FAVRED BY COMMISSIONERS. ‘The P'm to Allow Use of Aqueduct Piers by Railways. It hapeen decided by the board of Com- missiors that an effort will be made at this sefon of Congress to get an appro- priatior for the repair of the Aqueduct bridge, » as to accommodate the tracks of a railro.

Sapa cae: TICKETS DISTRIBUTED The Police and Firemen Now Have Them to Sell FOR THE CONCERT FOR THE POOR What Maj. Moore and Chief Parris Say About It. COMMISSIONER ROSS TALKS. ‘The police and firemen are now in pos- session of the tickets for the concert to be given at Convention Hall on Wednesday evening, the 20th instant, by the United States Marine Band for the benefit of the poor of the District. “I will speax to the Heutenants,” said Maj. Moore, “and urge them to impress upon the men the necessity of disposing of as many as they possibly can. in fact, I shall tell them that it is the salvation of our fund. If $5,000 can be realized from this concert, it will aid us very materially and allow us to do a great deal of good. You can be assured that I will aid the move- ment all in my power, and I am satisfied the police will give a good report of their work.” What Chief Parris Said. “My men don’t have the opportunity to dispose of tickets that the police have,” sald Chief Parris of the fire department, “for they are in the engine houses all the time except when it comes their turn to go off. Still, they will do the best they can. We have had some misfortunes in our own ranks, as you know, and there is another man lying sick, who, I am afraid, I will lose. We are in sympathy with the move- ment, however, and will help out as far as possible.” Commissioner Ross’ Encouragement. Commissioner Ross, speaking én the sub- dect of the proposed concert this morning, said that he was gratified at the progress that had been made thus far, and he be- Meved that, with the earnest co-operation of the police and firemen, at: least 10,000 tickets could be sold. He said that one thing needed was a place where deserving Pcor could be lodged during these cold nights, “I have told the superintendent of charities,” he added, “to look about and see If he can’t get a building that we can rent for that purpose. We can feed poor People, but to feed them and then turn them out into the cold, with no where to lay their head, is not a comfortable thing. A case came under my notice recently of a good, respectable woman, who could not be taken care of by any of the organized char- ities and had nowhere to get a lodging. If she had been a reformed woman she could have been provided for, but because she was respectable it was difficult to place her. “I think,” said Mr. Ross in conclusion, “that the proposition to turn the money realized from the proposed concert over to the police fund is eminently proper. The Police come into constant contact with cases of suffering that it would be a pleas- ure for them to relieve. It is not adding anything unpleasant to their duties In dis- tributing charity, but rather affords them a sense of satisfaction in being able to re- Neve the distress of the worthy poor.” Offers of Assistance. ‘The committee are in receipt of many kindly expressions of sympathy from citl- zens predicting the success of the concert and offering to aid to the extent of their ability. It is felt, however, that with the police and firemen actively engaged in disposing of the tickets that their sale will be rapid. It should understood that there are five prizes offer to the policemen or firemen selling the greatest number of tickets. ‘These prizes consist of two watches do- nated by Galt. Bros. and Mr. J. Karr,a gen- tleman’s gold locket, with diamond, offered by Harris & Co., a handsome plece of silver by Salvatore Desio-and a handsome silver dinner caster, with cut glass ornaments, given by Messrs. Harris & Shafer. Mr. J. S. Moss, the regular doorkeeper of Convention Hall, and Messrs. E. Guzman and D. Lindner, his assistants, have gener- ously tendered their services gratis on the night of the concert. THE POOR SUFFERING. The Police Fund Has Been Almost Exhausted Lately. This morning at police headquarters, at the regular meeting of Maj. Moore and his Meutenants, the question of relieving the Poor was discussed, the several Heutenants telling of what they have been doing in the direction of relieving the worthy poor. The fund from which the police have been drawing is about exhausted, and Maj. Moore said this morning that he feared many refusals would have to follow appeais for aid. It was reported by one of the lieuten- ants that he had already discovered some of the persons known as professional beg- gars endeavoring to impose upon the offi- cers, and he said this renders it abso- lutely nécessary to make an investigation of every case reported. Lieut. McCathran says that there are many persons sadly in need of shoes. He finds that most of them | are able to patch their other clothing and get along, but they are unable to raise funds enough to purchase shoes. The or- ders given on headquarters have been for food and fuel. Lieut. Heffner said that in his precinct many persons who had never before asked aid are in want, and their condition is because of the dull sea- son. “Poor persons naturally come to the po- lice for assistance,” remarked an official to @ Star reporter this morning. In the hour of need the biue-coated guardians are look- ed upon as friends and they can naturally put assistance where it will do most good.” In a note received by Maj. Moore yester- day a little child suggested that he be her Santa Claus. Two Bad Cases. Two distressing cases were called to the attention of the police yesterday. Two wiiows, each with two children, called at Police headquarters and asked for assi: ance. One woman occupies a room in a house in Jackson Hall alley. She had been sick for three weeks and her rent, $1.50, was due. The money had to be paid before sun- down, she said, or she and her two children would have been ejected. The children, a boy about nine years old and a girl two years younger, were with her. She was given money with which to pay her rent, and as the two left the room the little girl turned to her brother and remarked: “Now we can buy something to eat.” The other woman is the widow of an of- ficer. Her voy, about six years old, was vir- tually barefooted, and the girl, who is about two years younger, was not too warmly d. They were given an order for food, el and the boy will probably get a pair of shoes. Maj. Moore received tHe tickets for the charity concert this morning and in the conference with the Heutenants he asked them to take especial interest in the sale of them in order that a handsome sum may be realized to relieve so many suffering ones A cream of tartar baking pow- der.

