There are proposals he- fore the city boards for an increase in the salaries of the city treasurer, city superin- tendent of schools, overseer of the poor and policemen. One of the members of council, the chairman of the finance committee, said at a recent meeting “that if the city continued to raise salaries the treasury would be unable to raise money to pay them.” The Alexandria city salaries are very small, indeed, but after paying the interest on the city bonds and the neces- Sary expenses of administration there {s no surplus and the tax, 2 per cent on val- ues, 1s believed to be about as much as the city can bear without discouraging invest- ments within city limits. Already many very large investments in this neighbor- city, outside the range of corporate taxa- tion, but within the advantage of munici- pal benefits. There is very much wanting @ system of fixing salaries according to the amount of time consumed and work done, free from caprice or favoritism. Taken me. Mr. Henry Mockabee and Mr. Wm. H. Lacy, whose unfortunate injuries by a col- lision with a railway train were reported to ‘The Star yesterday, received the atten- tion of Dr. Jones. They had been employed at the work of building in West End. They were carried to Washington last evening, apparently amply able to make the jour- ney. Mr. Wm. Smith, the new superintendent of the city alm house, will enter upon the discharge of his duties on Monday next. There are now about forty-five inmates of the alms house. Much regret is expressed at the resignation of Mrs. Mary Cornwell, who has proven a model official. The fair for the poor and orphans, which has been in progress at the Catholic Lyceum Hall for some ten days past, was closed last night. The silver punch bow] was voted to Ed.

Bailiff Barz arrested last night a drunken negro who was lying at full length on the boardwalk of Pike avenue, and placed him in the lock-up. The store of Mr. Geo. 8S. Dove at Leeland was broken into a few nights ago and about $15 was taken from the money drawer. A strange negro, named Doc Levenburg, was arrested on suspicion, and taken before Justice Harris, who held him under $200 bail. Being unable to furnish the required amount he was committed to jail. At a recent meeting of the county com- missioners the following business was trasacted: Ordered, that the sum of $2 be expended on the road from W. S. Wright's home to Forrestville, payable out of the license fund; that 1. 8. Wilson be paid 900 for gravel pit bought of county school board; that a warrant be drawn on the col- lector and treasurer for 1893 in favor of Dr. Jas. R. Huntt, mayor of Laurel, for $300 on rebate of road tax for 1898; that a warrant be drawn on the collector and treasurer for 1883 in favor of Wm. H. Richardson, town treasurer of Hyattsville, for $200 on rebate of road tax for 1893. Mr. E. M. Burchard, chairman state cen- tral committee for the independent single tax or populist party, has addressed a letter to Mr. Henry W. Clagett, chairman of the state central committee for the republican party, referring to his challenge to Mr. Meloy, the republican candidate for state sénator, to a joint debate with Mr. J. Ralston, the independent candidate, Mr.- Meloy’s reply approving a general discussion, but saying that the letter had been referred to the state committee. He suggests that a debate be arranged at Laurel and Mariboro.

