About thirty young ladies, members of the classes in gymnastics at the Young Women's Christian Association, took part in the Swedish fete that was given last night In the gymnasiaum, for the purpose of raising funds for the purchase of ap paratus for the gymnasium. The girls were dressed in the quaint costumes of the Swedish peasants, and for the time seemed to have taken on the characteristics of the peasant girl. Their long braids bobbed up and down, their jingling ornaments tinkled, and the bright colors of their piquant costumes flashed as they tripped through the coquettish dances, and played the old peasant games.

Everything was done to make the fete as much like an outdoor village festival as possible. The walls of the gymnasium were almost hidden by tall spicy pine trees, and the windows were gay with th Norse and Swedish colors. An Interesting collection of dolls dressed in the peasant costumes typical of the different Swedish provinces, quaint pieces of carved woodwork, and some tiny models of the red-capped gnomes, who figure so largely in Norse and Swedish folk lore, were among the details of the decoration. In the intervals between the dances, the girls gathered in picturesque little groups and sang some old Swedish folk songs, with quaint rhythm, and somber minor strains. After the dances they mingled among the guests, serving to them a Swedish luncheon, "Smorgasbord." The fete was given under the direction of Miss Esther Porter and Miss Hilda Erlkson, the gymnasium instructors.

Mrs. Annie Rackensperger and her three children narrowly escaped suffocation by smoke, at 301 North Fremont avenue, Baltimore, shortly after midnight. Fire was discovered in the rear of the drug store of Dr.

William L. Pierce, in the same building. Mrs. Rackensperger and her family occupied the third floor of the house, and were cut off from escape down the stairway by the dense smoke, which filled the building. When the fire department arrived a ladder was raised to the third-story window and the firemen carried the mother and children safely out of the room and down the ladder.

The thermometer at the time registered 25 degrees above zero. The damage by fire was slight. The house is owned by Frank Hohman. Still A Hope For The Fairfax. News received yesterday at the office of the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company from the Fairfax, which is stranded In Vineyard sound, stated that there is still a fighting chance to save the vessel from complete destruction.

A report on the situation shows that the ship rests well between the large boulders. It is not regarded likely that the ship will change her position. Captain Sharpe, of the Merritt Wrecking Company, who is in charge of the operations, says that the only way the vessel can be saved is by the use of pontoons, and these cannot be employed until the cargo is removed. The captain, who was in charge of the men who raised the Maria Teresa, off Santiago, says that there is no reason why the Fairfax should not lie in her present position another six months without further Injury from the weather. The fact that she stood the storms of December 4.

5 and 6 without greater damage and the belief that there will not be any worse weather are given as reasons for this judgment. Inspections by divers show that the forefoot of the keel has gone about twelve feet back, and there are a number of large holes in the shell. Civil-Service Examination.

The Maria Eickmers Answered TheLon-(Ionian's Signals And A Brave Crew Of Volunteers Took Off The Last Sur-vivors At Great Risk To Themselves. A sequel to the story of the rescue of forty-five men from the Wilson-Furness-Lt-yland steamer Londonian by the John-Btoi Line steamer Vedamore. which landed them at this port on Thursday last, was brought to port yesterday evening by the North German Lloyd steamer Maria Rick-mtrs, Captain Groscb, from Bremen. The signal which means "eight" In the international code, sent up from the Londonian the last evening she was seen from the Vedamore, meant that eight men remained on board to be rescued.

Those eight men yesterday welcomed port through the bravery of Captain Grosch's volunteer crew from the Maria Rickmers. Eight Survivors. Of the twenty-five persons known to have been on board the Londonian on the afternoon of November 27, before the boatload capsized, rhe eight brought to port yesterday were the sole survivors of those on the ship.

CATTLEMEN DANIEL COVENTRY, of Boston, and THOMAS MeCOY. of Worcester. A man who was given a chance to return home to England by working his passage, whose name was not known to the rescued, was also lost, making a total of seventeen lives lost. Captain Lee put the papers of his ship inside his shirt when he leaped overboard saved, but as they were lost he has nc record, beyond that of memory, of his crew. Captain Bartlett's Log.

The circumstances of the failure of the Lond steering gear to work and her falling into the trough of a raging sea, and the complete helplessness of the ship, as related when the Vedamore brought the ferry-five lives here, were corroborated by Crptain Lee and his men. Captain Bart-letfs log recorded the capsizing of the List boat from the ship and his inability to rf.oh the Londonian. He then, after the third day lying near her. signaled that he v. uld remain until morning, which would have been November 2S.

