President Mims of the Southeastern Tariff Association and Chief Parris of the District fire department walked arm in arm about o'clock last evening from the entrance to the Arlington to the fire-alarm box at the corner of I street, opposite the Arlington. The members of the association who had gathered in front of the hotel straggled along after them. Chief Parris wanted to show the visitors what the | Washington fire department could doin the way of prompt work. The chief opened the fire alarm box. “You see that little hook there,” he said to Major Mims. “You just pull that down and then let it go.” It was just twelve minutes past seven when Major Mims put bis index finger on the little | hook and, pressing it down, let it fly back again to its old’ _ position. ‘There was a whirring in the box and a little gong in it began slowly ringing and was echoed in the far distance by the deeper melody of the firealarm bells. In about one minute and thirty seconds a gong was heard rapidly clang- ing and a stream of sparks could be seen flying in the night air off toward K street. Then there was a rush and a shout and engine No. 1 dashed up to the corner. ‘The men leaped from the reel, and in less than two minutes and a half they had a line of hose out, steam was up and ‘the company were deluging Vermont avenue with a stream of water. No. 1 engine house is on K street near 16th. Meanwhile Ni pany dashed up and went into action, and was closely followed by truck B and No. 6. No. 2 came from D street near 12th and No. 6 from Massachusetts avenue and Sth street. No. arrived about three minutes after the alarm was “pulled” and No. 6 in about four minutes. Right behind No. 2 company came the police patrol wagon from the first precinct station, carrying Lieut. Amiss and thirteen officers all ready for action. The alarm called out only the engines belonging to that fire dis- trict. of five minutes there were three engines in action and an ample force of police on the ground. The test was considered highly satisfactory und Chief Parris and Assistant | Chief Lowe were complimented by every one for the proficiency shown by their department. a ROCKVILLE NEWS. ‘Work of the Grand Jury—Local Option Vio- lation Cases—Other Items.

Presentation of a Russian Decoration to President Carnot. The ceremony of presenting President Car- not with the grand cordon of the order of St. Andrew by the ezar marks an important epoch in the history of France and in the history of Russia, and is supposed to point to the actual conclusion of a formal treaty of alliance be- tween France and Russia. in Berlin official circles it is said that until recently the ezar had resisted all attempts of going beyond an en- tente cordiale with France. It was added that a draft of a treaty prepared in Paris in 1887 and approved by M. de Giers, the Grand Duke icholas, the Grand Duke Vladimer and the other chiefs of the imperial council on the par of Russia was presented to the czar,but was re- jected. This draft. it is understood, was again pre- sented to the czar after the’ last elections in this country had confirmed the permanency of a republican form of government in France, and, after being again rejected in order that some slight modification might be made, has finally received the imperialsanction. The pre- cise terms of this most important convention ara said to be unknown tothe powers forming the famous dreivund, but it is expected that ML. de Giers, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, will not long keep the matter a secret and that he will cause the governments forming the dreibund to be made aware of the main features the compact entered into between Russia and France. Whether the Rur.o-French understanding will result in cementing the peace of Europe, or whether it will tend to aggravate the drei- bund powers, are matters which the cabinets A Remarkable Painting Found. John Deery, well-known attorney and art connoisseur, of Dubuque, Iowa, has just come into possession of a remarkable picture, which was taken from the ruins of an old Spanish mission near Santa Fe, N.M. It is painted on | wood and is believed to be a work of some great master. It is evidently intended for one of the twelve stations of the cross and repre- sents Christ bowed down with his heavy bur- den, while St. Veronica has just wiped his fuce a handkerchief, leaving # faintimpression the face of the Savior. It is a remark- well-executed painting and contains over fifty figures. upon a Foreign Topics of Interest.

