EXCURSIONS.

With tomorrows excursions, the season
Of 1897 at River View closes, and the
steamer Samuel ]. Pentz will cease her
trips to that very pleasant resort. 1t was
the intention of Capt Randall to close with
the Labor day excursion, but the Alexan-
dria Light Infantry wanted to give anoth-
er excursion this season, so today was
given them, and then the children asked
for another day, and it was determined to
close with family day trips tomorrow. This
will be the last opportunity that parents
will have to give the little folks a days
outing at this pleasant resort, where they
are made perfectly at home and are allow
ed to run about and make as much noise as
they please. The water chute, the fun-pro-
Queer: the flying horses, the donkeys and
the goats will be ready, as usual, to afford
much pleasure to the young ones, and there
will be music and dancing all day. The
steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10
am, and 6:45 Pm, and on the two first
trips tickets will be but ten cents to ALL
big as well as little. In the evening, on the
6:45 trip, the Independent Order of Me-
chanics will give a moonlight trip to the
View, and are looking for. a big crowd.
This will be the second excursion the In
dependent Order Of Mechanics has given
to River View this season. The closing
day at the View promises to be one of the
largest in point of attendance that that
ever popular resort has had this year.

by his wife and child, called on Sanitary

to place. being much in need of comfort

Jennings story was that he had been
living in Pittsburg, but had been out of
work for several weeks and had been una
bile to pay his rent. He has friends and
relatives in New York, and he knew if he
could reach there he could get a tenn
porary job at least, and could then assist
his wife and boy. When they got ready to
leave Pittsburg, he said. they had money
enough to pay their railroad fare as far
as Cumberland, and when they left the
train at the Maryland town they were vir-
tually penniless.
York, but he disiked very much the idea
of asking for help, and concluded that he
would tramp in this direction, hoping to
get assistance of some kind upon his ar
rival here. He would willingly have made
tine trip alone. he said, and then sent
money to his wife and child when he had
succeeded in getting work. but his wife
would not permit him to leave her. and to-
gether they walked the railroad ties all the
way from Cumberland to Brunswick.
When they reached the village where the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad shops are
located, they found in one of the railroad
men a true friend, who surrendered to
them pass he had gotten for his own
use, and this brought Jennings and his
family as far as Rockville, where they
left the train. again stranded: Instead Of
country and walked to Chevy Chase.
Reaching the railroad junction there Jen-
rings managed to get a job for which he
was paid - cents With this money he
paid his familys fare here on the electric
road, and late in the afternoon the trio
reached the first precinct police station.
They were fed and made comfortable for
the night, and today Sanitary Officer

BOARD WILL INVESTIGATE
Fixing the Responsibility for the Columbia
Newport News Collision.
Superintendent Callahan is Confident
5 That His Officers VIII BE
Cleared.

The collision, yesterday morning, be-
tween the steamers Newport News of the
Washington and Norfolk line and the Co
lumbia of the Washington and Alexandria
Ferry Company is soon to be Investigated
by the steamboat inspectors. The damaged
steamer Columbia is still at her wharf in
Alexandria, and it is stated that she will
be towed to Philadelphia the latter part of
the week and overhauled.
Until the meeting of the steamboat in
spectors, the legal responsibility for the ac-
cident cannot be fixed. At present the Off
GERS of the two companies, as well as the
men who were on the boats at the time of
the accident, are all protesting they were
blameIess
Superintendent John Callahan of the Nor
1olk and Washington line, when seen by a
Star reporter this morning, said that until
the accident had been passed upon by the
steamboat inspectors and the underwriters,
ne did not care to say much about it.
Will say, however" he remarked
that our boat is insured against loss of
any kind, so that our company will not
suffer by the damage.
Ihe Newport News was on it's usual
course from Alexandria to Shepherds" he
added, land the accident happened when
the latter point was reached. There was no
log at Alexandria. and it was not until
shepherds was reached that the fog bank
Fog Signals Sounded.
"Then our captain did as any careful
captain would have done. He heard the
fog signal ahead, and also gave his fog
signal at the same time, bringing his boat
to standstill, as is required by law

Columbia's fog signal, and then 1t was

the captain of the other boat would do
likewise. He had been backing for more
than minute. which is ample time to stop
and was surprised when the Columbia
came under his bow
Superintendent Callahan said he had al
ways been careful to impress upon his
captains the necessity for stopping in fog
banks, and of not taking any risks what
ever. Capts. S. J. Geoghegan and j. F.
Posey, he said are experienced river men,
the former having served on the Choptank
line between Baltimore and the eastern
shore before coming here. The Washing

possible on its lines. and they are all men
of experience and care.
In conclusion, he said he felt certain
that when the matter shall be investigat ed
the officers of the steamer Newport News
will be exonerated.

THE ACADEMY.-The second attraction
of the season at the Academy of Music
last night was that goddess of gods, Miss
Katie Emmett, in the"Waifs of New York, -
that time-tried and fire tested old melo-
drama, and they most vociferously testified
to their approval of the object of their
alteration. There was a large attendance
all over the house, but the upper works
were packed, and all the surplus enthu-
siasm of Labor day had arisen to the sur
face there and dubbed over in most up
roarious and good natured fashion. In the
words of Daniel Webster, uttered in this
very town, by the way, and changed now
somewhat to fit: 1T is not necessary to
enter into any encomiums upon the waits
of New York; it needs none: there is stands
judge for yourselves" Very evidently the
audience did that last night, for surely the
waits never had more appreciative audi
ence. AS for the plays presentation, that
was done with all the mechanical effects

Emmett was quite in the spirit of the work
and the hearts of the people, and, of
course, did her work as only Katie EN-
