EXCURSIONS.

There will be an opportunity to again
take the sail to Marshall Hall and Indian
Head on the steamer Charles Manchester

Marshall Hall and trip the light fantastic,
while those who desire comfort and rest
proceed to Indian Head in the cool breezes
blowing up the Potomac. Indian Head trips
will be run every Thursday Friday and
Saturday evening during the balance of
the season. The steamer Charles Macal
ester leaves at 6:30 pm. In addition daily
trips are made to Marshall Hall at 10 I'M,

the Indian Head trip without extra charge.

pistol. with which he frightened off the

NAMING THE STREETS
QUESTION CONSIDERED BY CITI-
ZENs' ASSOCIATION.
Nomenclature Puzzling to Home Peo-
pie, but More So to Visitors
to the City.

At recent meeting Of the lexington
Citizens Association a report was submit
ted, among others, with reference to the
proposed change in the name Of 4th street
northeast, in particular, and the changes
In street nomenclature in general. After
reciting what had been done with respect
to 4th street, the report states that there
are important reasons why the names Of a
large number of the streets in Washington
should be changed.
Some time ago the lexington Citizens
Association by unanimous vote, appointed
committee to confer with the Commission
ers of the District and request them, under
general authority granted by Congress, to
change the name of 4th street northeast,
north of T street, to that of an avenue W; tn
euphonic designation.
The committee furnished the Commission
erS, verbally and in writing, with the rea-
sons for such request. These reasons SEEM
ed to impress the Commissioners as deserv-
ing favorable consideration.
The Importance of the subject" 1t Is
stated. will justify few words illustrat-
Ing by facts the peculiar working of the
system For Instance:
Somewhere near the center of the west
and east sides of the city the numbered
streets begin with two 1st streets running
directly north and south, but under the mu-
nlcipal method of naming streets they are
described as being northwest and south
west. With only one street North CapitoD
Intervening, there are two other LIST streets,
designated as northeast and southeast.
Next are two I'd streets, and a quarter of
a mile distant to the east, running In q
parallel direction, are two other I'd streets
In this manner the names of about all
streets having north and south direction
are duplicated four times. A Designate
of the streets Is attempted by attaching to
them letters indicating. by points of the
compass. the sections of the city where to
search for street containing a desired
address, as northwest. southwest, north
east and southeast but these cabalistic
Designate do not appear on the maps in
the guide books, and if they did they would
be of little use to strangers and visitors,
for not one in fifty would remember them
even If they had knowledge of their mean

SMITHHOLDING HISOWN
INJURED PoLIcEM6N IN FAVOR
ABLE CONDITION.
Physicians Believe He Was Wounded
by Wad From a Blank
Pistol Cartridge.

Policeman John Jacob Smith OF the
Georgetown precinct, who was shot In tho
stomach and so seriously wounded Monday
night by Samuel r. Young, a cavalryman
from Fort Myer, az stated in yesterdays
Star, is holding his own WELL His condi-
ton was regarded as favorable this morn
Ing and the doctors at the Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital are in doubt as to whether
a bullet penetrated his stomach or whether
the injury was inflicted with the wad from
a blank. cartridge.
According to statements of witnesses to
the police. the cavalryman was only six or
eight feet from the policeman when the
shot was fred, and, 1t Is argued, a bullet
from an army pistol would probably have
gone entirely through his body and would
also have punctured the intestines. When
the operation was performed 1t was found
that the intestines had not been punctured
and the wound In the wall OF the stomach
was such as might have been made by
something other than bullet. The intes-
tines, 1t Is stated, were bruised. On the
other hand 1t is stated that the wad from
a blank cartridge could hardly have made
SO severe a wound. While the question OF
what inflicted the wound Is in doubt, some
of the physicians are inclined to believe
that the cartridge discharged was blank
one.
Youngs statement yesterday was that he
had used blank cartridges, and his friends
are of the opinion that he thought he had
blanks in his pistol when he fred the shot
at the officer. As stated in yesterdays
Star. Young's plea was that he was intoxi-
Gated and did not realize what he was doing
when he fired the shot.
II was drunken than ever was BEFORE IN
my life" said Young in his confession. II
didn't really know what I had done until
after I had shot at the policeman. l then
realized that something had happened out
Of the ordinary; that would have to run
and go, get Off, something or the other"
Other Cavalrymen Not Arrested.
At Fort Myer Young is carried on the
rolls as being in the hands Of the civil au-
thorities. The other cavalrymen who were
present on the bridge at the time the
shooting occurred were not arrested, but
were merely told that they will be used MS
witnesses in the case. The blouse which
Young discarded was found In the canal
and search for the pistol has been made,
but without success. The police are anx-
ious to find the weapon, as there may be
some bullets in 1t which would tend to
show the character Of the one that was
fired by Young.
Young still insists that he has no recol-
is certain that he did not throw 1t away
and thinks he must have dropped 1t ac-
cidentally. He does remember the drinking
of quantities Of beer at different places.
This morning he was taken to police head
quarters, where he was measured and Pho
tographed for the gallery. Later he was
taken to the Police Court and committed
to jail without bond to await the result of
the policeman's wound.
