Pretty Wedding—Train Service Im- provements—Local Notes of General Interest. Evening Star Burcau, 0 121 North Washington st ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 25, The Alexandria county court adjourned yesterday afternoon for the term after being in session but a few hours, and the case of John Clark, charged with permit- ting gembling on his premises, the “White House,” at Rosslyn, which was appealed frem Justice Supplee, who fined him $250 and ninety days in jail, will not come up again until the February term, which opens the fourth Monday of that month. The Clark case was to have come up yester- day, but «wing to the absence of several important witnesses had to be postponed. Judge W. E. Lipscombe of Prince William held court for Judge Chichester, who was confined to his home at Fairfax Court House with sickn2ss. Judge Lipscombe was given quite a knotty question to decide by the attorneys in the Clark case. The question arose as to whethe Judge L. D. Yarrell, the Alexan- dria ounty Citizens’ Law and Order League attorney, had a right to assist In the prosecution of Clark without the con- seat of the commonwealth’s attorney. Commonwealth's Attorney Johnson put the question, and in a few remarks upheld his position. Judge Yarrell answered him in a forecful manner, stating his employ- ment Ly the Citizens’ League, how he had issued a number of warrants against the gamblers, and how “not guilty” had been promptly entered up in each case. How the only case he had been allowed to prose- cute the prisoner had been found guilty. Then came the amusing spectacle of Mr. Samuel G. Brent, Clark's attorney, making a touching appeal to the court in the inter- est of Little “Dicky,” “the pigmy prose- cutor.” Mr. Brent spoke at Jength on the subject, and he was helped on by Mr. John H. Greene, another of Clark’s attorneys. who occasionally interspersed suggestions which Mr. Brent acted on. Judge Yarrell answered him logically and clearly, and then Mr. Edmund Burke, attoru for Clark, who entered the case yesterday, took the floor in Johnson's behalf. Mr. burke made an able defense of the position tuken by Commonweaith’s Attorney Johnson in trying to keep Judge Yarrell from prose- cuting Clark. When the speakers had fin- ished and asked Judge Lipscomb for his decision, the judge wanted to know, first, Whether the case was ready for trial or not. After some little cross-iiring it was decided to continue the trial until lie next term of the court. “Then,” said Judge Lipscombe, “I will let the trial judge decide the point.” Had the trial judge decided the question against Judge Yarreil there hardly a doubt but that the case wi have been ready for trial and undoubtedly have been acquitt monwealth’s Attorney Johnsoi mitted that there was no evi Clark. This is said to be the only case on record where a public prosecutor not glad to have all the assistance possible in prose- cuting vice and iniquity, but then, Alex- andria county is not like other places, A Very Pretty Wedding. As stated in yesterday's Star, Miss Ida Bernhetmer became the bride of Mr. Julius Wolf, a popular young merchant of this + The wedding took place in Odd Fel- Hall, on North Columbus. street, h had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. The bride was dressed in a gown of white satin, and her veil was be- comingly arranged over a wreath of white orange blossoms. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Schneeberge: of McUullough Street Tabernacle, Balti- more. After the marriage an elaborate and reception was held in the hall. Train Service. - E. McCarthy, trainmaster of the Southern Railway Company, has notified the Business Men’s League of this cit that the . as Com- rtually ad- e against accommodations between Ale: andria and Washington and Ohio junction on the Southern railway wovld be im- very shortly. The coach used for nsporting passengers for some time past is in a horrible condition and hardly fit for a cattle car. There has been a great deal of complaint about the miserable condition of the passenger accommodations between this city and the junction, where Alexan- drians are compelled to take the trains for Round Hill, Leesburg and other points on sed over the fact that of Southern railroad officials are repeatedly broken, and if improved ac. commodations are given they only last. until the complaint ceases, and then go back to the same poor service. The passenger shed at the Washington and Ohio depot is in a dilapidated condition and totally in- adequate for the protection of passengers taking and arriving from these trains. It is hoped that a determined effort will be made by the Business Men's League to see that the citizens of Alexandria, who bulit this road, und who use it frequently in conducting their business, are justly treat- ed. Since the Southern railroad has been running its trains direct to Washington Alexandrians have been very poorly ac- commodated in their travels over the line. rt ted for the Poor. The suffering and want among the des- titute in this city continues to an alarming extent and the charitable organizations ask for more st pplies to relieve the great neces- sity. Any contributions left at The Even- ing Star bureau wil! be placed in proper hands for distribution, and will be greatly helpful in relieving the situation. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Frank Baltimore and Benj.

