Police Court Proceedings. ‘The assault case of Henry Mason, col- ored, previously noted in The Star, came up for trial this morning before Mayor Simpson in the police court. Mason was charged with a dual assault, Celia John- son and George Minor being his victims. The evidence submitted was to the effect that the trouble, which occurred about 12 o'clock ene night recently, was caused by jealousy on Mason's part. He first attack- ‘ed Minor with a shoe, inflicting 2 severe wound, and then beat the Johnson woman. There was no evidence to show that a dan- gerous weapon had been used, and the mayor imposed a fine of $25. Two small school boys were arraigned to- day for fighting on the street, and were dismissed with a reprimand. Andrew Deaton, charged with disorderly ecnduct, forfeited $5 collateral by his non- appearance. ‘Alice Callahan, a white woman, was ar- rested on complaint of her neighbors, who charged her with being drunk and violent. She was given thirty days at the work- house in default of $ fine. Charles Baltimore, colored, was charged with fighting and throwing’ stones about the local depot. The fine was $5. New Rails for King Street. It is announced that the directors of the Washington, Alexandria and Mt.

It is but natural that the star should shine more brilliantly in this play than any other, for it was written by himself and constructed with a special view to his fitness for the strong dual role that dominates the piece. But not alone was Mr. Clarke seen at his | best, but all of the company seemed to be More suited to their especial parts than in any one of the former productions. The play itself is one of rare merit, a strong ro- mantic drama equal in brightness of dia- logue and intensity to the works of many of the old master playwrights. It is In four acts, and has been greatly improved since its first production in this city last year. Mr. Clarke lias the part of a Russian noble- man in the first act, having an opportunity for a clever death scene, while in the re- mainder of the play he is the nobleman’s Srown-up son, the last of his race, whose battie in life is to prove fis identity. Miss Adelaide Prince as Marie de Neuville, the leading feminine role, does perhaps her best work in the repertory. Others seen to advantage in Mr. Clarke's drama wer John Carter, George Parker, J. J. Sam- brook, Rodney Burton, P. 8. erick Forreste sleigh, L. B. Grey, Alice Gale, Lucy Stone, Haywood, Ina brooks and Edith.

York, EXCURSIONS, The news that the huge battle ship Il- linois will be laurched at Newport News, Va., on Tuesday next has attracted a great deal of attention, and already guests are arriving at Fortress Monroe and its neigh- boring resorts to witness this interesting event. A large number from this city have signified their intention of going to Newport News to see the launching by engaging state rooms on the steamer of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company which will ieave 7th street wharf Monday evening at 630, The launching will not take place until 11:30 a.m., so that all who take this steamer arrive at Newport News several hours before the battle ship makes Fer initial dip into the briny deep. State rooms may be secured for the round trip at the company’s offices at 7th street wharf, at the Baitimore and Obio ticket office, 1th street and New York avenue, and at the city ticket offices of the company, 513, 619,817 and 1421 Pennsylvania avenue, where any information relative to the trip may be obtained. ‘The steamers of the Norfolk and Washington line form the only direct route to Fortress Monroe, Nor- folk, Portsmouth and Newport News, leav- ing 7th street wharf daily at 6:30 p.m. They are the largest and finest steamers on the rive Their saloons and state rooms are spacious and handsomely fur- nished. They are heated by steam, lighted by electricity and fitted with all the mod- ern conveniences for comfort. Dining room service is a la carte, everything in season being served at very reasonable prices. Strangers in the city who have not paid a visit to Arlington will have an_oppor- tunity to go very economically on Sunday. The same reduced rate which has been in effect on Sundays during the summer will again be in force the coming Sunday on the electric trains operated by the Washing- ten, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Rail- way Company. The cool weather has add- ed a new beauty to Arlington, for while the green lawns and beautiful flowers remain unchanged the leaves of the huge old shade trees are changing color and are handsomer than ever with their brilliant hues. Strangers will be especially interested in viewing the graves of General Sheridan and many other of the nation’s most {llus- trious dead. Electric trains leave the sta- tion at street and Pennsylvania avenue every forty-five minutes for Arlington on Sunda lectric trains leave for Mount Vernon, the home and tomb of Washington, every hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. fe eesge AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, New Waiting Station Rendy for Use —Other News.

Biedermann, who ts the distinguished organist of St. Mary's Church of New York city. This mass, which is cemparatively new to this city, is melo- dicus throughout, and skillfully written, without thereby detracting from its de- votional intention.

