SS The Penalty of Wife Beating. James Beattie, a young white man, “drank too good” yesterday to celebrate Labor day, or so he told Judge Kimball this merning, for before he got through with his spree he assaulted his wife. She was the principal witness against him in court to- day, and as she stood up to tell her story she held in her arms one of the prettiest little babies seen in the ccurt room in many a day. The husband said that he had steady employment, and he was afraid he would lose this if he were sent to jail. His wife would not relent, however, even when the husband made some little advances to- ward the baby. His only defense was that he was so drunk yesterday that he did not know whether he had struck his better half or not. Judge Kimball held that drunken- ness was no excuse, and sent the young man to jail for thirty days. The latter tried to speak to his wife as she left the court room, but she refused to him, and he turned sadly away. i $1.25 to Baltimore and Retarn on all B. and O. R.

Mamie Clark, a colored woman of ill fame, who plied her trade with great energy dur- ing the recent encampment, was in the Po- lice Court this morning under the vagrancy act, and Judge Kimball sent her down for ninety days. She was arrested by Officer Flathers of the first precinct for soliciting on the public streets Saturday night. —_s___ Excursion to Niagara Falls and Wat- kins Glen via B. and 0., $10.

The Alexandria Light Infantry held a meeting and drili at the armory, the first since summer vacation, and, notwithstand- ing the fact that the boys had been out of Practice so long, the movements were exe- cuted very creditably. Capt. Mushbach Grilled the company in the manual of arms and foot movements for an hour and a half to get them in readiness for the annual in- spection by Inspector General Joe Lane Sterne of the Virginia militia, which takes place on Thyrsday night next, the 6th instant. On Wednesday night the men will drill again, and be supplied with such por- tions of their uniforms and accouterments as need to be renewed. The question of goirg into the prize drills at Grange Camp and at Richmond was not brought up, but will be finally settled on Wednesday. It is said by some that it will then be too late to enter, though there are many who be- Meve that in two weeks the company can be put in such shape as to outdrill any company in the state. The company now numbers ninety men, and has the best material it ever had, which, together with three of the finest officers in thi tate, should place it at the head of the list. The proposed prize drills will be the first held for several years, and inasmuch as one is to take pi practically here at home, the people neturally wish to see what the Alexandria Light Infantry is composed of, and what it can do, and have so ex- Pressed themselves. The clerk of the school board has been engaged all in issuing permits for white children to attend the public schools. He will commence the irsuance of permits to colored children tomorrow. Miss Susie Pierson, who lives in Fairfax county, near this city, was quite painfully hurt about the face and neck while driving across Hunting creek bridge yesterday on her way to this city, by being struck with shot from one of the gunners in the marsh after reed birds. A gentlemen who had been in the marsh during yesterday told The Star man that for a greater part of the day shot was falling like hail, there being between seventy-five and a hundred men shooting in the marsh. = Mr. I. R. Shinn, formerly clerk in the master mechanic's office of the R. and D. railroad in this city, but later of Macon, Ga., has been made master of trains of the Baltimore and Lehigh railroad. He is a soa of J. R. Shinn of this city. Miss Susie Noland has gone tn Char- lottesville to visit Mrs. J. W. Coffin. Arrangements are being made for sev- eral sparring bouts of interest at Dan Hen- ry’s Theater the last part of this month, when the season here will be opened. Hite Peckham, the clever Alexandria light weight, is expected home from his northern tour in a few days, having met and van- quished several good men. On his return he will go at once into training for his match with Horace Leeds. Everything seems to be quiet in base ball circles, and no games are scheduled for the near future. Manager McLearen has a ine out for several good players to strengthen his team, and when they are se- cured games will be played at New Alex- andria. The Electric Railway Company has dis- continued the running of cars to Riverside Park at night for the season. During the winter this resort, which has grown very Popular, will be thoroughly overhauled, and all the popular arusements will be added by the new managerrent. Avery Rittenour has returned from a visit to the Blue Ridge mountains. A. J. Bradley of Dayton, Ohio, is on a visit to friends in this city. —————_. METROPOLITAN RAILROAD CASES. Action of the Court of Appeals Today in Dismissing Them. On the motion of District Attorney Bir- ney the Court of Appeals today dismissed the appeals of the United States in the two cases of the United States against the Met- ropolitan Railroad Ccmpany. The first case was that in which the government sought