Soon after the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association was organized, about four years ago, the improvement in the street car service was one of the topics dis- cussed. At last night’s meeting of the as- sociation some of the members reported that they had ridden on the new cable car of the Columbia road, and in view of the improvement which had been made in the motive power of the road, they thought the occasion worthy of a celebration. Although there were a small number of members present the more active ones were there, and the meeting was an interesting one. There was only one cable car running on the road, and whenits loud sounding bir-r was heard it was almost necessary for the meeting to take a recess, in order to give the members a chance to inspect the im- provement. The car having passed soon after the reading of the minutes, President Tucker called for the reports of commit- tees. Secretary Miller of the railroad commit- tee, who communicated with the Commis- sioners concerning the alleged failure of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to comply with the regulations concerning headlights on engines when backing, pre- sented to the association his report, which comprised the report made to the Commis- sioners by Inspector Beggs of the engineer department. Chairman Holsten of the railroad com- mittee said that the committee had not had a meeting since the last meeting of the association, and he had nothing in addi- tion to what Secretary Miller had reported. Sixth Street Crossing. In connection with the railroad question Mr. Frizzell called attention to the publica- tion in The Star of a few days ago of a report made by Attorney Thomas in re- gard to the 6th street crossing, in which he told hew the company might be indicted for common nuisance. This, he said, is the position the association took a year ago, when D'str.ct Attorney Birney blocked its efforts. The opinion was given when the question of an under crossing was sug- gested. President Tucker also spoke of the place where the railroad tracks pass at 6th street, and said he thought every effort sheuld be made to get a crossing of some kind at this place. Mr. Frizzell, resuming, told of his visit to the Commissiorers, where he verified the publication in The Star, and then he called on Mr. Thomas, and in conversation with him learned that the company could be prosecuted for obstructing crossings, and he also thought that the company could be prosecuted for parking the cars south of Hi street. Mr. Frizzeil also presented the report of the committee on streets, avenues and alleys on the question of the sweeping of H street northeast, which referred to the clouds of dust made by the sweepers. He said he had made an examination of the work, and found that it had been imper- fectly done. In connection with the corn- laint about the sweeping of H street, Mr. Frizzell read a report from Superintendent McKenzie of the street cleaning depart- ment. When H street was swept after the snow had disappeared the sweepings, he said, were not removed, but were left to be scattered back over the street! The report was received and adopted. About the Last Congress. Severai committees were called, but no responses Were made, and President Tuck- er announced that he would appoint Mr. D. C. Smith as a member of the school ecmmittee. When the committee on proposed legis- lation was called, President Tucker, who is chaixtman of the committee, said that the committee always has something to say. “I am opposed to criticising the dead,” said Mr. ‘Tucker, in opening his remarks, “but it is my duty to say something about the action of the defunct Fifty-third Con- gress.” He said it would be much easier to tell what Congress had not done than to tell what it had done, but the association would have to make the best of things as they found them. By way of explanation he said that Congress had to grapple with matters of national legislation. “I won't say they accomplished much,” he said, “but they did grapple with the questions.” During the closing hours of Congress, he said, some attention was given matters pertaifiing to the District, and some meas- ures of importance were passed. One spe- cial subject acted upon was the raising of the dam at the Great Falls, and for this, he thought, Congress deserves the greatest commendation. Certain sections of the city, he said, had been threatened with a water famine, but never until the recent coid weather did the citizens in some sec- tions find that they had to borrow water from their neighbors or go without it. He also referred to the appropriation bill, the amount of money appropriated for street improvements and other matters ot importance. In connection with the school question he spoke of the necessity for more schools in Northeast Washington, and said that at least two more buildings were needed, as there were many cntarer un- able to attend school. One-Dollar Gas. Following this President Tucker present- ed a long report of the action of th2 committee and the result of his personal investigation on the subject of the reduc- tion in the price of gas to $1 per 1,000 cubic feet, an increase