Demotition of an O14 Church Dis- cleses the Corner Stone—Gen- eral and Personal News. A number of diphtheria cases in the northwestern part of Georgetown are re- ported, afid the residents of the neighbor- hood are somewhat alarmed. The disease is prevalent in the belt north of Q street and west of 32d street, including a large portion of the town known as “Bryan- town,” an old-established locality. Up to yesterday there were five new cases. and four old ones, three of which were report- ed to be convalescing. This morning two new cases were reported in a residence on upper 35th street. So far only one case has resulted fatally. In one house on 32d street there were four children sick with the dis- ease. It was in this house that the death occurred, and though the chiiu was quickly interred, the bed and household effects of the room in which the demise occurred, it is said, have not as yet been fumigated by the officials of the health department. There are also several cases of scarlet fever in Georgetown, the majority being in the locality where the diphtheria exists. No fatalities from this source have as yet been reported. Some days ago it was thought that a general epidemic of typhoid fever would prevail, but now all fears on this subject are allayed. There are not many cases of the disease now, though about a week ago there were nearly half a dozen patients and several deaths. Old Corner Stone Uncovered. Workmen engaged in the demolition of the old West Methodist Church at the southeast corner of 35th and T streets, which is being torn down to make room for a more modern house, came across the old corner stone, which was laid many years ago. It was expected that a numb > of relics would be disclosed upon opening the box in the stone, but in this those who had gathered as witnesses were disappoint- ed. ‘The box was loosely covered with a piece of slate, and when opened was found to contain some decayed taings, resembling paper, and a small copy of a Bible. If there were any coins or otner things in the box they had evidently been taken away many years ago, probably when the corner stone was laid. Case of Spasms. Yesterday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock John Mattau, a white man, who gave his age as forty years, residing at 723 23d street, was attacked with spasms in the Union depot at 36th and M streets. The Police were notified and the patrol wagon Was summoned.

Uorrespendence of The Evening Sta GLENBOURNE MANOR, Loudoun County, Va., August 27, 1998. A musical, literary and vaudeville enter- tainment was given by the guests of Glen- beurne last Saturday evening. A large audience attested their approval by libzral applause. The performance was one that will not soon be forgotten. The program consisted of a recitation by Rev. Mr. Guthrie of Richmond, entitlzd “The Wreck.” Mr. Guthrie responded to a generous encore by a comic recitation in dialect. Mr. Wm. Moore rendered a char- acter sketch of “Ol2 Back Joe,” assisted by a chorus; Mrs. Iseman favored the audienca with selections on the guitar; by special request Mr. Geo. Cox gave a few charac- ter songs, which were followed by Miss Doyl: and a chorus in a beautiful home scene, “Rock-a-bye Baby. Mr. Ernest Smith rendered a negro song and dance in ccetume. One of the many features of the program was a quartet, consisting of Messrs. Guth- rie and Moore, Miss Cecil Dulin and Mrs. Moor. The arrangement of a beauiiful rustic frame behind which many famous pictures were reproduced in life was also one of the features. The pictures were: “Galatea,” Mrs. Moore; “Tambourine Girl,” Miss Katie Van San; “Milking Tim,” Miss Irene Sherwood; “Happy Days,” the babies, Helen and Florence Prescott; “Rock of Ages,” Miss Nettie Clements; ‘The Glean- er,” Miss Cecil Dulin; “Gin a Body Kiss a Body,” Miss Abbi2 Dulin and Doris Moore; “A Study in Black and White,” Ella Blu and Charley Hampton; “You Dirty Bo: Edgar Thomas and Willie Hampton; “At the Fountain,” Misses Louise Loire and Ruth Moore; “The Greek Siave,” Miss Etta Stirton; “Saved from the Wreck,” W. M. Sherwood and Doris Moore; “The Wooers,” Mr. and Mrs. Thomas; “Contentm=nt,” Geo. P. Lowe; “Ruth,” Miss Agnes Hale. The pictures were so arranged that three or four were shown between each specialty. The piano aceompanists for the 2vening were Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Iseman and Mr. Wm. Smith. The grand finale was the joining by of the audience with the company in sing- ing the “Star Spangled Banner.” Great credit is due to Mr. M. A. Sherwood of th2 National Theater, Washington, and Geo. Lowe, whose painstaking efforts made the evening the success it was, —_-— CONDENSED LOCALS.

