So far as report- ed, no serious casualties have been caused by the oppressive heat, though there have been several of a minor character. Many of the citizens take advantage of the elec- tric line and river steamers to get out of town for a few hours in search of cool breezes, while others who are unable to get away spend their nights by sleeping out of doors all night long. The police report having seen persons in various parts cf the town sleeping in hammocks strung be- tween trees in the ‘ds, while others use the ground itself, some being found asleep in chairs and on door steps and, in fact, in every conceivable position, Alexandria is very much in need of drinking fountains for both man and beast, and it is hoped that the Humane Society, which started this movement with its organization, will shortly be able to provide for the animals and that the new city council will arrange to provide for the people. Police Court. In the police covrt this morning there were but two cases, and they of minor im- pertance. Mayor Strauss disposed of them as follows: Frank Bryant, colored, charged with assaulting John Lee, fined $5. Ruby Maguire, colored, charged with abusive lan- guage and disorderly conduct, fined $2.50. An Exciting Fisticuff. Some little excitement was caused about noon yesterday by two colored hod carriers, ramed John Lee and Frank Bryans, en- gaging in a fisticuff opposite the local depot. From what could be learned of the affair it appears that as Lee was coming out of a saloon Bryant struck him in the eye without provocation. Lee appeared in the mayor’s court this morning, with the in- gured optic swelled to twice its regular size, and Bryant was fined $5 for the assault. Charter Granted. A charter was granted by Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corporation court yesterday to the Fetzer Art Company, the objects of which are to sell crayon pictures, etc. Mr. A. W.

Mr. Ramachandryya Garu, who is a con- verted Brahmin, and who has been a mem- ber of the mission church in Gunder tor thirteen years, delivered a most interesting address on mission work in India at the Second Presbyterian Church this afternoon. There was a fairly large audience present, and his lecture, which was full of interest- ing incidents, was much enjoyed. Notes. Messrs. Wm. H. May, G. Wm. Ramsay and Wm. A.

Complaints Regsrding Railroads, Streets, Gas and Water. ‘The Langdon Citizens’ Association, rep- resenting all that quarter of the District east of Brookland, north of Benning and east of Ivy City, met last evening in Lang- don Hall, in annual session for the election of officers and for consideration of such public questions as affect that section of the county. The president, A. M. Dewey of Langdon, presided, and Mr. B, F. Ed- wards acted as secretary. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock, and the following officers were elected for the current year: President, John W. Watson; vice president, A. E. Berry; secretary, Henry S, Sutton; treas- urer, B. F. Edwards. . Thomas C.. Collins, B. F. Edwards and H. S. Sutton were appointed a committee to revise the constitution, after which a motion was made that a committee of three appointed to wait upon the railroad and respectfully Insist that the distance tables and rates of transporta- tien in use on this end of the Washington branch be revised in accordance with the true distance between Washington and the stations affected. This motion brought out the facts con- cerning the question of discrimination al- leged_ by the citiz of Langdon, as men- tioned in The Star several days ago. The president stated that Vice President King of the B. and O. had promised three years ago to have the road surveyed, and the schedules and rates revised, but it had been done. A letter had been re- recetwed from General Passenger Bi in which that gentleman smised to have the complaint of the citi- zens looked into, so far as it related to rates, but ignored the more important ques- tion of Wiistances. Langdon, it was claimed by the speaker, is forty ‘feet less than three miles from the bumpers in the city. station, t its citizens are required to pay a fo je rate for transportation. Mr. Berry suggested that the railroad company was merely measuring from the end of the Long bridge, in order that the distance to Baltimore might be madé forty miles—the dista: claimed by the com- pany. This was shown to be the probable fact, the two-mile post now being located in the clty railway yards at a point be- tween 5th and 6th streets, not being more ae three-quarters of a mile from the sta- on. The discussion resulted in the appoint- ment of A. M. Dewey, J. G. Durfey and A. E. M. Lawson as a committee to push the matter, with instructions to go before the interstate commerce commission with a formal complaint, if necessary. The citizens in the vicinity of Langdon are apparently not altogether pleased with the plans for street extensions as submitted by Mr. Olmstead for that quarter. In his report Mr. Olmstead has provided for an outer and an inner boulevard, one skirting the District line one’mile beyond Langdon, the other crossing that section near Ivy City. This plan, it was claimed, did not seem to take into consideration either the lay of the ground itself or the present pros- pective importance of the territory covered. The president and secretary were directed to call upon the District Commissioners and request that before the plat submitted is approved a hearing be granted to the representatives of that quarter. When Langdon subdivision was platted, and the streets with wide parkings desde to the government, it is claimed that ce tain promises of assistance in street im- provements were made by the then Engi- neer Commissioner, which his successors have not carried out to the letter. For two or.three years a sum has annually been ap- propriated with which to gravel the streets, but has never been applied, and has each year been covered back into the treasury. This year is no exception, and a committee was appointed last evening to go before the Sicgert’s Angostura Bittecs to secure a good di- gestion, Commissioners to learn why this sum of $500 was not expended as directed. “‘urday ticket for $1. THE DOLEFUL PROPHETS. They Have Not Yet Threatened the Country With Cholera and Fever. It 1s not apparent, so far, that this is going te be an espectally sickly summer. The Job's com- forters who are fond of predicting cholera and deadly fevers have been silent. Yet it cannot be denied that the summer heat always brings out more or less malaria, particularly in districts where the earth is torn up or drainage 4s imper- fect. Malaria attacks the weak and unnerved, but gives the hearty, Well-toned, buoyant system a wide berth, Experience has shown that the best defense against it is that sound and wholesome stimulant, Durty's Pure Malt Whiskey. Mothers not only take it themselves at the first chill or tremor, but they give it to their children. The effect is alw: the same. At once the vital force is so quickened and all the bodily functions so stirred that malaria 1s readily shaken off. All who know the splendid properties of Duffy's Pare Malt Whiskey regard it as the best of preventives. It is never more in demand than during the hot mouths, when a prempt and judicious stimulation may avert a tig act Tareas attack of sickness. Any malarial trouble sticks and clings like leech. ‘The best way to deal with ig is not to have it at all.

The Knights of St. John, R. C. U., en- joyed a day's outing at Marshall Hall yes- terday, the steamer Macalester carrying down three heavy boat loads of merry Ca nicers to the popular resort. About fifty knights in uniform of the Holy Name Com- mandery, No. 248, of this ciy were present, escorted by the Holy Name Commandery Drum _ Corps, which furnished music throughout the evening. A number of peo- ple not connected with the organization sought relief from the hot city, and made the number exceptionally large. Capt. P. H. Gallegher was in command of the knights, with Lieuts. Thos. Bevans and Wm. A. Lusby. State Organizer Lewis H. Lanman of St. Peter's Commandery, No. 134, was present as a guest. Dr. Collins, the surgeon of the commandery, also ac- ccmpanied the knights. The day was spent in a most enjoyable way, the only incident to mar the pleasure of the occasion being the narrow escape of a young boy from drowning at the bathing beach. He was standing on the end of the pier, and in some unaccountable way lost his balance and fell overboard, but was rescued by a bather, who dived for him from the pier. Tomorrow evening a moonlight excursion will be given by Hamline Church to Indian Head, and everything that will insure an evening of pleasure, as well as comfort, has been arranged for.
