The entertainment given under the
auspices of the /. o. o. f. of the District
at Odd Fellows Hall last Tuesday night for
the benefit of the relief fund was success
fully repeated last evening. The audience
was somewhat smaller than on the previous
occasion. but none the less enthusiastic and
the program, which was carried out with
only some slight changes, was fully as en-
tertaning and well rendered. Mr.. VIM H.
Conley in Five Minutes of Humor'' pro-
vided laughter for young and old, and as the
butler in the farce, My Lord in Livery
was inexpressibly funny. In the latter the
honors were shared by Miss Grace Loyine
Winslow, Syble Amberly. Mr. Guy v
Collins, as the footman, cleverly aided Mr.
COnley to keep the audience in a good
humor, and Mr.. A. T. Seaman, as Lord
Thirlmere; Miss Gertrude Maud tombstone.
as Laura, and Miss Julia A. Seaman. as
Rose, were exceptionally good. In scene
from Macbeth Miss Seaman as Lady Mac
beth. with Mr.. Seaman as the Doctor and
Miss tombstone the Gentlewoman did
very creditable work. Prof j. F. Rueckert
and his two daughters rendered the musical
numbers on the program in pleasing man
Eer. Miss Eleanor e. Poole as Lady
Teazle, with Mr.. Conley as Sir Peter, de-
serves special mention for the excellence of
her work. The rest of the program was a
repetition of Tuesday night both as to
merit and numbers. The stage was well
managed by Mr.. Percy Leach.

For a youngster of eleven years the birth
day party given last night by the orsaniza-
ton known as the Corcoran Cadet Corps
was quite elaborate. 1t was very yuccess-
full, as WELL and today the little cnap Is
feeling very happy over the event 1t was
strictly stag party, each of the fifty
members of the company being privileged
to invite two guests so that there was a
merry and cCnyenial crowd ass einbled in
the rooms OF the company in the Mark ct
building. The neighborinS corps Kindly
loaned the use OF an adjoining room, which
connected with the other by means Of Told
ing doors, SO there was plenty OF pace Tor
the card playing and general aInuS1meutS
that occupied the earlier pare Ci the even
ing. stores both OF tact and fiction We're
related, under the general directiol Of the
master OF ceremonies, capt. T.. {. Edwards,
and when everyone had talked % prOpe:
state OF thirst and hunger, there was DIS
played a tempting table niled with dehC "a
cies. Stacks OF cake accompanied gallons
OF new decoction to which the name or
anniversary punch was given, and which
flowed freely enough to bespaak for IL a
growing and Il lasting fame.
The teaSting over, the floor was cleared
at one end OF the rooms ana the members
of the Capital Guitar and Banjo Gut en-
tertained the company FOR IN hour with
musical selections OF a high order Of excel
lence. Friends wae made and recruits
were promised for the company, which
made itself even more popular tnan ever
by its little gathering. Judging from the

ence OF this flourishing company there is III
store for it many another year Of prosperity
and increase. The Corcoran Cadets have
been a feature OF military Washington al

THE STANDPIPE DOWN.
Its Removal and the Grading of 10th
Street.

The standpipe that long dominated
the landscape on the northern side Of the
city, being conspicuous from points as far
distant as the White House. has at last
been demolished. the finishing touches In
the work of demolition being given this
week. A horse tackle was hitched to the
top OF the great iron mass and 1t was s1Ow
ly pulled over, two days being required to
bring it down. When balanced on one cor
Eer. with blocks holding it in position, and
on the point of falling, fire broke out
within block and the 800 negroes and
whites gathered about had hard work TO
choose between the two spectacles. But
when three fire engines had finally toiled up
the hill there was a general scamper for
the fire. The standpipe, when it finally fell.
did so with a mighty crash that could be
heard all over northern Washington.
Now that the last vestige has been finally
removed Contractor Gleason says he Will
continue the grading of the street nearly
as far north as Erie street, when the
ar cunt involved in his present contract
will be expended. This will leave but
short link of easy grading to reach the Co
lumbia road which. when widened to 100
feet, as now arranged for, will make a
handsome connection between the north
west part of the city and the drives on the
north. The heaviest cutting on 10th street,
which has been watched with great inter-
est as 1T progressed, is Immediately back
of ex-senator Henderson's mansion who,
on account of IL, found restraining wall
necessary around his premises, and a very
handsome one was built The cut at this
point is over "a feet.
Prospect street and Crescent street which
have SO long had no existence except en-
the maps, where they appeared as two
parallel. circular streets running west from
10th Just south of the standpipe have now
been cut through leaving high embank-
ments on each hand. Crescent was eXca-
waited at the expense of Drs. Sewers and
May, who own several lots on both sides
of the street. DR.. Sewers has nearly COM
pleted the work of bringing his high ground
on the north side of Crescent street down
to grade. AS soon as his job is finished
moval of 10000 yards of dirt from the south
mendous excavations on the top of the mill
have already worked marked change in
the appearance of the locality.
Two results are already manifest. Su-
perior street. SO long ravine leading from
10th street just north of the standpipe
southwest for a distance of two blocks,
bordered on the north side by the long row
of lots owned by the Blaine estate, has
been brought to grade, and along with 1t
the Blaine lots. Contractor Gleason says
he told Mrs. Blaine this work should not
cost her q cent as he would do it in men,
CRY of the friendship which he had for Mr..
Blaine. The second result alluded to is
the moving of the apex of the 18th street
hill north to near the intersection of Erie
street. At this apex the new Hancock
Circle has been located under the recent
act of Congress ordering its removal.

