THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1898-16 PAGES. 7 G ih Mik N UNTIL 9:30 TOMORROW NIGHT. The Last of Our Great Trade Sale! It has served its purpose magnificently! It kept things on the go *bout the store. Gave life and energy to August selling and scored another buli’s-eve for us on the target of public favor. But “special lines” and “jobs” and “samples” must disappear-from the scenes now. The fall has knocked on the door of time and is already occupying the best room. Away with the remnants of this great sale! Let’s clear out the odd lots and the half-sold samples—and make way for the rightful claimant. All our bargain energy is massed in this one issue—this one day’s sell- ing—and the whole store must hum with the refrain of low prices. 75c. Natural Wool Underwear, 39c.

Recent Social Events Here of Inter- ent—Personal Notes—Recent Departures. The Washington friends of the Leiter family are, like the rest of their acquaint- ances, a little mixed up as to which of the Misses Leiter should receive congratu- jations over the approaching honor of christening the new battle ship, the Illi- nois. The chances are that the distinction is meant for Miss Nannie Leiter, the elder of the young ladies. The honor will have its drawbacks in one way, 28 simultaneously with the announcement has come a petition in the form of a letter to Miss Leiter from the W. C. T. U. that water be used in- stead of champagne. Water was used when the Kentucky was launched, and the success attending that request on the part of the temperance folks makes it extremely probable that it will be again the christen- ing fluid for this last addition to the Ameri- can navy. As Miss Leiter lives at least as lorg in each year in Washington as she does anywhere else, and is very much bet- ter known here than in Illinois, the society of the capital can take an extremely per- scnal interest in the launching of the new battle ship, since one of its leading belles will be so much to the fore on that occa- sion. Dr. W. L. Robins left Wednesday for New York, having received an appointment as surgeon in the new hospital at Bedioe s Island. Mrs. Robins will join him in Oc- tober.

A reception was given by the Herndon Fortnightly Club at the residence of Col. Stephenson Thursday evening to Mrs. Flor- ence S. Dufiig and Miss Virginia Castleman prior to their departure from Herndon. A large number of guests, representing lead- ing families of the section, were present. Mrs. Stephenson, in a few happy remarks, referred to the active part these ladies had taken in the club, Mrs. Duffie béing the first president and Miss Castleman twice secretary. She expressed her regret and also the regret of the club at the breaking of the ties that had bound the club togeth- er. The literary program was excellent and varied. An original poem by Miss Cas- tleman, dedicated to Mrs. Duflle, was recit- ed by Miss Anita Schade of Washington. Music was rendered by the Posten family, Dr. Yount and Miss McCoy, and dramatic recitations were given by Miss Schade and Miss Grace Stephenson. At the close of the program a collation was served, and the remainder of the evening passed in social intercourse. Mrs. Duffie will pass the winter in Washington and Miss Castl in Philadelphia. sb eda is SS TURKS KILLED CHRISTIANS. Sultan’s Troops Butchered the People During the Candia Riots. The correspondent of the London Times at Candia, telegraphing Thursday, says: “It is estimated that no fewer than $00 Christians have been massacred, and the town has been pillaged by Bashi Bazouks and the Turkish soldiers. All reports agree as to the disgraceful behavior of the Turk- ish troops, who were seen firing on Col. Reid. The mob ran through the streets, shouting ‘Death to the English.’ Parts of the town are still burning.” According to a dispatch from Candia, sent late last evening, the admirals of the international fleet have decided to compel the disarming of the Bashi Bazouks and the surrender of the instigators of the dis- order. The correspondent of the London Stand- ard, telegraphing Thursday from the Brit- ish battle ship Camperdown, off Candia, say: “The refugees tell ghastly stories of mas- Sacre. They report that no fewer than 700 Christians are missing. “It has been ascertained that all the houses overlooking the British camp were loop-holed for rifle fire and barricaded. This shows that the outbreak was preconcerted. “Every Christian survivor of the mas- sacre swears that the butchery was mostly the work of the Turkish soldiers, who first robbed and then slew their victims. Ed- hem Pasha is the man who ought to be held primarily responsible. The following dispatch was received from Candia last evening: “The Bashi Bazouks are committing ex- cesses and the Christians in the surround- ing districts are arming to march to the assistance of the Candians. “There are eight warships in the har- bor and a fresh bombardment is expected. The British, German and Spanish consu- lates have been looted.’’ ——+ TRIED TO SAVE EACH OTHER. Evidences of Heroic Efforts by Young Wheeler and His Friend.

