Last of the Bi-Monthly Mass Meetings and the Matters Discussed— Splendid Growth. The last of the bi-monthly mass meetings of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, local council, took place last evening at Epi- phany Chapel, in Southwest Washington. This is the first year that such meetings have been held, but the interest manifested has been of such a character, and the at- tendance so good, that the gatherings will be continued in a like manner next year, it is expected. On St. Andrew's day, which is now not very far off, all of the twenty- five chapters will meet at their respective churches and elect officers far the following year, and then marching in separate bodies they will go to some designated place of worship, usually St. John’s Church, Wash- ington, and meet in annual session for divine worship and for the election of offi- cers of the council. The meeting last evening was presided over by President Perry B. Pierce, and the religious exercises of the organization were conducted by its chaplain, Rev. Albert M. Hilliker. Mr. John F.

Blanks are being sent from headquarters of the order in New York with questions for each chapter to answer, as to what It is doing in the brotherhood work, and as to how well it is succeeding. The question of es- tablishing brotherhood rooms was also up for discussion, but no definite action was taken. The Chicago brotherhood house re- celved a thorough exposition at the Louis- ville convention, and as a consequence it Impressed some of the local delegates, as could be seen from the!r conversation last evening.

AND PER- D, DISEASES STOMACH given power to act in the matter, and will probably have some plan ready for brother- hood reading rooms in a short while. A feature of the program was the reports of chapter secretaries of the work accom- plished during the past year. St. Paul's chapter has established a Bible class, and Lr. F. S. S. Nash on the part of Epiphany stated that they are doing the customary brotherhood work, and also conducting meetings over at Fort Myer and at the Freedmen’s Hospital. Trinity has also es- tablished a Bible class with an average at- tendence from about sixteen to twenty and in addition has recruited its ranks until It is now one of the largest chapters in the District. St. Andrew's is enjoying the ben- efit of a reading room lately organized and has also a hospital committee. In general the reports indicated that new life has been instilled into every department of the brotherhood and that while the progress of the church in Washington has been suftl- cient to warrant the setting off of a sepa rate diocese, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew is also making rapid strides in the same direction. Rev. Mr. Davenport of Emanuel Chapter offered a resolution, which pro- posed in substance that the council rent Harris’ Theater to be used as a mission to be conducted under the auspices of all the chapters conjointly. The executive com- mittee was given power to act on this. An interesting number on the program was the presence of Mr. John W. Wood of New Yerk, the general secretary of the broth- erhood in the United States. In the course of a very interesting address Mr. Wool ated that the first thing every chapter heuld do is to see that each member fol- lows the two fundamental rules, namel; the rule of prayer and the rule of ser iee, and that after that other work could be Wood gave it as his experience that advertising rightly directed is of great assistance in carrying on the work of the church, Corporate celebration of the holy communion should be held by each chap- ter at least once in every two month Short addresses were delivered by the evs. Gilbert F. Williams and Thomas 0. Tongue and by Messrs. Barnabas Bryan and George F. Salter. Some remarks on free pews and an open church provoked much applause. ——.—— 4 DISTRICT JAIL. Conditions Prevailing There Are Very Favorable. Attorney General Harmon has received the report of John R. Leonard, warden of the United States jail in the District, covering operations for the past fiscal year. He says that during the spring several necessary im- provements were made, Including a bake oven range and minor changes in kitchen. The water closets were overhauled and a new one added, and necessary repairs were made to the stable and watchman’s box. “The building is in need of a new roof,” he says, “for, although it was repaired a year ago, and will possibly last through the com- ing winter, it leaks badly in several plac during a heavy rain, and as a whole it is in a bad condition. No fault can be found with the contractors for supplies. They are giving entire satisfaction. The jail is in gvod sanitary condition, and I have no sug- gestions to make on that subject. We are indebted to the Department of Justice and to the honorable judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the United States district attorney for their assistance and for their promptness In dis- posing of those cases held for trial. ‘The warden incloses a copy of the report of Dr. D. K. Shute, physician to the jail, re- garding the medical affairs of the institu- ticn, from which it appears that there was but one death during the year. This was a cas¢ Of suicide, and was entirely unforeseen and unexpected, and, under the circum- stances, could not have been prevented. “As a whole,” says Dr. Shute, “the health of the prisoners and officers of the jail has been very good. During the months of September and October, on account of the close proxim- ity of the jail to the marshes of the Eastern branch of the Potomac, an unusually large number of both prisoners and officers were affected with severe attacks of malarial fever. The life of one prisoner was seriously imperiled on account of the protracted and repeated attacks of malarial fever, inducing repeated and dangerous hemorrhages from his nose.” the Hcurs—10 to 5; Evenings, 7 to 8; Sundays,10 to 2. in any form positively and perma- Cancer 0» ; theory of neS 8m omen : Raleigh. ‘hicago; Frank Portes, A. orfolk, Va.; Wm.

