- propriate address, calling especial attention to the eid religion affords in the progress of tha country. Mr. George W. Drew delivered the ad- dress of the day. He rehearsed the history ;of the events leading up to the declaration of freedom by the American people, refer- ring especially to the participation in the stirring events of Samuel: Chase, William Paco, Thomas Stone and Charibs Carroll of Carrollton, “sons of the grand and glorious state of Maryland.” Mr. Drew depicted the patriotism and valor of the American people as manifest- ¢d on the battlefields of tha past and pres- tnt, and in closing the reference said: “The grand and glorious naval victory of Admi- ral Dewey in Manila bay; Lieutenant Hob- son’s feat in bottling up the Spanish equad- ron with the hull of the Merrimac; the bravery of Roosevelt’s rough riders; the fidelity of the women as nurses and their invaluable services in many other capaci- ties during all our wars, has stamped the courag: of the American people too deep ever to be wiped out in the history of man.” Continuing, he said: “The great test of the strength and stability of the United States came in 1861. Today, praise to Him who guides us all, the Stars and Stripes acting as a beacon light to us in the time of peace, the people not only of the north but of all sections are united still under the folds of Betsy Ross’ grand old banner.” The instrumental music for the occasion was furnished by the National Guard Band of Washington. There was also the sing- ing of patriotic airs by the children of the Sunday school and a chorus. Abundant refreshments were served at 5 o'clock p.m. —— Wife Beaters Punished.