Consequently the Bolton Theater Company has recovered 120 pounds damages from the North- eastern railway Both the Russian ambassadors at Vienna and Berlin are in St. Petersburg in consultation with the czar. Although the Easter holiday is the pretext for absence from their posts, it has undoubtedly given rise to some anxiety in offi- cial circles.” Prince Lobanoff, the Russian am- bassador at Vienna, carried an autograph letter from the Austrian ‘kaiser to the czar. Its pur- port is not known. A Rome dispatch says that the Italian govern- ment is concerned at the growing drain on the military strength of the Kingdom, and thats measure will probably be introduced in the chambers to prevent able-bodied males from emigrating until they have served in the ranks. It is also stated that the goverument is firmly resolved to exact satisfaction for the killing of Italian subjects in America and that the state- ment of the governor of Louisiana is not satis- factory. A discussion of the court of appeals holds Justin McCarthy, Herbert Gladstone and some others liable for £7,000, due by the Irish exhi- Dwtion of 1888 to the bankers, Coutts & Co.

Sensational Developments Promised Before the Week is Out. It is evident that the New Orleans grand jury is getting into the bribery business. In fact persons in authority say with an air of mystery that there will be some sensational ¢e- velopments before the end of the week. The sensation will be doubtless the indictment of a prominent party not heretofore mentioned in connection with the unsavory part of the case. O'Malley was indicted on Monday for being an accessory before the fact of the attempting to bribe jurors. McChrystal, his accomplice, has told his master’s part in the transactions in which the prisoner figured. Many of the witnesses of the last few days have been surprised to find themselves called and protested that they knew nothing until they got into the jury room. The system of espionage extended to the witnesses for the state. Some of them were threatened and the state also learned of efforts to spirit some away. ‘The state has the advantage of coating the rel ative importance of its witnesses, while the de- fense merely guessed at their knowledge. ‘The defense, therefore, wasted considerable time on witnesses the state could well afford to spare, while the witnesses really wanted were well cared for. Anyhow, the methods of the defense were well known and thwarted at many steps, although the skill of O'Malley and hi henchmen proved eminently successful as far as the jurors were concerned. The state is now obtaining full knowledge as to the latter as well, aud the grand jury will create an inter- esting record before it finishes its work on the Hennessy case. O'Malley has not yet been brought back, although acapins has been is- sued, and it is’ likely that he will not be really sought for until the grand jury is through with the investigation. ————_+o-—____ ‘VON BOETTICHER’S LOAN. An Incident That is Raising a Deal of Ex- clitement in Germany. A special cable dispatch to Tue Stan from Berlin says: The Von Boetticher incident con- tinues to excite comment. It will be remem- bered that the doctor, who is vice president of the ministry and secretary of state for home affairs, and holds the highest post in the state after Chancellor von Caprivi, six years ago offered his resignation on account of the failure of his brother-in-law, a merchant of Dantzig, although not himself personally involved. Prince Bismarck held the doctor in such high esteem that he referred the matter to the emperor, and soon afterward a high court 1 handed the amount of his relatives’ liabilities to the home secretary (£87,500), the latter supposing, as he now declares, that it came directly from his majesty’s private purse. All over Germany the pross is criticising the action of Prince Bismarck, and referring to the statements of the Cologne Gazette, believed to be officially inspired, regarding the'administra- tion of the Guelph fund, from which the Boet- ticher donation is supposed to have been drawn by Prince Bismarck, and the alleged burning of all accounts of oxpenditure. The Borsen