The Southern Methodists Mving in the vieinity of Del Ray, one of Alexandria's suburban villages, have decided to build a church in that place. They are now at work engaged in raising funds for that purpose. Mr. Frank Hume ts at the head of the movement. Several buildings for menufacturing pur- reses are in course of erection at New Al- exandria, and by spring the hum of several factories will be heard throughout the new town. The Roman Catholic clergy of the dio- cese of northeastern Virginia will hold a conference on the work of the church at St. Mary's parsonage, in this city, tomor- row. An adjourned term of the United States cireuit court for the eastern district of Virginia convened in this city this morn- ing. Judge Robert W. Hughes presiding. Some unknown thieves made an attempt last night to enter the store of James Mc- Cven. They were scared off, however, be- fore an entrance was effected. George Chichester, a cripple who is well- known to all Alexandrians, and who has been living at the alms house for some years past, died at that institution yester- dey, aked y-two years. There m great deal of excitement be- tween Washington and Alexandria on the train leaving Washington at 11:39 o'clock, which led to the arrest of. two negro em- ployes of the race track. The men had been very boisterous ever since leaving Washington, and finally became very im- pertinent to several gentlemen who were riding in the smoking car. This was re- sented and a scuffle ensued, in which one of the negroes tried to “pull a gun.” Spe- cial Officer Price, who was on the train at the time, saw the attempt, and with not a little difficulty placed the men under ar- rest with the assistance of the train con- ductor. They were locked in the bagsage car, and on the arrival of the train in this city were turned over to the authorities. These mn, who have come here from the north, and who associate with some of the white track employes, are extremely offen- sive, and the vile language used by them can be heard on nearly every train be- tween this city and Washington, and it is extremely disagreeable many times for one to be on the train, as you never know when a row, such as occurred last night, will take piace. The air last night was foul with the vilest of oaths, notwith- standing the fact that during a greater part of the time the car doors were open, and in the car adjoining the moker were a large number of ladies. It has been sug- gested that the railroad company have a special coach for the employes of the two tracks between this city and Washington, in order that they may be kept to then selves, and thus save the regular patrons of the road from so much that is disagree- able and annoying. oO sold for Robert F.

New President of the Amateur Ath- letie Union. “Father Lill” Curtis is the new rresideat of the Amsteur Athletic Unton, elected at the annual meeting in New York yester- day afterncon. Julius Harder and Walter Stimpson were chosen vice presidents and J. E. Sullivan was again honored with the position of secretary. Harry MacMillan succeeds as treasurer. Instead of “Father Bil” Curtis’ plan of a@ ten-cent tax on every member of every club, a specific special assessment upon the associations of $5 per club was ordered, and Mr. Curtis was directed to prepare an amendment to article 11, section 2, of the coastitution, — the annual dues to $5 for each club. Prior to the meeting of the delegates the old board of governors had a special meet- ing. The only absentees were W. S. Har- rison and Col. Edwards of the Pacific As- sociation and R. J. Deland and Howard Perry of the Central. ‘The work done by mail during the season was gone over and approved, The annual gymnastic championship com- mittee reported that the championships had been given by the Orange A. C. under an agreement to turn over 25 per cent of the net receipts to the A. A. U. The sum of $8.10 was thus realized, and this was the first time the gymnastic cham- pionships were ever given without loss to the union. The fencing championships given in on- junction with the Amateur Fencing League resulted in a loss of $36.91. The boxirg and wrestling championships netted $423, and the all-around champion- ships were given by the N. J. A. C. free of expense