The bar room of Sefer Blouse, at the head of King street, was again entered by thieves about 9:30 o'clock last night and about $12 in cash stolen from the cash drawer. The robbery seemed to have been carefully planned and was participated in by at least four negroes. Just before the robbery Sefer had gone into the back yard, leaving his wife in the saloon, and she had locked the front door,,preparatory to clos- ing up for the night. The men tricd the deor, which they evidently thought had not been locked, and on being unable to get in knocked and Mrs. Blouse opened the door to admit them. Just as the men entered the door one of them grabbed Mrs. Blovse by the throat and strangled her almost to unconsciousness, at the same time holding a pistol to her head and threatening to shoot her if she made an outery; another of the men went to the back door to prevent the entrance of Sefer, while the third rifled the cash drawer, which, by the way, had contained a large sum of money in the early part of the evering, but which had been very for- tunately removed, leaving only $12. Mrs. Bleuse says that the man who rifled the cash drawer had en open razer in his band. The fourth man kept guard at the front door, so as to prevent being caught in that direction. Di peinted at not find- ing more money in the drawer the negroes departed, cursing their hard luck. The police were quickly notified, and later in the night Officers Davis and Arrington ar- rested a negro named Edward Stillyard, but he denied knowing anything of the rebbery. Petty thieving and burglary seem to be on the increase in Alexandria, and the police are using every effort to locate the parties. Corporation Court. On Monday morning next the January term of the corporetion court will begin with a full docket. The following cases are to be considered by the grand jury: Mala- chia Mallard, housebreaking; Annie Atwell, larceny; Jeremiah Spear, unlawfully enter- ing a house to carry off property; Andrew Grooth, larceny; Frank Edwards and John Martin, attempted housebreaking; George Boston, forgery; William Lucas and George Walker, housebreaking; Thomas Williams, for stealing a beat; Lee Leavel, for house- breaking; Isabelle Cook, for receiving goods known to be stolen; William Tolliver, for housebreaking, and George Johnson, for stealing a bicycle. The commonwealth’s attorney has had a large number of wit- nesses summored. Assembly Dance. Several of the members of the Alexandria Assembly gave a dance to their lady friends last night and, though small, it was an extremely pleasant affair. Dancing was kept up until a late hour, by the strains of vrof. Dunn's orchestra, and it was with a sigh of deep regret that the old familiar tune, “Home, Sweet Home,” was wafted oer the hall. Among those present were Misses Bena Harrison of Loudon, Boydie Faulkner, daughter of Senator Faulkner of West Virginia; Bradway of New Orlea! Eddings of Baltimore, Lucy Lee, Sallie a Eliza Kemper, Kebecca and Eliza Dainger- field, Lucy Minnigerode, Mai Uhler and Josie Hobinson of this city, Messrs. Sorrel Stoddard, Bowie and Claggett of Washing- ton, Spindle of Maryland, George Carter, George Robinson, Wm. H. F. and J. T. Beckham, jr., William Bryant, M. M. and A. B. Davis, Wilbur Kent, C. W. Wattles, Charles and Powell Minnigerode, David Lannon and Dr. J. T. Miller. Fire Company Meeting. There was a called meeting of the Hy- draulion Fire Company on Wednesday night to consider a proposition from a company in Washington to give a play in this city for the benefit of the company. The matter was fully discussed and Messrs. Cc. L. Neale, J. N. Kirby and E. W. Starnell were appointed a committee to consider the matter. The company will mect tonight to take final action in the matter. Notes. Mrs. Harry T. Barker, recently elected, has declined to serve as organist at the Baptist Church. Rev. C. E. Ball, who has been quite un- well for some days past, is able to be out again. Miss Eliza Smith has resigned as presi- dent of the Alexandria Infirmary, which position she has held for twenty years. Miss Catherine Critcher will entertain Miss Boydie Faulkner of West Virginia to- night. Mr. Charles Graham, the well-known riv- ermzn, was taken suddenly ill on the street yesterday. He was taken to his home on Prince street. Herbert C. Graves, late city surveyor, will leave tomorrow for Cleveland, Ohio, to ac- cept a position under the government which he secured by civil service examination. It is said that the Post Office Depart- ment will require the next contractor for carrying the United States mails between the post office and the depots in this city to have a specially prepared wagon for the purpose, witn uniformed employes. Rev. John McKnabb of King George county has been called to the rectorship of Pohick Church to succeed Rev. S. A. Wallis, who resigned to accept a chair at the Episcopal Theological Seminary near this city. An unknown man fired a pistol at George Reynolds as he was on his way home last night. It did not take effect and the man ran off. Several of the local building and loan as- bores held their annual meetings last night. The Relief Hook and Ladder Company’s truck is to have a thorough overhauling. The work will be done at once, and a truck, borrowed in Washington, used in the meantime. There are many cases of destitution in this city and constant calls for relief are made at the station house. ——__. The Philosophy of Literature. A new course of Thursday lectures at the Catholic University commenced yesterday afternoon, and the attendance was quite good considering the extremely inclement weather. Bishop Keane spoke on “The Philosophy of Literature,” and both enter- tained and instructed his audience by his keen anlysis, lofty thoughts and eloquent expressions. These lectures will be con- tinued until April 4. The succeeding lec- turers this month are announced to be Col. Richard Malcolm Johnston, on “The Oldest of the Romances; Rev. Dr. Wm. Byrne, “A Study from Spanish Literature,” and Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford, “The Intellectual Need of the Age.” Rev. Dr. Thos. J.

