The recent sale of the rights and fran- chises of the Washington and Chesapeake Beach railroad is believed by many persons who live on the line of the route to be a ferward step toward its completion into Washington as an independent line. It is, it is said, likely to become an electric road, and may diverge somewhat from its present to include portions of southern land, which are understood to be very desirable for settlement. It is thought that {ts completion as an electric road will neces- sarily produce the construction of branch feeders. : —_——__ ALEXANDRIA COUNTY. Muny Christmas celebrations were held in the county during the week. The one given by the Presbyterian Sunday school at Ball- stenund the one by the Methodist Sunday school at Mt.

The Christmas festtval of the Sunday school of the Methodist Church was held at that church last Friday night. The pro- gram was unique as well as interesting. A clever imitation of an old log cabin stood upon the stage, by which sat Mr. Daniet Miller, who represented old grandpa. The Sunday school scholars then marched upon the stage, and each asked grandpa to re- late a story. A brilliantly illuminated Christmas tree, laden with toys, graced one of the corners of the platform. Master Willie Smith impersonated Santa Claus. A solo, entitled ‘Fear Not," was sung by Miss Grace Stands. Stories of Christmas in India, Japan, China and Spain were told in turn by Susie and Rosie McChesney, Ida Scaxgs, Charlie Miller and Mary Cole, who represented the different countries.

During the absence of the family of Mr. Edward Garrett, near this place, Thursday evening last, a young. man in his employ named John Russel) met with a serious ac- cident. While leading a horse to water the animal became restive and rearing up struck Russell on the head, knocking him senseless. In this condition he remained upon the ground for half an hour, when regaining consciousness he managed to make his way to the house of a neighbor and make known his condition. Medical aid was at once summoned, when it was found that the injuries were of a danger- ous character. A portion of the scalp on the side of his head had been knocked off by the shoe of the horse, the flesh on the side of his face had been lacerated, and one eye badly injured. The symptoms also indicated concussion of the brain, al- though no bones were broken. The wounds about the face and eye are yet so much swollen that it is impossible to tell the exact injury done. ‘The Christian Church at this place was Friday night crowded to its utmost capacity the occasion being an entertainment given by the teachers and pupils of the Sunday school. The program rendered on the occa- sion was as follows: Coronation hymn, invo- cation; music, Ring Out, O Merry Bells; class piect, When Santa Claus Comes, by the little anes; music, Glory to God in the Highest; recitation, Will the New Year Come Tortcht?

Mrs. Josephine Glascott gave a delightful dance Thursday evening at her residence here in honor of her daughter, Mrs. Fred A. Bickford. The parlors were beautifully decorated with potted plants and ever- greens, in true Christmas style, and not- withstanding the severe storm in the early evening a host of friends were present to enjoy the hospitalities of Mrs. Glascott and her daughter, and to participate in the terpsichorean art to the music rendered by Prof. Douglass’ band.

