AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Swimming Tournament Under Auspices of the Potomac Boat Club. Foot Ball to Be Revived at George- town University—Aged Resident Dead — Briefs. The swimming tournament of the Poto- mac Boat Club. held yesterday afternoon, was entered by many youngsters, mascots of the club, who succeeded in making the affair interesting to a large crowd of spec- tators. There were a number of events oa the program, including five races, and jumping matches, spring board exercises and the like. The reay race, which com- menced rear Analosian Island and finished at the club house ‘oat, was divided into thres stages and proved quite interesting, three teams competing. The other events were closely contested. The summary is: First race, 220 yards—Harry Middleton, first; Robert Sommerville, second, and Rob- bie Connard, third. Seccnd race, 75 yards, handicap—Spencer Gordon (2 yards), first; Winter Gravcs (scratch), second, and Only Talent (scratch), third. Third race, diving, height and beauty— Newton Middleton won. Herbert Doyle, sec- one, and Whit Middleton, third. Fourth race, diving, distance under water —Harry Middleton won, Whit Midd‘eton, second, and Harry Selby, third. Fifth race, relay race; 88 yards—Winter Graves, Harry Middleton and Robert Som- merville won, Wiliam Rittenhouse, Whit Middleton and Robert Connard, seccnd; Newton Middieton, Harry Seiby and John Barbarin, third. Foot Ball at University. It is understood that foot ball will again be introduced at Georgetown University, and that this year the students will be per- mitted to contest for honors on che gridiron with elevens representing outside colleges. For several years the sport has been ta- booed at Georgetown, owing to the sad ending of a game in this city severai years ago. The game was played at National Park, and during the progress George Bahen of the university eleven received in- juries which kept him at the Emergency Hospital for three or four months a crip- ple, finally resulting in his death. Rev. J. Havens Richards, who was then rector, re- fused to permit the game to be played ut the institution with outside schools cr ath- letic clubs as the opponents. The students were permitted to play the game among themselves, having class teams, and strug- gling for honors in this way. With the ad- vent of Rey. Father Whitney as rector of the university the change has been made which will permit the students to pastici- pate In foot ball, though no boys will be allowed to play who have not received the sanction of their parents to participate. As soon as the university opens next Tuesday the scholars will take steps toward organ- izing a suitable representative team. Dies at an Advanced Age. Mrs. Helen Batson, perhaps one of the best-known colored residents of this sec- tion of the city, died yesterday morning shortly after 3 o'clock, at her residence, southeast corner of 27th and P streets. She had reached an advanced age, ané bad lived in the same house for nearly half a century, owning the property and consid- erable land surrounding. Some time ago she was stricken with paralysis. A second and third attack came, the last proving fatal. Brief Mention. Pierre Waggaman has received permis- sion from the District government to blast rock on his property near Cleveland Park, provided necessary precautions be taken. Jag. H. Caton has commenced the erce- tion of two two-story brick dwellings at 1816 and 1818 34th street. Julian Taylor, trustee, has transferred to Archibald H. Taylor lot 3, in block 6, in the Cleveland Heights subdivision. The consideration is piaced at $1,290. SS FEVER ADDS A VICTIM. Death of Thomas C. S. Maddux Camp Wikoff. Another of the brave District boys has succumbed to the fever contracted amidst the hardships and privations.of the Cuban campaign. It is Thomas C. S. Maddux, a private in Company B, Ist Regiment, Lis- trict of Columbia Volunteers. Young Mad- dux died yesterday in the detention hos- pital at Camp Wikoff. The news of his death was a surprise to his family in this city, who believed he was rapidly recover- ing. Several days ago a cousin of Private Maddux visited the hospital for the purpose of bringing his kinsman home, but the young soldier was still ill and was per- suaded to remain and return with the regi- One of the nurses expressed the be- lief that he would be in condition to come at that time. The circumstances surrounding the death of young Maddux are particularly sad. He was only seventeen years of age when he enlisted, and the mustering officer would not put him on the rolls until he had ob- tained the consent of his parents. His wid- owed mother was appealed to by the young patriot andl willingly gave her permission. He went to Cuba with the regiment and bravely stood the hardships without a mur- mur. He was an arden soldier and took an active interest in athletics. He was a member of the Columbia Athletic Club and won high favor among his companions. He Was the son of the late T. Clay Maddux of Baitimore, and lved with his mother at 1008 C street northeast. . ——._—_. GUARDED THE CAPITOL. Fifteenth Pennsylvania to Leave Down River Forts Tomorrow.

