The acting secretary of the treasury has transmitted to the Senate a letter from ALEXANDRIA AF.FAIRS Mr. Hill Gives Himself Up and the Charge Dismissed Local Notes of General Interest to Al Parties Concerned—Told in Brief Paragraphs. Mr. Frank M. Hill, an alleged proprietor of the policy shop known as the “Swamp, appeared at the station house this morn- ing, accompanied by his attorneys, Messrs. Samvel G. Brent and John H. Green, and gave himself up. He stated that he had heard that a warrant for his arrest was in the hands of the police, and that he desired a hearing. No witnesses were ex- amined. Mr. Hill's attorneys put in a plea of not guilty and a verdict dismissing the case was delivered by the court. Sergeant Smith, who has been handling these poll cases, stated to a Star reporter this morn- ing that although the warrant against Mr. Hill was sworn out several days ago, it Was never served, for the reason that he had as yet not obtained suftictent evidence to ccnvict Hill, and that he had with- drawn the warrant at the mayor's office this morning. Turner Jackson, cqlored, was also before the mayor upon the charge of writing policy, and he, too, was acquitted. Several witnesses testified, but thelr evidence was not sullicient te con viet. > George Pettit made application to the authorities for the printing press chase which was captured at the place alle to be Hill's when the raids were made Janvary 14.

The sale of lots at Arlington Heights, in Alexandria county, which was advertised to take place at the old county court house in this city yesterday, was postponed in- definitely for want of bidders. The funeral of the late Fields Cook, whose death was mentioned in yesterday's Star, will take place tomorrow afternoon from Ebenezer Baptist Church.

The Florence Crittenten meeting will be held at the Alfred Street Baptist Church Sunday evening at o'clock. The mec ing will be addressed by Mrs. Kate Bar- ret, national superintendent of the Flo ence Crittenton Mission, and the secretary, Mr. Morton. ag The Death of Miss Emily V. Billing. Amcrg the older teachers of this city few were better known than Miss Emily . Billing, who died recently at her home, 917 S street. In length of service she was prebably surpassed only by Mr. Strong John Thomson. Miss Billing was born in Washington and educated in the private schools of the Dis- trict. Her appointment as teacher in the public schools is dated March, 1850, and from that time, or until October, 1589, when her declining health forced ‘her io ab- was resign, she ranked as one of the leading teachers of what is now e second di- visicn. During the early ssions both boys and girls were under her care, but for mary years only girls were among her prpils. Many men and women of the city can recall the days when Miss Billing taught at Wth and E streets; at the Eighth Street Synagogue; at the old build- ing on Judiciary Square, west of the pres- ent persion othce; then on 5th street be- tween M and N sireets, in a building now occupied by the Central A. M. E. Church, and last in the Seaton School. In 1875 her pupils celebrated the twenty- fifth anniversary of her appointment, and the respect and affection in which she was held were shown not only by gifts of silver frem officials; fellow teachers and pupils, but in the grateful and loving words spoken on that occasion. “Miss Emily,” as all called her, carried into her work the enthusiasm of ‘a bright and cheerful nature, together with an un- usval degree of intelligence and painstak- ing. Her pupils can remember no harsh- ness, although their work was done thor- oughly—so thoroughly that under her teicking and that of Miss Lane, to whose grade Miss Jilling’s classes passed, the second district girls long stood in advance of all others. During the last year of her life Miss Billing’s health was feeble, but these were days %f rare patience and cheerfulness even when sight almost failed. Her Chris- an life was longer even than her term of teaching; for fifty-two years her name appeared cn_the rolls of the Methodist Protestant Church, and at the funeral service her former pastors, Rev. W. S. Hammond and Rev. David Wilson, united with the present pastor, Rev. 8. J. Smith, m payirg tribute to her memory. a Real Estate at Auction.
