Had the storm which drenched and then
nearly froze this city Saturday afternoon and
night not been in such hurry Gen. Greely's
prediction of a rainy Sunday, which he made to
STAR reporter Saturday morning, would have
been accurate. But the trouble was it didn't
last long enough, and. as is usual in such
storms, it compressed within the few hours of
Its endurance here an amount of fury and vio-
lence that would have done credit to the wind

The changes Of temperature and the increase
and decrease of the velocity of the wind we're
sufficiently rapid and marked to take every
body by surprise, and when the sun rose smil-
lnSly yesterday morning after one of the worst
nights OF the season surprise and qualification
took the places Of sleet and blizzard zephyrs.
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE DONE
The damage done was considerable. in view
OF the short duration of the storm. large
number of local wires were blown down, being
burdened with the soggy snow. and it was found
as soon as matters cleared a little that q great
man Of the outside wires had also fallen. All
yesterday the communication north was inter-
rupted at Baltimore. but by the evening the
breaks had been SO far repaired that by using
the Cincinnati route New York and the rest of
the north could be reached. The signal service
had very few reports except from the south,
the wires being all right in that direction.
report was received here yesterday that over a
thousand poles had fallen between this city and

AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION.
Given st the Columbia Athletic Club on
Saturday Evening.


Saturday Evening.
The most interesting Of the regular semi
monthly athletic exhibitions of the Columbia
Athletic Club took place last Saturday night
before large audience of club members and
their friends.
Distance jumping under the low bar opened
the exercises. Messrs Dashiell, Elder, Bar
nard, Seweil, Brickenstein, Tibbett and Cross
ley competed, Crossley winning at ten feet
two inches. Jumping under low bar for
height followed, with the same contestants.
Prot. Crossley won this after hard struggle,
clearing five feet ten inches. Eugene Byrnes
did clever club swinging act, and the gym
mast class, composed Of Messrs. Jones, Null
drow, sewell Laferty. Tyler and Elder, with
Prof. Crossley as leader, went through diff
cult and entertaining act of forming pyramids.
This was the first public exhibition Of the class
and 1t reflected great credit on Prof. Crossley.
fencing tournament took mp the next half
hour The first bout was between Prof. En-
mons and Lieut. Pierce, the former winning by
score of points to 2. The second bout, be-
tween Lieut. Fletcher and Mr.. McCard, was
won by Lieut. Fletcher after spirited contest
Prof. Emmons and Lieut. Fletcher then crossed
swords for the final bout: and, after a very ex-
citing contest, Prof. Emmons won, the score
being to 4. The brother gymnastic ex-
hibition of Prof. Crossley and Elder
was hnlshed piece Of work. DIR.
Shaffrt and Mr.. Mitchell then contested for SUI
premacy at wrestling in Graeco-Roman style,
the latter winning on a foul. Then came the
feature of the evening-the trapeze perform
ance of Messrs. Dashiell and Sewell. These
gentlemen went through the difficult gyrations
on the flying trapeze with the skill of old-time
circus performers and received an ovation.
The batteau board exercises followed and saw
ored of the circus, where all the acrobats in the
last act turn somersaults over elephants. The
club couldn't furnish the elephants but a
fence curtain answered the purpose just as well.
Secretary Perry then announced the sparring
bouts and his remarks were received with APP
plause. The first bout was between Elder and
Green. Mr.. Sweet of the New Jersey Athletic
Club was selected referee and Messrs. Rainier
and Carter judges. Mr.. J. Z. Jones looked
after Elder and III. NJ. Dickinson did the honOrs
for Green. Will Hibbs held the watch. The
exhibition was spirited from the start and after
three rounds fun of ginger Elder awarded
the match by the referee, the judges failing to
agree. The heavyweight sparring followed
and closed the exhibition. Messrs. Dickinson
and Irwin were introduced the combatants.
Owing to the sickness of Irwin the bout was a
tame affair. The next exhibition will take
place in two weeks and promises to eclipse all
others.

charged.


charged.
Saturday afternoon in the Police Court Prose-
cutting Attorney Mullowney called Judge Nil
lers attention to the case of o. 8. @. Click,
| who was arrested some days ago on a charge Of
false pretenses. He stated that he was not
ready for trial and asked for postponement
until today. The prosecuting officer said he
had promised hearing in the Police Court,
but the important witness, Harry Smith of
Richmond, had returned home after appearing
before the grand jury. He desired to say that
he did not know why Mr.. Smith had appeared
before the grand jury and departed. as he (Mr.
Mullowney) certainly intended to give the de-
PENDANT preliminary hearing.
Detective Raft, who made the arrest. said
that the witness was summoned by a United
States marshal by direction Of the District at
torney and he appeared before that body as
the summons directed. Messrs. Cook and
Metzger for the defendant argued against q
further postponement because the case had
been set peremptorily for Saturday and the
government was not ready.
Mr.. Mullowney stated that the grand Jury
had investigated the case and it was within his
knowledge that u presentment had been found
The Indictment he said, would be reported
this morning.
Judge Miller spoke Of the prisoner rights in
the matter, and said he could not take into ac-
count what the grand jury had done. The de-
PENDANT WAS thereupOn released. Before he
could get out Of the court room, however, he
was brought back and the case was tried.
Mr.. Geo. N. Rider, in whose employ Click
had been, was called, and he gave evidence
concerning Clicks employment by him AZ
agent in Richmond for Appleton Il Co. He
said that Lawyer Clark had paid him $6S on
Clicks account.
Lawyer Clark was called, but he was not
compelled to testify. as no had acted in the
nature of counsel. He, however, said that he
had paid Rider the $50 as settling the account
between Click and Rider
Detective Raft gave evidence in the case, and
the prosecuting officer again asked for con-
.inuance until Monday to bring the witness
from Richmond
The court, however, declined to grant the
motion and discharged Click.

Geo. Bancroft and "the National University"
The late Mr.. George Bancroft was very much
interested in the movement toward Methodist
National University in Washington. just after
the beautiful site on the northwestern heights
had been purchased Bishop Hurst called on him
and explained the object which the friends of
the institution had in view and the general
plan in their mind. Mr.. Bancroft subsequently
sent a check of $50 as an expression of his in
dorsement of the institution and accompanied
it with the following letter, which will have
always peculiar value to all friends of the
university:
1923 II street northwest. Washin gton, Z. c..
April IA, 1s9O.-My Dear Bishop: thank you
for giving me an opportunity Of showing how
highly esteem the importance of the great de-
sign upon which you have entered of establish
ing university in the capital of our country
to be thoroughly complete in every branch Of
| science and human learning. The importance
of the object at which you aim cannot be too
forcibly stated, and hope that the result may
be university equal 70 any in the world.
Yours, most truly, GEORGE BANcRorr.
