AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Regulation Regarding Prize Fighting Within the City. - Other Notes of General and Local In- terest Regarding People, Society and Organizations. At the regular meeting of the city coun- cil last night Mr. Jas. R. Caton presented @ substitute to the bill which he presented at the last meeting of council in regard to “prize fighting, sparring matches or bouts within the corporation limits of this city.” In the substitute it is unlawful for any per- son or persons to meet in any hall, room or any vacant lot to participate in a prize fight, but such persons can meet in any hall, &c., with gloves which weigh not less than six and one-half ounces each. Any one violating this law is to be subject to a fine of $2). The bill was passed by a vote of 9 to3. The resignation of City Sur- veyor H. C. Graves was received and ac- cepted, and a number of petitions for street improvements were received and re- ferred to the committee on streets. Peckham Arranges a Match. Hite Peckham of this city will leave here on the morning of the 12th instant for Al- bany, N. ¥., where he will appear before the Hudson Athletic Club of that place in @ ten-round beut with Jimmie Dime of Amsterdam, N. Y. Mr. Dan. Henry, proprietor of the Henry Athletic Club of this city, received a letter from Steve Brodic of New York yesterday, in which Brodie wants to know what chance there would be in arranging a ten- round go between Jack McAuliffe, cham- pion light weight, and Hite Peckham of this city. Brodie, judging from his letter, is a great admirer of Peckham, and is willing to wager any amount that Auliife cannot knock Peckham out in ten rounds. Brodie further states that he un- derstands that the ring of the Henry Ath- letic Club, which is stakeless, is the best padded ring in the country. The Grangers’ Meeting. The Grangers’ Association of Northern Virginia met in the board of trade rooms over Paff’s store yesterday afternoon, with H. P. Dodge in the chair, and Mrs. A. E. Dodge as secretary. Four of the six granges in the district were represented. A letter was received from Mayor Strauss expressing his regret at being unable to attend, owing to the injury to his ankle. Business of a routine nature was trans- acted and of interest only to those con- cerned. The meeting reconvened this morning, and the doors were thrown open to the public, but owing to the extremely bad weather and the little interest taken in the matter by Alexandrians, but few out- siders attended. Among those present were A. J. Wedderburn, E. H. Jones and B. Ken- yon of Fairfax county. Arennum Banquet. The banquet of the Royal Arcanum last night was the largest and most successful ever given by the Alexandria council, and those present enjoyed @ very pleasant even- ing. The walls and tables were covered in profusion with cut flowers and potted plants, and presented an extremely hand- Some appearance. Covers were laid for 150 persons, and every seat was taken. Be- sides the many Alexandrians present there were Grand Regent Scott of Ashland, Va.; D. B. Potts of Fredericksburg, Va.; E. L. Greer of Pennsylvania, and E. B, Eynon of Weshington. Gang Broken Up. * “Murder will out,” is a time-worn but true expression, as was proved in the case of Mrs. Cook, who lives on upper Queen street near the local depot, in the police court yesterday. For some time past the merchants and others throughout the city have been robbed of small articles, and for a long time were unable to detect the thieves. It now appears that Mrs. Cook has been urging a number of small colored boys to do the stealing and purchasing the stolen articles from them at a small price. The boys caught made a confession, and Mrs. Cook was sent on to the grand jury, charged with knowingly receiving stoien articles. The boys were sent to the work house. Notes.