Special Policeman Charles r Dawes who
is known about the base ball ground, MS
Base Ball Charlie" was pat on trial In
Judge kimta.l'S court this morning charged
with being disorderly In lie Droit Park yes
terday. The trouble was all over q little
SNOWFALL that has melted away and become
4 part of the Potomac before now Some
ladies and gentlemen in the park wanted
to throw Some snowbalis. The special Of
Gceri had no objection to their throwing
them, but Policeman HANOVER dii make an
objection. and the two men, who wear police
badges had scme words. During the dis
pute the member of the regular force
knOcl.e ed the hat off Dawes head and il Was
also claimed that he struck the special off
Ger with his club. Officer Hanover claimed
that Charlie had used profane language and
SO he took him off to the police station
There the officer preferred against the
special the additional charge of concealed
weapons, although he was on his beat al
the time. On this charge it was necessary
ance. which made additional trouble for the
friends of the special officer This his friends
did and Dawes was released.
In court this morning ii came out in the
testimony that there had been an unpleus-
ant meeting between the regular and the
special and the latter thought that the for
mer was trying to get even. Policeman
Hanover called a colored man 10 corrobo-

on the other side.
There were two witnesses on either side
and Mr.. Darlington argued that If there
was any dOuot the special officer charged
should be given the benefit of it. He
argued that the word of the special was as
good as that of the member of the regular
force. If the court was rot satisfied with
the case Mr.. Darlington said he could get
a number of other witnesses. Mr. Car
rington denied that Dawes had given per-
mission to throw snow balls, and Officer
Hanover made mistake Judge Kimball
discoursed upon the proof in the case, and
said the weight of proof, In his opinion
was with the prosecution. In consideration
of the trea tment received by the special he
said he would not make him pay fine
but would take his personal bonds
There was no charge of concealed weap-
Ons entered against the special officer but
Judge kimball told him that if he was
found off his beat with the weapon he
would be liable. A special officer, he said
had no right to carry a weapon when off

THE OYSTER SEASON.
Action of the Joint Committee From
Maryland and Virginia..


Maryland and Virginia.
The joint committee from the Maryland
and Virginia legislatures met yesterday in
this city in accordance with a joint reso-
luton adopted in both legislatures for the
purpose of securing a concurrent longing
and dredging season for the two states.
The committee decided to report to the two
state legislatures a law providing for be-
ginning the longing season on the LIST of
September. ending April %. and beginning
the dredging season on October Is. ending
March 10.
This agreement practically moves the
Maryland longing season up fifteen days,
as 1t now opens on the 18th of September.
1t also lengthens the season five days, as
the present laws in Maryland forbid tong
ing after the 10th of April. The present
oeOdging laws of both states provide for
exactly the same season, beginning October
18th and ending April 1st- The agreement
reached yesterday cuts off the last fifteen
days of this season in both states.
Senator Stubs of Virginia and Delegate
Legg of Maryland were appointed a COM
mittee to draw up joint resolution en-
bodying the results of the conference, to be
presented to the two legislatures. The
joint committee then adjourned.

Cuvillier II Wanted.

1t appears that Louis A. Cuyillier. who
has left the city, is wanted for crookedness.
Some time ago bill for $3.50 was sent by
Mr.. DuSan of Hancock. Md, to c. p. Gull
yer for collection in this city. Cuvillier re-
ceived the letter inclosing the bill and col
lected the amount. Mr. Dugan, hearing
nothing further, came to make INQUIRIES
and ascertained that the money had been
paid, and Cuvillier having left his card il
was easy to fix the responsibility, but not
so easy to arrest him. for when a warrant
for his arrest was issued he had flown.
Then another case of crookedness turned
up. This morning coiored woman was
at police headquarters complaining that
Cuvillier had taken her watch as security
for 81 for getting her son out OF Jail
