HEADQUARTERS HAPPENINGS — Chairman Bell was early at inaugural headquarters this morning, and consulted with a number of callers over the. inlaug- uration preliminaries. His mail, while voluminous, contained nothing of general public interest. He expressed himself as well pleased with the progress being made in the work. He was called away early on important private business. A great many visitors miss seeing Mr. Bell by calling be- tween 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The inaugural chairman is not at headquarters during this period, his hours being from 9:30 to 11 am., and from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The an- nouncement of the test of the acoustics of the pension court which will be made by the 2d Regiment Band has been the in- spiration for numberless requests from per- sons who desire to be present, but there will be no one present save the executive and music committees. Coming to the Ceremonies. The Hell Gate Republican Club of New York city will bring 200 members, dressed in Hght drab overcoats, with light fedora hats, with canes and gloves to match. They will be accompanied by a band of sixteen pieces, Senator Perkins has notified Chairman Warner of the civic committee that the Republican Alliance Club of California, the best-drilled political organization in the state, expects to attend the inauguration. J.F. Roberts of Snickersville, Va., has re- qu€sted permission for a club of 250 mem- bers to participate in the procession. Judge John G. Long of the executive com- mittee has handed the civic committee a letter from J. L. Moore, general manager of the Florida Colored Traffic Association, stating that a large number of colored Floridians will come to Washington If they are assured that extortionate prices tor accommodations are not charged. Chairman Wright reported today that a colcred regiment from Chicago had made inquiries about coming to Washington in March. A party of visitors is also coming from Coronado Beach. Notes of the Day. Alexander Grant has been made vice chairman of the committee on public com- fort at the ball room, the executive com- mittee of which comprises H. P. Springer, J. Edwin Wilson, M. T. Anderson, Joseph M. McCoy and Charles R. Parker. In the list of the reception committee given out at headquarters yesterday ihe title of Chief Justice Nott of the United States Court of Claims was inadvertently omitted and the name of Col. Henry F. Blount was given as Henry E. Blount. Secretary George C. Lewis of the civic committee has sent out over 700 letters of inqviry to the clubs and associations which have indicated 2 probability of participat- ing in the parade, to mayors of cities and preminent men throughout the country. The committee on parks and reservations will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Subscriptions to the Fund Continue. Chairman John W. Thompson of the finance committee at a meeting of that body held last night announced that the total amount contributed to the guarantee fund was $53,143. It was decided not to call in the subscription books because a number of business men desired to con- tribute to the fund. The subscriptions re- ported last night were as follows: Previously acknowledged. Columbia Railroad Company. Allen C. Clark. Dr. J. B. Miller W. Riley Deeble.. J. William McKinley. Dorsey Clagett... John F. Cook. Total ... In giving out the list of subscribers to the fund announced December 28 the fol- lowing names were accidentally omitted: John W. Ross... George E. Hamilton. Gude Brothers Harris & Shafer. Samuel Bieber. W. C. Duval R. T. Warwick. F. B. McGuire. George W. Coc! Decorations and Comfort Room. at Ball The committee on decorations at the ball room met at the Arlington Hotel last night and discussed informally the general sub- Ject which the body has under its charge. Chairman Roessle stated that he had re- ceived notices from deccrators in various large cities announcing they would bid for the work. It was decided to furnish pho- tographs of the interior of the pension building to prospective bidders, although it is highly probable that all those who answer the advertisements will send their special artists to examine the structure in person. lt was decided that all plans and specifications for the decorations must be submitted to the ccmmittee on or before January 15. The committee on public comfort at the ball room also met last night and Chair- man James E. Bell presided. Mr. C. Fred Cook was unanimously elected secretary cf the committee, and an executive com- mittee was appointed to attend to all the duties of the whole committee until March 3, to which time an adjournment was had. It was decided to make arrangements for the accommodation of the personal be- longings of at least a thousand more peo- ple than formerly. ——————— Veteran Association. The Washington Light Infantry Veteran Association held its regular monthly meet- ing last night in the officers’ room at the armory. At the conclusion of the business session the committee of arrangements took charge and presented a fine literary and musical program, which was thor- oughly enjoyed by the members and a large 1umber of invited guests. The several se- lections rendered by Mr. Eugene Coffin on the saxaphone were exceptionally fine. The gem of the evening was the song “Twenty Years Ago,” by Capt. John Miller. Mr. Chas. Skerritt sang the “Lost Chord.” Banjo, guitar and violin solos and duets, by Messrs. Beckert, Clements and Vanmeyer and comic songs by Mr. Harry Shackelford were — rendered. The committee had provided a supply of refreshments and smokers’ goods, and everybody was bidden to partake freely. At midnight the com- pany sang “America,” and closed the evening’s entertainment with the toast, “To our departed veterans,” which was drunk in silence. At the meeting in February the annual election of officers will be held, re- ports of officers received, and the usual monthly camp fire will follow the business session. ——__ Used a Glass. Last night about 10:40 o'clock at No. 1739 E street northwest a policeman and phy- sician were wanted. The screams heard in the house were loud enough to have indi- cated the commission of a murder. But as it turned out only a scalp wound had been inflicted, and the victim was a man named Robert Allen. His alleged assailant was a THE yQFFICIAL EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., WEATHER MAP. Partly Cloudy © Covey @ Pains B Snow ith meridian time.

