letter from Mr.. E. C. Culp, chairman Of
the committee on ceremonies OF the st.
Louis worlds fair, asking If the Commits
sioners will use festival hall at the ex-
position in the celebration Of District Of

says:
II am in receipt of a letter from Mr..
Howard J. Rogers. director Of congresses.
asking me II you will use festival hall for
October 20. District of Columbia day. AS
1t is necessary for US to be able to assign
festival hall for special occasions. and as
many applications are now on file for 1t.

of your services upon that date. and
whether you desire to hold them In festival
hall, or whether It, Is your intention to
have a District of Columbia building and
have your exercises there. An early reply
will be greatly appreciated.
Mr.. Mcfarland has replied as follows:
In response to your favor Of August Is
permit me to say that inasmuch as there
Is no likelihood Of the District of Columbia
having a building of its own In which the
exercises Of District of Columbia day could
be- held, it is desirable that festival hall
should be reserved for those exercises on
October 20, 1904. Please communicate this
information to Mr.. H. J. Rogers, director
of congresses. 1t Is impossible at this
early day to- say what the exercises Of

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Samuel Riley the Victim Of Peculiar
Accident,

Samuel Riley of Tenleytown was the vic
tim of peculiar and severe accident Tues
day afternoon, while at work In the ice
house used in connection with the abattoir
of his brother, T. F. Riley. on Chesapeake
street northwest. Mr.. Riley is in very
critical condition, but 1t is not thought that
his injuries will prove fatal.
The ice house in which the accident oc-
Cured is one story high and Of depth
which provides for two basement stories.
Mr. Riley was at work on the ground floor.
In walking about he slipped and fell through
an open trap in the center of the room,
through which was dangling a large rope
with a four-pronged hook at the end. In
the fall his body turned completely over,
as if he were diving. His head narrowly
grazed the hook, but his right leg struck 1t
and his descent was broken. The hook
gouged its way through the muscles Of the
leg, and Mr. Riley was left dangling in mid
air. Fortunately. two friends OF his entered
the ice house just as Mr.. Riley fell and he
was quickly removed from the hook. but
not without considerable difficulty. A doc
tor was summoned and rendered medical
aid.
"A large force of about 200 laborers Is
working night and day in repairing the
break in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
about six miles distant from Dickerson's,
Md. AS a result of this break. which oc-
Cured the latter part of last week, naviga-
ton on the waterway has been at a stand
still Manager Nicholson of the canal COM
pany returned from the scene of the break
last evening. and expressed the opinion that
the huge hole will be repaired and traffic
resumed In a day or two.

that they asked their opponents to remove

This request, they claim. was denied, and.
notwithstanding, they defeated their op-
ponents in seven innings, when darkness
prevented further play.

STOP SELLING MILK
Retail Grocers Seriously Con-
templating the Step.
DELAYED FOR REPORT
ACTION TAKEN AT MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT.
Reasons Assigned for Disseminating
Custom Of Years - Address
by e. A. Stevens

The grocers of the District will. within
the next two weeks, take positive action on
the question as to whether or not they Will
continue the sale Of milk In their stores
The matter was brought up at the fort
nightly meeting Of the Retail Grocers As
ISOLATION last night, and the probability Is
that the decision will be made to discon-
tinue milk as part Of their stock. II this
action is taken it will naturally mean Sc
rious Inconvenience to the people OF the
District. IL it does not cut off the supply
OF some Of the consumers altogether.
The sale of milk by grocers has been
source of trouble to them for many months,
it is said. Since the adoption of the strtn-
gent regulations regarding the sale of milk.
the care Of the cans and the quality of the
milk to be offered for sale the grocers OF
the District have come into contact with
the law as often as has any other business
man or dealer. In many cases, 1t Is
claimed. the violations charged against the
groceryman have been technical In the ex-
IRENE.
tom Of the retail grocers and produce deal
ers of the city to carry a small stock OF
milk for the convenience OF their Gus
toners. There was little or no profit IN the
sale, they state. but, on the contrary, there
was often a loss. A groceryman pays
cents per quart for milk and sells 1t for =
cents. Owing to loss and shrinkage he sell
per gallon He is required to display
sign indicating the dairy from which the
milk was obtained, and from time to
time he submits to tests from the health
office authorities. If his milk does not
come I'D to the standard he is charged with
violation Of the law and brought into the
Police Court and fined. Many times the
grocer has been fined for selling milk that
was not up to the standard, when, he al
leges. he was not in the least to blame for
the quality Of the fluid In some cases the
impure or poor quality of milk has been
found in the bottles. from which the seals,
placed thereon by the dairymen. have not
been removed. Despite this fact, however,
the groceryman claims. he has been COM
PEELED to pay fine In the Police Court.

This Week. Railroad News.

Renewed interest has been mani
tested in this neighborhood within the
past few days in railroad matters.
Major J, A. Hunter was in town yes
terday, and later went to Harper
Ferry, where he has one or two op-
tons to close up for right-of-way Of
the new B. & 0. cutoff. He has in
structions toconclude the right-of-way
business finally along this line without
further delay.
On Monday the B. & o. people
caused papers to be served on Benja-
min Hartzsll, notifying him that on
the 10th of May application will be
made before the Circuit Court of JEFF
ferson county for the appointment of
commissioners to assess the damages
for right-of- way through his property
at S6epherdstown. Mr.. Hartzell is,
we believe, the only land owner with
whom the railroad has made no ar
rangement for right-of-way. The
road crosses his extensive truck gar
deps here, and if the switches and sid
ings that are supposed to be necessary
to make connections between the B.
& o. and the Norfolk & Western are
constructed through his property,
which will likely be the case, he will
practically have his gardens destroyed.
He named figure for his property
that the railroad refused to agree to,
and commissioners will be appointed.
When this matter is adjusted there
need be no further obstacle in the
way of beginning work, SO far as the
right-Of-way is concerned. It's again
rumored that active work will soon
begin on the road, and the indications
seem to point that way.

Bad Wreck on the Canal.

q thrilling anu IdldI u4sdslel ~
Cured at Little Slackwater, at Dam
No. 5, about six miles above Williams
port, last Friday morning, when the
Canal Towage Company's boat No. 6,
in charge Of Captain Joseph Kline, Of
| Cumberland, was blown by a fierce
gale over the dam.
Captain Kime's 8-year-old daugh-
ter, who was on the boat, was drowned,
and he was fatally injured. Clara,
another daughter of Captain Kline,
aged 10 years, had her left arm brok-
en- and received other serious injuries.
Harry Newklrk, who lives at the
lock, went down with the boat. He
was seriously cut and bruised and had
several teeth knocked out.
Five persons and two mules were
on the boat, and the wonder Is that all
were not killed. a terrible gale was
blowing. The boat was empty and
going toward Cumberland. Lock
Tender Daniel Sterling warned Cap
tain Kline of his danger, but he went
on. The boat passed through the
guard lock and around the pier and
went out into the river. The mule
team had crossed the lock to the tow
path on the right side Of the canal
above the lock, and as the boat was
going out into the river the wind
twisted the craft around. The tow
line snapped and the wind drove the
boat rapidly toward the dam, which
Is % feet high. Captain Kime's wife
and two children, who were on deck,
rushed for safety into the cabin.
Captain Kline, who was steering, stuck
to his post. The boat was turned
broadside about $50 yards from the
edge of the dam, over which plunged
near the middle OF the river. The
GOAT struck on Its side in water and
rocks. Captain K.me was thrown 10
feet in the air and landed on his side
