Dr. Alexander Mackay-Smith of St. John’s Church, Wash- ington, before the Brotherhood of St. An- drew at St. Paul’s Church last night was one of the most interesting of the kind ever delivered in this city and was listened to with wrapt attention by a large con- gregation. The entire center of the church was filled with the members of the brother- hood and their friends. In the chancel were Revs. Henderson Suter of Christ Church, Clarence E. Ball of Grace Church, Rev. Carl E. Grammar of the Theological Seminary and Rev. P. P. Phillipps of St. Paul's Church. The evening service of the Episcopal church, with its impressive mu- sic, was held, after which Dr. Mackay- Smith in eloquent words pictured the life and works of St. Paul and held the atten- tion of the congregation from beginning to end. Every one that heard him could not but feel benefited as each sentence was ut- tered. The aoctor held an impromptu 1e- ception in the vestry room of the church after the service, and many pressed for- ward to shake his hand and thank him for his timely remarks. The service was in celebration of St. Paul's day, and the sub- ject, “St. Paul as an Inspiration to Young Men,” was thoroughly in keeping with it. The brotherhocds of Christ Church and Grace Church will have similar services later on. Charter Granted. In the corporation court yesterday, Judge J. K. M. Norton, presiding, a charter was granted to the Potomac Fire and Marine Irsuranc2 Company of Alexandria, Va., the purposes of which are to do a general fire and marine insurance business. The principal office is to be in this city, with E. B. Briggs of Washington as president. The other officers will be named later on. , Tbe Alexandria Assembly. ‘The young ladies that attended the dance at McBurney’s Hall last night, given by some of the members of the Alexandria Assembly, never looked prettier and a more successful dance has not been given by this club this season. The miserable weather kept many awey who would other- wise have gone, but even that did not keep, the dance from being a most pleasant af- fair, and it was with deep regret that the strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” were wafted over the air. The committee in charge, Messrs. Douglass, Stuart and O. W. Wattles, deserve much credit for the success of their efforts. After the dance Mrs. L. E. Uhler, assisted by her accom- plished daughters, Misses Mai and Annie, entertained a large number of their friends at an elaborate supper, which was a fit- ting climax to the pleasures of the evening. Among those present were; Misses Maggie Moore of Fairfax county, Russell of Win- chester, McCormick of Berryville, Rosalie Stuart of King George county, Anna Smith, Mai Uhler, Annie Uhler, Lucy Lee, Eliza Daingerfield, Lucy Brookes, Lulie Critcher, Sallie V. Datngerfield and Re- becca Daingertield of Alexandria, Messrs. Armat, Stark, and Yellett of Washington, Dr. Charles Diffendurffur of Baltimore, and Messrs. Ashby Miller, C. F. Wood, Wm. H. F. Beckham, M. M. Davis, J. T. Beckham, jr. E. B. Taylor, George H. Robinson, Chas. Stuart, Douglass Stuart, H. S. Wa tles, J. K. M. Norton, R. H. Wattles, R. F. Knox, jr., T. L. Cockrell, A. C. Mur- daugh, A. B. Davis, J. D. Lannon, G. H. Norton, jr., H. C. Yohe, William’ Bryant, Louis C. Barley and Dr. Julian T. Miller of this city. Mesdames L. E. Ubler and Ashby Miller were the chaperons of the evening, and did the honors most grace- fully. Notes. Miss McCormick of Berryville is the guest } of Miss Minnigerode, cn Prince street. Miss Russell of Winchester is visiting Miss Carlin, on Duke st:cet. Ernest Langley, Robert Arnold and Har- ry Poss were acquitted in the police court yesterday afternoon on the charge of steal- ing a set of harness from E. E. Lawler.

Mr. John White of Loudoun is on a visit to friends in this city. ‘The remains of Mr. Jerry Long, whose death was mentioned in The Star, and which have been in the receiving vault at St. Mary’s cemetery for ten days, were taken to Washington this morning for in- terment.

