Lee, was held in their hall, 910 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, last evening and proved tobe ‘© meeting of unusual interest. After satisfactory reports from various committees the electicn of officers was in order and a friendly spirit of rivalry was manifested from the outset. There were those present who, while not dissatinfied with the administration of the retiring officers, thought that » thorough reorganization would inure to the benefit of the association and at the same time obviate the precedent of estab- lishing rotation in office. Mr. Wm. Harmon was nominated for presi- ident by Mr. Whittington Hammett, which was seconded by Mr. Alex Hunter in a warm appeal to make the first vice president president for the next year, an honor he was entitled to by virtue of his position ax “next in order." Others also seconded the nomination. Maj. Robt. W. Hunter was nominated by Mr. Hugh \ ree and ite nomination seconded in. stirring spec! mator funton, who deprecated establishing. the precedent of rote tion in office and thought his friend Maj. Hun- ter would, without disparagement to others, be a man for the place. Upona bailot Hunter was elected by « handsome msjor- and the election was, by motion of Mr. Har- mon, made unanimous amid applause. Upon taking hix official position Maj. Hunter made 4 felicitous speech, promising his best efforts for the good of the axsociation. The other officers elected, consisting of the leading frien dg of both presidential candidates, were: First vice president, Thomas J. Luttrell; second vice president, Julian G. Moore; secre- tary, Thomas W. Hungerford; treasurer, Rob- ert M. Harover; executive committee, Magnus 8. Thompson, chairm . E. Storm, James D. Darden, Hugh Waddell and H.

Henry Davis is the name of a man who was for » long time a regularly commissioned apecial policeman, He has been in trouble more than once because of an apparent fondness for fire- arms, and today he was in Judge Miller's court asaprisoner, the trouble resulting from the presence of a pistol in his pocket a week ago, when he had some difficulty in Wheeler's sa- Joon. Davis got in trouble several months ago for drawing a pistol on Special Officer Lrocken- borough and the Commissioners relieved him of his commission, taking bis badge from him. Although the badge was taken from him Davis continued to carry his pistol and black- Jack, as he was still in the employment of citi- zens. ‘Thursday night of Inst week he went to Wheeler's saloon, 1016 Rhode Island avenne, and, according to his own statement, he took one drink of whisky and_ blackberry and bought a piece of tobacco, Then he sat down by the stove to get warm. When the clock struck 12 and the bartender wanted to close the place he usked Davia to leave. The latter was in no hurry to get out. and when Jos. Lane, the bartender, started him out there was trouble. ' Davis, it was claimed, drew his pistol ou Lane and the latter took it from him. Davis then went out, but he returned in a short while and drew his blackjack. Lane knocked him do’ and fired one shot from the revolver. Davis’ head was injured and he claimed that it was done by the bullet. Davis claimed that Lane wrenched the blackjack from his pocket. Special Officer Brockenborough gave evi- dence. He appeared upon the scene when the trouble was over, and he said that Davis was under the influence of hquor, Judge Miller said that under the law Davis had a right to have the weapon and he would nave to diymiss the charge of concealed weapons, There was a charge of disorderly conduct against him and on that charge a fine of $20 or sixty days was imposed. ee ALEXANDRIA. THE LEE BIRTHNIGHT BANQUET. The observance of the anniversary of the birth of Gen. Robert E. Lee was closed last night by a banquet of Lee Camp, C. V., at Brili's Opera House restaurant. The appetites of the company were complimentary to the menu, which was of the best. The eentiment of the feast was represented by seven toast “Robert E. Lee,” to which Comrade J. M. Johnson responded; “Our artillery,” which was boomed br Comrade C. 8. Taylor, jr.; “Our navy,” whose course was pointed out by Com- rade Capt. Sam'l Davis, and “Our infantry,” for whom Comrade T. H. Ficklin answered roll call. Comrade Bedford Brown, .M. ., responded to the tonst “Conted- erate surgeon,” and Comrade Thomas Perry to the toast “Confederate prisoners, ” as did Commander S. G. Brent to the toast to “The sons of confederate veterans.” Comrade Edgur Warfield then read Gen. Lee's farewell address to the army at Appomttox. After Com- rade Will Adams had made a humorous reci:a- tion the sentiment ¢ook a sadder view, and the veterans drank standing and in silence u toast “To the memory of those who have crossed the | Tiver since inst we met,” and after a vote of | thanks to the caterer completed the celebra- tion, FIRE AND WATER AT HOTEL FLEISCHMAN. The second ward alarm, about 8 o'clock last night, pecled out for a fire at Hotel Fleischman, Flames had been discovered in the garret making their way under the roof and, after sev- the spreading fire without carrying the hose drown out the incipient conflagration with abundance of water. Water will not stay in the garret’ when it can get down into the cellar, and it is not_par- ticular as to its route, und while the Hotel Fleischman was ‘saved ‘from fire above, the water which came down through the ceilings after doing the work was uot received with thanks. ‘Tue fire damage was light, the water damage considerabie. Less than ‘$1,000 will, however, cover all losses. It is supposed that a | defect in some of the chimney flues started the | blaze. The firemen worked well and did good service.