to have forfeited the charter of the com- pany because of its failure to pay the judgment recovered by the District of Co- lumbia on account of paving done by the District several years ago between and ad- Jacent to the tracks of the company. The appeal was from the judgment of Judge Bradley, rerdered several months ago, dis- missing the demurrer filed by the govern- ment to the pleas of the company. On the 2d of last month an act of Con- gress was approved by the President which reccgnized and continuca the charter of the company upon the performance by the com- pany of certain things. The act provided that the District Court of Appeals should consider and have final disposition of the above claim of the District, provided that the company waived, within thirty days from the approval of the act,-any and all rights to an appeal from that court to the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Birney explained to the court that the company had filed such a waiver, and would fully and finally abide by the decision of the Court of Appeals in the matter of the Dis- trict’s claim, which amounted to nearly $150,000. Mr. Birney also moved that the appeal in the case wherein the government sought to have forfeited the charter of the company because of its failure to substitute other motive power than horse-power be dis- missed. Both appeals were accordingly dismissed, and the case of the District against the company will probably be heard and dis- posed of by the court within a comparative- ly short time. —~—__. The Barotti League Fair. A fair, to be continued during the re- mainder of this week, was opened last evening on the lawn adjoining St. Augus- tine’s Church, under the auspices of the Barotti League. The grounds were beauti- fully decorated, as were the numerous booths, which are in charge of Mrs. Cor- nell, Mrs. Bowie, Miss Lottie Tompkins apd Miss Jennie Swan. During the evening refreshments were served and Gancing in- dulged in, to the music of the Marine Band. The attraction this evening is to be an op- eretta, entitled “Katy Did, and Katy Didn't,” rendered by the children of the church, —— Government Sal: Messrs.

Albaugh’s.—The presentation of “The Passing Show” at Albaugh’s last night was enjoyed by a good house. The entertain- ment is deliberately and professedly nonde- script. The absence of a plot calls for no comment; nobody ever claimed for an in- stant that such a commodity existed to any appreciable degree in the concoction. It lacks even the mild respect for consecutive narrative and situation that characterizes ordinary burlesque. But the stage is full of people; the costumes are full of color and rich in material: the world of wit and the realms of melody have been ransacked with more or less discrimination for ma- terial which will please the fancy of the amusement seeker. The gentleman who stands in the nominal relationship of au- thor to the piece has exerted himself with eminent success to afford opportunities for specialty talent of all sorts as well as mu- sical ability of the more substantial qual- ity. John E. Henshaw is a graceful come- dian, and among the ladies of the cast both good looks and accomplishments are ef- fectively blended. Among the specialty features are the dancing of Lucy Daly,who is a wonder in her way, the grotesque terp- sichorean act of Gus Pixley, Richards in his double impersonation and the ballets and marches. Miss Katherine B. Howe sang with a sweetness which pleased the audience greatly, and her friends in this city especially. Miss Jennie Carlisle, also a Washington girl, was effective in the leading female role. The Academy of Music.—Charles Dickson's comedy, “A Jclly Good Fellow,” received an initial performance at the Academy of Music last night with excellent results. It is a four act comedy by Stanislaus Stange and abounds in witty touches in the dia- logue and mirth-provoking incidents in the acticn, Mr. Dickson haz @ hearty, agree- able personality which equips hir admtr- ably for the performance of a role uch as that which the title indicates. he bears hirrself thro ordeals calculated to test &@ man’s moral courage with a breezy, off- hand sort of heroism which is difficult to portray, but which is most effective with an intelligent audience when well done. The sentiment which abounds was brought out with strorg feeling, and the central char- acter, as impersonated by Mr. Dickson,was @ thoroughly amiable personage. Of the company there is a great deal that is com- Plimentary to be said. Miss Kathryn Kar- man, as the adventuress, gave an impres- sive interpretation of the role which the playwright has drawn with powerful strokes. The production was a satisfactory one in all particulars. The audience was and appreciative to a complimentary degree. Butler’s Bijou Theater.