EXCURSIONS.

The Samuel ]. Pentz will leave tomorrow
morning at 9:45 for Chapel Point, one Of the
most picturesque and beautiful spots on the
Potomac river. The fare for the round
trip is 25 cents. and preparations are being
made by Capt. Randall for one of the larg-
est crowds of the season. There will be
music and dancing on the boat and
grounds, and those who desire to do so
may fish to their hearts content 1t Is a
special trip, and everything possible has
been done 20 insure the comfort and pleas

opportunity to visit Chapel Point Return

10 pm.
John A. Rawlins Post No. 1. Department
of the Potomac. G. A. R., gave a most en-
joyable excursion to Marshall Hall on the
steamer Manchester last evening. A num-
Der of the veterans and their friends made
the trip and thoroughly enjoyed them
selves In the manner usual with G. "A. R
enterprises. Dancing was the chief ele-
ment in the enjoyment of the evening,
and Schroeder's Orchestra furnished the
required music in excellent style. The Fer
r1s wheel was kept in constant motion dur
ing the entire evening to accommodate the
many hundreds who wished to enjoy the
sensation of ascending to such a great
height, and all the attractions We're tested
to their full capacity. On the way home
stories were told and adventures recounted
by the veterans. and in this way the trip
up the river seemed very short indeed.
Photographed excursions these hard
times are especially attractive, and the
acme of such seems to have been reached
by Capt. Randall when he offers a thirty
three-hour excursion to Chapel Point fol-
81. which includes round-trip transporta-
ton on the Harry Randall. supper, lodging
and breakfast at Hotel Belleview. The
steamer leaves every Sunday. Tuesday and

Markey through blow on the head
Capt. Barton Haines gave the most i'm
portant testimony of the day. He was on
the boat when the fatal quarrel started.
1t originated through the telling of an old
trouble that occurred between the men in
1882. Leopold invited Marley to go ashore
to settle the quarrel with blows. Marley
declined. Then Leopold struck him while
sitting on deck and knocked him PROSTATE.
The boat was then drawn up to the tow
path and the men got Off. Marley was
struck blow when on shore which felled
him again. Then he was left. He lay for
long time unconscious. Some one finally
picked him up Death was too near, though.

The tragic death has excited great COM

MRS. FINDERS DEATH.
The Dentist Who Administered Gas
Exonerated by the Autopsy.

An autopsy was performed yesterday
afternoon by Coroner Hammett, assisted by
Drs. Sprigg and Mclaughlin. on the body
lists chair Monday afternoon just after
taking gas. The autopsy developed the
fact that Mrs. Pinder had been a sufferer
from fatty degeneration of the heart and
that heart disease was her real ailment
instead Of lung trouble, as her family had
supposed. This was the cause of death,
and the physicians who made the examina-
ton expressed surprise that she had lived
as long as she did, for any sudden excite
ment would probably have been enough to
hasten her end. The physicians who per-
formed the autopsy exonerated the den
fist from any suspicion Of responsibility in
the matter.
DR.. Frank Baker, professor Of anatomy in
Georgetown University, attended the au-
tcpsy at the request Of the family, who re-
whose judgment they could rely. DR..
Baker said to a Star reporter this MORN
ing that while the dentist felt greatly dis
tressed over the sad occurrence, the fam
lily are satisfied that he was absolutely free
from blame 1.-The condition Of her heart -
he said. was such that, in my opinion, she
could not have lived more than few
weeks longer anyhow. Probably the mere
excitement of going into dentists chair
was sufficient to stop her hearts action.
Nitrous oxide is considered an absolutely
safe anaesthetic. The mortality that en-
10000 cases and then 1t Is to be ascribed,
as IN the present instance, to some unsus-
pected organic trouble. The unfortunate
lady had taken the gas on several occasions
some years ago, and therefore assured the
dentist that she could do SO with safety
