Again on Duty—A New Year day passed off quietly in this city, and but few arrests were made by the, police, and those only for trifling of- fenses. There was little or no drunken- ress, and, on the whole, the day ‘was a model one. Owing to the fact that the day fell on a church festival, the Episcopal chijrehes held services in’ the” morning, which were largely attended. The post office observed Sunday hours and the banks were closed all day. Many of the mer- chants closed their places of business dur- ing the afternoon to give their clerks a holiday. All day long the ponds and creeks in the vicinity were crowded with skaters, who were enjoying the first good freeze of the winter. ‘The clubs and some few of the houses kept open house, and calling in an informal way was indulged in. The Colum! Enginé. ‘The engine of the Columbia Fire © pany, which has been out of service for several weeks past to have a new nickel jacket put on, and which has received a thcrough overhauling, was put into serv- ice again this morning and is now one of the handsomest engines in this section of the country. The repairs have cost about $35). The nickel plating on the jacket was Gene in Washington and the balance of the work by Alexandria mechanics, who are members of the company. The members of the company have every reason to feel proud of their engine, which is a “record breaker.” It is more than probable that the engine will be sent’ to Atlanta next suramer to enter the water-throwing con- tests of the exposition. ‘The annual mest- ing of the company-will be -held at the en- gine house, when the officers for the ensu- ing year will be elected.

President Griswold said today that it is not true, as reperted, that the railroad company does not employ enough men to do its work. There is a temporary shortage, he said, but there are ten extra men on the list, and if more were employed by him there would be nothing im good weather fcr some of them to do, and it is his aim to have every man in the service make a good living and to give them as good pay as the receipts of the company will justify.

T. U. and the f Legion of Loyal Women Had Pleas- ant Entertainments. i=in New Year day was fittingly celebrated by a number of the local organizations, relig- fous and social, which kept open house yesterday afternoon and evening and ex- terded a hearty welogme and the good wishes of the season to all their friends. One of the most popular of all places was the headquarters of the ¥. M. C. A., which was open from 2 o'clock until well along in the evening. During the day more than a thousand people called and many of them lingered for some little time to enjoy the attractions of the place. In the evening, after the general reception, a literary and musical entertainment was given in the gymnasium, when the Y. M. C. A. orches- tra and male quartet furnished music, and the soloists were Migs Amy Law and Miss Emma Houchin, and Miss Brockett gave a number of clever recitations. Many of the rooms of the building were prettily deco- rated for the occasion, and the members of the association, each marked by a white badge, resolved themselves into a general committee of entertainment and were in- defatigable in looking after the comfort and pleasure of their guests. The receiv- ing party was composed of a number of the lady friends of the organization and included the followin; Mrs. James E. Pugh, Mrs. H. L. Buell, Mrs. J. W. Crawford, Mrs. F. J.

Many prominent people of the city, in- cluding numbers of those who are in- terested in religious and total abstinence work, took advantage of the opportunity yesterday to call upon the ladies of the W. C. 1. U. at their attractive headquar- ters in the Central Union Mission building. The parlor was prettily decorated, and a handsome luncheon was served. The ladies comprising the receiving party were Mrs. M. E. Griffith, president of the District or- ganization; Mrs. T, H,° Williams, Mrs. H. A. Gillenwater, Mrs. S. M. Hartsock, Miss Leavens of Chicago, Mrs. Clinton Smith, Mrs. ikert, Mrs. 5. M, Wescott, Mrs. M. B. Platt and Mrs. Dr. Gotwaid.