There was a tremendous crowd of billiard- loving persons at Madison Square Garden, N. Y., last night to witness the third game between the “big Three,” and the galleries heid scores of distinguished men. The big crowd was brougnt together by the general belief that ihe star game of the week was to be piayed. 1t was the first meeting of Schaefer and Ives since the lat- ter’s aefeat by the “Wizzard” by a narrow margin in Chicago. ‘‘ne betung was decidedly in Ives’ favor, Schaeter’s auherenis asxug odas of 100 to ww. Yne becung was based iargely upon the spicndid averages made by tne young “Napueon” in pracuce, ne having maae the two phenomenal runs of over and 553 last week without recourse to the “anchor” nurse, and ms pracuce work in general having shown up exceptionally strong in averages. ‘I'nis was the cnet reason why ives nad the better of the betting, although @ further reason was to be found im tne fact that neitner in his practice last week nor in the game last night did Schaerer reveal anythug like his oid-time form, Schaerer upset all tne caicuiauons of the Sports by winning the game by a score of euu to 347. ‘The game was a poor one. The crowd began to get impatient. There were cries of “play ball’ trom the galleries, and Schacter smued grimiy, waile Lves appeared Wo get @ little mad. ‘Tne score by innings as follows: Schaeter—14, 6, 3Y, 0, 31, 32, 24, 0, 21, 78, 9, 10, 32, 20, 22, 3¥, 63, U, 0, 43—600, ives—v, U, 8, 43, 7, 3, U, 5, 16, 81, 1, 23, 57, 4, , 15, 46, U, 1, 1-347.

Lee’s Fallare to Get the Nomination. The failure of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee to get the caucus nomination for a long term in the Senate from Virginia has caused con- siderable talk here as well as in Virginia, | and it appears that it has caused a very j deep disappointment. There is a great deal of talk about the possibility of an over- throw of the caucus’ action, and in some quarters the opinion is expressed that Gen. Lee may yet get the senatorship, though it is not suggested that he entertains any such idea. It is understood that the east- ern capitalists who have been investing in the development of the resources of Vir- ginia are particularly disappointed and dissatisfied with the result of the caucus. A northern man who is very widely inter- ested in the development of the mineral re- sources and the construction of railroads in Virginia said to a Star reporter today that the disappointment in business cir- cles in the east about Lee’s failure was j very great, principally because they be- Heved that a man of his distinguished po- sition representing the state in the Senate would be able to secure more of benefit to Virginia than an unknown man, and that the northern men interested in the state would have been pleased to have him in the Senate. THE PROPOSED NEW THEATER. Property Owners Protest Against Its Location on H Street. Considerable opposition has developed against the location of a new theater on H street near the corner of 14th street. It will be recalled that Manager J. W. Albaugh recently purchased considerable ground on H street for the purpose of erect- ing thereon a handsome theater, Yesterday afternoon several property own- ers cajled upon Inspector Entwisle and en- tered a verbal protest against any permit being granted for the building of the theater on the proposed site. They were also anx- fous to know what rules or regulations the Commissioners had bearing on the subject. Inspector Entwisle referred them to the new building regulations. Section 19, relative to places of public assembly, contains the fol- lowing regulation: “When application is made for a permit to construct or reconstruct edifices of the character referred to in this section, except churches and places of instruction, there shall be filed therewith, in the office of the inspector of buildings, the written permis- sion of a majority of the residents and own- ers of property in the square in which said building is proposed to be located and of the confronting side of the opposite square which fronts such building. A license for the particular establishment, designed for the purpose indicated in paragraph 1 of these regulations shall first be procured and submitted, to accompany the application.” — APPLICATION FILED. Ivy City Puts in a Bid for a Liquor License. Application was made to the excise board this morning for a license to sell intoxicat- ing Mquors at the Ivy City race track. The application was made in the name of August Itken, a resident of New York city. Maj. Moore was at once notified of the filing of the application. He at once in- structed his officers that the filing of the appilcation did not give the applicant the right to sell liquor while the application was pending, and to see to it that the law was strictly enforced. —_——__. Benning Races Ended. The winter race meeting of the Washing- ton Jockey Club was concluded yesterday, and today gave way to a similar meeting at the Ivy City track, where, unless the law, humanity or decency does not sooner prevent it, the sliding races inaugurated at the Ben- ning track will be continued until the ist of next March. The winners yesterday were: Florence, 8 to 5 and 3 to 5; Shelly Tuttle, 7 to 10 and out; Roche, 7 to 10 and