The Norfolk will be used ~¢o transport the five hundred sailors picked from the Raleigh, New York, Indiana and Columbia, under command of Capt. J. W. Sands of the Columbia. These men will be fed on the boat, receiving breakfast on arrival and supper just before returning Thursday evening, when they leave the city. The Norfolk and Washington Com- pany will not send a boat down the river tomorrow night.” The steamer Harry Randall will make a speciai trip, taking in the lower river land- ings as far down as Nomini, and will reach Washington Wednesday evening. The steamer T. V. Arrowsmith will make @ special trip from Smith's creek, leaving at 8 a.m., taking in all the river landings, and reaching Washington 6 a.m. March 4.

STALLINGS’ CHOICE OF THE PHILLIES a Progress of the'Billiard Tournament at Pittsburg. fig LATEST BASE BALL DEAL Two local sparrers fared badly at the meeting at the Spa Athletic Club near Highlands last night. Arthur Jones lost to Temmy Callahan of Philadelphia in a foul in the fifth round. Jones was repeat- edly cautioned against striking in a clinch, but seemed unable to refrain in his-excite- ment, and consequently lost the fight. Al- though Callahan had the best of the con- test on points, Jones would probably have won had it gone to a finish. The principal bout of the evening was between Jack Juth, said to be Martin Judge of Philadel- phia, and Howard Wilson, the local light weight champion. Juth proved to be much the better man, and won easily in the tenth round. He outclassed the local man in strength and skill and pounded him hard and often, and finally knocked him out completely. Both fights were fast and ex- citing, and aroused considerable enthu- siasm among the spectators. There were many Philadelphians in attendance. Mark Baldwin Wins Again. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 2.—A new trial in the damage suit of Mark Baldwin, the bese ball pitcher, against Christ Von der Ahe was refused yesterday. The verdict was $2,525 for the plaintiff on the second trial, When the case was first tried Bald- win was awarded $2,500. The action was for damages for false arrest. Von der Ahe had Baldwin arrested in St. Louis on a charge of conspiring to get “Silver” King, sea base. ball man, to leave the St. Louis club. Percy-Gray Law Sustained. ALBANY, N.Y., March 2.—The court of appeals has decided that the Percy-Gray racing law is constitutional, and that the methods of bookmaking allowed by the racing commission are in accordance with the law. The cases decided were the appeal of the people from dismissal of actions brcught against President Lawrence of the Westchester Racing Association and Joseph Sturges, a bookmaker. Harvard to Have an English Boat. Harvard's eight will take no chances against Yale and Cornell in the boat race to be held in June. The crew will use sev- eral boats, but the one that R. C. Lehman, Harvard’s coach, hopes to have Harvard win the race in will be an English craft built afte> his ideas. Mr. Lehman, when he went across, had in his pocket the plans and dimensions ofa boat just sulted for the Crimson crew. Clasper of Putney-on- the-Thames has buflt the boat. It will be sent over on the steamer with Mr. Lehman when he sails for this country this week. Mr. Lehman is expected at Harvard about March 12. i The Philadelphia Club.

The California supreme court has sus- tained the recently adopted civic ordinance prohibiting pool selling ard taking com- missions on racing bets. ‘The conviction of John Glynn, a local pool seller, fined $100 in the police court, under the civic ordi- nance, Was affirmed. Esper to Play With St. Louis. Ckarlle Esper will sign with St. Louis for the coming season. Chris Von Der Ahe as- serted that he had yever waived his claim to Esper’s services, and Manager Hanlon released the big left-hander to St. Louis. Tommy Dowd went to Philadelphia last night to close the contract. Hanlon had already received Connie Mack's check qn behalf of the Milwaukee team for Esper, but this is now off, as the priority of the St. Louis claim was estab- lished. The Pittsburg Tournament. The short-stop billiard tournament which was in progress in Pittsburg during the past week has created much interest among lovers of the cue. The games thus far played give the advantage to Catton, he having beaten Gallagher in the only match he played, while all the other contestants have lost at least one game. McLaughlin lost the first match to Magglioli and then defeated Spinks, who had beaten Sutton previously. Sutton beat Magglioll, and so did Gallagher. This makes Maggliol! the under man in the list, with the others all tie.

