COLUMBIAN ALUMNI.
To Have n Big Public Meeting-The
Election of DIR. Whitman.

The executive committee of the Alumni
Association of the Columbian University
has issued call for meeting of the alum
nj at the university next Wednesday even
irg. Great interest has been aroused among
the alumni by the announcement of the
election Of Rev. B. L. Whitman, D. D., as
president Of the university. His fame as a
scholar and educator, his success as presi-
dent of Colby University, his youth and
energy appeal strongly to the alumni, and
they propose to show their rejoicing at the
selection and their intention of cooperating
with him, heartily and earnestly, by hold
ing public meeting. to which every officer
and graduate of the university is invited
Rev. s. H. Greene, d. D., acting presi-
dent of the university; Postmaster General
Wilson, graduate of the collegiate and
law departments, and Justice Harlan of
the law school faculty will be among the
speakers.
Many of the alumni have made subscrip-
tons to the guarantee fund of $4,000
year for five years, started by the liberal
contributions of the trustees, and it is OK
pected that many additions to it will be
made before the week Is over. Many of
the alumni are young in their professions
and not rich in material resources, but they
are looking forward to the meeting of We'd
nesday as a time when they can show by
their presence at least that they are ready
to do every thing in their power for their
alma mater.

BURIED AT ARLINGTON.
Funeral Services Over the Remains
of RObt. G. Cunnin CHAM.

The funeral of Robt. G. Cunningham,
whose tragic death was mentioned In The
Star last Friday, took place at his late
residence, in Alexandria county, Va, about
two miles from this city, yesterday after
noon. There was a large attendance of
neighbors and friends, including delega-
tons from George U. Morris Post. No. 10.

Of both of which organizations the deceased
was a member The services at the house
were conducted by Rev. D. L. Rathbun.

ston and at their conclusion the funeral
cortege proceeded to Arlington cemetery.
where interment was made; the beautiful
G. A. r. burial ceremony being conducted
by Past Commander B. T. Janney and
Chaplain G. W. Fletcher of Morris Post.
When this was completed the trumpeter
at Fort Myer sounded taps, and the last
honors to a brave soldier were paid. The
pallbearers were Messrs. Rudolph Ullmer,
E. H. Harner, Robt. Z. Duvall and A. b.
Grunwell of Morris Post and ]: H. Gil
more and Zach E: Thomas of the Union
Soldiers Alliance. The casket was draped
with a beautiful flag. and was covered
with handsome floral tributes.
Mr.. Cunningham was born in Scotland.
educated at Manchester, England, and
came to this country in 1861, at the be-
ginning of the late civil war. He immedi-
ately enlisted for the Union cause in COM
pany x Of the Tammany, N. Y, regiment,
but was soon transferred TO PennSyl-
vania cavalry regiment and appointed
first sergeant. He was regarded as fear
less young soldier, participating in many
battles among them being Balls Bluff, Get
tysburg Antietam and Winchester. He
had three horses killed under him during
his service, and at the battle of Gettys-
burg received a severe wound, but con-
tinued his duties until the close of the
war, when he was appointed a clerk in the
Treasury Department. at salary of 81. 400
per year, which place he held until Oc-
tober of last year, when the division in
which he worked was abolished. and he
was given a temporary place at $1,000 per
year. which was subsequently reduced to
$50. This seemed to nortify and discour-
age him. He was making strenuous effort
to be reiustated, and two weeks ago pass
ed civil service examination after months
of worry and hard study. When. Friday
last, he was notified that he would be re-
quired to pass another examination, he
believed this was done to humiliate him,
and it is thought by his friends to have
temporarily unbalanced his mind and caus-
ed him to commit the act of self destruc-
ton. He was a graduate at law of the
Columbian University of this city, was an
eloquent persuasive and extremely witty
public speaker, and was much beloved by
all who knew him.
He leaves a widow and seven children.
His brothers, Messrs. John ]. and William
Cunningham, and his nephew, Mr.. Fred
erick Cunningham of Montreal, Canada,
were In attendance at his funeral

STREET OBSTRUCTION CASES.

They Present New Possibilities that
Arouse Mr.. PuSh to Fresh Activity.
Merchants who are appearing as de-
PENDANTS in the so-called obstruction cases
are having an easy but expensive time in
getting their cases delayed. and the last
case in which the Criminal Court granted
a delay by issuing a writ of certiorari was
one in which Thomas A. Hall. Louisiana
avenue merchant, figured. His case had
been tried before Judge Kimball and
fine of s25 imposed. He was given until
last Friday to remove the alleged obstruc-
ton. but when the time for doing this ar
rived Mr.. Hall saw that nearly every one
of his neighbors had managed to get their
time extended and he objected to having
to quit business on the sidewalk So he
decided to make an effort at the same pas
time. He did so through his counsel. and
Notwithstanding the fact that his case had
been passed upon by court Of alleged
concurrent jurisdiction, Judge Bradley of
the Criminal Court directed that the writ
issue. This was done on Friday, the day
Mr. Hall was to have vacated the side
walk, and notice Of the issuance of the
writ was received at the Police Court to-
DAY.
AS the matter now stands a merchant
against whom a charge of occupying the
public space for private purposes is brought
can get an indefinite poStponement of his
case by paying S11 for a writ of certiorari
and thereby have the use of the public
space such an additional length of time.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh today filed a
number of additional cases against some
lay in this way, and tomorrow he will file
new set of charges. When the charges
are filed tomorrow Judge Kimball, it is
thought, may reconsider his decision made
last week and conclude to hear the cases
without any further pcstponement, unless
they are certioraried each day.

