EXCURSIONS,

No resort on the lower Potomac has been
so popular as Colonial Beach this season.
Since the mines have been removed the
travel has been unprecedented The Beach
offers the best salt water bathing to be
found anywhere without the long and an
noying railroad trip necessary to reach as
good bathing as found at the Beach. The
weekday trips are ideal ones for ladies and
children. Hundreds of tired business men
of Washington also take the trip every
few days, returning home refreshed and in
better health after few hours of good
fresh air. The rains have freshened up
the lawns and trees at the Beach and it is
looking it's best. The large hotel is open
and plenty of good accommodations are
offered those who wish to remain few
days. Splendid attractions are offered at
the pavilion, there being a change Of pro-
gram every afternoon and night. The Jane
Moseley leaves street wharf every day
except Monday at 8 o'clock am. and Sat
urdays $50 pm. The meals furnished on
board are still kept up to their high stand
are to be found in the dining room. You
can easily get rid of that tired feeling by
taking g trip to Colonial Beach on the
steamer Jane Moseley.
The steamer Samuel j. Pentz will make
her regular trips to River View tomorrow
and those who attend will be able to see
the last of the balloon ascensienS and par
achute descents made by Miss Retta Dam
zeli, the pretty young lady member Of the
Grace Shannon Balloon Company whose
high flight into the heavens on Sunday last
was most wonderful Tomorrow's ascen-
| sion will be the last of the season, and In
| order to make up for some Of the disap-
| pointment caused by her being unable to
make any of the ascensions advertised this
| week in consequence of the stormy weather.
! Miss Danzeii will try to surpass all her
| former records and will go just as high as
| 1t Is possible for the balloon to take her
| before cutting the parachute loose and de-
scending to the earth again. The ascension
will be well worth seeing and will doubtless
attract large throng. Three trips will be
| made by the steamer Pentz, at IL am, 2:45
| and 6:15 pm, and the return trips will be
made at /. 8, go and $50 pm. The usual
Sunday afternoon concerts Of the River
| View orchestra Will take place, and the
| chute and other attractions at the View
| will be running as usual. On Wednesday
| next the twelfth annual tournament and
| ball will take place at River View.
| The Red. White and Blue Club will give
| another excursion to Bay Ridge next Tues
| day. At the last excursion over 1000 peo-
! pie went, and the railroad had to trans
! port them in two sections. No more pleas g
| ant resort is to be found anywhere In this
vicinity than Bay Ridge, and one cannot
| put In more agreeable day than to make
| the trip there. The club giving the excur-
| sion Tuesday will endeavor to male =,
| pleasant for all who go.

terday. A resident near Bath snd o streets
secured q ton and a half Of coal from q
local dealer. The coal was dumped just
before the big shower in the forenoon. The
heavy rain washed the coal away. coming
down S4th street and covering the tracks OF
the metropolitan railroad. Some OF the
coal went down the catch basins in the vi
entity and other pieces were found two and
three squares away. When the coal was
collected but little over half the original
quantity was recovered.

this morning, but trains are managing to
get passengers to and from the city this
afternoon by changing passengers at the
breaks.
Police Reports.
The reports of the several police lieuten-
ants made to police headquarters this
morning show something OF the effects of
the storm. While the high water about the
vicinity of the market did some little dam
age, the lieutenants' reports show that the
county and South Washington suffered
more than other sections. In the county
nearly all the roads were badly washed
ana number of dangerous holes left. Sew
erai washouts about the small county
bridges caused damage and workmen were
sent out to make the repairs. In several
places small landslides were reported and
the sidewalks were covered with mud
This is also true of many places in the
city where there is unimproved property
In such cases the owners of the property
were notified to clean the sidewalks. Many
hooded sewers were complained of by the
police, and number of broken trees were
also reported.

Water-LoGEed.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star.
That is the present condition Of the long.
suffering Camp Alger, and its outputs.
Who can help lamenting that the occupants
of soaked hospital tents at Dunn Loring are
not safely housed in our city hospitals
that is, SO far as they could be accommo-
dated2 The Washington hospitals have not
been less hospttable toward the boys in blue
than those of New York. Still very few
have been sent to fill the roomy wards. One
hospital has at present only three or four
officers, and as many privates, while eager
to receive scores. After that forced march
to Manassas in weather that, for COM
pressed hsat and humidity, taxed the en-
duraEce of people who could fan in the
shade, it was not strange that fifty-three
sick men should be stretched undsr a hur-
riedly spread hospital tent. OF one full
company of western regiment, six died
on that march. such was their condition in
starting, and such was the strain of the
march.
AS to the division bound for Thorough
fare Gap. they were wet to the skin days
ago. and their condition now is sad to i'm
agine. B.