Zeitung says that the whole ques- tion will shortly be reopened by the emperor, and in view of the present state of public opin ion it isevident that something must be done toefface the painful impression caused by re- cent revelations. ‘To put the matter plainly it may be stated that Prince Bismarck between the years 18683 and 1890 had at his disposal 30,000,000 marks (37,500,000). Of the disbursements of this immense amount not a single item can now be traced. Owing to this new scandal it is less than ever probable that there will be any reap- proachment between the emperor and the late chaucellor, as the kaiser is said to hold the lat- ter responsible for its publication. ‘This he considers as a perfidious attempt to overthrow Dr. Yon Boetticher as having contributed to his own disgrace. ——-+0-—— THE ALLIANCE IN THE EAST. Farmers Do Not Think The Movement Will Be Successfal. ‘The Boston Heraid has dispatches from sev- eral points in New England, voicing the senti- ment of the farmers on the proposed alliance movement inthe eastern states. A dispatch from Pittsfield says it is the sentiment of the leading Berkshire county farmers that the New England tour of the alliance leaders Kyle and Simpson will be a practical failure. Henry A. Barton, jr., of Dalton, ex-master of the state grange, said to the Herald reporter: “I do not believe the state grange is at all in sym- pathy with the movement. Iam of the opin- ion that grangers generally, and I am ac- quainted with the leading members all over the state, are not in favor of the alliance. Per- sonally I do not believe it will be successful in New England.” Henry Noble of Pittsfield, an ex-member of the state board of agriculture, who hes been a leading farmer in Berkshire for nearly half a century, said: “Ido not see how New England farmers can afford to go into this thing from a political point of view or any other.” Charles A. Mills of Williamstown, a member of the present state board of agriculture, says: “Tam not in favor of the Farmers’ Alliance in New England. Any movement to make the farmers more en masse is, in my opinion, un- patriotic. All classes and professions shi work together. Ido not believe in organizing classes in this country.” Geo. Z. Dean of Cheshire, president of the Berkshire Agricultural Society, says: “I have taken much interest in this subject, and Ido not see how the alliance can be of any benefit to New England.” Leading farmers in southern Berkshire ex- ress doubt about the success of the alliance in New England. A dispatch from South Framingham in Mid- dlesex county says: “Throughout this section of the state there has developed among the farmers but very little interest in the tour of the leaders in the Farmers’ Aliiance move- ment.” One of the best informed members of the Patrons of Husbandry in that section and one who occupies a position of prominence in the councils of the state and the national grange says that he regarded the alliance movement at the west asa rope of sand, with not sufficient adhesiveness to hold together fora great length of time. “The alliance movement will never be a success in New England, he said, “where the the farmers feel well satisfied with what they are accomplizhing in and through the Patrons of Husbandry.” ~——_—_+ee— Outrages of a Drunken Mob. Adrunken mob assaulted an aged Russian couple, named Lebowsky, at their cottage, at Riverdale, N. J., last Sunday. The couple were roughly handled and their household goods were demolished by the ruffians. Not satisfied with this, the mob started upstairs for the sleeping apartment of Lebowsky’s pretty daughter. She was dragged from her bed. She ‘fought desperately aud managed to free herself. She jumped from the window and ran to the house of a neighbor, where she fell fuint- ing from fright and exhaustion. Neighbors then went to the ussistance of the old couple and succeeded in capturing several of the loafers. 2 ‘The New Bridge at St. Louis. ‘The most importanteventin St. Louisia recent years was the opening on Tuesday of the Mer- chants’ bridge and terminal railway tracks to the railroad tragic of eastern and northern lines centering in that city.

