On Monday night next a long-felt and much needed want in this city will be filled by the organization of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Between eighty and a hundred prominent merchants and other citizens will meet in the Peabody schcol building for the purpose of erganiza- tion. A full corps of officers will-be elected and the by-laws adopted. There will be a beautiful musical program rendered by some of the best local talent, and the meeting will be an extremely interesting ore. This branch is organized under an act of the last legislature permitting the organization of local branches. This work is said to be particularly good by those who live in places where the society now operates, and they predict “good benefits for Alexandria animals. The Literary Class. The regular weekly meeting of the Lit- erary Class was held in Peabody Hall last night and was, as usual, well attended. The following subjects were considered during the evening: History of the United States, spelling and civil government. By what bonds were the United States united frcm 1775 to 1789? Under what circum- stances does the House of Representatives elect the President? How many times this has occurred. What is an ex posto facto law? Under what conditions may a per- son be deprived of his property? The dis- cussions were all interesting and extremely entertaining. Court cf Inquiry. Gov. O’Ferrall has appointed the court of inquiry asked for by the officers of the first regiment. It is constituted as follows: Capt. George A. Mushbach of Alexandria, Capt. R. W. Tomlin of Necrfolk,Capt. Hugh T. Nelson of Charlottesville and Col. R. B. Boykin of Isle of Wight, judge advocate. ‘The court hasno power to pass sentence. Its duty is to investigate the cause of the troubles in the regiment and report the facts to the governor, who will, after read- ing the report, proceed as he may see St. The court wili meet in Richmond on Jan- uary « It is understood that the gov- ernor gives the court power to make a most searching investigation, and the out- come is looked forward to by the mili- tary people not only of this state, but all over the volunteer militia. Arrested in Washington. Joseph Jones, alleged to b2 one of the four negroes who entered and robbed Josephus Blouse’s store- Thursday night, was ar- rested at the Baltimore and Potomac de- pot in Washington last night by Lieut. Smith of the Alexandria police force and Patrolman Lamb. Lieut. Smith went to Washington yesterday morning with a tip that Joseph Jones, a negro of bad charac- ter, was one of the men wanted. He asked Inspector Hollinberger to help him find the man, and Detectives Lacy and Helan were put on the case. During the forenoon they arrested Joseph Jones, a bootblack, who was afterward released. Lieut. Smith brought his prisoner to Alexandria last night. It is his opinion that the other three negroes who were in the robbery are in Washington, Notes. Owing to the many robberies of late Mayor Strauss has issued orders to. the police to arrest all suspicious characters seen on the street at night. Rev. Thomas E. Carson, pastor of the Methodist Church, gave a reception at the rectory last night to the members of his cecngregation. At a meeting of the Alexandria Council, National Union, held last right, the officers recently elected, as mentioned in The Star, were installed. M Virginia Minnigerode has gone to ftern, N. Y., on a visit to friends. Miss Catherine Critcher gave a reception lastnight in honor of Miss Boydie Faulk- ner of West Virginia. The regular meeting of Oriental Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held last night. The annual banquet of R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, will be given on the 1th instant, Gen. Lee’s birthday. Mr. W. D. Buckner of the Theological Seminary will conduct the services at the Railroad Reading Rooms tomorrow after- neon, At the meeting of Potomac Lodge, I. O. O. F., last night, the initlatory degree was conferred on one candidate, a Used His Gun. Last evening Otto Evans, a young color- ed man, put on his best suit of clothes and a bright red tie, large enovgh for an an- archist’s flag, and attended a “parlor so- cial” on L street northwest, near New Jersey avenue, and he went there prepared to clean out the house if anything happen- ed. A loaded pistol was his weapon, but as there was no trouble 4m the house and he had no occasion