ALEXANDRIA, There will be an excursion tomorrow of about two hundred people from Richmond, under the auspices of Moore's Memorial Church of that city, for the benefit of the church fund. Miss Sallie Daingerfleld of this city is visiting Mrs. J. S. B. Thompson in Rich- mond. Miss Lina Mayo of Richmond, who has been the guest of Mrs. A. R. Howard, on Columbus street, will leave for her home tomorrow. The semi-weekly squad drill of the re- cruits of the Alexandria Light Infantry will take place at the armory tonight. The board of supervisors of Alexandria county met at the county court house in this city yesterday. No business of im- portance was transacted. County warrants were issued in payment for several bills presented. The excise board of the county will, here- after, meet at the court house fa this civ once'a month to consider applications for Nquor Mcenses. The first meeting will be held on Friday morning, the 20th instant, at 10 o'clock. The meeting of the county school board will take place on Monday next, at had in regard to removing the county court house to some place in the county outside of | the city of Alexandria. It would not be a bad idea if they intend to move it to locate it at Jackson City, maybe the gambling at that point could then be stopped. Several licenses to sell liquor have been granted in Alexandria county. Tomorrow is the day set for the special election to fill the vacancy in the lower board caused by the death of Wm. L. Moore. There will be two candidates for this office, Messrs. Peter Aitcheson and Harry R. Burke, and a close fight {s anticipated. Mr. R. B. Merchant, editor of the Fred- ericksburg Dally Star, is in attendance upon the Odd Fellows’ convention. The case of the Deis Manufacturing Com- pany against the Mount Vernon Fire In- surance Company for failure to pay over insurance money lost in the fire of the first named company on the 5th of Decem- ber, 1892, has been set for trial tomorrow. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council took place last night. In the board of aldermen there were seven mem- bers present and in the common council nine present, both boards being presided over by their respective presidents. The nomination of William H. Travers to be captain of the chain gang, which had been sent in by the superintendent of police, confirmed. A resolution, making the pay of the city treasurer $500 per annum, which had been passed by the board of aldermen in meeting of March 27, was non-concurred in by the common council, and referred baci to the board of aldermen, who, however, adhered to their former action. A committee of conference, consisting of two members from each board, was appointed, and they agreed to refer the matter to the finance committee to be reported on at the next regular meeting. A bill providing for the paving and gut- tering of Fayette street, from Duke to Queen, was referred to the committee on streets. ‘A resolution that money be borrowed from | the banks to run the balance of the fiscal year was, by request, referred to the finance committee. A resolution directing the clerk of council to have the city charter, with all amend ments, printed in pamphict form for the us: of the members was passed, and it was d rected that this be done under the super- vision of the committee on general laws. The police report last night shows four prisoners and thirty-one lodgers at the sta- tion house. : Two cases of disorderly conduct and one of drunk were disposed of. Wm. H. Trav- ers, a readyman, was summoned to appear to show cause why he should not be dis- missed for conduct unbecoming an officer in having assaulted two small boys, and shackling them together several days ago. He was fined $2.50 for the assault at a former trial, and was this morning dis- missed from the force, with a severe repri- mand from the mayor, as being unsafe, in- discreet and not fit to be an officer of the jaw. The house tops were covered with snow e this morning, and there was another “‘spit” | about 9 o'clock. The Odd Fellows’ convention met in Odd Fellows’ Hall yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, with Grand Master T. W. Kerdler in the chair. There were 105 dele present. The repert of the grand m showed 104 lodges in the state, with a membership of 5,588. The total receipts for the year were $5,557, and 55 paid out for the relief of distressed members. In the afternoon session the question of a new constitution was brought up and re- ferred to @ committee, who will report today. Last night there was an exhibition of degree work by the Potomac Lodge degree tenm, under direction of Past Master D. R. Stansbury of this city. — Flames in Pennsylvania's Cxpitol. A fire which threatened to destroy the capitol building at Harrisburg, Pa., was | discovered yesterday afternoon in the sup- ply room of the house in the ba: nent of | the east wing. The flames spread rapidly and burned up through the floor of a house committee room, now occupied by John T. Windrel of Philadelphia, architect of the Ww executive building. The fire had gained siderable headway when discovered, but vas checked by the heroic efforts of Chief Page Pyne and a corps of department clerks and officials. The fire department responded to a general alarm sent out, but arrived too late to be of any assistance. The room in which the fire started is used for storing the supplies for the house of representatives. The loss will not exceed $500. It is thought the fire originated from rats gnawing a large package of matches | in the room. 10 o'clock. Some little talk was | the | OHIO’S THIRD DISTRICT Importance of the Congressional Oontest of May 1. Interest in the Campaign of Sorg and Rathbone for the Sent of the Late George Houk. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 10, 184. Paul J. Sorg, who has been nominated by the democrats of the third Ohio dis- trict to succeed in Congress George W. Houk, deceased, 1s, as his name plainly indicates, of German descent, and is a West Virginian by birth. He was born at ‘Wheeling in 1850, so that he Is yet a com- paratively young man—very young to have amassed already a fortune that should content any man. He is a molder by trade, having served an apprenticeship in Wheel- ing, and worked there as a “jour.” He went to Cincinnati about twenty years ago to work at his trade, but soon after- ward invested his small eatnings in a lit- tle tobacco business, which has grown into the present extensive plant at Middletown known by his name, and which is said to be the second largest plant of the kind in the United States. Mr. Sorg married in 1876, and is the head of a small family. While always a democrat and taking a lively interest in the affairs of his party, he has never before been a candidate fur any office, and it was only by dint of great effort that he was induced to accept the nomination in this case. The party was unanimously in favor of him. His opponent, Maj. E. G. Rathbone, did not receive his nomination with such unanimity. Still, outside of his own coun- ty, the party in the district was generally in favor of giving him the nomination. Opposition in Butler county grew out of an old family feud, apparently as lasting and deep as that of the Hatfields and the McCoys in Kentucky, but manifesting it- self in a less sanguinary way. Ex-Con- gresman Henry L. Morey of Hamilton first married a daughter of State Senator Wm. H. Campbell, an uncle of ex-Gov. Camp- bell, and when she died he married ner younger sister. Though Wm. H. Camp- bell was always a strong democrat, he threw his influence always to his son-in- law, Morey, rather than to his nephew, now ex-Gov, Campbell, when the two contested for political honors, Maj. Rathbone married a daughter of Lewis D. Campbell, known in Ohio _politi- Lewis D. and Wm. H. Campbell were brothers of Andrew Campbell, the father of ex-Govy. James Campbell. In settling great deal of trouble, the burden of it set- tling between the Lewis D. and Wm. H. Campbell families, represented in this gen- eration by the Morey and _ Rathbone houses. This is the mainspring of the contest between Morey and Rathbone over this nomination. Both Morey and Rathbone are ambitious for political pre- ferment, and each always opposes the candidacy of the other for political office. Following out this line, Mr. Morey, who had at the beginning announced that he could not be a candidate, threw all his efforts into the elections for the selection of delegates to the congressional conyen- tion to prevent the county expressing itself for Rathbone. The outcome of it was the selection of two sets of delegates in Butler | county—one being for Rathbone and the other for a man by the name of Reiss. In j the convention there was a contest for seats, resulting in the seating of the Rath- bone delegation, and, of course, the nomi- nation of thelr’ candidate. Of course, Mr. Morey announces his sup- port of Rathbone, and doubtless he will do as much to secure his election as party fealty requires. But family ties and family | feuds have made peculiar combinations in | these old Butler county families, and Ohio | politicians are familiar with them. In a congressional contest between James E. Campbell and H. L. Morey a number of years ago, the latter had made, at great expense, a list of all the e: rs in the district, with a great array of ets about each one, that were very valuable to the | ' candidate seeking their votes. It was so valuable to Mr. Morey that he got forty-one | more votes in the was demo- eratic, than his democratic cousin. How- ever, a democratic House ousted him and seated Campbell. But the point is that at a succeeding congressional election, when Jam: E. Campbell was the democratic candidate against John Little of valuable soldiers’ list, which Morey evi- dently laid away for future use, turned up |in the hands of his democratic ‘cousin and | was used by him against Little. It was case of kinship biood being thicker than political party water. The normal democratic plurality in the district is between 3,500 and 4,000. Presi- dent Cleveland carried it in isv2 vy Last fall, however, Gov. McKinley ‘ied j it by 563, and this is what ar > Te- publican hope that t | them at this sp pal elections of last g agement to either side.

