The District Commissioners have reduced the penalty provided for setting off fire- works, making it a fine of not less than % nor more than $40. This action of the Commissioners, it was stated in The Star last week, woult, be taken, their attention having been called to the fact that the minimum penalty was a fine of $10 when a Star reporter induced them to pardon a little boy who had been sentenced to the workhouse in default of a fine of $10. The Commissioners then ex- pressed much surprise that the minimum Penalty was so great, and also expressed a determination to materially reduce the pen- alty. Judge Scott of the Police Court also believed that the penalty should be greatly reduced, and in a@ communication to the Commisstoners suggested that it be made a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $40. The Commissioners referred the matter to Police Captain Austin, the acting chief of police, who reported that in his opinion it would be inadvisable to make the mini- mum penalty $5. Captain Beach, the En- gineer Commissioner, favored a minimum penalty of $2, but his associates, Commis- sioners Wight and Ross, did not so agree, and it was fixed at $5. eg SELECTS NEW RULERS.

A let- ter received from him last week gave his friends the information that he would be hom last night.

His body was thrown @ distance of fully fifty feet and was frightfully mangled. ‘The deceased was a nephew of Mr. R. B. Donald of 430 7th street southwest. He has gone to Eliz- abeth to bring the body home. —- Charges Against Policemen. There were two policemen, Rout and Benagan of the eighth precinct, before Trial Judge Pugh yesterday on charges of alleged violations of rules of the manual. Sergeant Jones was the complainant. In the case of Officer Rout, it was alleged he had neglected his duty the morning of June 25, and had failed to turn in from a patrol box at 4 o'clock. The defense was that he was watching for milk thieves. Many complaints had been received at the station regarding the theft of milk and it was because of his efforts to apprehend some of them that he failed to report. It was charged that Polleeman Banagan had endeavored to shield his brother of- ficer by turning in for him. The question referred to the tricl judge for settlement was what was said by Officer Banagan over the wire. The officer on duty at the station said all he heard was “Rout.” In bis own defense Officer Banagan raid he esked: “Where is Rout?” A young man named William Hall tes- tifled that he was standing at_the box and heard Banagan ask: “Where is Rout?" Policeman Howard corroborated this. —— Knabe pianos in all styles; different makes and grades of upright pianos, new and used, at lowest prices and terms. Pianos for rent for seashore and country.

Rawlings, 1505 Pa. ave.— Advertisement, WORK OF AN AGED MINISTER Powerful Refractor Designed for Observatory of American University. Gift of Rev. John Peate of Butler, Pa., —Expected Within a Few Days. ‘Word has reached Washington that a great refractor for the observatory, to be erected for the American University, has been completed at Butler, Pa., and may be expected here in a few days. This refractor is said by one who has seen it to be the most powerful glass of its kind in the world. Not only ts it noteworthy in that it welghs over a ton and measures sixty- two inches in diameter, but its construc- tion fs one of the marvels of the age, the steady hand, the unerring eye and the con- summate mechanical skill required to con- struct and polish a lens of this magnitude and clearness being furnished by Rev. John Peate, a Methodist preacher, whose age in the cycle of time has reached the extreme limit of four-score years. Since his retirement from the ministry Mr. Peate devoted himself to the study of astronomy and the polishing of delicate lenses and glasses. He became very expert in the course of years. It was at first a mere hobby, but his work finally attracted such attention that he was generally esti- mated to be one of the best lens polishers in America, the country which excels the world in this peculiar and delicate art. H wrote on to the American University an tendered his services to Bishop Hurst, the president, offering to superintend without charge the casting and to perform the me- chanical work of polishing a great lens to be used in the telescope of the university's observatory. Bishop Hurst accepted his offer gladly, as much on account of the fame and remarkable personality of the operator as for the valuable workmanship which the university thus had the oppor- tunity of obtaining gratis. Work Performed in Two Years. Active work was begun on the lens just two years ago. A number of unsuccessful attempts were made to obtain a satisfac- tory casting upon which to work. The glass for the present lens was cast at Butler, Pa. A shop was built and the rough glass was mounted upon a specially built table, which allowed it to be moved into any position desirable for polishing. Since then the venerable artisan has work- ed at his labor of love incessantly. He has used the most approved methods, and had the use of a steam engine at first to assist in polishing the rough and uneven parts of the surface. The latter part of his work has necessarily been done by hand. Some weeks ago his labor was completed, and the greatest mechanical achievement of his life was almost finished. The only thing remained to be done was to test the glass and see whether it was a success as a refractor of the movements of the heay- enly bodies. He accordingly rigged up a rude temporary structure, and on the first clear night climbed a thirty-foot ladder,, from which he was able to get the correct focus on his lens. He found the experi- ment a complete success, and the glass a remarkably fine one. — One Fare to Buffalo and Return vin Pennsylvania Railroad.

