a white Cap Outro ge at West Randolph

West Randolph was the scene of a dis
graceful white cap performance one night
last week when five young men broke into
the house of John Witherton and took FL
mer Ford, a supplemented fellow, from
his bed and covered him with tar and
feathers. They attempted to give Isa, the
married daughter of Witherton, who slept
in an adjoining room, similar dress, but
she resisted desperately and tore the mask
from the face of one of the young men and
scratched him badly. The cause of the
outrage is said to be that Ford and the
woman have been guilty of improprieties

WASHINGTON GROVE.
Interesting Exercises at the First Full Day
of the Camp Meeting.


OF the Camp Meeting.
CORRESPONDENCE of The Evening Star.
WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP MEETING
August IL, 1892.
The sojourners in the Grove are early risers
Only few of them need DIR. Laney's rising bell
to arouse them. This is charming place in
which to sleep and dream away the hours be-
tween IL O'Clock pm. and am, but people
more wide awake and intent upon making
others happy and being happy themselves it
would not be an easy task to find.
At clock in the morning the market place
is the center of animation. These folks live on
fresh fruits and vegetables, gathered with the
dew on, and poultry raised on the neighboring
farms. The majority of the cottagers have set
up their own culinary department, but many
families occupy cottages and subsist on the ex-
cellent table provided by our genial host of the
Albany. Everybody seems comfortable and
there Is fair show for a most prosperous and
successful camp meeting.
The first full day of the series was highly sat
isfactory, in spite of the high temperature of
the forenoon. Elder MAYORS family worship
at the tabernacle was well attended. At IL
o clock the people came from every avenue to
the place of public worship. expecting TO receive
a rich feast in the sermon that Dr. Wilson Of
Wesley Chapel gave them on The Perfection
of the Saints" The sermon lifted us to higher
ground and filled the altar place with Christians
in fuller conservation. The mothers met in the
chapel tent at o'clock and exchanged conf
dences and prayed for the conversion of their
children. The little people held an interesting
service at the same hour, under the conduct of
DR.. VIM. II. Laney.
At $50 pm. fairly large congregation lis
tened to unique and forcible discourse from
Rev. W. ]. Thompson, the popular pastor OF
Fourth Street Church. The first of the series
OF services by the young people was held in
the Grove avenue tent at $50, led by Mrs. Clara
Roach, with Mrs. j. r. Mickle as organist and
Mr.. Bernard Watkins. cornetist The half hour
was pleasantly and probably spent in testi-
mony, song and prayer. At 8 o'clock the larg-
est cOncourse of the season assembled to hear a
sermon from Rev. C. l.. Pate. formerly Of
Montgomery circuit. but now of Twelfth Street
Church. Mr.. Pate fills large and warm spot
in the hearts of this people, who heard him
gladly as be spoke feelingly and well of 1.-The
eternal life of those who know Him, the only
true and living God"

The Eight-Hour Law.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to the decision Of the attorney for
the District Commissioners on the eight-hour
law, do you not think the law designates clearly
who do and who do not come under its pro-
visions? When it clearly pointed out certain
cases exempt from the law, such as where con-
tracts had been made for government work
prior to the enactment OF this law. &C., il il
clear the Law was intended to stop work in ex-
cess Of eight hours per day in all other branches
OF the government service. II the trainers Of
this law did not intend that il should restrict
the hours Of labor TO eight per diem in tho
street cleaning, harbor masters and other de-
partments of the government service mention
would certainly have been made of the fact in
the law. think il is q recognized custom in
Nhe courts to interpret law in accordance with
tAeirtention Of the trainers. TIE SrAR 10 the
recognized friend OF the mechanic and working
classes in this vicinity. Win il take MP this
matter and have fair and just Interpretation
rendered? I know instances in the District
service where the hours per day are twelve
every day in the yeat. xsczAuc.

A ID isappointed Excursionist.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
hope you will have the kindness to insert
the following in your valuable paper for the
benefit of the citizens Of Washington: On read
ing an advertisement in The EVENING STAR Of
the attractions at Bay Ridge six Of my family
made up their minds totake the excursion and.
with that intention, We left Washington on the
9:15 a. m. train Tuesday, the Sth instant, for
Bay Ridge with the intention of taking the
boat, as advertised Con the steamer Columbia
to Baltimore and back. On our arrival at Bay
Ridge, IL a. m, we left the train and started for
the boat but just as We turned the Bay Ridge
dining room, to our utter surprise and disap-
pointment, we discovered the steamer Column
bia leaving the pier. A general exclamation
from those on the excursion, "Why, the boat is
not leavingr' when we were informed, "Oh,
yes, and she will not be back before evening" -
So that we all had to accept the situation and
remain at Bay Ridge and not enjoy that pleas
ant ride we had anticipated on the bay when o
delay OF ten minutes on the part Of the officials
Of the steamer Columbia would have enabled all
to have been on the boat think it due to the
public that they should know that their adver-
tisement is not carried out Many said il was
an outrage, and one gentleman, a retired mer-
chant, stated to me that he made three trips q
week to Bay Ridge and that it WAS a frequent
occurrence, and that when he made the boat he
had to be ready to jump and run on the arrival
Of the train. Hoping may be the means Of
preventing others from being disappointed
