Scientists Make an Kxcarslon to H?r? P*n Ferry. WHILE THIRr IS SOXX TALE OT THB OTOLOGIC CONDITION OF THE PLACE THEBE IS MOKE ABOUT JOHN BROWN AM) HIS BAID FBOH THAT POINT. Special Dispatch to The Evening S^ar. IIabpebs PnutT, Va., May ll.-The special train containing the member* of the National Geographic society and their friends who were to take part in the society's first ik-ld day, drew out of the Baltimore and Ohio depot toon after 9:30 this morning, headed for Harper s Ferry. Among the passengers on the train were Major J. W. Powell, Prof. G. R. Gilbert, Simon Newcomb, Theodore Gill, F. W. Clarke, B. E. Ternon. J. W. Chickoring. N. H. Egleston; Cleveland Abbe. Lester F. Ward, A. H. Thompson, Capt C. E. Dutton. Lieut. Everet Hay den. Assistant Secretary Willets. of Department of Agriculture, Henry Gannett. R. S. Woodward, Thomas Wilson, Dr. C. H. Merrian. Dr. W. H. Zaman. Capt. Rogers Birmo, jr., Dr. Marcus Baker and Gen. Pleasant Porter, of the Cherokee nation, W. J. McGee, Dr. Gordon of Kendall Green, Dr. Flint. H. G. Ogden, H. W. Henshaw, Col. Richard J. Hinton, W. A. Croffutt. and many other gentlemen well known in scientific and literary circles, with their families and friends. Gardiner G. Hub bard. president of the society, was prevented by illness from attending. soke geological talk. The train arrived at Harper's Ferry at 11:45 and carried the excursionists directly to the Harness Grove, which had been reserved for them. At the main pavilion a meeting was held, Prof. A. H. Thompson presiding in Mr. Hubbard's place. The exerciscs began about haliN^st 11 with an address by Major Powell on the geological aspects of Har per's Ferry and the Blue Ridge '-ountry. ex plaining the upheavals of nature which threw up the high bluffs, and accounting for courses followed by the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers in this region. He quoted from notes of Thomas Jefferson, written 102 years ago, in which Blue Ridge is described and the great gap cut by the rivers with the vast prairie lying back of the ridgo which he thought must once have been the bottom of a lake. Major Powell discussed briefly the different rivers which a century had brought forth regarding these phenomena as geology had made progress. Prof. G. K. Gilbert followed with a talk sup plementary to Major Powells, going into con siderable detail as to the stratified rock forma j tion and the story which the geologist reads in til am. j COL. RICHARD J. HINTON was next introduced, as a personal friend and intimate of Capt John Brown, and as tho mys terious "William Harrison" who figured in some I of Brown's correspondence. The young man Albert Hazlett. who was captured in the Cum berland vullev and turned over to the Virginia authorities by those of Pennsylvania, was hanged under Colonel Hinton's pseudonym. Col. Hinton's remarks were extemporaneous, and included a brief resume, suggestive rather than descriptive, of the striking features of John Brown's career, with a sketch of his char acter as seen by those who enjoyed his most intimate friendship. John Brown was. in the speaker's judgment, not a raider or marauder. He was not animated by passion or perverted by grief. He abso lutely believed in a just God and in liberty as His law. and in man's individual responsibility to maintain the same. So believing, he re garded chattel slavery as organized piracy. He held that the slave holders had perverted the republican institu tions of the United States, and hence that they were to be subdued like other lawbreakers. He was a great-hearted, deeply-religious man, who lived his convictions. Tender as u woman in his feeling about needless bloodshed, he was as stern as a Cromwel lian Ironsides when it came to the hour of action. How inconsistent with the facts is the popular estimate of hiui as a man without feeling is shown by the fact that this insurgent leader who. with a handful of follow ers. could defy the united powers of the State of Virginia and the federal government, paid a fine, while living in west | ern Pennsylvania from 1826 to 1S35, rather than bear arms in the militia. The historian, Von Hoist, in referring to the sentimental side of Brown's nature, as evinced by his allowing the B. and O. night train to proceed because the passengers pleaded that their families would be alarmed, gave, in CoL Hin ton's judgment, one of the immediate causes of the disaster which followed. The capture of the watchman on the railroad bridge was a cause of tho early alarm excited. The detention of the train was the next most important, as it involved the fatal act of permitting it to go on when it soon reached the telegraph, and thus the news of the movement was scattered far and wide. The next mistake was in yieldiug to the appeal of the prisoners not to carry them away. Fireballs of tow had been pre pared. but were not used, as intended, in the destruction of the bridge. Ac. Brown undoubt edly designed to make an early retreat to the mountains, and thence raid the valley below as early as was practicable. Col. Hinton's theory, based npon personal knowedge of Brown's health at the time, is that his will force was slightly weakened at the critical moment by the physical effects of severe