A STEAM VALVE BURST,
TWO Persons Killed and Many Hurt
in Steamboat Race.

BY the explosion of a steam valve in the
whaleback steamer Christopher Columbus,
off Waukeegan, on Lake Michigan, on Sat-
urday' night, two men were killed and thir-
teen persons were dangerously or painfully
injured.
1t was the home run of the whaleback on
the early summer excursion to Milwaukee.
About $50 souls were aboard Half a mile
in the boats wake plowed the rival excur-
sion steamer, the Virginia, which, clearing
the harbor some fifteen minutes later had
on every pound of steam possible to over
take her competitor. On the outward trip
the Virginia had not only held the advant-
age. but doubled it, and the crew of the
whaleback were determined that they would
not be passed. The Virginia was gaining
As the sun went down the boats pushed
ahead neck and neck. not more than 300
yards apart. The decks and promenades of
both steamers were blackened with pas
sengers. The Virginia surged ahead
Word passed from the engine room that
the Christopher Columbus was resolved
upon little fun. The rival boat should be
allowed to gain half a mile on the whale
back, 1t was said, and then steam was to
be run up and the situa ton would be
changed before reaching Chicago harbor.
scores went below to watch the machin-
cry. Those watching the gauge said that
the pressure was exceeding the limit to
which the boilers were adjusted. From I'D
pounds pressure the steam had run up to
III pounds and was still rising.
Suddenly there was a shock of explosion.
The steam valve in a siX-inch connecting
pipe over the starboard battery of three
boilers had blown out. Down in the hold
six iiremen and a Waterman found them
selves developed in a scaldng mist so
thick one could not see his hand. When
they tried to make the ladder they damned
against the heated oven doors. In their
frenzy they fell over one another. The
steam crowded everywhere. 1t was instant
ly in every compartment. In the main
saloon $50 persons seated about or reclin-
ing were suddenly seized with panic. 1t
was increased by all lights going out.
Then the steam reached the passengers.
A score or more of women who had in
hailed the steam swooDed. The scalded
men were brought up to the cabin as soon
as possible. and several surgeons who were
on board did all possible to alleviate their
suferings. For three hours the whaleback
lay getting up steam for resumng the
journey. 1t was found that one battery of
three boilers had been made useless.

N. Mack. The lunch was prepared by the
girls of the school, and was set In one Of
the rooms of the Towers building. All the

a marvel of beauty and completeness, COM
prising a menu of the most appetzng char
acter-fried spring chicken, sandwiches,
Salads cakes, fruit, ices. lemonade and iced
tea Choice and beautiful flowers adorned
the table and were distributed about the
room. 1t was an elegant affair, and was
given as a slight testimonial of the esteem
and affection in which Miss Mack is held
by her pupils. After the departure Of the
teachers the young people had a general
good time on their own account.

Chicago. H.. May 2I.-Cattle receipts
are on the Increase and tho arrivals
today We're about the same IN num-
Der as n year ago. The demand OPEN
ed rather good for the better class OF
cattle at steady prices but other
Kinds moved Off slow at concessions.
Exporters were not doing much. Other
buyers took hold, freely, however.
ana after trade had got fairly under
way sales were brisk at strong prices
for all except common droves. Sales
were on a basis of 81 00I6. 90 for com
mon to extra heavy beef steers, with
the bulk OF transactions at 81 0OI5 G5
for native steers. Butchers and cnn-
ners' stun was In moderate demand
at weak prices. Good feeding cattle
were again In fair demand and prices
remained steady. About 1000 Texas
cattle were received, tho offerings en-
bracing very few superior lots. There
was a good demand and prices were
steady.
Hogs-Farmers are rushing their
hogs to market. as feed Is relatively
higher than hogs The hogs received
last week were choice, but those mar
keted today were on an average much
poorer than usual. Ordinarily such n
big run with 5000 left over from last
week added to the offerings would
have been followed by Aharp decline,
but today's shrinkage IN prices was
barely &c. and trade on local and
shipping account was uncommonIy
animate. Most OF the supply was sold
from first hands. a few choice hogs
brought Si.G5, but most of the sales
were at s4,sOdli 60 for heavy, anu nt
81 2bai 90 for light and mixed, with
the bulk OF hogs selling at A40d4 90.
Sheep-The recent Improvement in
prices has been largely lost, values
averaging loo to lie lower today, rs
tho receipts were not far from double
the number marketed last Monday. The
quality averaged poorer and there
were a good many Texans which sold
slowly at ss,bon4 80. shorn sheep sold
chiefly ot 3S.Q00t.75. and ahorn lambs
at 81 0005 40, trade being duh.
