Franchises of the Arlington Railway to Be Sold. Several Enjoyable Social Entertain. ments—Repairs on the Canal— Other Matters of Interest. The court of Alexandria county has now ordered the ‘sale of the Virginia franchise of the Arlington electric railroad. The or- der for the sale of the District property ot the company has already been issued | While the order for the sale of the locat| property was issued first, ft is thought by | the receiver that both the Virginia and Dis- | trict franchises will be sold at the same time. Though the Virginia court has given the trustees sixty days to sell, the order is not believed to be mandatory, but given merely to urge those in charge to make an extra effort to sell the road privately, in or- der that some of the creditors may be satis- fied in full or in part. The rolling stock o1 the Arlington company has been greatly damaged since the shutting down of travel. The cars were not even put under a shed, but left standing in the streets of Rosslyn, exposed to the rain, winds and snow, and the petty depredations of tramps and loaf- ers. Grain Coming by Wagon. All the grain now being handled in town comes in by wagon, the cold weather hav- ing temporarily closed both the river. and canal trade. Wheat is bringing but 64 cents a bushel today, the lowest figure, says one who has been in the business thirty years, that it has descended to since his. connes- tion with grain began. He remembers when it brought $3.25 a bushel. The usual price, though, is about $1 a bushel. Some say, though, not the usual quan‘ity is coming in. No Sale Made. Owing to the unpleasantness of the weath- er yesterflay the vacant lots to the east of Grant mansion on Road street were not sold at public auction. No bids were taken. The sale will probably not come off until warm weather sets in. The Grant mansion and surrounding grounds are now the prop- erty of Col. John A. Joyce. Repairs on the Canal. The usual winter repairs to the gates, locks and banks of the canal are being made rapidly by a force of nearly one hundred men scattered all along the line. In many places entirely new gates are be- ing put in. A Ladies’ German. The ladies’ german at Linthicum Hall last night was chaperoned by Mesdames Plater and Wheatley, and led by Lieut. Landis of Fort Myer. Some of those present were Miss Greenlees, Miss Moffatt, Miss Casi- lear, Miss Stansbury, Miss Bailey, Miss Greenleaf, Miss Dangerfield, Miss Hayden, Miss Festitits, Miss Sigsbee, Miss Tren- holm, Miss Brewer, Miss Wheatley, Miss Ware, Mr. Peter, Mr. Biunt, Mr. Proctor, Mr. Fugitt, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Greenlees, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Sowers, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Kleinschmidt, Mr. Cragin, Dr. Snyder, Mr. Thomas Hyde, Mr. Ram- say, Mr. Gadsden and Mr. B.

