Yesterday evening the Central High School Junior Club gave a dance at Mrs. J. T. Dyers Dancing Academy, which proved to be the noteworthy eyent, socially speaking, of the high school season. A committee consisting of Capt. Butts and Adjt. English had charge of the arrange- ments, the hall being only slightly decor- ated. Regimental Adjutant John W. Brauner has resigned his position, which will be filled shortly by a promotion, probably from among the adjutants, At last Monday’s drill the following changes and promotions were published at the Eastern High School: To be captain company, *Fred R. Sites, vice C. R. Hillyer, resigned; to be first Heutenant F company, J. Theodore Graff; second eutenant, Chas. Hart; sergeant major, Horace W. Hurst; second sergeant, A. E, Baum; third ser- geant, H. B. Smith; fourth sergeant, H. Bondler; fifth sergeant, F. H. Yount. Quite an impetus to the raising of money for the Hterary has been given by the ef- forts of Messrs. H. W. Croissant and R. R. Riordan in that direction. They have im- personated very successfully “blind wid- ders" afflicted by the hard study of Greek and compelled to sell candy for a living, strolling minstrels, and have given highly imaginative “living pictures” at several matinees. A couple of young ladies have advertised, by means of dodgers, for hosie to mend at 5 cents “per square foot.” Efforts lke these have resulted not only in amusement, but in a constantly increasing store of dollars, and it will be hard for the judges—a prize ts to be given for the most original manner—to decide the contest. —_ Six Governors Were Present. The invitation by Lafayette Post, No. 140, G. A. R., of New York city, to attend a meeting in Carnegie Music Hall last night, where thesubject of military in- struction in schcols was discussed, met with responses in person from six goverrors, while all have sent letters ap- proving of the plan. Yesterday afternoon the governors met at the New Netherlands Hotel. Later they attended a drill of 500 school boys in the seventh regiment armory. The governors were Urban A, Woodbury, Vermont; D. Russell Brown, Rhode Island; O, Vincent Ccffin, Connecticut; Frederick T. Green- halge, Massachusetts; Daniel H. Hastings, Pennsylvania, and George T. Werts of New Jérsey. Lieut. Gov. Saxton was pres- ent as the representative of Gov. Morton, who was unable to attend. ——____+e+ Robbed an Express Car. The southbound Cotton Belt train was held up and robbed by two masked men near McNeil, Ark., Thursday night. The amount taken from the safe is asti- mated at $25,000. The watch and money taken from Conductor Harris were return- ed to him, on the assurance that they be- longed to him individually. It Is thought that the members of the Cook gang No. 2, who are implicated in the robbery near Ogamaw, Ark., and released for want of proof, are the men who did the job. They remarked when leaving to the ofiicers: “You have the laugh on us this time, but will come again.” And it seems they made good their threat. The passengers were not molested nor was any one hurt by the bandits. — Wrecked at Sea. Severe storms prevailed yesterday over all the coasts of Great Britain, France and Holland. A fishing boat, with a crew of seven men, has been lost, and off Cornwall | time, and to his large circle of friends the a vessel, With a crew of fourteen men, has gone down. BURNS’ BIRTHDAY.

'The St. Ge Sule of the Maryland and Virginia Steamboat Co. The Weems Line Steamboat Company of Baltimore has bought out the Maryiand and Virginia Steamboat Company. The company several years ago bought the Potomac route from the Potemac Steam- beat Company and changed the name of the company to the Maryland and Virginia Steamboat Company. By the sale the Weems line becomes the ewner of the steamers John E. Tygart, Sue and Potomac. The Potomac is a new steamer. Mr. Williams, president of the Weems lire, said he intended to do all in his power to promote the business of the route and would gladly assist in developing the coun- try along the Potomac. The service on the route will be changed so as to give the shippers along the route four trips a week instead of two. The Weems Steamboat Company was or- ganized in 1817 by George Weems and ran its first steamer to the Patuxent river. The property will be turned over to its new owner on Thursday. ——— FOLLOWED THE RACES. Several of an Undesirable Class in the Police Court. There will be no races on the Alexander Island race track next month, according to the dispatch from Richmond, as printed in The Star two days ago, end the receipt of this news fell like a thunderbolt in the camp of objectionable persons who were attracted here from other places. Wien the Gloucester and Guttenberg tracks closed these people, who were not wanted in New Jersey came here. Mest of them spend their nights in this city and go acrcss the river in the daytime. ‘There are others, however, who remain over there most of their time. So far as they have been able to do go, the local detectives have managed to get rid of the “touts,” and have no doubt succeeded in causing a scare among the hangers-on, which has resulted in their remaiming on the disputed territory ucross the river. Since the receipt of the news from Rich- mond the followers of the races have start- ed an exodus, ard some have started to return to their homes over the road, the way they came. ‘There were two of the number who did not get very far, and they turned up in the Police Court this morning, where Judge Kimball heard evidence in a charge of Vagrancy against them, William Holt and Harvey Logan were the names they gave. They were on the streets last night begging, and then they wanted to sleep in the pclace station. it was charged that they were unable to give good accounts of themselves. “The big one,” said the policeman, “told me that he had come here from the Chi- cago race track, and his companion said he had been over to Jackson City for some time.” When arraigned the prisoners plead guilty, and were sent down for thirty days. There wus a charge of vagrancy against young man named George A. Evans, a stranger in the city, and he plead not guilty. “Last night,” said an officer, “this mau came to the station and asked for lodgings. He wa: junable to give a good account of My only crim said the prisoner, “is that I am out of work. “Where are you from?” “I belong in Pittsburg.

The former lives here and is a hard-work. ing man, but last night he was out with Griggs. He waited cutside a store while Griggs went in and begged. “I didn’t know he was going to bes,” raid Littleford. “He told me he was going in the store to get cigarettes. “Griggs came in the store aud begged for said the grocer, “saying he had chiid that he wanted to bury to- day.” Griggs was sentenced to give real estate security In the sum of $100 or go down for sixty days.

As the time draws near when the crators ef Columbian again meet those of George- town in the forum, interest in the joint debates is on the increase in both the law schools. As during last winter, so this term, a series of three joint debates has been arranged to take place between stu- dents representing the law departments of Cclumblan and Georgetown universities. The first of the series will be held in Metzerott Music Hall the last week in February. Georgetown will play the part of host at the opening debate and the arrange- ments for the event are in the hands of a joint committee of the two law schools, Messrs. Darr, Weller and Wahly repre- senting Georgetown, and Messrs. Gentsch, Ely Fellows and Clay representing Colum- dian. The debaters who will champion Colum- bian were elected on Thursday evening. They are Messrs. Fred. Achenbach, Guy Underwood and Adolph Morell Sayre. Mr. Achenbach is well known as having been one of the best speakers in the of joint debates last winter. Mr. Sa: aiso favorably known as a debater, having won the annual prize debate at Columbian last year. Mr. Underwood, whfle a comparatively new man in the Debating society, shows great promise, and the Columbian boys think they have a splendid team to place in the fieid at the first debate. Only one of the Georgetown men, Battle McArdle of Missouri, has as yet been nam- ed. Judge Brewer of the United States Su- preme Court has just completed his highly entertaining and instructive course of lec- tvres at Columbian on the law of corpora- tions. It was with evidences of sincere regret on both sides that Judge Brewer and the students parted company for the balance of the term. Prof.Mattingly is now delivering a course “Commercial Law. The illness of Judge W. 8. Cox has pre- vented him from delivering his usual lec- tures during this week. Prof. Johnson took his place on Thursday evening.