Rapid Progress of the Work of Lay- = : ing Conduits. Since the granting of their permit a few days ago the Potomac Electric Light and Power Company has been working at a great rate laying conduits and erecting poles for street illumination, and connect- ing the same with the wires that have. been already laid. In a very short space of time the laborers of the corporation have madé the connections with almost every new pole that has been erected, snd. within the next fortnight it is expected’ that the company will be ready to turn oh the’ current for illuminating purposes, while the lights now in use will be turned oyt.. The contract of the new company is already overlapped, due to the delay of ‘the matter in the courts, and as scon ad‘the home company completes all arrangements they can start in on their contracts. ‘Their new poles, erected opposite the ‘present lights, are slightly shorter and more ornamental. While the work of excavating is now in progress, the company’ is improving the time by making a nuntber of underground connections with many'of the business houses of this section @f'the city. A sep- arate conduit is now being laid up 31st street, to end in front-of the post office. The conduits which haverheretofare end2d at the M street bridge have been extended, and now -ongss over inte ,Washington and go stright cut Matreet.. For some time at Jeast this will be the main conduit of the company leading into Washington. Only one arrest was made yesterday at the seventh precinct police, station, and up to noon today the blotter was clean. The warm weather of the past few days has had a bad effect upon the skating, the ice having rotted and melted almost en- trely. It is reported that most of the roads lead- ing into Georgetown are in a miserable condition just at present, being a mass of mud and water in most instances. ——__ ‘he McKinley and Hobart Carnival.

Railroad Bills, Mr. Frank Hume, representing the rail- road committee of the board of trade, had @ conference with Commissioner Powell this morning upon the subject of pending railroad bills, now before the Commission- ers for report. Special reference was made to the McMillan bill for the abol- ishment of grade crossings in South Wash- ington. Commissioner Powell informed him that the plans of the Commissioners and the report to accompany them were weli under way and would be sent to Con- gress within a short time. Saved the Leary. Harbor Master Sutton has received a complimentary letter from the president of the National Steamboat Company, thanking the crew of the police boat for the efficient services rendered its boat the George Leary lest Saturday. ‘The boat had almost sunk when the police boat Joe Blackburn pulled alongside and success- fully pumped her out. But for the timely assistance of the police boat, President Key says, the boat would have been de- stroyed. Naval Militia. Late yesterday afternoon the Commis- sicners faverably reported the bill having in view the formation of a naval militia battalion as an adjusct to the National Guard. The report of the Commissioners is extensive aud goes into the merits of the measure at length. Reference is made io the reports of the Secretary of the Navy and the President upon the subject of naval militia. In couclusion the Commissioners say: “The practicability of such an organi tion in the District of Columbia is dent when attentionis directed to the fa- cilities at hand. The Potomac river and Chesapeake bay present ample sea room for drill and maneuvering, while the navy yard and its gun equipment offer an ex- ceptional opportunity for instruction in modern heavy ordnance. The District likewise presents a good field from which to select the personnel of such an organiza- tion. A large number of ex-naval officers are found in the government departments, while in the navy yard and on the water front can be found hundreds of men ready to’join such a movement who would read- ily develop into an effective naval force.” VISIT TO LU LU TEMPLE. Many Mystic Shriners Will Accom- pany the Imperial Potentate. Imperial Potentate Harrison Dingman, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, -vill go to Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon to pay an official visit to Lu Lu Temple of that city. A large number of members of Almas Temple of this city will accompany him to tne city of brotherly love in order to see that he gets there safely. The indications are, from reports received from Philadelphia, that the im- perial potentate will be elevated io a new and original degree,as elaborate illuminated notices have been issued by Lu Lu Temple declaring that not a thing would be done unto him. The train will leave from the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 3 o'clock p.m. tomorrow, and Mr. Harry Standiford, po- tentate of Almas Temple, will have charge of the party. —_e.—__ Hotel Arrivals.