Where the Democratic Strength Is. It is in these farming regions that the strength of the democracy of the district | Hes. Both parties understand this, aud the democrats charge that Gov. McKinley had @ purpose in postponing the special election to May 1, The death of Congressman Houk |cceurred so early that witho.. un | haste the governor could writ in time to hold the congressional clec- tion upon the day of the municipal clec- tions—thus saving the expense of a special election. The reason for not doing so, they | say, is that the ans well know that | by May 1 fary ions will have be gun; tarmers will be busy on their ms t b and their employes—and it will no easy to induce them to take the time from their work necessary to go to the polls and vote. This may have been tho’ it would operate ign. But tf the prepara ns are making {s any indi the kind of a campaign they are going to conduct there is no. to be much qu about it.

It is probably no @reat exaggeration to say, what 1s fre- Ww nd have immediate cal history as the “Butler County Pony.” | up the old Campbell estate there was a! 0. | living around them. Mr. Sorg himself is president of the Middletown National | Bank, and is interested in a number of manufacturing concerns there, has asso- | | quently heard in that district, 1. e, that the ex-governor personally knows every democratic voter in the district, and nearly all the republicans. It can at least be said that repeated campaigning in the district, added to the ordinary advantage coming from a life spent on the ground, have made Mr. Campbell perfectly familiar with the people and the politics of the district. He will have Dick and Donaldson at a great disadvantage in this respect. It is safe to say that both party com- mittees will be well supplied with money. The fight will be looked upon with interest, both in the state and from without it, and the result awaited as a harbinger of what may be expected in the congressional elec- tions of next fall. It is but fair to say that the advantages at the start are largely with the democrats, from the political status of the district, the style of campaign that is outlined by the republicans, and managers of the respective party cam- paigns. Congressman Outhwaite’s Plans. Politicians here are waiting for some word from Congressman Outhwaite as to whether he will stand for Congress again this fall. Several publications have been made here to the effect that he has deter- mined to retire, but these are known to be unreliable. He has not made up his mind yet. He is receiving letters from his friends here upon the advisability of mak- ing the race again. A decision from him is expected before the end of this month. A small faction of the democrats here, who interested themselves in the candidacy of John L. Trauger for the post office ap- pointment, are making a vigorous kick since Trauger was not appointed, but it is only fair to state that by his recommenda- tion in the matter Mr. Outhwaite has re- tained the respect of the great majority of the people of both parties here, and should he desire to run again he could at least secure the nomination with ease. Se SWEPT BY REPUBLICANS, Elections Held Throughout New Jersey Yesterday. Elections were held in the cities of New Jersey yesterday. At Trenton the republi- cans made a complete sweep, carrying the board of aldermen and all the city offices. The remarkable feature of the election was the lightness of the total vote and the |heavy republican majorities. Nearly all the unemployed in the city voted the republican ticket. In Newark the republicans were also suc- cessful. Lebkeucher, republican, for mayor, is elected by 4,000 majority. In Lambertville the entire republican ticket was elected. In Jersey City the republicans have won a greater victory than they did two years ago, when they elected Mayor Wanser. His majority was 3,500, while the completed re- |turns for the different districts