The Trouble Said to Be Due to Her Coustruction From Faulty Designs. According to reports received at the Navy Department, the battle ship Texas has met with an accident at the New York navy yard, somewhat similar to that which the cruiser Columbia met with at Southampton several months ago. The Texas went into dry dock a week ago to be cleaned and painted, and to remove an accumulation of sea weeds which had grown in the pipe gratings leading to the circulating pumps. On the 8th instant Capt. Glass reported an apparent straining of the ship on the keel blocks. On the 11th instant further strain- ing of the ship was reported, and then the dock was flooded to a depth of eleven feet, as far as the water could be admitted with- out danger of disturbing the position of the Texas on the blocks. The Damage Done. It appears from preliminary reports that about twenty-one of the bottom frames and brackets of the Texas are buckled from a quarter of an inch to an inch and a half, while the cement lining of the double bot- tom is cracked in many places. Whether it will be necessary to undertake to repair these frames and rerrove the dents in the bottom cannot be told until a further exam- ination is made, and to do this it may be necessary to remove all of the weights of the ship, in order to draw off the eleven feet of water safely, otherwise the strain might again become excessive, and irrepar- able injury follow. The vessel was built at the Norfolk navy yard on plans purchased from England. It is alleged that the fault in her construction was in the concentration of enormous weights in small portions of the hull." When attention was first caJled to the defects of the design of a naval board was created, which went carefully over all of the calcu- lations and wo .nd up by accepting the ver- dict of Constructor Bowles, that the ship could be built successfully. Eee HONOR TO MRS. STANTON. Wimodaughsis Gives a Characteristic Celebration. Wimodaughsis celebrated Mrs. Stanton’s eightieth birthday last night. The rooms on I street were profusely decorated with flowers, the yellow chrysanthemum conspic- uously presenting the official suffrage color. Mrs. Stanton’s portrait was specially hon- ored in the decoration. Badges worn by the ladies bore Mrs. Stanton’s vignette, with that of Miss Anthony on the reverse, and the mottoes: “Man and woman, a simui- taneous creation,” and “Perfect equality of rights for woman.” The officers of the club, Mrs. Ellen Powell Thompson, Mrs. Jeannette M. Bradley, Mrs. Mary L. Ben- nett, Miss Cora D. Thomas, Mrs. Kate Burt, Miss Katharine Garst and Miss Mary H. Williams, received the guests of the even- ing. Among those who made brief ad- dresses were Mrs. Marble, Mrs.Thomas,Mrs. Belva Lockwood, Mrs. Garst, Dr. Edson, Mrs. Mary Lockwood, Miss Wolf, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Mussey, Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Havens. The Mandolin Club, composed of Misses Marble, Perry, Ellis ana Clifton, rendered several pleasing selections. Mrs. Case had charge of the refreshments. There was a large cake beautifully dec- orated with eighty lighted candles. During the evening the guests voted on the follow- ing questions: “Should women have full suffrage?” “Should women have suffrage with an educational qualification?” “Should women have suffrage with a property quall-- fication?” “Should women remain disfran- chised?”’ The judges were Mrs. Jeannie Fos- ter Brackett, Mr. Clifford Howard; clerks, Misses Madge McCalmont and Brill. There were 87 votes cast, but 5 were thrown out. The first proposition received a majority at first, and after the distribu- tion of the other votes, in accordance with the preferential system. it was found that the vote for full suffrage was three-fourths of the total vote. a Microscopical Society Banquet. The twelfth anniversary of the Micros- copical Society of Washington was appropri- ately celebrated at Freund's last evening by a banquet, which proved one of the most enjoyable affairs in the history of the or- ganization. The hall and table were lav- ishly decorated with roses and chrysan- themums. The president of the soclety, Dr. Collins Marshall, presided, and Dr. C. T. Caldwell officiated as toastmaker. Toasts were responded to by Dr. Marshall, Dr. William H, Seaman, Dr. Robert Reyburn and Dr. J. Melvin Lamb. in addition addresses were made by sev- eral others. Those present. were: Dr. and Mrs. W.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA The Oircnit Court for the County Met Yeeterday. City Council Affairs—Charter Granted a Telephone Company—Other Local Netes. The circuit court for the county, Judge C. E.

