A New Opening.

A new store has been opened by Mr.. j. c.
Hutchinson on the northeast corner of T and
Thirteenth streets. All the appointments Of
the place are tasteful and the appearance ofthe
millinery parlors indicate elegance. A rich
Brussels carpet of especial pattern covers the
floor and all the other fixtures of the rooms
are unique. Their ornamental parts are of
quartered sycamore, beautiful wood re-
sembling bird's-eye maple. Large windows
make the store an unusually well lighted one,
either gas or electric lights in the evening.
On the counter and shelves is an elaborate
display'of hats, bonnets, and other samples of
millinery technique, including specimens of
late Partisan goods Mr.. Hutchinaon's long
experience in this country and abroad as a
buyer of goods for New York houses makes
him an authority on millinery.

THE LOCAL srook NARKEr.
A Gratifying Increase In the Volume of
Business on the Exchange.

A Gratifying increase In the Volume OF
Business on the Exchange.
Business was fairly active on the local Stock
Exchange last week, with an aggregate OF
sales far above the average for the last FIVE or
six months. Bond rights exchangable for
convertible bonds of the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad to the extent of $1,000
sold for 130. For so shares of Washington
Gas stock 49s was paid and 25 shares were al
lowed to 90 for 43l. For 1900 Washington
Market Improvement skies 116l was paid.
There were larger sales of bank stocks last
week than usual. For 10 shares of Lincoln
bank 100 was paid; Columbia National
brought 155 and for Bank OF Washington
430 was realized. The closing bid on Lincoln
Bank was 9S, with no offerings. On Columbia
bank $50 was bid and 100 asked. For Bank OF
Washington 400 was bid with 4S0 asked.
Privately during the week 10 shares of Lin
coin Bank brought 102, and for small lot of
Second National 200 was paid. The only
sales of Metropolitan Railroad stocks last
week on the Board were 35 shares at 1921.
This is regarded as very low price, as the
prosperity of the road was never greater. AT
the close the lowest offering was at ITO with
of Georgetown and Tennallytown railroad was
also very moderate, namely $S5 The
closing bid was SO with no stock offering.
There is steady growth in the business of
the last-named company and dividend Is not
improbable in January.
American Graphophone stock continues
dull, with offerings at 81 and 6, of hundred
share lots. The only sale last week was of
thirty-seven shares privately at 81. For sew
eral weeks past there has been more or less
excitement in Graphophone circles over the
election of directors, announced to take place
at Harper's Ferry, on Monday, the 18th in
slant. Professor c. s. Tainter, one of the
principal inventors of the Graphophone, who
was formerly director Of the company, has
been announced as candidate, and there has
those who will not be personally present at
the election. The train for Harper's Ferry
will leave promptly at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow
monday morning, and the election is ad-
vertised to begin at l O'Clock p. m.
There was good bidding last week for
U. S. Electric Lighting stock stimulated
at the close by revival of the report
that there was great unanimity in the board
of directors concerning the propriety of com
pensating the stockholders for the long period
during which they were deprived Of dividends,
when all the earnings were allowed to be
used in building up the plant. 1t is the gen
eral opinion that this act of justice will take
the shape of a 33 per cent. dividend in con-
vertibe bonds. On Saturday ten shares of
this stock sold for 155. The sales not men,
toned above were as follows: 1000 U. s. as
at 116, 1900 of the same at 116! So shares Bull
Run Panorama stock at SIG, 500 Washington
and Georgetown convertible 6'sat 130, and / ,00C

stock at 1885, 1900 q. 3. Electric Light con-
vertible SIS at ITO, and S233 worth of U. s.

ACTOR WILLARD PROTESTED.
He Dropped His Role to Have n Crying
Infant Taken Out.

Infant Taken Out.
A scene not down on the bills, which seemed
to amuse some of the audience, but annoyed
most of them, occurred at the matinee at the
National Theatre yesterday afternoon. Sew
eral times during the earlier acts of "The
Middleman' an infant, which lad been brought
to the theatre by an inconsiderate mother
cried out SO as to be heard all over the house.
In the last act in one Of the most interesting
scenes of the play, when Mr.. Willard as Cyrus
Blenkdr1,, alone on the stage, apostrophizes
his supposed dead daughter for light as to
how he shall treat his enemies, the baby broke
out again worse than ever. Instantly the
spirit of the scene was lost and
portion of the audience began to litter. This
was too much for Mr.. Willard. He shook
himself out Of the part of Blenkarn, and ad-
yancing to the foot-Iights declared that 1t
would be impossible for him to go on unless
the infant was removed from the house. He
had borne the annoyance as long as he could,
in the hope that the infant would be taken
out, but he could endure it no longer. Either
the child must go or he would decline to pro-
ceed with the play Then Mr.. Willard re-
tired and the curtain was rung down. At this
woman in the front row of the gallery got
up with baby in long clothes in her arms
and left the theatre. The curtain went up
again and the play proceeded At the close of
the performance Mr.. Willard came out and
expressed his regret at having had to take the
course he did, but declared his patience had
been tried beyond endurance.

PROPOSED FLOWER MARKET
Florist Freeman Makes n Strong Protest
Against tho Project.

