A press dispatclt from Louisville, Ky., yesterday, says: “Rev. Joseph Specht, a young Episcopal minister from Alexandria, Va., and Miss Lena: Turner, daughter of one of the wealthiest citizens of Madison county, eloped from Richmond yesterday morning. The wires have been kept hot with messages to the police in different citles, but so far without result. “Miss Turner ts not much over sixteen, and her sister, Mrs. W. R. Loke, and Am- brese Dudley, Congressman McCreary’s private secretary, followed her to Lexing- ton. “Mr. Specht saw Mrs. Loke first, and he and Miss Turner managed to slip by un- noticed and took a train, presumably for this city, but after it had gone a few miles they got off. “It is supposed that they took a buggy at Nicholasville tonight and drove north with the intention of crossing the river in the morning and getting married in Ohio, as they left the train near there. “Police met the train on its arrival in Louisville late last night, having a tele- graphic order of arrest. Miss Turner will come into possession of a large fortune when she attains her majority.”’ Mr. Specht has been a student at the theological seminary near this city for the past three years, and was to be ordained next year. He has successfully passed all of his examinations in his course. He left the seminary about three weeks ago with- out telling any one where he was going, and the first heard of him after his de- parture was a letter from Richmond, Ky., asking that his mail be forwarded to that point. Since that time nothing has been heard of him. The news of his elopement was a great surprise as well as a great shock to his fellow students at the semi- nary, and his friends feel assured that when further news is received the mat- ter will be set straight and that there will be no reflection on the character of Mr. Specht. Mr. Specht is well known in Alexandria, where his gentlemanly dispost- tion and his general good character have won him many friends. When Mr Specht entered the seminary his matriculation vow contained a clause providing that he should not get married while connected with the seminary. Rev. F. A. Wallace, D. D., a member of the faculty of the Virginia Seminary, re- ceived a letter from Mr. Specht by last night's mail severing his connection with the seminary, thus doing away with his matriculation yow. In that letter Mr. Specht told Prof. Wallace that it was his intenticn to get married at once to Miss Turner, she being an orphan, and her guardian was not taking the. proper care of her money. Mr. Specht further says that if the faculty will permit it he will resume his course at the seminary next fall, when the session of 1896-7 opens. If they succeed in getting married his wife will reside at Gunston Hall, while he resumes his studies. The students at the seminary are anxéously awaiting further Mr. Specht was a great favorite Vhe Mayor Reprimanded an Officer, The maycr, under the instructions of the board of police commissioners, yesterday afternoon, in the presence of the entire po- lice force, had Officer James Hall before him, and after formaily reprimanding him for the shooting of William Bright pended him from the. force for sixty The mayor then made a the members of the force, warning them to be careful in drawing their pistols and telling them to clesely observe rule 39 of the poiice regulations, and that the com- sioners would hold them responsible infractions of it. He said he knew the police were often exposed to dange but he wanted them to be cool and col- lected at all tines in the discharge of their dutis A Banquet Tendered. Mr. J. Frank Cook last night handsome- ly entertained the members of the victor- ious Columbia Steam Fire Engine Com- pany at « banquet at his place of busi- ness, on King street. The hall was beau- tifully decorated for the occasion, and ‘thé table. .avas. bountifully supplied. with. all the delicacies of the season. Mr. Cook in a few and appropriate remarks, welcomed his guests. The reply was made by Mr. John H. Strider, vice president of the com- pany. Never before in the history of the company has such a royal feast been ten- dered them, ind. the members were loud in thefr praises for the hospitaitty shown them by Mr. Cook? An Injunction Granted. Messrs. A. W. Armstrong and J. R, Caton, attorneys for the Rosslyn Develop- ment Compeny, yesterday sued out an in- junction, which was granted by Judge J. K. M. Norton, against the Arlington,Wash- ington ard Falls Church Railway Company enjoining them from laying tracks on Chadwick avenue in Rosslyn; enjoining the maintenance and use of a car barn erected by said company in the middle of Canal street, and enjoining the use of a switch laid’ by said company on Canal street, Rosslyn. The New Sewer Progressing Slowly. The work on the new Pitt street sewer, as announced, has been begun and is pro- gressing slowly. Already -the ground has been opened for a quarter of a square from Princess street. Ropes have been stretched about the excavation to keep the unwary traveler from falling into the hole. At this point the sewer will be about ten feet deep, and will be made large enough to carry off all the water that will fall in an ordinary rain. Notes.

The case of Professor Sites, whose resig- nation as principal of the Eastern High School was recently asked by the school board committee on normal and high schools, continues to be a leading theme for discussion among school teachers and pu- pils, as well as parents. It bids fair to con- tinue uppermost in the public mind at least until the school board meets, and it is finally known whether the effort made in Professor Sites’ behalf is to be successful or not. ‘The committee of five appointed at a@ recent meeting in East Washington to Secure a reconsideration of the case have communicated with the school board com- mittee as well as the District Commission- ers. It was their desire to have a special meeting of the school board held to con- sider the matter, but it has been decided by the school trustees that it will be impossi- ble to grant this request. The committee will be given a hearing at the regular meet- ing of the board to be held June 20 at 7 P.m. Some members of the board are to be absent from the city between this and the 80th, and others will be so busily engaged in arranging the lists of teacherships for the coming year that it will not be pracd- cable to hold a special meeting vefore the date of a regular meeting. It was under- stood today that a committee representing the opposition to Professor Sites will be formed, and that they will be given a hear- ing at the same time. So the meeting of June 30 is apt to be one of much interest. So far the District Commissioners have ven ae acasen of = intention to interfere he action of the board ij espect Professor Sites. peers —_——__ For Divorce.

MENT My little boy was afflicted with Eczema in acute m for nearly a year, during which time we tried without success, if not every known remedy, at least a sufficient number to become thoroughly alarmed. Temedies that proved efficacious for others had no apparent effect upon the child. The disorder appeared on the right check, and was of a Dlistery and bloody form. His pillow, morninzs, would bear the bloody imprint of the side of his face, while it was impossible to prevent the little fellow from scratching his face, owing to the in- ity of the itching. Being advised to try CUTI- RA, I purchased a box. The first application was made before putting the child to bed at night, and the statement may be doubted, but it is never theless a fact, that the appearance of the affected parts showed A NOTICEAMLE IMPROVEMENT THE NEXT MORNING. Continued use of CUTT- CURA fully demonstrated Sts success, and as a re- sult my child has as fair and smooth skin as can be found anywhere.
