Local Notes of General and Especial Iuterest to All Concerned Told in Brief. % Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington St., Alexandria, Va., January 29, 1897. The intense cold of the past forty-eight hours has greatly increased the suffering among the poor and destitute of this city, and an effort such as has never been made before has been put on foot to relieve every case possible, but there is still the sad handicap of lack of funds with which to meet the wants of the sufferers. The charitable organizations of the vari- ous churches are making special efforts to relieve all the suffering they find, but they, teo, are handicapped by lack of funds, pro- visions and clothing. They ask that any- thing be given. No clothes or wearing apparel of any kind, they say, would be use- less, but, on the contrary, they say every- thing sent in could be used to great advantage, and would relieve some poor suf- ferer. The Evening Star Bureau in Alex- andria stands ready to receive and receipt for any moneys, clothing and provisions, which will be turned over to the proper authorities for judicious distribution. A free soup house, such as has been opened here during past winters, where the poor can get a bucket of soup and loaf of bread, has been suggested, and it is hoped will be acted on at once. A bow! of hot soup is always strengthening and heating, and would be a Godsend to those who have not even a morsel of bread or a cold potato. No effort, however, will be spared to relieve the suffering and destitu- tion as far as it is in the power of those having the matter at heart. Corporation Court. The trial of Ruth Carroll, charged with infanticide, was begun in the corporation court this morning, as was also the trial of John Triplett, for perjury. > Albert Yarboe, charged with housebreak- ing, and John, alias “Lunch,” Johnson, charged with attempting to kill Officer 4yles, will be tried in the corporation court tomorrow. F. T. Linney was sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary in the corpora- tion court yesterday, and John Cronin to six months in jail, with $50 fine, on the charge of highway robbery. These two men, with Thomas Murray, who escaped from jail, attempted to hold up several persons on the streets of Alex- andria, and were arrested by Lieutenant Smith and Officer Atkinson. Linney was the principal in the case and was assisted by Murray, who since made his escape. Cc. B. U. Banquet.

The entire fire department responded to the call, but did not go into service. Drunk and Disorderly. Some little excitement was caused at the Royal street station of the electric road by two young men from Washington, who were drunk and very disorderly. Mr. J. E. King, the ticket agent, telephoned for an officer, and Policeman Beach responded. ‘The men were put under arrest and taken to the police headquarters by Officer Beach, where they gave their names as William Holland 2nd Chauncey Depew, jr.

A splendid program had been ar- ranged and was greatly enjoyed by the large crowd present. The condition of Mrs. who has been quite sick at her home on North Washington street, is unchanged. A few sleighs were out last night and today, but the weather was too cold to en- joy the sport. << J. T. Beckham, é —_.>---— ALTGELD ‘AND MORTON. = Both of Them Scored in the House Yesterday. ‘The House passed the Indian appropriation bill yesterday, and entered upon the consid- eration of the agricultural appropriation bill, but all interest in these two measures was Illinois were called forth by the latter's speech last week, in which he charged that Mr. Bryan had been defeated by fraud, and based his charge particularly on the enor- mous increase of the vote in Ohio, where he alleged 90,000 votes were illegally cast. Mr. Grosvenor was very personal in his al- lusions to Mr. Altgeld, laying at his door much grave responsibility for the result of the election. He declared that an appeal on the stump against Altgeldism never failed to arouse the populece where all else failed. He then analyzed the Ohio vote, and explained the causes of its increase, calling attention to the fact that the democratic vote had increased proportionately much more than the republicans. Mr. De Armond replied very briefly to Mr. Grosvenor, but it was his subsequent attack on Secretary Morton which created the sensation. Mr. De Armond is a demo- crat, an ardent advocate of silver, and, therefore, his attack on a democ ic cabi- net official, who has been most active on the gold side of the controversy, excited less surprise than it “otherwise would have done. —_—_= = SENATE CONFIRMATIONS. Among Them Was Mr. Forman as In- ternal Revenue Commissioner. The friends of W. 8S. Forman had no difficulty in securing his confirmation as internal revenue commissioner yesterday. The discussion did not continue more than an hour, and the vote on confirmation was 41 to 15 in Mr. Forman’s favor. Speeches favorable to confirmation were made by Senators Cullom, Palmer and Hale, and in opposition by Senators Chandler, Jones of Arkansas, Berry and Stewart. ‘A number of postmasters’ appointments were acted on, and the following were con- firmed. by the Senate: Frank Dyer Cheszcr ef assachusetts, to be consul at Buda Pesth, Hungary; W. 8.
