AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Oonsidering Laying Additional Tracka on Fayette Street. The Suit Against the German Bulld- img Association and Other Local and General Notes. In the corporation court yesterday the suit of Martha J. Preston against the Ger- man Co-operative Building Association, No. 5, Judge Norton entered a decree in favor of the defendants. The exception to the report of T. L. Waters ia overruled, and the report is confirmed and a decree for $¢87 is entered, and unless this sum Is pald the property in question will be sold. An appeal was taken, and a suspension of judgment for thirty days allowed. Martha Preston had a plece of property mortgaged in the German Building Association, and in her bill she charges that the rate of in- terest required by the association was usurious and contrary to law. This case is one of unusual interest to the people of this city. Laying of Additional Tracks. The committee on streets last night had the property owners on Fayette street be- fere them and considered the matter of the Washington Southern Railroad Com- pany’s communication to the city council to lay a double track on that street. The owners in nearly every case opposed allow- ing the compaay the privilege, as it would Practically close that streat up for other travel, as the street is very narrow and there would be no room for wagons to go on it; and then, too, they say that the citizens of Alexandria have repeatedly ask- ed the company for a new depot in place of the old shed that they now have in this city, which has been refused. The bill will be reported back to the city council, and it is not thought that they will give the company permission to lay the track on that street. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Frank Entwisle; charge, drunk on the street; fined $2.50 or thirty days in the workhouse. Robt. Pin- kerton; charge, disorderly conduct; fined $2.50. Harry Davis, colored; charged with an assault on Raymond Robertson, also carrying concealed weapons, was fined $30, in default of which he will go on the gang for three months. Thomas Burdon; charge, assault on Mary Francil; fined $6. Mary Francis; charge, indecent conduct; fined $6. Ann Gibson; charge, keeping a dog without a license; fined°$1. George Jones; charged with defacing the property of Sefer Blouse and stealing two boxes of cigars from Thos. Kelley; dismissed from want of evidence. Painfully Hurt. While at work in the planing mill of Smoot & Co. yesterday, Mr. Howard Pettit was quite painfully hurt by being struck with a plank. While one of the workmen was engaged in carrying the plank through the mill, one end of it struck a circular saw and knocked it from his shoulder, striking Mr. Pettit in the stomach. Dr. Wm. M. O’Brien attended the young man, who is quite painfully hurt, but the phy- sician says that it will not prove serious. Notes, The oyster sloop Cecelia, while on its way to Washington with a load of oysters, was. caught in a squall just opposite this city yesterday and her mast was blown out. She was picked up by a tug and brought to the wharf ‘here, where she will have another put in. A horse attached to a wagon belonging to Messrs. Curtis & Butts, contractors, became frightened on lower King street yesterday and ran off. The horse ran in the entrance gate of the ferry wharf, but, fortunateiy, neither the driver or horse were hurt. The wagon was considerably damaged. The little four-year-old child of Mr. Sid- ney Puiman fell from the porch of the res- idence of its grandfather, Capt. James F. Webster, yesterday, and, striking on Its head, was quite badly, but not seriously, hurt. The Alexandria Council, J.O.U.A.M., at their meeting last nighi conferred the de- grees of the order upon several candidates. Mr. Frank Grimes has been appointed local agent and acting treasurer of the Ka- tlonal Building Association of Baltimore. Mrs. K. G. Johnson and her daughter, Miss Katie Johnson, have gone to New York to spend the winter. Miss Florence Wirt has returned to her home in this city from a visit to friends in West Virginia. The keeper of the West End toll gate has resigned his position, and the gate is now open to the public. It is said that the turn- pike company propose to turn the road over to the Fairfax county authorities. = TRACKING WOOD'S MURDERERS. Efforts to Clear Up the Norfolk and Western Railroad Mystery. No new developments have transpired in the mysterious murder of William MM. Wood. It has become evident that Brea- nan, Turner and Lyon, the three suspects arrested at Petersburg Wednesday night, knew nothing of the murder and they were accordingly discharged. Detective Barrom of the Norfolk and Western road arrived at Petersburg yesterday, and after being shdwn the three men arrested Wednesday night could not identify them as the par- ties who had bearded the freight train in Norfolk on Tuesday. He stated, however, that Wood boarded the train at Norfolk, and said that he could bring plenty of wit- prove it, as the trainmen in the rd at Norfolk had remarked upon a er dressed In a blue suit of clothes buttons, and considered it re- kable that he should be attempting to steal a ride, as his general appearance did not denote that he was a man who was under the necessity of having to beat his = further said that a negro and four white men jumped on the train while the latter was moving, that the negro got in the gondola, in which the man with the blue suit and brass buttons was lying, and the four white men boarded a gon- dola some distanee in the rear. He stated that the white men and negro were x toriously bad characters and would hesi- tate at nothing. These four white men and sro have not been seen in Norfolk since ie: mae every effort to find them. The flagman at Church Roads, twelve miles west of Petersburg reported that on the night of the murder a man jumped from the train at his station (this wa train on which the murder was comr Church Roads was the first station reached after passing through Petersburg. aS Real Estate at Auction. Ratcliffe, Sutton & Co., auctioneers, have sold at public sale the three-story brick building 624 E street northwest, 19 feet 1013 inches front, the lot containing about 2,000 feet, to William Beren for $9,250.

