Services ending with old-fashioned revival meetings were held yesterday In the home camp-meeting, conducted under the auspices of Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, Frederick road, Rev. Charles T.

House, pastor. The camp-meeting has been In progress for several days in the big tent that has been erected for the purpose on a vacant lot near Frederick road and Caton avenue. It is like the out-of-town camps in having services morning, afternoon and night, but It claims to be unique In excluding lawn fetes, melon stands, gate fees and soclar-fjinctions from its program and in being devoted exclusively to religious exercises. The advertised invitation, claims a delightful situation for the tent "yet In the midst of the masses and face to face with the surrounding saloons." Its object, according to the invitation, is twofold "the building up of the local church and the purification of Skulltown." Rev. Robert J.

Bateman, of Knoxville, who Is in charge of the camp, preached at the services yesterday. At the afternoon service he based his address on the account in the Gospels of the Syro-Phoenician woman who besought healing for her daughter, who was grievously vexed with a devil. "We're too easy with our people when we bring them to the Lord," Mr. Bateman said. "We say: 'O Lord, this man Isn't a bad sort of fellow.

He's a nice fellow and does all sorts of good things. Please save him. Not so with the woman of Canaan. Mrs. Cora Lee Pole And Three Of Her Daughters Lose Their Lives.

A telegram from Lexington, wis received late last night by Mr. Walter O. Rodrlck, 213 South Strieker street, announcing the death by drowning there yesterday of his sister, Mrs. Cora Lee Pole, wife of Postmaster John Pole, of Lexington, and three of her children. The telegram gave no particulars, and as Mrs.

Pole had five children it was Impossible to tell which of them lost their lives. Her only son, however, C. Rodrlck Pole, 11 years old. Is spending the summer at New Windsor, so It. Is evident that the three drowned were of the four girls Rachel, 9 years old; Elizabeth, 6 years old; Linalie, 4 years old, and Margaret, 13 months old.

The only body of water of any size near Lexington Is the North river. Mr. Walter G. Rodrlck, who is employed at Mount Clare, will leave this morning for Lexington, accompanied by his wife. Mrs.

Pole, who was drowned, was ,33 years old and the daughter of Captain and Mrs. Jacob Rodrlck, formerly of Harper's Ferry, but now of Lexington. Captain Rodrlck is a conductor on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, between Lexington and Harrisonburg, Va. Mrs. H.

B. Holmes, of Newport News, Is a sister of the late Mrs. Pole. NEGRO'S THROAT CUT Fatal Quarrel Between Workmen At Sparrows Point. The colored population of Furnace row, Sparrows Point, was thrown Into a state of excitement about 1.30 o'clock yesterday morning by the killing of Fayette Watson, colored, who lived at 60 Furnace row.

Frank Connelly, colored, was arrested soon afterward by Special Officer Hughes, of Sparrows Point, and locked np at the station house at that place, charged with murder. An Inquest will be held this morning. Watson and Connelly were employed by the Maryland Steel Company and lived in adjoining houses. They came to Baltimore Saturday night and returned to Sparrows Point on the late train. When near the Toint Watson missed his coat and accused Connelly of taking it.

The quarrel continued until the men reached their homes, where they came to blows. It is charged that Connelly attacked Wat son with a table knife and later drew a two-bladed penknife. The first cut of the pocket knife laid open a gash across Watson's throat from one ear to the other. Many of those living in the row gathered about the shanty and Dr. McCormick was summoned, but he could do nothing, as Watson had already lost a great deal of blood and was dying.

Connelly said he was sorry he did not serve out his time at the House of Correction, where he had been sent for six months. He had gotten out two weeks earlier on account of good' behavior. The coat lost by Connelly was afterward found on the train. Watson was 36 years old and came from Drakesville, Va. Connelly came from South Boston, Va.

Neither was married. INSOLENT NEGRO FINED Sol Benjamin Robinson Sits In A Young Woman's Lap In Street Car. Because he sat in the lap of a youngwhlte woman on a street car against her vigorous protest Benjamin Robinson, colored, was committed to jail on Saturday In default of a fine of and costs by Justice Poe, at the Western Police Station. The trouble occurred early Saturday morning on a West-port car bound for the city from Meeter's Park, and the young lady who was thus subjected to Indignity and humiliation was Miss Mollis O'Brien, 1115 South Charles street. Miss O'Brien, with a number of other young women and their escorts, had boarded the car at Klein's Park.