to the union. The annual field and track champion- ships given by the N. Y. A. C. at Travers Island, September 15, produced $235.38. ‘The swimming championships were con- ducted by the N. Y. A. C. at the game without expense to the union. The same club conducted the supplementary cham- pionships on the same terms. Each association was directed to appoint a committee of two to investigate the amateur standing of its athletes and re- port to a special committee composed of joha Stell, W. B- Curtis and D. MacMil- jan. The treasurer's report_showed total re- colgts for the year, $1,657.56; expenditures, £605.65, VEN BU’ NECESSARY, How A « Regards the New Departure of the League. Mr. G. Spalding said last night, in Chicago, in answer to the rumor as to his intention of re-entering into active base ball management: “No, I have no intention of again taking up the detail management of base ball affairs, for my other business interests will not permit me to give it the necessary time, but I am just as much in- terested in the national game as ever, and any attempt to organize an opposition to the present base ball government will al- ways find me ready to assist in any way I can to preserve the game, as I believe it can only be preserved through the National League and the minor associations ailitiated er what is known as the national agreement.” Referring to the league address, Mr. Spalding said: “The document speaks for itself. It certafnly inaugurates a new era im base bull government. Heretofore the disciplme of managers and players has been left entirely in the hands of the in- dividual clubs, with the result that often- times those who have violated base balt laws have been pardoned, and their of- fenses condoned because of local conditions, selfish interest or personal reasons. Now this is all changed, and the national board wh represents organized base ball has been clothed with full power to discipline, suspend or expel any club official, umpire, manager or player of any club working un- der the national agreement who secretly or openly attempts to undermine, impair or destroy the present base ball ‘government. in other words, a new law has been created to pumsh treason and stamp out anarchy, as well as corruption and dishonesty. “The natural tendency of all profess! sport is do ard, and to perpetuate keep it pure and clean requires a strong | central organization that has the pre and power to keep it under thorough con- rol, and to accomplish this often requires what may sometimes appear to a casual observer as arbitrary and severe methods; but in reality such action is often necessary to preserve the sport itself, as well as the interests, as in base ball, of thousands of ‘rs who make their living out of it. gue one of the playe consider the National Le the most remarkable organizations for nt and control of any profess: Sport that has ever existed in the and, while it has made some mista judgment, it has never sacrificed principle, and its remarkable record of twenty years entitles it to speak, and, if I can read the English language correctly, it has spoken in no unmistakable terms.” “Do you understand from the league ad- dress that Buckenberge rnie and Ptef- tually expelled? from a careful reading of that document, it would look mightily like it. it certainly means that they are now sv pended uniil December 31, 1894, but will be given a chance to explain their actions and show good cause to the board why the 5} pension should not be made permanent.

Ex-Manager Buckenberger on the Leng nifesto. C. Buckenberger was much surprised when shown, yesterday at Pittsburg, the manifesto of the base ball league to the eifect that he, Baraie and Pfeffer had been suspended. He said: “I cannot under- stand why they should include me. Every member of that committee knows I was not connected with the new association until after I was released by the Pittsburg club. It is a bluff game to whip players into line. They will pay dearly for their fun with me. This will probably hurt my plans for the Toronto franchise, It was probably done for that purpose. Fleetwood Park Races Postponed. The races which were scheduled to take place at Fleetwood Park today, including exhibitions against time by Alix, John R.

