The United States coast survey steamer En-
deavor, Lieut.. Lowell K. Reynolds command
ing, will sail from Baltimore for Washington

deck house joiner work has been renewed, a
new main deck has been laid, two new masts
have been stepped, new rudder and rudder
posts put in. The vessel has been locked and

The Endeavor WAS an Offering Of ladies Of
Norfolk to the confederate government. The
ladies gave their jewels to build the vessel. A
shipbuilder named Graves began the work in
the town Of Berkeley. The ladies decided that
the vessel should be named Lady Davis in COM
pliment to the wife Of the president Of the con-
federacy. When the federal army took posses
sion OF Norfolk on the 10th Of May, 1862 the
Lady Davis was on the stocks. She was COM

A SUPERFLUOUS WIFE.

William Nelson to Have a Chance to Prove
His Innocence of Bigamy.
Eight years ago Thornton Nelson, otherwise
known as William Nelson, and Jane Nelson, his
wife. came here from Shepherdstown, W. Va,
and were welcomed to membership in Mount
Zion Church. Until year ago they attended SER
vices in the church, and were visited by members
Of the flock. Then the husband ceased being
a regular attendant and later it was learned
that he had taken unto himself another wife in
the person Of Harriet Lee, a resident of this
city. Pastor Luckett of Miles Chapel per-
formed the ceremony.
Thornton's action was questioned by the
church people and his plea was that the first
marriage was not legal because he was not
married by regularly licensed minister
Mrs Nelson No. l recently determined to
have him arrested. This was done yesterday,
and Thornton was compelled to face both
women in the Police Court this morning Har-
riet said she had heard that Thornton was
married and that his wife was living, but she
did not know whether he was married or
whether they were just living together
member CT the church told OF Thornton's
claim as to the illegality OF his first marriage.
and Judge Kimball said ne would give him a
chance 10 prove it. The prisoner was held for
the grand jury and was committed to Jail in
default of S5O0 security.

Pennsylvania between 131S and 14th streets be-
tween II and O'Clock today.
Mr.. John Bannon, q stonecutter by trade,
who was foreman for J. r. Manning 4 Co., fell
through one Of the hoist holes on the third
floor and was instantly killed. Mr.. Bannon had
been on the third floor some time, overlooking
the work, and it is thought that
he was on his way to the elevator to return to
the ground when he made Q misstep and vent
through the hole, falling distance of about
sixty feet to the cellar
He struck on the top of his head Although
the fall was SO great he was but slightly dis
figured. 1t is possible that his neck was
broken by the fall
Physicians were summoned at once and the
unfortunate man was hurried off to the Emer-
gency Hospital. where DR.. Atkinson pronounced
life extinct The coroner was notified and the
body was held at the hospital.
Deceased was twenty-eight years old and
was a son OF Hugh Bannon Of Maryland.
His home was near Point of Rocks, about
forty miles from this city, on the Metro

ONO railroad The sad intelligence
was sent to tine widow this afternoon and after
the coroner's investigation the body will be sent
to the former home Of deceased for interment.

Recalled by the Rockwell Case.

The case of Noyes VS.. Rockwell, decided in
the House yesterday, in which democratic
majority reversed tho finding Of the demo-
cratic committee Of elections. recalls the case
OF Butler VS.. Lehman in the Thirty-seventh
Congress. The case came from Philadelphia.
Butler, the contestant, as stated to a star re-
porter by a member of the Thirty-seventh
congress, was republican and contested on
the ground that liz votes cast for him had by
several mistakes of several officers been
counted and returned for Lehman, demo-
GRAFT, who received the governors certificate
and was sworn. Under q law of Pennsylvania a
recount Of the ballots could be had, and was,
when it was claimed that in three boxes the
For Lehman it was contended that the boxes
had been tempered with and that ballots had
been substituted for an equal number of
Lehman votes, SO that to retain the sitting
member would be to convict Butler, who was
a boss, OF fraud and forgery. The Thirty
seventh Congress was the first one Of the war;
The democrats in the House had thirty one
members. There we're two democrats on the
committee OF elections, of which Dawes
was chairman. A republican with these
made minority report IN favor of Lehman
Grow was Speaker. He had placed two of the

A Simple Problem.

The value of baking powder is in the leaven.
ing gas it contains. If one brand is stronger
than another, it is worth more per pound
because it goes further in baking.
Royal Baking Powder has been determined
by the official chemical tests to be 81 per cent
greater in leavening strength than any other
brand Its actual value to the consumer is
therefore Fl per cent greater than the others
This is equal to 1917 cents per pound
If, therefore, other powders are forced upon
you, see that the charge for them is 1917 cents
per pound less than the price of the Royal

A Suggestion to the Charitable.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star.
Travelling through your city of late found
family in distress. They came from near
Pittsburg, Pa, and were en- route to Virginia.
seeking a milder climate for the husband and
father, who was in delicate health. They were
poor very poor. The man was taken suddenly
very ill, suffering great pain, and as entered
the station met q picture of agony. Painting
for breath and unable scarcely to move, yet
amid his groans he was striving to comfort his
despairing, weeping wife and three little ones.
The throng passed by on the other side, -
but l felt that some "good Samari-
tam should extend relief. When sought
to do this others became interested, until
the hitherto neglected and lonely ones
were SO surrounded that the struggling
man was nearly suffocated. On learning the
circumstances. with much dificulty, l sue
ceeded in getting the sick man taken to hos
pltal, but no place seemed available for the
mother and children in their affection and
poverty. They had been travelling all night,
and were tired and worn out as well as i'll.
At last Mr.. L. S. Emery OF the Associated
Charities. whose Office is at TOT @ street north
west, after hearing my story quickly responded
that he would see that they were taken care OF.
He took them to his Office and then provided
for them until the patient had 30 far recov-
cred from what proved TO be pneumonia that
they resumed their journey, united, grateful
family. / tell this tale to draw a few infer
ences therefrom. Cannot some way be de-
vised to meet such cases in your national city2
The railroad employees at the station told me
that they are often confronted with them, and
that they have taken strangers to their own
homes or provided for them elsewhere to the
extent OF their ability. and even beyond II in
some cases. The hospital was open aud ready
for the sick man, but no place was free for his
family in sore need OF n few days shelter, Who
will consider this and seek to provide for such
or similar needs in future? Again shonId NO

any thing can be done to alleviate? Said by
stander, That is what call Christian" when
he saw it undertaken in this instance.

open our eyes to see, our hearts to feel and

THE LAW AND THE POOR.

An1 LAW AND IHE POOR.
A petition to which about 800 signatures
have been attached was presented to the Dis
trict Commissioners today urging the repeal of
the law requiring real estate bonds to be given
III cases OF appeal of civil cases. The petition
sets forth that the law is oppressive to the poor
who are obliged to pay bondsmen. The petit
uon also asks legislation providing for the ap-
poihtment ofsome officer to see that in cases Of
sales under deeds of trust money due is paid
to the person whose property is sold. 1t Is
alleged that the poor colored people lose
much because there is no one to to see that
jurtice is done them. The petition was pre-