When the car reached Werner's Park Robinson boarded the car and a few minutes later, to the intense mortification of Miss O'Brien and her friends, sat down In her lap. The young lady ordered Robinson to get up, but he ignored her protest, saying that his nickel meant as much to the company as the one she had paid for riding on the car. By this time the white persons on the car were aroused almost to a fury, and one of them, Frank Wilson, 104 North Howard street, whodld not even know Miss O'Brien, made a pass at Robinson which convinced the negro that it would be better for him to get up. He did so, but was sullen and abusive during the remainder of the trip to the city. The car stopped along Ridgely street and Robinson called Patrolman Hundertmark, of the Western district, and ordered Wii- soli's arrest.

The patrolman took Wilson to the station house. At the hearing later in the day Justice Poe, after hearing the-circumstances, not only dismissed Wilson, but complimented him for his conduct. Miss O'Brien then Bwore out a warrant for Robinson, who had the temerity to appear as a witness against Wilson. Justice Poe promptly fined the negro S51 and costs. GLOTER TAKES A SWIX Bnt The Trial From Flood's To Wagner's Was Abandoned.

Owing to a misunderstanding between William J. Glover, holder of the longdistance swimming record of the Chesapeake bay, and John T. Flood, proprietor of Flood's Park, Curtis Bay, the scheduled swim over a course lying between Flood's Park and Wagner's. Point did not come off yesterday, and a large crowd which had gathered at the park were disappointed. Glover, however, appeared at.

Wagner's Point early In the afternoon, and about 4 o'clock started upon an exercise swim. He swam to the pole buoy opposite Wagner's Point, a distance of about 1 mile, in 30 minutes and 40 seconds. After swimming for about a half hour around the buoys Glover returned to the shore and went home. He was accompanied during the swim by a boat In which was his father, William Glover, his brother. Edward T.

Glover; his brother-in-law, Charies G. Nagel. and Charles Johnston. He was In the water about two hours. He wore only a small pair of trunks and nsed nothing on his body.

At Wagner's Point there was a picnic of the East Brooklyn Volunteer Fire Department, and a large crowd witnessed the swim. Glover says that he does not think that he will do any more long-distance swimming this season unless the remuneration is large. CROSSING AN ALPINE GLACIER Miss Annie Hollins Describes Her Experiences. Miss Annie Hollins, who, with herbrother-in-law, Mr. Henry C.

Kirk, and Miss Klrt, i229 North Charles street, are now at the Hotel Victoria, Interlaken, Switzerland, writes thus to a Baltimore friend of her latest traveling experiences: "The day after I wrote to you I was selaed with the ambition to make an ascent of Mont Blanc and cross a glacier which would not be quite so difficult as the Mer de Glace. I decided, with two friends, to go over the Glacier des Bossons. We had to go up the mountain on mules. Now, you know, I never was on a mule In all my varied career, and It is some time since I mounted a horse. I got on to the animal with the help of a little ladder and started off, with the guide leading my beast.

This particular mule had a wabble like a camel, and, besides this unpleasant motion, he was tormented fearfully by horse-flies. Every time he raised his hind leg to kick off a fly I was hoisted up and came down on the saddle with a thud. Finally he became so wild with the pests that he humped and kicked to such an extent that I thought I would surely land on my head on the earth. As soon as possible I slid off and refused to have anything more to do with the creature. "The mule-boy was sent back for another animal, smaller and more tractable, on which I managed to stick until we got to the top, where we started to cross the glacier.

Before doing so we went Into an Ice grotto. It was weird, but beautiful. Inside the ice was a clear blue and at intervals niches had been cut, In which lights were placed. "In crossing the ice field we had woolen socks over our shoes to keep from slipping and were provided with alpenstocks, and I clung as tightly to my guide's hand as if he had been my dearest friend. The glacier was, I should say, about as wide across as from Charles street to Calvert street, but we had to follow a slg-zag path where step had been cut in the Ice.

After crossing we came down the mountain on foot." Small Sloop Capslses. As the steamer Emma Giles reached Fort Carroll yesterday afternoon on her return trip from Tolchester the excursionists witnessed the capsizing of a small sloop ln which were four men. The steamer was stowed up to render assistance, but as several other.salllng craft which were near the scene went quickly to the aid of the men the water the steamer continued on her route. Attendance At Camp-Meeting Estimated At 2,500. DEAN VAN METER PREACHES Interesting Religious Services Make LTp A Day Long To Be Remembered.

Social Side Of The Camp. It is estimated that 2,500 persons attended Emory Grove Camp-Meeting yesterday. President William T. Conn and the other officials were enthusiastic over the attendance. All day long the meetings were thronged, and in the intervals ladles and gentlemen enjoyed strolling in the bowery shade of the oak trees and in the lanes winding deep between banks.of fern and fragrant foliage.