R. FE. Lee Camp,;Sons of Confederate Veterans, of thisicity, has selected Miss Frances Griffin, ddughter of Mr. R. J. Grit- fin of Atlanta, to represent their camp as sponsor at the coming confederate reunion in Atlanta. Miss Griffin has been- forwarded a letter notifying her of her appointment, which 1s signed by E, Powell Frazer, chairman, in these words: “It affords me great pleasure to inform you that you Lave been chosen the sponsor for the R. E. Lee Camp, Sons of Confed- erate Veterans, Washington, D. C., to rep- resent them at the reunion at Atlanta July 20 to 240 + eg! “Captain J. M. Hickey and I will be pres- ent as representatives of the camp at the reunion, while about fifty veterans and ladies of the Southern Relief Society will be present also.” It is expected that several hundred other members und friends of the two societies will also go from this city and vicinity to the reunion. So anxious is the local commit- tee at Atlenta te have a full turnout of the southern survivors of the late war that suitable arrangements have been made for caring for such veterans us are unable to afford the expense of boarding houses and hotels. For these sleeping quarters and a commissary department have been estab- lished at Piedmont Park. Those who degire to avail themselves of these privileges are requested to notify Dr. Amos Fox, chair- man, commissary department, by letter or in person, on arrival. Besides this, homes or “quarters will be furnished, ‘compli- mentary, to one sponsor and her first maid of honor, from each stati Se Gots e and the District The Railway Rates, All railroad lines have agreed on a rate of one cent a mile each way, to and from the reunlon—calculated on shortest route.

Probably the most important business to be transacted at the reunion other than those matters which have already becn spoken of in The Star, will be the proposec change in the name of the organizaticn. Mr. Joseph Pelham of Atlanta, who is a member of Commander-in-Chief Smith's staff, and in charge of the Sons of Vet- erans’ headquarters there, will make the Suggestion for the change of name. Mr. Pelham has been considering the matter for some time, and has, St is sata, obtained a large following. It is believed very likely that the name will be changed. Commander-in-Chiet Smyth ts said tq favor ie ee end will support it in the meet- lelegates from the vi ene Sons of Veterans, so Vaous Sarape e name of the organization is now the 2 ted Sons of Confederate Veterans. Mr ‘elham proposes to have the name changed to Confederate Sans" Association, Reasons for the Change. In support of this change Mr. Pelham is quoted as saying that the prime object is to preserve the letters that are inseparable with the southern confederacy, C. 8. A. being an abbreviation for the confederate states of America. “The flags carried by the soldiers for the confederacy, the but- tons worn on the clothes, the belt buckles the arms and every part of the equipment was identified by G. 8. A., and it seems but fitting, ‘the supporters of this cuggestion should ica ee is argued that this ‘| the spirit of the organization aoa, win be a very great improvement, as the grand- fons of the veterans willbe as éligible to membership into the organization as the sons of v2terans. Views of a Local Member. A member of the association here sald: “I think there will be no trouble in get- ting the members of the camps to see the wisdom of the change of name. I have re- ceived assurances from a large number of Sons of Veterans who think the change would be a good one, and there fs really no serious objection to it, that I have heard. I think the name of the organiza- tion will be changed. “For some time an effort has been made to change the name of the United Confed- erate Veterans’ Association to the Confed- erate Survivors’ Association, but this has never been carried out, owing to violent opposition that has sprung up against it. “If the rame were thus changed it would also carry with it the initial letters of the confederacy and would give still more in- terest to the meaning of the three letters.” SS Week-End B. and 0.

His information was that she had made her home at the house of a one- legged woman by pretending she was going to assist the invalid. Instead of being of assistance to the old woman, however, she got drunk and was the cause of the cripple being refused help. “I was invited to the house,” said the prisoner, “and I was treated to the whisky.” “What is your real name?” Judge Kim- ball inquired. “Daley,” she answered. “And {f you let me go I’H return to my home in Westmore- land county, Virginia.” She was sent down.on the farm for thirty days.

