Johnston’s, 729 7th St. Woodward THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1897-12 PAGES. ‘. Lothrop, 1oth, <ith and F Sts. N. W. Our present business hours are 8:15 to 5:30 Friday’s Our Remnant Day. The plans of this store are the result of most careful thought and de- liberation. A fixed purpose, closely followed, strictly adhered to, per- vades every department. This purpose is to offer five days (Of each week complete assortments of fresh, bright, up-to-date merchandise at the lowest prices, reserving one day, Friday, for the clearance of remnants— broken lines and sizes, odds and ends, short lengths, left overs. And these “left overs” are ofttimes from the choicest goods of the various lines—the quickest sellers. It isn’t the goodness of the article, however, but its poorness as merchandise (because of littleness or loneliness) that regulates the price. Shorter the length, smaller the quantity—greater the price reduction. Remnants accumulate very rapidly, and we cannot push them aside or pile them up. Hence to make the quickest possible clear- ance prices are made half and less. Friday Bargains in Many rare bargains for tomorrow. China Department.

Local Notes of Interest From Dewn the River Told in Brief Paragraphs. ~ Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington St., (Telephone 116.) ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 11, 1807. It is now a séttled fact that Second Lieut. Albert Bryan will be elected captain of the Alexandria Light Infantry to succeed Capt. George A. Mushbach, who has asked to be put on the retired list. First Leut. Sam- vel L. Monroe has received a letter from Col. William Nolle of the 3d° Regiment, Virg-nia ,Volunteers, to which the Alex- ardria Light Infantry is attached, ask- ing him to reconsider his determina- tion to resign, but Lieutenant Monroe has replied that it will be impossible for him to do so, as his duties as a revenue officer will not admit of his giving the necessary attention to military matters. A prominent member of the Light Infantry, in conversation with a Star reporter last night,said that Lieut. Bryan's election was assured and that it would take place as soon as the papers of Captain Mushbach and Lieut. Monroe have been acted upon. “And,” he said, “you can just bet Bryan will make a crack captein; he is a splen- did officer and excellent disciplinarian, and will at once put the company on a No. 1 military footing. You can look for as good a company under ‘Captain’ Bryan as the state has even seen.” Lieutenant Bryan has been connected with the Light Infantry for a number of years, and since he has been second lieu- tenant has shown that he is every inch a military man. He is a very popular officer, and all the members of the company with whom The Star reporter has talked are very glad to be able to offer him the promotion he so justly deserves, as they say they see full well that he will make a company out of what now remains of the former crack company of the state. The offices of first and second Heutenant will be filled at the same meeting, and in all probability First Sergt. Marbury will be elected first and Sergt. Green second lieutenant, though tais has not been definitely settled. Alexan- drians are looking forward with interest to the reorganization of the company. It is hardly probable now that the com- pany will be gotten in shape for the in- auguration ceremonies of President-elect McKinley, though an effort will be made to do so. Ellis Day WII Recover. Contrary to all expectations, Ellis Day, the negro man who was s0 seriously stab- bed Tuesday night last by Tim Henderson, a full account of which appeared in yester- day’s Star, will recover. A Star reporter called at the Alexandria Irfirmary this morning to see Day, but was told that he was asleep. The matron stated that the wounded man’s condition was greatly improved, as Dr. Purvis had finally succeeded in stopping the flow of bleod, and that now, unless something un- foreseen happens, the wounded man would certainly recover. Tim. Henderson, the negro man who committed the assault on Day, was sent to jail yesterday morning, as stated in The Star’s story. If Day's condition is such that he is able to appear, Henderson will be given a preliminary ex. amination before Mayor Thompson on Feb- ruary 19. Badly Burned. Shortly after 7 o’clogk last night a negro tramp giving his name as William Butler went.to police headquarters and asked for accommedations and -treatment. Butler had been badly burned about the arms and body. He said that he came from Charles county, Md.,’ and while, tramping to this city he had stopped over jon the road and made a fire to keep warm. He was awak- ened by the heat during the night only to finil hirrself in flames. He’ rushed through’ thé woods to a creek and jumped in to put the fire out, not, however, before he had been severely burned. As there are no special accommodations for such cases the man was allowed to sleep in the cell room, and this morning went to Washington, where he will make an effort to get into a hospital. A Pleasant Entertainment. The benefit last night to Harry Kramer, an Alexandria boy, the champion trick bicycle rider of the world, was a great suc- cess. The entertainment consisted of the local talent of this city and Washington. Among those who took part were Gordon Phillips, the Leorada Quartet, consisting of Nalls, Monroe, Smith and Evans; Hall Brothers of this city and Master Charles Spoesser and Miss Susie Humphries, fancy dancing; Sol. Goldsmith and others of Washington. Mr. Kramer kept the audi- ence almost spellbound while he executed some of the most difficult feats on his wheel ever seen in this city. Small Fire Last Night. Last night shortly after 10 o'clock a fire broke out in the residence of Captain Isaac Force, No. 505 Wolfe street, but it was gotten under control quickly and a serious conflagration