The Attendance Was Not Very Large, bat There Was no Limit to the Oratory—Subjects Discussed. The regular monthly meeting of the Northeast Citizens’ Association at Lipp's Hall, lth and H streets northeast, lust evening, was not largely attended, owing to the very unfavorable weather, only the fol- lowing members being present: W. J. Friz- zell, Loring Chappel, N. L. King, S. Sower- butts, W. C. Ricks, W. O, Mills, Evan Hi. Tucker, A. J. Boyer, J. Colvin, A. H. F. Holston, and E. Q. Gunson. ‘While the attendance was small, the ab- sence of members, however, was more than compensated for by the presence of un- Umited and at times inharmonious ¢lo- quence. Mr. Loring Chappel, chairman of the committee on streets, avenues and al- leys, stated that the committee had culled upon the District Commissioners, and con- sulted with them respecting the schedule of improvements submitted for their con- sideration. The needs of the northeastern section were forcibly but respectfully sented, but unfortunately remarks not germane to the subject were uttered at the time. The remarks were unfortunate, but they were not uttered by the committee. He believed that it would not do for the as- sociation to be known as @ set of chronic grumblers, as it had been reported to be. Mr. Chappel spoke for about an hour, and among other things said that while the president of the association had invited him to drive Commissioner Powell about the northeastern section the captain and the president had, however, taken the drive without him. }_Mr. H. H. Martin, in speaking upon a motion to accept the verbal report of Mr. Chappel, said he wished to say a word in reference to the very remarkable and ex- ceedingly rambling remarks of Mr. Chap- pel. For one he had been unable to dis- cover just what the gentleman meant to say. It seemed to him thatthe most he had said referred to the failure of Capt. Powell to accept a ride with Mr-Chappel. Capt. Powell undoubtedly had the right to drive about in his own carriage on a tour inspection. The gentleman could just weil have said in ten minutes what he had taken nearly an hour to say. Forone be would in the future stoutly oppose such actions and remarks. The remarks of Mr. Chappel, in so much as they referred to the visit alone of the committee to ghe Commissioners, were finally adopted. Water, Lights and Sewers. The committee on water, lights and sew- ers made @ report, concluding as follows: “Your committee unanimously indorse the suggestion contained in Capt. Derby's re- cent report to the District Commmissioners to the effect that Congress be urged to authorize the issuing of bonds to the amount of several millions of dollars, to be expended exclusively upon the thorough complefion of the sewerage system of this city, considering, as this committee does, that no one improvement in the District 15 so greatly needed as 18 this of the pertece tion of what is now a very imperfect sys- tem of sewerage.” ‘On the motion of Mr. N. L. King all of the report except that which referred to the loan of several millions was adopted, and the matter of the loan was latd over until the next meeting of the association. Mr. Cece a from, the commit tee on m by Congress, reported that Sepator Sherman had intro: duced @ bill, prepared by the associa! which, if it became @ law, would compel the B. and O. railroad to consolidete and elevate its tracks. The Serator had writ- ten the committee, expressing his approval of the bill, and it would soon be introduced in the House. A report of the committee accompanying the bill was as follows: Report on Railroads.

This railroad under existing conditions is an unnecessary nuisance, is a blight to the city, and an enemy to its citizens. It deprives the public of the use of several tm- portant streets and avenues, which it oc- cupies to the exclusion of all other traffic, and many others which cannot-be crossed owing to its non-conformity to grade, and jeopardizes the life and limb of those who are compelled to cross and recross it in pursuing thetr datly avocations.