Intelligence has reached here of the death in Norristown, Pa.,of Mrs. Anna Gibson, nee Wirgard, wife of Rev. Mr. Gibson, a lady formerly very prominent in Methodist church work in Georgetown. She died Fri- day last suddenly. Mrs. Gibson was the daughter of the late Peter Wingard, whose femily is numbered among the pioneers uf rgetown. Deceased married an Epis palian minister, whose charge is at Nor town, Pa. Miss Jane C. Jones, one of those who pur- ticipated in the “Harvest Concert” Sunday at the Baptist Church in Tenleytown and appeared in the best of spirits, died suddenly yesterday at 3 o'clock. An attack at the heart brought on death.

There are chrysanthemum shows and chrysanthemum shows, but that in progre: at the popular Brother, No. 1224 F street, is deserving of a high distinctive position in the calendar of such displays. It may be better styled a flower show, for while many and remark- able specimens of rare chrysanthemums are shown in rich abundance, there is also a profuse arrangement of exquisite roses and carnations, while banks of purple violets fili the atmosphere with their sweet per- fume. Some of the specimens of chrysan- themums shown are the wonderful “Pitcher and Manda”—immense blooms with golden centers and white edges—the “Golden Wed- ding,” the “Lincoln,” the iss Minnie Wanamaker,” the “L. C. Maden,” the “Louis Bochmer,” the “Eugene Dalledens,” and a host of others, showing the perfection to which chrysanthemum culture has been brought. Great masses of American beauty and other roses, and beds of violets are In- terspersed among the chrysanthemums, which nestle in maiden-hair and the rare adientum farleyense ferns. In the rear apartment the Messrs. Gude have prepared a novel and striking effect. A table is laid for ten persons with appro- priate silver ware, cut glass, delicate china and handsome candelabra, and decorated with American beauty roses. There is a corsage bouquet and a boutonniere of the same flower at the alternate plates, and the result is very pretty. Gude & Brothers’ flower show is well worth a visit and an extended examination of its many and mar- velous beauties, especially when it is known that all of them are home products, being grown near Anacostia in the Gude conser- vatories. tablishment of A.

SWISS CELEBRATION The Anniversary of the Independence of the Nation. The Gruetli Verein of Washington last night at Arion Hall, on Sth street, gave its aunval entertainment in celebration of the Sssth anriversary of the independence of Switzerland. The Swiss and many of their friends turned out m gratifying numbers. As usual, the affair had more the char- acter of a fam'ly gathering than that of a public festi Whole families attended in a body. Young and old assembled around the festive board and partook of their na- tive Hallauer, Zueribieter or domestic beer, with accompanying solids. Patri- etic songs volunteered by different groups of clear and ringing “voices were ren- dered in German, French, Italian and Erglish, but when the orchestra struck up the national hymn, “Rufts du Mein Vater- land,” sung to the tune of America, the whole assemblage joined in one accord, the effect of which was véry impressive, al- theugh the werds used” comprised five’ dit- ferent lenguages.

