Willet, the boy who was drowned at the bathing beach Saturday afternoon, as published in Sat- urday’s Star, took place from the home of his parents, 1220 Connecticut avenue, this afternoon. As published in Saturday's Star, the unfortunate boy went skating in the morning, but the ice was too thin in places, and when he went out where an old dredge is anchored in the tidal reservoir he went under the ice. His hat had blown from his head and he was making an ef- fort to overtake it when the fatal acci- dent oceurred. The drowning boy came to the surface of the water and made an ef- fort to climb on the ice, but each time the fce broke, and he went down for the last time before the necessary life-saving ap- Pliances could be obtained. —— Regarding Signs.

They Are in Connection With the Virginia Race Tracks and Cover the Entire Field. <2 The Alexander Island race track case will come up in court at Richmond in a few days, when the state hopes to make a showing which will convince the court that winter racing is a nuisance. This fight is directed solely against the race track and not against the low gambling dens only a few hundred feet from the race track fence. This information was given Saturday, when Judge Norton of the Alexandria corporation court came here to get a number of affidavits to use in his case against the race track. He procured a number of affidavits, prin- cipally from members of the detective corps and newspaper reporters, but some of the affidavits did not suit the judge, for the reason that they covered the entire stamping ground of alleged “crooks,” in- cluding the notorious Jackson City, where gambling dens are conducted openly and without the slightest attempt at conceal- ment. When a request for the affidavits was received by the police it was at first supposed that the Virginia authorities would attempt to remove all the places of attraction for the gamblers and others who were not desired. Some of the officers, however, had an idea that it was nothing more nor less than a fight between the St. Asaph’s and Alexander Island race tracks, and for this reason they were careful to see that their affidavits covered the entire territory yet the racing and gambling is permit- red. Inspector Hoellinberger’s Affidavit. The affidavit of Inspector Hollinberger reads: “That he is the inspector of detec- tives of the metropolitan police force of the District of Columbia, that he is ac- quainted with the places in Virginia at the south end of the Long bridge, known as Jackson City, Alexander Island and St. Asaph’s, where races are conducted; that the crowd frequenting these races is very largely composed of thieves, confidence men, bunco-steerers and people of that class, and that by reason of the existence of sald places a large crowd of such per- sons is drawn to the city of Washington for the purpose of attending said races: that when looking for pickpockets and thieves the officers under his control are generally sent first to the said race tracks in order to locate them, with the intention of arresting them when they return to the clty of Washington; that the crowd fre- quenting said race course is composed of a very rough element from all over the country; that he considers the conducting of races at the said places a nuisance and menace to law and good order to the whole surrounding country; that since races have been broken up at the northern race tracks the rough element seems to have centered at the said race courses, and that, owing to the character of the crowds frequenting said places, the surroundings within a mile of said courses have become a den of in- iquity; that the general idea seems to pre- vail amongst the said crowds attending the said race courses that there is no law in Virginia to reach them, or, if there is, that the same will not be enforced.” Not Satisfactory. - ‘The affidavits of several of the detectives covered virtually the same ground, and sgme of them recited the fact that rob- beries had been committed in the vicinity of some of these places. Judge Norton called for the affidavits Jate Saturday afternoon, and when he read the contents of Inspector Hollinberger’s affidavit printed above he frankly admitted that he thought he could not use it in the present case. “We are making this fight,” he said, “against a particular race track. We think winter racing is a nuisance and ought to be stopped.” Inspector Hollinberger told him that the authorities here had stated the case ex- actly as it affects this city. If the fight is a factional one of one race track against the other, the inspector told him. the offi- cers here would aave nothing to do with it. Judge Norton denied that such was the case. He said that if these things were going on within one mile of the city of Alex- andria he could soon put a stop to them, but the county authorities are powerless. His attention was called to the duings at Jackson City, and that, he said, comes under the sheriff of the county. “But even in this,” he said, “the sheriff particularly interested. He is paid cents for the service of a paper or an arrest, and certainly he is not going to risk being assaulted for that small amount of money.” He said that the county authorities are unable te cope with the matter, and, in fact, the sheriff has very little jurisdiction, anyway. Inspector Hollinberger told the judge that his men would not be a party to the fight between the race tracks, and he positively would not change his affidavit to fit the one track and wink at the other violations of law. “We are against the whole evil,” said the inspector. “Summer racing attracts just as bad a crowd as winter racing, and if Virginia can stand it the people here will, of course, have to stand it as best they can.” The judge took the affidavits with him, but said he feared they would be of no use to him. —_—.—__ The Brooke Exhibit. The exhibition of paintings by Mr. Rich- ard N. Brooke, which is the local attrac- ticn at the Fischer Art Gallery this week, is well worthy the attention of connois- seurs, collectors and lovers of art gener- ally. The catalog contains forty-six num- bers, and in range of both subject and treatment well illustrates Mr. Brooke’s versatility and powers. This is, we be- lieve, the first public view of his work ever given by Mr. Brooke, but it is te be hoped he will be so encouraged by this effort that it will not be his last. —— Officers Installed.

