MRS. DENNIS RALLYING.
Still Critically Ill, but Possesses
Wonderful Vitality.

The condition Of Mrs. Ada Gilbert Den
mis- showed little improvement yesterday.
and last night the patient was reported
to be about the same as she has been for
several days past. Yesterday Mrs. Den
mis- took little nourishment, which
served to sustain her from further attacks
of weakness. which are now seemingly
most dreaded by her physicians.
DR.. Wade II. Atkinson is not ready to
relinquish hope for her recovery. He sim
ply states that Mrs. Dennis is in pre-
carious condition, but that she may rally,
because OF her wonderful vitality. So
far Mrs. Dennis has borne the strain Of
her wounds well and only the paralysis,
which is quite marked gives rise to fears
for the worst.
The police, it is said, still cling to the
theory that Samuel Presley, the printer
who committed suicide several weeks ago
in an adjoining house to that of Mrs. Dem
mis-, may possibly have had something TO
do with the murderous assault. II is ad-
mitted, however, that no evidence of any
kind has been found to verify this belief.

The rescue of Hamilton Jones, the man
who was assigned to set off the blast in

When the big explosion occurred Jones

knocks Down Young Man.

Knocks Down Young Mnn.
Mel.in c. Jewett, a young man who
says he is an attorney, was knocked down
in the street last night by pretty girl,
aged nineteen years, to whom Jewett is
said to have addressed insulting words.
The incident occurred at Pennsylvania
Avenue and Seventh Street. When Jewett
appeared at No. l station in charge OF
Policeman Jones he was much the worse
for bruises and cuts about the head and
face
The version of the affair given by the
police, as having come from the girl. is
that Jewett stood on the corner and
smiled broadly as she passed by. Miss
Lillian Brown, upon whom Jewett, ii is
charged, thus pressed his attentions. paid
no heed TO him at first, until spoken to,
as she claims. in an insulting manner.
Then she was quite near him, and she
suddenly stretched forth her right arm,
struck squarely from the shoulder, and
Jewett went down before the blow. He
struck the pavement with thud and
when he arose his face was bloody and
his hair matted. Miss Brown stood for a
moment IS she viewed her fallen foe, and
was aboL. to move on. when Pollceman
Jones arrived to quell the disturbance
Jones took Jewett in charge and MISS
Brown agreed to go to the station. where
a charge of disorderly conduct was made
against the man. Miss Brown SAID she
lived near Twelfth and 6 Streets north
west. She was summoned TO appear IN
court as a witness.

TWO FOR GOLDEN EAGLES.
Snengerbund Landed Last Bowling
Game by Fourteen Pins.


An interesting set of games in the Dis
trict League series was played last night
upon the Golden Eagles alleys. and re-
suited in the winning of two games by
the home team; the Saengerbund taking
the third as a consolation for their jour-
ney.
The first game came handily to the
Eagles, the visitors failing TO reach the
500 mark. The second was landed on a
margin of twenty-nine pins. while the
visitors won the last by fourteen pins.
To Laue belongs the credit for winning
their game on his double. The bowling
was of the steady sort all the way
through. Brown, OF the Eagles led his
team and the enemy on his average OF
1871, with Ludwig. of the same team,
close second, with 176.