George Dent, an eight-year-old colored boy, who is small for his age, and Sam Armstrong, a twelve-year-old boy, were in the Police Court today because they were too near a crap game in Constitution alley last night. The smalier boy of the two had one cent tn his pocket when arrested, while the older boy had no cash capital. They had built a fire in the alley near a fence and the blaze made light enough for the crap shooters to count their “7-11.” Dent was released because of his age and his companion was fined $5 or fifteen days. a Slightly Injured. The slippery condition of the road near Benning this morning caused the upset- ting of a mili wagon. Misses Fannie and Ida Leapiey, who were in the wagon at the time, were slightly injured. ——._—_ Last Night's Fire. Last evening about 8 o’clock there was a bright blaze in South Washington, on 6th street between M aif! N streets, which did about $1,500 damage. The fire originated in @ vacant house, No. 1237, and spread to the house of Capt. Samuel Walters, ad- joining. Neighbors rescued the household furniture and the firemen. succeeded .in confining the flames in Capt. Walters house to the roof. The damage to the un- occupied house amounted to about $1,000, while the loss to Capt. Walters is about —— Sentenced Today. Charles Willis and William A. Clark, re- cently convicted of perjury, were today sentenced to two years each in the peni- tentiary. —_-___ About 9 o’clock this morning an alarm was sounded from box 88 because of fire in the house of Benjamin Campbell, No. 2104 L street, where a defuctive flue caused $50 damage. An hour later box 712 was used to notify the department of fire in James Hoffman’s house, No. 1609 35th street, Georgetown. This fire was caused by a defective flue, and the damage amounted to $15. About 11 o’clock No. 2 engine company went out on a local for fire in a house on New York avenue near 14th street. The fire was caused by a defective flue, but no damage was done. GALE ON THE COAST Two Coal Barges, With Ten Men, Parted From Their Tug. WRECKED ON COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS A Tow of Five Barges Lost Off Point Judith, —— STORM IN THE WEST NEW YORK, January 26.—The storm which visited Staten Island last night was a severe one. The wind came out from the sea and blew a very strong breeze, accom- panied by a thick snow storm, which, dur- ing the early morning, settled into a driv- ing rain, flooding streets and gutters and causing great discomfort to those who were compelled to walk to the early trains for the ferry. An unusually high tide pre- vatls along the Staten Island shores, but no damage has been reported. At 1:30 a.m., during a heavy southeast gale and fog, when about seven miles off Long Branch, the coal barges Esopus and Fisher parted the hawser- conneeting them to the tug Ice King. They were coming from Philadelphia with a cargo of coal. Both barges were shortly lost out of sight. Five men are on each barge. The British bark Beatrice, which went ashore last night near Spermaceti Iife- saving station, is breaking up. The bark is head-on to the beach. All the crew were rescued by the life-savers. The stores on the bark were valued at $3,000, With the exception of the Beatrice the coast is reported clear of wrecks as far as barae- gat. Wrecked on Norman's Woe. GLOUCESTER, Mass., January 26.—The fishing schooner Leader of this port went ashore on the dreaded reef of Norman's Woe, off the entrance of the outer harbor, this morning, and is now breaking up fast. Ten of the crew got ashore, but four are believed to have been drowned by the over- turning of a dory. The missing men are all Portuguese and belong in this city. Their names are Joseph Hume, cook; Al- bert H. Viator, Frank Brier, Joseph Fran- cis. The Leader left this harbor last night, bound out on a shore fishing trip. Fifteen miles out she encountered a heavy storm and put about to return to harbor. On her way in she went ashore on Norman’s Woe. Heavy seas poured over her, and it was evident that she could not long withstand the awful pounding on the rocks. - Two dories were put off from the vessel and in them the crew of fourteen men started for shore. One of the boats reach- ed land safely. The other, containing seven men, had proceeded but a short distance from the schoouer’s side when it capsized. Three of the almost exhausted satlors | reached the shore. The others have not since been seen and there is little doubt that they were drowned. The Leader is fast breaking up. She was worth about $5,000. An unknown schooner is sighted off Mag- nolia, and it is thought she has either lost her rudder or there is no one aboard, for she drifts about at the mercy of the gale. Five Barges Lost. NEW LONDON, Conn., January 26.—The tug Sea King reported here this morning that she lost a tow of five barges off Point Judith in the gale. Ten men and three women were drowned. The barges founder- ed at 2:45 this morning. They are the Al- bert M., American Eagle, Croecus, John J. Naulty "and F. A. Dingee. Four of them were bound to Providence and one to New- port. They were from Perth Amboy and coal laden. Severe Storm at Chicago. CHICAGO, January 26.—Last night's storm was the worst of the season here. The snow drifted and packed in a manner that made it almost impossible to contend with. All transportation was seriously hampered. Nearly every through train last night and this morning was behind time. DES MOINES, Iowa, January 26.—The great storm which began yesterday con- tinued most of the night. Street lines are entirely at a standstill. OTTUMWA, Iowa, January 26.—The snow ceased falling at 4 a.m today after con- tinting twenty-seven hours. It snowed twelve inches. Trains are all five to twenty hours late except the Burlington. Many are completely blocked. MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, January 26— The storm entirely ‘subsided during the night and the blockade was not as bad es anticipated, but trains on all roads were from one to nine hours late this morning. ‘Traffic, however, reached nearly normal conditions again ‘this afternoon. ‘The cold- est point was 6 below. ————— JAPAN'S LATEST VICTORY. The Chinese Attacked Hai Cheng and Were Again Repulsed. YOKOHAMA, Japan, January 26.