averted. ‘The fire originated from a gas jet that melted the connection at the meter, which allowed the full flow of gas to become ignited. The dense smoke awakened those who were asleep in the adjoining houses. The entire department turned out, but only one engine went into service. Criminal Docket Cleared. With the conclusion of the Clark trial yesterday the criminal docket of the cor- poration court was cleared up, and there are now no prisoners awaiting trial. Some of the cases tried during the term have been hanging fire since last April. There is now one prisoner in the jafl awaiting the Aoril session of the grand jury, Ernest Wilson, charged with housebreaking. Tim Hender- son, cherged with assaulting Ellis Day, will also be sent cn to the grand jury as soon as Day 1s able to appear against him, Another “Hold ep.” Another of those ‘‘hold-ups” that are be-. coming of almost daily occurrence occurred again last night. Mr. Eugene Rogers,while on his way to his home on Fayette street, was approached by two tramps, who made @ desperate attempt to relieve him of his watch. Mr. Rogers gave an alarm, which scared the men off before they were suc- cessful, however. Death of Mrs. Mary McCarthy. Mrs. Mary McCarthy, wife of Mr. Fior- ence McCarthy, died yestefday at her home on South Lee street, after a long illness, She was a consistent njember of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and a kimd and affection- ate wife and mother and leaves a large cir- cle of friends who wil régret to learn of her death. =~ . e Good Templgr Officers. Golden Light Lodge, Good Templars, has elected the following gfficprs: C. T., John H. Trimyer; V. T., Miss Annie M. Lucas; secretary, Charles R. Herbert; F. 8., John H. Bartlett; treasurer, J.

Sequel of the Recent Effort te Break Up Policy Gambling. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street, one No. 116. ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 11, 1897. ‘Walter Donnelly, who was sentenced to sixty days In jail, with a fine of $250, by Mayor Thompson, January 19, was today pardoned by Gov. O’Ferrall. The action has caused A great deal of surprise in the community. This morning City Sergeant Smith, who has charge of the jail, received communication from the governor saying: “Greeting: Whereas in a police court held in and for the city of Alexandria, in the month of January, in the year 1897, Walter Donnelly was convicted of dealing in pelicy, and was thereupon sentenced to be imprisoned in the city jail for the term of sixty days, and fined $250, and where- as, it appears to the executive that he is a fit subject for clemency, therefore I, Charles T. O'Ferrall, governor of the com- ‘monwealth of Virginia, have, by virtue of authority vested in me, pardoned and do hereby pardon the said Walter Donnelly, and do order that he be discharged from imprisonment, bet not until he or some ene for him shall pay In full the fine of $259 imposed by the mayor of the city of Alexandria, together with the costs of the Prosecution.” City Sergeant Smith immediately notified Donneliy’s attorney, who arranged about the payment of the fine, when they went to the jail, and shortly after 9 o'clock Don- nelly was again a free man. This action on the part of Gov. O'Ferrall has caused much criticism, and especially SO because, as it is understood, the com- monwealth’s attorney. who convicted Don- nelly, was not consulted on the subject. Do.anelly was the first man convicted in this city under a commonwealth statute since the recent determination of some of the authorities to break up gambling and ther vicious practices in Alexandria. A Star reporter called at police headquarters this morning for information on the sub- ject, but could not learn anything. Subse- quently Mayor Thompson was seen, but he was rather noncommunicative on the subject. He did say that the pardon had been granted Donnelly on account of his physical condition, and he showed the Star reporter a letter from Dr. G. T. Klipstein, Donnelly’s physician, stating ‘that Don- nelly’s condition was very bad: that he was highly nervous, suffered very much with insomnia and had eaten but little since he came to the jail. “Did Gov. O'Ferrall consult you on the subject cf Donnelly’s pardon?” asked the reporter. "Y “Did you recommend the pardon?” “I can’t answer that question one way or the other; it was an official matter.” It is learned that a petition, accompanied by a certificate from Dr. Wm. Gibson and Dr. Geo. T. Klipstein, was presented to Gov. O'Ferrall by Rev. Father Cutler, for:nerly rector of St. Mary’s Roman Cath- olic Church in this city, but now vicar gen- eral under Bishop Vandeviver at Rich- mond, together with Delegate Harwood of Richmond. This certificate is said to have been to the effect that Donnelly’s life would be in jeopardy by further confinement in jail. When the Star reporter called on Common- wealth’s Attorney Marbury he knew abso- lutely nothing of the affair other than what was told him by Mr. S. G. Brent, Donneily’s attorney. He had never beea consulted by Mayor Thompson or Gov. O’Ferrali as to his recommendation, though he represented the commonwealth when Donnelly was prosecuted. Donnelly had been in jail just twenty-one days. Mayor Thompson says he paid the fine and has promised not to have anything to do with policy in the future. A report of the raid in which Donnelly was captured was published at length in The Star at the time. Sergt. Smith per- sonally raided Donnelly’s place and cap- tured Walter Donnelly on the premises, AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. a Youthfal Burglar—Doings in the Churches. There was a diminutive burglar brought to the station house last evening shortly before midnight by Policemen Pratt and Ccnnors. The would-be robber gave his name as Thomas Johnson, and his age as eleven years, and he was given a berth in a cell over night, going