Special Correspo ldence of The Evening Star
WASHINGTON GROVE, August 90, 1899
Officers detailed from division headquar-
tiers of the Salvation Army, with assistance
from the Pittsburg contingent, are holding
a series of meetings at this place for the
ensuing eight days. The services of today
were conducted by Major Jenkins, the tab
ernacie not being of sufficient capacity to
hold the immense crowd in attendance
Friends of the army decorated the audi
forum with the army coors-red, yellow
and blue--and potted plants, over which
were displayed the national colors. The
familiar note of the bass drum is missed
at the meetings, and the lassie who beat it
also, she having, it was related, come to
grief in Philadelphia, together with some
other members of the army and was incar-
cerated IN Moyamcns!ng prison. The trou-
Bile originated in tent meeting, the police
during the progress of the meeting, arrest
ing Adjutant Annie Hopkins while she was
beating the drum for the closing song Of
the meeting. The action of the police
nearly caused a riot. it is said the laboring
people of the neighborhood rallying to the
defense of the army, and but for the siren
uous efforts of the latter's officers and
members bloodshed might have followed
Among those present on the grounds and
who were arrested in Philadelphia was
Lieutenant Adelaide Robbins. She refused
manned i'll Moyamensing prison