Sadler, colored, of this city, were admitted to practice in this court. Court then adjourned until today. City Council The city council considered for three hours last night the petition of the Wash- ington Southern Railroad Cempany to be allowed to lay 2. double track on Fayette street. Many of the persons who own preperty on that street are opposed to this Petition, and their champions in council stoutly protested the granting of the re- quest. It was finally allowed after a good deal of debate, but with several amend- ments, the most important of which is that the company must build a depot in Alex- andria to cost not less than $20,000. When the petiticn was forwarded to the board of aldermen they voted to let it lay over un- til their next meeting. The recommenda- tion of the board of police commissioners for an increase of the number of policemen was adversely passed upon by the council. That body favored increasing the salaries of the present policemen. The board of aldermen favored the commissioners’ rec- cmmendation, and this was finally agreed to by the council. Sent to Jail. William Taylor, alias “Buck,” who was arrested in this city several days ago, as mentioned in The Star, charged with house- breaking in the county, was yesterday turned ever to Deputy Sheriff E. M. Deu- terman of the county, who placed him in jail, where he will be confined until the next term of the county court. Taylor, it will be remembered, was arrested here about a month ago on the same charge, Lut was acquitted by a magistrate before whom he was taken. The grand jury, how- ever, subsequently found a true bill against him. Charter Granted. A charter has been granted in Richmond to the Home Telephone Company of this clty. The capital stock is to be $25,000, in shares of $10 each, and the real estate to be held by it shall be not more than ten acres. The principal office of the company is to be in this city, with branches else- where, ard the chief business the erection and maintenence of such lines and systems in Alexandria and elsewhere. The officers are F. B. Hubbell, president; Wm. L. Mar- bury, vice president; James Russell, treas- urer; W. J. Aitcherson, secretary and gen- eral maneger—all of Baltimore. This com- pany wishes to establish an exchange in this city at aa early date. A Pretty Wedding. Mr. Edgar Warfield, jr., and Miss Abbie Bettis were married at the M. E. Church South. Rev. Mr. Williams performed the ceremony. The church was handsomely decorated with palms and flowers. The church was crowded to overflowing by the friends of the young couple. The ushers were Messrs. Charles Fisher, W. S. Lam- bert, James Hudson, Harry Donnelly of Washington, George Warfield and George Maukin of Falls Church. Mr. and Mrs. Warfield left on the 11:20 train for an ex- tended southern trip, during which they will visit the exposition. Inquest Not Completed. The police have not yet succeeded in ar- resting Kraus, the Washington plumber, whose evidence in the burning to death of the Davis woman on Sunday night, as men- tioned in The Star, is badly needed, and the inquest over the woman was not re- sumed yesterday, but will be today. The body of the woman is still kept at De- maine’s undertaking establishment awaiiing the action of the coroner. Notes, ‘The Postal Telegraph Company, through their manager in this city, Hoyer, yesterday paid their license tax under protest. Mr. Charles Fisher and Miss Virgie Flem- ing, the second daughter of Mr. Edgar Flem- ing, will be married in the Second Presby- terian Church Wednesday, the 20th instant. Rey. G. S. Bacchus of Washington last night preached an interesting sermon in the Methodist Protestant Church. Mr. J. R. Caton, commissioner, has sold to Mrs. C. F. Greenwood a lot on the east side of Fayette street between Queen and Prin- cess streets for $170. ‘The horse attached to the milk wagon of Mr. George West ran away on upper King street yesterday. The wagon struck a post near Stone bridge, and was somewhat dam- eged. Albert Hawkins, the colored boy confined here in jeil under sentence of death for an attempt at criminal essault on little Sadie Shreier in the county about two weeks ago, is to have a new trial, Judge Charles E. Nicol of the circuit court having granted him a writ of error and a new trial in the county court on a technicality. The case will be tried again at the November term of the court, which begins the 25th of the month. —_————.——_ Children in Danger. To the Editor of The Eventag Star: Last evening when on Capitol Hill be- tween Maryland avenue and E street northeast I came up with two groups of white children, one a boy of sixteen with a gir) perhaps fifteen; the other group @ young girl with two boys, all about four- teen years of age. The conduct of these two groups excited my attention at some distance. As I drew near to them they be- gan to avoid me, but curiosity led me to follow them along FB street toward 5th, where 1 came up with them. The first group of two had their arms around each other, the cloak of ithe girl being large enough for both herself and her young iover. The girl m the second group had her arms around the necks of the two boys, and they had both their arm- around her. It was dusk, between 6 and 6:30, and when I came up to them they changed their at- titude somewhat. They all stopped. I stop- ped and locked at them, In the dim light from a street tamp a hur:dred feet off I could not clearly see the faces of any one of them. By their dress they were of re- spectable parentage. That this parentage may save their children from terms in the reform school and house of the good shep- herd, respeciively, I have thus written to you, and give you the colloquy that fol- lowed my coming up with them: ‘Well, have you done Icoking at us?” ‘No, I have not. I have stopped, how- ever, to learn of you if this is the way all young children behave in East Washing: ton.” os “No, it is not, but ft Is the way we be. have, and it is none of your business,” these answers being given in turn by two of the boys, the arms of the several sets, being unraveled, as it were. I replied,. quietly taking out a pencil and a newspaper from my pocket, you young ladies and gentlemen will, I pre- sume, have no objection to giving me your names and where y live? With this one of the boys exclaimed, ‘he devil you say!" or words to that ef- fect. The girls, shrieking, started on a rapid run toward Sth street and the boys afier them, and then down that street to D. They may yet be running; it seamed as if they never wanted to stop! This is written that the parents of these and of other children roaming thus in twilight hours may have their eyes opened to.a danger that Mes close to those very d to them. “A hint to the wise Is suffl- cient.” BW.