Tt WAS A MERRY CROWD INDEED Interesting Reminiscences of the Good Old Days TOLD IN ABLE SPEECHES The blue and gray floated in happy union over the banquet hall of the Arlington Hotel last night. It was not the blue of the north and the gray of the south, but the colors of Georgetown University. Once each year the Alumni Association gives a banquet, and they are always well attended, doth in poir& of numbers and distinguished guests. Last night was no exception. The brilliantly lighted hall, with Its blue and gray decorations, looked upon an imposing sight. Men eminent in the social and po- litical world were there to do homage to their alma mater, and the college should feel proud of these shining examples of its efforts to make men. Conspicuous among the large number of banqueters was the smiling face of Father Healey, that good Jesuit, whose life work has been identified with Georgetown Col- lege. Few men are held in more loving memory than Father Healey, and when the older graduates spied him a cheer went up that shook the hall. Father Healey sat on the left of Chairman Magruder, while Father Richards, the present president of the college, occupied a seat to his right. The other guests of honor were Father James A. Doonan, ex-president of the college, Sen- ator Edward M. White, Judge Jere Wilson, Mr. Robe:t M. Douglass and Representative Stephen R. Mallery. The n.enu card was an artistic effort, and printed upon a gray card, with blue letter- ing. It was tied with the club colors, and in one corner a fac-simile of the college seal was embossed in gold. The Time for Oratory. After the banquet had concluded, Dr. Magruder, dean of the faculty of the med- ical school, and second vice president of the association, rapped attention. He said: “For the past two years we have had the great satisfaction of having our much est teemed president with us at these reunions. Tonigat unfortunately domestic affliction keeps him from us. We extend our sym- pathy to him in his great loss. Distance prevents his immediate successor, Mr. Doyle, from taking his place. Consequent- ly the pleasant duty of presiding on this occasion has fallen upon me. “This pleasure is doubly great to me,since I am here in a dual capacity. In one as a loyal and devoted alumnus, delighted to again clasp your hands and live over stu- dent days; to come face to face with those who left the halls before we entered as well as those who entered ‘after we left; to hear from them their experiences whilst under tutelage, their successes and trials after leaving college; to learn how well they have found the souhd principles and firm ground- works received from dear alma mater served them in their inte-course with their fellow men in the various walks of life, and ‘o be informed of the present status and t future prospects of Georgetown University. | “In the other capacity, as a member of the faculty of one of the departments, glad of the cpportunity to express the feelings of satisfaction and joy that comes to all of the faculties from the fact that so many sons of Georgetown have shown their ap- preciation of the care and teachings which they bave received, and of the continued ef- forts of the authorities of the college to keep abreast of the advanced requirements of the day. The influence of this apprecia- tion is now strongly shown in the increased attendance as a direct result of the inter- ests of the alumni, fully as much in the | law and medical departments as in the aca- demic department. The numerous attend- ance of 8o many members of our society this evening shows the wisdom of the ac- tion of the executive committee in cl - ing the time and place of these reunions. Let us hope that this proof will grow every year. We ha enjoyed the substantial things that have been set before us, so we wiil now have a few words from some of our associates.”" Mr. George H. Hamilton, after thanking the chair for his kindness in calling upon him to preside, introduced Col. Robert M. Douglass. He took for his theme the life of Father C. P. Bahen, one of the professors of Georgetown in the early days. He paid a glowing tribute to this reverend gentle- man, and told the story of his life and death. The College Forty Years Ago. Rev. James A. Doonan, the ex-president of the college, was greeted with the col- lege yell when he rose to speak. Just forty years ago, he said, found him on the upper deck of the old steamer Powhatan, coming to Washington from Aquia creek. His first acquaintance with the college he would nevernforget. The old brick structure loom- ed up before him as he trudged over to Georgetown, and he was filled with awe and admiration. He talked interestingly of the college, of the past, and said its foundation was built upon the records of men who had been. educated there. The college had just closed a century of existence, an existence of which any college might well be proud; an existence that was due to the devotion of the Jesuits to the development of man, and of self-sacrifices. No matter what might be said of the college, every alumnus should feel proud that no one could ever tempt one of its professors with a bonus of $25,000, No, they could not be bought, and the great motive of devotion which charac- terized these men was the impress the stu- dents received upon their character when they went into the struggle of life. Mr. William A. McGrath of Philadelphia spoke of the present of Georgetown, and Mr. John Vinton Dahigren told of its fu- ture. Toastmaster Hamilion pointed with pride to the recent victory of the law department in the debate with Columbian College, and eglled one of the participants in the debate to respond to college athietics. He select- ed Mr. P. H. O'Donnell, who played right guard on the foot ball’ team. He was a strong advocate of athletics, and considered them one of the essentials of a college life. Athletics exert a moral force, and teach a man to respect his opponent. He was op- posed to professionalism, and said it was the object of the college to wipe out every trace of it in the future. A Distinguished List. ‘The other speakers were Senator Stephen M. White, Judge Jere Wilson, Stephen R. Mallery, Father Rooney and President Rich- ards of the college. Among those present were: Rev.

To Be Offered as an Amendment tothe Customs Bill—A Heated Discussion, The gentle narcotic of a night session came as a relief to the strained nerves of Congress after the contentions of yester- day.

The Last Representatives of Two O14 amendment, in spite of the action of a majority of the committee on ways and means and the assurance that the repub- licans would help them in the committee of the whole to accomplish this, the arrival of Croker, the Tammany chief, from New York for the avowed purpose of defeating the income-tax proposition and indirectly to fight the whole tariff bill, the fight of democrats by filibustering methods against the bili on the floor of the House and final- ly the assembling of a caucus to overrule the action of the ways and means com-_ mittee as to a separate internal revenue bill—all these presented a condition of af- fairs calculated to cause a feeling of ex- citement and to awaken anxiety among the democrats. The Caceus Action. Shortly after 4 o'clock the House took @ recess, and the democrats at once went into a caucus on the income-tax question. About 164 were present, and the bitterness of the antagonism between the two fac- tions manifested i in an unusual amount of confusion a disposition to be impatient. Maryland Families, A solitary oyster lay under the wreck of | |@ dredge boat. It was the only protection | that had been afforded his race during the joyster wars. The bones of the captain rest- ed pleasantly beside him. He did not lack | company either, for a bachelor terrapin, fearful of Patriarch suppers and taxation, shared with him the shelter afforded by the state of Maryland. The terrapin was used to lying dormant for long periods (be- ing raised in Maryland), but was not so | much of an oyster as some of his neighbors | and acquaintances. He was a little better | |off, also, than some, in that he had great | brain power and a house to boot; viz, one | that had been shot off the captain's leg by the oyster police. The oyster was very | proud of this, too, and he had strengthen- ed his own position by attaching himself to the house of the terrapin. But he was the last of his race, and his one desire was | that a proper record of the family should | be preserved in the archives of the Mary- | land Historical Society. The colonial dames | he well knew had many receipts for me- mento mort of it. - | This resolution was supported by Messrs, It was Easter, and time for the turtle!