Gary, a white man about forty-five years of age, was charged this morning in the police court with robbin§ Mr. Daniel Henry, president of the Henry Athletic Club of this city of $230. It appears that at about 12:30 last night Mr. Henry was tak- ing a nap on a sofa in a room just back of his bar room, when Gary entered and pro- ceeded to go through him, and succeeded in securing the above amount. Later Mr. Henry reported the case to Lieut. Smith and this mcrning at about 6 o'clock Officer Beach arrested him, and when he was searched at the station house a $10 note and a $5 note were found upon his person. Gary denies the charge and said that the money found upon him was his own, but as it was known that he was a doubtful char- acter his story is doubted. Mayor Thomp- son after hearing all the evidence sent him on to the grand jury. Call Accepted. Rev. Berryman Green of Leesburg has accepted a call to Christ Church, this city, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Rev. Henderson Suter. Mr. Green declined a call to Christ Church a few weeks since, but Monday night last at a meeting of the vestry of that church the call was _re- newed and a committee was appointed to wait on Mr. Green and present it in per- son. A memorial was also sent by the com- mittee to the vestry of St. James Church calling attention to the wider field open to Mr. Green in Alexandria and requesting them to release him from any obligation he might consider himself under to remain in Leesburg. The committee from Christ Church met the vestry of St. James Church in Leesburg last Thursday and subsequent- ly after a consultation with his vestry Mr. Gree decided to accept the call. Mr. Green is recognized as a man of ability and pron:- ise, and is perhaps one er the best among the younger clergy of the diocese, and be- sides is a good parish worker and no doubt in the near future will be one of the prom- inent clergy of the diocese. He will not take charge of his new parish until about the first of the year. Charter Granted. The Home Telephone Company of this city, which is now after a franchise to establish an exchange here and give the merchants cheaper telephone service than that given by the old company, was yesterday granted a charter of incorporation by Judge Norton of the corporation court. The object of the company, as set forth in the charter, is to establish and operate telephone systems in Alexandria and elsewhere in the state. The capital stock is fixed at $25,000, divided into shares of $10 each. Mr. W. E. Fendall is named as the local representative of the company, and tae officers, who are all of Baltimore, are J. B. Hubbell, president; Jas. Russell, treasurer, and W. J. Atkinson, sec- retary and general manager. The officers, with the following, constitute the director: John J. Culver, W. F. McBriely and Lew! Ashman. The Fortieth Anniversary. Sunday was the fortieth anniversary of one of Alexandria's sad days. On the 17th of No- vember, 1855, while the gallant volunteer firemen of this city were striving to save from destruction the store of Turner & Mc- Dowell on King street between Fairfax and Lee streets, the wall fell and instantly killed seven of the firemen,whose names are chisel- ed on the monument at Ivy Hill cemetery, which records the city’s appreciation of their public spirit and the sorrow of their fellow-citizens for their untimely death. Real Estate Transfers, The following bargain and sale deeds were admitted to record in the clerk's office of the corporation court yesterday: Richard Thompson and William H. Smith, a lot of round on the cast side of Alfred street be- tween Queen and Princess, the consideration being nominal. George R. Hill and others to Mattie Burr, a lot and improvements ly- ing within the city and county of Alexandria on Pitt street extended north of Mont- somery street, for $6u0, Surrendered Himse} Jack Heath, who was recently indicted by the grand jury of the county court for conducting a gambling house in the county and whese place was recently raided by Detective Baldwin, under instruction from Gov. O’Ferrall, as published in The Star, came to this city yesterday and surrender- ed himself, and was released on tail in the m of $0 for his appearance at the next term of the county court. School Mone; The annual appropriation has been made to the schools of the various counties and clties of the state from the fund, which consists of accumulated interest on invest- ments of the literary fund and arrearages. The appropriation is at the rate of 27 cents ker capita of the school population, Alex- andria city will get $1,205; Alexandria coun- 0, Clarke, $810.54; Culpeper, $1 Fairfax, $1,5° Fauqvier, $2, Kirg George, ; Loudoun, $2, Orange, $1,495.09; Prince William, ; Rappahannock, $989.01; Stafford, Warren, $1,039.23, and Westmore- jand, $40.14. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Ed. O'Neil, James Conrad, Edward Smith, charged with ya- grancy, ordered to leave the city. William Gary, arrested by Officer Beach, charged with robbing Dan Henry of $230, was sent on to the grand jury. John Dogan and George Howard, colored, charged with an assault on a small white boy, were fined $2 each. James Sullivan, arrested by Otti- cer Davis, charged with being a suspicious character, was sent to the chain gang for ninety days. Notes. At a called meeting of the city council last night the Home Telephone Company was given the right to erect poles, ete., for its new line. Nothing has yet been heard of Mr. J. W. Ebert, wo so mysteriously disappeared from his home in this city some time ago, as published. Miss Virginia Corse of this city has re- signed as secretary of the state division of the Daugiters of the Confederacy. Mr. S. H. Lunt and his sister, Miss Mary Lunt, arrived home last night from Minne- sota, where they have been visiting for some time. ——_—_ A Great Sale of Ceramics, Local connoisseurs are taking a great In- terest in the coming sale of the De Manouv- rier collection of ceramic art in the exhibi- tion gallery of Messrs. C. G. Sloan & Ci 1407 G street. The sale commences tomor- row morning at 11 o'clock, and continues through Saturday, with sales each day at 11 and 3 o'clock.

