The first vestry election ever held in Alex- andria took place on the 28th of March, Easter Monday, 1765, some years before Christ church was built. At that election John West, Charies Alexander, Wm. Payne, John Dalton, George Washington, Charles Broadwater, George John- son, Townsend Dade, W. Adams, John Posey and D, French were ¢hosen vestrymen, The vestry had then many of the powers of county courts as boards of snpervisors, They laid the county levy, took care of the poor, bound out fixed the boundaries of lands, &c. election of 1765 Gen. Washington was by uo means the most popular of the vestrymen, as he received only 274 votes out of 340 cast. Old Christ church, of Alexandria, as it is known. is one of the historic places in this y, and is visited frequently by tourists. There the pew in which Washington used to sit is shown. When the centenary services were held in this church, November 20 and 21, 1573. @ Bible, once belonging to George Wash- ington, and presented to the church by G. W. P. Custis, esq., of Arlington, was used. TRE EARLY RECORDS. The parish was created out of a portion of the parish of Truro in February, 1765, and as the record quoted above shows Col. Geo. Wash- ington, then thirty-three years old. was elected avestryman, Some of the old records of the parish are interesting asindicating the customs of that time. In 1766, for instance, the sexton received an annual salary of 500 pounds of to- bacco. When it was desired to build a new church, the vestry ordered a levy upon the eople of the parish of 31,185 pounds of to- Nnees we tha purpose. Upon’ the completion of the new church in Februa: 1773, Col. Geo. Washington purchased pew No. 5 for the sum of £36.10s., the highest price paid. In those colonial days, in consequence of the relation then existing between church and state, the fanctions of the vestry extendec to a variety of matters, By their order the tithe collector ied upon the land owners of the parish. Under their authority the “processioners” sur- veyed and established all land boundaries, The church wardens also bound apprentices to the masters, and to them were Coe the fines for the violation of sundry penal statutes. In 1775 the following entry is found in the proceedings of the vestry: “By cash received by Mr. Wm. the Adams for several fines for deer-killing out of season, red to him by Mr. Bryan Fairfax, £2, and in 1778 are entries for fines paid for gaming and for hunting on the Sabbath, The salary of the first rector, Rev. Townsend Dade, who began his duties there in 1765, was 17,280 pounds of tobacco. FEMALE SEXTONS. Another thing that strikes one to-day as odd in connection with the old church records is the fact that the office of sexton was on two occasions held by a woman. In 1776 Susannah Edwards ushered the members of the congre- gation up the tile-paved aisles to the seats al- lotted to each “according to dignity.” In 1810 the name of Mrs. Cook appears as sexton, She filled the office till 1821, when she was retired onan annuity, It is related that she used to lock the parishioners into their pews and patrol the aisles with a military air, alert to detect and prompt to suppri violation of order. The church was not called “Christ” church until 1814, when it was consecrated by Bisho] Claggett, of Maryland. Near the pew occupie by George Washington is shown one that Gen. Robert E. Lee sat in for ma’ _ BASE BALL The Senators Cared For by the Giants— Other Games, In the presence of about 4,000 spectators at Staten Island yesterday the New York Giants batted out a victory from the Senators by the y and Mack, and Crane The Giants did the heaviest and most batting, making four two-base hits and eruns, The latter were secured in the last inning. and won the game for New York. Morrill played first-base, Sweeny third, and Carney right field. Wilmot was hit by a ped bail in the first inning, and Shoch took his place. The fielding of both teams was very fine, and the game was in doubt until Crane lifted ont a home ran, the longest ever seen on the home grounds. Hoy made three hits, O'Rourke, Connor, and Crane each two. Wash- ington; made 7 hits and 5 errors—Mack 4 and O'Day'1—and New York 9 hits and 2 errors, Cleveland, to the surprise of most folks, de- feated Pittsburg. 2to 1. The batteries were aley and Miller, and Bakeley and Snyder. ‘Fhe infants made both of their runs ia the first inning. Cleveland made 8 hits and 2 errors, aud Pittsburg 7 hits and 0 errors. Boston had not much difficulty with Phila- delphia, winning by the score of 8 to Bos- ton made 9 hits and 6 errors, and Philadelphia 4hitsand4 errors. Buftinton and Clements and Clarkson and Bennett were the batteries. Chicago pulled out, like New York, in the ninth inning, and won from Indianapolis by the score of $to7, The batteries were Getzein and Buckley, and Krock and Flint. Chicago | ‘ made 11 hits and 2 errors, and Indianapolis 14 bits and 0 errors.

