Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street, Alexandria, Va.,. February 4, 1897. The case of Wiiliam Arrington and John Hendersen, the two young mea charged with robbing the book store of Mr. Robert W. French on the 13th of November last, occupied the attention of the corporation court all day yesterday. After The Star's report closed yesterday, City Sergt. Smith teok the stand, and he described how he recovered the stolen goods at Jackson City, where Harry Candler had taken them. He was positive that Candler was not, out of the jail on the night of the robbery. I know, he said, that Candler has been al- lowed more priviteges at the jail than is usvally allowed prisoners, but it was be- cause he has been of great benefit to me in detecting prisoners ~ttempting to break jail. Besides, at one time he saved the life of one of my guerds, against whom a plot had been made to murder. Guards Hayes and McCuen testified to the fact that Cand- ler was rot out of the jail on the night of the robbery, and that he had never been out but twice, and then with Sheriff Palmer. Policeman Banner T. Young was the last witness for the prosecution,. He said that on the night of the robbery he saw the prisoners in front of Mr. French's stcre a short while before the -obbery was supposed to have been committed. The defense then put about a dozen wit- nesses on the stand to prove that Harry Candler, the principal witness for the commonwealth, who was at that time sup- posed to be “doing time” at the jail, was out on the night of the robbery, and if a felony had been committed that he, and not the prisoners, was the guilty man. Both prisoners took the stand in their own behalf. They denied the statements made sy Candler in toto. Arguments were then begun, ond it was 7 o'clock when the case was g’ven to the jury, which, after being out two hours, returned a verdict of guilty, and fixed their punishment at six months in the city jail and a fine of $20. Rothechild-Schwarts Nuptials. Mr. Harry Rothschild of Washington and Miss Fannie Schwartz of this city were married at Odd Fellows’ Hall late yester- day afternoon by Rev. Dr. Stern of Wash- ington. The bride's gown was of white satin and she carried an elegant bunch of bride roses.A reception was held atOdd Fellows’ Hall after the ceremony and a bridal supper served. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schwartz and Mr. and Mrs. Charles De Young of Philadelphia, Mr. and Mrs. Jones Hienaman of Baltimore, Mr. Rosen- feil of Reading, Fa.; Mr. and Mrs. Jean Bacher of Philadelphia, Mr. and Mrs. Eu- Schwab of New York, Mr. and Mrs. sstus Wallerstein of Washington, D. Mrs. Nachman of Baltimore, Mr. ‘and Rothschild, Mr. and Mrs. Bensinger, rasburger, Mr. and Mrs. Cron- Mr: Mr. Myer heimer and Mrs. Stern of Washington, and Mr. and Mrs. Max Fischer, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Eichberg, Miss Eichberg, Mr. Louis Eichberg, Mr. Isador Brown, Mr. David Brown, Mr. Samuel Schwartz, Mayor Thompson, Dr. ‘Bedford Brown and others of this city. The young couple left for a northern trip today. Liquor Cases Dismissed. Richard Burnett and William Brauner were before Mayor Thompson in the police court last night upon the charge of selling liquor without a license. The prisoners were represented by Mr. John H. Green. There was only one witness for the prose- cution present. His name was Charles Page, who said that he had bought whisky from the accused upon several occasions. The prisoners denied this statement, and as it was one man’s word against another the case was dismissed, with the under- standing that if additional evidence was secured the prisoners would be rearrested. Gallty of Petty Larceny. Richard Pines, Garfield and Romeo Es- sex and Henrietta Pines, all colored, were before Mayor Thompson this morning upon the charge of stealing $20 from Moses Ste- vens. It appears that Stevens was count- ing out some money on the street, when a $20 bill dropped to the ground, and the boys grabbed it and ran, and afterward spent it. They were fined $10 each, in de- fault of which they went to jail for twenty day Choir Meeting. The annual meeting of the choir of St. Mary's Catholic Church was held in the parsonage of that church last night. After the meeting Rev. Father Bowler gave a supper to the members as a mark of ap- preciation for their services during the past year. . Corporation Court Adjourned. Owing to the absence of Judge J. K. M. Norton, who has gone to Norfolk on legal business, there was no session of the cor- poration court today. and the sessions will not be resumed until Monday, when the case of Ernest Travers, indicted for grand larceny, will be disposed of. Quarterly Meeting. The quarterly meeting services of the Methodist Church will be held tomorrow and Saturday, and will be continued over Sunday. General and Personal Notes. Rev. A. A. Pruden and bride are the guests of Mr. C. J. Deahl, on South Wash- ington street. Col. L. C. Bailey left last night for Nor- folk on legal business. The “cracker tea” at Grace Church last night was quite a success. Much interest is being taken in the new gymnasium of the Brotherhood of St. An- drew, and the “gym.” is crowded nightly with young athletes. City Sergeant Smith requested yesterday that an investigation be made of the con- dition of affairs at the city jail. Numbers of fish are being caught in Hunting creek by men who cut holes in the fee. During the month of January the clerk of the corporation court recorded 52 deeds and issued 19 marriage licenses. Mr. Wm. B. Corse has sold to Mr. Justus Schneider a lot on Columbus street between Oronoco and Princess streets. Mr. Schneider will build three houses on the lot in the spring. Mr. L. D. Doneldson reported at police headquarters this morning that an open- face gold watch had been stolen from him, and requested the police to keep a sharp lookout for it. ——.