—A dis- patch received here from Gen. Nodzu gives details of the fighting which occurred be- tween the Japanese and Chinese troops at Hai-Cheng, Manchuria, on January 22. He seys that the Japancse waited until the Chinese were within 600 yards of their po- sition, and then a large portion of the fifth infantry brigade, with a battalion of the ninetcenth infaatry, supported by three batteries of artillery, charged the Chinese left flank. The enemy, taken by surprise, fied in confusion toward the northeast and Newchwang. The Chinese prisoners who were captured state that the Chinese attack was conduct- ed by Gens, Chang-Shung and Iku-Tang. ‘The Chinese numbered 20,000 men. Official dispatches which have been re- ceived here from Yung-Cheng, on the Chinese mainland, state that the second batch of Japanese transports completed the landing of the troops by noon on January 22. The enemy made but little resistance. ‘These dispatches add that during tie afternoon of January 21 heavy firing was heard in the direction of Wei-Hai-Wei, and the Japanese outposts, in the evening, re- ported that the flashing of electric lights could be seen in the same direction. An ineffective Commander. HIROSHIMA, Japan, January 26.—A dis- patch received at the Japanese headquar- ters from Admiral Ito announces that the Chinese warships are still lying in the harbor of Wei-Hai-Wei, and he adds that the Chinese forts and torpedo boats opened fire on the Japanese fleet on Monday last, January 21, but without effect. The firing mentioned in the dispatch from Yung-Chen was undoubtedly the in- effective cannonade announced by Admiral Ito, and the electric lights which the Jap- anese outposts saw in the direction of Wei-Hai-Wei must have been those of the Chinese warships and forts, which were turned upon the Japanese fleet. TOKIO, Japan, January 26.—Gen. Nodzu reports that 8,000 Chinese troops, com- manded by Gens. Sung and Chang, are in the vicinity of Ying-Kow, Manchuria. The general adds that Gen. Hsu has occupied Newchwang. He also reports that the Chi- nese yesterday renewed the attack upon Hai-Cheng, and were repulsed after a short engagement. —_>_—__. NOT SETTLED OUT OF COURT. Breach of Promise Case Against Vis- count Deerhurst. LONDON, January 26.—It would seem that the Exchange Telegraph Company was mistaken in announcing that the action for breach of promise of marriage brought against Viscount Deerhurst has been set- tled out of court, for it is now announced that the case will be tried next week by a special jury. Viscount Deerhurst is the eldest son of the Earl of Coventry. He married Miss Virginia Bonynge, daughter of Charles W. Bonynge of California. Beyond the fact that the action is brought by a Miss Wynd- ham, very little is known of the case, as all the details have been carefully sup- pressed. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

Samuel Maddox, atiorney, of 340 Indinana avenue northwest, writes to the Comnils- sioners today, stating that when the Dis- trict authorities widened Woodley lane several years ago they appropriated 8,632.12 square feet of a tract of land known as Mt. Albans. The title at that time stood in Mrs. Carciine R. Dulaney tor life, he says, with the remainder over to her two daugh- ters, both. of whom died in the lifetime of their mother, one without issue, the other leaving two children, who are still under twenty-one years of age. Mrs. Dulaney tcck no action in her lifetime looking to ccmpeysation for the Jand thus taken, says Mr. Maddox. She died about two years x oe he says, but the guardian of the pres- eht infant owners thinks it his duty to see that they are paid for their land, or that tkey repossess themselves of what was taken from them without compensation, He | inquires if a proper amicable settlement of the matter can be reached, otherwise he will take such steps as the situation may seem to require. The matter has been | referred to the engineer department for in- vesugation and report. Wants to Know. “A Sufferer” writes to the Commissioners today asking if they are to have a square administration of the law relating to hang- ing and stationary signs over three and a half feet from the building line. The Com- missioners have so ordered, and the courts have so decreed, says the letter. He says: “Some have complied voluntarily at great inconvenience and expense. Others have been forced by arrest, etc., and others have paid no attention to the same, and are apparently unmolested, evidences of which may be seen on every business street and precinct in the city. “We want no ciass legislation or discrimi- nation in this matter; let us have the law enforced without fear or favor, not in faver of the rich against the poor, or those who honestly comply with the mandate law. Otherwise, it is a farce, inequitabie, unjust and a travesty of justice.” Bills Referred. The following bills have been referred to the Commissioners by Chairman Heard of the District committee for examination and report House bill 8630, to provide for the care and cure*of inebriates in the District of Columbia. House bill 8637, licensing itinerant ven- ders in the District of Columbia. Sewers Recommended. The Commissioners have received a re- pert from Health Officer Woodward re- gurding the sewerage facilities of Bright- weed, and he recommends as necessary for the public health that a sewer be co structed on the west side of Brightwood avenue between Florida avenue and Irvifg street; also on the east side of same ave- nue between Pomeroy and Grant avenuc. Rallrond Gates, Relative to the communication of R. M. Groundie, superintendent of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, regarding the order of the Commissioners that the Baltimore and Potomac railroad be required to oper- ate their gates at 12th and 13th streets on Maryland avenue southwest during the night, as well as during the day, and re- querting permission to operate these gates from 6 a.m. until midnight and pia notices to that effect at cach of these cross- ings, the Commissioners today ordered that the gates be kept closed and sizns be put up as requested, but, if the results prove unsatisfactory, the original order will be carried out.