At 1.30 o'clock A. M. that day the Londonian was lost sight of. He made a circle, burned lights, to which there were no reply, and he decided to stop and await daylight. At 7.30 "clock he steamed around in a great circle, with an officer at the masthead on the lockout, but there was no steamer visible.

aring the vessel had foundered the Vedamore proceeded on her voyage. Captain Lee's Account. Captain Lee, in taking up the story when the last boat was started from his ship on November 27 toward the Vedamore, gave a graphic description of the horrible moments that followed. Chief Officer Murray took charge of the boat, in which were twenty-two persons beside himself. When the boat cleared the ship there was not a soul on the Londonian except Captain Lee and Third Officer Cottier, who were to seek rescue after the boat tad delivered all but her pulling crew to the Vedamore.

The boat, while ably managed by Chief Officer Murray, was swamped by the suction of the Londonian. Then the attention of those on board the doomed fhip was directed to the rescuing of the men in the water. All had lifebelts on, but the great suction caused by the rolling of the steamer drew them into the vortex and only six were saved. They were Cor-jiess, Webb, Behm, Martin, Darnell and Ca risen, who were thrown against the ship by the waves and by superhuman effort got on board. Chief Officer Murray, Chief Engineer Strafford.

Third Engineer Slater and seaman, drowned, were alongside. They had hold of lines which had been thrown to them by Captain Lee and Sec-end Officer. Cottier, the only two on the 6hip to assist in saving them. These four men In the water had clutched the lines and every effort to land them on board was abortive. They dropped one by one and were drawn Into the vortex made by the great hull of the Londonian rising and falling with the sea.

The Kickmen.To The Bescne. Captain Lee and the seven left on board the Londonian say they last saw the welcome lights of the Vedamore at 8 o'clock on the evening of November 27. In the morning nothing could be seen. At half-past 11 o'clock on the night of November iS the lights of a steamer were seen. Immediately signals were burned on the Londonian.

Soon after the steamer was seen steering direct for the ship. About midnight she was so close to the Londonian that orders could be heard on board as the Maria Rickmers steamed about the wreck. Soon a lifeboat from the Rickmers was speeding toward the disabled steamer, but the roughness of the sea and the wallowing of the Londonian made it dangerous to approach too close. The rescuing party were in charge of Second Officer D. Lena, of the Rickmers.

He managed his boat up and down along side of the Heamer until he saw his best vantage point to perform the rescue. dropped his beat under the stern with great difficulty and asked for a small line to be cast from the ship to his boat. This was done and secured to the lifeboat. Then he ordered those on the Londonian to Jump Into the sea, holding on to the line, which would lead them to the boat. This was done and they were quickly picked up.

Captain Lee was the last to leave, and was rescued In the same manner. Mr. Lenz then made his way back to the Kickmers, and the eight last survivors cf the Londonian were at once made cheerful and comfortable. Third Officer Cottier had no shoes, stockings and only a part of his pantaloons when he stepped on the deck of the passenger steamer. Soon the wardrobes of the eight men were made up from the stock of officers and sailors.

The gratitude of all was overflowing yesterday to Captain Grosch and his officers and men. Especially were the eight men made at home by the steerage Immigrants on board the Rickmers, who had witnessed the daring and successful rescue. The Brave Crew. The crew of the lifeboat from the Rickmers, all volunteers, with Second Officer Lenz were: Boatswain P. Meinke, Quartermaster A.

Meyer, Between Deck Steward E. Muss and Seamen F. Bebber, G. "tt'eniger and C. Fast.

Captain Lee said he never saw a boat so ably handled in a bad sea as was the boat by Mr. Lenz and the perfect carrying out of his orders by Lis crew. Seaman Bebber wears the medal for life-saving presented him by the British government. He was one of the volunteer boat's crew from the North German Lloyd steamer Aller that saved Capt. "William Sscroggie and crew of the steamer Dago in mid-ocean this year.

The Dago was bound from Leith for Baltimore. Captain Lee and his men remained on board the Rickmers last night. Today they will be taken in charge by British Consul Fraser and sent to their homes or where designated by the agents of the line in Boston. Captain Lee 6ays the rescue was completed about 2 A. 51.