in the candle power, &e. He stated that the association had been represented by a subcommittee on proposed legislation at numerous public hearings on this subject by the Commissioners, the House District committee, and the Senate District subcommittee. He then spoke in detail of the last hearing by the Senate District subcommittee, held on January 24. He referred to a conversation held with Senator Faulkner r ive to the practi- cability of the proposed reduction and gave an analysis of the figures furnished by the company of their.receipts and ex- penditures. He maintained that with the proposed reduction, the company could pay a dividend of 6 per cent on the capital stock and leave a surplus of $5,909.61. This surplus, he said, “would be materially in- creased by the profit from the street light- ing service, which, owing to the absence of figures, is not included.” The report commented on the extensions made by the company and said it had been represented by the company that it had been compelled to go to the expense of such extensions, especially in sections where there were no buildings. The Ta- koma Park extension, the report added, was not ordered by the Commissioners, and while it was desired and asked for by some of the residents of the Park, “it was not laid for that reason; the obvious reason for making this costly extension was that a new company was about to erect a plant to furnish gas to the Park and neighbor- ing suburbs.” It was further stated by Mr. Tucker that he was informed by the Engineer: Commis- sioner that only one order had been issued requiring an extension of the mains, and that had only been partly complied with. Mr. Tucker said that he had called at the gas office for the purpose of Inspecting the books, but was unable to get permission to do so. The report was received and the president thanked for his labors. Various Matters. Under the head of new business a num- ber of resolutions were offered, among them being one concerning the speed of railroad trains, and urging the authorities to use every effort to enforce the law. Another resolution referred to the question of elec- tric lighting, and inquired whether or not the terms of the appropriation bill in refer- ence to overhead wires were being complied with. By request, Mr. Frizzell presented a resolution, to be sent to the Commissioners, asking that they take proper steps toward putting in passable condition a number of the Baltimore and Chio railroad crossings. Several matters of minor importance were presented and :eferred, and the meeting adjourned. On all trains ‘Saturday ind Sunday, March 16 and 17, good to return until Monday, the 18th.—Advt. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—Abbey, @choeffel and Grau were again in evidence at Al- baugh’s Grand Opera House last night, and more satisfactorily to the public than in the recent curtailed grand opera season. Miss Lillian Russell is always a reliable at- traction, and she was never more pleasing than at the present time. As she appear- ed in “La Perichole” last night her voice had its accustomed richness and sweetness, and her acting was remarkable for a vi- vacious grace which surprised even her cid admirers. While “La Perichole” is.one of the old timers in light opera, it has not shared the misfortune of other good light operas by being done with such persist- ency as to place it in the category of the hackneyed. As is invariably the case with Miss Ruseell, the star is well equipped as to costuming and cast. Her toilet in, the second act was a delight alike to critical femininity and undiscriminating but ap- preciative man. Digby Bell was liked, as he always is, and earned the marks of es- teem showed him by his performance as Don Andres. Annie Meyers sang Guade- lena with the beauty of voice and accuracy of method which characterize her work. It is no smalt undertaking to find a tenor to sing opposite to Lillian Russell's so- prano acceptably,and the manner in which Richie Ling does this is a matter for con- gratulation. The performance is, whole, a good one—whether good enough to justify an advance in the scale of prizes is a matter which the playgoer, familiar as he is by this time with attainments of the star and her company, decide for himself. At the close of the first act a curtain cal! was given Miss Russell, and she was lavishly the recipient of flowers and applause. The approval elicited by her tipsy song was a complete refutation of opinions hitherto expressed, that Lillian Russell cannot grasp and convey a humor- ous idea. ‘La Perichole” will be the at- traction uatil Friday night, when “The Grand Duchess” will be presented. New National Theater._Whenever Sol Smith Russell comes to town with one of his plain plays for the people, it. seems as if the doors and windows had “been left open and the whole place was filled with fresh air and the fragrance of the fields and the flowers. It was “Peaceful Valley” at the National last night, with Mr. Russell as Hosea Howe, and a different cast from last time, and time before, and time before that, but the people were there to laugh at “Hosy” and weep with him just the same as if they had never heard the