The Sutro Sisters._Had the weather been propitious there would doubtless have been a large audience to hear the piano recital given by the Sutro sisters at Metzerott’s last evening, but as it was quite a number of vacant seats confronted the performers when they made their appearance. Al- though the audience was small it was very appreciative, and greeted each num- ber with hearty applause. There were four instrumental numbers rendered; the “‘Son- ata,” in D major, by Mozart; the impromp- tu on a theme from Schumann’s ‘“Man- fred,” by Carl Reinecke; the “Rondo,” by Chopin, and the “Les Preludes,” by Liszt, all of them written for two pianos. Each one of these was well rendered, both in regard to execution, finish and expression, and in Cnopin’s co.nposition, by their mas- terly manual dexterity and force, the young ladies completely captivated the audience. An encore was de:nanded and responded to by Heller's lively ‘“‘Tarantelle,” which was also finely performed. Misses Rose and Ottilie Sutro deserve much praise for their work in the ensemble effects and for the study which they have evidently given every detail, no matter how minute. ‘they were assisted by Miss Katherine Willard, mezzo-soprano, and by Mr. Miles Farrow, accompanist. Mr. Gandhi's Lecture.—Mr. Virchand R. Gandhi, the Hindu lecturer, who has been delivering several courses on ancient and occult philosophy in various parts of the city, will lecture, to ladies only, this evening on marriage and sexual relations as understood in India, in the chapel of All Souls’ Church. The Philharmonic Club.—The third and last concert of the Philharmonic Club will be given at Metzerott’s Music Hall on next ‘Thursday night. This organization, as is well known, is composed of Mr, and Mrs. Ernest Lent and Mr. Herman Rakemann, and all are musicians of acknowledged ability. They will be heard in trios for violoncello and piano, and each will con- tribute solo numbers to the program. The club will be assisted by Mr. Victor Herbert, who is undoubtedly the most brilliant ’cel- list In this country, and whose work has been frequently. heard and applauded in this cit, Miss Lucia Nola, a dramatic soprano, id to possess a voice of much power and culture, and Miss Mary Helen Howe, a young Washington soprano, who is coming to the front, after severai years of hard study under the most competent instructors. This will be the most ambi- tious concert given by the club, and the attendance should be very large. Seats may now be secured at Metzerott’s music store. Gen, Greely’s Lecture.—Gen. A.W. Greely lectures tonight at the Y. M. C. » 1400 New York avenue northwest, on “A Ne- glected Page of American History—Captain Benneville and the Oregon Trail.” The public is invited, as there is no charge for admission. Children in the Minuet.—A children’s co- lonial ball will be given this evening by the pupils of Misses Minnie and May Hawke at the National Rifies’ Armory. During the evening the minuet will be danced by forty-eight children in court costumes. There will also be exhibitions of fancy dancing by the more proficient pupils. “A Scrap of Paper.” —The performance of “A Scrap of Paper,” which was so well given at Willard Hall by the C. M. T. Dramatic Club of Columbian University on Wednesday night, was not under the supervision of Mr. Barry Bulkley, as was inadvertently stated. Mr. Ward, one of the college students, had charge of the stage, and to him is due the credit for the good work done. Calvary Baptist Church.—The Schumann Lady Quartet of Chicago will sing at the Calvary Baptist Church this evening. These lodics are capable soloists, as well as able to do excellent concert work, and the program will include “We Parted by the Riverside” and “Voices of the Night,” besides solos by each member of the quar- tet. Miss Jessie G. Patton, elocutionist, will assist. Metzerott Music Hall.—Mr. Polk Miller, a southern elocutionist of extended repute, will give a recital at Metzerott Music Hall ht, in which he will present negro dialect ‘recitations that will be very amus- ing Mr, Miller has acquired his kno edge of the negro from a lifelong assoc tion with and observation of the race, and is considered by those wh> have he: the best darkey delineator on the lecture platform. —_——.— — THE BILL PASSED. District Appropriation Measure Gets Through the House. ‘The House yesterday afternoon consid- ered and passed the District appropriation pill, making but two amendments thereto. One of these was offered by Dr. Everett, and Increases the appropriation for re- pairs to public school buildings. $1,000. A point of order was sustained against the paragraph in the bill authorizing the ex- tension of the circle at 1th and U streets, and this item wes ruled out. There was but little debate upon the bill after The Star's account closed, and the later pro- ceedings were devoid of interest. alse The Stamp Robbery. ‘As announced in The Star, Wm. B. Smith was convicted yesterday afternoon of rob- bing the bureau of engraving and printing of 70,000 two-cent postage stamps in last September. The jury were an hour and twenty minutes in reaching a verdict,which contained a recommendation to the mercy of the court, and it was stated that on the first ballot the vote was eleven to one in favor of conviction. A motion for a new trial was made and the prisoner remanded to jail. It is expected that the trial of Brown, who, according to the testimony in Smith's trial, assisted Smith in disposing of the stamps in New York, will be called in New York next Monday. It is understood that Assistant District Attorney Tracy L. Jef- fords, who prosecuted Smith, will assist in the prosecution of Brown, after which Beach, another indicted party, will be tried here. a Street Railway Men. The Street Railway Protective Union met last evening at Costello’s Hall. A great deal of business looking to the strengthen- ing of the union was transacted. Vresi- dent O. T. Sturgis presided and I. W. Gwynn served as secretary. The main thing done during the evening was the ini- tiation of about seventy-five railroad men into the new order. None of the members would give out the information as to the company employing these men, but there have been several indications pointing to the fact that they were Eckington and Soldiers’ Home men. A number of vigor- cus speeches were made, and the sugges- tion was made that Congress he urged to appoint a commission to inquire into the condition of reilroad matters in the Dis- trict. —_——_—_ Restrained From Selling.