attacks of fever and ague or eungestive chills; but above all other considera tions was his desire to prove to the people in his power, and through them to the country. that he was there as a liberator, with a great mission from on High, and not as a mere marauder. One of Col. Hinton's most interesting relies of Brown's latter days is a letter written to a friend from his prison-cell at Charlestown on the morning of the day of execution, and never before published, in which he conveys his thanks for sympathy extended to himself and his family. "Such a feeling as you mani fest," he wrote, "makes you to shine, in my estimation, in the midst of this wicked and perverse generation as a light in the world. May you ever prove I yourself equal to tho high estimate J I have placed upon you, pure and undefiled religion before God and the fathers is, as I understand it. an active?not a dormant prin ciple." These last words afford, in Col. Hin ton ? opinion, the key to the whole of Brown's remarkable history. The next speaker was Gilbert Thompson, who was one of the engineers who built the 1 American pontoon bridge across the Poto mac at this point PBOF. GILBERT THOMPSON ON PONTOONS. Mr. Thompson began by disclaiming the t nor forced npon him by the printed program of having designed the first pontoon-bridge over the Potomac at Harper's Ferry. He had helped construct it, but the desigding was done by James O. Duane, then a captain, afterward chief of the corps of engineers, U. 8. A. "The American pontoon equipage." said Mr. Thom son. "is a modification of the French system, and the fruit of a long series of experiments in 1859 and 1860. The pontoons made of India rubber and used in the Mexican war were deemed insufficient for the probable require ments of such an extensive war as we had on our hands twenty-seven or eight fears ago Thus, with the exception of trials in practice drill, pontoons were virtually an experi ment in this country until the engi neer battalion, under command of Capt Duane, was ordered by Gen. McClellan to throw a bridge across the Potomac river at Harper s Ferry for the command of Gen N P Banks to cross on. This was found to be a critical test of the drill and discipline of Duane'* troops as well as of the system. The river was at its spring ttood and running at the rate of 10 miles an hour, but the bridge was successfully laid on February 26, 1862. The work began at day break and the bridge of 41 boats, 840 feet in length, was readv for use at 3 JO p m. Generals McClellan" and Banks, with their staff*, were the first to step ashore on its completion; they having attended to the construction of the last fe* days with great interest and satisfaction. It was found necessary to stretch a hawser from shore to shore above the bridge, to which gny-ropes were fastenee. The dispatches of Gen. Mc Clellan at this date show his pleasure over the successful construction of the bridge, although he had considerable anxiety, well founded, as to its standing the strain npon it How ever, it proved equU to all calls npon it and increased the general confl ence in this farm of bridge. This was a nota ble pieee of military engineering in that it was the first wooden pontoon bridge built in the United tttates for actual service. And, without going into detail* of comparison, it turned oat to hie the best form of bridge equipage in the world, an it is even to this day. "The advance of General Bank* wat the first of any consequence in this section. The troops kept the air vibrating with the refrain, then new, of 'John Brown's Body.' The engine that was in Brown's fort was on the Maryland side, and one regiment, made np mostly of firemen, wero with difficulty kept from dragging it along with them. Up in n niche of the cliff, too, was a cioss of white stone, said to have been placed there by Cook one of John Brown's men. EXI'ilEKESTATITE WILSON and ex-Senator Lucas, of West Virginia, ar rived jUBt as Mr. Thompson was finishing his address. The former was at once introduced and gave a brief historical sketch of the section oi the Old Dominion now known as West Virginia, drawn from local records and from the journals of the old settlers. He was followed in the same strain by Mr. Lucas, whom he introduced as a representative of a family who had lived in these parts ever since they were first occupied by white people. The gentlemen brought with tfccm a number of interesting original manu scripts of George Washington and his contem l?or.iries hitherto unpublished, also tho sword worn by John Brown at his fort, and afterward in the civil war by Colonel Bnyler, into whoso bands it fell when Brown surrendered. Prof. N. H. Egleston passed about tot inspec tion an. ainbrotype portrait of John Brown taken in 1857 before ne had raised his long beard. After the addresses tho company adjourned to grounds for lunch, and then brokfc up into Sarties to visit John Brown's fort, to ascend [aryland, Loudoun aud Bolivar heights, and to inspect the mouth of the Shenandoah river aud the curious geological exposures at the foot of Maryland heights. WILL NOT GO TO BOSTON. What Secretary llalford Says of the President's Movements. ??? * ttoLLASTON, Mass., May 1L?Private Secre tary Halford writes as follows to a Wollaston gentleman regarding the circulated report that President Harrison would visit Boston this summer: Washington, May 9. 