Inc season here is on the wane Signs of
regret are heard from all who have had
the good fortune to enjoy the pleasures of
tfls delightful resort. Regret, however, IS
modified somewhat by the knowledge that
the popular manager, Mr.. John Brown, will
next year again be in charge, with Capt.
Green as his right bower.
The last days have not, however, been
without their interesting features, and no
one has been lonesome. A large bowling
party took place recently, at which Capt.
Stlnemetz won first gentlemen's prize and
Mr. Jas. G. Traylor second. Miss Morgan
took the ladies first and Miss Liebschutz
second.

she had been the guest Of Capt. and Mrs.

was bare chance for her recovery, but
she sank again and died early this morn
ing. Mrs. Boteler was formerly Miss Ad-
die Shock. granddaughter of Commodore
Shock of the navy, and the same popularity
she gained as a girl she retained as wo-
man. She was gifted with qualities of the
NEST charming character, and bright,
sunny and lovable disposition, that attract
ed all who met her. She married Mr.. VIII
T. Boteler, secretary of the Franklin Fire
insurance Company, several years ago.

day sent to Jail for four months by Judge
Kimball for creating a disturbance last
night in the house of Ella Buchanan, col
ored, on 1874 street northwest. and for car
rying pistol concealed on his person.
The testimony showed that shortly after
midnight of Thursday Burr entered the
house referred to in an intoxicated cond-
ton, and, drawing a pistol, threatened to
shoot under certain stated conditions. AS
a sequence, all the inmates became fright
ened and ran out in the street, where they
were found by Officer Cowne. The latter
arrested Burr, who fought the policeman

disorderly after his arrival there.
