A stranger, who had a long string of aliases to his name, has been swindling em- | ployes of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad | aiong the main line and Metropolitan! branch by a daring but noved scheme. His plan was to make the acquanitance of em- ployes of the road, both at their work and at their homes, and then introduce to their attention a smail square. stone, which he asked a dollar each for, and said they would prevent any lamp chimney from breaking by simply placing them on the in- | side. He said that the Baltimore and Ohio Company had experienced such heavy losses from the breaking of globes that they had found it necessary to adopt a preventive. This stone was the thing they had decided upon and they had permitted the stranger to sell them to employes of the lines. After | getting well acquainted with the employes, he would call at their houses at a time when he knew they were not at home, and tell the women folks that he had been sent to deliver the stone and collect a dollar for it. He swindled quite a number in Freder- | ick in this way and all along the main lin of the road. > y he called a the home of a man nar dollar from Mrs. Snyder. later her husband came hi told him about th pursuit of him, following Sykesville, where he caugh in the act | of selling a stone to a railroad man th He made him give up his dollar. and after giving him a sound drubbing, let him go. report of the secretary, Jacob M.} | Eugene Rohrback, of the Frederick County Bible Society, read at the seventy-third anniver- sary of the society on Sunday night, shows that during the year 144 Bibles were de- livered gratuitously by colporteur and oth- erwise, twenty-seven of them going into families where a Bible had never been be- fore. A rumor was started here that the City Opera House, in which nearly all of Fred- erick’s public meetings and entertainments are held, had become unsafe and that the gallery was liable to fall at any time. The ‘d of aldermen took the matter up, and Monday a committee of architects and builders made a careful examination of the building. They pronounce it to be thor- oughly safe and sound and assert that the public need have no fear of danger. Mr. Alfred Ritter passed a very creditable examination before the examining commit- tee of the Frederick bar on Monday and was admitted to practice at this court. The committee consisted of State Attorney Ed-; ward S. Eichelberger, C. M. Gilpin and Wm. | P. Maulsby, jr., and the examination was presided over by Judge John A. Lynch. Mr. Ritter has been one of the justices of the Peace of Frederick for same time.

Billard, has been appointed to a place in the revenue marine service, an excellent and deserved appointment. —-__—. MOODY IN PROVIDENCE. His Meetings There Said to Have Been at an Opportane Time. ‘The Providence Journal, speaking of the Moody meetings in progress in that city, said: Rev. Dr. Vose in an interview is quoted as saying: “One thing which sug- gests itself is ‘that the arrival in Providence of Mr. Moody was at a most opportune time. He came in the midst of the suffer- ing, when men were discouraged at having no employment and their families in need. His meetings, I think, have done much to counteract the usual tendency of such times, when men are so apt to give them- selves up to indulgences in vices out of sheer desperation. Yes, the city of Provi- dence has been greatly benefited by Mr. Moody's revival, and the benefits are not of a transitory nature.” His audiences take on the permanency of regular congregations, so far as the number of days or weeks devoted to a revival will allow. One woman has ocupied the same seat for five consecutive meetings, and she goes to it as naturally as she would walk down the aisle of her own church to the family pew. The chorus singers are accus- tomed to their conspicuous positions on the platform and no longer feel conspicuous when they rise to lead the great congrega- tion in singing the hymns. In short, the Moody and Sankey revival, with Sankey out, Mas got into excellent working order. The meetings all begin on time, are always blessed with a large attendance, each one is more enthusiastic, more satisfactory than its predecessors. Th is nothing to mar the smoothness of it all, the choir is as well trained as an orchestra of long standing and the public understands generally that no one will be admitted during the singing or when prayers are being said. —— -se0- Transfers to G Street. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The timely inquiry of one of your corre- spondents regarding the strange custom of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company in giving transfers from George- town to the Catholic University, the end of the New York avenue line, via G street horse car line, and not affording the same privilege from the lth street branch has been a query for some time among the residents who patronize the latter line. The desirability of enjoying this convenience 1s of much present interest during the pure | fcod exhibit in Convention Hall, and the hope of its realization increases apace with the near approach of the great Moody and Sankey revival. The brief time between office hours and the commencement of these services each evening renders rapid transit as such rangements would afford of the utmost portance to this whole northwest sestion now using the i4th street cars. It wil be practicaily impossible for these citizens to reach these m eS on time in any other way. In this matter I am sure I voice the sentiments large number, who are especially anticipating the Moody meet- ings, of a thousand department clerks from the patent office, department of education, city p office and pension office and of a vast horde of every-day shoppers. There is currency in such an arrangement for the street car company and convenience. for their patrons. Here is where the company can accommodate the public and at the same time oblige themselves. VR’ WESTER, One of the features of the | HAGERSTOWN HAPPENINGS. The Town Wants a Full Fledged Mayor—Other Signs of Progress. Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, Jan. 16, 1894. * Hagerstown seems to be determined to have all the adjuncts of a city, even if the outside districts—and they are num- erous—disputes her claims. The mayor, R. J. Halm, gets the munificent salary of 27 cents per day. This is to be remedied, and a bill has been sent to the Maryland legis- jature, now in session, for power to in- crease the salary to $1,000 a year, and to invest the mayor with magisterial powers, who shall hold a police court and discharge the functions now performed by police jus- tices. The matter meets with favor. To meet this emergency, a “city hall” is de- manded, and a bill for this purpose has gone to the legislature, also bills empower- ing the city council to increase the effi- ciency of the fire department by a paid marshal, and one also granting an in- crease of the police force. These measures will increase somewhat the taxes of our Property holders, but should they pass the | Jegislature, must be submitted to public vote at the coming spring municipal elec- tion for ratification. A sewerage system is also one of the contemplated improve- ments and the legislature has been asked to grant power to make condemnations for lands, &c. Employes of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company are now being paid off. | Messrs. G. L. Nicholson, the manager, and J. Graham Pearre, paymaster, who re- cently made a tour of inspection of the canal on horseback, started out yester- day for the purpose of paying the employes of the waterway. The old St. Paul’s Reformed Church and the Oak Spring sites, will be the place for the city hall, if the legislature grants the proper power. These properties are on Franklin street and the latter is already owned by the city. Justice Alfred D. Merrick, of Hagers- town, recently rendered a decision which is causing considerable commotion in the towns of this county. He decides that there are only two corporations in the county— Hagerstown and Smithsburg—and that the other pretended corporations are not only invalid, but ridiculous in form. This de- cision grew out of a corporation at Funks- town, the chosen officers imposing penal- ties, the right of which were denied. From pure “cussedness or hard times,” burglars are cutting a large swath in this vicinity. Daniel Rohrer’s store at Rohrers- ville, was burglarized on Sunday night, the thieves carrying off quite a quantity of merchandise, also a gun and revolver, kept upon the premises for its protection. 'Sam- uel Rowe's store at Harper’s Ferry, wa: also invaded and several hundred dollars’ worth of merchandise carried off. The mer- chant tailoring establishment of Mr. T. W. Brendle, Greencastle, was also entered, but a few shots from a revolver in Mr. Brendle’s hand put them to flight. The grocery store of Mr. Wm. Funhouser, was burglarized at an early hour Sunday morn- ing, then fired, the building and contents being consumed. The loss is almost cov- ered by insurance. Boonsborv, which has outstripped the county seat by getting an electric railroad running from Keedysville, where it makes a junction with the Washington county branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rali- road, a distance of three miles, now wants a bank, and is likely to get it. Twenty- five thousand dollars of the capital stock has already been subscribed. Edward Knode of Funkstown, this coun- ty, was arrested last evening by United States Deputy Marshal Wm. Chrissinger, charged with improperly using the United States mail in sending a letter to Wm. Schildtneek, of the same place, contain- ing vulgar, obscene and indecent lan- guage. Knode gave bail before United States Commissioner Alex. R. Hager for a hearing on Monday next. sto aes GEN. ALGER’S AMBITION. It is to Succeed Mr. McMillan in the United States Senate. Special Correspondence of the Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 15, 1894. Gen. Russell A. Alger’s ambition has broken out in a new spot. The next legis- lature,which will assemble in January,1895, will elect a successor to Senator James McMillan, and Gen. Alger aspires to the vacancy. His name has already been for- mally presented, and he {s just now lying with his ear close to the ground to see how the brethren take It. The responding enchoes are not encouraging. Gen. Alger may be considered a sensational possibility, but comes far from being a probability un- less conditions materially change. His candidacy introduces a new element in the campaign and the contest will be full of interest, “Senator James McMillan, whom Alger would succeed, is serving his first term. It is 4 tradition that an officer serving ac- ceptably one term is entitled to a second. Mr. McMillan has not made a brilliant rec-\ ord for statesmanship, but his service has been satisfactory ‘and according to party usage is entitled to a second term. He is ambitious to serve his country six years longer, and he will set up as stiff a fight as any man in the state to gain what he wants. Senator McMillan is the first and greatest stumbling block in Gen. Alger's pathway, and he alone is sufficient to re- move Alger from the list of probabilities. Mr. McMillan has been chairman of the republican state central committee for eight years and the party machine is abso- lutely under his contrcl. In return for services rendered two years ago, Mr. McMil- lan can depend upon the favorable influ- ence of Gov. Rich and the state adminis- tration. Gen. Alger has no machine and has lost his grip upon the active party workers. He has many personal friends throughout the state and there are many more whom he could hire to blow the gew-gaw for him, but in this field he woula have as keen an opponent as will be found in the state. McMillan also has many friends {n the state and when it comes to hiring influence, McMillan has as much money as Alger, and has the additional dvantage of an intimate acquaintance with modern politics, and knowing just —" to put his hand to touch an effective wire. Gen. Alger may cut something of a swathe with his senatorial aspirations, but can hardly be considered a probability or even a possibility as long as McMillan is in the fleld for a second term. The very most that he can do will be to secure enough votes to prevent the re-election of MeMillan and thus give some third candi- date a chance, but it is doubtful if he could succeed even in this. The fact is that the Alger boom, al- though seen in a new form this year, is looked upon as a perennial. In 1888 ‘the Alger boom for the presidency was dili- gently worked and Michigan supported him in the national convention and during the ensuing four years Michigan was, in con- sequence, in disfavor at the White House. During the four years of the Harrison ad- ministration, Alger put in his whole time laying the wires for 1892. He could not control the Michigan delegation in Minne- epolis, however, several of them under Thomas W. Palmer's guidance falling into the Harrison line, while the others Joined the Blaine procession in the vain hope of defeating a renomination. Since the cam- paign of "02 Alger has been quiet and re- tiring. The Senatorship is about the only thing worth having tnat he has not tried for and if he goes into the fight to stay Michigan will this year have the liveliest senatorial campaign on record. Alger and MeMillan are both millionaires and there would be no lack of money on either side. Se Representative Gear Chosen. The formal vote for United States Sena- tor occurred in both houses of the general assembly of Iowa yesterday morning. ‘To- day the house and senate will meet in joint session to decide the result and then an ad- journment will be taken for a week. The vote in the senate resulted: J. H. Gear, 33, and Horace Boles, 11. In the house 7 votes were cast for Gear and 17 for Bole! and one for ex-Congressman Walter H. Butler. ——_+e-+—___ Ives Posts a Forfeit. Frank Ives has posted a forfeit of $5uv at Cincinnati with J.