Mater, the veterinary surgeon charged with assaulting Mrs. Fannie Reed, a pension office clerk, made a promise to the police yesterday that he would have his client in court when the case was ready for trial, but Precinct Detective Helan and Policeman Flathers learned that he was in a room over Geyer's livery stable, on C street, ard last evening they went there in search of him. As the doors were all lock- ed and barred, the officers found it neces- sary to guin entrance to the loft by using an extension ladder, and the horse doctor was more than surprised when he saw the face of Policeman Flathers at the windo Knowing he was caught, he offered no re- sistance, but went with the officers, and to- day he appeared at the bar of the Poiice Court, charged with the assault. Lawyer Ford Coombs was in court to as- sist Mr. Fields in the defense, while Mr. Mullowny represented the prosecution. A plea of not guilty was entered, and Mrs. Reed, who does not live with her hus- band, was given a seat on the witness stand. Her face was terribly bruised and swollen, her eyes red, and her condition was such that even her most intimate friend would scarcely have recognized her. 5 was heavily veiled, but this she lifted by direction of the court in order that her voice might be distinctly heard by counsel and the court. The Assault, “I live at No. 104 E street northeast, next door to my father’s hous: she said, in an- swer to the prosecuting attorney's ques- tion. Last Thursday evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, she said, she left home to go to her dressmaker's, on Ist street, and while walking along the street the doctor drove up in his buggy. He stopped. When the buggy stopped he asked her to get in. “He took hold of my arm,” she said, “and I thought he had a pistol. I got in the buggy and we drove out somewhere in the northeastern section, There he asked me questions, and because I did not answer as he wanted me to answer he pounded me. He had threatened me before, and I was afraid of him.” “And what happened after this?” inter- rupted the court. “He swore at me and threatened to cut my throat from ear to ear,” she answered. “And he had a knife. +He walked his horse slowly along the road and [ prayed for him to take me back to my children.” “Did he take you home?” “Yes, sir; and he was so afraid I'd get in father’s house that he followed me to the doo hat brought about this condition of affairs?’ Judge Miller wanted to know. “He's jealous of me,” she answered; “and he has no right to be, for he’s a married man.” “Has he been visiting you?” “Yes, sir; he visited me a long time be- fore 1 knew he was married.” “Have you been going with him since?” Not since 1 moved next door to fath- er's. On cross-examination witness denied that she had ever been to 801 D street with the defendant. She also denied that she was drinking with him on Thursday, the even- ing of the alleged assault. Witness did not remember that she went with him as far as Bladensburg, and she knew when she got home it was after midnight. Mrs. Reed's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Burlingame, were in court and heard the evidence, and Mr. Mullowny of- fered evidence to show Mrs. Reed's condi- tion when she reached home. Defendant's Story. The defendant, in his own defense, denied that he had assaulted Mrs. Reed. He said he met her in pursuance of an agreement made on Monday night, and they drove out to Bladensburg together. Before they started each had a drink of whisky, and he bought a bottle of liquor to drink on the way out to the Maryland village. When they reached Bladensburg they went to Garges’ saloon, and there had about six drinks. On their return home and while crossing the bridge at Bladensburg the horse shied, and Mrs. Reed was thrown over the dashboagd. Her face struck against the shaft, and it was In this way that her face was so badly injured. He denied Mrs. Reed’s statement that he was jealous of her. He had known her a long ume, and thought a great deal of her, but was not jealous. Mrs. Reed denied the horse doctor's state- ments, and Judge Miller then listened to arguments. The defendant's counsel argued that what happened did not happen in this jurisdiction, but in Maryland. They thought that in view of his positive denial there certainly should be some doubt in the court’s mind. But Judge Miller had no doubt about the man’s guilt, nor did he have doubt about where the affair happened. The veterinarian was given the full ex- tent of the law—three hundred and sixty- four days in jail. ——— INSTRUCTION OF CADETS, A Change in the Method in the Rev enue Cutter Service. The Treasury Department has made a change in the method of instructing cade’ in the revenue cutter service, so that here- after they will be given practical lessons only in seamanship, ordnance and the actual duties of officers. Years ago cadets were taken in the service but poorly prepared, and an education in the rudimentary branches was required before they w competent to take up the higher professional work. Now, however, the examinations have been made mere rigid and the subjects covered extended, so that cadets are well educated on entering and do not require further instruction.
