Faus Cruncn, Va, March 7, 1892. A large public meeting was held this evening to meet representatives of the Washington and Arlington Electric Road Company and consider the advisability of building a line of road from this village to Fort Myer, to connect with the road already built to that point. About 100 ntlemen, representing Fairfax Court House, West End, Falls Church and the section be- tween that place and the city were prosent, and there was shown a unanimous desire upon the part of those present for the adoption of some plan to give better facilities for going to the city. 5 At present there are but three irains each day, and if any of the army of government of- ficials who live here miss the regular office train they lose a whole day’s work, for the next train would not iand them in the city until just before 4 o'clock. On the other hand, peuple desiring to pay visits to their friends out here |charges in ‘western Maryland, Penusyl are compelied to either come ont in the morn- ing and spend the day or to come out at night and stay over until the next day. In spite of these obstacles several hundred people have settled in this section, trusting that in due time they would be broaght into closer touch with the city, the scene of their daily labors. The meeting was organized by electing Mayor Hillyer chairman and E. ©. Hough secretary. Mr. N. 0. Bond of Fairfax Court House was the first speaker. It was mainly through his efforts that the meeting was ar- ranged and he stated the advantages that would follow the butiding of » road, and promised, on condition it was done, that he would move from the Court House down to Fails Church and establish a business that would give per- manent employment toa number of people, He had the assurance that capital wonld be futnished by Boston parties as soon as the place was rendered more accessible. He was followed by Mr. L. G. Johnson, an officer of the Washington and Arlington Hail- road Company, wiso stated that their road was nearly finished, their equipment had been or- dered and was already on the way and that by April 15 the cars would be running from the Aqueduct bridge to Arlington. He said that if their company took hold of the project person- they would have their care running into Falls Church by August 1. He would prefer, however, that the road should be built by Falls Church capital and gave assurance that they would be willing to enter into any fair arrange- ment for the use of their tracks from Fort Myer to the bridge. Upon closing bis remarks he introduced Mr. . T. White, one of the attorneys of the com- pany, who presented the benefits that would follow the opening up of the country. He stated what had been done in. Fredericksburg and other towns in southwest Virginia and told of the immense advantage we Lad over that section by being within reach of the only city in the country whose destiny must ever needs be onward, for, as the heart of a great nation, it would reflect the growth of thut nation ia whatever direction it might prosper. Mr, Wm. Douglass of Ballston spoke for the intervening section of country. He said he had cunvassed very thoroughly and found about 120 people living within one mile of Ball- ston who would use the road daily, and be was almost sure that they would have no trouble in securing the right of way. ‘To form some practical basis of future oper- ations » committee consisting of Messrs, J. E- Febrey, J. W. Hawxhurst, M. E, Church, Wm. Douglas and. V. Proudfit was appointed. They are to confer with the officers of the Washing- ton and Arlington Railroad Company and re- port the conclusions of their deliberations at a meeting to be held here one week from to- night ee GEORGETOWN. ABRESTED FoR ASSAULT. Officer Easley, whosees that the nights of the Tenleytown citizens are respected, brought to the station last night a white man named Keely, who looked as if his face had been through a dull mince-meat machine. The offi- cer explained that the prisoner had entered the house of Mr. Geo. Dixon, an aged resident of Tenleytown, and attempted to assault him. Some young men of the neighborhood arrived it time to turn the tables on the would-be as- saulter and teach him a perhaps useful lesson. AGAINST OBSTRUCTING THE RIVER. A prominent citizen sad this morning. in speaking of the proposed construction of the Washington, Fairfax and Alexandria road, that delegations had been sent down to the proper authorities year after year to oppose all pro- jects having for their object the obstruction in any way of the Potomac below the town, and, while the present bill does not say on its face that the river wili be obstructed, yet it was the en's opinion that thespoken-of ferry would eventually develop into # bridge which would kill the entre shipping trade of the place. ‘THE CATTLE MARKET. ‘The sales reported at the Arlington cattle yards yesterday were as follows: Cattle, 3 to 43¢ cents a pound; lambs, 6 to7 cents; sheep, 4 to 6 cents; bulla, 2 to 2% cent $20 to $60 ahead.

Aquarrel occurred between Chas. B. Bos- well, county commissioner for Prince George's county, and Jon. M. Kenrick in Piscataway, Md., on Saturday night. Kenrick, it is stated, struck Boswell on the bead with « heavy cane, felling bim to the ground in aa insensible con- dition. Dr. Hurtt was called in and extracted fragments of the frontal bone. He is said to have very slight hopes of bis patient's re- covery. +0 Liberals Ahead in the London Council. ; | been indefinitely postponed. Early last week & circular was sent to each of the fistic gentry acquainting them of the fight and inviting them to bring their friends, The circular opened with a warning that it was to be kept strictly confidential. Some of them evidently fell into the hands of the enemy, for when the party steamed up to the wharf of Kock Hill Park. on the upper Potomac, where the fight was to take place, Sheriff Veach of Alexandria county was on hand with a posse of deputies, and coolly informed the sporte that the first man who landed would be arrested. He re- treated from his position, however, and allowed theboattoland. Fifty passengers crowded up the gangway, but they could go no further. ‘The sheriff barred their progress.and,although the party pleaded and cajoled, he was inexora- ble, and after an hour spent in fruitless talk the party again boarded the steamer and made for ihe big ice house of the Independent Iee Com- pany, which is located a short distance above the Aqueduct bridge. Tho ring was being pitched. when the arrival of « couple of Lieut Swindell’s men put an end to all preparations. It was a disgusted crowd that boarded the boat again, and one of the principals, who appeared to have the nmnazement of the affair, sug- gested a postponement. So the boat made its way back to the starting point, where » hundred or more sports were in waiting for the return of the boat, which was to earry them to the battle grounds. Many of the would-ie spectators were getting very tired and when the boat was made inst hurried home. after the arrival of the boat a loud- 1d young man cried out that he would guarantee a fight, and many halted to Lear the hew arrangements. If there is one thing neces- sary to a prize fight it is the prosence of the two principals. Search, however, disclosed but one; Farrell could not be found. He bad footed it from the ice house to the city when he found that there was not going to bea fight. By this time the crowd was very mad and lost no time in dispersing. It is understood that the fight will take pluce in several daysato Point down the river. gute eet ANACOSTIA, A MASONIC BANQUET. Mr. Martin H.