Last Friday evening the village was hon- ored by the presence of Rev. B, L. Whit- man, ). D., president of Calumbian Univer- sity, who delivered the third lecture in the course now being given under the auspices of the Falls Church Village Improvement Society. ‘The speaker was presented by Mr. G, A. L. Merrifield. vice president of the society, who related that, in being re- cently introduced to the Washington Con- gregational Club, Dr. Newman said: ‘The gentleman was bora in Canada, but com- ing to Washington, through the state of Maine, had auly jed to his reputation and culture,” adding, “that now, having rrived at Falls Church, on the sacred soil t ta, he must consider his reputa- red, and education completed.” ; our protection and introduction of re Dr. Whitman's subject. was “The Message From Youth,” which was presented in a mest pleasing manner, both aa to original theught and oratory, His audience, com- posed of the best people of the village, showed great appreciation of the lecture, and at its close tendered the speaker an ovation, in soliciting am Introduction and grasp of his hand. While here President Whitman was the guest of Mr. G. A. L. Merrifield and his daughter, Miss Edith, who gave a_dinner of eighteen covers in his honor. The in- vited guests were Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Jenkins, Prof. and Mrs. W. W. Kinsley, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Nourse, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Eastman, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Phillips, the Misses Tinnie and Balle C. Merrifield'and Mr. Whipple of Rhode Island Powers Bound by Treaty to Protect Armenians. ‘To the Faltor of The Evening Star: Referring to the epinion of Prof. F. R. Sale of Louisville, Ky., In your 26th in- stant issue: “The Armenian hope probably vain, as property rights are not involved, war is net likely to be declared.” The Armenian question is not a property right, but a treaty right. After the Russo-Turkish war in 1878 in the treaty of the interna- tlonal congress at Rerlin, signed by all the representatives of the powers, the article 61 reads thus: “The Sublime Porte engages to realize without delay those ameliorations and re- ferms which local needs require in the provinces inhabited by the Armenians, and guarantee their security against Circas: and the Kurds. It undertakes to make Known from time to time the measures taken with this object to the powers, who will watch ever their application,” wht the conference in session in the ne gotiation of England with Turkey in the Je Ist reads “His imperial majesty, the sultan, promises to England to introduce neeessary reforms, agreed upon between the two powers, into the government, and for the protection of the Christian and other subjects of the Porte in these territories (Armenian provinces), and in order to en- able England to make necessary provision for executing her engagement his imperial majesty, the sultan, further consents to as- s.ng the Island of Cyprus, to be occupied and administered by England.” If the treaty right of the powers of hav- ing extra guardships for the proceetion of their respective embassies and subjects can be carried out with united action, why cennot the treaty right for the protection of the Armenians, signed over seventeen years ago by the same powers, be carried out with the same combined action, and while necessary by force? Do the powers respect their signatures? If so I should udge all the treaty rights ought to be ved equally and not only the one of 1f-interest. England has taken the responsibility of ‘orms in Armenia, for which she holds the Cy- prus island. What has she done for us so far? Nothing. While over thirty war ves- sels of the European powers were steaming up and down the Sea of Archipelago and the Bay of Salonica thousands and tens of thousands of Armenians were slaughtered and butchered, and still are, in all the provinces of Armenia, and the sultan was giving by autograph letter to Lord 8S: bury his word of honor that “he will intro- dvee reforms in Armenia." ‘Today the word “reform” in the artlele Gl of the Berlin treaty is carried out by the word of honor of the sultan, wh: reads: gnatures of all the European powers are ed with the blood of 100,000 inno- cent Armenians of all ayes and sexes, and erles for justice. Armenians are slaughter- ed because they have preserved their Ch tianity and would not embrace Mohamme- danism, Let the Christian nations see that all the Armenians are brave enough to dle as Christians rather than live as Moham- medans) May God have mercy on all Ar- menians. AVEDISS B. HERALD, A naturalized American citizen of Armen- fan birth. — A Change in the Herdic Route. To the Editor of The Evening Star: For over six years I have been a patron of the herdic company, whose coaches run from 15th and H streets northeast to 22d and G streets northwest. This morning 1 was completely surprised to read the fol- lowing nofice posted in one of the herdics: “On and after January 1, the herdics of this line will run only as far east as Nort’, Capitol and H streets." At first I was puzzied to find a reason for such ac tion, but finally concluded that the herdic company has been brought under the con- trol of the Columbia Street Car Company. The two lines run over the same route fro: 15th street northeast to 2d street north- west. In the “good old days” of horse cars, bebtail and otherwise, the two lines share the profits from a riding public on the same basis, i e., six tickets for but when the new “palace” cabie cars cf the Columbia company were put on the herdic company showed truly enterprising spirit by reducing the fare to three cents. Con- sequently its patronage has not fallen off, but apparently bas increased. Of the pas- scngers going west In the morning by far the largest portion live east of North Cap- {tol street. For instance, this morning there were fourteen passengers in the coach, of which three got in after passing North Capitol street. If ‘The Star can find acy other reason for this new move on the part of the herdic company than the one sug- gested above, I, with others, would be glad to learn it. Many persons’ will be incon- ven'enced by «he change, as, to say nothing of the difference in the fare, his no wh doubt an important item to a number, per- sons who have places of business on F street northwest can now _ reach those places without a change, while by the car Iine at least one and sometimes two trans- fers have to be made. If the herdic com- pany finds it to its interest to abandon Northeast Washington, let some one else start a line of coaches, They will realize a profit, as well as be an accommod, many, including Cc.