TWO CHILDREN SUFFOCATED The House In Which They Were Left By Their Parents Took Fire From A Broken Stove. William and Maria Foster, both aged, respectively, ten and twenty-two months, children of William Foster, colored, were suffocated by smoke yesterday niorniifg in the second-story front room of the home of their parents, 730 Sarah Ann street. The children were alone In the house at the time, their parents having gone out to work a short time before the accident. The mother does washing and Ironing and the father makes his living by peddling wood and coal.

Patrolman Walsh saw smoke issuing from the windows and ran to a near-by fire-alarm box and summoned the fire department. When the fire department arrived a search, was begun for the BY THE SPECIAL EXAMINERS Three Of Them Have Been At Work Since September. They Are Messrs. Cole, Woodburn And Hill, And, It Is Said, Have Discovered A Number Of Cases On Which The Pension Bureau May Take Action. The report of Special Pension Examiners Cole, Woodburn and Hill, soon to be made, is expected to deal almost entirely with the results of their examinations Into alleged violations of the pension laws in Baltimore.

These officials have been quietly at work in Baltimore since September. They are special officers of the pension bureau, and go from city to city Investigating charges of fraud and Irregularity. Commissioner of Pensions Evans is making a determined effort to have the pension laws rigidly enforced, and has already had thorough investigations made in New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. In each of these cities, it is understood, 'a number of violations of the law have been discovered, and appropriate legal steps may be taken by the United States authorities. The investigation in Baltimore has been conducted along two lines.

The law provides that should the pensioned widow of a soldier marry again, or enter into marital relations, her pension shall cease. It is said a number of such cases have been discovered. In order to ferret out these cases an immense amount of work was necessary, and the entire city has been carefully gone over. Widows of soldiers who marry again and continue to draw their pensions are liable to prosecution on the charge of perjury, as they are required to make oath that they are unmarried and dependent. While criminal proceedings may not be Instituted in any Baltimore case, it is believed that a number of female pensioners will be dropped from the lists as the result of the investigation.

While this work has been going on other and more specific charges have been looked Into. Federal statutes especially provide that money must not be loaned or borrowed upon pension certificates. For many years trouble has been experienced along this line. Persons have taken advantage of the needs of pensioners and have lent them money at high rates of interest, holding the certificates as collateral. When the pensioner drew his money quarterly he would repay the creditor.

This abuse led Congress some years ago to pass a law making it a misdemeanor to either borrow or lend money on a pension certificate, the lender and borrower, upon conviction, both to be subjected to a fine not exceeding $100 and the costs of prosecution. Evasions of this law have been discovered. It is said, which are difficult to deal with from a legal standpoint. The lender will take the note of the borrower, indorsed by any one, irresponsible or not, who may be induced to sign his name. This note is placed in the lender's safe, and If the borrower chooses to leave his pension certificate there to be filed away with the note he may do so.

The note is generally paid when the pension check is cashed. The Baltimore investigation was caused, it is said, by the discovery of the fact that in many cases a number of pension checks have been ordered sent to the same addresses. By having this done money lenders could the better keep an eye on their creditors." About a month ago, just before the last payment period, by request of the commissioner of pensions, the Postoffice Department ordered that letters from the pension bureau should be delivered only to the person addressed, who must be known to the carrier. This was to break up the custom of leaving large lots of checks at the same place to be called for. It Is understood that a large number of checks have been "held up" by the special examiners here within the last two weeks, pending examination-, which work is now near-Ing completion.

The Inquiries have been dlrectel toward ascertaining the extent of the practice of lending money on certificates and ferreting out persons suspected of violating the law. Some interesting facts are expected to be set forth in the report of the special examiners. These officials, however, decline to give any information upon the subject, referring all questions to the, bureau at Washington. A special dispatch from Washington to The Stin last night stated: "Representative Mclntlre, of Baltimore, called on the Secretary of the Interior today relatfve to the trouble a number of Baltimore pensioners are having in regard to their vouchers for the December payments. The vouchers usually arrive about the fifth of the month.but this year, instead of receiving their vouchers, many of the pensioners, it is stated, were sent notices to call at the Baltimore custom house and give a history of their pensions and of themselves.