Bell, who has made a study of the question of “the government ownership of telegraphs,” will lecture on that subject tonight before Excelsior Assembly, No. 2672, at Typographical Temple. ‘This is the first of the course of free lectures to be given this winter. SS For Divorce. Joseph HL Poore, through Attorneys Ful- ton and Edwards, has filed a petition for divorce from Norah Poore. The papers were withheld from publication, but the petition aleges de: on, it is understood. —— The Moston Court-Martial It is epected that the verdict in the Grand Army court-martial case of Commander Boston will be rendered tonturrow evening. Arguments were concluded yesterday, and the case submitted. AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—Last night’s audience at the Lafayette Square Opera House was a large one, and the matckless presentation of ‘Shakespeare's comedy, “As You Like It,” by the Daly company created enthusiasm and merited applause. Miss Rehan’s Rosalind does not change. She is still queenlike as the duke’s daughter and frolicsome as the youth in the forest. To those students of Shake- speare who cling to the idea that in this drama of exile the deep andeserious note is never absert, the sportiveness of some of her scenes with Orlando seems to be in rather too sherp a contrast. But there are many diverse views to take of a great work of art, all equally good. Miss Rehan’s Rosalind is her own; it is grace personified, in felicity of speech it is unsurpassable, and there is certainly no lack of sincerity in It, or of tenderness, of nobility of bearing, as in the deflunce of the usurper, of deep feel- Ing, as in the episode of the bloody ker- chief. The supporting company is up to the Daly standard, and in last night's bill was seen to great adventage. Mr. Lewis, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Power, Mr. Worthing, Miss Carlisle ard Miss Haswell play their im- portant parts with the skill and discretion of experienced actors, and the remainder of the cast lent efficient aid and gave intelli- gent and artistic interpretation of the char- acters assigned them. The scenery was all that could be desired and the music most enjoyable. Tonight, “Midsummer Night's Dream.” “Black America” at Convention Hall.— Nate Salsbury’s big colored production will be at Convention Hall next week, with mat- fmees on Wednesday and Saturday. This latest venture of Mr. Salsbury’s has met with great success in New York, and will doubtless do a big business at Convention Hall. There are three hundred colored men and women employed in the entertainment, which is composed of all sorts of southern sports and pastimes, singing, dancing, etc. The music is the chief charm of the exhibi- tion, and it is said to be phenomenal. We all know how a colored man or woman can sing, and when three hundred are brought together and sing the old-‘ime plantation melodies, the effect can be imugined. Miss Anita Cluss.—The harp recital {0 be given by Miss Anita Cluss this eveaing at Trinity Parish Hall, corner of 3d strest ard Indiana avenue. northwest, promises to be an entertainment of unusual attractiveress. Miss Cluss is a professional endowed with great talent, and is one of the best known harpists now before the public. She will be assisted by Mr. David C. Bangs, the fa- vorite reader,and Mr. T. Williams Pearman, the popular tenor of this city. Amateur Minstrels.—Standing room only was the condition of things last evening at Carroll Institute Hali when the curtain rose for the first public appearance of the recently organized Carroll Institute Min- strels. A spontaneous outburst of applause greeted the well-known young men ar- ranged in the habitual semicircle, singing “Dixie,” and the enthusiasm of the au- dience steadily increased throughout the evening. The ends were held together by Geo. O'Connor, Percy Leach, Ben. Judson and Will Cullison, and their makeup, to say nothing of their actions, was sufficient cause for laughter. After the introductory overture Interlocutor Phil. Baer introduced Geo. Cox, who sang “‘Asthore” in a man- ner that surprised even his intimate friends. Popular Geo. O'Connor, with his “T'll Be True to My Honey Boy,” earned a determined encore, as did the other partic- ipants in the first part—L. E. Kaiser, Percy Leach, Chas. Moore, Will Cullison, Phil. Bear and Ben. Judson. Mr. Baer's effort, an | original ballad entitled “Mary, My Lov was worthy of special note. The feature of the second part was a song and dance, entitled “The Wedding of the Lily and the Rose.” Messrs. O'Connor and Leach in female attire and Messrs.