AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA The Mayor Presides Again in the Polic: Oourt. aes The Several Cuses Decided — Other Noten of a Pocal _ Character. md General Mayor Strauss presided in the police court this morning, the first time for a week, and his return was celebrated by the largest court for some time past, and the city treasury was made richer by $75 on account of fines imposed, most of which were on account of a raid by Officers Fer- guson and Beach Saturday night on the disreputable houses in the northeastern section, when Florence Livingstone, Annie Brautman, Kate Fisher, Annie King, Nettie Rosser, Mary Springsteel, Fannie, Chap- man, Frankie Folsam, Jessie Poff and Alice Kitts were arrested and charged with selling beer without a license. They. were fined $5 each and costs. Maud Tib- bets for assault on Fannie Carter was fired $10. Georgianna Kirby was fined $2.50 for disorderly conduct, and Fannie Carter for fighting was fined $5.

Thomas Jenkins and Mat Washington, fined $1 each for stealing a book. Dick Faireli, sent to the chain gang for ninety days for vagrancy. Annie Law, h&rboring vicious dog; case continued. A Lively Scrimmage. Saturday night about 12 o'clock tire was a lively scrimmage on the corner of Prin- cess and: North Lee streets between three occupants of disreputable houses in that Iccality. From what could be learned of the affair, it appears that Maud Tibbets was sitting on the front step of Jessie Poff’s house, when Fannie Carter came by. Maud accused her of having been slandering her and proceeded to wipe up the ground with her. Then Maud told Georgi- arna Kirby, another woman of the same stamp, that Fannie Carter had also been saying unkind things about her, and Georgi- anna also interfered. All three were ar- rested and fined by the mayor in the police court this morning. Severely Whipped. After the police court was over this morn- ing the mayor told the mother of Mat. Washington, the small colored boy fined $1 for stealing a book, that if she would give him a good whipping he would remit the fine. She took him at his word, and thrashed the youngster soundly. ¥ A Quiet Sunday. Yesterday was a quiet Sunday, and, owing to the extreme heat, the congrega- tions in the various churches were not as large as usual. Presiding Elder Shipman preached both morning and evening at Trinity M. E. Church, Mr. Mathews, the evangelist, preached at the Raflroad Mis- sion, and in all the other churches the res dent rectors officiated. All day long the electric cars were crowded with those who were seeking the cool breezes of the coun- Ty. Notes. Presiding Elder Shipman will preside over the quarterly conference of Trinity M. E.

Case of Mrs. Farrall, Charged With Murder. _ Mrs. Belle Farrall, the widow of Mr. Frederick Farrall, who kept a hotel at Hughesville, Charles county, Md., returned to the county Saturday afternoon after an abseuce of several months and delivered herself to.the custody of Sheriff Albrittain. This was done Saturday for the reason that the case was set for trial today. When the Hughesville hotel keeper died and it was suspected that his wife had used strychnine she suddenly left -Charles county, and it was supposed that she would not return unless the officers succeeded in locating and arresting her. She came to this city, where she has friends and rela- tives, and remained rere until the coroner’ jury found that death resulted from stryc! nine poisoning. Tnen, when the officers went to the house where she had stopped, they learned that she had been gone only a few hours. Col. L. A. Wilmer and ex-Congressman S. E. Mudd were retained-to look after the woman’s interests, both criminal and civil, and they promised States Attorney Mat- thews that Mrs. Farrall, who did not want to remain in jail several months before her trial, would appear when the state was ready. ‘Whea an indictment against her was re- turned it was the intention of the county commissioners to offer a-reward for the apprehension 6f the alleged murderess, but when counsel promised to have her on hand when the case was calied, the com- missioners decided to await developments. Saturday afternoon the promise made to the states attorney was fulfilled. Mrs. Far- rall reached La Plata in the afternoon and went to the office of Col. Wilmer. One of Sheriff Albrittain’s deputies, who happen- ed to be in town, was sent for, and he ac- companted the fair prisoner to Port To- bacco, where Sheriff Albrittain still has his headquarters. There Mrs. Farrall re- mained until this morning, when she was taken to La Plata. Today’s session of the court fs the fjrst session held at the new county seat. Johr H. Mitchell was employed by rela- tives of the dead man to assist States At- torney J. S. Matthews in the presecution. The case is likely to occupy several days of the session of the court, and persons from 3ll parts of the county were in La Plata this morning, all anxious to get a seat in court in order to hear the case. One of the most important witnesses in the case is Dr. Edward M. Schaeffer of this city, who conducted the avtopsy and found the strychnire in the stomach. ———— AN ENJOYABLE MUSICALE. Good Work by the Pupils of Miss