An view of the foregoing facts, and pur- suant to an article of the constitution which cites as one of the objects of the as- sociation the removal of all grade cross- ings from the section, your committee are of the opinion that immediate and vigor- ous action should be taken to procure such legislation as will settle this vexatious question, eliminate grade crossings, and give to the public the free use of the streets and avenues which are unlawfully occu- fed and obstructed, and accordingly we Rave “undertaken the task of dratung a bill which we propose to have introduced in Congress at as early a date as practic- able, hoping thereby to facilitate legisla- tion’on this question. In dealing with @ question where such diversity of opinion exists, and where there are so many conflicting interests, it is not to be expected that we could form late a plan which would meet with the ap- probation of ail; but, impressed with the conviction that each of those opposing in- terests will be willing to concede some- thing toward the general welfare, your committee, with the assistance of the chair- man of the committee of steam raflroads, and in compliance with the unanimous wishes of the association as expressed in resolution of February 27, 1893, have pre- pared a bill which is designed to relieve the northeast of all grade crossings, to re- move the main stem branch, which, by not conforming to the established grade, pre- vents the improvement of our streets and the building up of a large portion of the section, and to furnish increased terminal facilities. Having before us numerous measures which have been proposed within the past ten years for the settlement of this ques- tion, some of which, though they contain excellent plans, owing to conflicting it strenuous objections, believe that the provisions of the abo mentioned bill, based upon conclusions reached after considering the history of this question, and afver careful delibera- Hon im regard to future needs, will meet with the approval of a large majority of those interested and will reduce the objec- tions to the minimum, and if carried into effect will Insure the rapld improvement, development and advancement of the north- east section, and conduce to the happiness and prosperity of its inhabitants A School House Wanted. A motion of Mr. King thet the Commis- sioners be requested to include in next year's estimates an {item for the erection of an eight-room school house north of I street and between ist and 8th northeast, was referred to the committee on schools. Mr. H. F. Holston moved that the etion participate as a body in the Capitol corner stone centennial celebration, but it appearing that most of the members would partictpate in the celebration as embers of other organizations, Mr. Hol- on withdrew the motion. Mr. A. J.

Mr. Boyer also claimed that the report was hastily adopted, without due time for de- bate and deliberation.

ALEXANDRIA, The Storm in Alexandria. Alexandria last night shared with the other cities on the Atlantic coast the e! fects of the storm that swooped in from the sea, Although there was no specially great injury, yet the harm done was so seneral as to include fully one-half of the buildings and lots in the city. Hunreds of chimneys | lost _@ portion of their bricks, and some were tumbled from top to vottom. It is estimated that $1,500 of brickwork will be required to repair all the damages of this kind. Shutters and signs, too, suffered largely, and few trees bore at sunrise this morning all the limbs that they showed at sunset last evening. Many trees were blown down and dislocated the pavements in their neighborhood. The river, too, was swelled by the storm and overflowed into the lower ends of the streets, entirely cov- ering some of the wharves, and chis morn- ing the Alexandria and Washington ferry boats were prevented from imuking their early trips. Fire on Wolfe Street. During a lull in the storm about /1 o'clock last night the bells sounded the fire alarm of the first ward, and the frame tenement of the Widow Bateman on Wolfe street near Union was found to be on fire. The exterior of the building was so wet by the Fain that the fire scarcely came outside at all, but the interior was gutted by the flames. The house was the property of | Capt. A. J.