Fears Felt of Spreading of Disease Through Laundry Boxes. ‘The health officials are considering the matter of transmission of disease by means of laundry boxes. These paper boxes, as now used, present a channel, it is claimed, for microbes. Soiled clothes are sent to the laundry in them and clean clothes re- turned in the same box. It is thought by those who are considering the question that this is an unsafe policy. Some of the laundries in the city use a heavy paper box, which has printed upon it this notice: “Please return this box with your soiled linen.” This request is made not so much for the direct purpose of economy as to guide the patron back to the same laundry at which his clothes were last washed. This box is in a large percentage of cases returned in conformity to the invitation. It may therefore be infected with any in- fectious ailment which the patron of that laundry has. Then this box, if it be in a fair state of preservation, is laid aside and used again for the return of a wash most probably to another customer. Thus customer No. % has had his clean collars, cuffs, socks, handkerchiefs, &c., returned to him in a box whick but a little while before contained the worn apparel of cus- tomer No. 1. Danger lurks in this system, according to scientists, who say that the boxes upon their return to the laundry should be de- stroyed, if there is no way ‘to safely dis- infect them. Some of the laundries at which the reporter for The Star called do not request the return of the box, but do use a box as long as it remains sound. —E— SUGAR TRUST CASES. Pleadings Today and Habeas Corpus Proceedings Tomorrow. Meesrs. Jere M. Wilson and Nathaniel Wilson, counsel, respectively, for Messrs. Macartney and Havemeyer, Searles and Seymour, this morning appeared in Crim- inal Court No. 2, and entered pleas of not guilty to the indictments charging them with refusing to answer certain questions put to them by Senator Gray’s sugar trust investigating committee. Judge Cole di- rected the pleas to be entered and con- tinued the bail of the defendants in the sum of $1,000 each. In the case of Elver- ton R. Chapman, who is in the nominal custody of Marshal Wilson, Mr. Jere M. Wilson explained that tomorrow morning the United States Supreme Court would be asked to grant a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Chapman would, therefore, withhold his plea until after the matter had been disposed of by the Supreme Court. Friday morning District Attorney Bir- ney wiil require Correspondents Edwards and Shriver to plead to the indictments re- turned against them. ——E The Shakespeare Club.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA A Typical Winter Sunday Enjoyed by Everyhodyo¥ esterday. Many Notes of General Interest From Down the River—An Address fee to Young Men. 7! - Yesterday was a typical winter Sunday and in consequence ithe congregations in the various chugcheg were larger than usual, Interesting sermons were preached in all the churcheg by the resident rectors. At the Southern Methodist Church last night Rev. Mr. Benson commenced a ¢eries of sermons on gambling and other vices, and, judging from the first one, they will prove very interesting. The congregation at the Railroad Mission was larger than usual, and owing to the lack of space all could not be accommodated. Arrangements are being made for larger rooms. Everything was quiet in pelice circles and no arrests were made by the police. During the afternoon a good many people took the electric cars for the driving park to spend an hour or so. Row in a Bar Room. The old Eldorado House, on Cameron street, which is now known as the New York House, was the scene of a row on Saturday night, in which, fortunately, no- body was seriously hurt. From what could be learned it appears that the proprietor, L. W. Brennan, had left town on Friday, leaving two men in charge of the place, and they, with some others who had