1889. Mv Dear Sir: The foundation for the item grows out of some response the President may have made to the effect that it would give htm great pleasure, if he should be able to visit Boston, but the present pressure of public business has prevented him from ac cepting invitations up to the present time. Very respectfully yours, E. W. Halford. FISH A FREE MAN. The Ex-Bank President Ends His Prison Life. Auburn, N. Y., May 11.?In a dark cutaway worsted coat, under a broad-brimmed felt hat which almost wholly concealed the upper por tion of his face, James D. Fish, ex-president of tho Marine bank of New York city, emerged at 9:10 o'clock a.m. to-day from tho state prison in this city. He had previously break fasted with the regular mess in the prison and gone^ through the customary ordeal at tho clerk's desk. Among other things he declared that he has eight children. Asked whether he is of the Protestant or Catholic religion, he re plied: '-Puritan." "How was your health when you entered prison?" "Fair." "How is it now?" "Good." On leaving the keeper's hall he shook hands with all the officials, never noticing the squad of reporters standing near. He was given a ticket to New York aud a tivc-dollar Lill i and then proceeded nervously down the iron | front steps to the outer gate, followed by the reporters. At the gate lie was met by friends with a carriage, into which he stepped briskly, and was whirled away up into the city, presumably to the residence of his daughter, who has remained in Auburn during the whole period of his confinement. I Mr. Fish and daughter left from Weedsport I at 10:42 for New York. GEN. CAMERON BETTER. No Serious Consequences Anticipated From His Illness. Lancaster. Pa., May 11.?Gen.

An Earthquake at Annapolis. Annapolis, Mo., May 11.?A shock, vibra tions from northeast to southwest, supposed to be an earthquake, was felt at Annapolis this morning at 3:45. The trembling was ac companied by a loud clap as though something heavy had fallen on the floors of the houses. Honoring Dillon and His Associates. Bvdnet, N. S. W., May 11.?Messrs.

Tucson, Ariz., May 11.?It has been definitely ascertained that Cady, who was killed and roasted on a stove several days ago, the murder being charged to Apache Indians, was. killed by three Mexicans, who had quarreled with him during the day. He was killed, roasted, and mutilated. Not a single Indian has left the reservation or was even in the neighbor hood. Telegraphic Briefs.

Departure of the President and Party on tbe Despatch. A CRUISE WHICH WILL last CXTIL HOTOAY AFTEBXOON?SECHITAEIES WIUDOJf AND husk WITH THE FBESIDXXT'S FAH1LY?AT THE WHIT* HorSE AFD AT A? NAVT-YABD. "The President don't seem to c*re two cents whether I git mv appintment or not," wss the the remark of a disgusted Missonrian who called at the White House this morning and was informed that tbe gentleman he desired to sec had gone down the river and would not be hack until Monday night. That was about as they all felt, but most of them were too pusil lanimously discreet to say so. Ten o'clock was the hour set for the |tart from the executive mansion. The President and Mrs. Harrison were both ready on time, but they did not come out front until two or three minutes later. They stood and watched the servants as they piled a few bundles and a couple of valises under the carriago seats and is the vicinity of Albert Hawkins' feet. THE WHITE HOUSE BABIES. The two nurses, one bearing in her arms the President's idol, Benjamin Harrison McKee, and the other with the little autocrat's baby sister, stepped into the vehicle first and then followed Mrs. Harrison and the President. Sec retary Windom's carriage wus next, and the keeper of the Treasury keys stepped in and followed his leader. 1 Tie third conveyance was that which belongs to the Agricultural depart ment. and it contained Secretary Rusk, his son, and Mr. O. D. LaDow, the secretary's confiden tial assistant. A Stab reporter, mounted on the steed which moves swiftly and silffatly, completed the gay picnic-seeking cavalcade, and sti ung out in line they pranced gaily down l'ennsvlva nia avenue. Recognition of the character of the parade was quite frequent, and many a good citizen doffed his hat as he capght sight of the grave-faced man who, to a very considerable extont, is the controlling power of the republic; even a ragged colored boy standing near the 9th street approach to the Center market took off his headgear, which looked like a bug-eaten cabbage leaf, and grinned when the President smilingly acknowledged his salute. THE BIDE TO THE NAVY-YABD occupied about half an hour's time. Aa the President's carriage rollod under the arched gateway the three marine corporals who were on duty thereat fell into line, looking as im posing as possible, and formally saluted. The name movements wefe repeated to Secretaries Windom and Rusk and The Stab reporter, re spectively, and then rapid time was made down the graveled slope and across that portion of the yard which intervenes between tho com mandant's headquarters and the wharf, at which tho United