Having received a number of complaints, Mr. Mclntlre called on Secretary Bliss to ascertain the cause of this action, but the Secretary was absent. Assistant Secretary Webster Davis, who has direct charge of the pension bureau, said he would have an immediate investigation made and Inform Mr. Mclntlre of the result. "It Is supposed here that the bureau Is attempting to unearth some fraud by compelling each pensioner to be identified and to explain the circumstances of his pension.

The pensioners, however, are greatly Inconvenienced by the withholding of their vouchers, as they usually make engagements depending on the receipt of this money." Officials at the United States sub-treasury have been paying pension money to historic characters recently at least the names of the pensioners are historic. Yesterday Napoleon Bonaparte received his quarterly stipend. Napoleon was very dark In color, and being unable to write his name on the receipt, made a very large dark mark. The day before two George Washtngtons had pension checks cashed, and Sclpio Africanus was made happy In the same way. HOMEOPATHIC BAZAR The Ladies' Auxiliary Of The Hospital To Open A Bazar Today la Hazazer's Hall.

The Ladles Auxiliary of the Homeopathic Hospital, North Mount street, will open a bazar and supper today at Hazazer's Hall, West Franklin street.

Theatres Last Night. "Antony and Cleopatra," performed last night at Ford's Opera House by Mme. Modjeska and her company, formed the climax of the week's engagement. It was to a large extent a personal triumph a great evening for the artiste. The support of the star was, however, quite adequate, while the stage setting and general furnishings of the piece were more copious than at any of the performances given this week.

As the ravishing Egyptian Queen Modjeska has probably her most sympathetic role. She shows the full resources of her histrionic art. Detail and the broader conceptions at the basis of the Interpretation all receive the most careful attention and produce a completeness that makes the characterization unique. Much Interest was shown In the production at the Academy of Music last night by Miss Olga Nethersole of Pinero's "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," which has been seen before in Baltimore.

It attracted much attention a few years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Kendall played it here, not only on account of the prominence of the actors, but because there was something inherently Interesting In the play. Naturally, Miss Nethersole's Paula was compared to Mrs. Kendall's.

This is always the case when some one attempts to portray a character which some one else has practically created. It Is but fair to Miss Nethersole to say that she shouldered her responsibilities. Fifth Ward Democrats. The fifth ward delegates elected at the democratic primaries held November 30 met last night at Progressive Hall, Broadway and Eastern avenue, -and selected the ward executive and delegates to the city convention. Frederick J.

Mc-Elroy; third precinct, Charles G. J. Acker-man; fourth precinct, Frederick KIpp; sixth precinct, Henry Mohr; seventh precinct, Philip Weller; eighth precinct, James Stanton; ninth precinct, George W. Graham; tenth precinct, Matthew White; eleventh precinct, Charles F. McGinn; twelfth precinct, John.

J. Carr. The first and fifth precincts were left out, as the president and ward executives were selected from them. As this was the third time the delegates of the ward had been called together, it was thought some would bolt, but the meeting passed off quietly and all seemed to be satisfied. Holders Of SJO.OOO Shares Agree To Sell.

Why not buy him a nice diamond stickpin? You could always find use for that, you know.

Cleveland Leades Action On The Chesapeake And Potomac Repealing Ordinance Postponed By A Council Committee. The Council committee on police and jail decided yesterday. to postpone temporarily action on the ordinance repealing the ordinance giving the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company the right to lay conduits In the city streets. The committee desires to hear from Chief Engineer Phelps, of the city's subway work. Delay In action upon the ordinance was also urged by Mr.

Bernard Carter, counsel for the company, who submitted to the committee the following propositions on the part of the company: 1. To abandon further extension of its conduit system on Madison avenue if it could be definitely shown that it was incompatible for both the city and the company to occupy the street bed. The city has to run a conduit out Madison avenue to carry the feed wires of the street railway. The company can use another street, but at increased cost of construction of conduits. 2.

The company will obligate itself to make no application for permits for extending its system in the eastern, western and southern sections of the city until the subway commission has definitely prepared its plans and decided upon its streets. Mr. Carter explained the original ordinance and the action taken by his company before and after Acting Mayor Ec-cles revoked the permit for the company to continue work, which took place on November 12. He did not discuss the legal right of the Council to repeal the ordinance, but said that he did not think it had such a right. The original ordinance, he said, was in the city charter in 1892 and was not sneaked in the new charter, as intimated.