Local Notes of Gener: Interest to All C cerned. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street, Telephone 116. Alexandria, Va., March 2, 1897. As predicted exclusively in The Star, Sec- ond Lieut. Albert Bryan was last night unrrimously elected captain of the Alex- andria Light Infantry, Company F, 3d Regiment Virginia Volunteers, and First Sergt. Leonard Marbury was elected first leutenant by unanimous vote. The name of Lieut. Bryan was the only one put in nomination for the captaincy. Sergt. Mar- bury, who made the nomination, referred to the fact that Lieut. Bryan had enlisted in the company as a private, July 30, 1878, and had risen through the various posi- tions to the office of second lieutenant. He referred to the lieutenant as a gentleman of the highest standing, a soldier and thor- ough tactician, and an officer who has al- ways had the best interests of the com- pany at heart, “and,” said Sergt. Marbury, “I believe Lieut. Bryan is the right man for the place, and the best interests of the compary will be furthered by his election.” A committee of three was appointed to wait on Lieut. Bryan and notify him of his election to the captaincy. Capt. Bryan said: “Gentlemen, I know it is customary for cne elected io say it is a surprise, but this would not be true in my case, for the acticn of the company has been intimated to me. I am not a speaker, but I do want to say this much—l appreciate the high honor you have conferred upon -ne, I feel it the greatest honor to be elected captain of the Alexandria Light Infantry, and I want to add that as captain of the com- pany I expect to command it. When we meet in the street we are equal in every respect, but when we enter the armory in uniform it is different, and I shall expect and demand to be treated as your com- manding officer. It is the greatest compli- ment of my life to be elected captain of a company that is excelled by none in the state and equaled by few—again, gentle- men, I thank you.” The election of Capt. Bryan gives general satisfaction, not alone to the members of the company, but to the community at large, who take a great deal of interest in the organization, and it is believed that the company will shortly resume its old- time position at the head of the state mi- litla, The election of Sergt. Marbury to succeed First Lieut. Monroe is a deserved Promotion, and Lieut. Marbury will be an able assistant to Capt. Bryan. Much to the surprise of all who had as- sembled, no election of second leutenant could be had. There was a deadlock for nineteen ballots, and an adjournment had to be taken until next Monday night at 8 o'clock. There were four candidates in the fleld—Sergt. Atkinson, Corp, J. J. Green, Corp. Robinson and Private Ballenger. Sergi. Atkinson was the choice of the ma- jority present at the meeting, but at no time could elther of the candfdates receive the required number (forty votes) to elect, and they seesawed for nineteen ballots. The friends of the candidates were deter- mined not to budge an inch, and it could be seen that there was no use in remaining later. As it was, an adjournment was not secured until midnight. The friends of the candidates will work hard this week to se- cure the necessary forty votes to elect, and the outcome is looked for with inter- ext. A Large Increase in Weddings in February. The clerk of the ccrporation court for the month of February recorded forty-two deeds and issued seventy-two marriage licenses—sixtcen to white and fifty-six to colored perscns. This is the largest num- ber of marriage licenses ever granted in this city during one month. This large in- crease is due, however, to the many ar- rests recently made by the police of men and women who were living unlawfully, and wo were released with the promise that they would get married. _ Police Court. The only case to be disposed of at the po- lice court this morning was that of Isaac Hackley and Tim Henderson, the two negro men arrested yesterday upon the charge of having assaulted and robbed Mr. Auburn Price Saturday night, a_full ac- count of which appeared in yesterday's Star. Owing to the condition of Mr. Price, who still Mes in a critical state, the men were committed to jail for further exam- ination. Corporation Court.