The Maryland court of appeals yesterday rendered an opinion making void the $200,000 WHERE THE STKATHAIRLY LIES. A Bleak Stretch of Sand Separated From the Mainland of North Carolina. It is difficult to imagine a more desolate coast than that upon which the unfortunate steam- ship Strathairly was wrecked, as announced in last evening's Stax. Fora hundred miles south from Cape Henry there extends a strip of sand cast up from the sea and separated from the mainland by many miles of broad salt grounds. Sometimes this strip broadens to the width of a few miles and then shrinks to a mere thread of gray sand. The inhabitants are few in number, scattered in solitary dwell- ings and withont means of communication with the world, save the occasional oyster sloop or fishing boat that, at irregular in- tervals, cruises along the sounds. Their living is derived from the sea, anc the strip is nearly barren of vegetation. On the sea side long sand bars run out and reefs abound, so that the vessel wrecked upon this coast is sure to strike at a distance from the shore and be speedily torn to pieces by the tremendous Hatteras surges that have made the vicinity the dread of navigators for a century and has strewn the white beaches with the.tim- bers of numberless vessels and the bones of countless sailors. ‘The life saving service is of the best in the country, but, owing to the character of the coast, the most useful of their appliances—the life line thrown from a gun—can rarely be awed and the crews are compelled to rely largely upon their surf boats, which they man- age to launch and land with marvelous dex- terity in the fierce surf which constantly rolls upon the beaches and bars, Communication between Norfolk and the secne of the wreck at Chichamicomico life sav- ing station is interrupted bya break of the government telegraph cable across Oregon in- let. This is an ‘arm of the sea about three miles across, just south of Kitty Hawk. All in- formation from the wreck has been brought across this break ina boat and only two trips are made a day and only then when the weather permits. An order has been sent from the agents of the line in Baltimore to forward those of the crew who were saved to that city, and they are expected to arrive at Norfolk the last of thi week, wrona full story of the wreck and its causes may be obtained from the second mato, who is among the seven who were saved. ‘The vessel was discovered abont 4:40 o'clock on Tuesday morning, tossing about high on the beach below Chichamicomico. ‘The crew of the life saving station there put out at once to the rescue. ‘Their brave and gallant work resulted in the saving of only seven of the crew. Thomas Power O'Connor to be the Head of the Company. . Articles of incorporation of “The Sun Pub- lishing Company” were filed in the county clerk's office in Jersey Cityzyesterday. The in- corporators are George E. Barnett of Newark, Carey Taylor of North Bergen and John P. O'Connor of Jersey City, and the object of the company is to establish a Sunday newsaper in London, England, and also to acquire, print, publish and circulate and otherwise deal with any newspaper or other publication. The total amount of capital stock is $150,000, which is divided into preferred and common stock. Thomas P. O'Connor, member of parliament, who was one of the Irish envoys sent to the United States before the Parnell trouble began, is the holder of the only share of preferred stock which will be issued. The preferred stock is to be entitled to ar annual dividend of 7 per cent. There will be three directors of the com- ny. The holder of the preferred stock will ve the naming of two of the directors, and he will have the right to remove them at will. ‘Thomas P.

There is a remarkable scarcity of whalebone in the market at present, says the New York Herald, and in consequence the poorest quali- ties are being disposed of at prices heretofore hardly ever realized for the best that the hardy New Bedford men could procure. Parts of bone usually discarded a few years ago are now a staple article and find ready purchasers among manufacturers. What little bone of first quality that is placed upon the market is sold at prices which will as- tonish persons not familiar with the trade. A well-known Pear! street firm disposed of several thousand pound; several days ago at 25.200 ound and a similar figure has been realized by Realers in Euro “Whalebone is getting scarcer @rery sea- son,” said an old South street whale ship boat steerer. ‘an’ pretty soon there won't be any at all. The black fish, humpbacks and sperm whales, from which most of the bone is taken, don't breed very fast. They are killed off faster than they breed and in’ consequence it is only a question of time when they will be exterminated altogether, and the . humpback will be as much a curiosity as the departed mammoth, “There's no more money in whaling for sailors,” he continued, “nor for anybody but the big concerns what’ controls a number of these newfangled steam whalers. If you don't Uclieve what I say go to New Bedford There you will see lots of vessels, brave ships once, but old hulks now, with their bones bleaching on the sands around the bay. They were driven out of the business and the sailors were driven out with them. “The whales got scarce and three or four per cent on invosted capital didu't pay experses to the owners of single ships, so they bad to give up. Only afew of the old-timers are left and I guess they wou't last much longer.” a Base Ball Notes. ‘Tho National base ball team is now in Balti- more practicing with the Orioles and getting into shape for the regular season, which begins on the 8th of April.