AMUSEMENTS, CONCERT FOR THE SOLDIERS.—The Grand Opera House, as Col. Ed. Hay de- clared in his address, never held a mor? beautiful audience than that present last night at the concert given for the benefit of the Pension Office Ladi2s’ Relief Asso- ciation in its entertainment of soldiers passing through the city. The theater was completely filled with patriotic men and women, a large number of officers and sol- dizrs of the regular and volunteer armies also being present. The stage was set with pals, while the proscenium was draped with American flags. As the audience filed in their attention was directed to th2 stage where the United States Marine Band, un- der the leadership of Prof. W. H.*Santel- mann, was seated. The jand open2d the evening’s program with one of Thomas’ overtures, which was enthusiasticaliy ap- piauded and an encore rendered. Mr. Hay made a short address, speaking of th> pa- triotle work of the ladies of the pension office, and giving credit to those who-had assisted in making tie concert ‘a succes: He dec.ared that the entertainment was nade possibie, however, only through the untiring efforte of Mrs. Thomas P. Steph- erson nd Mrs. Frank Byram. Mrs. Bischoff and Miss Edna Scott Smith sang sclos that were highly appreciated. Miss Amy Law and Mr. D. G. Miller follow with a prettily rendered duet f-om Verdi's “Traviata.” Mrs. Frank Byram and Mr. Angelo C. Fronani closed {2 first part with a well-executed piano duet, Mendels- sohn’s overture to “Midsummer Night's Dream." Mr. Clifford Alexander Wiley’s bariione voice was so much appreciated that he Was compelled to respond to a quartet of encores. Mr. Santelmann’s patriotic fan- tasia, “The Voice of Our Nation,” was rendered by the Marine Band, with one of Souea’s marches as an encore. Mrs. Hat- tie Meads Smith sang a waltz song by Strauss, and Mr. D. G. Miller rendered the Salve di Niora from Gounod’s “Faust,” both winning well-merited praise. Mr. W. H. Conley, with his witty sayings, imita- tions of well-known actors and’ comic Songs. made the hit of the evening, the au- Gience seeming loath to part with such a clever entertainer. The concert was brought to a close with Mrs. T. P. Stephenson's rendition of “The Siar Spangled Banner,” the audience, di- rected by Mr. Percy S. Foster, joining in the chorus. “THE HULA GIRL."—Rehearsals for “The Hula Girl,” that bright travesty upon the important developments in the Ha- wailan situation under the Cleveland ad- ministration, are about to conclude, the various casts that will be seen in the operatic burlesque having become profi- cient in their respective roles, while the chorus, which will be the same throughout the many productions, has been well trained and drilled, and will doubtiess prove the most efficient ever heard in an amateur performance. The Harris brothers have been hard at work on the forthcom- ing production of their undeniably clever work, and are confident that it will be so well interpreted by the excellent amateurs Interested in the piece as to prove the Breatest success of the kind for many years. The “Girl will be at the Columbia Theater all of next week, a different cast being seen with each succeeding perform- ance. As the number of characters in the musical farce is quite large, it may be sur- mised how many are engaged in the re- hearsals now drawing to a close. The best of local talent fs represented in ‘The Hula Girl,” and no professional company is capable of giving a more entertaining per- formance. —_.___ SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATED.