Berry, the English public executioner, bas felt called upon to resign, owing to the issuing of a recent order authorizing medical officers of prisons to decide as to the length of drop required at executions. In a letter to the home secretaryehe says: **My reason for resicning is on account of Dr. Barr's interfering with my responsible duty at Kirkdale j.il, Liverpool, on my last execution there. I shall there- fore withdraw iny name as being executioner to Enix: land. Your obedient servant, “JAMES BERRY, “*Late Executioner Engiand.” Berry, who has hanged 200 criminals, says that he will this week begin a lecturing tour in England, the subject being “Capital Punish- ment in America.” He adds that he has al- ready received a handsome guarantee for twenty lectures. His experience as public hangman will also be embodied in a volume which will be published shortly. regard to his professional career there are two points on which Berry especially prides himself. These are the having secured the abolition of the steps that formerly led to the scaffold, and which he claims mflicted unneces- sary sufferings upon criminals, and the addi- tion of a spring to prevent the rebounding of the flaps of the scaffold. Personally, Berry is a strong opponent of capital punishment and expresses the hope that he may live to see it abolished. ——_—_+6e Acquittal of Dr. Baker. ‘The second trial of Dr. J. A. P.

Florence's Codicil Not to Be Foun The much-talked-of codicil to tho will of the late Actor Florence, which his brother, Edward B. Conlin, who is contesting the will, says is in existence, cannot be found. The dead man’s brother, Police Inspector Conlin, took the stand when the hearing was resumed yesterday in New York. He testified that he had examined the private papers of his deccased brother and that the codicial was not found among them. He did fiud an envelope dated May 11, 1382, and marked “Last will and testament of Mr. and Mrs. Florence.” The will offered for probaie is dated Muy 5, 1876. Conlin’s lawyer reiterated his statement that the will of 1876 was not the true will of tho actor. He said there was later will revoking the first,and de- mandod to have the will in the envelope read. ‘The opposing counsel, Mr. Fettevich, declined to comply with the demand on the ground that one of the wills was that of « living person, Mr. Underhill took no cognizance of the alleged later will, because no evidence of its genuineness was offered, hu said.

The bill of Mr. Arnot, who is a banker of Elmira, sets forth that he is the owner of 100 shares of stock of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- road Company of the par value of $50 per share, and is also the owner of 100 shares of the stock of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company of the par value of $50 per share. The bill then goes on to sot forth the charac- ter of the corporations named in the Dill; re- counts the particulars of the so-called Reading deal, by which the interests of the Lebigh Val- ley aud the other companies are leised to the Reading company, and alleges that the plaintiff iy of the opinion that the agreement between the Reading compauy aud the Lohigh Valley is ultra viries, and if allowed to stand it will be prejudicial to his interests and will work bim | Trreparabie in and that the agreemont | Railroad Company of New Hi and the Port Keading Railroad Com- pany, 80 far as said agrcement is in relation to cts the said Lehigh and Susquehauna railroad and its brauches, is also ultra viries, and if allowed to stand it will be prejudicial to his interests and will work him irropuruble in- jury.

The alleged interstate arrangement, the proprietors pro- fessed to believe, left no room for prosecution under the Illinois anti-pool-selling law. ‘The eager speculators caught in the raid were from all walks of life.

THE EIDER LIFTED, An Attempt to Be Made Next Weck to Float the Wrecked Ocean Lincr. After having been stranded on the Atherfield Ledge, Isle of Wight, for over a month the first Practical effort to float the North German Lloyd steamer Eider was mado yesterday. All the cargo was got out of the forward part of the ship, but it was impossible to work in the after part, owing to the fact that the stern had settled vory deep in the water. Asshe was lifted off the rock today the water immediately rushed in in a great volume through the holes in her bottom that had proviously been stopped by the jagged points of rock that bad origi- nally caused the damage. All the wreckers’ pumps were worked to their fullest capacity, but the water gained steadily atthe rate of three inches per hour. Tho wrecking crews built temporary bulkbead to prevent the water from entering the after atoke- ole. The water was then pumped out of this stokehole and fires were started. ‘This onabled the pumps of the steamer to be ised in confunetion with the wreckers’ pumps, and it fs hoped that they together will be ublo to pump faster than the inflow and thus greatly lighten the steamer. ‘The highest tides of tho year will prevail next week, and an attempt will then be made to tow the Eider off ¢ lodge.
