EXCURSIONS.

The Washington coterie at Fortress Mon
roe has been unusually large this season
Both the Hygeia and Chamberln's new
hotel have quite a colony of residents of
this city, and this pleasant weather will
doubtless induce many more to enjoy an
outing at this famous old winter resort.
Much of the popularity of Fortress Monroe
is due to the excellent service and the con-
venient schedule of the Norfolk and Wash
ington Steamboat Company's steamers.
These steamers form the only direct route
between this city and Fortress Monroe,
Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News.
They are all fitted up in elegant style, their
state rooms being especially spacious and
handsomely furnished. One of these steam
ers leaves 18th street wharf every evening
at $50 o'clock.
Now that the weather has gotten settled,
and Sunday promises to be a bright, pleas
ant day, those who have not paid visit to
Arlington lately can enjoy part of the day
at the beautiful national cemetery. The
fare for the round trip on the electric trains
of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon railway will again be reduced on
the coming Sunday, tickets being good for
the one day only. Electric trains leave the
station at 1312 street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. every forty-fve minutes These cleo
trio trains leave for Mount Vernon, the
home and tomb of Washington, every hour
from 10 a m. to pm
Strangers in the city will find the electric
cars of the Washington, Arlington and
Falls Church Railway Company a very
pleasant means of reaching Arlington.
These cars are the only direct route to the
beautiful national cemetery. They can be
reached by both the F street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue cars. The electric cars leave
the Aqueduct bridge about every half hour
for Arlington, Fort Myer, Falls Church and
intermediate points.

REPORT FiNGRABLY.
Approval of Hill for Road Through
Rock Creek Park.

A favorable report was made today by
th9 District Commissioners to the chair
men of the two District committees in
Congress on the bill providing for road
way from Brightwood avenue across Rock
Creek Park.
The Commissioners state in their report
that the northern corner of the District
has no east and west road running across
it, md that there is no way for people to
pass from one side of the park to the
other. north of Military road. This lack of
road facilities, the Commissioners think, is
a serious inconvenience to the public gem
orally, and is believed by them to be
business disadvantage to the inhabitants
of this portion Of the District, and also of
the reighboring portions of Maryland
Therefore they ara of the opinion that the
construction of the road named in the bill
will be of great public benefit to the people
OF the District in general as well a S to the
people in this portion of the District and
in adjacent parts of Maryland in particu-
lar.

OVER 4 POKER GAME.
Actress May Camp Charges Actor Sim
Williams With Assault.

May Camp, one of the members Of the
company playing this week at Kernan's
Theater, appeared at the Police Court this
morning with her left eye badly bruised
and blackened and an ugly red mark across
her forehead. She came to tell Judge Scott
how Sim Williams another member of the
company, had disfgured her, as described
in an assault he committed upon her in the
Hotel Lawrence Wednesday night, after
the show was over.
Sim, who was arrested yesterday evening
on warrant sworn out by May, had put
up s. at the first precinct station house
and when the case was called he failed to
appear. This forfeiture of collateral did
not meet Mays ideas of just retribution, so
she employed Lawyer Sillers in an endavor
to have her alleged assaiant brought to the
court 50 the judge could assess more ade-
quate punishment. An attachment was ac-
cordingly issued for Williams and placed in
Detective Hartigans hands for service, and
the chances are strong that the defendant
vii be present IN person tomorrow morn
ing.
The alleged assault was the result, it is
alleged, of a poker game which was in
progress in q room at the Hotel Lawrence
Wednesday night. May and Sim We're two
of the players, and another actress and
two other men made up the game. 1t is
alleged that May played in bad luck. and
owed Williams 40 cents, another player 80
cents and still another S1.1J. She remarked,
jocularly. ii is Gained, that she wouldn't
pay Williams, whercupon she charges that
he fouly abused her and then struck her
in the eye and knocked her down. When
she got up, she declares, he knocked her
down again
She was in tears at the Police Court this
morning, but all the water in all the
lachrymal glands in the universe, it is de-
clared, could not have washed away the
big purp.ish black spot around and under
her left eye. Somebody who saw it said
that Sharkey couldn't have made a bigger
or blacker orb with a straight shoot from
the. shoulder

The would-be suicide is only seventeen