States steamer Despatch was waiting to receive its precious cargo. There was much blowing of whistles and tooting of bugles when the carriages were first seen from the vessel; the Bailors became imbued with a sudden activity, and tho offi cers prepared themselves to look befittinglv serious. Albert reined his horses up so that the carriage door was precisely in line with the gangway and thon Lieut. Cowles, who is in command of the Despatch, stepped forward and. ufter lifting his cap. assisted Mrs. Harri son to alight. The President followed, and when he had concluded the operation of shaking hands with the lieutenant ne turned to the vehicle and lifted out little Benjamin. LITTLE BENJAMIN AND HIS OBANDFATHEB. Benjamin evidently knew what he was there for, for he at once started toward the gang plank. Unassisted, he might either have suc ceeded or failed in his attempt, but he was not allowed to go too dangerously near the edge. The President himself stopped him, saying, ? You had better wait until wo are ready," and little Bennie thought his grandfather knew best, for he put his little chubby hand in the proffered presidential palm, and with this as sistance the two celebrities marched between the double file of ??side-boys" and went on board. The McKeo baby* remained in tho car-, riage in its nurse's lap, but^t made no protest' because it had boen slighted. 1$ looked on wonderingly, and clapped its little hands and crowed when the President's flag was unfurled at the main-masthead. Senator Hawley, cool and smiling, met the President, and his appearance was the first in timation the pnblic had that the Connecticut Senator was going to be of the party. THE SALUTE. Just then Commandant Meado signaled a waiting marine and the President called to his coachman: "Albert," said he, "they're going to fire a salute, look after the horses." Albert responded with his customary "yes, sir." but the information did not cause him to make any extra preparations. He had been waiting for that salute for some time. The guns boomed out their deep-toned re spect and the President watched Albert and the horses. The latter pawed three or four times; the former was unmoved. When the last re port sounded, and while the echoes were play ing hide and seek over the low-lying Maryland hills, the President told Commandant Meade what a trustworthy capable coachman Albert was, and had Albert been able to hear the encomiums he would have blushed beneath his dusky epidermis. "No, I didn't bring my scythe along," said Secretary Busk to The Stab reporter, "because this is not mowing weather. \ou don't want a man to be mowing all th? time, do you? We are going to plow to-day?plow the rich loam of tho Potfmac?and by to-morrow we will be making furtows in the briny d?ep." Secretary Windom's appearance was more like health this morning than it has been for some time, and he said that ho expected this little voyage to place him solidly on his feet again. THE DErABTUKE. The little party climbedt up to the cunvass roofed quarter-deck as soon as the salute had been fired. Benjamin, junior, was placed in a large, comfortable willow chair by Benjamin, senior. Mrs. Harrison preferred to stand for awhile. Secretary Windom soon found a pleasant seat and so did Secretary Rusk. The I President and Senator Hawley stood on the I side nearest the wharf. All was ready; the lines were cast off or hauled in, the boatswain's whistle piped its shrillest, thero was a chorus of "heave-ho," the screw revolved, and at 10:45 the Despatch moved slowly down stream while the President bowed a farwell and shouted bis thanks in response to a jointly expressed wish from Mr. LaDow and The Stab reporter that he might have an enjoyable trip. There seems to bo no definite route laid out for the voyage. Tho Despatch will not return I until Monday evening, ana it is more than pro I bable that the trip from the bay will be north ward for a short distance. 1 DISAPPOINTED VISITOB8. I Nearly COO people were disappointed when I they crowded into the east room to-day. At 1 I o'clock, bad the President been at home, there I would have been a public reception, and as no I one except a favored few knew that the Presi I dent intended leaving this morning tho crowd was somewhat surprised. The Columbia College Dramatic club had an I appointment for a special reception bnt the I President left his regrets. The collegians? I stars, chorus, ballet and supes? I to the number of nearly half a hundred cume in a big omnibus and were conducted through tho house by Capt. Densmore. When they left they gave their college veil and did a good deal of fancy cheering for Harrison and Morton. They were a decidedly jolly crowd. Replenishing their Library. A large hall packed with people, bright lights, brighter faces, still brighter buttons on very blue uniforms, music, applause. From these components can be imagined the scene in the High school building last night, when the pupils gave their annual entertain ment for the purpose of restocking the school library. It was a great success in more ways " than one, artistically, financially, socially, and a happy feeling of content fills more than one High School heart to-day aa the event of the year is remembered.