to use it he went out- side and frightened the whole neighbor- hood by discharging the weapon. For a few minutes there was an excit- ing time. People in their homes thought that a murder had been committed and were afraid to open their doors and win- dows, After waiting a few minutes, some of them ventured out to ascertain the cause of the trouble. The screaming had ceased and they naturally supposed that the man who fired the shot had disap- peared, but he had only gone as far as the corner and there he fired another-shot. By this time Policemen Hayhurst and Aul- dridge appeared and placed Evans under arrest. ‘This morning he appeared in the Police Court for trial and was given sixty days for carrying the pistol. For discharging the weapon he was fined $5 or ilfteen days. ———.—__ Death of Gen. Alfred Ellet. Mrs. Wm. D. Cabell has been informed that her uncle, Gen. Alfred W. Ellet, died at Eldorado, Kan., on the 9th instant. Gen. Ellet was one of the greatest of volunteer heroes of the war. He served with rare distinction under Grant and Sherman, but probably his most valuable services were rendered in the memorable naval engage- ments on the Mississippi. For a time he commanded the Mississippi marine brigade, and took a conspicuous part in the fights at Island No. 10, at Vicksburg, at\Memphis. In the engagement at Memphis he com- manded the ram Monarch, and succeeded his brother, Col. Charles Ellet, in command of the squadron, when the latter was wounded, and his ship, Queen of the West, was disabled. Col. Ellet died from his in- juries on the 2ist of June, 1862, and his younger brother, Alfred W., was promoted to his place. He took full command of the ram fleet, and afterward incorporated it with the marine brigade. = Ellet leaves two sons, Edward C. and Wm. H., and a daughter, Mrs. Charles T. Kendall of Chi- cago. —————————— Corcoran Gallery Open. The Corcoran Art Galiery was thrown open to the public last evening from 7:30 to 10 o'clock. if there had ever been any question as to the popularity of these “open evenings” it would be disproved by the fact that in the two hours and a half more than 3,000 people took advantage of the opportunity to view the works of art by gaslight. Watts’ picture, “Love and Life,” which has been the subject of so much talk, came in for a large share of attention. —_—>—_—_. Real Estate Transfers. Dezds in fee have been filed as follows: Geo. W.

Breuninger, lot 4, bik. 22, Co- lumbia Heights; $10, THE CHARITY BALL. It Will Be Even More Brilliant This Year Than Formerly. One of the chief events In Washington society which occurs every winter is the charity ball for the benefit of the Chil- dren's Hospital. Each one has been more successful than the preceding one, both in the number present and the strength of the receipts, and the one this year bids fair to excel the others at all points. A great many ladies prominent in high cir- cles in Washington are on the patronage list, and this will doubtless have a great effect on the attendance. The decorations, the music and the arrangements have all been of the highest order in the past, and no efforts have been spared this year to bring the one which comes on the 16th in- stant up to the high standard set by the others. Tickets may be secured from any member of the board of lady managers, at the door or at Thompson's drug store on 15th street. A great many have been secured already, but the committee will take good care to see that the supply does not fail. The following is the list of patronesses: Mrs. Gresham, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Olney Mrs. Bissell, Miss Herbert, Miss Morton, “Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Shir: Mrs. Brewer, Mrs. White, Mra. Draper, Mrs. Hitt, Lady Pauncefote, Mad- ame Patenotre, Madame Romero, Madame Mendonca, Madame Guzman, Madame Ze- ballos, Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Sher- man, Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. Richard Town- send, Mrs. John Lee Carroll, Mrs. A. C. Barnes and Mrs. S. S. Howland, and the reception committee consists of Miss Mil- ler, Mrs. Stone, Mrs. McMillan, Mrs, Sheri- dan, Mrs. Glover, Mrs. John Rodgers, Mrs. G. L. Bradley, Mrs. T. B. M. Mason, Mrs. Hammond, Mrs. McCauley, Mrs. John O. Jcnes and Miss Schenck. ——— The defaulting state treasurer of South Dakota, W. W. Taylor, married the sister of ex-Sheriff Benedict of Verona, N.