Statistical Association Adopts Feeling Resolutions. ‘The Natienal Statistical Association met last night in the reception recom of Colum- bian University and passed resolutions of regret at the death of Maj. Charles S. Hill, founder and secretary of che associaticn. Judge William Lawrence called the meet- ing to order. He stated that the death of their friend had been a great surprise to him. He had long known Maj. Hill as an earnest worker and an enthusiastic statist. He had given many years of study to sta- tistical work and had contributed much to the science in the United States. His judg- ment kad been sound and reliable, and many of his statistical productions were of importance. He was the founder of the as- sociation, and under his maiagement it had achieved much cf its success. A committee was appointed to draft appropriate resolu- tions, and this was done. The resolutions set forth the connection of the deceased with the association and his services to it. They expressed sympathy for the bereaved family. The resolutions were adopted and in due time will be presented to the family of the deceased. Dr. Joseph Nimmo, jr., LL. D., eulogized the personal character of Maj. Hill; he was honest, upright and able. Mr. F. C. Wade also paid his tribute to the dead secretary. Dr. Nimmo was chosen secretary tg fill the 'y caused by the death of Maj. Hill next-meeting of the association, to neid on the second Tuesday in Febru- or until his successor shall have been elected. On the suggestion of air. Wade, it was thought just to divide the duties which had hitherto been performed by Maj. Hill and to have a recording and corresponding secretary and a treasurer. This will be probably acted on at the next meeting. On motion of Mr. Wade, Prof. Charles A. Smiley was chosen temporary treasurer. SEL AES The Watch Recovered. Three years ago last May Mr. W. H. Cooper, the stationer at 1430 New York avenue, was robbed of a gold watch valued at $69, and Monday the stolen timepiece was recovered by Detective Gallaher. A man named Clements had the watch, and he attempted to pawn ft. He said he bought the watch from a woman and paid her $ for it. — An Invaluxbie Hand Book.

The Taylor-Chase libel case was called in Judge Miller’s court this morning for clerk’s office late yesterday afternoon and sworn out the warrant. The warrant charges, on the oath of the recorder of deeds, that W. Calvin Chase printed in the Bee statements. which the warrant charges, are false, scandalous and ma- licious, and printed with intent to vilify and defame the recorder. and to bring him into public scandal and disgrace. The part of the article set out in the warrant reads: | “Taylor has not only violated every law known to man, out he is mcrally unfit to hold the place, which he has disgraced since he has been recorder of deeds. “His escapades in the ‘Division’ prior to and during the pendency of his confirma- tion, his insults to females, whom he has asked to visit his office after hours for purposes contrary to the lawS of common decency, his insult to a most respectable lady three days after the death of her husband, his bargain to sell places in his office for the loan of morey, which has been carried out, his demand for removal of alleged colored democrats, because they would not hand over to him money, his personal and political assessments made on inoffensive colcred men in cffice are but a few of this man’s notorious deeds while in_ office. “The assault on a widow, a refined and neble wornan, is, perhaps, ene of the most outrageous acts that was ever perpetrated yy a human monster.” = The witnesses named on the warrant are Cc. Hi. J. Taylor, Lewis H. Douglass,Nathan Spragve, Mrs. Francis Jackson, Miss Cora D. Neao and H. C. C. Astwood. When the warrant was sent out last night the police were instructed to have the witnesses in court this morning. Chase was en hand and so was Re- corder Taylor. The witnesses for the pros- ecution were present and a large number ef colored politicians were also in court anxious to hear what the witnesses were going to say. But witnesses for the defense were not in court and as there were a number of other cases on the docket for the day the hearing went over until Friday. BENNING ALSO OBJECTS. Files a Protest Against the Contagious Disease Hospital. Regardless of the very inclement weather, there was a good attendance at the meeting of the Benning Citizens’ Association last evening, called out by a rumor that the contagious disease hospital might be lo- cated on Benning road. All of the officers were present except the sergeant-at-arms, and after Mr. S. R. Hips- ley was admitted to membership Mr. N. Keyser, chairman of committee on lights and sidewalks, reported that all the side- walks in Benning and those leading to town had been repaired