Alice E. Burbage. The home of Miss Alice E. Burbage, on I street, was filled with a critical assem- blage Saturday night to listen to a recital by her pupils in piano and harmony, and the applause which greeted every number was discriminating if at times enthusiastic. The pupils displayed different degrees of progress, according to the’ duration of their study and instructiofi, but nearly all evi- denced” the possession of distinct musical ability, and their work was marked by an intelligence of comprehension of the com- position interpreted as well as a clearness of tone and fluency of technique not often met with in recitals of ¢his character. Per- haps the most noticeable performance was that of Miss Ester de Venegas, who, though only fourteen years old, showed decided talent in the rendition of Handel's “Har- monious Blacksmith” and Chaminade’s “La Lisonjera.”” Mme. de Calvo, wife cf the secretary of the Costa Rican’ legation, pleased by her interpretation of Schubert's “Clavierstuck” and Ritter’s “Les Cour- riers,” and Miss Behrend interpreted Scharwenka’s Polish Dance and a Mosz- kowski_ waltz with considerable _ spirit. Other enjoyable numbers were Beethoven's “Moonlight Sonata,” by Miss Story Durand waltz, Mrs. C. W. Wetzel; a Mos: kowski polonaise, Miss Wilmer Maude Ben- ton; Mendelssohn's ‘Rondo Capriccioso, Miss Story, and Beethoven's concerto in C minor, Miss Rebecca Behrend. There were two concerted pieces, one a quintet and the other a quartet, and both were well exe- cuted. Miss Burbage herself contributed two songs of her own composition— “Dreams,” an exquisite bit of weird mel- ody, and “Two Years Ago,” a theme that Would more readily catch the popular ear— both of which were sung by Mr. C. F. Cros- by, who responded to an encore with Schu- man's “Two Grenadiers.” Miss Burbage also conquded the program by playing a Chopin nocturne and Liszt’s “La Cam- panella,” in both of which her musicianly spirit and ability as an artist were fully manifest. —=.___ AMUSEMENTS. The Chinese Fireworks Display.—Wash- ingtonians were treated to a real Chinese exhibition of fireworks Saturday evening at National Base Ball Park. It was not the American brand of fireworks, but the real, original Chinese article, with its own flavor and noise. Nearly three thousand people journeyed to the park to see the exhibition, which was under the management of Tuck Cheong, and participated in entirely by Chinamen. The park was darkened, ex- cept for one light, and the figures of those who assisted in setting off the set pieces had a weird and ghostly appearance as they flitted here and there amidst che smoke and rain of sparks of fire. The set pieces were entirely original with the Chinese, and represented facts and happenings in China’s history. They were somewhat dampened by the rein of Friday evening, rut everything went off nicely, especially the Chinese firecrackers. Enough of these were set off to have stocked several stores for several Fourths of July, but the supply seemed never-ending, and as long as the Chinamen kept it up the spectators could stand it. Strings from ten to twenty feet long of all sizes of crackers were set off, while the end came with an immense string of the latter length being hauled up to the top of a pole and left to burn itself out, which it proceeded to do with great vigor. Other kinds of fireworks were shown in plenty, and Catherine wheels, squibs, rock- ets and all kinds of Chinese manufacture in this line were exhibited. The display will be repeated this evening. The Drum Corps Garden Fete.—The gar- den fete of the J. B. Henderson Drum Corps, which has been running at the Four- teenth Street Park, closed Saturday even- ing. It was the original intention to bring the affair to a close Friday, but as the fes- tivities were stopped that night by the rain, it was decided to continue it for one night longer. The attendance, especially of Grand Army men, was very large Saturday even- ing, and the time was passed very plea: antly with speeches and social conversa- tion. Corporal Tanner opened the affair with a short speech, and then Gen. Hen- derson made a brief address, in which he told the boys how proud he was of them. The lady managers of the fete are exceed- ingly thankful to the many who helped them in this enterprise, and are very much elated over the success of the garden party. A Lawn Fete Tomorfow.—As the inclem- ency of the weather prevented a large at- tendance at the anniversary of the Meth- odist Home for the Aged, the ladies have Gecided to repeat the lawn fete at the home grounds, 12th and N streets northeast, to- morrow afternoon, after 5 o'clock. An old folks’ concert will be given at 7:30 o'clock and refreshments served throughout the evening. ———>—_—_ Poultry Association. A special meeting of the Maryland and District of Columbia Poultry and Pigeou Association was held Saturday evening at 712 12th street to complete the preliminary arrangements for the poultry exhibition, to be held in January next. The secretary re- ported that a contract had been signed for the lease of Center Market Hall for the occasion, and this action was approved. A committee, composed of Messrs. Bailey, Boswell and Howard, was appointed to revise the by-laws of the association and make some minor changes. ee To Lend Money. At a meeting held Saturday afternoon at the office of Messrs. Ralston & Siddons a committee was appointed, consisting of Dr. J. M. Gregory, ex-officio, chairman; B. Pickman Mann, F. L. Siddons, H. G. Pot- August Donath and F. L. Moore, to in- fate the plan of relief for the poor of the city by means of a loan association, to furnish money on easy terms, and, if they consider the plan feasible, to outline a reg- ular system of operation, to be reported at a future meeting of those who are in- terested in the matter. _— $1.25 to Baltimore and Return On all B. and O. trains June 20 and 30, good to return until July 1,inclusive.