OTHER LOCAL NOTES Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King St., Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 6, 1897. The first meeting of the city democratic committee since the national campaign was held in the gas office, city hall, last night, with all the members present. As soon as the meeting was called to order Mr. J. T. Sweeney, who has for some time past been chairman of the committee, tendered his resignation on accqunt of its interfering largely with his business engagements. He ‘was strongly urged by all present to recon- sider his determination, but could not be prevailed upon to do so. His resignation as chairman, he said, carried with it resig- nation as a member of the committee, and Mr. C. J. W. Summers of the fourth ward was clected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Gar- ner L. Boothe, a prominent attorney, and the youngest member of the committee, was elected chairman by a unanimous vote. Mr. Boothe took the chair and stated that he was ready for business. On mo- tion it was decided to have another meeting, of the committee in the board of aldermen chamber Wednesday night, at which all the candidates be present for the purpose of fixing a date for holding the primary elec- tion. It was decided that it would be best for a majority of the candidates to fix the date of the primary rather than for the committee to do so. All went smcothly until this point was reached, and it looked Uke a harmonious meeting, but the bomb was thrown when Mr. R. T. Cook introduced @ resolution that all known democrats and all white voters wno would pledge them- selves to support the nominee be allowed to participate in the primary, but this did not sult Mr. W. B. Doble, so he introduced an amendment to the effect that no man who failed to vote for Bryan and Sewall at the fall election be allowed to have his name on the ticket in the primary election. This caused a storm, especially so, as it could be seen at a glance that the only op- position Mr. Dobie has in his candidac: for te boara of aldermen is Mr. N. P. urke, who, it is said, did not Burke support Mr. Frank Penn of the third ward second- ed the amendment and voted for it, despite the fact that he voted for Dr. Johnson, the independent candidate, for mayor, against Capt. K. Kemper, the regu- Jar democratic nominee. Mr. Penn, when accused of this last night by Mr. Hubert Snowden, did not deny it. The amendment caused a great deal of discussion, and every effort was made by the conservative members of the committee to defeat the amendment, but it was carried, Messrs. Dobie, Penn, Wikins'and Price voting for it, and Messrs. Boothe, Carter and Cook against it. Thescommittee then adjourned to meet Wednesday night. After the meeting there was a perfect outburst of indignation, such well-known democrats as M: B. Harlow, Hubert Snow- den, E. F. Price and a host of others de- ploring the action as a fatal mistake. Mr. Penn, who seconded the motion, was final- ly persuaded to ask for a reconsideration of the amendmentj and ‘it will in all proba- bility be changed at the meeting Wednes- day night. Good democrais say that to keep any one out of the primary, and especially those members of the party who do not agree with the’ free ‘silver plank in the Chicago platform, would be very disastrous to the party and would tear it limb from limb. | Harmony is what is needed, they say, if they would carry the town. it has been ninted that the action of some of the members of the committee was taken to help a certain set to get into con? trol. Should the action of the committee last night stand the gold democrats and republicans would undoubtedly put an in- dependent ticket in the field. Reception to Bryan. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska will pay Alexandria a visit tonight, and be given a public reception at the Opera Hovse by the citizens. Mr. Bryan will be the guest of Mr. George Drewry during his stay. A meeting of prominent citizens was held last night and all the arrange- ments for the reception were complcted. Mr. Bryan will reach the city about 5 o'clock this afternoon and go straight to Mr. Drewry’s residence. At 7:30 o'clock a committee, composed of the following gen- tlemen, will escort Mr. Bryan to the Opera House, where he will make a brief address: J. F. Rixey, G. A. Mushbach, W. H. May, L. H. Thompson, M. B. Harlow, J*rancis L. Smith, Henry Strauss, J. W. May, F. E. Anderson, J. M. Johnson, J. R. Caton, J. H. Stride: U. H. Machen, N. Lindsey, 8. H. Lunt, C. M. Cuvillier, Frank Spinks, J.

Price, R. W. Mocre, Jos. E. Willard,L. Marbury and Wm. H. F. Beckham, chief of The Even- ing Star bureau. After the address Mr. Bryan will hold a reception, and all pres- ent will be given an opportunity to meet this knight of free silver. Confederate Veterans Meet. At the meeting of R. E.

An interesting experiment has been made at Kansas City with the Krag-Jorgensen rifle to ascertain the effect of its bullets on human bones. The test was made un- der the direction of Dr. J. D. Griffeth, ex- surgeon general of the Missouri state mi- litia. It has been the belief of army offi- cers and military surgeons that the 30- caliber steel-jacketed bulletwhich the Krag- Jorgensen rifle shoots would either kill a soldier instantly or leave a wound which would enable him to fight on without knowing for a long time that he had been injured. This theory has apparently been dissipat- ed. A human head and several lower limbs of human cadavers were used. The tar- gets were placed in front of a high em- bankment. Dr. W. T. Stark and General Milton Moore of the state militia were the sharpshooters. The shooting began at a range of 5) yards, and over 200 rounds were fired at various distances. One of the first bullets fired struck the head just above the nose at a range of 500 yards. The skull was shattered as if it had been an egg shell, and the bullet buried itsels in the embankment, where it was dug out later as bright and perfect as when it was placed in the rifle. Other bullets pierced the skull and_splinte the bone in radiating lines. The bi also tore the bones of the legs into ers. According to the opinion of those pres- ent, the test showed that at any distance under 1,000 yards the rifle throws a mis- sile which rends human flesh, disintegrates human organs and tears and shatters hu- man bones into fragments. Beyond 1,000 yards—and the gun will carry three miles and kill—the bullet bores a small round hole through bone or tissue. Dr. Griffeth will prepare the shattered bones for exhibition, and will make a re- port of the tests to the National Associa- tion of Military Surgeons, of which he is a member. The report will be forwarded to the War Department. ——____+ e+ _____ Unlawful to Kiss on the Street. The penalty for making love in public in New York is $5. It was so decided by Mag- istrate Mott in the Center Street police court yesterday. Eugene F. Looran, a member of the fire department, was ar- 1aigned by Policeman Houry, charged with @isorderly conduct, the specific complaint being that the gallant fire laddie had hugged and kissed a young woman on the street, the caresses being graciously received. The lovemaking occurred last Friday night in the shadow of the elevated tracks, and it was developed in court that inasmuch as the fireman is on duty almost continuously he is unable to call upon his sweetheart. Instead she is compelled to receive his company on the sidewalk. When Police- man Houry espied th uple he procured @ lighted candle and le upon the lovers. ‘The magistrate ended the case by imposing the fine. t- Bequests to Harvard. The wills of Miss Eliza A.

The admirals of the foreign fleets in Cre- tan waters continue daily asking for defi- nite instructions from their respective gov- ernments. They have urgently advised the appointment of a European governor, as they are incapable of ruling the island. Col. Vassos and the Greeks inspire the greatest sympathy among all the foreign correspondents, the futile measures of the powers being daily denounced. Mr. Gladstone has written another letter on Cretan affairs and with reference to the concert of Europe. He says the atti- tude of the powers recalls the days of Cas- tlereagh and Metternich, when Greece was unable to buy arguments in Europe on credit, while Turkey had no difficulty what- ever in doing so. It is etated that Greece will try to raise an internal loan of £1,000,000. The reports that Greek insurgents have already crossed the Macedonian frontier turn out to be incorrect. A well-informed diplomat at Vienna de- clares that some of the powers are deter- mined to maintain the blockade of Greece if that nation declares war, and thus de- prive her of one of her most formidable means of attack. A report from Athens says that a son of Admiral Harris, the British commander in Cretan waters, has arrived there as a vol- unteer.