About 600 persons attended the 11 o'clock morning service and about 1,000 were at the afternoon meeting. The early 6 o'clock prayer-meeting was conducted by W. B. F. Bennett, and at 9 o'clock Rev.

L. T. Widerman led the prayer and experience meeting. Dean Van Meter's Sermon. The sermon at 11 o'clock was delivered by Rev.

J. B. Van Meter, of the Woman's College, who took as his text "Behold, I show you a mystery your labor Is not In vain in the Lord" (I xv, 51 and 58). He said in part: "The mystery of the resurrection of the dead Is not so difficult as that of the heart. When difficulties oppress us we often ask: 'Why continue the struggle longer?" Much that seems labor to us is not so taken by the Lord, because we seek more our own benefit than to do for the sake of righteousness.

This is lack of orthodoxy. The question of the true life is not what is best for me, but what Is the best I can do for Christ." jMp. D. H. Leftwich sang "Home of the Soul" at the morning service.

In the afternoon the service was led by Rev. T. C. Peters, of Annapolis. His text was "As he thlnketh, so is he." He said: The Heart's Idol.

"The man Is no better than his heart, and the Idols of our hearts must be taken down If we would see the Kingdom of Heaven. Nipping the bud does no good If the root of sin is way down In a corner of your soul. Because one Is a Methodist or Baptist or any other denomination will not send him to Heaven; holiness of heart alone is the key. We cannot all write our names high in the temple of fame, but a pure heart can obtain Heaven." Mr. Daniel Roberts' sang "Lord, I Surrender All," the congregation taking up the strain of the chorus.

Rev. Vernon Ridgely led the children's meeting at 4.30 o'clock and Rev. Charles E. Guthrie the young people's meeting at 7 o'clock. Evening Service.

The text of the evening service was from Romans viil, 28: "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God." It was led by Rev. E. L. Watson, of Harlem Park Church. He argued that all things In the world work together unless sin disturbs this order.

A providence watches over us, which entails upon us a responsibility as of son to father. Mr. D. L. Leftwich sang "Come Unto Me." Program For Today.

The 6 o'clock morning service today will be led by Lloyd McCubbln; 9 o'clock, by Rev. F. G. Porter; 11 o'clock, by Rev. William Bird.

The remaining services will be arranged by the presiding ejders, Rev. Dr. C. Herbert Richardson and Dr. Harry S.

France. Mr. C. W. Baldwin, the third elder, is in Europe.

As a con- sequence carriages were rolling through" the "gates all day. One thousand vehicles of all description were massed in the grove. Two trains from Baltimore and another from York swelled the throng In attendance. A reasonable estimate of the crowd was between 7,000 and 8,000.

81 It is certainly very exasperating and a serious impediment to the spread of the Society for the Suppression of Profanity to have your new expensive thermometer tell you that it Is but 80-odd when every perspiring pore in your fagged-out, fly-tortured anatomy tells you that it is on the sunny side of 90. There have been few-more oppressive days this summer than yesterday, and yet the maximum temperature for the day was 89 at noon, white 87 was the highest reached during the afternoon. As usual, the fault lay with the humidity in the atmosphere. At 8 o'clock In the morning It registered 67 per and at the same hour in the evening 76 per but to what heights it attained during the hotter parts of the day only those who suffered can guess. Toward dusk a brisk breeze sprang up and did much to Improve matters.

The temperature for the day appears to have been, lower than usual all over the country. Palestine, Texas, was the hottest place recorded 96. New York, Cincinnati and' Boston were 88" each, and even St. Louis was 90 really frigid compared with her past month's records. Both Cape May and Atlantic City were 84 rather out of the summer-resort class.

Charles Smith, 42 years old, of 1709 North Bethel street, who was overcome by the heat Friday while at work in the tunnel at Central avenue and Hoffman street, died Saturday morning att. Joseph's Hospital. Assaulted In A Rowboat. Antone Rehnan, 1238 William street, was assaulted by an unidentified man yesterday afternoon at he had gone for a day's outing. Rehnan, with two boys, was rowing a boat at Fairview, when another boat came alongside of the boat he was rowing.

One of the men grabbed one of Rehnan's oars, saying he wanted It. Rehnan objected, but the man succeeded in wresting it from him. After protesting some time Rehnan started away, when he was hit In the back of the head, with the oar. When seen last night at his home Rehnan said he did not know the man who struck him nor was he able to give a description of him. 1 Rehnan was brought to the city on the steamer Thomas L.

