this is the self-control of culture-while the

The Railroad to Arlin gtOn.

Considerable interest is being shown by
business men in the proposed railroad from
Washington to Arlington and S65, 600 worth of
the stock was disposed of last week at the
Office of the company, Room 6s in the Corcoran
Building This road will not only carry
passengers to and from Arlington, but will
also extend to Fort Myer, Alexandria, Falls
Church, and Mount Vernon. The projecto ors
of the road are energetic capitalists, who are
determined to begin preliminary work early
next month and to push it to completion.
They are men who have had long and success
full experience in the construction and oper-
ating of street railroads and who look upon
the franchise which they have acquired as be-
ing of the most valuable character. The road
will begin at the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road depot and run along street to Virginia
avenue, thence to the Washington and George
town Railroad tracks, through Georgetown,

Reviving the Bal Masque.
an Francisco Ar1onaut.

In London, recently, a young woman ap-
peared at the mask ball in Covent Garden ar
rayed in Egyptian gauzes, and the effect was
so striking that an attendant was sent to her
by the management with word that she must
Immediately cloak herself or leave the building.
She was delight to the eye, but a serious
menace to the event, for this ball had been
planned by Mr.. Augustus Harris on lines of
the severest decorum. Let it be said that the
transparent young lady at once enyeloped
herself in rose-colored domino and thus
screened the only wicked beauty of the i'm
posing occasion from general scrutiny 1t is
fact that, until very lately, London has not
known such thing as public costume ball.
UP TO the present season such functions were
regarded with grave apprehensions by the
authorities. 1t was justly believed that
fancy ball would serve to assemble the fever
lsh reyelers in a gorgeous carnival of unwhole-
some mirth, and, therefore, all previous efforts
to get up an affair OF the kind have been frown-
ed down. Mr.. Augustus Harris, however, who
is treasured by the press and public of London
as a sort of tin god of high lustre, made up
his mind to bring the thing to pass, and,
behold he has most successfully done SO. Mr..
Harris has not only been lord high sheriff of
London, but he has staged the handsomest
pantomimes and managed the grandest operas
That the city has ever seen. Therefore he had
the confidence of the whole kingdom when he
organized the costume ball Ittook place, and
was repeated with imm mense triumph at Covent
Garden and was honored by the presence of
the Prince of Wales, who, it is said, Thought
the lady in the Egyptian gauzes was need
lessly interfered with.

of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, pulled
out of the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 1:3O
yesterday afternoon, the guests of the
Baltimore and Ohio, to assist at the opening Of
Bay Ridge. The trip from beginning to end
was practical evidence of the fact that the
Baltimore and Ohio never does anything by
halves. From the elegantly appointed train
that made the trip over in about fifty minutes
to the bounteous supper in the commodious
pavilion, nothing was omitted to render the
excursion perfect. So carefully were all the
details planned that not moment was lost

sort has been renovated and improved in
many respects At this point the party

Bay Ridge plainly in sight, and in front the
whole expanse of one of the finest bodies of
water on the coast, 1t presents a rare combina-

laid off into avenues, streets, blocks, and

BOWIE WOULDN'T TREAT.
AND WASHINGTON ATTEMPTED TO
STAB HIM TO THE HEART.
The Assaulted Man Got Possession of
the Knife and Almost Disemboweled
His Assailant-B Bowie Badly Cut in
the Side.

Last night about 7:3o o'clock George Bowie,
a laboring man employed at the warehouse of
Mr.. James II. McGill, on Delaware avenue
northeast, was going to his home No. 922
Delaware avenue, when he was stopped by
Charles Washington and Jake Boan. These two
had just emerged from the saloon Of George
Leary, at the corner of X street and Delaware
avenue, and seeing Bowie asked him to 90 in
side and treat them. Bowie replied that he
only had fifteen cents, and as he wanted that
for another purpose he could not ac-
commodate them. The men then
entered into q discussion as to the
treating, Washington and Bolan in
sisting on Bowie spending the fifteen cents
In order to get them drink, and each grabbed
hold of his arms to force him to do as they
wished. He pulled away from them and
started toward home, but Washington, not to
and said with an oath, 'You will treat" and
made lunge at Bowie's heart. The knife
glanced off, striking Bowie in the side, cutting
long and deep slash from the sixth to the
tenth rib. AS soon as Bowie discovered that
he was cut be made savage rush on Wash
wav pounded his assailant about the
face, grabbed the knife out of his
hand, and cut him four times
about the body. one cut extending clear across
his stomach and literally disemboweling him.
The scene of the affrayis away out toward
Kendall Green, in lonely spot, but
the police were quickly on hand and had the
three principals under arrest. Bowie was
sent to the Emergency Hospital, where Drs.
Hall and Boss dressed his wounds, and where
he is now held in custody Washington was
sent Immediately TO Providence Hospital for
treatment, but the physician in charge said his
case was hopeless one and it would only be
question of few hours ere he died. Bolan
was arrested and is now held at the Ninth
Precinct as an accomplice. All the parties to
the affray are colored. oah