come in, got to fighting among themselves. Dur- ing the melee whisky and beer bottles and glasses were used in profusion and Louis ‘Winegardt, who was in the saloon, was struck several times. The row seems to have been the outcome of Mrs. Rosanna Brown having sworn out an attachment against the goods of Brennan, who is her tenant, charging him with being an ab- sconding debtor. On his return Brennan found the saloon in a state of chaos. Address to Young Men. On Friday next at St. Paul’s Church Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith, rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Washington, will deliver an address before the Brother- hood of St. Andrew of this city, to which the public generally and men particularly have been invited. The seats are free, and the entire center of the church has been reserved for men. ‘This is the first of a scries of addresses to be given under the auspices of the brotherhood, and from the interest being taken in it promises to be very successful. The subject of the first address will be “St, Paul as an Inspiration to Young Men.”” Lee Camp Banquet. The banquet of R. E. Lee Camp, Con- federate Veterans of this city, at the Hotel Fleischmann on Saturday, in celebra- tien of the birthday of Gen. Robert Edward Lee, was a decided success in every par- ticular, and enthusiasm reigned supreme. The toasts, as mentioned in The Star, were responded to with a vim. The camp at- tended the banquet in a body, wearing their uniforms of confederate gray. The banqueting hall was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and potted plants, while the walls were draped with bunting of all kinds, the confederate colors occupying a conspicuous place with portraits of south- ern commanders. Many prominent ex-con- federates were among the invited guests. . Nates, The city couneil will hold its regular semi-monthly meeting tomorrow night. Mayor Strauss is confined to his home with a sore throat. Arrangements are being made for the compilation of a new directory for this city. Mr. Willoughby Reade will give the sec- ord of a series ef public readings at the Episcopal High Scnool tonight. Misses Nesmith and Baker are the guests of Miss Lucy Lee. Miss Lizzie Wattles of Annapolis Junc- tion was in the city’ yesterday. It is said chat sparring matches will be resumed at Dan.

Vhilip Sousa in this city was fully demon- strated by the large audience that tilled the Grand Opera House last evening to listen to the prograra that he offered to be tnter- preted by his excellent military band. Al- though he had but one of his own compo- sitions announced, nearly all his popular marches were played before the evening was over. The audience appreciated the endid work of the band in compositions ifal technique and de’ y of John marches that have made Sousa’s fame as a composer, and have justly given him the title of the March King.

The exile of the members of troop A, first United States cavalry, from Fort Myer to Fort Stanton, New Mexico, has not deprived them of all the pleasures of life, according to a letter that has Just reached The Siar from Private Murdock of that organization, telling of a jolly ball that was held on New Year eve. He said that the officers of the regiment were gen- erously disposed to give the men every chance to have a good time, and as he wrote, at midnight between the two years, he told of how the ball and banquet wei then in full swing, with e one having @ royal dance and feast. Three musicians were furnishing the rhythm for the m whirl, and tabies were laden with good things to eat. In the assemblage there were several American ladies, and many more of the Mexican land, with gallants from the surrounding country, resplendent in their holiday attire. Mr. Murdock writes that the men are all contented and happy, and are fast falling in love with Fort Stanton as an abiding place. 5-Ib. Box Matchless Cream. Butter, $1.60. D.Wm.

