CLAN-NA-GAEL AT BAY RIDGE.
Five Thousand Excursionists Enjoy
the Breezcs That Blow There.

the Breezes That Blow There.
Five thousand excursionists gathered at
Bay Ridge from Washington, Baltimore,
and Wilmington yesterday on the occasion
of the first reunion of the patriotic Irish
societies of the District of Columbia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
The outing was given under the aus
pices of the Clan Gael, and was largely
attended by the American Union of
this city. Twenty-four carloads of excur-
sionists were contributed by Washington,
and the quotas furnished by other cities
was proportionately large. the greatest
number coming from Baltimore, on ac-
count of the many ways in which the re-
sort can be reached from that city The
steamer Columbia conveyed five hundred
persons TO the reunion on its morning
trip, and in the afternoon swelled the
crowd by the addition of 200 passengers.
Two hundred Baltimoreans travelled to
the place by rail over the Baltimore and
Ohio and Baltimore and Annapolis Short
Line railways. EXcursionists from Will
mington and Philadelphia travelled by rail
| through Baltimore and Annapolis.
The train which left the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad station in this city at $3.50
O'Clock, and which consisted of nine
landed the first crowds at Bay Ridge.
| Shortly afterward the steamer Columbia
and subsequent railroad trains arrived
with many more jolly excursionists. 1t
| was not long before the lunch payilions
and benches among the trees in the grove
| north of the hotel were stormed with fam
! lily parties and those possessing lunch bas-
kets.
About a hundred Washingtonians en-

ately after their arrival at the grounds,
and took a pleasant sail up the Chesa-
peake Bay distance of about sixty miles
| to the quaint harbor of Baltimore. From
the steamer excellent views were obtained
OF the mammoth steel works at Sparrows'
! Point, just within the entrance to the
| Patapsco River, the old Lazaretto light
| house, below Baltimore, historic Fort Nc
! Henry, at the eastern extremity of Locust
! Point, and the shipping of Baltimore har-
| Dor, where all sorts of queer craft were
visible, from dull colored, clumsy looking
fishing vessels to huge, rust-coverei ocean
steamers, engaged in the freight trade be-
tween Baltimore and foreign ports. The
| Columbia took on a large crowd at the
| Light Street wharf, in Baltimore, and, re-
turning, arrived at Bay Ridge about .
o'clock, which allowed those passengers
| from Washington several hours fbr bath
| ing and other pleasures before their return
| home.
The Naval Academy Band. Wright's
Band, and Winters Band, were at the re-
sort. The latter rendered n delightful mu-
sical programme on the band stand in front
of the main pavilion. One of the CHIEF
sources of pleasure for many during the
day, especially to the local contingent, was
the privilege of grabbing on the pier. A
large number also spent much time fish
ing, and long strings were hooked at slack
water. The day was, on the whole, very
enjoyably spent, and was unmarried by q
single unpleasant incident.

of the boat, and Frank Donaldson, whose
home is in Roslyn, went to the assistance
of Bowers. but could do nothing for him.
They then notified the police of the Sew
enth precinct, who had the body sent to
the morgue. Coroner Carr was notified.
Bowers was employed on the canal boat
Mule. which had just returned from a
| pleasure trip to Great Falls with a party
of men. When the Aqueduct Bridge was
reached an attempt was made to effect a
landing, and as the boat was swinging to
one side Bowers tried to prevent it strik-
| ing against the bank. In his efforts to
check 1t he grasped the live electric wire.
His right hand was found TO be badly
| burned.

MIDNIeHT SAFE ROBBERY.
The Mercbants' Parcel Delivery Conn
pany Loses 1921 in Cash.


Henry E. Bittinger. manager of the Mer-
chants Parcel Delivery Company, at 929
and s31 D Street northwest, reported 10 eht
police early yesterday morning that the
safe in the office of the company had been
robbed some time after u o'clock Satur-
day night. Mr.. Blttinger had been notified
of the robbery by George Keys, watch
man, employed at the place. who made
the discovery. The amount supposed 10
have been taken was estimated after a
hasty examination, to be between $50 and
500. Since then a closer examination has
revealed that the loss is much larger, be-
ing estimated at 1921. Mr.. Bittinger in
formed the police that he suspected an
employe OF the company of the theft. The
police have not been able to locate the sus-
pect He has been in the employ of the
company for about two years and was con-
sidered trustworthy. He had access to
the safe in the Office and was familiar with
the methods of the company. 1t was his
custom TO be at work early and to remain
there until late Frequently he returned
to the Office at night TO straighten out busi-
ness left unfinished during the day. He
was at work during Saturday and did
not leave the Office until late. Watch
man Keys was busy at about II o'clock
Saturday night when the suspect entered
the Office and went behind the desk to the
safe. The watchman supposed the clerk
had returned to attend TO matters neg
lected during the day. He appeared to
have been drinking and remained but a
short time. After he had gone Keys no
ticed a paper on the floor which he had
previously placed in the safe. He dis
covered the loss and Immediately tele-
phoned to Mr.. Bittinger acquainting him
with the facts
When Mr. Bittinger arrived he made a
hasty examination OF the safe deciding
/ that the loss had not been very great, and
reported the matter to Sergeant Sprinkle
I at No / police station. The sergeant i'm
mediately communicated with Police Head
/ quarters and had the news of the robbery
/ sent TO all precincts with instructions to
/ apprehend the man suspected.
Bicycle Policemen Austin and Warren