—_Manager Butler's Bijou Theater was crowded last evening with an enthusiastic audience, drawn hith- er by that strong, realistic play, “Paul Kauvar.” The play is about the best plece of dramatic work done by the late Steele Mackay, and its great success, season after season, substantiates the good opinions ex- pressed at the play's first presentation. ‘The company this season is exceptionally strong, and the scenery accurate and elab- orate. Miss Esther Lyons, the leading lady, acted the part of “Diane” with much earn- estness and feeling, and ably assisted Mr. Cook, “Paul Kauvar,” in the strong scenes of the play. Mr. Cook’s assumption of the title character was all that could be wished for, his portrayal being conscientious, strong and full of suppressed feeling. The remainder of the company is an evenly bal- anced one, gave an all-round perform- ance that is worthy the highest praise. Several new effects have been introduced this season, including a French grenadier quartet, a thoroughbred Arabian steed and — mechanical and electrical ef- Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—One of Man- ager Kernan’s strongest attractions is at the Lyceum Theater this week in the shape of Miaco’s City Club Burlesque Company. They gave a Labor day matinee yesterday to a big house, and last night appeared to standing room only. Manager Miaco has Gathered together an exceptionally pretty collection of fine-featured and well-shaped ladies, and with the really gorgeous cos- tumes they present a burlesque that is worthy of the name. Fanny Everett and Ruby Marion are still with the company, and assumed their roles in the “Old Home- in-Stead” in a dashing and _ picturesque manner. The other ladies of the company also did meritorious work, and contributed no small share toward the success of the piece. A strong variety bill filled in be- tween the opening and closing burlesque, and each number scored heavily. Inter- spersed between several acts were given a series of living pictures, which were un- doubtdly the most artistic displayed at this house since the craze began, “Cleopatra Before Gaesar” being especially pleasing. >. EXCURSION: Tomorrow will be the last Wednesday of the season at River View, and Capt. Ran- |" dall has provided a number of attractions to make his resort an attractive place to his many patrons. The steamer Samuel J. Pents will leave at 9:45 a.m., 1:45 and 6:45 p.m., and on the last trip the boat will continue on to Indian Head, stopping at River View both ways. This will give a chance to those who go down to the place on the earlier boats to take this delightful sail. On next Thursday Capt. Randall will give arother excursion to Chapel Point. Thi a most enjoyable place to spend a day, and amusements of all kinds are to be found here, including fine fishing, crab- bing and salt-water bathing. The steamer Samuel J, Pentz will leave at 9 a.m., re- turning home at 10 p.1 The band will lay all day, and there il be dancing on ard of the Pentz and at the Point. The excursion season is drawing to a close, and the captain has placed the tickets at popu- lar price—25 cents for the round trip. —_._— The Marshall Hall Grand Tournament The grand tournament at Marshall Hall tomorrow, Wednesday, September 5,will be well worth witnessing. Twenty-five of the best riders of Virginia and Maryland will enter the tourney and compete for the honor of naming the queen of love and beauty. The knightly lances will flash across the sunlight of the green lawns while admiring beauty smiles down upon the struggling champions. The tournament commences at noon and will last until sun- set. Our readers can go down on the River Queen at 9:30 a.m., or on the Macalester at 10 a.m., and witness the beginning of the joust, or on the Macalester at 2:30 p.m. and see the knights in valiant struggle for the supremacy. The River Queen leaves again at 5 p.m., just the time for the con- venience of business men and others, and will arrive in time for the decisive closing scenes. Mr. L. M. Sutherland is to be the orator of the day. At 6:45 p.m. the Macal- ester will leave her wharf, arriving at Mar- shall Hall just before the coronation scenes. The dress ball will be an elaborate affair, the program of which is published in full elsewhere in The Star. A handsome tas- seled souvenir program of the ball will be presented to each lady going on the steam- ers at Washington. The River Queen and Macalester leave Marshall Hall for home at 10 and 11 p.m., respectively, on the last trips. The fare for the round trip is 25 cents. —— Colored Catholic Congress.

The incorporators are W. C. Birely, L. A. Rice, Henry Williams, W. I. Parsons and Baker Johns. The object of the association is the collection of a sum not to exceed $15,000 for the purpose of erecting a monu- ment of suitable dignity to the memory of the author of the “Star Spangled Banner.” The grave of the author of this patriotic song is today marked only by a little flat slab in a cemetery at Frederick. old home in Georgetown, late a whisky store, is now a tenement. The Frederick workers desire the contributions to the monument fund to be national. The interest in the movement at present is local. They Loved Watermelons. Charles Calhoun and Andrew Butler se- cured an invitation lest night, through Cfficer Smith, to renew old acquaintances. The invitations were given in consideration of the theft of a big watermelon from the Hilleary Brothers, near the market house on M street. Calhoun and Butler retired to the bank of the canal to eat the luscious fruit, where Officer Smith found them, Notes of Interest.
