He Never Thought of Marrying Miss Cora ‘Van Tassel. Mr. Charles W. Slater, the son of Mr. Jobn G. Slater of this city, who was alleged in a press dispatch yesterday to have been married to Miss Cora Van Tassel, a young actress who played an engagement at the Lyceum Theater here last week, today made an emphatic denial of the story. Young Mr. Slater etated toa Star reporter that he met the young lady on the night of the late election. ‘I was introduced to Miss Van Tassel,” explained Mr. Slater, “‘at the theater by Mr. Mills, the manager of the com- pany. I called upon herseveral times and found the young lady very agreeable and entertain- ing, but I never had the slightest inten- tion of forming any matrimonial alliance with Miss Van Tassel. I did not take ber to supper, and I am sure that netther had any intention of forming more than a pleasant acquaintance- Tam at » loss to understand how the story originated, unleas, a has been suggested by my friends, it was done for advertising pur- poses, and even then I acquit Mise Van Tassel of any connection with both me and my family ina v MR.

One Prisoner Can Be Thankful That Sen-|A Year's Progress for Which Members of tence Was Suspended. ‘William Butler, a colored man who reached the city last evening, and had butcher knife in his pocket, was the first prisoner to appea before Judge Miller this morning. Concealed weapons was the charge against him, and he pleaded not guilty. “I didn’tateal the knife,” he said. “I bought ft at a store on the road.” ‘What road?” “Where are you from?” “I came from Baltimore,” answered the Prisoner, ‘and bought the knife on the road at ® country store.” ‘Did you come over on a train?” I wi over and then got on the train.” “At what station did you get on the train?” “Greenboro’,” he answered. “There's no such place on the railrosd,”” in- terrupted Policeman Brady. “I think you got the knife froma country store,” said the ju “T think you saw the knife and did not see the proprietor. What did you want with such a kni ‘I follow the water,” answered the prisoner, ‘and thought I would come here and go in the navy.” «Where do you live?” “Glymont, Charles county, Md.” “and I you navigate the waters of Smith's creek.” Judge Miller said he thought the knife was stolen, but there was no direct proof of that fact. ‘Sentence was suspended in the case and the prisoner was releases, Tn another case of concealed weapons Howard Herndon. a colored boy, was defendant.

Ruth Rebekah Degree Lodge, No. 2, was vie ited by the officers of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at their | place of meeting in the 7th strect hall, north- | west, last evening. Having been formally in- troduced, the grand master, Mr. Crawshaw, nounced that the object of their presence was to pay the lodge not only an official, but also a fraternal visit. The noble grand, Sister Harlan, responded, and in behalf of her colleagues ex- tended to the visitors a cordial welcome. The exemplification of this branch of the order was then proceeded with and it was rendered in a Very satisfactory manner, The reports of,! Grand Secretary Hunt showed that the books | and accounts are kept in # systematic manner ‘and that the finances are in a healthy condition. The strictly oficial portion of the program ba ing been completed the fraternal and social feature followed, during which interesting re- marks were made by Sisters Kessler, Harla Royce and Pierson and Brothers Keck, Pierson sud Sparo of Ruth Lodge, Past Grand Rose of Indiana, Sisters Frazee of New York, Matthews aud Allan of Naomi Lodge, No. 1, Cornwell of | Martha Washington Lodge, No. 8, Grand Rep-| resentatives Allan and Stier, Grand Secretary Hunt, Grand Marshal Sorrell, Grand Warden Mead and G 1 fail to be productive of good results.

The visitation scheduled to take place on Tuesday evening next at Golden Rule Lodge, | No. 21, has been postponed until December 1$ on account of the Grand Lodge officers going with Federal City Lodge, No. 20, to Baltimore on that evening to visit Independence Lodge, No. 77.

Hall. oe Son ame ALEXANDRIA, CITY COUNCIL MEETING. The attendance at the meeting of the city council last night was barely more than a quorum, and as two-thirds is needed for the completion of any new business of importan no new matter could be carried through. The ordinance reducing the price of gas. previously introduced, was adopted. The school board notified the council that the terms of office of Messrs. Aitcheson, Harrison, Chapman and Smith were expired. It was agreed to postpone the election on the understanding that these trustees continue in office until their successors shall be appointed. A communica- tion of the mavor on the eubject of the pa; ment of the bill of Mr. W. P. Graves for pro- visions, &c., furnished the smallpox schooner ‘Strann last summer, and 0 in reference to fire escapes was referred. and the applications of Dr. Joseph L. Sanferd for the position of physician of the poor and to fila vacancy, and of James Hepburn to be appointed janitor of the market building, vice Nightengill, deceased, were ordered to be placed cn file. The next meeting of the board will take place on the sec- ond Tuesday in December. THANKSGIVING DAY, Alexandria apparently gave much more thanks on last Tuesday night than it did today, notwithstanding that most of the churches were open and had fair congregations. The services at St. Mary's Church and Christ Church, ta Lutheran Church and the union meeting at the M. E. Church South took place this morning. Those at Grace P. E. Charch and Trinity M. Church will take place tonight. ‘The schools were all closed. as was the corn exchange and the banks and the post office, and the telephone offices kept Sunday hours. Many Alexandrians visited Washington, and there was some social observance of the day here. FIRE ESCAPES PROPOSED. The state law relative to fire escapes, to which Mayor Strauss called the attention of the city council Jast night, requires all factories, assembly halls, &c., more than three stories in height to be provided with fire escapes. The law has never been enforced here, and many citizens think it is not needed and is likeiy to require useless expenditures on the part of per- sons who may come to establish manufactories. The only building now in town which has » fire escape is the old cotton factory on Wathington street, which has been diaused for many years. NOTES. Alexandria will be largely represented in Washington at the democratic procession next Friday evening. ‘The ordinance which passed the city council fast night reduces. the ‘price of gas from $1.60 per 1,000 feot to $1.50 per 1,000 feet, but it makes the discount for prompt payment only 5 per cent instead of 10 per cent, as here- tofore. ‘The most recent sales of real estate have been two houses with small lots on Queen street, op- posite the court hone, for €1,000, and a honse emphatic a denial of it as I possibly can.” Thanksgiving Day in the Catholic Charches.

During the year a new Lutheran church, the Keller Memorial Church, a mission of the Memorial Lutheran Church, 14th street and Vermont avenue, has been established at 9th and Maryland avenue northeast, and Thanke- giving day services were conducted there today by Rev. C. H. Butler, pastor. As the church is not entirely completed services were held in the chapel. The Luthern Church year closed in October last and the progress reported was very gratify- ing, especially in the District. The matter at- tracting the greatest attention in Lutneran cir- cles at present is the question of the removal of the Lutheran Seminary from Gettysburg, Pa, to this city. Several desirable sites here have been offered. and it is probable that the matter will be finally decided in a few months, and decided in favor of the removal of the seminary to Washington. There is some oppo- sition, however, to its removal from Gettys- burg, and at the recent Lutheran convention one of the delegates, a reverend doctor of phil. osophy, wely objected because, us he ex- plained, the national capital would in time be removed from Washington to Gettysburg and Washington would remain but the gateway of Gettysburg. —— GEORGETOWN.