Florist Freeman Makes n Strong Protest
Against thc Project.
The District Commissioners are favorably
disposed toward the scheme of setting apart
the reservation at the corner OF Ninth street
and Pennsylvania avenue for the erection of
building to be devoted to the florists who are
now doing business in the Centre Market.
The project is being worked up by the market
florists and Gardener Smith, of the Botanical
Gardens The idea is to remove the trees and
foundation that now adorn the place and
erect market building.
Florists who do not do business in Centre
Market are not at all enthusiastic over the
scheme. Mr.. John X. Freeman, OF 4 and
Thirteenth streets, said yesterday that the
regularly established florists, those that pay
license to carry on the business, were op-
posed to the erection Of the building for the
benefit OF few. ''It is class legislation"
said Mr.. Freeman, tand in the name OF the
florists who by thrift and energy have built up
business here, pay taxes or heavy rent on
the property they occupy, l enter my pro-
test against the erection Of building de-
signed solely to benefit a few florists whose
sole property Is generally their stock
in trade. 1t is not right to erect on
a Government reservation building free from
taxes, where certain few can exhibit their
goods at no cost, while l aud my associates
have to pay regularly into the Golfers of the
on our business. What right have the Com
missoners to act In the premises any wayf If
the Commissioners will give me the privilege
of the reservation at Thirteenth street aud
Pennsylvania avenue, will put up building
that will be an ornament to the CITY,"

Ex-senator Henry w. Blair yesterday re-

which the latter says
Your resignation of the office of Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to
China was rendered some time ago, but action
upon it has been deferred for reasons well
sure you it has been source of great
regret 70 me that what believe to have been
a misunderstanding, has led to an nnten-
able objection on the part or China to your ac-
ceptance as representative OF this Govern
ment. have directed the Secretary of State
to protest to the Chinese government against
the sufficiency of the objections presented by
it, and TO say that you had terminated the cor
respondence by aperemptory resignation. Let
me assure you that have, after inquiry,
found nothing that in any degree reflects upon
your character or impairs the esteem and
friendship in which have long held you.

to the seminary mentioned which conflict
with and are contrary to the Bible and the
standards of his church, and with being I'M
sound in his views as to the character, state,
and sanctfcation of believers after death.
DR.. Briggs will conduct the defense personally.
He is regarded as the head of the new school
of Presbyterians, and in learning and ability.
commands the attention of educated people
everywhere. The expectation seems to be
that he will be found guilty of the charges
made against him, with the probable result.
that he will withdraw from membership in
the religious body of which he has been long
an ornament.
Dr. Briggs was born in New York City in
1S41. After his graduation at the universi-
ties of Virginia and Berlin he entered the
Union Theological Seminary, New York,
where he was graduated with the class of
1868. He spent the following few years in
business pursuit. In 1870 he was chosen
pastor of church at Roselle, N. j. Since
1875 he has been connected with the Union
Theological Seminary as professor. DR..
Briggs trial will begin on Wednesday, No

1T BECAME A RIOT.
Rough Experience OF a Party OF sporty
Gentlemen at q Prize Fight.


Last Sunday number Of "sporty" gentle
men left the city to witness a glove fight be-
tween two colored aspirants for pugilistic
honors. 1t was understood that the ''tough"
element was not in it, but the gentlemen who
was beguiled into going now regret the step,
as the crowd that attended turned out to be
about the worse mob that ever left the city.
On arriving at the boat the gentlemen found
things as predicted. They were the only ones
present, but just as the craft pulled out in the
stream q very motley gang rushed aboard.
The two contestants were Damaro and George,
and the toughs had it fixed that the former
was to win fairly if possible, foully if neces-
sary. The fight speedily developed into a
riot, and the gentlemen feel gratifed that
they are alive and safe out of the clutches of
the gang. George was the better fighter and
could have won, but cries of 'foul'' from
Damaro hackers, skidmore, Northridge
uties of the referee anything but peace
ful, and at the end of the sixth round
he declared the fight draw. The scene at
this point was sensational, as pistols were
drawn, blows were exchanged, and the won
der was that murder wasn't committed. On
the return trip of the steamer second of
George named Smith, said he could whip
Danaro; and this being heard by "Skinnyn
Bill, he seized bottle OF beer and struck
Smith across the face terrible blow. 1t
literally laid open Smith's face, and he fell
on the deck like dead man, while "Skinny''
Bill severed an artery In his hand, the force of
the blow bursting the bottle and cutting him.
He bled freely, and had 1t not been that the
boat was near Alexandra, would have bled to
death, but medical aid was procured at that
place and the wounds dressed. Tie respect
able element left the boat at Alexandria, glad
to get away from the gang. Smith is now in
Freedman's Hospital, while skinny Bill is
walking around with his arm in sling.

The bids for the poorhouse, having proved,
after second bidding, too high, the Commis-

trict Attorney for his opinion IS to the pro-
prety of allowing the lowest bidder, after
cutting sufficient work from the plans to
bring it below the appropriation, to have the
contract. The attorney has stated that in
order to do 80, each of the other bidders will
have to sign paper giving his permission for
the same. Mr.. Entwisle has accordingly mott
fed all bidders to call at his Office with view

Estimates for District Expenses

The Commissioners spent some time yester-
day in examining the various estimates which
have been submitted to them by the several
departments of the District government for
the sums necessary to conduct them for the
next fiscal year, preparatory to fixing the esti-
mates for the District Appropriation bill to be
submitted to the next session of Congress.
Considerable ground was carefully gone over,
but no definite action was taken. At the request
of Colonel Robert, Captain Rossell represented
him at this consultation.