__. Faneral of Gi Fague. The funeral of the late Gilman Marston Fagve, who committed suicide yesterday morring by shooting himself, as published in yesterday's Star, will take place to- morrow from his late residence, on K street. Members of B. B. French Lodge of Masons will probably have charge of the funeral arrangements. The deceased, it is said, carried a heavy life insurance. ee Single Taxers Were Auditors. The members of the local Single Tax Club were entertained last evening at Typo- graphical Temple by Dr. Mary Morrison, who presented a thoughtful paper upon “The Relation of the Single Tax to Wo- men’s Reform Movements,” and Mr. Ralph Beaumont, formerly general lecturer of the K. of L., who described the relations of the Pacific railways to the government, and narrated their history. ges eit Virginia Association Bazaar. The bazaar at Green's Hall, for the pur- pose of aiding the Virginia Republican As- sociation in purchasing uniforms for the inaugural parade, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Auxiliary Club, continued last night with a large patronege.

Jones, Col. P. H. Carson, Rev. J. A. Taylor and F. D. Lee. The Mc- Kinley Quartet will render fine selections. The Monumenial Orchestra will furnish. music. Speeches Made—Officers Elected for the Ensuing Year. The sons of Old Harvard gathered at the Shoreham last night on the occasion of the annual dinner of the Washington Harvard Club, and, after an exceltent bill of fare kad been discussed, there were bright, wit- ty and in some cases really eloquent speeches made and college songs were sung with great gusto. The years rolled back and men whose heads were silvered with the streaks of time forgot the cares of busi- ness and professional life, and for the time being were boys again. General good fel- lowship prevailed, and it was voted by all that it was one of the best dinners that they had ever eaten, and one of the most enjoyable reunions in the history of the club. The attendance was not as large as last year, when about seventy-five were present, but then last year President Eliot was here, and that was a big attraction. Last night there were about forty gathered at the three tables, and one notable feature was the number of young men, who had but recently left the fold of their alma mater, and were enthusiastic in her praise, but for that matter there was the stanchest loyalty to Harvard manifested in every speech and in every song. The Speech-Making. When the venerable president, Judge Ed- ward Lander, who graduated in the class of ’25, rapped to order, with the arrival of the coffee and cigars, every one was in good humor, and listened attentively to his interesting references to the age of the college, which was founded in 1636, and to the Indians cducated there in those early days, of whom, however, but one was grad- uated. The judge closed by saying that, although the college was nearly 300 vears old, she was still “Fair Harvard” to all her sons and to all the world. Gen. Geo. S. Batcheller made a humorous speech that enlivened the occasion. His proposition to endow a chair of ‘‘Pseudol- ogy” was very cleverly put. Rev. Dr. J. Macbride Sterrett spoke eloquently of the religious interests at Harvard, and said that the opinion that Harvard was not.a safe place to send young men was wholly unfounded. He quoted statistics to prove what the university is today doing in be- half of religious influence upon the stu- dents, and of the excellent result of these efforts. Mr. Frank W. Hackett spoke entertain- ingly of the old times at Cambridge when he was a student, and alluded to the “po- lice system" that used to be the fashion in his day, but which had now given way to a much better method of carrying on instruc- tien. Prof. Clarke said that the nil admirari tone of Harvard needed some correction. He believed in enthusiasm, and he would have the Harvard man do away with that tendency to repress the manifestation of feeling that so much characterizes him. Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt, the new pas- tor of All Souls’ Church, made a very favorable impression by a bright and cheery talk, in which, while there was much to amuse, there was also much food for seri- ous thought. One of the most interesting speeches was that of Rev. Father Aiken of the Catholic University, who said he was proud of his alma “mater for the broadening influence that her education gives. He thought that a man who went through the course at Harvard had a broader idea of his reia- tions to man and his relations to God than the graduate of almost any other universi- ty. Professor Wiley touched on a variety of subjects, and always in a pleasing man- ner. Mr. Chas. C. Binney spoke feelingly of the death of ex-Governor Russell of Mas- sachusetts, to whose memory he paid a high tribute, saying that he was a noble speciment of Harvard's training. He told an incident that illustrated the unselfish character of the late governor. Mr. R. Ross Perry, jr., said some pleasant words in behalf of the “kids” at the lower end of the table, and testified to their loyalty to their alma mater. All these speeches were interspersed