Changes That Are Suggested in the Measure Which Passed the House. The subcommittee of the Senate commit- tee on the District of Columbia will to- morrow morning make a report to the full commitiee on the Morse bill for the regula- tion of the liquor traffic in the District of Columbia. The report of the subcommit- tee will doubtless be adopted, and com- prise the report of the bill made to the Senate. The changes made in existing law by the bill in the form in which it will be Placed before the committee on the District of Columbia follow: There is a provision “that said sales by the maker, brewer or distiller thereof shail be made only to a person licensed under the provisions of this act.” The decisions of the excise board ar made final only “as to facts,” and it Is vided that “questions of law may be appealed to the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia either by the applicant or by any contestant of record, provided a justice of said court shall, after examina- tion of the record, consider that the excise board erred on stion of law in grant- ing or refusing nse, and allow an ap- peal: Provided, That such appeal shail taken within twenty days, and that the a) Plicant, if he or she had a liquor license the preceding license year, may continue business pending the appeal Signing of Licenses.

He Goes to Discass Matters of Policy With Major McKinley. The Chicago Times-Herald says that Ly- man J. Gage left last night for Cantor, Ohio. The Chicago banker went in answer to a telegram from President-elect. MeKin- jey, asking him to come to Canton. Hay- ing made 2 diplomatic tender of the sec- retaryship of the treasury to the Chi- vagoan, says the Times-Herald, Mr. Me- Kinley naturally wishes to discuss with him matters of policy. It is known that Mr. Gage has been mak- ing arrangements to close up his affairs in Chicago in order to be free to take a posi- tion in the President's cabinet. 1t will be necessary for him to relinguish ell con- nection with the First National Bank, and it was a matter of common knowledge about the bank yesterday that he had be- gun to shape his business to retire from that institution to go to Washington. Mr. Gage left at 11:30 o'clock. “TheZe is nothing to be said about my trip except that I am going down to Can- ton to have a talk with Major McKinley in response to an invitation from him,” said Mr. Gage just before leaving fcr Con- ton. “The matter is still open, and Major Mc- Kinley ts still as free as the day »fter election to select any one he chooses for Secretary of the Treasury. He has asked me to talk over matters with him; that's all. It is his duty to act cauliousiy and to convince himself he is not making a mistake. “No, L will not talk about my views upon public subjects at this time. eek al eet Eckington Road’s Antiqac Furniture. To the Editor of The Evening Star: While waiting for a connection between the air linc and trolley branch of the Eck- ington and Soldiers’ Home railroad this morning at the New York and Florida ave- rue junction, I endeavored to kill time by taking an account of the antique furniture in the movable waiting station ancho: on wheels at that point for the accommo- dation aud amusement of the patrons of the lise, and the following is a partial Mist of the rare old curios which the siation contained: Two pairs of swingle trees, two drivers’ seats, two old stools, one pair of traces, a piece of trolley wire several feet in length, two pairs of hames, one brake handie, a half dozen oil lamps, one coupling tron, two feet long, and several other pieces of bric-a-brac. All that wes needed, apparently. to com- plete the historical old collection with which the station was ornamented was an etching of ye ancient horse, a group picture of the management of the road and a copy of a joint resolution.