It was announced that the American members of the Paris peace commission would be Secretary Day, Senators Davis and Frye, Whitelaw Reid and probably Justice White of the United States Supreme | Court, who held the offer ofthe President under advisement. Continued suffering among the returning seldiers at Montauk Point caused Secretary;Algey to visit the camp; he found many evils which he reme- died and granted furloughs nt to re- lieve the ov x sed much of the distre Public indignation against the War Department officials for the sufferings of the soldiers at the various places of concentration increased and there was much talk of investigations, impeach- ment and the like. It was developed that owing to a misunderstfAnding’ the sick sol- diers in the hospitals had been deprived for a time of the benefit of.a special allowance of 60 cents a day per man for the providing of delicacies. Gen. Shafter and statc left Santiago for Montauk, ‘the command being turned formally over.to. Gen. Lawton, mili- tary governor of the province. Gen. Miles also sailed home from Porto Rico. Dis- patches from Manila reported an affray be- tween American soldiers and insurgents, growing out of the careless discharge of a revolver by one of the former; one Ameri- can was killed and several were wounded; otherwise the relations between the Ameri- cans and the natives were placid and the adjustment of affairs was satisfactorily progressing. Reports from Honolulu were to the effect that the American flag was formally hoisted over the fsiands August 2, the day of the signing of the p tocol_at Washington. Admirals Sampson and Schley reported to the President and received their commissions recently be- stowed and also obtained their instructions as members of the Cuban and Porto Rican military commissions. Reports from Porto Rico indicated that anarchical conditions existed in those portions of the island not yet occupied by the American forces, some of the Porto Ricans undertaking to secure revenge for the outbreaks of the Spanish soldiers since the close of hostiliti Some of the Spanish soldiers from Santiago ar- rived at Coruna, Spain, and told that the city could have been defended indefinitely against the Americans. The Spanish cortes was convoked, to meet early in September to consider questions growing out of the peace negotiations. Renewed rumors of Carlist uprisings caused the government serious apprehensions. The Canadian joint commission, convened to consider various standing issues between the dominion and the United States, assembled at Quebec and organized by electing Lord Herschell president. Foreign Affairs. Renewed interest in the relations of Eng- land and Russia was aroused by reported maneuvers at We! Hai Wel on the part of the British squadron to force the Chinese government to accede to the British de- mands concerning the disputed railway grants. American missfonaries at Hainan, China, were threatened by mobs and sought protection with the British consul. In a recent battle at Wu Chow, China, the regu- lar troops were defeated with great loss by the rebels. Satisfactory progress was ro- ported from the British Nile expedition un- der General Kitchener. Residents of Ja- maica prepared for a popular appeal to the British parliament to permit them to seek annexation to the United States. Cecil Rhodes was elected to the Cape Colony as- sembly from Little Namaqualand. The British government appointed a commission to investigate the French treaty rights in Newfoundland. The premiers of Queens- land, New South Wales and Victoria met at Sydney and indorsed plans for raising money for a Pacific cable. Signor Feschet- ti, a member of the Italian chamber of dep- uties, was sentenced to ten years’ impris- onment for taking part in the recent riots. The Thingvalla line steamer Norge collided with the fishing schooner La. Coquette off the Newfoundland Banks; sixteen of the schooner’s crew were drowned. In the Disirtet. Preparations for the,,apprepriate recep- tion of the District volunteer regiment on its return to Washington were auspiciously started at a mass meeting ot the citizens; committees were appointed \and subscrip- tion lists were opened;,additional arrange- ments were instituted ‘to recBive the regi- ment upon its arrival at Montauk Point, to supply the sick soldiers with delicacies and to insure the comfart ofall the mem- bers of the regiment. Ai preliminary report from the health officer:in reference to the vital statistics for the fiscal year 1807-98 in- dicated that the death rate for that period, 19.32 per thousand, wast lower than at any other time in the local history. The an- nual report of the superintendent of sewers was submitted to the ommissioners. The local organization of Union Veterans’ Union tendered a reception to the newly elected national commander-in-chief, Rob- ert G. Dyrenforth of Washington. The stockholders of the newly formed City and Suburban Railway Company, formerly the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home, met to for- ward the preparations for carrying out the act of Congress requiring an electrical equipment. A collision between carriages in the Soldiers’ Home grounds resulted in the death of Miss Sophie Gheen. George C, Taylor took his own life. Amos Davis, Katie Bernard and Frank Grissett unsuc- cessfully attempted