out; Our Jack, 8 to 5 and 3 to 5; Topgallant, 20 and 6, and Remorse, 3 and even. HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE. Destruction of the Arcade Building at Buffalo, DAMAGE PLACED-AT OVER A MILLION, Robinson's Theater and Shea’s Con- cert Hall Suffer. GROCERYMEN BURNED OUT. BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 14—The block at the corner of Clinton and Main streets, and extending back to Washington, known as the Arcade, was destroyed by fire this morning, and Robinson’s Musee Theater and Shea's concert hall, the latter the finest building between New York and Chicago, are in ruins. The fireman of the building is missing, and it is supposed perished in the flames. The flames also destroyed the Yerxa build- ing, occupied by Faxon, Williams & Faxon, wholesale grocers. In the Arcade building and among those who will suffer by the fire are Shea & Eber- hardt, M. S. Robinson, Buffalo Clothes Cleaning Company, T. C. Tanke, jeweler and optician; Theabaud & Co., dyers; Har- vey & Co., spirit merchant Felthausen & Co., plumbers; J. Neuman, photographer; S. Levyn, cigars; D. Levin, clothier; Misfit Clothing Company; Otto Ulbrich, stationer; , Williams & Faxon, grocers. PiRepublican county committee, the Five re Company 2 Senor the offices and tenants of the liv- "Tne fire was caused by an explosion of natural gas under the boilers, which lay nearly in the center of the Arcade building. M. C. Shea, proprietor of the concert hall, estimates his loss at $80,000, with only $10,- 000 insurance. Mr. Robinson, proprietor of the Musee Theater, thought his loss would not be far from $100,000. Faxon, Williams & Faxon's store is a total loss, together with the contents. The butld- ing was valued at $200,000. ey were insured for about $85,000, and the loss on their goods will exceed that amount. ‘The total loss by the fire is placed at $1,- 500,000. ——_—>_— HART MADE BIG GAINS. Some of the Results of the Boston Electio BOSTON, Dec. 14—Matthews was re- elected mayor by 5,106 plurality. The total vote was 68,168. The unusual interest in the election was shown by an increase of about 1,000 in the total votes thrown over the state last year. Mr. Hart polled some 5,000 more votes than Mr. Rogers last year, and cut down J. E. Russell's Boston plurality at the state election 4,000 votes. But, though the republicans failed to win the mayorality, they did capture a majority of the board of aldermen. Ex-Alderman Thomas W. Flood, the friend of Congressman McEttrick and the foe of the machine, ran on an independent ticket, and polled almost enough votes to win. The vote om the license question steod: “Yes,” 30,184; “no,” 20,440. This year one of the features of the con- test was the battle between the joint tick- et of the republicans and democrats for schdol ittee and one put in the field by the woman’s committee and the com- mittee of one hundred. The two latter or- ganizations took exceptions to three nomi- nees on«the joint ticket, namely, Messrs. McDonald, McDonough and Wetmore, and substituted candidates of their own. They succeeded in defeating McDonough and electing Alfred Blanchard in his place, on MISS ADELE GRANT MARRIED. , She Becomes the Bride of the Earl of Essex Before a Notable Company.

WINTER RESORTS.. pareneceeeeeuadaiasii ‘The badges are now being distributed to the members of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club at a rate that promises well for the poor people of the District. They are being scattered broadcast through the public schools, and hundreds are being distributed from The Star office in response to appli- cations made there by those who are not in the public schools. The club of 1893 promises to be one of the largest organizations for the sake of charity that was ever formed in the city. It is not easy to do good in such a large community, for however well disposed may be the cheerful giver, he can- not always find worthy objects of his bounty. The purpose of the Santa Claus Club is to ascertain just where the worthy cases that need attention are, and just what should be given to relieve their sufferings of want. The children of the schools are best able to find out these things, for they come from every section of the city, and their little ears hear many things that do not get to the busier folks of the grown-up world. Then the club has the aid in its distribution of the organized agencies that have done so much good in relieving distress in the city. Some of these who write to The Star are very unselfish in their charity. A letter was received today that is a sample of others quite as beneficent. The writer sent for two badges for his little ones, and inclosed several moré dimes and asked that the badges that they would buy shou!< be sent or given to children who have n> dimes to spare. Thus the club's fund was increased and the list of members was swelled. Some dimeless little ones who look wistfully at the pretty badges worn by members of the club will be given these badges. Grown folks are coming to the aid of the children in a substantial manner, as the following report of subscriptions for the fund of the club received at The Star office will show: Heretofore acknowledged. $508.00 1.00 1.00 5.00 5.00 100.00 $620.00 —— UNDERGROUND WIRES.
