THE sAENaERBuND's CARNIVAL.
An Enjoyable Evening Spent at the
Light Infantry ArmOry.

The Washington Saengerbund. with hum
dreds Of their friends. took possession Of
the Washington Light Infantry Armory
last evening and enjoyed themselves In
manner seldom equaled. The occasion was
the annual fools carnival celebration, a
custom with the leading German organfza-
lions. The hall was gaily decorated and
brilliantly lighted, and at one end was
platform, on which were seated Messrs.
John Waldmann, William Waldecker, Will
lam Berens, A. Fors, Rudolph Schneider,
Earnest Kubel. Paul Havenstein. John j..
Fisher, Leo Stiefel, Louis Faber and Fritz
Altrup. The Saengerbund orchestra was
located to the right of the committee, and
between the two, in imitation OF a sea Shell,
was a raised chancel. Several long tables
were located in the hall. These tables were
fully occupied, and a great number of per-
sons unable to obtain seats, were forced to
stand throughout the evening.
Mr.. Clandy, as chief fool of the carnival,
opened the exercises at O'Clock with a
witty speech. The opening scene was an
original travesty, entitled. THE Poets
Dream of the Modern Faust" in which
Miss Louise Donch, Miss Clara Donch, Miss
b. E. Lutz, Miss U. Rettig, Mr.. p. Aitrup,
Mr.. G. w. Spier and Mr.. w. J. Wolf par
ticipated. Next the program was the
receipt of greetings and fools caps from
several New York organizations. Mr.. Paul
Schultz was called upon for a speech after
which Mr.. Albert Lepper described the
manner in which he had found America.
MIR. Frank Rocker of the New York Arion
Society, made an amusing address, and
Prof. Max Kasil gave grotesque perform
ance the violin. Attractions were also
presented by Mr.. Victor Poesche and Mr..
Fred Altrup. Mr.. Simon Wolf was unable
to be present, but he sent the manuscript
of a political speech, which was read and
greatly enjoyed.
AT midnight the floor was cleared and the
young folks danced for several hours. The
scene was a unique one, as every dancer
was required to wear a grotesque FOOLS
cap. The affair was generally conceded to
be one of the most enjoyable of the many
ever held under the auspices of the Saen-
gerbund,

The Bill Dismissed.

Judge Hagner has dismissed the suit in
stituted several months ago by the Wash
ington Homeopathic Society against the
National Homeopathic Medical College. to
restrain the establishment of the college
and to prevent it from comforting diplomas.
Some weeks ago Judge Hagner dismissed
the original bill upon the ground that 1t
failed to charge any specific wrongdoins.
Leave was thereupon given the complain
ants to amend the original bill. which was
done. and both bills were yesterday dis
missed by the court.

The Anti-saIoOn League.

At a meeting of the executive committee
of the Anti-Saloon League held yesterday
afternoon Mr.. w. Fl. Pennell announced his
acceptance of the Craftsmanship of the COM
rnittee on mass meeting. The list of chair
men is now completed. Owing to the ses-
sion of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. to be held on Sunday next, the
league will not arrange for meeting that
day. but will probably hold gathering the
following Sunday. The meetings are held
at Intervals during the year.
An effort has been made to secure the at
tendance of DIR. Parkhurst at one of these
meetings. but the noted reformer, In re-
cent communication to the treasurer of the
league, stated that his health and engage
ments will not permit him to leave New
York for many months to come. If he does
visit Washington. however, he has pro-
missed that the league shall have first claim
upOn him.

ARRESTED FOR COMMUNICATING.
A Young Maryland Farmer Captured
by the Officers.


John Hoopengardner, young farmer
residing near Hancock Nd, on the c. and
o. canal, who for some time has been sus-
pected of counterfeiting, was on Sunday
night "swooped' down upon while at his
home by United States Agent Griffith Of
Pittsburg and Detective Fisher of Hagers-
town. They knocked at the Hoopengardner
farm house and the boys mother answered.
While they were plying the old lady with
questions they heard noise at the upper
window. Suspecting that their presence
had been discovered and their business
too, and that the man wanted was attempt
ing to escape, they rushed around to the
back of the house. There they saw the
man just rushing off in the darkness with
only his night clothes on. He was yelled
at to stop, but he went on, in spite OF bare
feet, linen clothes, snow and freezing co!u
a ball went from one of the officers pis-
toll when they found that no attention was
paid to their commands. 1t struck the
fleeing fellow the calf of the leg, but
he went On. After an exciting chase re
eluded the officers.
Later he returned to his home and was
caught.
A search of the house and outbuildings
sclosed in the smoke house a plaster-of-
paris mold for making nickels.
1t is said the prisoner has flooded his
section with the bogus nickels made

Snow In the Streets.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
May I ask the question through your
columns IL 1t would be any more than sim
pie Justice to ask of the street car rail-
road companies and the Commissioners of
the District to clear away at least foot
path, through the establishments of snow
or the streets opposite each stopping
place for the cars that ladies and passen-
gers generally may enter and leave the
cars without wadng an unusual depth
through the slush and snow? We poor
mortals are compelled to clean away the
sncw and ice from the entire sidewalks in
front of our houses within few hours
after the snow falls. w. G. MCDOWELL.