yesterday | sive 4,759. The republicans elect five out of six aldermen. The democrats carried the second, or “horseshoe,” district by only 30 | votes, their usual majority being from 1,000 | to 1,200, In Paterson the democrats made some | gains, while in New Brunswick the result was about even, the democrats electing | three aldermen and the republicans three. | In Elizabeth the republicans elected Ran- kin mayor by an increased majority. At Rahway mixed results prevailed. In Orange the republicans made a clean sweep, electing every candidate. John Gill was elected mayor by majority, against S47 majority given Fell, democrat, two years |ago. In East Orange the republicans made ‘a clean sweep. | In Camden the republicans won a com- plete victory, electing their entire ticket by Increased majorities. |, At Gloucester the democratic ticket, | headed by John Boaston for mayor, won by 500 majority. At the last assembly election | the democratic majority was 1,500. Election at Albany. The munitipal election yesterday at Al- |bany resulted in the complete overthrow of fps! old Cleveland democratic organization, Oren E. Wilson, a republican, the candidate of the honest elections party, a fusion of the new democratic organization and the republicans, being elected mayor over James Rooney by an estimated majority of 3,400 votes. | The honest elections party also elects a good working majority of the board of al- dermen and supervisors. Both these boards have been democratic for years. The con- test passed off quietly, except in the sev. enth ward, where there was more or less trouble all day, owing to the efforts of Leader Roark of the old democratic or- ganization, to run in repeaters. Several ar- rests were made, and Roark was also taken into custody. | Last fall the democratic majority for the State ticket in Albany was about 5,000, while James H. Manning, the present dem- | ecratic mayor of Albany, was elected two years ago by a majority of nearly 6,000. Not only ts Mr. Wilson elected mayor, but also th? minor candidates on the honest elections ticket. Elections in Western States. The republicans carried a majority of the | town elections held in California Monday. Municipal elections were held in the cities and towns of Montana, and the results are | significant, as ghowing the tremendous strength of the populist vote in Montana. In Butte they gained two aldermen, and hold the nce of power in the city coun- cil. They elected two aldermen in Anaconda, half the number voted for; gained one in Livingston, and ran nearly even with the democrats In other wards. In other places they had tickets in the field, and made a strong showing. The re- publicars lose control of Butte, and the democrats gain control of Great Falls. These are instances where there was a change of political control. strength »ped by the populi: is on top of their recent remar ng in the Helena election makes it a fore; e conclu- ure next 1 be between the republicans and the populist-democratic combination.

A short time ago the fact was published | in The Star that Mr. and Mrs. Bonsal were about to settle in Burnt Mills, and a short narrative was given of his experience at Winchester dur- ing the late rebellion. In relation to this item of suburban news, it may be interest- ing to state that Mrs. Bonsal, formerly Rebecea Wright, who resided in Winches- | ter, Va., in the sixti was the daughter of a Unionist, who was captured and sent to Libby prison, after which he shortly died. To support the family her mother established a boarding house Winches- ter, during which time an officer of Gen. arly’s army, who was stopping in an adjoining house, became acquainted with Miss Wright. This officer, who was con- versant with the movements of the con- federate forces, incautiously divulged the plans of Gen. Early to Miss Rebecca. She, being a sympathizer with the north, im- mediately upon the advent of the Union troops into the town informed Gen.