Yesterday morning was perhaps the coldest day we have had in this section for twenty years, by far at least since 1881, ‘The mercury fell to 10 degrees below zero all through this section and remained at that point until 8 o'clock, when the few rays of the sun began to peer through the clouded sky. The tempera- ture then took a rise and went up to 20 degrees above. It stands at that point today. The snow at noon is melting a little under the bright rays of the sun, which has shown brighter and warmer than for several days since the cold weather set in and the ground has been so hard frozen. Many wellsin this section have gone dry and in some places it is difficult to obtain water for private use. Live stock have to be watered from the branches. The ground, it is thought, is frozen twelve inches deep, so even should it do away with this snow and break up the freeze and ice. It is feared that much property will be destroyed when the ice begins ‘to break up. Never since 1850 has there been seen so much ice on the bay. The bosom of the Chesapeake from shore to shore one solid sheet of ice and it presents an appearance similar to so much white musiin stretched out as faras the eye can reach. In some places the ice is 5 feet thick, and at the mouth of some of the rivers that empty | into the bay it is piled ap in 10 feet thick, forming smail icebergs. ‘Thousands of bushels of oysters, it is said, will be carried away into the ocean with the ice as it breaks up. It is thought many beds have been frozen and totally ruined in the Patuxent river. Many oyster boats are still frozen in the ice and can- not free themselves. Several boats have been seen flying distress signals by day and burning lights by night for assistance, but they cannot be reached. Should this cold weather con- tinue the people in the extreme southern part of Calvert county will undoubtedly suffer to some extent in the way of getting food from Baltimore. They live 65 miles from this sta- tion, which is their nearest railroad station, unless they walk or drive across the Patuxent Tiver and go to some of the lower stations on this rond. “There are no bridges on the river [south of here, but people can walk or drive across on the ice. No steamers or boate of any kind are running and ut present there are no rospects of their going there to carry freight. The Baltimore and Potomec railroad is their only mcans of getting goods, for which they will soon be in pressing need. No suffering has as yet been reported in that section among the inhabitants, but it is believed it cannot be avoided “if this weather continues, This demonstrates the fact that the people of that section need a railroad. If there were a line in operation now it would do a great business, ns 1 traffic on the bay and rivers has been sus- pended. People on Solomon's Island and around Prince Frederick, thirty-five and sixty- fivo miles. respectively, from here, having business in Baltimore and Washington are com- pelled to drive to this «tation to take the train.

Senator Lodge = Descendant of Senator Ca- elected to the seat which his great grandfather, George Cabot, filled a century ago. He was elected in 1791 to serve until 1796. His grand- son's term will expire in 1899, so that there will be three years in the two centuries when the great grandfather and the great grandson will have been wearing the same toga with a century between them. if Th Boston have accepted the Lodge clection generally aaa, matter of course, and have fewcomments. The Herald, i mt, is the exception, and bas this to eay under the caption “An 0; tunity.” Hon. Hen Gabor Lodge has Teceived a date to act = the people of Massachusetts for the next six years. In taking the office of Senator it will be with the affirmation on his part to fulfill the duties to the best of his ability and to observe, Protectand defend the Constitution of the nited States. He is elected not as the mere puppet of a state, party or a faction, but 49 a man who will while in office exer- cise This own judgment and guided by | ‘an honest consideration of questions arrive at conclusions which seem to him calculated to Promote the welfare of the country. It is not necessary now as it has been in the past to con- sider before the first session of the House of Representatives is over whether his constitu- ents are ready to immediately re-elect him. | He can now, if he will, take the time required to build up a reputation for stateemanhip. For six years he is his own master, and can in that | time demonstrate by favoring not transient popular whims, but sound principles of gov- ernment, whether he is to deserve a renewal of yublic favor. He has now his opportunity, We ope and trust he will prove worthy of it.” WAR WITH THE COUNC:L. There is war between Gov. Russell and his council. At the meeting in the executive chamber yesterday the council, led by David Hall Rice, passed a resolution taking from the governor the appointment of 5} com- mittees. Gov. Russell protested, but the council, which he wished to abolich, paid no attention to him whatever. Lieutenani Governor Roger Wolcott was present, but did not stand with the governor. The democratic papers all declare this morning that the gauntlet is thrown down and there will be war to the knife. Sumas! eed ce A Novel Book Case. From the Interior Decorator. Avery artistic Xnd attractive corner book case is made in antique vak, with a low casing containing three curtained shelves, surmount- ing a receptacle in the base for holding pam- phlets, £c., and capped by an overstructure of paneled wood, extending from the extreme sides into the angle, the corner itself being filled by a httle cupboard with glass doors and shelves for bric-a-brac. The whole effect is very pretty, and offers a novel method of filling the unsightly corner so hard to dispose of in modern dwellings. The panels are sometimes completed by oil paintings on the wood, appropriate to the situ tion, and the spaces between filled with semi. circular brackets for holding vases or statuettes. The superstructure may be capped by a narrow molding just wide enough to support a plaque in the angle and on the two sides, ——_e. Mars. From Judge.