President Samuel Sloan of the Deleware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, con- sented yesterday afternoon to give the first official statement about the accident Mon- day morning, in which nine persons were killed and three times that many badly hurt. In a word, President Sloan blames Engineer David Hoffman of the South Orange train. ‘When seen, President Sloan was at his desk peering over the set of rules and regu- lations by which all the trains on his road are operated. The particular rules, the violation of which caused Monday’s accident, were marked with blue pencil, and these, in par- ticular,President Sloan was intently study- “yhere,” he said, impressively, laying his finger on one rule in particular, “if that had been followed out there would have been no accident.” The rule to which he ‘referred read as fol- lows: In case of foggy or stormy weather the greatest care must be exercised, speed reduced around curves, passing stations, approaching bridges and approaching and passing through the different yards. Fault will not be found for being behind-time when caution and prudence dictate that as the safe course. “When I read that,” he continued, “I can find no one to blame but Engineer Hoffman. This train should have been running very slowly, and under control when he came up to the drawbridge. This is what I can now find to be the case before I can make an investigation. “As to the reports that our trains race with those on the Pennsylvania railroad I do not think it is so. J have myself been on trains which the passengers declared were racing, when I knew myself that we were only running on schedule time. Neith- er was Engineer Hoffman a particular of- fender in that Yne, as far as I know. The report that he had an accident last year, the superintendent says, is false, too. We are also charged with crime in not having the block system. This is particularly un- necessary. We have not used the block system because we did not deem it best. It is not money that prevented us. We thought ours the best.” ‘The coroner's jury yesterday visited the scene of the wreck. The investigation had been indefinitely postponed owing to the critical condition of Engineer Hoffman, one of the most important witnesses. ——_—___ + e+ —____ uit Against Commodore Gerry. Margaret Linbeck, a highly educated young English woman, who was formerly a lady in waiting in the household of Lady Jane Douglas of England, has filed suit in New York against Commodore Eldridge T. Gerry, to recover the sum of $50,000 dam- ages for alleged false arrest and imprison- ment. At the time of the arrest Miss Lin- beck was employed as maid and companion to Commodore Gerry's daughter. The suit makes public for the first time the facts of a robbery that occurred at Commodore Gerry's Newport cottage August 17 last. While the commodore and his family were absent, and only the servants were in Gerry and stole all of her jewelry and dia- monds. Commodore Gerry, it is alleged, caused the arrest of the plaintiff, charging her with the robbery. Her innocence, it seems, was quickly established, and she was re- leased. So far as known the robber has not been captured. ‘The defense set up in the answer, it is said, is a general denial, justification and mitigation. ++ “Lord Beresford’s” Escape. “Lord Beresford,” who was convicted in Rome, Ga., last year for forgery and sen- tenced to serve five years in the state peni- tentiary, escaped from the convict camp at Kramar, Ga., Monday night. He board- ed a train for Florida, and it is supposed has made arrangements to sail from a (southern port to England. charge, some one entered the room of Miss | SOOO ee NOT MUCH MARCHING, AUCTION SALES.

W how promptly a body of soldiers can get ready for marching, with thirty days’ ra- tions, It has been estimated that a co:n- pany can prepare itself for a march of this duration in from five minutes to six hours, and for a campaign in from thirty minutes to twenty-four hours. During the year little information of practical value has been contributed by the records kept. One post commander, after receiving the var- ied opinions of captains on this subject, found that at a night alarm the infantry battalion, in heavy marching order, was in line ready to move in nine minutes, and the cavalry troops in fifteen minutes, the distance to the color line being one-fourth of a mile. ———__ +e+_—____ FIRE FELL ON THE BAY. \CTIONEERS. ve., EEKLY SALE OF HOUSE HOLD FURNITURE AND HOUSE FURNISHID RIET CARP er ir 10 A.