Seven events were on, the card at the St. Asaph track yesterday, one of them being @ so-called race for gentlemen riders at a mile. The latter event)'as'is usual in such instances, was more of @ farce than any- thing else, and fully performed the prob- able purpose of the club in putting it on— that of amusing the crowd. The six races run were productive of excellent sport, and as two favorites, a second and third choice won, it was about an even thing between the pencilers and the talent, the other two events going to outsiders. In the farce- comedy the only horse having a rider up, Vancluse, won in a walk, at 2 to 5. The other winners were: Gallatin, who start- ed at § to 1 after opening at 6 to 5; Mc- Kee, 1 to 2; Marshall, 3 to 5; Jewel, 6 to 1; McIntyre, 8 to 1, and Our Jack, 2 to 1. New Record on the Intand. The features of the racing at the Alexan- der Island track yesterday were the run- ning of 4 1-2 furlongs in .53 1-4, beating the track record for the distance made by Sonora, .53 1-2, last July, and the falling of Lithograph and Iceland in the first race. Congdon and Parsons,the respective riders, were not badly hurt. There was a great crowd present, and as three favorites, a second choice and an outsider won, the public had cause for going home well sat- isfied. The winners were: Tenacious, 8 to 5; Austriana gelding, 10 to 1; Frank R. Harf, even money; Forest, 4 to 1, and Grand Prix, 2 to 1. Cc. A. C. Sparring Contes On Thursday night next, in the gym- nasium of the Columbia Athletic Club, will oceur the star contests in sparring yet held by the club. The committee, headed by Bob. Eld have provided a “cracker jack” program for this occasion. Ed. Vaughn of Trenton and Lou Dehler of Wilmington, at 105 pounds, will doubtless prove bantams of fine feather. Johnny Glynn of Wilmington, the unde- feated feather weight, will measure skill again with Sol. English of Baltimore, at 115 pounds—they have a draw to their credit now. James Hagan of Philadelphia and Frank Holfecker of Wilmington will make a great “go” at 125 pounds, the special weight, and the evening's sport will terminate with the eight-round go between the inimitable Jack Daley of Wilmington and P. Sheehan of Bethlehem, Pa., who will probably “mix it up” for the members’ and their friends’ edification. Arthur J. Moore of the N. Y. Athletic Club, the referee, will arrive on Thursday afternoon, a ewe Concerning the Japanese Parliament. To the Fdltor of The Evening 5 The articles by Mr. Frank Carpenter which The Star publishes from time to time are doubtless very interesting. Anything about China or Japan must necessarily prove so at, the present mo- ment, and when the interest inherent to the subject is embellish{# by Mr. Carpen- ter’s graphic descriptive! powers the result is necessarily entertainfhg. But there are moments when Mr. Carpenter permits his penchant for the novel.~yd picturesque to get the advantage—only_ temporarily, let us hope—of his devotfft! to the absolute verities. An Instance of ghis may be found in the article published! i The Star of the 10th instant. Mr, Carpéhter is describing the Japanese parliamentchouses, and says, among other things: “Th# seats are made so that they can be turned up, like opera chairs, and some members from the back districts, who have beetr/more accustomed to sitting on thé floor thn on chairs, now tar: ‘and then get up and kugél on their seats or sit -legged upon jthem.” This ts one of the occasions where fancy has got the better of ifact. There are chairs in the parliament houses, edly; while Mr. Carpenter's ‘Investigations of Japanese life enatiled him to discove long ago that to sit upon the floor is a | common habit in Japan. The juxtaposition | of ideas was probably too much for his | sense of humor, and, as a consequence, he has pictured, in imagination, rows of Jap- | ar legislators sitting on their heels, when they should have been sitting on chairs, a The matter is not a very serious one, but ke of accuracy—and Mr. Carpen- ter—I may inform him that tf he had act- | ually seen the Japanese parliament in sea- sion he would have discovered that it is a decidedly decorous body, with the habit of paying a degree of attention to matters of depqrtment, dress and the like, which has been even’ termed unduly precise. , Any gentleman who indulged in the habft ai- luded to by Mr. Carpenter would doubtless be immediately restricted to less pro- nounced and noticeable gymnastic pcr- | formances. The Japanese parliament is very tenacious ot its rights and its dignity, and has a habit of guarding them both with a great deal o: strictness. But, as I said before, the matter is not a very important one, I mention it more for Mr. Carpenter's sake than for any other d without the least inten- tion of in the slightest from that alr of verisimilitude which is so con- spicuous \nd charming a feature of his narrative. x.