La Fetra to the members of the Young Woman's «Christian Temperance Union of the Distfict éf Columbia, at the Hotel La Fetra, from:2 to 6, was a bril- liant occasion. Tha visitors were received in the south parlo€ by the officers of the union, and each aad every one welcomed most cordially wit the most generous hearty handshaking. ' The parlors were Heautifuty decorated qwith palms and. iv and cut flowers. From the large chande- Mer was suspended @ Auge bunch of mis- tletoe. The library, which was also hand- sémely decorated, was used for a lunch rocm. Here a table laden with all the delicacies was presided over by Miss Sadie White, secretary of Calvary Baptist “Y.” Prominent among those who _ assisted Mrs. La Fetra in receiving were Miss Cora Thomas, president of the Metropolitan “Y;"" Miss Carrie McGlue of Union “Y,’” Miss Mary Drown of Vermont Avenue f,”. Miss Nannie Moffet, vice president of the West End “Y;” Mrs. Clayton E. Emig, recording secretary; Miss Lillie Hazleton, corresponding secretary, and Miss Mattie Haines, treasurer of the District “Y.” Just within the reception room stood a corps of charming young ladies, who pre- sented to each visitor a leaf of ivy tied with white ribbon as a souvenir of the oc- casion. Legion of Loyal Women. The headquarters of the Legion of Loyal Women, 419 10th street, appeared to be gencral headquarters fer the veterans of the late war, as well as a most popular calling place for multitudes of other peo- ple. Immediately after leaving the White House the Old Guard, fifty-five in number, headed by Capt. J. M. Edgar, and the De- partment of the Potomac, G. A. R., repre- sented by Commander Nathan Bickford and his full official staff, marched to call on the loyal women, and were followed by the Union Veteran Legion, with 110 men in line, and the Union Veteran Union, who came in force, with colors flying. Then came the various posts of the G. A. R,, with from twenty to sixty men_ each. Among the posts calling as a body were John A. Rawlins, No. 1; Kit Carson, No. 2; Lincoln, N Meade, No. John A.

Bags eS LATB SPORTING NEWS GIVING VI AUX 1,000. Champion Ivew Big Odds French Billiardist. CHICAGO, IL, January 2.—Frank C. Ives got into the city last night from Grand Rapids. ‘fhe champion’s first move was bis acceptance of the offer of Vignaux to play a match game at fourteen-inch balk line billiards for $10,000 a side. “My original proposition was to give odds in the side wager,” said the Napoleon. “What 1 said was that I would play Vig- naux a match and bet him $0,000 to $5,000 that 1 beat him. He evidenuy misunder- stood it, and imagines that I offered to play him 6,000 points to 5,000, Since, however, the thing has gone as far as it has, I will accept the proposition, and will give him a block of 1,000 as a starter in a 6,000-point gume.”’ “Will the side wager of $10,000 suit you?” was asked. y that is quite satisfactory. I under- stand that Mr. Vignaux's money is already it this is so we will post ours. to the up. “Kither Chicago or New York will suit me. ‘The game, however, must be played the Jast week in Iebruary or the first, week in March.” A Loss to the Columbians. The bowling contest scheduled to take place on the alleys of the Columbia Ath- letic Club this evening between the Co- lumbias and Buena Vistas has been de- ferred until next Saturday evening. ‘This pestponement is on account of the death | of Mr. John Walker of the C. A. C. team, which occurred unexpectedly at his home in this city last Sunday afternoon, after a brief illness of typhoid pneumoni: The intermtnt took place today at Gle: wood cemetery. John Walker will be great- ly missed by the members of the Colum- bia Athletic Club, as he was a universal favorite, and he was the best and most re- Mable of the wit ged-arrow bowlers, and of the District Amateur Bowling League. He won the champicnship of the Columbia Athletic Club for the years of 1803 and 1894, and also the individual champion- skip prize in the District Amateur Bowl- ing League in the tcurnament of 1803-04. He was a genial, generous and kind- hearted man and a true and most lovable friend. Crookedness Punished. The Old Dominion Jockey Club inaugu- rated the new year by emphasizing the fact that crookedness on the part of jock- eys will be summarily punished. Zeller hed the mount on Leigh in the last race of the day, and while it was doubtful if he could have beaten the winner, Chateau, it was clearly evident that Leigh could have finished second. But Zeller’s pull on his mount permitted Pickaway to take the place, and Zeller was at once ruled off. The New Year handicap resulted ina hollow viciory for Ponce de Leon, the odds, 4 to 1, evidently just suiting’ him. The ‘attendance was one of the largest of the meeting, and the eleven men behind the slates had much the worst of the ar- gument, four favorites and a third chotee landing the money. The bookmaking pri ilexe was raised yesterday to $10 a. day. The track was heavy and slow, and the chute was still unfit for racing, » The winners were: Walcott, 4 to 5; Lura, 9 to 10: Ponce de Leon, 4 to 1; Sonora, “even money, and Chateau, 2 to 5. A Catcher for Washington. Base ball cranks here cannot understagd why the Washington management dogs not make an effort to secure one or more of thegplayers released by Brookyln. There’s Tom Daly, one of the best catchers in the count who formerly played in Wash- ington, caught here in 1889. Since he weat to Brooklyn he has played at third base and, since Richardson left, at second base, out of his position, and has not always done himself justice. But as a catcher, if his arm is ail right, he’s worth a dozen minor league “finds.” ‘And it is said that Tom Kinslow and Cyclone Miller are still out in the cold. A Draw in Baltimore. Solomon inglish, the champion 115-pound boxer of Maryland, sparred with John Chaney to a draw last night in Baltimore. The men were to have gone ten rounds to a decision, but, owing to the vicious char- acter of the fighting, Police Sergeant Schleigh stopped it in the eighth round. Under the circumstances, the referee de- cided it a draw. A scene of confusion en- sted. Men applauded the decision; others hooted it. ‘he seconds wrangled, each side claiming that its man had the better of the bout, but the decision stood. Notes of the Boxers. * Martin Flaherty of Lowell and Young Starlight of Australia have signed to box fifteen rounds at the next meeting’ of the Charles Bank Athletic Club, Boston, Jan- uary 21. The weight agreed upon was 128 pounds, contestants to weigh in at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the contest. Billy Tucker of Bcston has received word from Harry Stone of Newark, N.