Miss Shell of Georgetown,who has remained with Mrs. Webber during her mother’s absence, left yesterday for home. Mrs. Myers with her daughter, Miss Sallie Myers, have been visiting old friends in Takoma. Dr. Waters has closed his home near here, known as the “Clagett Mansion,” and removed with his family to Washington for the winter. Mr. Chas. A. Brown and his young son, Wrisley, formerly of Ta- koma, are also members of Dr. Waters’ family for the winter. Mr. George L. Favorite with his family have secured Mr. C. A. Brown's handsome cottage on the Fytield tract and are rapidly domesticating themselves therein. Mr. J. H. Danforth is in Chicago enjoy- ing the closing days of the great exposition. Mr. and Mrs. D. B. MacLeod were visit- ing Takoma relatives yesterday. The former expects to reach Chicago on Monday in time for the closing ceremonies. Mrs. Bertha Burch with her daughter, Gertrude, who have been in northern New York for the past three months, are expect- ed home Saturday. The prespect of gas light on some of our streets at an early day seems a pretty well assured fact, the mains already being laid to Takoma and the pipes for the streets be- ing on the way, having been shipped di- from the factory to this place. rectly ROCKVILLE. Potomac Chapel,situated about four miles from this place, was, on Wednesday, the scene of a fashionable marriage, the con- tracting parties being Dr. W. Thawley Pratt and Miss Ethelyn Clagett, the cere- mony being formed by Rev. J. H. Will- hite of the E. Church South. The fair bride entered the church leaning upon the arm of her father, Mr. Darius Clagett, and accompanied by her sister, Miss Daisy Clagett, as maid of honor. At the altar the party was met by the groom, accompa- nied by Dr. Black of Providence, R. L, as best man. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of the organ, accom- panied by Lohengrin’s bridal chorus, sung by Miss Amnie Poole of Poolesville. The bride was attired in white India silk, en traine, trimmed with handsome lace and ribbons, and carried a bunch of white chrysanthemums. The maid of honor was @ressed in white albatross, trimmed with white satin and lace, and also carried a handsome bouquet. The groom and best man were attired in conventional black. Mesars. Dunbar and Fred. Clagett, Wallace Poole, jr., and Jack Jones acted as ushers. The charch was brilliantly lighted and handsomely decorated for the occasion with yellow and white chrysanthemums, ferns and crowfvot. At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly married couple received the congratulations of their many friends present and afterward took a train = this place for an extended northern ur. On Monday night two fine work horses were taken from the pasture field of bir. Alex. Garrett, near Hunting Hill, about four miles west of this place, by two men who were afterward seen by a neighbor coming in the direction of Rockville. Mr. Gerrett was notified, and he, in company with his informant, at once took the road in it of the thieves. Finding them- selves closely pursued, the thieves aban- doned the horses about half a mile from town, and took to the woods. The bridles with which they had been riding were taken off the horses and they were turned loose in the road. The men are described by those who saw them as being one white and the other colored, the white man wear- ing a plaid coat.

Peckham, chair- man of the Bar Association, and for twenty years a democrat, asked last night at Cooper Union, New York, “Have Maynard and Senator Hill lost all shame?” the 4,000 citi- zens who erowded the big hail to suffocs- tion shouted “They never had any,” and for three minutes the thunderous applause bade fair to bring the building down upon the assemblage. Half an hour vefore the Bar Association mass meeting commenced every seat in the auditorium was occupied. The call for the meeting.stated that “Its purpose is to op- pose the election of Isaac H. Maynard to the court of appeals.” Democratic business and professional men were there in num- ber, as well as the more partisan support- ers of Edward T. Bartlett. The drift of the speeches was all one way —€n exposition of the offenses of which the democratic candidate stands charged, and of the methods used to obtain for him an “alleged” vindication of bis character and of the duty of the peopie to keep the bench of the court of appeals free from any sus+ picion of taint. The were backed with no mean representation of the business, professional and political life of the city. Wheeler H. Peckham, as president of the Bar Association, called the meting to order. His speech was anticipate] a# the one Which would strike the reynote of the meeting. Among other things, he said: “We have buckled on our armor to pre- veut, if possible, the consumuation of the iniquity of the election of Judge If he is elected it will mean that you have enacted the best election laws that exist in any state you are willing to have their provisions overthrown and the will of the — defeated by a man who is bold enough to commit the crime. “For if Maynard may purloin returns to- day and be rewarded by being made ‘udge of the court of sppeais, some republican Maynard may do :t tomorrov in the hope of the same or some other reward. “And if fraud and puvlo mag ve the means used today, the tomorz>w is not far dist when the means wui Le th? rutile of mus- ketry and the boymiag of cannons.’ Wher the apyieuse ween greeted the speaker’s conclusion subsided and «he band had played, Mr. Peckvam read a wet of resolutions, They jeclar:3 that the memina- tion of Isaac H.

The vesolution was unan.nousty passed, and the applause for several moments was deafening. : Mr. Frederic Coudert, Mr. Jus. C. Carter and Mr. Theodore Yacon followed with brief speeches, in which they Jenovneed the nomination of Mr, Maynard in vigerous language. Survivors of the War of 1812. A meeting of the Society of the War of 1812, which was instituted in New York in 1826 by officers who had served in the war of 1812, was held yesterday in the governor's room at the city hay, New York, the occa- sion being the eighty-frst anniversary of the battle in the Chateaugay, in lower Canada. The Rev. Mozgan Dix, it of the society, presided. Amcor toate those present were Thomas Morgan Sturtevant of Madison, N.