—Advt. THE LAST? SERVICES. Epworth M. E. Gkarch To Be Torn .Dowp. The demolition of>o]d Epworth M. E. Church South, corner of 7th and A streets northeast, of whichucongregation Rev. J. 0. Knott is pastor, ydgan today, in order to make room for taeimew church, which is to be erected on..he same site, and which has already been fully described in The Star. The farewell serviceqvas held in the old building, which has jeegn by some christen- ed the “mother of churches,” last night in the presence of a very large audience and was of great inter2st. After devotional ex- ereises Rev. J. Wegiey Hoteles, who pre- sided, gave a brief history of the inception of the Epworth congregation. It was, he said, organized in 1886, with twenty-seven members, and the number has gradually increased until the number Is now some- thing in excess of 200, : Mr. W. M. Deck, a former superintendent of the Sunday school, also made some re- marks, as did Mr. T. i. Clark, one of those who carlics ecame interested in the new enterpriz * Principal Address. The principal address was by Rev. J. C. Jones, a former pastor, now in charge of Trinity M. 1. Church South, Roanoke, Va., who gave reminiscences of his ‘eight years’ pastorate of Epworth, and, in part, said: “The distinguishing characteristic of retro- spect is that the unpleasant is forgotten, while the agreeable is remembered. During eight years’ pastorate unquestionably many unpleasant incidents occurred, but look back upon this after brief interval, cnly the pleasant remains in memory.” Continuing, Mr. Jones said that in a trip to Europe ke had had many vexatious delays and many rainy and unfavorable days, and he often thougth, during his sojourn in a foreign land, he had endured about all the disagree- able features incident to a trip of that kind, but in looking over the lapse of time he found that he remembered only that which entered into the agreeable of life. He remembered that during his pastorate of Epworth there were some people who thought that the pews in the old church were the most uncomfortable they had ever sat upon; that others thought the building was the hottest in summer and the coldest in winter they ha¢ ever known; that the crowing of roosters In the adjoin- ing yard and tne barking dogs, etc., were nuisances to the congregution. | Some thought the music too slow and the preach- ing too prosy, but all these things have gong into the make-np-of a very pleasant past, and only the agreeable remains in memory. He ving said this in retrospect, Mr. Jones urged, as a prospective thought, that not, the contractor and congregation’ by them- selves are to build the new church, and to remember that except the Lord build the church they labor ain who build it. Letters Received. Rev. J. O. Knott, the pastor, read a letter from Rev. Dr. S. K. Cpx, now pastor of the M. B. Church South, Fron? Royal, Va., giving some facts hot previously known by the congregation in reference to the eariy history of the church, and he made a short speech, in which he referred to the enthus- jasm fel: by all interésied in the erection cf the new building, and the satisfaction felt by him at rhe manner in which every- thing proposed hy him for the benefit of the church was seconded by the members of the congregation. Rev. Dr. Arnold of North Carolina also spoke in an cncouraging man- her of the proposed:new ehurci. The corner stone of the new structure Will be-laid in a few wecks. —__. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Would it not be well for “Detectiv Proctor and his superiors to visit the “Di- vision,” where they will find lots of cause for arrest of people not only for the abus2 of the Edmunds law, but also for selling liquor without a license? There are per- haps 250 houses given up to ill fame, and there is not one of them who does not of- fend against the liquor law; in two ways, Le. selling without a license, as also sell- ing to minors. The police authorities would do well to make a nightly raid upon these houses of ill fame and drive their keepers and inmates out of the city. It is worse than a festering sore to have such places so near such a prominent street as Penn- sylvania avenue. Let all good citizens join in this crusade and compel the authorities to oust these creatures and break up these dens of infamy, where young men are cor- rupted. I know that The Evening Star will assist in this- cause. JOHN JOHNSON. =e Steamer George Leary has discontinued her trips to Piney Point —Advt.