Geoghegan of the steamer Potomac, from Baltimore to Washington, rescued the crew of the disabled schooner Pocahontas near the mouth of the Poto- mac river Saturday morning. The steamer was making out of Yeocomico river in the teeth of a stiff northwest gale when the schooner was sighted in distress off Lynch’s Point. The Pocahontas had lost her mainmast, and when sighted by the Potomac had fallen off into the trough of the sea, and was laboring heavily, with the seas making a clean breach over her. Her crew of six men could be seen vainly trying to bring the schooner’s head to the wind, but this could not be effected. Capt. Geoghegan blew his whistle to en- courage the crew, for it looked as if they would .go down befcre tie steamer could reach the scene. The Potomac was headed for the wreck and ran down to her at full speed. The schooner was found to be in @ deplorable plight and the crew in the most imminent danger. The mainmast had not gone overboard, but hung suspended by a few ropes, swinging wildly from side to side, and threatening to carry away the foremast or to fall upon the sailors be- neath. The men were drenched with the water that deluged the deck as the waves swept over the vessel, and were al- most stiff with cold. It was feared that the strain of the swaying spar had opened some seams, causing a leak, and that the vessel might sink, in which case it would be very difficult to save the crew. The steamer ran across the schooner’s bow, and a small line was thrown over the deck, by which a hawser was hauled on board and made fast. The steamer then pulled the schooner head into the wind, the mainmast going by the board as she came around, but fortunately falling clear of the shivering crew, who were huddled aft. The steamer then started for Yeocomico river with the schooner in tow, ‘and, although the vessel was constantly swept by the seas, she kept afloat and was brought to anchor in still water.

The central location of THIS NINTH STREET MARKET HALL, where all the lines of steam, clec- tric, cable, horse cars and herdics center, from every section of the city, renders its uses more valuable than mest any of the other large halls in the city. Applications will be received fer leasing it in its present or in a condition refitted for the uses re- ruled. The Upper Two Stories Of the Arcade Building, : Which have been recently used AS PRIVATE OF- FICE QUARTERS FOR THE VARIOUS OFFICERS OF THE DISTRICT MILITIA, embracing about 50 large rooms, with a wide hallway running through the center in both stories from east to west, con- necting with the wide fron veranda on the first story and ifon passageway and labor- ate bridge to Pennsylvania avenue through the center of Market Park, also by iron walks to the main market buildings and elevators, will also be for lease on and after February Ist. ‘This very central handsome brick building, bav- ing a frontage towards Pennsylvania avenue and the park of 330 feet, was designed when crected for a “Hotel Cafe,” where rooms could be rented with a Cafe on each floor for serving meals as desired, and can be now very easily fitted up into 100 rooms, with two cafes in the center and with Kitchen and store rooms in the center of third story, where steam heating pipes for cooking are located, and long lines of warming plpes running throagh orerhead, the entire length of the main, east and west hallways, Outside fron stairways connect the éast and west ends with 7th and 9th streets and Louisiana and Pennsylvania avenues. ‘At or aboat the time this new building was comn- pleted some exterprising gentlemen were negotiat- ing for this vers desirable location and new build- ing to be used as a Grand Bazaar and an adjunet to the great Central Market for the keeping and sale of every class and variety of goods or articles so that any person entering the market grounds * from Pennsylvania avenuc, 7th, 9th or B stcects would find in this Arcade Building, divided into 100 sections, a regular John Wanamaker store and bazaar, for which the building fs now admirably adapted. This use, however, was abandoned tem- porarily for the occupaney of the District militia, but could now be carried out by the use of the Arcade Building for a sectional variety store, and twenty sections or rooms could be easily fitted up on the first floor from the avenue, south side, next to the market proper, for flowers, with glass fronts, In which cold afr could: be introduced from the cold storage pipes below and warm air from the steam pipes above, each to be turned on al- ternately when required, and thns flowers and plants could be kept in this floral section of the bazaar in as fresh and safe condition until sold and delivered as if they had remained in the bot house where they were grown.
