Mrs. Heller had been ill since January, and although her death was not unexpected, !t will be a shock to her wide circle of friends and ac- quaintances in this city and elsewhere. Mrs. Heller was born in Germany in 1832, coming to this country and_ settling in Richmond three years later. The death of Mr. Heller occurred in Richmond in 1872, and shortly afterward Mrs. Heller moved to this city. Eight children survive Mrs. Heller, and among these are Mrs. Isadore nd Dr. Joseph F.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Ocnsiderable Excitement Caused by an At- tempted Rescue of Prisoners, Cases in the Police Court and an Ac- eldent—Other Local Notes of Interest. Considerable excitement was created about 9 o'clock Saturday night near the corner of Royal and Cameron streets. Constable William Webster arrested Frank, allas “Sleepy,” Hayes and Harry Simms on a capias issued by Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corporation court. Constable Web- ster was assisted by Officer Ferguson, and when Webster told them to consider them- selves under arrest Simms ran, but was ptured before he had gone two squares. Both prisoners began to “buck,” and it was not before a great deal of force had been used that they safely landed at the station house. . Fully 200 people congre- gated around the officers, and William Thomas and Thomas Lyles endeavored to create a riot by telling the prisoners not to %o with the officers. They were arrested, and Mayor Thompson this morning fined them $10 each. It will be remembered that some time ago Simms and Hayes were tried in the cor- Poration court, charged with highway rob- bery, ard the jury brought in a verdict fining them $25 and costs each. They man- aged in some way to leave the court room as the crowd was leaving, and the judge issued the capias for their arrest and it was not until Saturday night that they could be found. They will be taken before the judge, who will sentence them to jail. Will Be Taken to the Court of Ap- peals. Commonwealth Attorney Marbury Satur- Gay notified Mcesrs.

Charles Perry, a fourteen-year-old colored boy, who claims his home as Washington, was quite painfully, but not seriously, in- jured last night in the freight yards of the Southern Railway Company. It appears that the boy was endeavoring to steal a ride on an outgoing freight train, when he lost his footing, falling between the bumpers. Fortunately only his arm was caught. He was taken to Summers’ drug store, near by, where he received medical attention, and later he was sent to his home in Washing- ton. A Lutheran Pastor Installed. Rev. J. M. Eberlein, the new pastor of the German Lutheran Church, was installed yesterday afternoon. The services were conducted by Revs. Morhart, Luebkert,King and Hamm of Washington, and were very appropriate. The church had been hand- somely decorated for the occasion, and there were quite a number of visitors trom Wash- ington. Note: Engireer William Wood of the Columbia Steam Fire Engine Company left this morning for Leonardtown, where he will spend his ten days’ leave of absence. Mr. Frank L. Entwisle, who has so efficiently fired the “Champion” in her numerous con- tests, has charge of the engine during Mr. Wood's absence. Quite a large number of Alexandrians wil attend the graud democratic rauy at Fails Church tomorrow. Police Uilicer Goods, who was quite pain- fully hurt by-being thrown from a horse a few days ago, is still confined to his home. Miss Mary McCaffery of Washington,who has been the guest of her brother, Mr. W. W. McCaffery, in this city, has returned home. Mr. Lucian Duffy, the famous scene painter of Washington, was in the city yesterday on a visit to friends. Mrs. J. T. Beckham and daughter left this morning for Camden, Caroline county, to spend the month of August. Dr. and Mrs. E. 8. Leadbeater of this city have gone to Atlantic City on a visit to their daughter. Mr. H. H. Young, clerk of the Alexan- dria county court, and his daughter, Miss Millie, will leave in a few days for Kent county, Md., on a visit to friends. Mrs. Brodie and her son Isaac returned home yesterday afternoon from an extend- ed visit to Baltimore. A FORTUNE IN A BUST! A Former Washington Woman's Odd Bank for Her Money. Miss Della McGrenn, a Nova Scotian, who has been for years the housekeeper at the Ocean View Hotel, Block Is!and, and at the Hamilton, this city, died a few days ago, at Block Island, leaving a for- tune of $25,000 stowed away in an old wire bustle. Her death was caused by paraly- sis, and she was stricken when she went to call at the apartments of Mr. Michael Ball, who died Friday. Both deaths occur- red in the same hotel on the Island. Miss McGrenn has relatives with whom she corresponded frequently, but they are unknown to the hotel people, and her re- mains have been placed in a receiving tomb awaiting a claimant. The most pe- culiar feature in this discovery of the bank notes, bank books and securities tucked away in the bustle is that the bustle was cast away in a lot of rubbish and by the merest chance an inquisitive servant pull- ed it to pieces. a Interstate Democrats Meet. The Interstate Democratic Association, at a meeting held Saturday night, decided not to attend the approaching gathering at Madison Square Garden, New York, to notify Messrs. Bryan and Sewall of their neminations. This course was taken be- cause of the refusal of the railroad com- panies to reduce their rates for the occa- sion. A resolution was adopted commend- ing Mr. Frank Hosford, president of the association, for resigning his position as correspondent of tne Detroit Free Press because of that paper's stand on the finan- cial question. Addresses of a strong silver flavor were delivered by J. I. Thompson of Iowa and J. W. Nichol of Indiana. ‘The association will meet again next Saturday night. — Every day makes our business more popular. There's no Rip Van Winkle‘sm in our methods, no clogging the wheels of business.

Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Sunderland, the wife of Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland, the venera- ble copastor of the First Presbyterian Church, died Saturday evening at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Orrin Day, in Cats- kil, N. Y. Mrs. Sunderland had a wide circle of ac- quaintances and friends in this city, and the news of her death, while not unexpect- ed, has been received with genuine sorrow. She was in the seventy-sixth year of her age, and had been in failing health for some years past. Several months ago she went to Atintic City, and in June was taken to the home of her daughter, where she was joined by her husband after the close of the Christian Endeavor conven- tion. She was a Miss Tomlinson of Ver- mont, and she and the doctor had been married for fifty-three years. Some three years ago they celebrated their golden wed- ding, and the event was made a memora- ble one by the members of their church and their host of other friends. Mrs. Sun- derland was a woman of the sweetest Christian character, and she was an able assistant to her husband in his ministerial work. Three children were born to them, but only one, Mrs. Day, survives. The fu- neral will be held in Catskill tomorrow. Mr. James L. Norris and several other friends of the family went on yesterday to pay their last tribute to the dead. EXCURSIONS. Almas Temple, Mystic Shrine, will make a pilgrimage to Marshall Hall, August 18.

Remarkable Incident Saturday at Hills¢ le, With Double Fatality. One of the most remarkable affairs of the kind sver known, and believed to be with- out precedent in this vicinity, occurred Sat urday afterncon—twe aged women of Hill dale, who were near neighbors and intimate friends of many years’ standing, dropping dead at the same moment. The t-vo-horse wagon of the Anacostia Feed Company, which had been to Con- gress Heights to deliver some goods, was returning to Anacostia, and Edward Fer- guson, aged twenty-five, and Leonard Dix- on, aged twenty, were riding upon it, the former being the driver. Shortly after leaving the top of the steep hill, the horses became frightened and ran away. At the bottom of the grade the wagon was over- turned and the men thrown off. A report was at once started that the men were killed, and the rumor reached the ears of Mrs. Harriet Ferguson, mother of Edward, and Mrs. Sarah Dixon, mother of Leonard, each of whom was about sev- enty years old, both of whom saw the team running down’ the hill, and each receiving the news which afterward proved to be false, dropped dead. Neither of the men Was at all injured, though how they es- caped was almost miraculous. The coroner was notified of the deaths, but an inquest Was not deemed necessary. > Trustees’ sale of building lots on Tennes- see avenue and on 3d street between B sireet and Lincoln Square northeast. takes place tomorrow afternoon at 6 o'clock.
