Steamer CliftOn's Passengers Had nm
Outing They did Not Bargain For.

Passengers on the steamer Clifton TO
Daufuskie Sunday spent the night and
nearly al Of yesterday on the boat and
on the island. The Clifton made a trip
to Daufuskle Sunday morning, carrying
about twenty-five passengers. who in
tended to remain on the island until the
last regular trip of the boat in the af-
ternoon, but the boat never came on the
return trip 20 the island in the afternoon
there were about sixty passengers on
board. They never reached the island.
In going through the new cut, at the en-
trance to Wrights river, the inland route
to Daufuskle, the Clifton ran aground on
a mud bank, where she stuck hard and
fast
The passengers were a jolly and agree
able set and made the best of the situa-
ton. They had a band Of music on board,
which livened up the occasion and never
once played Home Sweet Home" to make
the passengers regret that they had TAX
en- the trip. Serenading parties were or
ganized which afforded much pleasure and
amusement to the crowd, and when every
one was tired out, life preservers were
brought in requstion for pillows and
some really enjoyed a few hours sound

fered from hunger as there was plenty of

men not being able to report for duty

morning.
on Daufusde. the small party was en-
tertained at Mr.. Schwarzs hotel and did
not suffer much Inconvenience.
Early yesterday morning Capt. Strobhar
and MIR. Geo. G. Schwarz came to the city
from the Clifton and engaged the steam
er Louisa to go to the rescue of the belat-
ed passengers. The Louisa left the city
about 10 o clock and went direct to Dau-
fuskie, where the islanders were taken on
board. Then a trip was made to the Cnf-
ton for the passengers. They arrived at
the city at 3 o clock. With the exception
Of q few ladies and small children, the
crowd appeared to be in good spirits and
none the worse from the effects Of the
twenty-four hours accidental outing on
the salts.
The steamer Clifton arrived an hour af-
forwards, having hoated off the shoal on
the high tide. as soon as her passengers
disemharked.

MEETS WITH OPPOSITION.
Some Citizens Not Favorable
Changing Name Of TenleytOwn.

Some Of the citizens Of The northwestern
section of the District are opposed to any
change in the name Of Tenleytown village,
as proposed recently at meeting Of the
Northwest Suburban Citizens Association.
Inc matter was presented at the associa-
ton meeting, in the form Of a resolution
introduced by Mr.. c. c. Lancaster. propos-
Ing that the name be changed to Walnut
Hill, and, after discussion. was laid over
for further consideration at future meet
ing.
Mr.. William Britt is one Of the opponents
to the resolution. He occupies the residence
Formerly used by the Ten!eys, for whom
the village was named, and Mrs. Britt is
oirect descendant of that family. The Britt
iamuy hes in its possession a number of
documents which clearly establish that the
lame OF the town, given in honor of the
Ienley family, should not be Tennally-
town, as spelled by the official postal guide
ana Dy a number of corporations and in
dlviduals. Mr.. Britt says the name Tenally-
town was not adopted until lately For
over century the town has borne the
name, though originally it was known as
Ienieytown, and the name should be so
spelled now.
About thirty years ago, 1t is said, q vieor-
Gus effort was made to have the name of
the village changed to Mechanicsville, but
the proposition met with much opposition
and was finally defeated. The outcome of
the present movement is awaited with con-
siderable interest

TRADE IN MUSHROOMS.
The Market Affected by Recent Case
of POfaOninR.

me Market Affected by Recent Case
of POfsOnin4.
The mushroom business in the local
markets this week has not been a very
profitable one. Many epicures who have
heretofore patronized the growers of the
vegetable have declined to purchase owing
to the developments in the case of Count
de Vecchi and DR.. Kelly. This morning
the country people at the Center market,
anG especially the old colored women from
nearby places. had quantities of mush-
rooms for sale. but buyers lacked conf
dence and sales were consequently slow.
one dealer In the market who has hereto
lore handled large quantities of the fungi
told a Star reporter that he had quit the
business.
L shall never sell another mushroom"
he remarked. For some time 1 have had
my doubts about them, and 1 have deter
mHed never again to run the risk of SELL
ing them"
The dealer went with the reporter out on
the country line and showed some of the
KIND of toadstools which, he said. caused
the death of Col Vecchi. An elderly COL
ored woman had a large basket of them,
and with them were mushrooms of a more
common variety. While the dealer asserted
that most of the woman's stock was of the
poisonous variety, the latter declared she
knew what she was selling.
You certainly are mistaken" she said.
III they are poisonous, then l must be
dead, for I've been eating them for years,
and my customers all like them"
The old woman said she thought almost
everything of this kind that grows in the
open fields and meadows may be eaten with
perfect safety, but she would not trust
anything that grows in the woods.
During recent years the mushroom in
dustry has been engaged in by hundreds
of people in and about the city, and the
handlers of the cultivated stock found it
rather profitable until SO many took up the
business. Now they sell at less than half
the price they did a few years ago.
During the winter months the dealers de-
pend largely upon Pennsylvania growers
for supplies, although quite good many
are grown in cellars and green houses about
here. Local dealers have been in the habit
of handling the wild field mushrooms,
lut this weeks sad event has caused many
of them to deal in hot house stock exclu-

as satisfactory.