ASKED TO SETTLE Baltimore and Ohio's Liability to the : Ohio Central. LARGE SUM OF RENTAL ARREARAGES Creditors of the Ohio Road Press Their Claim. CONFERENCE YESTERDAY Se A conference was held in Baltimore yes- terday between a committee representing the directors of the Central Ohio Railroad Company and the receivers of the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company relative to the collection by the first-named com- pany of a large sum of money aggregat- ing several hundreds of: thousands of dol- lars alleged to be due that corporation as rental from the Baltimore and Ohio, which has been the lessee for more than thirty years. The consensus of opinion on the part of the committee was that the default of payment of the Baltimore and Ohio's obli- gations to the Central Ohio ought to stop at once, and it is believed that the re- ceivers will be abie to make arrangements which will be in every, way satisfactory to the owners of the property. The conference of yesterday was the out- growth of a meetirg held Saturday by the stockholders also in Baltimore, at which there were present a number of capitalists who are large holders of the securities of the Central Ohio, and after a full. and free interchange of views on the situation, resolutions were passed declaring -“that the interests of the stockholders of the Central Ohio Railroad Company impera- tively demand an immediate settlement cf the indebtedness now due from the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company and from its receivers: also requesting the di- rectors of the Central Ohlo Railroad Com- pany to take measures to collect said in- debtedness without delay.” Settlement Requested. At the meeting of the directors, held yes- terday, the above resolutions were read, and a resolution, of which the following is a copy, adopted: “Resolved, That a committee of three members of the board shall be appointed by the president to act with him as a com- mittee, to call upon the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and to request of them an early settlement of the rental due to the Central Ohio Rail- road Company, since their receivership, the same being 35 per cent of the gross re- ceipts, which for this period are estimated to be about $1,000,000, and to report to the board of directors as soon as possible the result of their negotiations.” Important Piece of Rond. 2 Thet an agreement which will be satis- factory to all the interested parties will be reached in a short time can hardly be doubted, as, apart from the admitted jus- lice of the claim, the property owned by the Central Ohio Railroad Company is in- dispensable to the operations of the Bal- timore and Ohio company. The Central Ohio railroad, which has been the Balti- more and Ohio's sole line between the Ohio river and Columbus for more than thirty years, and has been operated under a iease since 1866, extend: lumbus, via Zane is a most important, y vital, link in the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio to Chicago. : The Baltimore and Ohio, by the terms of the lease, agreed to pay the Central Ohio, by way of rental, 35 per cent of the gross receipts of the road, besides keeping up the roadbed, furnishing rolling stock, ete. since its reorga Ohio has been, it is said, a most prosperous property. For many years it paid 6 per cent dividends both on its common and preferred stocks, and previous to 1886 paid aunualiy a considerable sum into a sinking fund. The Amount Due. Since 1886 the sinking fund has been dis- eéntinued, and during the administration of President Mayer the rental in excess of 6 per cent dividends on the stock was, it is said, withheld by the Baltimore and Ohio. The amounts thus withheld have, it is claimed, during recent years, averaged about $100,000, and the debt of the Balti- more and Ohio to the Central Ohio at the ume of ihe receivership was in the neigh- borhood of $700,000, not including the in- terest. Mr. Cowen’s Explanation. Receiver Cowen said today to a Star re- porter in Baltimore that the directors of the Central Ohio and the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio, at the conference yes- terday afternoon, discussed the whole mat- ter thoroughly, and the former were satis- fied with the explanations made by the re- ceivers. Continuing, Mr. Cowen said the receivers of the Baitimore and Ohio, under the orders of the court, take the gross re- ceipts of the Central Ohio railroad, pay the operating expenses and the interest on the mortgage bonds, and when any balance may be left, they will pay that to the Cen- tral Ohio Railroad Company. The receiv- ers, under the orders of the court, cannot take money earned upon other portions of the road and use it for the benefit of the Central Ohio. Under the terms of the lease, the payment of a fixed rental of 35 per cent of the gross earnings of the Cen- tral was required. After paying operafag expenses and fixed charges, the balance was insufficient to make such a payment. —— Fire at Mr. Foster's. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock fire broke out in the residence of ex-Secretary John W. Foster, 1405 I street. The flames started in the room of a man servant in the second floor of the ‘back building, pre- sumably from a lighted gas burner coming in contact with the bureau. The fire depart- ment responded quickly and the fire was confined to the one room. The contents of that room were pretty well destroyed. Mrs. Foster’s weekly reception was in progress at the time, and the arrival of the fire en- gines caused considerable excitement for a time. —_——__—_ For Divorce. Sarah E.