Successful Meeting of Christian Edu- cators and the Pleasures Offered. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPON SPRINGS, W. Va., July 4, 1898. The first Capon Springs conference on Christian education in the south, which commenced here Wednesday last, held its final exercises yesterday. In the inorning the closing sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Hoyt of Philadelphia. In the evening evangelistic services for the working peo- ple at the Springs were held, and an effec- tive address made by Bishop Dudley of Kentucky. Resolutions were passed offer- ing the thanks of the assemblage to Cap- tain and Mrs. Sale and to Mr. and Mrs. F. Nelson of Capon for the generous hos- pitality which rendered practical the plans of holding the conference, and to which its successful issue was largely due. The most important conclusions reached by the conference were that its members should strive to their utmost ability for the ignorant and destitute of the south. That in particular the southern members of the conference, speaking for themselves and those whom they more directly repre- sent, expressed their grateful sense of the generous aid which education in the south has received from friends in the north, in which they see promise for the union and harmony of our common country; ‘That the conference declares its deep and abiding interest in all efforts for the ad- vancement of moral and religious education in the south along Christian lines, and es- pecially that of the more needy of both races and earnestly commends this nobie work to the sympathy and support of all Patriotic people, and in particular the southern people themselves. That, upon the principle if one member of one union of states suffer, all the mem- bers suffer with it, the duty of the whole country to foster education in every part of it is manifest and the question of a Jarger and more energetic national aid in behaif of efforts for the education of illit- erate massses deserves the most serious consideration of all patriotic citizens and never more so than at the present time. Printed copies of the ‘message and ap- peal” of the conference will shortly be printed by subscription for general distri- bution, At 5 o’clock on Saturday afternoon a charming tea was given upon the lawn by Mrs. Alfred Whelen of Philadelphia, wife of the resident physician, at which the guests at the hotel were invited to meet the visiting delegates. Mrs. Whelen was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Sale and Mrs. C, F. Nelson of Capon and Mrs. Edward Abbott of Canrbridge, Mass. Thé conference comprised representation from twelve states and the District of Co- lumbia, seven religious denominations and members of schools, colleges and other in- stitutions or agencies of religious educa- tion, both north and south. The Fourth was celebrated with the most enthusiastic patriotism at Capon, owi fo the, glorious victory, of whitch’ speci dispatches were received during the day. The menu cards at dinner were in red, white and blue, with the American and Cu- ban flags crossed upon the cover. The ta- bles were, as usual, decorated in unique designs by the waiters, one center piece being a representation of the Maine en- wreathed in flowers. In the evening there ere bonfires and an elaborate display of Sreworks. : Among the numerous arrivals, of Satur- day were Mrs. pee oe Sharp, jr., wife of Lieutenant Sharp, U. S. N., and Master Alexander Sharp, 8d. x —_s—_—_ BOY INSTANTLY KILLED. A Falling Tree Branch Crushes His _ Skull. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BOYDS, Md., July 7, 1898. John M.

Decision of Judge Scott in Case of Alleged Assault. After the close of the report of yester- day’s proceedings in the Police Court, as printed in The Star of last evening, Judge Scott tried Daniel Mumford, colored, on the charge of assaulting Policeman L. J. Bren- nan of the eighth precinct. ‘The evidence of the policeman was that Monday evening last, shortly before dark, he heard Mumford cursing ard swearing in a loud voice on 9th street above U street northwest. He proceeded, he said, to take Mumford into custody, but as soon as the latter was informed he was under arrest he struck Brennan in the head with his fist and knocked him down. Brennan's partner, Officer Murphy, then came up and also took hold of Mumford. The prisoner resisted and Brennan struck him over the head with his billy, inflicting a bad wound. Mr. Pugh said he had noticed Mumford in the custody of the officers, but knew nothing of the cause of the arrest. A cloud of witnesses, all of the most re- spectable appearance, summoned by Mr. Fountain Peyton, who defended the ac- cused, swore that they saw Mumford standing at the place above designated and he was acting in the most orderly manner. Presently he was approached by Officers Brennan and Murphy. The former asked Mumford about a fight which had occurred shortly before, farther up the street. Mum- ford answered that he did not know an: thing whatever about the affair, whereupon Brennan struck Mumford over the head several times with his billy. At this point Mumford tried to defend himself, where- upon Murphy also struck Mumford with his billy. Mumford would have fallen to the pavement had he not been held up by the officers, who started with their pris- oner toward the U street station. After walking about fifty yards or so one of the officers, it was testified, tripped Mum‘ rd and threw him to the pavement. By this time an immense crowd had + ol- lected and one or two men offered to as. ist the officers in getting Mumforé to the s.a- tion, fearing, they said, if something was not done in that direction Mumford would be killed by the policemen. Mumford’s head presented a shocking ap- pearance, having several long and deep cuts upon it, from which he had lost a large amount of blood. Judge Scott reviewed the evidence in the case at length, saying he could see no justi- fication for the assault by the officers, and dismissed Mumford from custody. —— Good is Good, but Something Better beats it.