~ Mc- Carthy and Jasper as their escorts, inter- Freted the number, the presentation prov- ing worthy of professionals. Prof. Maurice Joyce, Inga few fhoments of silence and fun; Master Arthur Plant, in artistic club swinging; the “Dixie Quartet,” comprising Messrs. Cox, Poston, Minetree and Tyler; Bobbie Bruce, in a monologue, and Me: Judson and Murray, in a musical sketch, were highly entertaining. A burlesque, entitled “The Whir. the Wheels, or the House of the Harrowing Happen- ings,” was presented by Geo. O'Connor, C. L. Sully, Phil. Baer, Wm. S. McCarthy, Peréy Leach, Will Cullison and Ben. Jud- son. It was all that was claimed for it—‘“a delirium in one spasm.” The success of the entertainment was largely augmented by the efforts of the Carroll Institute Or- chestra. The officers of the minstrel or- ganization are: George T. Cox, president nd manager; W. H. Lepley, secretary; W. S. McCarthy, tréasurer; Percy F. Leach, stage director; C. F. Locraft and W. 0. Downey, assistants, and Ben. Judson, mu- sical director. The program of music and recitations to be given in the Church of the Reformation this evening, under the direction of the Ladies’ Aid Society, promises to be an in- teresting event. age DIVORCE AND, MARRIAGE. Changes Recommended in the Episco- pal Church Canons, The house of bishops at the Minneapolis convention has appoirted a commission to prepare a version of the prayer hook in German. The committee ta confer with the English church as to a board of refer- ence on foreign missions of the Aj communion appointed in 1889 reported that the object for which it had been appoin:ed had been accomplished, and it was dis- charged. The revision commission reported finally with canon 35 on marriage and divorce. The canon as reported forbids any minister to solemnize the marriage of any person who has been divorced unless that. person was the innocent party in a divorce granted by -the court for adultery. If any minister knows Beney, es that any one has married other- than allowed by the discipline of the may not administer baptism or Lcemmunion to that person unless death be imminent and the person be penitent, with- out the consent of the bishop. The deputies, after a vigorous discussion of the proposed sy. archbishop em of provinces under n is intended to give the church a j stem, voted to refer it to the new ional commission. Most of the speeches were in favor of the innova- tion. Rev. Dr. F. W. Taylor of Springfield described the attempt to erect a prov’ Illinois without the sanction of the con- vention and showed how it was handicapped by lack of authority. The New Bishops. The election of bishop for the new mission- ary jurisdiction of northern Minnesota was postponed until the endowment should be made complete yesterday.

It is explained that the summary action of the house of deputies in excluding printed matter from distribution was due to an at- tempt of a former parishioner of Bishop Pot- ter named Morty, who had had litigation with the bishop to circulate an attack on him on the floor of the house. ——_. — Close of the Spiritualists’ Convention. The national spiritualists’ convention con- cluded its business yesterday afternoon by re-electing the old board of officers and choosing two new trustees, Mrs. George A. Fuller and Mrs. Abbie E. Gettingill. At the evening ion there was a speech by Mrs. Cadwallader, a paper on spiritual- ism by Mr. George A. Bacon, and tests by Miss Maggie Waite and Miss Maggie Gaule. ——— Sent to Jail.