with college songs, which were sung with enthusiasm and excellent effect, and the evening closed with the singing of “Fair Harvard” and ‘Auld Lang Syne.” The committee that had charge of the arrangements for the dinner consisted of Dr. Franklin T. Howe, Mr. Chas. C. Bin- ney and Mr. Chas. Moore. The Business Meeting. Previous to the dinner there was a busi- ness meeting of the club, at which the following officers for the ensuing year were elected: Edward Lander, president; Frank W. Hackett, C. E. Munroe, Wm. A. Day, Charles Moore, R. Ross Perry, vice presidents; J. Macbride Sterrett, secre- tary; Pickering Dodge, treasurer. | - The following were also elected to mem- bership in the club: Gen. Nelson A. Miles, United States army; Rev. Edwin B. Lea- vitt, Fred G. Read, Dr. J. Walker Fewcke, Rev. P. M. Rhinelander, Rev. Chas. J. Wood and Rev. Chas.

Nicolsona general marager of the canal, and Paymmster Pearre, have recently completed astrip on horseback over the entire canal, from this place to Cumberland, on a-tour of inspection and investigation. From the statement of Mr. Nicelson everything was found to “be in excellent condition, the canal being in gocd shape and suffering in no wise from the traffic of the past season. All indi- cations point to the waterway remaining in condition until the opening of the pres- ent season. All of the water has been drawn off, and unless there is extra high water in the Potomac no breaks are ex- pected. The working order of the water- way is also excellent, and as soon as the weather permits the water will be turned on and the sezson opened. It is expected that traffic will be resumed within a month or six weeks. During the past season the tonnage of the canal has been greater than cver. In all over 364,000 tons of coal have been car- ried, an increase of over 52,000 tons of the previous year. This is in addition to the other material that was shipped over the waterway. It is cxpected that the figures of the coming season will be even more favorable. A large quantity of coal has already been sold, which will aave to come down, 2 1 the advance sales 2re a pretty sure indication of the amount of traffic. Mr. Nicolson is of the opinion that the tonnage this year will exceed that of the season recently closed. Shooting at a Fugitive. There was shooting galore in Georgetown last evening, and the residents in the east- ern section of the place were kept in won- derment. The whole cause was an un- successful chase after a burglar. The would-be thief was a negro, and attempted to rob the store of Conrad Arabin, at 30th and O streets. He secured admission Ly getting in the rear of the store, through a double door on a lot facing the south, and finding a partition with the door locked on the inside blocking his way he crawled over the large ice chest, and knocked away a ‘part of the partition, dropping on the floor of the store, and immediately pro- ceeding to tap the cash machi Pollce- man Fennelly happened to see him at work, and tried to get access to -he build- ing, but without success. ‘The negro took the aiarm, dashed out the way he came, jumped over several fences and came cut on © street with the policeman behind. Several shots from a revolver only accel- erated his speed, and the robber escaped. Later in the evening he was again seen and pursued and shot at, but without suc- cess. Donations for the Poor. Several donations were received at the station house yesterday for the relief of the poor. Mr. Nordlinger and Mr. Theo- dore Barnes sent a quantity of groceries and other stuff; while some clothing was received from other sources. The dona- tions, however, have: dropped off very short. The pound party for the benefit of the poor, given under the auspices of the Grace P. E. Church, qpened this afternoon at 4 o'clock with every promise of suc- cess. Donations will! be recelved until 8 o'clock this evening, and the goods imme- diately distributed where they will do the most good. The residents of Tehleytown are making preparations ‘to hold -an entertainment for the benefit of the poor of that section. The Weather ifor January. The meteorological summary for the month of January, from observations taken by Prof. M. F. Burrows, at. Brace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M streets, shows that the weather was not as severe as: was thought. Tite mpan temperature for the month was 20.5 degrees, the’maximum tem- perature being 64 degrees, ocdurring on the 4th. The minimum temperature was 6 degrees above zero, occurring on the 26th and 31st, giving a monthly range of tem- perature of 58 degrees. The total monthly rainfall, including melted snow and hail, 7 inches, while the total snowfall was 7.3 inches. The average daily rainfall was 6-100 of an inch, and there were 11 days upon which 1-100 of an inch of rain or snow fell. There were eleven clear days, nine fair ones and eleven cloudy days. The prevailing direction of the wind was from the northwest. Frost appeared on seven days, and there were three days upon which hail occurred. Suspected of Policy, William Hunter, white, an old soldier, and William Douglass, colored, were ar- rested yesterday by Policeman Brown and Watson on a charge of promoting policy. When searched at the station house several old newspapers with numbers on the edges were found on Hunter. The two men are suspected of being the runners for several ‘policy places in the District, and this morn- ing both were taken to the Police Court to answer to the charge. Notes. Thomas R.