The reason of this sale is that we’re so near stock taking time. Before then we want to sell every possible dollar’s worth of clothing—and a few more days like the. preceding ones— and. there’ll be nothing left but empty shelvesand tabies to teil the tale. Expect great things when you come— you won’t be disappointed—because we are selling our entire—up-to-date stock—not a few tablefuls of broken and undesirable lots.

LONDON, January 2.—The Chronicle says that the London Athletic Club has accepted the challenge of the New York Athletic Club, issued on November 28 last. There will be nine events and the matches will, if possible, take place in New York in May. The secretary of the London Athletic Clup, in reply to an inquiry made on behalf of the Associated Press as to the state- ment of the, Chronicle that the London Athletic Club has accepted the challenge of the New York Athletic Club, says that the challenge from New York has not yet been formally accepted. Negotiations be- tween the two clubs are still in progress. ‘The chief difficulty seems to be that the challenge, being an open one, no date is given, and the London Athletic Club being engaged in several important meetings be- fore June cannot spare its best men before that time, and therefore it is not thought possible that a team could be sent over be- fore late in the summer. Se BROWNS REJOINDER. Gov. What He Says of Judge Buchwalter’s Comment on Kentucky Lynchings. A special to the Cincinnati Commerctal- Gazette from Frankfort, Ky., says that Gov. John Young Brown last night gave out for publication what he had to say in the refusal Monday of Judge Buchwalter to deliver to a Kentucky officer the col- ored man, Rev. A. Hampton, alias Jack- son, who was captured in Avondale Colored Baptist Church last Sunday night, on a requisition from Gov. Brown, granted by Gov. McKinley, to deliver Hampton to the state of Kentucky to answer for shooting with intent to kill. Gov. Brown says that Judge Buchwalt- er’s condition for returning Hampton, that the governor of Kentucky and the sheriff shall first give a written guarantee that he will be protected from mob violence, if true, as reported, contravenes the Consti- tution of the United States, which requires the states to surrender fugitives from jus- tice. This refusal was the more exasper- ating in view of tne fact that the prisoner, Hampton, admitted the facts of the accu- sation against him foi which he was wanted in Kentucky. The, goyernor says that Judge Buch- walter’s arraignment of the state of Ken- tucky was unwarranted in reason and in fact, and was to be regretted, as its ten- dency, if it was to have any indluence, was to destroy comity between states. Exas- perated people in Kentucky and Ohio had resorted to mob viclence always in ex- treme case. Yet the civil authorities in every case endeavor to let the law have its course. Moreover, there is no report that Judge Buchwalter made no effort to rebuke the violence of the mob that on Sunday night attempted to rescue Hamp- ton from the officers when they arrested him. His demand o: the guarantee of Ken- tucky officials is virtually an attempt to amend the law of the nation on this mat- ter. It assumes authority not thought of by Gov. McKinley, and annuls Goy. Mo- Kinley’s warrant, as well as violates fed- eral law. The logic of such a decision, if made a rule, would be to make Kentucky fugitives from justice to asylum in Ohio, His self-respect and his regard for the dig- nity of the state of Kentucky forbid that he should ever give any such humiliating guarantee. Hampton is in no danger of nog violence, and never was in any danger of it. Gov. Brown does not believe the judi- ciary of Ohio will uphold Judge Buch- walter in these views. But if they should be adopted as a rule, he might retallate when requisitions were made on him for fess from Ohio. = | § Far cures SCROFULA, _ BLOOD POISON SE cures CANCER, ECZEMA, TETTER. § s000