Last evening about 9 o'clock Officer Golway arrested, at the corner of 13th and E streets, James Rooney and Wm. MeMillan, who were en- gaged in a slugging mateh. Th col- eral each at the first precinct station. This morning MeMillan forfeited his collateral in the Police Court. Rooney stood trial. ‘The officer testified that he found them “goin at each other lively,” and that McMillan ha the reputation of being a prize fighter. Mr. Aimes—“What is Mr. Rooney? Mr. Gol found him a pretty good man, able to take care of himself.” Rooney testified that he Willard’s by McMillan, who said he understood that he (Rooney) had talked about him. Wit- ness went with McMillan to see his informant. McMillan, after some words about being able to lick some one. struck witness, and of course he defended himself, for he didn't propose to be slugged. ‘The court ascertained that Mr. Rooney was sober at the time and released him on his per- sonal bonds. ges © A wealthy London merchant gives the secret of his business success as follows: “I always feel happy when I am advertising, for then I know that, waking or sleeping, [ havea strong though silent orator working for me; one who never tires, never makes mistakes, and who is certain to enter the households from which, if at all, my trade must come.” To secure the services of such an agent as thie shrewd merchant referred to, advertise in Tuk Evestxo Stan, It is read by everybody m Washington, ——-.__ Bible Society Officers.

Yesterday afternoon the jury in the case of Charles H. Stewart and Thomas W. Jones against the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Potomac, Alexandria and. Ftedericksburg, Alexandria and Washington and Virginia Midland railroads, on trial in the Circuit Court, Division 1, returned a sealed verdict, The plaintiffs were postal clerks running between Washington and Charlotte, C., and were on the Virginia Midland train which, on Febuary 19, 1885, was wrecked by a collision with an Alexandria and Fredericksburg fast freight at Four-Mile Run, They were caught under the wreck and injured. Each claimed $20,000 damages. It was in proof that the freight train going south was in charge of a mixed crew (of Baltimore, Potomac and Alexandria and Fredericksburg), and the accident took place on the track of the Alexandria and Wash- ington, and the plaintiffs claim — that all the railroads named were associated with the Pennsylvania and practically controlled by it, and, therefore, it was responsible as well as the Virginia Midland, in whose cars the plain- tiffs were at the time, although when the train reached Alexandria an Alexandria and Fred- ericksburg conductor took charge. The Mid- land company claimed that the responsibility was thrown on the other roads when it passed from its own to other tracks and the Alexandria and Fredericksburg men took charge. It was shown that the collision was caused by the fail- ure of the automatic signa! to work, and it was claimed that as both trains were behind time and the mail train had the right of way, both of them should have been under control and not have ventured beyond the signal until they saw the way clear. Axzavon’s Orena Hovse.—Henry Lee, who has long been known as an excellent leading man, made his first appearance in this city asa : at Albaugh’s in a play called which is an adaptation of D’En- jier de Lamorliere.” The piece is a good one and not only affords Mr. Lee an for display in those manly and uities which have heretofore been aracteristics, but also gives room for bits of character work, which are very well done and prove the possessor of a greater range of talent than was generally supposed, ‘The other characters are also well drawn and were well taken. Miss Mabel Jourdan as Louis gave an excellent performance, as did also } Vinnie Seligman ‘glantine. Messrs, E. A. MeDowell, , Reinan and Tingay were effective in th respective parts. The play was well put upon the stage and in it Mr. Lee will undoubtedly meet with great success, New National Tueater.—In the large au- dience that assembled at the National last night to witness the Lydia Thompson burlesque com- pany in “Penelope” there were some who re- membered the fair Lydia when she first came to this country twenty years ago as the pioneer im burlesque’ andi they oouit hardly realize that it was the same woman they now saw. Time has dealt very gently with her. She is as bright, as sprightly, and as full of life aa when she and Pauline Markham and Eliza Weathersby did “Sinbad, the Sailor,” and the “Forty Thieves” in the olden time, “Penelope” is like all burlesques, but it furnishes an oppor- tunity for the graceful grouping of well-shaped girls in scanty but gorgeous raiment, for many dances and much music. Lydia was Ulysses, Millie Marion Cupid, Aida Jenoures Penelope, and all found great favor with the audience, Messrs, Kellerher, Gillow, Denney and Starr furnished the fun and displayed considerable comic ability. The whole company is large and effective, all the ladies being of good figure and lending their aid to a spirited’ and pleasing performance. Hanns Bisov Turater.—Held in Slavery” was the attraction at Harris’ last night givin Mr. Martin Hayden an opportunity for goo delineation of a strong melodramatic char- acter.