suicide. Dr. Powell M. Bradley of Virginia was killed by falling into a cellar at the Hotel Johnson. The body of Margaret Scott, who died in June, was exhumed for the purpose of ascer- taining whether suspicions of foul play were justified. Among those who died was George O. Glavis. | ed on strong RECEIVES FINISHING TOUCHES. Hebrew Congregation’s New Str ture Nearly Ready for Dedication. The finishing touches to the splendid new temple of the Washington Hebrew Congre- gation are being put on the structure and the dedication will take place Friday, Sep- tember 9. The building, which occupies the site of the former synagogue on 8th street north- west between H and I streets, and additional ground adjoining purchased by the congre- gation, is unlike any other structure in the city. Its original style of strongly sugg. the east an) tradition of the Jewish faith. the an It was erect- lid foundations and its dimensions feet wide by 100 feet deep, with belvederes, 135 feet | above the sidewalk, a semi-circular win- dow, thirty feet in diameter, in the center portion of the facade, filled with stone tracery, and the shield of David, with a broad treatment of lines and proportions, render the whole attractive and beautiful. The front and towers are granite and limestone, with a granite base course, ¢ trance stéps and platform. The first sto contains the school rooms, assembly hall library and smiller rooms, while in the ce! lar below there are to be fireproof vaults constructed in which to store the regords of the congregation. Two fireproof stair- cases lead to the auditorium floor, and from » to the gulleries above. ne most striking feature of the audi- torium is a spacious dome, forty-five feet in meter, supported by four columns, | arched between, and altogether producing a grained arched effect. From the interior the auditorium somewhat resembles an- | cient ntine church, of which 3 P. E. Church in this city is a modernized example. The temple provides seating for 1,500 people. The accepted design w: result of # competition entered into b; al local architec the result of ¥ was that Messrs. Lewis F. Stutz and W. Pease won the prize. The total cosi, in- cluding the organ, was about $80,000. The Hebrew Congregation was chartered under the laws of Congress in 1854, but it was not until some months later that an organization was fully accomplished. Until 1863, when the building which is being re- placed was purchased from Mount Vernon Southern Methodist Church, the society met in various halls in the central portion of the city. Hancock Command, U. V. U. Hancock Command, No. 1, Union Veter- ans’ Union, held an enthusiastic meeting: last night, Col. John Middizton presfding. All the members were highly pleased at the result of the reception to Commander-in- chief Dyrenforth, which was held Thur: day night, and the prediction was made that 1t would result in larg> accessions to the order. Col. Middleton made a report of the proceedings at the rational encampment at Rock Island, HL, at which Gen. Dyren- torth was elected, and spoke of the har- mony that prevailed at all th2 sessions. He congratulated Hancock Command that one of its members had attained the high ottice of commander-in-chief of the order, and ex- pressed the belief that his administracion would be fully as succ2ssful as that of his predecessor. Capt. Street, who was the past command- er-in-chief, was present and said it was the last visit he could maké to a command be- fcre he should leave for his post of duty on Gen. Lee's staff. He urged that ail should give as loyal support to Gen. Dyrenforth, whose ability he highly complimented, as they had given to him, and said that he should always hold the order in affectionate remembrance. Brief address2s were made by Quartermaster General Bogie, Col. Feathers, and others. ———a Improving the Thoroughfares.

Attempted Suicide Grows Out of Com- " plicated Love Affair. Frank Grissett, a painter's apprentice, at- tempted suicide yesterday afternoon, the resh act, it is understood, being prompted by a love affair. He lives at No. 317 Mis- souri avenue northwest, and yesterday aft- ernoon when he heard two young ladies conversing on the front steps he investi- gated, and discovered that his two fiancees were comparing notes in an excited way, and he believed they were talking about him. It so happens that one of the young ladies lives in the hous? where he boards, and her friends naturally supposed that she had the vetter show to win him. The other young lady did not live far away, however, and yesterday she called on an investigating tour When Frank understood that he had ; been detected in his double game of hearts he thought the best way out of the diffl- culty was to take poison. He found three poisonous acids in the house, and when he had taken a quantity of each of them he went in a room where he thought he would die alone. The triple mixture made him fll, but his act was discoversd before death overtook him, and Policeman Langley was called in, He summoned the ambulance, and the young man was soon in the Bmergency Hospital under treatment. He was relieved of the mixture in a short time, and was sent home. Later, his sister, Mrs. Glick, who lives at No. 106 C street northwest, took charge of him. —— ee Only a few days longer of Hocke's Clear- ing Sale.—Advt.