recently and put in good condition. On motion of Mr. J. S. Mewshaw, the sub- station matter was taken up and it was re- ported by Mr. P. F. Meaney that there was a prospect of establishing a new precinct at Anacostia and a substation at Benning. On motion, Messrs. Ciark, Keyser and Barnes, committee on substation, were instructed to ascertain the probabilities of having a substation at Benning and report at the next meeting. On motion, the committee on lights was instructed to ascertain whether the House District committee had included in their estimate an item for lights on Benning road, as recommended by the Commission- ers. Under the head of new business Mr. J. W. France brought up the question of a suitable site for the much-talked-of con- tagious disease hospital. The president of the association spoke at length on the sub- ject and urged that the association not only present a solid front against the location of the hospital in the neighborhood, but that it go on record before the Commissioners as recommending that the hospital be built on a site near the jail, where the present pest house is located. He reviewed at some length the history of the subject to date and said he thought the hospital should be built in the city, because most of the con- tagious diseases originated there. Vice President Mewshaw thought it should be placed in the very best sanitary location, but, while such an institution was a neces- sity, nobody wanted it. After Mr. J. W. France and others had opposed having it fastened on the neighborhood, Mr. N. Key- ser moved that the association notify the Commissioners that the people of Benning don’t want the contagious disease hospital locatéd on Benning road or anywhere in the neighborhood, but that they keep the hos- pital where it is and erect the new building on the present site of the pest house, near the jail, or on a site immediately adjoining. This motion was seconded and carried with a hurrah, after which a.communication from Mr. George Simmons, secretary of the Columbia Heights Association, was read, asking for the co-operation of this associ- ation in furthering the seven-and-a-half- million bond issue. The communication was referred to the road committee, and after some routine business the meeting ad- journed. es Sent to Grand Jury. The case of the young man Chas. Everett, charged with passing a worthless check on Bruce Herrell, who keeps a dairy lunch room near the pension office, as printed in yesterday's Star, was heard in Judge Miller's court this morning. Mr. Herrell cashed the check for the defendant, and afterward he learned that the man had no money in the bank. When Detective Horne made the arrest Everett said he had no money in bank when he gave the check, and remarked: “1 know 1 am in for it.” ‘The court heard other evidence in the case, and sent the case to the grand jury. Bond was fixed at $300, ‘There was also a charge of larceny against the prisoner, which was dismissed. ‘The case of the young man Charles Mc- Kinley, who was arrested on a charge of using bogus checks, as published in yes- terday’s Star, was nolle prossed at the request of the persons who caused his arrest. a Flourished a Revolver. John ¥. Dungan, a barber, went to the home of his wife, on H street near the gov- ernment printing office, yesterday, flour- ished a revolver, and made use of some reckless language. Policeman Lynch ar- rested him for carrying deadly weapons, and he was sent to jail for four months by Judge Miller today. — Mrs. Schoyer Wants a Divorce. A petition for divorce has been filed by Anna <A. against David Schoyer. Mrs. Schoyer states that they were married in Baltimore, M4., March 14, 1887, and charges that they lived together until April 6, 1892, when her husband deserted and abandoned her. ——._—_.

Owing to the want of a quorum, the reg- ular meeting of the board of trustees of public schools was omitted yesterday. AMUSEMENTS, Boston Symphony Concert. — Metzérott Hall had the largest audtence of the sea- son last night on the occasion of the third concert of the incomparable Boston Sym- phony Orchestra. It was a Wagner night, and that fact served to increase the inter- est in the program, for Conductor Paur was to give Washingtonians a better idea of his reading of the works of the great German composer than ever before. For- tunately for those who have never had an opportunity of hearing the operas of Wag- ner, which he considered his greatest ef- forts, performed in their entirety, the se- lections were mainly from operas which are familiar and which were written be- fore he became the deity of the music of the future. To say that the orchestra per- formed its work perfectly and under intel- ligent direction is but to express a simple truth, ¢1.d the applause, loud and continu- ous, that greeted every