MUSTERED OUT BY DEATH Members of Compahy #j 15th Pennsylvania Regiment, Drowned in Potomac. Privates Coffee an@ Greener the Vie- tims—CorporaliGomgaware of Com- pany K Narrowly Escapes. Harry Coffee an Jéhn Greener of Com- pany A, 15th Pennsylvania Volunteers, were drowned yesterday afternoon in the river between Fort Washington and Sheridan Point. A number’ of their companions at the fort witnessed thes drowning, but were unable to rendér assistance. Corporal Gomgaware of Company K, stationed at Sheridan Point, who was In the boat with them, was saved. The sad accident was the result of the upsetting of the boat dur- ing @ severe wind storm. There was @ desperate struggle for life following the upsetting of the boat, but the two men were unable to reach shore in safety. Privates Coffee and Greener had been in Washington during the day, and had come down to Sheridan Point on the electric cars. Private Frederick Stadacene, who was with them, remained at the hospital fe ‘ho is pay @ call on Adjutant Hopkinson, w! sick. This sick call delayed Stadacene and probably saved his life. The men who were drowned lived in Erie, Pa. and were in the railroad business. Coffee, who leaves a widow and one child, was among the first to respond to the call for volun- teers and wes greatly disappointed in not being able to get to the front. Greener was a single man, but was to have been married this fall. Hastening to Meet Roll Call. When the unfortunate men reached Sher- idan Point yesterday afternoon Corporal Gomgaware started across the river with them in a small boat in order to get them there in time to answer roll call. Soon after leaving the point they were caught in a squall and the boat was upset, throwing the three men into the river. Private Greener grabbed an oar and made an ef- fort to paddle ashore, but the gale was too strong for him and he soon went down. Corporal Gomgaware managed to cling to tho side of the boat and drifted partly across the river, while Coffee made an ef- fort to swim across to the fort. Mr. Jones, the lighthouse keeper, who witnessed the upsetting of the boat, sent a colored man named John Freeman out in a small craft to assist the men in the water. Freeman succeeded in rescuing the corporal and was within a few feet of Private Coffee when the latter's strength gave out and he dis- appeared. Coffee was then near the marsh on this side of the river, and had his strength held out & little longer he would have been able to wade ashore. It Is be- Neved he was prevented frem coming to the surface of the water by becoming en- tangled in the gra: Police Boat Crew Summoned. As soon as Captain Sterrett heard what had happened he telephoned Major Sylves- ter, requesting the services of the crew of the police boet. About an hour after the sending of the message Harbormastef Sutton arrived at the scene and had his crew dragging for’the*bodies. About sun- down the crew abandoned the search and returned to the city) A number of the members of Company # remained in charge of the work and ‘contmued dragging the river until a late hourvet night. Early this morning the police boat returned from Washington and resumed the work. It is hoped by the members of the company that the bodies will be recovered before the company starts fér Camp Meade, Middle- town, Pa., it having orders to leave to- morrow morning. Bhowld the bodies not be recovcred today Captain Sterrett will prob- ably leave a detafl to-take charge of the bodies when they’ aretrecovered. - Private Coffee had been speaking to his companions about ‘his expected return home a short time befére be got i the boat. About his last remarkrwas, “What a nice time I'll have whem I get home to my wife and baby.” ee STIA HAPPE ANA! Return of Private Davison- tion—Other New Charles L.