Y. Legislature's Action But the Senate Then Went Into Exe- cutive Session and Confirmed a Number of Nominations. The open session of the Senate yester- day afternoon closed with a mild and not unpleasant breeze. Ser ator Lodge conclud- ed his speech at 4:30 with an eloquent peroration, which was warmly applauded from the galleries. Senator Hale then, in a delicately complimentary little speech, re- quested that the Senate should go into ex- ecutive session, for he was to follow the eloquent Senator from Massachusetts, he said, and he desired at least twenty-four hours to elapse between the two speeches, as his was to be a very plain one. Senator Hoar sprung a sensation by stating that he wished to make a speech, which he would |have read from the desk. He thereupon |sent up an Associated Press bulletin stat- ing that the New York legislature had |passed a resolution of thanks to Senator | Hill for his speech in opposition to the | tariff bill in the Senate yesterday. This was greeted with some applause in | the gallery, which the Vice President quick- jly checked. Mr. Gray of Delaware explain- jed the action of the New York legislature | by saying that the legislature of New York wi overwhelmingly republican. Yes, replied Mr. Aldrich, smilingly, ut not by such a majority as shown by the dispatch. There is a majority of four- teen on a joint ballot, so that at least forty democrats must have voted for the resolu- tion.” Senator Harris, in view of the late- ness of the hour, and the wishes of several Senators, acceded to the request of Mr. Hale, and the Senate, at 4:35, went into ex. ecutive session, which was devoted almost exclusively to the consideration of the nom- ination of George W. Wilson to be collector lof internal revenue for the district of Florida. The appointment was made ‘on the recommendation of Senator Pasco, and Scrator Call has opposed confirmation be- cause Wilson is personally obnoxious to him and has criticised him severely. The Florida Senators did the greater part of the speechmaking. No vote was reached, as |the roll call developed the absence of a | quorum. A great many cases were taken from the executive calendar and favorably disposed of. Among these were the following: J. W. Adams of Nevada, superintendent of the mint at Carson; Delos P.

Mr. Boatner—“Pigase state whether any empioyes felt constrained to remain at | work on account of the injunctions.” | “The feeling was that they were com- | pelied to stay at work for wages that the ) court saw fit to allow them.” “What was your object in asking for an investigation by Congres: “We were of the opinion that if the mat- |ter was not remedied it meant the aboli- tion of our organizations.” “What effect did the injunctions have on you individually?” “I understood that I had no right to con- ez with the men except to counsel them to remain at work.” Ex-Senator Spooner was put on the stand. He said he was one of counsel for the receivers. Mr. Boatner asked: “Did you prepare the petitions on which these in- junctions were granted?” “I partly prepared the first petition, but not the second.” = “Did you prepare the order?” “The order was prepared by counsel. I don't remember whether I had anything to do with, the drawing of the order or not, but may have.” “Do you know how long the second pett- |tlon was considered before the injunction | was granted?” “I had nothing to do with it and know nothing about it.” Mr. Spooner explained that on December 12 he was summoned to St. Paul by the | Tecelvers, that he dictated some of the pe- ition. “After drawing the order on Saturday afternoon, I went to Judge Jenkins’ room jat 9:39 the next morning, and was ex- |plaining the scope of the injunction to | him.

Davis has made a re port to the chief of engineers of the opera- tions for the improvement of the Poto- mac river during the month of March. Dredging in the Washington channel under the contract cf the San Francisco Bridge Company was continued until March §, when so much of the dredging in this chan- nel as is to be done by the contractors was completed. The navigation channel has been dredged under this contract to a depth of twenty feet at low tide from the turn in the channel near the upper end of the | United States Arsenal reservation to the wharf at the foot of 13 1-2 street, just be- low the Long bridge, a distance of 6,207 feet. The width of the dredged channel is 400 feet, except for a few hundred feet at the upper and lower ends, where it was gradually diminished to about 800 feet, The total amount of dredging in the Washing- ton channel under the above mentioned contract was 47,327 cubic yards, all of Which material was deposited on section 111. Of this amount about 270,00 cubic yards was redredging of material found with- in the limits of the former navigation chan- nel, which was 4: prior to the great freshet of 1889, when, owing the incom- plete condition of the improvement, the | freshet waters entered the tidal reservoir | and swept over the cofferdam of the un- | finished outlet gates, carrying extensive shoaling both in the reservoir and in the Washington channel.

This work was commenced March 12 last and was in progress at the close of the month. The material is being deposited on section 11, between the tidal reservoir jand the Long bridge. The total dredging under the contract to date is 570,379 cubic yards, leaving 229,621 cubic yards to com- plete the total of 800,000 cubic yards.