of Herbert L. Morgan, 222 Thirteen and

anything concerning her husband except
that he was not at home. The police re-
/ mained at the house watching IL carefully
/ with the assistance Of Policemen Nc
| Grath and Schraeder, who appeared on the
scene Later IL was decided to secure a

TO the homes of two justices Of the peace

IMPORTANT POINTS INVOLVED
Railway Company Sued for De-
stroying n MINIS nusiness.

sfrOytuR II MANS business
The hearing in the suit of George W. Of
futt against the Capital Traction Company,
which was begun in Circuit Court No. . n
week ago, will be resumed this morning.
More than usual interest is being taken
in the result of this case and the proceed
ings are being watched closely by mem
bers of the bar.
The plaintiff Offutt conducted a wholesale
and retail grocery business in NJ Street
Just west of Thirty second Street, and he
alleges that his business was ruined by
reason of the switching and shifting of
the cars of the defendant company imme-
diateIy in front of his place of business.
He stated in his complaint that the stop
ping of the cars at that place virtually
blocked the entrance to his stores and re-
suited in his customers going to other
places to make their purchases. When the
trial was begun on Monday last several
witnesses, former patrons Of Offutt, testi-
fled that on account of obstruction by cars
OF the Capital Traction Company they
ceased TO make their weekly and monthly
purchases from the plaintiff
During the taking Of testimony the ques-
tions arose as to the authority of the rail-
way company to construct the sdings in
NJ Street west of Thirty second and as to
the responsibility of the Capital Traction
Company for the laying of the alleged OBJ
structions in the way of sidings and
switchings.
The matter was argued by Messrs. Henry
e. Davis and A. S. Worthington for the
plaintiff and r. Ross Perry for the de-
fendant company. the greater part OF
Wednesday, Thursday. and Friday being
taken up in discussing the law on these
questions.
Justice Hagner, who is presiding at the
hearing, took the matter under adyisement
on Friday and announced his decision on
Saturday afternoon, deciding both points
in favor Of the plaintiff.
II is expected that the trial will take up
the time of the court for the remainder OF
! the term.

WHY 1T WILL BE SMALL YIELD.
Mr. johnson Says the Present Indi-
Gates Crop of $500, 900 Bales.

A. S. Johnson of Meridian, Miss, says
in his circular of cotton: The following
reasons, we think, fully demonstrate the
correctness of the stand we have always
taken concerning this crop and we ven
ture the opinion that each reason advanced
will be conceded with by every practical
farmer and business man of the cotton
states who has given the crop a thought
or investigation:
A decreased acreage.
No preparations of land before planting.
Less use of fertilizers.
A struggling start resulting from differ
ent paintings, varying from two to eight
weeks.
Use of inferior seed, results of which are
now being plainly evidenced by the small
fruitage of the plant
Following all the above adverse condi-
tons, in themselves a sufficiency to cause
a light yield, the crop has been Overtakeu
by a severe drought during August, far
reaching in its disastrous sweep, more 50
than that which overlook the crop in 1896.
The month of September is always an inn
portant one for maturing crop, and this
month in 1896 added so largely to the final
Weld of that year that we found it neces,
lar of October, 1896, using the following
words:
1.-THE month of September has, beyond
a doubt, proven a very satisfactory and
favorable one to the growing plant; so
much 50 that it called forth from all sec
lions a nearly unanimous opinion that the
plant was green and still growing. This
fact was even admitted by the weekly
government reports. We are so well sat
isfied. and the opinion is so wen fixed in
our minds, that q fair top crop has been
made that we unhesitating.y state we now
believe the crop cannot possibly be under
eight and three-quarter millions"
This season September has done moth
ing for the crop except to force open pre-
maturely a large percentage of.it
We will await the frost period before
making final estimate of yield, but we
do not hesitate to say that at the moment
indications point to a yield near nine and
one-half millions.