Annual Reports Submitted to Dis- trict Commissioners. Mr, Nathaniel Wilson, president of the board of directors of Columbia Hospital, has submitted to the District Commission- ers the annual report of that institution for the year ended June 30, 1998 He states that for several years past the meney received from Congress and that received from pay patients has not been sufficient to fully meet the cost of main- taining the hospital and school for nurses, and each year there has been a deficiency, notwithstanding the efforts of the officers of the hospital to manage its affairs with the strictest economy. The funds avail- able are not sufficient for the efficient ad- ministration of the hospital, considering the number of patients that are cared for, and the nurses connected with the hos- pital and the training school. Mr. Wilson repeats the request made last year, that an appropriation of $25,000 be asked for the maintenance of the hos- pital and to meet the current expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900. A report from the superintendent of the hospital, Ella Underhill, accompanied the president’s statement. It shows that dur- ing the year 606 patients were received and 582 discharged. The daily average was 57. Total number of operations performed vas 240, and of this number 137 were capital operations. The amount of money ccl- lected from pay patients was $3,709.70. Aseptic furniture has been placed in the operating rooms and the delivery wards. The private rooms have been refurnished. The pathological laboratory has heen com- pleted. The superintendent states that the hos- pital is at present in very good condition and the expenditures are as economical as is consistent with the proper treatment of the delicate patients brought there. Of the nurses’ school it is stated that there are 34 pupils under training in the two hos- pitals, about equally divided as to num bers. The alumnae, now numbering 56 are in greater part pursuing their work here in Washington and elsewhere througn- out the country. In one instance the en- tire nursing for nine months was supplied | by them in a new hospital established for new lines of work. ~ ‘Treasurer John D.

The weather was fine, with a good breeze, but the dust was so thick that it could be cut, despite the efforts of the energetic president, who ordered water carts to all parts of track and grounds. A large number of prominent politicians were present, and the prospects for both parties were discussed freely. The premium Ist in poultry department was made public, and among those get- ting first prizes were: Rudolph Thiele of ilver Hill, Thomas Wells of Bowie, Mrs. 5. Turner of Laurel, Clay D. Perkins of Springfield, Charles L. Blanton of Falls Church, Va., Roland C. Bovil of Brookland, D. C.: C. C. Magruder, jr., of Marlboro’, 8. M. Defarue of Frederick, E. E. Perkins of Springfield and H. F. Ward. The exhibit was the finest ever made at the fair grounds and numbered over 1.500 niries, including all varieties of chickens, turkeys, geese, pigeons, rabbits, pheasants, ete. Mr. &. E. Perkins has charge of this department. ‘The horses fn first race went to post at 0 sharp, with Judges John R. Kelley and John R, Gheen of Washington and Colonel Frank M. Hall in the stand, Col- onel Hall acting as timer and Judge Kelley starter. Ernest Hall started the runners. The first race was the 2.20 trot, which was substituted for the Southern Mary- land trot, declared off. There were only three entries, but all three horses had the nerve and were well managed. The second race was a good one. Duran- go, getting the advantage, kept it, win- ning all heats and seiling at 1 to 3. The steeplechase was an exciting feature, and attracted, perhaps, the most attention. The start was fair. Beval, with Roberts up, got the jump and kept it, leaving his fleld berind.

A caveat to the third codicil of the last will and testament of the late Robert Proc- tor was filed today by David Gill Proctor, a son of the deceased. The petitioner states that his interest will be injuriously affected by the allowance of the alleged or pretended codicil. He asks to have a hearing before action is taken by the court and alleges that the paper writing on rec- ord is not the codicil of the deceased, or if he did execute the document he was not of sound and disposing mind, ror capable of executing a valid deed or contract, or in any respect capable of making a will or codicil. The court is prayed that the paper writ- ing may be refused probate, that a trial by jury may be had to determine the al- legations of fact bearing upon the validity of the codicil, and that collectors of the estate be 2ppointed pending litigation. Messrs. John J. Hemphill and Arthur Peter are proctors for the caveator. ieee Buy and save—Hoeke’s clearing sale of furniture and carpets.—Adyt. —_+——_ Ritten by a Dog.