The original ordinance, he contlnujd, gave the telephone company the right to lay conduits in any street of the city where the conduits might be needed for the burial of its overhead wires. The company did not wish to take advantage of the broad privilege, but recognized a higher claim on the part of the city in its streets. For this reason, he said, the company was willing that Mr. Phelps, City Commissioner Connet and its engineers should meet and determine the practicability of laying both conduits in Madison avenue. The company's engineer thinks that the plau is perfectly feasible, but if reasonable and sufficient objections can be made the company will abandon its original plai.

He said that he had invited such a conference when he went before Acting Mayor Eccles at the time the permit to work was revoked, but it had not been held. The company's engineer had gone to Mr. Phelps to talk the matter over, and Mr. Phelps, it is said, then announced that both conduits might be laid In the street. Mr.

Carter said that the proposed extension of its conduit system was necessary for the efficient working of the telephones, and the branch exchange on Madison avenue, near Robert street, was needed to relieve the pressure on the central exchange, on St. Paul street. Under the original ordinance, continued Mr. Carter, the company has to pay an annual tax of thirty cents on each lineal yard of conduit within a radius of the first four miles and twenty cent3 a lineal yard for each mile or part of mile in addition, the tax never to be less than $3,000 a year. It has also to reserve space in its conduits of the city's fire alarm system wires.

The company, he said, cannot rent a foot of its space to any other company. Mr. Carter concluded by saying his company did not want to interfer with the city's work, but would assist it In any possible manner. The committee were of the opinion that the city officials connected with the subway work should be heard before act'on was taken. An effort will be made to get Mr.

Phelps and Mr. Carter together before the committee. NEW TRUST C03IPANIE5 Postmaster "Warfield To Be President Of One He Makes A Statement About His Reappointment.

Mary Agnes Dyser, aged twenty years, appeared as a complainant yesterday before Justice Smith against Harry C.

Hortz, a young man residing at 51 South Monroe street, whom she charged with assaulting and striking her on Monday night in the vicinity of 1808 Wilhelm street. She claimed that Hortz struck her three times, one of the blows causing her to fall in the gutter. Her testimony was corroborated in part by Nicholas McCubbln, of 1808 Wilhelm street, who, however, said that he saw only two blows struck, though he had heard Hortz threaten to strike the young woman because she made some uncomplimentary remarks about a young lady for whom he entertains a warm affection. Several young men, friends of Hortz, testified that Mary had been the first to pull off her coat and offer to thrash any one of them, the only condition being that they advance one at a time. Mrs.

Sauerwald, 1909 Frederick avenue, stated that she had heard Hortz declare that he intended to go to the home of Mr. McCubbin, where Mary resides, and clean out the house with a revolver in such a manner that all the occupants would have to be carried out on shutters. After hearing the testimony Justice Smith ordered Mary placed under arrest on the charge of disorderly conduct, preferred by one of the young men, and dismissed the charge of assault against Hortz, whom he then had again taken into custody also on the charge of disorderly conduct. Mary declared with emphasis that she wanted a jury trial, while Harry elected to allow the magistrate to dispose of his case. Justice Smith fined Hortz $1 and costs, which was paid by his father.

As Mary was being taken upstairs by Mrs. Cole, the matron, she called out to some friends to "break the news to mother" and laughed Immoderately as she disappeared around a bend In the staircase. COLDEST DAT THIS SEASON Record For Low Temperature Thus Far Held By Yesterday, When 14 Decrees Was Registered. The record for low temperature so far this winter Is held by yesterday, when the thermometer registered 14 degrees. The record also beats that of last December, when the lowest temperature attained was 16 degrees.

The coldest day last winter occurred in January, when a minimum temperature of 8 degrees was reached. The cold wave is thought by the weather bureau officials to be breaking, as the forecast for today Is for southwest winds, which will bring a higher temperature. For the first time this season the boat lake at Druid Hill Turk was covered with skaters. Hundreds of boys and girls rushed for the park as soon as the schools were out, and at 4 o'clock there were skaters on every part of the lake. The ice was about three Inches thick all over the lake, and had been swept clear of the snow by the employes of the park, until the surface was smooth and solid.

It was an Ideal day for skating, the air was clear and cold and the Ice good, and the skaters remained until nearly dark. Toward the end of the afternoon the crowd was so great that the Ice began to break up near the edges and the pond was cleared. Skating was not allowed in the park last night, but unless the thermometer takes a sudden rise the lake will be in fine condition today. FRAMED PIC1UKES FOR PKESEXTS.