play before. It is always so with these homely and simple plays of Mr. Russell's, and his affectingly sincere and simple way of pre- senting them, and no actor is closer to the heart of the public than Mr. Rus- sell is. In his company are man: good people. Miss Kate Ryan as “‘Hosy’ mother, Miss Oesterle as Niobe Far- quhar, Miss Boniface as Martha Howe, Miss Ford as Virgie Rand, Mr. Charles Mackay, whom we have all known in the Summer Comedy Company of two seasons past, as Jack Farquhar, Mr. Sullivan as the villain, Ward Andrews, Mr. Hudson as the hotelkeeper, Mr. Hasting as Charlie Rand, Mr. Smiley as the elder Rand, and BY Allen as Nelson, the waiter. Old friends, all of them, these mimic people, who live over again’ for us every year in new forms and faces, but always the same friends, and always welcome as _“‘Hosy” makes all the world welcome to “Peaceful Valley.” Academy of Music.—Quite a big audience for a bad night appeared at the Academy last night to see Freeman’s Fun Makers in “A Railroad Ticket,” one of those not un- usual farce comedies which at present ap- peal strongly to the popular taste. This one is like most of them in the character and quantity of the plot—that is to say, in the first act some one on the stage tells some one else on the stage what it is all about, the audience naturally overhears it, and then, with the plot planned out nicely so as not to interfere with the fun, the specialties have their innings, and the song and the dance, the quip and the quirk get in their fine work, and for three acts the audience is treated to an olloa podrida which provokes more or less applause. In “A Railroad Ticket” the leading specialty is singing, and the audience is given more songs, solos, duets and ensembles than it would get a concert, besides various dances. Wm. Blaisdell is the ticket agent, and his man, Chips (Mr. J. T. Kelley), and his typewriter, Bessie Shorthand (Miss Hattie Waters), make it pretty lively. for everybody else. Miss Alice Carle, one of our summer opera favorites, is Mrs. Clash- er, whose husband breaks her proud spirit by allowing her only 3300 a week. Harry Porter's Bowery boy is the best bit of work in the play. The young ladies of the cast are decidely chic, and they enter into the play with the highest spirit. : Butler’s Bijou Theater.—As a production of scenie and mechanical surprises, “The Tornado,” which biew into the Bijou Theater last evening, was certainly every- thing which had been promised. There is a tornado scene, of course, which tears things to pieces, and trees, fences, houses, and everything in sight soar away into space. In the second act the collision of two ocean steamships is well carried out, and at the end of this act a great ship is represented as riding gracefully on the waves, while a rescuing party are seen in a life boat searching for a man who has been lost overboard. The cast is compe- tent, and was greeted last night by d@ large and enthusiastic audience. The Woman's Clinic Benefit—The enter- tainment at the Church of Our Father for the benefit of the Woman's Clinic last evening was well attended by an appre- ciative audience. Encores were frequent, and all the selections were rendered in an excellent manner. Miss Pond gave two piano solos, and proved by them that she is a pianist of more than the usual amount of mérit. The singers who took part were Mr. Pearman, Miss Lilla Heiberger, Mrs. Clifford Howard, Mr. Hamilton, Miss Maude Talmadge, Mr. George Terry, Miss Mattie Wade, Miss Marie Allen, Mrs. Berry of Kentucky and a male quartet, com- posed of Messrs. Gough, Grimes, Asmus- sen and Cronin. The Misses Katie and Mattie Gaegier, Miss Laura Eichelberger and Miss Ethel Howard recited in a credit- able manner, while a whistling solo by Mrs. Clifford Howard proved unique and attractive. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Lyceum was crowded last night by the admirers of Bob Fitzsimmons, who came to see the way in which he punched the bag and incident- ally give an exhibition of the manner in which he intended to do Corbett. Manager Julian offered $100 to any man who would stand up to Fitzsimmons for three rounds, but no one was inclined to take the offer. Charles Steele and Alec Brown gave a three-round exhibition that was a hummer from start to finish, Brown winning easily, Hen Jackson and Joe Shorter, two larger: sized boys, then met, and, after two very snappy rounds, Jackson succeeded in put- ting his man to rest in the third. The Julian company is quite an attractive ag- gregation. In the olio-Howley and Doyle, a clever song and dance team, pleased the audience, as did the descriptive vocalists, Joe Howard and Ida Emerson. Bobby Mack, the Irish singer, put some new words in a pleasing style to'a few of the old fa- millar tunes. Ramza and Arno gave a comic horizontal bar act. Fitzsimmons’ offer of $10) holds good all this week.

Ysaye Returns.—The great Belgian _vio- linist, Ysaye, returns fer a recital on Tues- day evening, March 19, at Metzerott Music Hall. He is regarded by many as the greatest violinist that hes been heard in recent years, and it is no surprise that he is considereé ihe musical wonder of the season.