When the members of the Washington Light Infantry reached their armory last night it would be safe to say that there was netther salt nor sand on any of them from the baths they had indulged in at Atlantic City. Nature deprived them of the neces- sity of washing either these seaside remem- brances or the dust and dirt of travel from their faces. They were undoubtedly re- freshed, but their last bath was not so de- sirable ‘as many wished it, and ft interfered somewhat with the welcome which {t wes intended should be given the returning sol- diers by the residents of the’city. The rain storm had not besun in earnest until a few moments before the train arrived, and con- sequently the depot of the Pennsy! railroad was crowded with the friends, rel tives and sweethearts of the infantry. portion of the escort was drawn up just outside the iron work which separates the depot proper from the train. shed, and served as a guard to keep the pub and allow room for the troops to march out to the street. ‘The train was on time to the minute, but & moment before it ran into the shed the heavens opened and poured forth such @ torrent as is seldom seen in this city. The rain continued all the evening, and all through the march up the avenue to the armory at 15th and E streets the downpour lasted. Every one of the men and the es- cort were drenched to the skin. The in- fantry had several cars attached to the regular train from Philadelphia, due at 8:13 n. When it arrived a number of friends who had been to Atlantic City with the company were the first to leave, while the soldiers fell in in columns of four, with Maj. Moore at the head. As they marched through the train shed they made a pictur- esque appearance. Every member of the company was decorated in some fashion or other. In the end of each gun was a small United States flag, while on the k were stuffed animals, a “little y: being one of the most popular emblems of the encampment. Hearty Receptio When the infantry reached the ave from 6th street the blaze of fireworks began and continued incessantly all along the line of march. The effect of the colored lights in the pouring rain, the efforts of the band to overcome the elements and the Ine of soaked soldiers was rather weird. The re- turning infantry reviewed the escort at the avenue and 6th street, and then the march continued to the armory witheut inciden When the boys were safely under roof they made a rather sorry appearance, but, never- theless, none of their ardor was dampened, and one could not find a single one who was | not ready to speak in the most glowing terms of the good times they had had and the courtesy of all with whom they had been brought in contact. At the armory Maj. Moore made a short speech, in which he cordially thanked the escort, which consisted of the stay-at-home members of the infantry, the War Depart- ment Guards and the Columbia Division, No. 8, Knights of Pythias, for thelr courtesy in spite of the elements. He also thank the members of the returned infantry for their good behavior and discipline in camp. Many of the members then went home, but for those who desired something for the inner man there was plenty of it in the rooms of the infantry above the armory. ue geass ‘The Charges Dismissed. This morning John F. Atzell, a saloon keeper at 1219 New York avenue northwest, was charged under the act of the late legislative assembly approved June 2%, 1573, regulating sales in restaurants, eating houses, bar rooms, ‘et: with refusing to sell Henry Snell and Wm, H. Barker, two colored men, a drink of whisky on the 122th instant because of their color. The men testified that they went into Mr. Atzell's saloon on the afternoon of that day, and, when they ordered drinks, the bartender refused to accommodate them, saying that they did not serve colored people there. Testimony was also offered tending to show that the complaining witnesses were well behaved and respectable person: Max Reguer, Mr. Atzcll’s bar keeper, stated that Barker and Snell came in the saloon about 8 p.m., and Barker asked for whisky for himself and Snell. Witne: believing that Snell was intoxicated re- fused to serve him bec: e of his condition. Mr. Atzell had never directed him to serve colored people, and witness had never re- fused them. In fact he had served many of them. Atzell and a number of other witnesses testified to the same effert. and Prosecuting Attorney Mason N. Richard- son remarking that he would not claim a conviction, Judge Kimball promptly dis- missed both charges. — Fell From a Car.

The “Senators” Won a Good Game From the Browns, Premature Reports About New Play- ers—Manager Schmels in Philagel— phia—What Mr. Wagner Says. WASHINGTON WON. St. Louls Was the Victim im Yester- day's Game. The new arrangement of players, Wise on second and Farrell at third, was too big @ combination for the St. Louis visitors to get away with, although it required fourteen innings for the local club to pull the game out of the fire. Wise and Farrell put @ great deal of confidence in the team and besides took care of almost everything that came into their territory. Captain O'Rourke displayed considerable shrewd- ness in going behind the bat and placing McGuire on first as it permitted the play- ing of the best men in their strongest po- sitions. Maul occupied the box for Wash- ington and Gleason twirled for the visitors, the latter having @ shade the better of the argument. The fielding of both teams was on the sensational order, keeping the run- ners from crossing the home plate and er- Fors doing but little damage ‘wo games were to have bee! % but the length of the first and ae tore: runner of the great storm made it neces- sary to call the second game at the end of the third inning. On the visitors’ side the features were the batting of Fielder Frank, who made five hits out of that many times at the bat, and the fielding of Short Stop Ely, whose plays bord on the phenomenal. It is to be hoped that Captain-Manager O'Rourke will see his way clear to the continuance of the exchange of positions by him and McGuire.

