TOOK FERRY BOAT AWAY
Steamer George Washington lowed to
New York

The big sea-going tug Tormenter, Cap
tain Downey, belonging to the fleet of the
American Towing Company of Baltimore,
came into port yesterday, and after spend
ing an hour two here went down to
Alexandria and took the old ferry steamer
George Washington in tow for New
York. The trip will be made up the
coast. and the master of the tugs will pick
his weather in order to deliver the old
steamer in safety to the Fort Lee Ferry
Company, her owners.
The George Washington came here about
two years ago from New York to take the
place of the burned steamer Columbia on
the ferry route between this city and Alex
andrfa She ran upon the route until last
November, when she failed to pass her an
nual inspection required by the marine
regulations, and was laid up. Since that
time she has been lying on the ferry slip
at Alexandria, but the recent change in the
ownership of the ferry line made 1t neces-
sary for her owners to find another berth
for the old steamer. They finally concluded
to take her back to New York, and the
Tormenter was sent here for her
The Tormenter, while not as large as the
Savage, Piedmont and other tugs of the
Consolidation Coal Company, Is one of the
largest tugs engaged in general ocean
towing that has come up the Potomac for
several years. She Is ia feet long and
registers 226 gross tons. With good weather
II Is expected the tug will deliver the
George Washington in New York some
time tonight or tomorrow.

Fellows Hall.

The fair under the auspices of the Holy
Comforter Church opened in Odd Fellows
Hall last night with an address by Mr..
Charles Weller, who was introduced by
Father Mcguire.
The hall was taxed to it's full capacity
with pushing, jostling. good-natured
crowd. To judge from the opening attend
ance the fair promises to be a great sue
cess.
One of the most taking features is a
baby show in which half dozen
prominent men, dressed appropriately,
lmpersonated crying. laughing, nghtlnS
infants This feature will run for few
days only splendid lunch was pro-

said:

public-spifited citizens While 1t stands at
14th and East Capitol streets. in the east
ern end of Washington, 1t serves not only
it's Immediate parish but hundreds of poor
and neglected people from all parts of the
city. The Jail. the workhouse. the City
Hospital and the almshouse or Washing
ton Asylum are within its territory.
II am not myself Catholic, although
am often credited with belonging to that
church. The fact that l am not a Cath
Ole and the fact that l am interested in
the charities and in the needy poor peo-
pie of Washington are the two reasons
why have been invited to speak on this
occasion. l can say, with earnest SINGER
ity, that the charities and the charitable
workers of the national capital, the needy
and friendless people who require assist
ance the great commonwealth of all the
churches and all the Christian minded peo-
pie of every creed and no creed, are coz
daily interested in the success of Father
Mcguire of the st. Vincent de Paul So-
ciety and the Church of the Holy Com
forter. All wish you a great success

FIRE AT GERMANTOWN.
Straw Packing Establishment Burned
Entailing Loss of So, 900.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BOYD'S, Md, May 2, 1905.
Fire broke out at Germantown last night
ened the entire village, and only the
strong efforts of a hundred or more of its
citizens were several valuable buildings
saved from destruction. The fire caught
in the straw packing establishment of MI
John H. Gassaway, and soon the entire
building was enveloped in flames.
The flames were discovered by Agent
Santman Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road and Chief Engineer Browne of the
surveying corps They Immediately gave
the alarm and citizens responded to the
call. Hundreds of buckets were put in
use. The fire was thought to have been
of incendiary origin. A tramp had slept IN
the place a night previous and was seen
again last night around the building, ana
after 1t was in flames he was seen up the
road short distance from the fire.
The establishment was soon in ruins, ana
the store property of r. II. Humphrey near
by and that of p. E. Waters caught fire,
but the blaze was quickly extfnguished in
each. The stables, fencing, young ORCH
ard and a henhouse with several hundred
chickens near the building owned by Mr.
PUmphrey were destroyed, entailing per-
sonal loss to him of about $500. A horse
belonging to Mr.. Gassaway was saved by
a colored man, who was severely burned in
the attempt to release him.
The total loss entailed by the fire Will
reach at least $1,000. The establishment
had seven eight carload. of baled straw
ready for shipment.

WIRES MUSTCOME DOWN
FIGHT AGAINST KENILWoRTH
POOL ROOM.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. Md, May q
Messrs. T. N. Mohler and H. F. Harmon
of Tuxedo, this county, held conference
with the county commissioners this morn
ing in relation to the proposed pool room
at Kenilworth, and were assured by the
commissioners that the wires will have to
come down. This will mean the cutting
off of the only source from which the pro-
motors of the pool room can get their in
formation by wire, as there is no telephone
connection with Kenilworth at this time
The two members of the committee from
the Kenilworth association are jubilant
over the action of the county commission
ers. During the discussion of the case it
was made plain that the poles were erected
so placed as to be an obstruction to traffic.
After hearing the case the county COM
missioners passed an order directed to Mr..
Z. r. Magruder, who represents that dis
trict OF the county, in which he is eTnpOw
cred to remove the poles within forty-eight
hours, unless they are sooner removed by
those who are responsible for their cree
ton This is considered a great victory
for the Citizens Association, and will
cause a postponement of the opening of
the alleged gambling place unless some
legal action is attempted to restrain the
county commissioners from removing the
poles. Should such a move be attempted
IL Will be niece sSary for the hackers of the
game to show their hand. and this, 1t is
thought, will materially aid the residents
of Kenilworth and the surrounding coun-
try In the fight for law and order. The
members of the committee again received
the assurance that the pool room cannot
be conducted and keep within the pro-
visions of the law.
The finishing touches are being put on
the building by the carpenters and painters
and there is every indication that the back
ers of the game will be ready to proceed
with the business day after tomorrow un-
less trouble is experienced with the wires
A high fence has been built about the prop
erty and the patrons of the place are 20
be admitted through a gate, which is near
the terminus of the street car line How
1t is intended to operate the game and keep
within the terms of the law is a question
that has interested the people VINO are
making the fight against the room. Rumor
has 1t that the business is to be run by a
system of money orders. 1t is stated tn at
there is to be telegraph instrument in the
pool room and another in the house that
was vacated by Mr.. ClavelOuX One instru-
ment. it is said, is to be used in telegraph
ing the money direct to the race tracks and
the other will receive the results from the
tracks. Should this mode be adopted the
money bet on the horses could not possibly
leave the room and be sent to other juris-
dictions and returned in time to pay the
winners. Maryland attorneys say that such
a method of conducting business would be
no successful evasion of the law of the
state