Wortherly and was attended by Dr. H. W. Webster, 738 Light street. Dr.

Webster said that Rehnan had concussion of the brain and he considers his condition serious. Rehnan Is 51 years old and has a daughter, who lives with him. His wife is dead. Salisbury Dies In Prison. Eugene Salisbury, colored, 27 years old, who was serving a sentence of 20 years In the Maryland Penitentiary, died yesterday of consumption.

He was convicted at Elk-ton, Cecil county, on two charges of assault, with intent to commit felonious assault, on Misses Sarah and Alice Settle, daughters of John S. Settle, of Leeds, Cecil county, and one of common assault on Miss Sarah Deng-ler. of Philadelphia, on the night of June 20, 1898. The three young ladles were attacked by Salisbury on the public road leading from Elkton to Leeds, and in fighting him Miss Sarah Settle had her collar-bone broken. Salisbury was given the full penalty 20 years on the two charges and a sentence of 5 years In the House of Correction for common assault, the latter sentence to begin after the penitentiary sentence.

Police Chase Bathers. The police of the Eastern district were given a lively chase yesterday afternoon at Miller's wharf by about 25 boys who were swimming in the basin. They had a raft and were some distance from thwharf and directly in view of passing steamers. The bathers defied the police until the officers procured a boat and started after them. Then the fun began.

The boys made for the wharf and hid behind tugs, under the wharf, and some ran to their homes clothes-less. The police arrested John Schultz and captured three outfits of clothing, hats and shoes, which they took to the station. The owners of the seized clothing waited In hiding until other boys brought them clothes from nearby homes." Special Tax On Trust Companies.

Smith. AN ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP 21 r. O'Brien And Miss Agntw Have An Exciting: Experience. On Monday of last week Mr. John O'Brien, Ellicott City, and Miss Nettle Agnew, 429 St.

Paul street, Baltimore, were the victims of an attempted hold-up near Ellicott City. They were returning In a buggy to Ellicott City from a visit to friends at the Relay and had driven half the distance in safety, when, in the midst of a wood, a rough-looking man was noticed standing in the road. A closer examination revealed the fact that he was supported by two allies, but before further observations could be made the man first seen grabbed the horse's head and forced the animal to rear. Mr. O'Brien hit the man over the head with his whip and also drew his -pistol, but did not fire.

The would-be highwayman was much discouraged by the blow In the face and let go, especially as his companions did not make much effort to assist him in the enterprise. The whip was then applied to the horse, which soon drew the couple out cf the range of the prospective outlaws. Miss Agnew reports that one of the bad men was attired in a woman's bodice and skirt. The police at Ellicott City were notified, but notraceof the amateur knights of the road could be discovered. THE ONLY MAN SHE EVER LOVED For 15 Years He Had Been In Charge Of The Humpbacked Pets, But He Was Dismissed A Short Time Ago.

Not the least of the effects of the recent reduction in the force employed at Druid Hill Park is the loss of enjoyment to the hundreds of children who were wont in more prosperous days to delight In seeing and petting Flora, the camel. The children lose this pleasure because of the laying off of Flora's keeper, Louis Sclano, who has been indefinitely retired until the Park Board's finances become more satisfactory. Flora herself also, feels the situation and does not hesitate to express her opinion on the matter In language which, while not translatable into English, well conveys the point she is trying to make. Flora is still young, being but 5 years old, and ever since she can remember her life has been associated with Mr. Sclano, who has tended her as carefully as he would a baby and has humored her wishes In a manner which would certainly turn the head of a less intelligent animal.

Mr. Sclano was the dally attendant of Flora's deceased parents, was present at her own birth and has been her daily companion ever since. Flora is not deeply versed in the arts and details of municipal or park management and does not see why at this late day she is to be separated from the only man she ever loved. To show her sorrow and disapproval she calls for him In most mournful tones, emitting peculiar wheezing sighs, which, would certainly move the heart of Comptroller Smith should he but happen to hear them. Occasionally there Is a note of anger and disgust in her voice, but as a rule her complaint Is marked more by sorrow and despair than by wild upbraiding of those responsible for her forlorn condition.

Herded Camels For 15 Years. Mr. Sclano used to lead Flora around by a rope and let the children play with her, the pair being one of the most popular institutions in the park. Now that Mr. Sclano has because of a lack of funds with whV-i to pay him.

Flora is kept In a small field near the sheep house, a point reached by but few children In their rambles through the park. In the field Is a stream of running water and she Is bountifully supplied with hay, but refuses to take heart from any amount of material comfort as" long as her friend and companion is absent. Mr. Sc'anG had been the camel herder at the park for more than 15 years. When King Humbert of Italy first made his gift of camels to Mr.

