-- dExcursiom Party Breaks Up Into btAl

Parties of Combatanta-Arrest-ad Parties Escape.

Three colored men came up the. river OILa steamboat last night and went to theEmergency Hospital for treatjnent for in-juries received during a row at the NotleY a

Hall excursion resort. The trio- included a

Robert Travers and Edward Ellia of 12=Madison street northwest and James Al- t,fred Ellis of 211 H street southwest. After a

being treated at the hospital they went tothe Madison street home. Travers received gthree cuts about the head and his hip was n

injured, It being stated that a knife andblackjack had been used on him. Toeayhe Is confined to his bed and it will prob- gably be several days before he will be ableto return to his work. Lewis was stabbed v

in the arm and Ellis received wounds abouthis face and arm. dThis was only one of several unpleasant 0

incidents at the river resort yesterday, andthere was also trouble aboard the boat.One man was shot and had to be taken tothe Alexandria Hospital, and a woman was Pcut In the throat, but not seriously hurt.Three arrests were made, but the victims isof the special deputy succeeded In getting taway and escaping trial. It was necessary ftfor two of them to tear the roof from theirtemporary place of confinement, and theysucceeded In partly demolishing the struc-ture. tThe first trouble was the one in which the b

man was shot. Four shots were fired, and, a

it is charged, the bullets from a weapon Inthe hands of Charles Dangerfield took ef- 5fect. He Is said to be a special policeman a

In this city, but was down the river only 6In the capacity of an excursionist. The a

trouble began about a woman, It is stated,and Dangerfield forgot he was In Mary-land and proceeded to discharge the dutiesof an officer.. J. K. Seben, colored, who wasa special deputy on duty at the resort, wasappealed to when the trouble started, butthe shots were fired before he could reach athe pavilion. tj

The Prisoners Escape. tiSeben arrested 'Dangerfield and placed d

him In the keeping of a regularly author- dized county officer with the request that the a

latter hold him. Seben turned about to get r

witnesses to the shooting and presentlyreturned to take charge of the prisoneronly to see him disappearing down the roadin a buggy. He gave chase, but Dangerfield Pcrossed the District line ahead of him andreached Congress Heights, where he board-ed an electric car and came to the city.But a few minuteis after the shooting

affair was over the second row started. pThis trouble, it Is stated, was caused bysome colored men from South Washington,who made a sectional affair of It. Theyobjected to Northwest Washington men en-

joying themselves, and, it Is charged, thir-teen of them arrayed themselves againqt 1ithree. Knives and blackjacks were brought tiInto play and for a short time It was feared Aa riot would ensue. to"Our friends are getting cut to death," f,

said a big colored woman to the deputy,"and I want you to save them."The three men had but little show, It Is

claimed, being greatly outnumbered andunarmed."I didn't even have a pin," Hawkins told

a Star reporter today. "All that we coulddo was to protect ourselves the best wecould."Deputy Seben made two arrests in th's

case and the prisoners were placed in a 0

room in the building In which there Is a tophotograph gallery. Then the deputy went aoff looking for more trouble, and he found tjIt~ There was a third row, and it was dur- ning this trouble that the woman's throatwas cut. The deputy said he was unable tto arrest the one who did the cutting and Vhe was unable to get the womian's name. iOn the way up the river last night, he dstated, there was some trouble on the boat, rbut he thought nobody was hurt. f,

Local Police Notified. t]a

Early this morning Seben called at theAnacostia police station and reported the r

trouble to the officer In charge. Later he t]called on Capt. Boardman at police head-

aquarters and related to him the stry of uyesterday's incidents at Notley Hall. He 11has also communicated with Sheriff Hard- e

Isty and will assist the latter in brin3ing dthe guilty parties to justice. He told a a

Star reporter that many of the men who "

were involved In the several affrays had 0

been drinking. Their condition, he said, bwas not due entirely to the liquor that wasbought at the Maryland resort, for manyof them took bottles down the river withthem and mixed that fluid with some of t.he estock purchased at the bar there.