Seats new on sale at Metzerott’s, - Se THE CHORAL SOCIETY. Dr. Harry C. Sherman, the New Musi- eal Conductor, Introduced. The Choral Society met last night at Typographical Hall, but, as the books of “Samson and Delilah,” the oratorio with which it is proposed to close the season, had not arrived, no rehearsal was had. President W. H. Daniel made the an- nouncement of the fallure.of the books to arrive, and then Mr. Eugene Stevens gave a statement of the result of the two recent performances of the “Redemption,” show- ing a constructive profit of about $600. Treasurer Meade distributed the “honor- arlum’” to the soloists in the ‘“Redemp- tion,” and the vice president, Dr. Frank T. Howe, made an address complimenting the society on its excellent work at the recent performances, expressing satisfac- tion at the effort of the soloists, and urg- ing upon every member to put forth extra exertion in the endeavor to secure the guarantee fund necessary to produce ‘Samson and Delilah.” Already the re- sponses have been quite gratifying, and no doubt is felt that the full amount will be guaranteed by the time fixed. Dr. Howe then referred to the resignation of Prof. Kaspar, and the regret felt by the board of directors and the society that Mr. Kaspar’s health would not permit him io continue the work of conducting the so- ciety at this time, and then introduced the new musical director, Dr. Harry C. Sher- man, whose appearance was greeted with applause. Dr. Sherman expressed his regret that an evening of rehearsal should be lost on a book that is so difficult, and urged a full attendance next Monday night, when he would commence his duties in earnest. —_— - Banquet of the Second Army Corps. There is a good time coming tomorrow night, when the Second Army Corps Asso- ciation holds its banquet at Page’s.

The cable cars on the Columbia railway began to run yesterday from 15th street and Boundary northeast to New York avenue and 15th street northwest, and in a short while the entire equipment will be put in operation and the horse cars, which are still being used in conjunction with the new cars, be taken off. The first regular car left the power house at 2:30 o'clock and cerried the directors of the company and Chief Engineer Upton and Superin- tendent Boetler over the system. The trip was eminently satisfactory to all con- cerned. The road, by reason of the almost straight line in which it runs from one end to the other, and the absence of anything like heavy grades, is one of the easiest cable concerns to run in the country, and there will be only one gravity run in its entire length. This will be where the grip drops the cable to cross the conduit of the ith street line. The speed at which cars will be run.after everything gets in smooth operation will be nine miles an hour. The car used is built on the combination pat- tern, the gripman standing on the front platform and managing his grip and brake machinery by means of wheels instead of levers. The rest of the car is devoted to passengers, and the length of each is thirty feet. ————— RETURNED TO JAIL. Judge McComas Denied His Release on Habeas Corpus. After the arguments in the case of Geo. R. Tolman, who applied for his release from jail, where he was sent by Judge Hagner, as in contempt of court, for re- fusing to pay his wife $600 alimony, were concluded before Judge McComas yester- day afterncon, Tolman was remanded to jail by the court. In a short opinion Judge McComas said that he had but to follow the ruling of the Supreme Court in a recent case in order to warrant him in dismissing tho petition for release. Judge Hagner, he believed, had acted fully with- in the power and authority given him to commit Tolman for failing or refusing to obey the order of the court, and Tolman would have to go back to jail to await the action of Judge Hagner or until the Court of Appeals had held that Judge Hagner had acted without warrant of law. Mr. Davis, counsel for Tolman, noted an appeal from the decision of Judge Mc- Comas, and asked that Tolman be admit- ted to bail pending the decision of the ap- peal. Judge McComas stated that on that point he had some doubt; would hear Mr. Davis on it some time today. Tolman was then returned to jail.

DECLARED A DOMESTIC. Manuel de Almagro, the Embexzszler, Discharged From Custody. Manuel de Almagro, the discharged book- keeper and interpreter, who is alleged to have squandered $3,000 of the moneys of his employer, Minister Zeballos of the Argentine Republic, was discharged from custody by Judge Miller yesterday after- noon. Almagro, as heretofore printed in The Star, was arrested in the legation building on complaint of the minister, and being unable to give bail, he was locked up and sent to jail. His counsel entered a special plea denying the jurisdiction of the court on the ground that their client was such an employe as to come within the statutory exemption. He is a citizen of the United States, having come here from Cuba several years ago, and became a citizen under the law. Although his name, it is said, does not appear on the official roll at the State Department as an attache of the legation, he was really paid by the government of the Argentine Republic and had been reported to the foreign office as an employe. Mr. Mullowny, for the government, and Messrs. McKenny and Maddox for the de- fendant, argued the case and presented authorities in support of their claims. Judge Miller held that the defendant was a domestic within the meaning of the law and was therefore exempt from arrest, as provided by the statute.