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Life and Death of an Old West End Resident. Mr. Brooke B. Williams was buried this afternoon from his late place of residence, 8035 O street. Services were held in Oak Hill chapel before the interment took place. Mr. Williams, who died on Sunday, was the last Georgetown member of a once aristocratic and wealthy family who lived en the heights, entertained royally and had the highest in Washington as their guests. Members of the various legations were often there. From the Willlams home Baron Bodisco, then the Prussian minister to the United States, took his bride, a sister of the deceased and a young lady of remarkable loveliness. He married her when she was very young and still a school girl. The baron’s private home in George- town was the old mansion on © street, south side, between 33d and 34th. Here he was surrounded with a host of attend- ants of his native country. After the death of the head of the Will- jams family the large fortune left was divided among the children. They specu- lated until it was entirely swept away. The old home, though of late years in a sorry state of dilapidation, was clung to almost to the last. It was finally sold, though, under a deed of trust. Mr. Brooke Williams through all his re- verses retained his aristocratic bearing and high sense of honor. For the past year or more he has suffered with a severe dropsical affliction and was taken care of by oid friends of the family. Mr. Williams Was a man of magnificent appearance, tall, _ houldered and handsome even to the last. Thanksgiving Hunt. The annual Thanksgiving fox hunt in which the riders of this vicinity indulge will come off as usual. All the principal lovers of the exciting sport will turn out and all have avowed to make it so hot for Reynard that brushes will be brought home on drays. The chase will take place below Mt. Vernon, the riders reaching that sec- tion by way’ of the Alexandria boat and the new avenue to Washington and home. This section is one that has not been de- vastated by hunters and toxes are said to be courting a chase. The hounds have been sent ahead, and it is claimed they are a madiy enthusiastic pack. ‘The sight of a fox will affect them like the introduction of a galvanic current. The hunters have not dashed away to the music of the hounds for nearly a year now and tbe signal for the start will send them on like a@ shot, — Punish the Guilty. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your evening cotemporary in its editorial columns last night contained the following reference to the Daley matter, which is interesting the District of Coluabia at the present ume: “Perhaps the best thing for the District Commissioners to do would be to dismiss both Lieut. Gessford and Sergt. Daley from the police force. It is evident from the late contest before the trial board that these two officers are not on friendly terms, nor is it probable that they ever wiil be. ‘heir tight is personal to themselves, and the pubic has no interest in it. When en- gaged in quarreling the public gets no benetit from their services. It is no -dif- ference who is right. Neither of them may be right, and both of them may be wrong. “It they were dismissed from the serv- ice it would be doing them u iavor as weil as contributing iargely to the intcrests of the public. ‘They are two snail to quarrel about, and none excepling Liemseives are interested in their conunued wrangling.” ‘The above suggests one of the most re- markabl? dialogues in the Bible, where the man Who is at once the natural head of the Jews and the spiritual head in one important sense of all Christians, is rep- resented as pleaaing with the Almighty, face to face, and beginning his piea with the words, “Wiit Thou aiso destroy the righteous with the wicked?” (Genesis xvill, 23.) No such settlement of the aguestions before the public as that pro- posed by your cotemporary will be satis- factory to good citizens, not adapted to prevent the raging of a storm around the heads of those in authority who are dis- posed to evade their responsibilities or to cater to those who can afford to pay for special privileges. ‘The declaration of the Bible is: 1y ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of thetr doings. “Woe unto the wicked! It shall be Ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall ke given him.” (Isaiah iii, 10, 11.) lt is perhaps too much to suppose that Sergt. Daiey has not said or done any- thing which can be unearthed in a star cham r investigation to his disadvantage. ‘The “most patient man” who ever lived was tempted to curse God and die, and re- sisted the temptation. If he had been tempted instead to curse one of his so called friends the temptation would have been trresistiple in the opinion of a great many people; and I for one am free to con- fess that in'all probability I would have said something “disrespectful” in regard to my superiors ere this if I had been in Sergt. Daley's place. I trust, however, he will have endurance enough, with his’ ex- perience tn the police force, to pull through all right. Let us know the facts, and let the guilty suffer, and not the innocent with the guilty.