COPIOUS FALL OF *AIN.he Becent Electrical 4torm Regarded

as Very UnisuaIFarmers In Virginia, 1%rth Carolina andDrtions of Maryland are rejoicing todayrer the rain of yesterday;, which mols-Ined the ground and their erops consider-bly and broke the drought that has con-nued for almost a month, and which al-'ost destroyed some of the prbas. In coun-7 districts in the 1an diate vicinity ofrashington .14 of an tnoi. of rain fell dur-ig the storm of Saturdayerdght and Sun-ay morning. Since then .34 of an Inch ofLin has fallen. The precipitation In Nor-)lk, Va., has been over an Inch and Inie district about Richmond, Va., abouta inch.The electrical storm of Saturday night Isgarded as one of the most remarkableiat has visited this section of the coun--y In several years. The thunder pealed[most continuously for about forty mn-tes and flashes of lightning could be seenLthe sky and on the horizon during theAire time. It was considered a wonderfulemonstration, and was caused by theidden falling of the temperature. The:orm confined Its activities to that sectionIthe country lying between the southernDrder of North Carolina and a line drawnirough Baltimore. There was very littleLin In any other part of the eastern coun-7, and none at all In the northern anditreme southern states.The weather bureau does not look formy more rain and predicts a rise in themperature.

Two -three-masted schooners-the Ralph Hayward andthe Martin Cusa-are lying at Alexandriafor cargoes of ties for Boston. These rail-way ties come from the Inland portions ofVirginia. along the lines of the railways.Some few ties come from down-river pointsand some also from along the line of theChesapeake and-Ohio canal to Georgetown.but the main bulk of them are brought IntoAlexandria by rail. Ten days will be re-

quired to complete the loading of the ves-

sels and making them ready to sail.The supply of fresh fish on hand at the

11th street wharf market this morning,while not large, was ample to meet a

rather poor demand. Shad are coming infair quantities from Norfolk and from- thegill nets In the river, and are selling at fairprices. Herring are scarce, and the demandfor them is very light. Prices this morningare as follows:For gray trout, $2 to $4.50 per barrel; but-

ter fish, $2 to $2.50 per barrel; flounders, 6to 7 cents per pound; Spanish mackerel, 7to 8 cents per pound; salmon trout, 5 to 6cents per pound; rock, 5 to 8 cents perpound; sturgeon, 10 cents per pound; greenpike, 6 to 8 cents per pound; white perch,10 cents per pound; white perch, small, 20to 80 cents per bunch; catfish, large, 25 to40 cents per bunch; catfish, small, 10 to 15cents per bunch; yellow perch, large, 15 to25 cents per bunch; yellow perch, small, 8to 10 cents per bunch; carp, 10 to 20 centseach; eels, 8 to 5 cents each; Potomac roe

shad, 25 to 85 cents each; buck shad- 16 to18 cents each.Oysters are scarce at the wharf, there be-

ing less than fifty bushels on two boats, andtheyare selling at about 50 cents per bushel.Clams are selling at 50 to 0 cents per hun-dred. Hard crabs continue scarce and sellat $1.75 to $2 per barrel. Soft crabs aremore plentiful and can be bought for 25 to35 cents per dozen.Besides receiving a new boiler at Balti-

more, the engine and other machinery ofthe steamer Harry Randall Is receiving athorough overhauling. Her cylinder Isbeing bored out, and when she returns tothis city she will be In thorough order, andIs expected to make good speed. She willreturn to this city early next month.

remarks preanminary to presenting thediplomas made a strong plea for simplicityIn living and for public playgrounds. Thecity Is deficient In these two resnects, hesaid. It is the law of a child's nature toplay, and in obeying this law he is broughtinto conflict continually with the city, lawagainst trespassing, against playing in thestreet or getting on somebody's grass. Theestablishment of public play grounds, hedeclared. wili diminish street, loafing andthe power of the saloon, and reduce thework of the police courts and jails. Theywill counteract the tendency toward nerv-ous and poorly developed bodies. It will bemore profitable to prevent the. children ofthe city from becoming' bad than to pun-ish them after they-are bad. It wil bemore profitable to use the vaeant groundof -the city to grew - a vigorous manhondthan for production of a poor grads ofgrs.The foliowing were the grauates: Doro-