Dr. Thompson is a graduate of the University of Virginia and has been commected with the New York Polyclinic Hogital, CAPTURE QUICKLY MADE Man Accused of Sending ina False Alarm of Firé. The Case to Be Thocoughly Investi- gated—Detective Hartigan Compli- mented and @:ewarded. ‘The case of the manowho gave his name as John Brown when arrested about 2 o'clock this morning by J)etective Hartigan, on the charge of sending fn a false alarm of fire to the department headquarters, will not be heard for severa) days, as Superin- tendent Sylvester desires to make a thor- ough investigation of all the circumstances surrounding the affair. The capture of the man reflects credit on Detective Hartigan, who was today not only commended for his skill, but informed that he would re- ceive a reward of $50 for the part he took in the affair. At 9:31 o'clock last evening an alarm was sent in from box 531. Commisstoner Wight, who has communication from his home with the fire department, rang up the officer at the District buiiding and ask- ed where the fire was. “There is none; the alarm was false,” was the reply he received. “Give me No. 5 station,” said Mr. Wight. The order was complied with, and the officer in charge of the station was asked for. The reply came: “It is Sergt. Montgomery. He ts at the "phone. “Sergeant,” said Mr. Wight, “I want you to get the party or parties who turned in that false alarm.”’ “I have instructed the men to look out for the offenders,” responded the sergeant. “That won't do,” Mr. Wight rejoined. “I want the offender or offenders caught.” Commisioner Wight next c@lled up Super- intendent Sylvester. The latter was away from his home on official business, but re- turned in a little while and immediately placed himself in communication with the Commissioner. As the result, Major Syl- vester sent for Detective Hartigan. He was found at his home, having retired for the night, and as soon as he reported over the wire for duty, Major Sylvester told him what was wanted. The detective went to No. 5 precinct and was soon afterward rewarded by seeing Brown apparently in the act of pulling an- other box. It is supposed he saw the de- tective, for, without carrying out his pur- pose, he started off at a brisk walk. Har- tigan followed him to the Capitol grounds, through them and up to North Capitol and F streets. By this time, however, the fugi- tive had gained a little on the detective, and was about to pull another box, having already broken the glass, when the officer arrested him and took him to No. 6 sta- tion, where he was locked up. The arrest of Brown is the first made un- der the recent order of Major Sylvester, which directed that officers must pay no attention to precinet boundaries when they are in pursuit of a party whom it is their duty to arrest. ———— RUMOR UNFOUNDED. News Received From a District Sol- dier Reported as Dead. The rumor which reached this city yes- terday that Privates Louis W.

This morning Mrs. M. S.

Schools at Marlboro’ and Surratt’s Closed in Consequence. Special Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., September 30, 1898. Owing to the prevalence of diphtheria, the public schools in Marlboro’ and Surratt’s have been closed. Today the trustees of the Upper Marlboro’ Academy held a meet- ing, and it was thought advisable to close the school until October 10. Already there have been twelve deaths from the disease in that immediate locality. The cases have almost been confined to the colored resi- dents. In the neighborhood of Mellwood there have been several cases, but the doc- tors now in charge seem to think they have mastered the situation, and that the epi- demic will be confined to the present sick patients. The October term of court for Prince George’s county will convene at Mariboro’ Monday next. The term will probably oc- cupy several weeks. There are thirty-five prisoners in jail, and twelve out on bail. Among the trials will be homicide, shoot- ing, cutting, highway robbery, larceny and assault. Dallas Lumsen, a farm hand employed by Mr. Alsop, a huckster living near Blad- ensburg, Was struck at an early hour this morning by engine 213, about 500 yards south of Bladensburg, and seriously in- jured. He was brought to Alexandria junc- tion by the crew of extra engine 213 and sent to the hospital in Washington for medical attention. When seen by the en- gineer, Lumsen was lying in the middle of the track, but owing to the momentum of his train and heavy grade at that point the accident was declared to be unavoidable. —_>——_ Was Cruel to a Mule. / Robert Lee was fined $25 by Judge Kim- ball today for cruelty to a mule.

SUFFRAGE HEARING. Federatio: of Labor Inquiring Into Local Sentiment. A hearing will be given to the opponents of suffrag: in the District of Columbia Wednesday evening next, as announced yesterday in The Star, by President Gom- Pers and Secretary Morrison of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, to whom the mat- ter was referred at the last annual conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor, held in Nashville, Tenn., last December, and was the result of the adoption of res lutions declaring for suffrage in the District by the Central Labor Union of this city at its meeting held November 8, 1807. The specia! resolution which caused the An.erican Federation of Labor to take an interest in the matter was offered by Mr William Silver, the delegate from Wash- ingtcn, and was as follows: “That the deie- gate from the Central Labor Union is in- structed to bring the matter to the atten- tion of the coming convention of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, and in behalf of this organization request that th? repre- sentatives of organized labor and all cen- tral bodies throughout the country petition their respective representatives in Congress to favor legislation which will secur? to the residents of the District of Columbia the rights and privileges of American citizen- ship.” The resolutions were referred to a com- mittee, which, in turn, referred the sub- ject to the executive council of the Amer!- cen Federation of Labor, which was direc ed to inquire into the political status of the residents of the District of Columbia and report at the coming convention of the American Federation of Labor, which will be held in Kansas City in December. At the last meeting of the executive coun- cil Messrs. Gompers and Morrison were ‘authorized to conduct ths hearing, it being inconvenient for the other members of the ccuncil to come to Washington as frequent- ly as would be necessary if the hearings were had by the full council. Several weeks ago a hearing was given to those who favored suffrage here, and as it is desired by Messrs. Gompers and Morti- son to hear both sides, the meeting Wed- nesday evening next has b>en arranged for. Special invitations to attend the coming meeting have been sent to Commissioners John W. Ross and John B. Wight, Mesers. H. B. F. MacFarland, M. M. Parker, John Joy Edson, omas Somerville, S. W. Wcodward, Walter A. Acker, S. 8S. Burdett, H. V. Boynton, J. D. Croissant, J. W.