number, except the last, testified emphatically to the enjoy- ment and satisfaction of the large and cul- tured audience. The program opened with the “Rienzi” overture, with its brilliant and stirring effects, which was splendidly played, and aroused great enthusiasm. ‘Then came the ‘Tannhauser’ prelude, the “Flying Dutchman” overture, the “I.o- hengrin”’ prelude, and the prelude and pro- cession from “Die Meistersinger,”’ all of which were given with equal artistic effect and thoroughly enjoyed, each being lib- erally applauded, although the ‘‘Lohen- grin” number excited the most enthusias- tic demonstration. Then there was the “Procession of the Gods,”from “Die Rheingold,” which was totally different in character from any ether number, but which was weirdly effective, and the program closed with Hans Richter’s arrangement of selections from “Siegfried” and “Die Gotterdam- merung.” In these it requires ‘a confirmed Wagnerite, either by education or imbecil- ity, to find any justification for inflicting upon twelve hundred people twenty min- utes of jar and jangle, crash and bang, sound and fury, with only fitful gleams of melody or hormony to relieve the at times, absolutely discordant noise. There were two vocalists,: Miss lisa Kutscherra, a big-voiced soprano, who de- livered Elizabeth's aria trom *“Tannhauser” with dramatic force, but who failed to bring out the delicate beauty of the bal- cony song from “Lohengrin,” and Anton Schott,wkose popularity was attested by the -warm reception he received and the num- ber of recalls that were demanded after each cf his numbers. He sang Walther’s “Priestlied,” from ‘Die Meistersinger,” in a masterly manner, although the tempo was taken much faster than is usual, and the Spring Song from “Die Walkure. The Bischoff Course.—The second concert in the Bischoft course, which takes place at the Congregational Church Friday even- ing, promises to be one of unusual attrac- tiveness. The program will include an or- gan sonata, in E flat, Dudiey Buck; second Rhapsody, Liszt; the celebrated canta- bile from “Samson and Delilah;” Qui la Voce, from “Puritani;’”” the famous Torea- dor song from “Carmen;” the Staccato Polka, Mulder; some charming English songs by Miss Edna Smith, and humorous recitations by Mr. Wm. H. Conley, together with other interesting features. Polk Miller.—On Friday, January 11, Mr. Polk Miller of Richmond, Va., will appear at Metzerott Music Hall, in an evening of song and story, illustrative of an old plan- tation negro. Mr. Miller is considered, by those who know him, to be unequaled as a delineatcr of this character. He will mimic to perfection the old-time darkey melodies, accompanied by the banjo, and relate in a quaint and original way stories of life down south “afore the wah!” St. John’s College Lectures——Col. Richard Malcolm Johnston, the distinguished south- ern novelist and litterateurjopened the win- ter course of lectures at St. John’s College yesterday evening. Mr. Johnston treated the “Lyric Poetry of Ireland” in a manner which evidenced his great love for, and a careful study of, his subject. He briefly re- ferred to lyric poetry ef ancient Greece, showing how it influenced the lyric poetry of Ireland. He explained how the condi- tions under which the Irish lyrics were composed resembled the conditions influ- encing the Grecian bardsi He then. gave a brief biography of Thomas Moore, ‘‘Ire- lard’s Sweetest Son of Seng,” showed how his muse was influenced by the Grecian peets, as evidenced in the translations of the odes of Anacreon, and: Lallah Rookh. He next analyzed the «works of Moore, showed how he was tnflaenced by the con-: ditions which surrounded ‘him. The itender and melancholy verses that drop from his pen evidence a gentus borne down with sor- row for the miseries of his native land. The Origin of Our Civil Service.—Frank G.

CURED IN ONE WEEK BY CUTICURA. ‘My little girl had very sore eres. I tried every- thing, but nothing did any good. I took her to a doctor in Atlanta, who treated her for a year, but she kept getting worse. I brought her home; was almost out of heart; I just felt sure she would go blind. An eld lady told me to try CUTICURA REMEDI I had no faith in them, as I bad tried everything. I commenced on Saturday and before the next Saturday her eyes were sound and well as any child's. She was almost blind and had been kept in a dark room for more than a year; could not see to feed herself; and they have never been xs yet the least particle sore or even looked red from that day until this, and it will be three years the first of May. They certainly cured her, and I think they are the greatest reme- @ies out. I only used half a box of CUTICURA, one cake of CUTICURA SOAP and one bottle of CUTICURA RESOLVENT; so you see what won- ders they ald for my little girl..