to the Police Court this morning in the “Maria.” The youth was discovered in the home of Fan- nie Carter, between M and N, 27th and 28th streets, last night about 11 o'clock. Little as he was he endeavored to hide beneath a table when he was discovered by the woman of the house and handed over to the police to be locked up on the serious charge of housebreaking at night. The Congress Street Church Festival. The ladies of the Congress Street M. P. Church inaugurated a three-day supper and festival last evening. The scene of the enterprise was in the lecture room of the church, and the opening last even- ing was very successful. The place was Prettily decorated and brightly tlumi- nated. A large number of the ladies of the church are assisting in the under- taking. The proceeds of the affair will be applied to the church fund, and from the outlook last evening the supper and fes- tival promises to be an excellent success. The affair continues this evening, and will clcse tomorrow evening. Returned to His Home. Harry Sohl of 1058 Potomac street was arrested yesterday in Baltimore, with four other companions, on suspicion of being fugitives from their homes. The Balti- mere authorities notified the Washington Police, who in turn notified the parents of young Sohl. The young man had sud- denly disappeared from home, and his capture afforded gratification to his par- ents, They secured a ticket for his return to the city, and the episode is expected to curb the youth's desire to see the world. Im the Churches. The regular mid-week prayer meeting will be held this evening at the West Street Presbyterian Church. During the course of the evening the pastor, Rev. Dr. Alexander, will deliver one of his interest- ing lectures. The revival services which have been in Iacgress all of the week at the Dumbarion Avenue M. E.

Newcomb of . Louis finds herself “a new woman” in the best seuse of the word. An invalid woman is always a sad sight—sadder even than that of an invalid man, because of her greater capacity for suffering. Neuralgia, backaches, its of depression and by aches compel her to think or work with lalf her brain, while the other half throbs as if it would go to picces. There are no more striking ex: ples of the great, practical value of Paine’s compound than are beard from the lips of women who have been made well. Its ability to relieve those ills that seem to be Pecullarly the misfortune of women is overwhelm- ingly proven by innumerable testimonials frv women of the highest standing in the communities where they live. having so few miles of asphalt and so many of them. of block paving, and the horsemen of that city not having as yet learned how to shoe and drive their horses in this advanced age. New York has al- ways considered herself the most advanced city of the country in everything, but her horsemen and citizens in general would open their eyes if they were to come to Washington oftener. If they would only duplicate our miles of smooth and clean pavements, and dco away with their old- fashioned, dirty and noisy biock pavements, her citizens would not heat so much of the hue and cry from a few of old-time horse owners. I have tried rubber shoes on a number of horses, and found them very successful im preventing slipping. Let New York horsemen who cannot keep their horses up shoe them properly, aud I am sure they will not complain about smooth pavements. It is an acknowledged fact that we have the best-paved streets In the United States, and if people of other cities who enjoy fine driving would use their influence and copy our methods there would be no question about the large soap = the country being n and healthy.

F. S. Williams, the druggist at the corner of 9th and F streets, was this morning de- clared the winner of a contest started dur- ing the campaign last fall by George W. Spier, the jeweler at 310 9th street, for the first correct guess of the electoral vote for President. Mr. Williams guessed that M) Kinley would receive 271 votes and Bryan 176. His guess was made October 31 las’ As a reward for his fortunate forecasting Mr. Williams will receive the Rogers grou) entitled “Politics,” which is now being ex- hibited in Mr. Spier’s window on 9th street just above the avenue. The award was made by a committee, consisting of Messrs. W. H. Keyworth, Sebastian Aman and Otto Wehner. There were about 1,500 or 2,000 answers to the problem submitted in the competi- tion, but Mr. Williams’ is the only correct He figured out with exactness the total number of votes each candidate si cured in the electoral college, but in arri ing at this conclusion he made a few «1 rors. For instance, he put the ten votes of Kansas in the McKinley column, as well as the four of South Dakota. On the other hand, he surmised that all of Ken- tucky’s votes would be cast for Bryan, and those also of North Dakota. Then he included all nine of California's votes for McKinley, whereas one was cast for Bryan. But these errors exactly countei balanced one another, and the total re- sults counted up to the correct figure: E. Ward of 625 2d street northe came second in the contest, figuring votes for McKinley to 175 for Bryan. The third nearest correct solution was submit- ted by W. G. Collins of The Evening Star's composing force, who calculated McKin- a total as 273 votes and his opponent's 74. j The weekly meeting of the monetery con- ference of Woods’ Commercial College was held in the college hal! Tuesday evening. One of the most interesting features was a lecture by Dr. E. Olin Eldridge, pastor of Waugh M. E. Church, whose subject was “Winning Forces in Manhood.”. The regu- lar program of music, recitations, ete., was well rendered by local talent. Music was furnished by Miss Callisher, Miss McDo' aid and Mr. Hartley, vocal solos by Mr. Oates and Mr. Gillman, and recitations Miss Helen Day, Miss Bessie Duvall and Miss Daisy E.
