Humane Society Meeting—An Absent- Minded Episcopal Divine and Other Local Notes. In pursuance to the call of Vice Presi- dent Barley, the Hydraulion Steam Fire Engine Company held a special meeting at their engine house last night for the pur- pose of investigating the misconduct of some of their paid men in not going to the Pelton fire last Sunday night, when they had been notified of its exact location. The meeting was held behind closed doors. The reporter for The Star asked permission to attend it, and get the facts in the case, for the benefit of the public, but was curtly informed that no newspaper men were wanted. From information gotten from a reliable source it is learned that the two factions in the company split again at last night's meeting. Vice President Barley, who left before the meeting adjourned, told The Star reporter that it was his idea that in- asmuch as the board of fire wardens were now investigating the matter it would be but right and proper for the cumpany to send a committee to confer with them, and to this end he introduced a motion’ that a committee of three be appointed for this purpose, and it was carried. The minority in this vote were not satisfied with this action, and after the meeting was about to adjourn decided to hold a little investi- gation of their own, which was more in the nature of a farce than anything else, and Vice President Barley became so dis- gusted at this that he got up and retired. The Star reporter talked with several of the conservative members of the company and they seemed to be of the opinion that the happiest sclution of the whole matter would be to “bunch ’em and run ’em,” and perfect a new organization. There has been a good deal of turmoil in this company for some time past, and it is said that the driver of the engine and the driver of the hose wagon are not on speaking terms, theugh for efficiency’s sake they should pull together. The driver of the hose wagon found the fire on Sunday night on the same information that the driver of the engine failed to find it. The end is not yet, as the public will not be satisfied with this continued looseness. Humane Society Meetin, There was but a small attendance at the meeting of the Alexandria branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ai the meeting held in Peabody Hall last night. Considerable routine busi- ness was transacted. A committee of three, composed of I. H. Evans, Fred. Paff and M. B. Perry, was appointed to confer with the Alexandria Water Company and the city council with a view of having several watering stands for horses placed about the city. Miss Lucy Fawcett was elected state agent of the society. The society will hold another meeting shortly, at which a musical program will be ren- ered. Absent-Minded. A good joke leaked out here today on a young Episcopal divine who has charge of a church at Haymarket, and who, by the way, is noted for being very absent- minded. It appears that Bishop Whittle confirmed a large class in his church and the young minister was anxious to have a number of his friends present, so he ad- dressed a number of notes to his friends. One of these reached a lady friend in this city, who is prominently connected with church work. But the joke is that it was addressed reverend brother and asked that she be sure to bring a surplice. The lady went, surplice and all, and when she ar- rived at the station found that the min- ister had forgotten the invitation and failed to meet her at the station. Filed Their Bond. Mr. Ed. Abner, president of the Occoquan and Woodbridge Telephone Company, was in the city yesterday afternoon and filed the bond of $1,000 required by the city council before his company should tear up the streets for the purpose of erecting poles for their telephone cornecticn in this city. Mr. Abner says the work of erecting the line in this city will be commenced very shortly. Returned to New York. Annie Brantley, who keeps a bawdy house in this city, was before Mayor Strauss last night charged with having in- duced two women from New York to come here under misrepresentation. When the mayor heard the facts in the case he or- dered the Brantley woman to purchase tickets and sent the two women back to New York last night. Notes. There were no cases in the police court this morning. Mrs. Virgia Mosby Coleman 1s visiting friends in this city. Mr. John Hartley of Richmond is the guest of Mr. Martin Lawler. There was a regular meeting of the city school board last night. Only routine busi- ness was transacted. Judge Norton of the corporation court re- fused to grant a license to George Bauer to keep a bar room on the corner of Payne and West streets. An amendment was granted in the cor- peration court yesterday to the Press Claims Company of Washington, raising the capital stock to $1,000,000. Mr. Theo. Ballenger out” at his Freestone Point fishing shore yesterday. The streets of the city are in a very muddy condition. The repaving of Union street has-been ecmpleted. Osceola Tribe of Red Men held a regular meeting last night. Mr. John A. Marshall has gong to Phila- delphia. ‘The city treasurer's office, which is being refitted, will be ready for occupancy next week. —— Early Morning Fire. Fire was discovered shortly before 2 o'clock this morning in the second floor of 7 D street northwest, occupied by An- drew B. Graham as the press room of his lithographing establishment. Engine No. 2, housed directly across the street, was then at the Columbian University fire, and it was twenty minutes before Nos. 3 and 4 responded to the telephone alarm. The fire was subdued after a sharp fight, and the building was saved. Damage to Mr. Gra- ham’s presses, however, was done to the amount of about $%,000, which is mainly covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as the building was de- serted at the time save by the clerks of Phelps’ drug store, on the first floor. The flames started from a corner of the press room, and it is thought by Mr. Phelps that there was spontaneous combustion of some oily rags, though Mr. Graham says that every scrap of waste and other greasy ma- terial was cleaned up only a few days ago. He cannot tell just yet how far the stock of lithographing stones ts damaged, and on these he has no insurance. They are valued at $5,000. Mr. Phelps’ damage amounts to but about $50, caused mostly by water. The building is not hurt, except “3 | ies the floors may have to be strength- ened. ae To Go to Memphis. The Secretary of War has ordered two ccmpanies of the fifth infantry, now sta- tioned at Fort McPherson, Atlanta, and two troops of the third cavalry, with the regimental band, now at Benton Barracks, Mo., to attend the encampment of the National Guard to be eld at Memphis, Tenn., beginning May 11 and ending May 21. Col. Kellogg of the fifth infantry will command the United States troops whil¢ they are at Memphis. Capt. Ruhlen fas been ordered to El Paso, Texas, and to assume charge, under direction of the quartermaster general, of the construction work at Fort Bliss, Texas. sas ae Charged With Begging. George Willams and George Robinson, young men, were in the Police Court this morning charged by Policeman Coghill with being vagrants. They were found in and about the Capitol grounds this morning, and one of them, it stated, had stopped pedestrians and asked them for money. The men denied the charge, and the cas went over until tomorrow. Why Not make the baby fat? For the thin baby is delicate, and is not half so cunning. Give the thin baby Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Scott’s Emulsion is as easy a food as milk. It is much more effective in making thin babies fat, and they like it. If all the babies that have been made fat and chubby and well by Scott’s Emulsion could only tell their story to the mothers of other sickly babies! There wouldn’t be enough to go round.