Some excitement was caused in southeast Washington about 10:30 o'clock this morning by an alleged indecent assault committed by a negro named Wm. Sears on Mrs. Steinmeir of No. 1308 E street southeast. The negro at tempted to escape, but was pursued by several citizens until they encountered Policeman Slack, to whom they stated the case. That vigilant officer started in pursuit at the asgro and CAPTURED HIV AFTER A HOT CHARS. Mrs. Steinmier, the complaining witness, it % fine, healthy-looking woman, over the ordinary size, and in strength would hare been a match for the miscreant had he laid his hands upon her. Sho resides at No. 1308 E street southeast, in one of a row of modest two-Ktory frame housed, with her hus band and family. This morning, about 10 o'clock, she went into the house of a sick friend, No. 1314, the last house of the row, and was assisting about the kitchen. While go employed the accused, Wm. Sears, came to the Kitchen door and said; "Lady, please give me a pieoe of bread." She replied that she would see the lady of the bouse. She soon informed him that they had no bread. He then left, and in a little time Mrs. S, also left the house, when she saw him standing be neath a tree about eight feet cast of the gate. THE AS8AULT. She states that he then came toward her, exposing himself, and making a most indescent proposal. Sho became nervous at his manner and screamed, and he repeated his insult. By this time she haa recovered her calmness and calling help started toward him, at the same time intending to go for her husband at the brewery, between 13th and 14th streets. The miscreant then halted, and with his hand uplifted seemed about to strike her, and some of the neighbors say be had a stone in his hand. By this time two men who had heard her cries responded, and the negro started on a run across the commons, striking the Isherwood place, northeast of the city limits. FLIGHT AND PURSUIT. When ho reached near tho toll-gate he got out of the sight of his pursuers, but they gave information to Officer Slack, who started him from his cover, and jumped his horse over two fences and secured him. The officers at once sent for tho patrol wagon and' the prisoner was brought to the city. Mrs. Steinmier identified the ruffian. Indeed, he did not deny that ho was the person, but in sisted that he had not put his hands upon her. Mrs. S. said it was a good thing he did not. The prisoner is a short, thick-set negro and has several scars on Jiis face, which indicate that he has been in several fights. He denied that he assaulted the woman. The prisoner is held on a charge of indecent assault. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The two council boards were last night like two dynamos with counter currents. In each board the same question came up simultan eously. The joint committee on finance and on light having been united by a vote of the board for the special purpose of contracting for electric lighting of the city on the best terms, had since the previous meeting of the councils held several sessions, invited proposals and ac cepted, by a vote of 6 to 2, the proposal of the Scnuyler Electric Lighting company. The effect of that vote was differently under stood by the majority and the minority of the committee. The majority held that they were bound at once to make the con tract. and they did so. Chairman Marbury ugn ing the acceptance of bid and preliminary contract. The minority held t hat no contract could be made until the matter was referred back to the city council for their action. Hence, when the board met, Mr. Snowden, of the lower board, held that no contract had been made and introduced a resolution requesting the committee not to sign a contract until it had been first passed upon by the city council. But a bubstitute for this, declaring the approval by council of the action of the committee in making the contract, was adopted by a vote of, yeas ? Messrs. Aitcheson, Moore, Fisher, Oronan, Whiting, Henkle. Waddy, Smoot, Btrider, Bavne, and Kelly* no?Mr. Snowden. In the aldermen the ma jority was the other way, and the same resolu tion against the contract, which had failed in the council, was introduoed by Alderman Burke, and the vote stood?yeas, Aldermen Ag new, Burke, Bryant, and Leadbeater; nays, Al dermen Marbury and McKensie. Both houses then adjourned without an effort to settle then disagreement, and the result will be that the city will have electric lights tinder the ooetract with the 8cnugler company.