Right of Way Through the White
House Grounds.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
VIII you allow me space in your columns
to state a grievance which many people
are enduring and have endured for some
time? In all former administrations re-
publican and democratic alike, the right of
way across the grounds Of the Presidential
Mansion has been freely accorded. The
gates through the lower portion of the
grounds have never been closed against
the public until a year or so ago. In the
morning, from o'clock until g. they are
open, to permit the government clerks to
pass through, but at o'clock, when the
need is equally great, they are hermet1cal-
ly sealed. This causes many clerk, tired
from his or her days work, to make quite
detour in order to reach home. This
morning the gates were open, between
and . but the walk from the gates near
the treasury to those near the Department
of State were deep in snow three-quarters
of the way, and one was compelled TO
wade ankle-deep and more through the
snow. Why should the rights of the clerks
be so curtailed? The White House is not
a private residence nor are It's grounds
private property. Free access is had over
other government grounds, why not here?
No one asks or desires to wander about in
the grounds, but the departmental clerks
do ask that they should not be put to the
personal inconvenience, extra journeying
and loss of time which they now suffer.

JAPAN,s GREAT STORM.
over y Thousand Lives Lost Through
Hurricane and Flood.

over = Thousand Lives Lost Through
Hurricane and Flood.
SAN FRANoIsoo Aug. 17.-Reports have
been received here to the effect that Japan
had been visited by terrible storm on
the oath and 26th of July. The hurricane
swept across Kiusha, passed along the
shores of the island sea, crossed over the
central districts of the mainland and
emerged into the Pacific ocean.
Its track was everywhere marked by
great loss of life and destruction of prop
erty, and as the catastrophe was followed
by heavy rainstorm, foundations added
their devastating effects to the havoc
wrought by the wind. 1t is calculated
that over thousand people wers killed
or drowned.
Ujina, the town that served as a mill
tary basis during the recent war, felt the
full force of the tempest. The place was
completely swamped by the sea, and over
100 boats were smashed. Among these
boats were 100 belonging to the army
stores department. They were laden with
supplies destined for the use of the troops
in the Liao Tung peninsula.

Deadly Duel Between Doctors.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 17.-The report
of several shots in rapid succession was
heard to come from the office of DR.. H. R.
Holmes, in the Dekum building. The
tenants Of the building rushed in and
found the prostrate bodies of DIR. Holmes
and DR.. Robert Ausplund, each of whom
was holding smoking pistol in his hand,
and both badly wounded. Ausplund's s
wounds will undoubtedly result fatally.
1t is thought the duel was due to a criti-
cism of Holmes Of Ausplund's method of
treating patient in the Portland hospi-
tai when Ausplund called at Holmes Of
fee to make him retract

where his father found him wreathed in

search for the body.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-President Palma,
of the Cuban revolutionary headquarters,
said today that distinguished Cuban,
now In this city on secret mission, has
received letter dated Aug. 4, from his
brother, one Of the best known artists in
Cuba, describing an engagement that had
taken place on that day.
The letter in part snys; General Go
mez, with 800 Cubans, attacked convoy
of Spanish troops going from Guiamaro
to Port au Prince today. The Spaniards,
under Isaiz numbered 1,6O0, and were well
equipped. The fighting was hot and
heavy, and at one time the patriots al
most succeeded in capturing the convoy.
A Spanish major and another officer were
killed, also seventy soldiers. The Cuban
loss was trihing."
1t is reiterated every day at Cuban head
quarters that the lack of detailed news is
owing to the strict censorship exercised
by the Spanish authorities over the mail
and telegraph lines. President Palma and
his colleagues profess to believe, however,
thai the engagements that have so far
taken place have been mostly in favor of
their side. They point to the fact that
General Campos, in asking for more
troops, practically Endorses their belief

FINANCE AND TRADE
Leading Manufacturing Industries Especi-
ally Busy for the season.

Leading Manufacturing Industries Espeoi-
ally Busy for the season.
NEW YORK, Aug. Bradstreets re-
view OF trade says: Midsummer quiet is
more conspicuous than a week ago,
though less so in industrial than in COM
meroial lines. AS rule, leading manu-
featuring industries are exceptionally
busy for the season, and 1t is worth ad-
ding that the increase in output Of de-
mand and prices of iron and steel still
continues Gross and net railroad earn
ings returns for the first half Of the pres
ent year shows very satisfactory aRRre-
gate gains over last year, period of great
coal and railroad strikes and of financial
and industrial depression and derange-
ment. The best showings in net earnings
are made by the central western, eastern
and southwestern roads, while the only
decreases noted are in the granger and
southern roads.
r. G. Duns& Co.'s review says: It isa
belated season. A frost may set every
thing back The heavy business which
ought to have been done in May and June
was pushed into July, so that the mid
summer decline due in July comes in Au-
gust. With this in mind one is not sur
prised to find the shrinkage from July to
August rather more conspicuous than
usual.
The disappointing crop reports of last
Saturday, though evidently distrusted,
lessen confidence in regard to the future
OF trade, even while some spectators gain
by them.
Back of all doubts is the fact that the
industries are doing better than anybody
could have expected. Wages in the iron
and steel industry have been generally
| advanced and strikes are few. Minor
metals change little, though large sales
lift lake copper to i2A cents Textile inn
ports have been very heavy, and advances
in cotton goods to some extent check buy
ing, while Fall River spinners are organ
izing for restoration of wages paid before
the panic.
Failures for the week have been 1876 in
the United States, against 2l9 for the
same week last year, and 3S in Canada
against 40 last year.
