Inc woman had been given a seat nv her
counsel. John Moss, as is the custom when
prisoners have an attorney to plead for
them. and Officer Owens was giving his
testimony. He had stated the circum-
stances under which he came to arrest
the woman. when she suddenly jumped to
her feet and called the officer a string Of
names, and exclaimed: You dirty whelp
don't you say that or I'll murder YOU
Suiting the action to the threat the w.
man picked up a heavy arm chair and
Threw II at the witness with as much force
as she could command. The chair struck
the side OF the witness stand and fell TO
the floor
by this time that portion of the court
room which is reserved for the LAWYERS
was in scene of wild confusion No ono

OFFICER BLANDFoRD DEAD.
Veteran Detailed at the District
Building PASSES Away.


Policeman George W. Blandford. sixty
six years old, and a member of the police
force for the past twenty-six years died
about / 80 O'Clock this morning at his
home, No. S24 1 street, in East Washing
ton. During the past few months he was
detailed as doorkeeper at the District
building, and six days ago he had to go off
duty because of an attack of what APP
peared to be pneumonia. Because of his
advanced age he grew worse instead of
better, and this morning death ended his
sufrerings.
The deceased was a native of Maryland.
but had spent the greater part of his life
in this city. He leaves a widow and three
children.
Officer Blandford was the fourth police
man who died while on the District buii1-
ing detail during the past few weeks. Po-
licemap Clements was first, and Serst.
Pierce and Policeman Salke!d soon fol-
lowed. 1t is thought by the officers that
the weather condirions to which the men
on this detail are exposed affected the
health of each.
The funeral of Officer Blandford will
take place Wednesday, aud detail of
officers to attend the funeral will be made
tomorrow. Officer Maddox of the fifth
precinct has been detailed to take the
place of the deceased officer.

EMORY GROVE CAMP.
Annual Services Of the A. NJ. e.
Church Association.
Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
WARRINGTON GROVE Md

WASHINGTON GROVE, Md,
August %, 1897.
This has been most successful day for
the Emory Grove Camp Meeting Associa-
ton in point of numbers and financial
gain. Church representatives from many
sections of the county were present, as
were also many visitors from Washington.
The association is composed of colored
people. who have purchased a large tract
of land here, covered with fine grove of
forest trees, and they annually hold a two
weeks camp, under the auspices of the A.
NJ. F.. Church. The Rev. w. Clare, presid-
ing elder of the Washington district, is in
charge, assisted by the Rev. T. o. Carol.
Rev. ]. w. Meredith, Rev. j. H. Bailey and
Rev. Geo. Wilson. ]. A. w. Rich of
Jamestown is the president of the associa-
ton, and Frank T. Duvall of Gaithersburg
the vice president.
The morning experience meeting was led
by the Rev. ]. w. Meredith, and the halle
lujah and amen responses were many and
earnest from the large number of partici-
pants.
At II o'clock the Rev. Geo. Wilson
preached, his text being the eighteenth
verse of the third chapter of Daniel. At B
o. clock the Rev. Moses Leake, formerly of
Laytonsville preached to very large au-
dience, many visitors from Washington
arriving by train.
The evening meeting had attractions to
keep nearly the whole congregation of the
day present, and a typical southern camp
meeting of colored people was witnessed.
Good order prevailed.
The tents no houses or cottages being al
lowed on the grounds, are arranged around
the circle, and many families are staying
for the full period of two weeks. The dis
tricts OF Jamestown, Evansville, Pools
Vile. Clarksburg, Damascus, Laytonsville
and Olney were represented today, forming
an audience which is estimated to have
aggregated 1,600 people.

In the back room of local saloon, one
evening recently, more than dozen men
were seated at tables enjoying crab feast
when a little colored man, well dressed, en-
tered and took a seat at the rear table.
I'm take about four crabs he told the
waiter, and a minute later the order was
filled. This the only colored guest was
ready to enjoy. from the anticipation Of
which he had derived much pleasure.
Then he ordered beer. but before serv-
Ing, the beverage the waiter pulled I'm front
of the colored guest a tall screen which hid
him from the other guests
See here, waiter" said the customer,
''why did you put this screen hereg'
WELL" answered the waiter, you are SO
good-looking that 1 didn't want the other
gentlemen to see you.
An instant later the seat at the rear
table was vacant and the screen was re-
turned to the corner.
