W. Croker, as president, and E. E. Lewis, general man- The races opened Saturday, and, though there was a fair crowd, the attend- ance was not such as to warrant the hope of uitimate success. The purses were not paid, and when Manager Lewis did not ap- pear at the track vesterday the horsemen became worried. They are now talking of conducting the meeting on the co-operative plan. Lewis was seen last evening, and said he was acting as agent for Croker on a sal- ary and was not responsible for the fai to pay the purses on Saturday.

The mayor called the two boards of the elty council last night to consider the em- broglio which has arisen, as heretofore re- ported to The Star, in regard to the rental of the fish wharf. Many members of the council, tired of the many calls upon them, did not take the trouble to attend the meet- ing and there was a quorum in neither board. Alderman Leadbeater explained in- formally that the committee had advertised the wharf for rent without any condition as to repairs and it had been rented to Mr. Henry Beach. After the rental an appro- had been made, but the expenditure of this amount did not complete repairs to an ex- tent satisfactory to Mr. Beach, and he had notified the committee on public property that he did not intend to make the payment nor hold the wharf under the lease. There had been some proposal, Mr. Leadbeater said, to enforce the lease, but the committee had conre to the conclusion that it would be no uge to g6 to law about the matter, and they had been advised that the best way out of the difficulty would be for the city to ap- point an agent to take charge of the fish wharf during the season, collect wharfages and pay 75 per cent of them into the city treasury, reserving 25 per cent for his sal- ary. It was agreed by those members of the council who were present that they would be content with this method of pro- ceeding, and that they would validate the action of the a, m —— the agent, making regulations for his govern- ment, and carrying on the fish wharf under his disection. This being done the members of the board separated. For while yesterday it looked as if Coxey’s army had changed its route and had reached Alexandria. The police had arrested a number of tramps who had been fighting at the corner of Duke and Fayette streets alongside of the railroad. They were evidently not of “the army of peace,” but when the police moved with them toward the station house a great crowd followed and made a procession not unlike that of a company of tramps. This excited attention, and as the line moved its throng grew larger, but on arrival at the station house — a dn the cells and the crowd separated. The funeral of Mrs. Maria Gardner took place here today from the residence of Mrs. C. C. Smoot, Rev. Dr. Carson officiat- ing. The deceased, who Gied in her eight- jfeth year, came here with her brother, Wm. H. McNeal, a well-known builder, some fifty years ago. She afterward married the late Benoni Wheat; and Mrs. Frazer of Washington is one of her chil- dren. After Mr. Wheat's death she marzied Rev. Dr. James 8. Gardner, who survives her. The remains of the late Harry G. Javins came over from Baltimore today, and the funeral took place at noon from the undei taking room of B. Wheatly, on King street. Mr. Harry Burke, nated as a candidate for council from the first ward, vice W. S. Moore, deceased, will have opposition. Mr. fo:merly a councilman from that ward, is again a candidate, and considerable interest \is felt in’ the contest. The election takes place on the 12th instant.