Dr. Radcliffe’s sermon yesterday morning at the New York Avenue Presby- terian Church was a review of the death record of the year, his text being “And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth.” His references to the many brilliant men in various walks of life whose stars have set during the year, were eloquent and beautiful. The men's meeting held under the aus- pices of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation was addressed yesterday after- neon by Rey. Dr. Samuel Domer, whe spoke on the subject, “What Do We Owe to Our Christian Mothers?” St. Paul’s Catholic Churcly observed yes- terday the first anniversary of its dedica- tion. High mass was celebrated by Arch- bishop Gross of Oregon, who also preached the sermon. The fifteenth anniversary exercises of All Souls’ Sunday school were largely attend- ed by the pupils and their parents yester- day afternoon. Christmas carols by the primary department, responsive readings, addresses by the former superintendent of the school and Rev. Dr. Crooker of Helena were the features of the program. Rev. Alexander Kent of thé People’s Church preached yesterday on the subject, “Retrospect and Prospect.” ———— Lively Fire Last Night. Fire which started about 8:30 o'clock last evening caused damage to the amount of $5,000 at the grocery establishment of Cook Fros., 1908 14th street northwest. It is thought that the flames originated from the furnace. They were discovered by Mr. John C. Cook, who resides with his fami in apartments above the store. He tele- phoned to No. fire engine compas and the firemen, who soon reached the scene, heir efforts to keeping the cellar. The loss, it is stated, red by insurance. oncentrated the tlaze in fs fully MOB’S AWFUL VENGEANCE, Horrible Lynching of a Kentuckian and His Paramoar. A special dispatch from Lebanon, Ky., sent last night, seys: Within two miles of this city last night a relentiees mob set fire to the house in which lived Mrs. Thomas West and Wm. Deveres The woman perished in the flames and the man was riddled with bullets in attempting to escape. Several months ago Deveres, a 1alddle- aged widower,was accused by Thomas West, & prosperous farmer, of intimacy with Mrs. West. Quarrel followed quarrel throughout the fall, until West instituted divorce pro- ceedings and declared that Deveres must die. The men met in Lebanon. West snap- ped his revolver, which missed fire, and Deveres killed him on the spot. On the plea of self-defense the murderer secured bail and scandalized the neighbor- hood by immediately taking his two daugh- ters and moving into West's house. The relatives of the murdered husband swore vengeance. The Avengers. Close to 10 o'clock a band uf men rode up to the West homestead and demanded ad- mittance. “Tom West is dead. Now !s your turn,” the spokesman called, and Deveres and the woman awoke to find their house surrounded. Mrs. West rushed to a darkened wi and began a wild hysterical plea for nie A dozen bullets answered her eries, and the demand for immediate surrender wes re- peated. Deveres, too, asked for a hearing, but his request was greeted with a shower of shot. We'll give you ten minutes to open up. Then you burn,” said the mob's leader, and his men quietly retired from the door. A hurried consultation was held inside the house ana then the little girl of Deveres was thrust out to with the mob, Ciad in her night robe, barefouted and unprotecte: she bravely walked out into the moonlis and sobbingly pleaded for her white-naired father’s life. “Get out. You're liable to get shot your- self,” a ruflian said, and the child fled to the cabin of a negro neighbor. M West then appeared at the door referring to her delicate condition, made a last appeal for merc: it was unavailing. The House Fired. In another moment the house was set on fire. The shrieks of the imprisoned wretches failed to move their torturers, who, as the flames reached the living room, could see man and woman in the agony of death by fire. Just before the roof fell the woman was seen to reel across the room and plunge keadiong into the fireplace among the burn- ing coals, and there she died. Wild with pain, Devere at the last mo- ment made a dash for liberty, but a score of bullets stopped him and he fell dead half a dozen steps from the door. This morning the tittle girl led her negro protector to the scene and there the bod‘es, scorched beyond recognition, were round, untouched by the lynchers. There is but little doubt that the members of the mob will be captured, as they were without masks and made no attempt at secrecy. Ww and THE MISSOURI FLOOD.