Kirk- patrick, who was drowned with young Wheeler, will be taken to the home of his father, R. D. Kirkpatrick of Lexington, Va. The War Départment has been requested to. detail an officer ‘to accompany ‘Lieuten-. ant Kirkpatrick's remains to Virginia.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9.—The Corshohocken brewery plent, located at Conshohocken, a suburb of this city, was destroyed by fire yesterday.

Sorrow in the Regiment Over the Drowning of Two Comrades— The Bodies Reeevered. Members of the 15th Pennsylvania Vol- unteers, who have spent about thre> months at Fort Washington and Sheridan Pcint, were dn the move early this morn- ing under orders to proceed to Camp Meade, at Middletown, Pa. The memb2rs of this regiment have received no intima- tion that they will be mustered out in tue near future. On the contrary, they >x- pect to go to Porto Rico, and almost every man in the regiment is ready and willing to go. This afternoon the regiment reached the city, coming on Captain Randall's steamers. The regiment will leave at 6 o'clock this evening over the Baltimore and Ohio road for Camp Meade While the men carry with them many pleasant recollections of their stay at Fort Washington and their nume'ous visits to the city, the last days of their stay were saddened by the drowning of Privates C fee and Greener, as told n vest>rday Star. While Privates Coffee and Greener were not abie to return alive to their homes in Erie, their bodies will find resting places among their friends. Yesterday afternoon, about 3:30 o'clock, the body of Coffee came to the surface. All day long Harbormaster Sutton’s crew and the soldiers had worked faithfully in the boats. The channel, as well es the shallow borders, had been dragged a number of times, and those en- gaged in the task had about concluded that the swift water had taken both bodies down the river. Rody of Coffee Sighted. Frederick Spadacene, who had stopped in the hospital at Point Sheridan to make a sick call when he reached there with his comrades, Coffee and Greener, was among the hard workers, and he was in the boat with Privates Norris and Cone when the body of Coffee was sighted. It rose to the surtace of the water within a very short distance of where he was seen to go under the day before. The three men in the boat announced the discovery to the other searchers, and the members of the crew of the police boat took charge of the re- mains. Many of the soldicrs were visibly affected when they saw the body of their companion towed ashore. Additional boats were then fitted out to make the searcn for the other man. Those who had worked hard ail day volunteered to go out again after supper time, but night came cn without their ef- forts having been rewarded. Greener's Body Recovered. Private Greener's body was recovered early this morning, and when the news was reczived here the police boat was sent to bring the body to the city. The body was brought up this afternoon, and will be ship- ped to Erie with the body of his companion. It so happened that a brother-in-law of Coffee was on guard duty at the wharf when his body was brought in, and, almost hearibroken, he rested on his gun and shed bitter tears. A Mother's Request. When the-city was reached the body was removed to the undertaking es-ablishment of Clyde Nichols & Co., on 1th street, and prepared for burial. The mother of the dead man, who had been notified of the accident, telegraphed a request that his body be sent home. Only a short time be- fore the recovery of the body a letter ad- dressed to the’ deceesed was received at the fort from his wife. Only a few days ago he received a ietter from his wife, in which was inclosed a picture of his baby, a girl only six months old. Coffee's father, who ts also in the service, is sick in the hospital at Norfolk. —S LATE ARMY ORDERS.
