STOPPED BY INJUNCTION.
Counting of Ballots Cast by Stock
holders EOrlilden.

The ballots cast in the election yes
terday for managers of the Mutual Fire
Insurance Company Of the District were
not counted, owing to restraining order
issued by Judge Barnard.
The restraining order was sued out by
William H. Church, Timothy W. Murphy.
George T. bearing. George c. Walker, r.
H Johnson, Franklin Barrett and L. Pierce
Boteer.
1t was issued against Samuel II. Walker,

the ballots and demanded that the boxes
be sealed up and brought into court. The
order is made returnable January q, and
the case will come up before Justice Bar

terday's meeting of the policy holders In
excluding all proxies dated prior to Jan
uary l, 1900, and prohibiting the voting of
proxies by officers and employees of the
company was illegal. as sufficient notice
had not been given. with the result that
many policy holders were disqualified.

WORK OF RUDE BOYS.
Mrs. Carlin and Her Children Sub-
iected to indi2nities.

Mrs. j. w. Carlin, who spent number of
years in China with her husband, where
they went as Baptist missionaries, made a
complaint last night of the treatment she
received at the hands of party of boys at
18th and B streets northeast. She was on
her way from her home. No. 140S B street
northeast. to the Metropolitan Baptist
Church. with her five children. Her chill
dren range from four to twelve years Of
age, and. like their parents. they have mas
tered the Chinese language. The eldest
child. Ruth, is a handsome and attractive
girl, who, in addition to talking the Chinese
language, is able to write it. She is fond of
writing and had contributed largely to the
columns of several Christian papers.
Last night Mrs. Carlin and the children,
attired in Chinese costume, attracted con-
siderable attention the streets. Their
costumes were handsome and costly. and
much more attractive than those worn by
local Cinnamon. When the 18th and B
street corner was reached the young boys
who were standing there jeered at Mrs.
boys went so far to strike the colored
nurse. who had charge of the youngest Of
the five Children. Fortunately, nobody was
severely hurt. The assault occasioned a de-
lay which disappointed the audience at the
church.
Tonight the little American-Chinese chill
dren will receive their friends at their
home.

The Baltimore symphony Orchestra.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
What pity and disgrace it is that Wash
ington, the nations capital, does not con-
tain a music hall or an opera house such
as is found in every European capital, and
that it does not make an effort to support
five symphony concerts during the social
season. The Baltimore Symphony Orches-
ira in itself is a good organization, being
composed of seventy artists, Mr.. Ross
Jungnickel the excellent conductor the
youngest in America), possessing striking
personality. Calm, dignified and magnetic;
his beat Is admirably authoritative, clear.
and flexible, but there is not a trace of
exaggeration or affectatiOn In 1t. He is clear
ly' absorbed in the task at hand, bringing
all his powers to ii. but he does not lind
1t necessary to indicate his zeal by violent
physical contortions. The soloists engaged
for the series are the finest that the world
can produce. Petschnikoff, the Russian vio-
lnist, and who is booked to appear at the
next concert, should it materaliZe, has had
overcrowded houses wherever he has APP
peared, he being the highest priced violinist
who has been brought to this country. The
Boston Symphony Orchestra has practically
abandoned Washington, and for this reason
the Baltimore Symphony should occupy its
place. and not be allowed to disappear from
our midst for lack of proper support. Mr..
Jungnickel desires to continue the concerts,
but he will not allow himself to be '.ur-
wept, unhonored and unsung." as was the
case with Theodore Thomas in New York
a few years ago. He demands recognition
now for honest effort and ability. and is
to be applauded for his clear vision. so I
appeal TO the music-lovers of Washington
and the former patrons OF the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra to come forward and gem
crously subscribe for the remaining four
concerts, and thus enable the promised Sc
ries to be given without a financial loss.
A SUBSCRIBER TO THE CONCERTS.

GHOULS SUMMARILY SHOT.
Estimated That Fifty of These Fiends
Were Killed.

HOUSTON, Tex. September ia re-
porter has telegraphed from La Porte the
story of the robbery and mutilation of the
dead in Galveston and the death Of the Of
tenders.
The ghouls are holding an orgie over the
dead. The majority of these men were
negroes, but there were also whites who
took part In the desecration. Some of them
were natives and some had been allowed
to go over from the mainland under the
guise of relief work. Not only did they
rob the dead, but they mutilated .odies in
order to secure their ghoulish booty. A
party of ten negroes were returning from
a looting expedition They had stripped
corpses of all valuables, and the pockets
of some of the lOoters We're fairly bulging
out with fingers of the dead which had
been cut off because they were SO swollen
the rings could not be removed
The people are greatly incensed at this
desecration and mutilation of the dead, and
the looters have been shot down whenever
caught 1t has been determined that all
found in the act of robblng the dead snail
be summarily shot.
During the robbing Of the dead not only
were fingers cut off but ears were stripped
from the head in order to secure jewels OF
value. A few government troops have
been assisting In patroing the city. Prl-
vate citizens have also endeavored to pre-
vent the robbng Of the dead. and on sew
eral occasions have killed the offenders.
Singly and In twos and threes the Offenders
were thus shot down until the total OF
those thus executed exceeds fully fifty.