Resolations Adopted at a Meeting Last Night—A Real Estate Deal is Charged. A mass meeting was held in South Wash- ington last evening in St. Paul’s A. M. E. Church, in response to a call by the South Washington Citizens’ Association. A vigor- ous protest was made against the proposed tearing down of the Anthony Bowen School building, ‘at the corner of 9th and D streets southwest, after the construction of a new building in the neighborhood of 3d and K streets. President George Newman of the South Washington Citizens’ Association presided, and those who occupied seats on the plat- form were Col. Perry Carson, Dr. C. H. Childs, Dr. L. Mircheaux, Rev. G. H. Hunter, Mr. R. H. Gunnell, Mr. P. H. Brooks, Dr. L. Collins and Mr. J. D. Jar- vis. Mr. Newman stated that the meeting was not an indignation meeting, but was simply a meeting of protest. It was, he said, proposed to transfer the Anthony Bowen School to a location farther down toward the river, in a malarial-infested region. The Anthony Bowen School was the only colored school in a large area, and should not be moved. Resolutions Adopted. A committee to draft suitable resolutions was appointed by the presiding officer, as follows: Rev. W. H. Hunter, J. F. N. Wil- kinson, Dr. C. W. Childs, R. H. Beverly, George Newman, Joseph Thompson, R. H. Gunnell and J. W. Butcher. The following were reported and unan- imously adopted: Whereas, the Anthony Bowen School building was erected twenty-nine years ago, and is now sadly in need of repairs; and, Whereas, Congress at its last session ap- propriated $30,000 for the purchase of ‘“‘ad- ditional ground and reconstructing An- thony Bowen School building; and, Whereas, the trustee of public schools representing the fourth division is now agitating its removal without assigning any valid reason fur such aciion; and, Whereas, by act of Congress of the United States, approved May 21, 1832, “that 10 per centum of the amount received from taxes levied on the real and personal prop- erty in the cities of Washington and Georgetown, in the District of Columbia, owred by persons of color, shall be ap- propriated for the purpose of initiating a system of primary schools for the educa- tion of colored children residing in said cities and, Whereas, the Anthony Bowen School building was erected out of this school fund, as set aside by law; therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the said Anthony Bowen School building shovld not be used for any other than senool purposes for the col- ored children; therefore, Be it resolved by the parents of children attending Anthony Bowen School building, That we hereny respectfully, but earnestly, petition the honorable Comm ssioners of the District of Columb! to make the im- provements to said building, in accordance with the appropriation made by Congress at its last session, an] at as early day as possible. Resolved, That this petition be presented to the honorable Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and such other action be iaken in furtherance of our object as cir- cumstances may requ A Real Estate Deal Charged. Mr. Newman charged that the removal of the school was part of a real estate deal, and for the purpose of enhancing value of property when the colored school was removed. Dr. C. W. Childs spoke of the unhealth- fulness of thé section to which it was pro- posed to move the school, and Rev. G. H. Hunter, pastor of the church, said the Anthony Bowen School was the first pub- lic school for colored people erected in the District“of Columbia, and he did not want to have it demolished. ‘The following committee was appointed to present the resolutions to the Commis- sioners: Perry Carson, Robert Gunnell, Dr. Childs, Rev. G. H. Hunter, George Ne: man, J. F. N. Wilkerson, R. H. Beverly, Joseph Thompson, J. W. Butcher, D. Jar- vis, D. Murray, Joseph Manning, and Dr. Mircheaux. meee tS Awarded Damages.

Dur- ing the first week the daily aggregate of garbage has seldom exceeded fifty tons, while the capacity of the plant is regarded by the contractors to be at least 100 tons. Monday of this week the collections amount- ed to fifty-eight tons, the largest received any dey since the fires were started. Day before yesterday, owing to a change in coal, there was for a time a check in the work of the furnace. The coal used is what is known as gas coal, and it is thoroughly effective in its work. Getting out of gas coal, another grade of soft coal, fine and dusty, was procured, with the result that it nearly put out the fires.