Her Superiority Was Due to Her Tobin Bronze Bottom. With its attendant races, the New York yacht club's cruise, from which so much was hoped and expected in the way of sport and information about the new cup de- fenders, is a thing of the past, says a writer in the Boston Globe, and @ careful study of it fails to find much sport, and finds really less information. The thing which seems to stand out most prominent- ly in the way of information is that @ bot- tom of Tobin bronze on a racing yacht is far superior to one of steel. Just what problem in yacht designing 4s thereby solved it is hard to see, for the smoothness of Tobin bronze over steel has long been admitted, and its use has been simply a question of money, if it should turn out, as now appears likely, that a yacht needs a Tobin bronze bottom to be Selected for the defense of the America cup, then the sport of yacht racing has been made more than ever @ rich man’s sport, and the possibilities of the honor of cup defense have been placed beyond the means of any one man or syndicate of men unless they have millions back of them from which the thousands drawn for the boat will look very small. In the case of the Vigtiant, the cup de- fender backed by the Morgan-Iselin syndi- cate, moaey has been no object in the a! tempt to make her the fastest of the cup- defense fleet. Her designers and builders, the Herreshoffs of Bristol, were given earte blanche in the matter of design end con- struction, and the expense did not eount provided ‘that corresponding results in the way of speed were obtained. So she was given a Tobin bronze bottom at an expense over a stec] bottom estimated fully $15,000, was provided with an ex- tra set of spars and sult of sails, was fur- nished with a steam tender on’ which to stow her spare spars and sails and dunnage on racing days, and on which @ portion of her large crew could be berthed, and in every way was fitted with the best that money could procure. Her sails were orgin- ally contracted for in Boston, but a big bonus was paid the firm to give up the eon- tract, and still e larger one was paid the New York firm to whom the contract was awarded not to make sails for any of the other cup defenders. The result has been a victory for her in the races for the Astor cups over rivals less Mberally equipped, less freely “nurse” with money and with tenders, and at the same time laboring under greater an4 greater @lsadvantages with every race sailed or with every attempt to sail one. Her victory has not been the one of model desien and rig with which her ardent ad- mirers credit her, good as these may be, but has been largely due to the causes named, and chiefly to the superiority of her Tobin bronze bottom. This bottom has retained about all of its original smoothness, while the steel bottoms of the other boats have become rusted, rourhened and foul to a de- gree, which means almost certain defeat in anything but the strongest winds, when roughness of bottom tells less against a boat than at any other time. That this is the fact a careful review of the work done by the boats on the crutse, unsatisfactory as it was in many ways, will show. It will also show thet the Vietl- ant is undoubtedly a fast and weatherty | boat, and much better nble to carry her sail than was anticipated, but the writer | 1s not alone tn believing thet to the Tobin | bronze hottom alone can be attribute’ the constantly increasing margin of the Vigil- ant’s leads over at least one of her com- petitors. A Good Man for Washington. The Cincinnatt Enquirer says of Frank Ward, now playing with Altoona, and re- cently released by Cincinnati: It is safe to say of all the players that have been released by the Cincinnati club Rone of them ever left behind such a feel- ing of universal regret as this same Ward. About nine out of every ten of the local admirers of the game express the opinion that the Cincinnati club made a mistake in letting him go. Barring Arlie Latham, he was the best inside player that ever wore @ Cincinnal uniform. He was as | good as Latham on the inside, and that is saying a whole lot, for the dude’g superiors at the bat, on the bases and in run gettin; can be counted on the fingers of one han: without counting the thumb as @ finger. ftactiani cia FORTY KILLED AT SAVANNAB. ‘The hurricane that passed over this city last night created great damage in the south on its way northward.