John W. Garrett, who gave them to the park, Mr. Sclano was recommended for the position by the Italian Consul, he being at that time engaged in the fruit business. Since then he had never left his charge until a week ago, when he was laid off with the other men who were retired in order to bring the expenses within the amount of money at the disposal of the Park Board. He has scoured another position, but is anxious to return to his old place as camel keeper when the board Is In funds once again.

Sale Of Park Sheep. Captain Cassell, superintendent of Druld Hill Park, sold on Saturdaythe first of this season's rams raised In the park. The purchaser was Mrs. Robert Garrett and the price was 115. The ram will be taken to Uplands, Mrs.

Garrett's country home. The sheep raised at the park are pure South-downs. There are 18 young rams for sale this year, 21 having been raised. Eighteen ewe lambs were also raised, but none of them will be sold, as the young ewes are kept each year and only old ones sold. There were 10 ewes for sale this year, and they have been disposed of to Mr.

John Posey, of La Plata, Md. An acquisition to the park menagerie was made on Saturday, when Mrs. Isaac E. Emerson gave Captain Cassell a fine female specimen of rlngtailed monkey, a native of South America. One Effect Of Economy.

The heavy withdrawals of men from the park service are to be noticed In the grass which is growing in the gutters and the number of small stones, dangerous to horses' feet and bicycle tires, which are to be found on ail the roads. Before the force was reduced several men spent most of their time clearing the gutters and removing the stones. DR. BOSLEY TO ENFORCE LAW Will Stop The Sale Of Food Colored With Injurious Materials. The Health Department, beginning with today, will make a persistent and unrelenting war against the sale In Baltimore of all food stuffs, of any sort, which are artificially or chemically colored with injurious matter.

Health Commissioner Bosley wishes It understood, that this movement Is-not directed against the sausage dealers alone, but against dealers of all sorts who are evading this particular law. He says that the law explicitly forbids the sale of artificially colored or sophisticated foods, and that there are many such articles being sold In Baltimore, such as Ice creams, certain kinds of butter, cakes and candles. "I Intend," said Dr. Bosley, "to carry out the provisions of the food ordinances. If the law is a bad one its enforcement Is the best means of having it repealed.

As to breads, cakes and candles, it will be rather difficult to draw the line, but It will be done. There will be no discrimination against anybody or any class of dealers." Dr. Bosley has issued Instructions to Inspector of Bakeries H. J. Hahn to stop the sale of all breadstuffs, Ice creams, cakes and candles, butter and cheese that are colored with Injurious material.

The ordinance on the subject was approved by Mayor Latrobe In 1894. Protest Against Fire Alarm Poles. The plan of Superintendent Boyd, of the police and fire alarm system, to rebuild an old line of fire alarm poles on St. Paul street, has elicited a very vigorous protest from the residents of that street. Mr.

W. O. Atwood, 2809 St. Paul street, on Friday protested to City Engineer Fen-dall and presented a protest from the Pea-body Heights Improvement Association. Mr.

Fendall suggested to Mr. Boyd that he use one of the alleys parallel to St. Paul street for the poles, but Mr. Boyd Is of the opinion that the alleys are private rights of way, and he would have no right to use them. Mr.

Boyd will refer the matter to the law department before taking any steps. City Engineer Fendall has determined not to grant the application of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company to erect poles on Greenmount avenue, as there are already two lines of poles on that street.

Light For City Hall Dome. A plan is being considered by Superintendent of Public Buildings Hellmann and Superintendent of Lamps and Lighting Mc-Cuen for placing In the City Hall dome a large electric light on top of the cupola, the globe of which will be 24 Inches In diameter and will be one of the largest of Its kind in the city. Mr. McCuen has already received a number of letters commending his plan of illuminating the Washington monument. Accused Of Running Gaming Table.

Your friend is probably referring to the new method of preserving fruit without cooking, which is reported from Sydney, Australia. Pears and peaches packed in the ordinary boxes for shipment Are subjected to the vapors of hydrocyanic gas. The fruits are then taken out of the boxes and separately wrapped in tissue paper. Some of them are again treated with the gas and the whole lot is placed In a dry room at a temperature of 40" Fahr. and kept there for seven weeks.

The fruits when taken out are said to be in an excellent state of preservation, especially those treated with the gas a second time. Not only the pears, but the peaches, feel hard to the touch, retain their fresh appearance and show no decayed spots, as the germs have all been killed by the gas..