Caplial Railway Authorized to Con- struct Single Trough Double Trol- ley Under Usual Conditions. Within two weeks trolley cars will be | running across the Navy Yard bridre and horses will finally be done away with on | this portion of the Capital Railway Com- Pany’s line. The cars will be run by a sin- gle trough doubie trolley system, which was suggested by The Evening Star as the only system that would properly minimize the danger. Two wires will be strung in an inverted wooden trough running directly in the center of the bridge. Aiong these Wires a small carriage will be operated, the current finding its way to the cars by means of a flexible cable. President A. E. Randle of the Capiial Railway Company, efter searching three years for what he believed to be a prac- tical trolley system for the bridge, today secured a final order in the matter from the District Commissioners, which is a modifi- cation of the order issued September 1, granting @ permit to install a double trough double trolley. The order states that ihe company shall be allowed to install a sin- gle trough double trolley system instead of the-double trough system as first proposed, and that the connection between the trolley carrier and the cars will be a flexible cabie, the ends of which should be thoroughly im- sulated and protected from accidental con- tact with each other. Single Trough in the Center. There are two tracks on the bridge and the original plans contemplated a double trolley over each. A single trough in the center of the two tracks will now be used, the flexible cable allowing the current tu be distributed to a car on either track. By the use of this system only one car will be on the bridge at a time. The system: has been in use at the car shops of the Metro- politan Ratlroad Company, and one trolley system operated as many as six tracks. Placed as it will be in the center of the bridge the trolley will be well out of the Way of vehicles passing along the right and left-hand sides of the roadway, aud the danger of possible contact with the wires, already protected by the trough, will al- most entirely be eliminated, President Ran- dle declares. The Conditions. The permit issued today is subject to the same conditions imposed in the one of Sep- tember 1, that the work shall be super- vised by an inspector of the engineer de- partment, and that the right is reserved to Tequire any changes in the construction if after being installed and operated it should be found to interfere with the working of the draw or with the other wires on the bridge. No trolley wires on the bridge shall be connected with a grounded generator nor with the overhead or underground elec- tric systems on either side uf the bridge. — Pleads Guilty. Valentine Link, whose place on Maryland nue was raided a few days ago, today pleaded guilty of selling liquor without a heense, and Judge Kimball sent him down to the workhouse for three months in de- fault of a fine of $250. The charge of keep- ing a bawdy ho preferred against the man was continued. aS eee Petition for Change of Name. Jacob Mos2s Weinstein has filed a peti- tion in the District Supreme Court asking that he be allowed to change his name to Jacob Moses Stein.

Considerable excitement was caused on 11th street below Pennsylvania avenue about 9:30 last night by a shooting affair in which Charles A. Keefe, a ficer at Kerna police officer, was the central figure unknown colored man created much disor- der in the gallery of the theater, and Of- ficer Keefe removed him from the building. While on 11th street with the man, so Keefe claimed, John E. Peyton, colored, interfered. The officer further claims that Peyton took his baton from him and struck him over the heed and otherwise assaulted him. During the siruggie the man who had been guilty of the disorderly conduct in the theater made his escape. Mcantime Keefe broke away from Pey- ton, drew his revolver and fired. Peyton then ran and a second shot was fired. Pey- ton was pursued by Keefe, the latter, it 18 said, knocking him down with a blaok- jack. Policemen Miller and Oram, who were attracted by the shots, found Peyton to be unconscious, and, under the impres- sion that he had been shot, sent him to the Emergency Hospital. There it was found that he had not been shot, but one of the shcts fired by Keefe struck Harry Miller, & carpenter, who lives at 1710 15th street, who was walking up 11th street, in the left leg above the knee, making a slight wound. Keefe was placed under arrest and sent to the first precinct station. Peyton claims that it ts a case of mis- taken identity, so far as he is concerned, He is a contractor and resides at 1214 Ist street southwest. He was charged in the Police Court today with assaulting Officer Keefe, and the case was continued until tomorrow. No charge will be made against Keefe. Willing to Stand Consequences. “I am willing to stand the consequences,” sald Lizzie Kane, a respectabe-looking young white woman, who was charged with disturbing her neighbors the other night with cursing her husband. “But Iw. simpiy talking to my husband in my own said the judge, “you cannot dis- turb your neighbors, and you will have to pay a fine of $10 or go to the workhouse for thirty days.” The woman did not have the amount and she stepped into the pen.