Providing Annuities for Those Who Have Labored in Schools for ‘Thirty-Five: Year: “T've never begged before, and really, I don’t like to do so at alt” ‘The proprietor of a well-known F street business establishment glanced up from his books with the intention of making an angry reply, but was silenced -vith surprise at the picture before him. It was a cheery, rosy-cheeked girl, with smiling face, who stood beside his desk. She was fashionably attired, and, judging from appearances, was not in such circumstances that would war- rant the solicitation of aid. An explanation was forthcoming, however, for the speaker continued: “But we learn in our profession to per- form cheerfully those things that are ob- noxious to us, and that’s why I’m so prompt.”” : “Profession?” murmured »the merchant, for want of something better to say, for the sudden and novel onslaught had proved somewhat startling. “Yes,” the young lady promptly made re- ply, “I’m a public school teacher, and I dropped in to see you in behalf of our bazaar —of course you are aware that cur organiza- tion, the Teachers’ Annuity and Aid Asso- clation, is going to give a big bazaar in De- cember to raise funds, and we want you to help us out with a donation. Either goods or money will do, and we'll appreciate it so much and be so grateful.” The last sentence was uttered in quite a pitiful tone, accompanied by a droop of two pretty eyelids, so what could the merchant do but surrender? He did so gracio'sly,and the visitor departed with a Jarge donation and a happy smile. Incidents similar to the one described are now occurring daily after school hours and all day Saturdays, and will continue with- out interruption until every mercaant in the city has been approached. Thus far, generous treatment has been accorded the solicitors, and they feel greatly stimulated and encouraged. The committee reports the receipt of the contributions from out-of-town merchants and publishers. In the city, they say, the smaller merchants have proven more gener- ous up to date than the proprietors of the large establishments, but everything is thankfully received It is the inteation to publish the names of all donors as svon as the committee gets fafrly under way with its work. An effort is to be ma‘e to secure as hon- orary members the attorneys and clergy- men of the city. It is also desired to inter- est the parents of school children in the bazaar. One of the teachers, deeply interes.ed in the annuity movement, stated to a Star re- porter: “Certainly none can doubt the right- ousness of seeking to alleviate the fate of those who, having labored at so arduois a calling for over thirty-five years on a salary averaging $600,faint by the way, and find la- bor no longer sweet,though the necessity for it still exists. It is in order to make provis- jon for such cases that our teachers have banded together in this association nd appear before the public for the first and last time in the guise of petitioners. “The merchants so far neglected by the central committee need feel no fear of slignt, as the local committees will be in the field, this week and continue the canvass. The next point of attack is to be the board of trade. Indeed, all sorts and conditioas of men are to be approached, so that -he en- tire community may partieipate in estab! ing an enterprise in whose benefits the ‘vhole community will share.” —_—__ . ‘Union Veteran Legion. ‘The Union Veteran Legion elected but two officers at Buffalo yesterday before ad- journment. They are: Chaplain-in-chief, Rev. John A. Danks, Cincinnati; senior vice commander, W. S. Norcross, Augusta, Me. Two ballots were taken for national eom- mander. The first resulted: James of Cin- cinnati, 141; Chapman of Bradford, 108; ahan of Buffalo, 51; Fanning of Colum- bus, Ohio, 16; Ceckran of Philadelphia, 9. The second ballot was not finished at the hour for adjournment. The election went over to this morning, as the veterans went to the falls in the afternoon. A resolution of sympathy with Cuba in her struggle with Spain was introduced by Col. W. S. Underwood of Westchester, Pa., and unanimously adopted. © Washington was chosen as the place of the next encampment.

E, Church came to an end last evening, after a three day’s session, which was attended by the most gratifying success. The capacity of the church was taxed to the extreme. Mr. George W. Havell conducted the prelimin- ary religious service, and there was appro- priate music by the mission choir. Presi- Gent Hilton presided, and after a solo by Miss Dana, Rev. E. D. Bailey of the Central Union Mission of this city spoke of the work and the financial needs of the institution. There were addresses by Rev. C. H. Mead, secretary of the National Temperance So- ciety, Maj. Hilton, Rey. Stephen Merritt and others. Rev. Mr. Merritt “spoke on the subject of temperance. Speaking of che situation in New York city, he said that Mr. Koosevelt was a little man, but he had backbone. He needed it to fight the saloéns in New York, but he had what was better—the spirit of God working in him. When he announced that he was going to close up the s2logns everybody said he could not do it. Roose- velt said, “Shut up.” The liquor men langh- ed. “Shut up,” he said. And New York went dry. After a brief religious service the con- vention formally adjourned. As a fitting after-service to the conven- tion, Dr. Brown has arranged for a grand auniee meeting this evening at Foundry i. Church. Maj. Hilton will have charge ay the service, and will be assisted by a num- ber of mission workers. —__->—__ Robberies Reported. Burglars entered the bar room of John P.