So he stretched him- | |self and did a lot of blowing, and prepared | to take up the conversation with the oyster, left off in the fall. The oyster had been feeding pretty heavily during the ab- sence of the hard crab at the legislature and was now feeling fat and hearty; but the hard crab was on hand again and so he was afraid now to open his mouth, and his repli place and could be relied “I have been dreaming,” n. said the bach- }elor terrapin, stretching himself, “of pe- | titioning myself.” “It might have been,” sighed the oyster. “I can, at any rate, draw up a petition, | and it might be valued sometime as an au- tographic historteal relic.” “Do,” said the oyster, “I live only for |that.” ‘The oyster then shut up for awhile for he had seen the eyes of the hard crab popping out of his shell at him. “It is useless now,” continued the bach- elor terrapin, “to speak of government nurseries for the preservation of our race, in* behalf of you and |planting of yours by the owners of creeks, given in their original patents and delineat- jed on their charts, where you could have been protected from the dredger and the hard crab.” “And we could have been bought so cheap, too, out of season,” sighed the oyster, “Yes, and it would have afforded employ- ment for that pet of the politicians, the !tonger, who ought to have been born web- footed, by the way he avoids the land and makes ducks and drakes of us and of the | Sipatian were of owners of water fronts; and he would starve sooner tl living on land.” ee “And we would have multiplied,” sa oyster, clattering his shells “together, ine ‘fright at hearing the hard crab clashing _— Soy sharpening his teeth. “Yes, and so would we in our govern- ment breeding grounds and purseries. ‘and oh! to think, I shall see no more of those | darling, tender morsels of young diamond back Chesapeake bay terrapin,” said the | bachelor terrapin regretfully. “What I never could make out. said the made sucha fuss ad mitat ‘he tate a fuss an ene une cae spent so much FA other emigrants and jnever thought of us.

Luckily for the terrapin, | Whose mouth had been watering in fond: ness for his friend, the crab had to turn around before he could partake of the de- licacy, so like the hare he kept up the honor of the family by beating him at his own game. So, having devoured the oyster, and thereby reducing the protective deliberations of the Mary- jland legislators one-half, he put out for e oyster as he saw Washington. The following publication may furnish a moral: “As the handsome Senator from Maryland was coming down the Capitol steps yesterday noon, he saw a diminutive diamond-back terrapin, evidently trying to ascend. Very much surprized at this ap- pearance of a considered extinct species, and gratified as well, he ordered it. sent around to his hotel, where, we understand, it is to be served up according to his own recipe, to the committee on the preserva- tion of fish; also, that a reporter is to be present for the benefit of the Maryland Historical Society.” M.

He pointed out thet this was essen: tially the republican program. They de- | sired and would vote to have the income tax bill attached to the tariff bill, but would then vote against the passage of the combined measure. Mr. MeMillin’s Point. Mr. McMillin, a member of the commilt- tee on ways and means, and author of the internal revenue bill, advocated Mr. Fith- ian’s resolution. He made the point thet it would be necessary for the government as quickly as possible to realize receipts from the various sources of revenue that were open to it. nae bill becfme a law a portion jabie, and it was both expedient and to make no delay ta the enactment of the internal revenue features into law. | The proposition of Mr. Fithian was com- | bated by Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio, 4 mem- | ber of the committee on rules, and | Bourke Cockran of New York, of the end means committee, whose opposit | the income tax scheme is well Known. | The interest in the question | considerable heat at times, especially Messrs.

The Night Session. | Half an hour after the close of the cau- | cus the House was again in session, an@ ; | over the hall there reigned a calm such as | is found when eulogies are being uttered. A few members sat silently in their places, and the sharp tones of the speakers’ voices they spoke one after the other broke arshiy upon the stillness of the empty cloak rooms and corridors. The galleries were crowded during the early part of the session. Now and then the galleries broke out in applause, and the chair warned them finally that these demonstrations @is- turbed the quiet of the House. They did not know whether to take this seriously or not, but some were irreverent enough to laugh. One of the strongest discussions of the | constitutional aspect of the tariff ques- |tton and analytical examinations of the principles of government which has oc- curred during the entire debate on the Wilson bill was furnished by the speech of Mr. Cobb of Alabama, who is one of the strong lawyers of the House. The galleries seemed to take more inter- est, however, in an old story repeated by Mr. Hicks of Pennsylvania, about the boy | who was selling puppy dogs at political meetings. | The other speakers were Hutchinson | (Texas), Cobb (Ala), Goodnight (Ky) an@ Hines (Pa.). a | For the Senate From Mississippt.