Mrs. Ford, nee JessieMcGoy, was once a gocd-looking woman, bat she has taken 80 much whisky and spent go much of her time in the workhouse:that'she has lost all her beauty, and nowsliquor has such a strong hold on her that she thinks she is beyond redemption. .When she was in court several weeks ago, she was penniless, and at her request thexourt sent her down until pension day. Her husband is a pen- sioner, and when he amd bis wife were re- leased the money Uncle; Sam paid him reached coffers of saloons, and then Jessie, who broke her leg many months ago, had to go to the hospital. Five days ago she left the hospital, and an hour after she left she was under the irfluence of liquor. ‘And I’ve been on a spree ever since,” she told Judge Kimbali this morning. “What did I do with you when you were here before?” the court asked. “You gave us fifteen days.” “And what have you been doing since you got out?” “I was in the hospital until about five days ago, and I’ve been drinking since the hat do you want now “I want to go down ror a few days, to straighten out.” “Ten days.” Crowd of Beggars. Charles Heilig and Patrick Mahoney. young men who were characterized by Cab- man Cleveland as “bums,” were in the procession on a charge cf vagrancy, and several witnesses appeared against them. “These men,” said a policeman, “have been hanging about a saloon on B street, across the street from the Baltimore and Potomac depcet.” “There are five of them in the crowd,” said a witness, ‘and two of them usually remain in the saloon while the others gO out and beg for money for liquor.” Yesterday they sold three overcoats, so it was stated, but this they denied. “JT sold an overcoat,” said Mahoney. ‘Where did you get it?” “It was my own coat, and I sold it off ba Why ata you sell it?” “Because I was short of cash.” After the prisoners had been given an opportunity to tell their side of the story the judge asked Heflig if he had ever been arrested before. , was Heilig’s response. “Where “I was arrested in Richmond for running a spinning jenny at the fair," he answered, “and I was also arrested at Lancaster for being drunk.” ‘The men exhibited an anxiety to get out of the city, and for this purpose the court took their personal bonds,telling them they were not the kind of people wanted here. He Was Guilty. “Guilty,” replied a comfortably dressed stranger,whose name was given as Michael McMahon. Last night when the man was arrested he was drunk, and he admitted that he had come here on a freight train, “Thirty days,” said the judge. “But I would like to express myself,” said the prisoner. He was permitted to @o so, and his story was that he came here from New York on a passenger train, having paid his car fare. “Have you been drinking?” sir; and that’s what brought me hat do you intend sto do now?” ‘Leave the cit: “Personal bonds.” ae ee Damages Awarded. The jury in the case of Milton M, Hol- land against Leorard C.

Norton, general manager, last Aight gave an exhibition of the Rogers system of printing by telegraph, which he says Is to be put in practical operation be- tween the cities of Washington and Balti- more within the next two weeks. The ex- hibition took place at the office of the United States Postal Printing Telegraph Company, in the Kellogg building, and was an interesting demonstration of the possi- bilities of electricity in a rew direction. A typewriting machine, an electric machine fer transmitting, a machine for receiving and a coil of wire representing a distance of 200 miles were utilized in the operation. The message was first written on a type- writing machine with a punching machine attached. While the operator played on the keys of the typewriter, the puncher registered each letter in holes in a paper tape arranged in a coil. The arrangement of the holes represented the letters. When the message was finished the operator took off the perforated tape and placed it on the sending machine, where small metallic fingers played upon it and transmitted tele- graphically a complete duplication of the holes in the tape to the receiving machine at the other end of the wire. This machine worked synchronously with the sending machine, and registered the same letters in Roman characters at the same time on a sheet of paper. The message was printed and ready for delivery almost simultaneous with its sending. It is claimed that 200 words a minute can be transmitted and printed by this system, and that even greater speed will be developed when cer- tain improvements are made. —_._ The Columbian Election, The Debating Society of the Columbian University completed their organization last night, which was commenced last Tuesday, when Allan O.
