Relics Visited by Crowds—Local Notes of Interest Told in Brief Paragraphs. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 3, 1897. Sunday in Alexandria was a quiet and peaceable day in decided contrast to the Sunday before, when small knots of people stood on the street corners discussing the sensation of the night before, when U0 drunken regroes had planned to wreak vengeance on the city for the sudden death of McCoy, the negro ravisher. Yesterday all Alexandria was church- going and in all the churches large con- gregations were assembled to hear ser- mons from resident rectors. At the Second Presbyterian Church Rev. J. Ernest Thacher, the new pastor, preach- ed both morning and evening for the first time, and his hearers were much pleased. His sermons were delivered with force, power and eloquence, and were filled with common sense practically applied. At the railroad reading rooms Rev. 8. A. Wallis, D.D., of the Virginia Theological Seminary preached in the large auditorium in the afternoon to a good sized congrega- tion. The Easter music was repeatel and much enjoyed. Rev. Henry Baker, D.D., of Washington preached @t Trinity M. E. Church last night. Council, Catholic Benevolent Union, held an interesting meeting yester- day afternoon. Beginning Wednesday a mission will be held in St. Mary’s Roman Cathoic Church for colored people. Hundreds of visitors from Washington came here yesterday, and went to the cor- ner of Cameron and Lee streets to view the lamp post to which McCoy was hanged. An enterprising advertising agent has al- most completely covered the post with signs. Visitors also went to police head- quarters to see the cell in which McCoy was locked when taken by the mob. Jailed for Sixty Day: Samuel Wheeler, colcred, a resident of “bloodfield,” tn Washington, was brought to the jail in this city by Constable James Gaines, to serve sixty days. Wheeler went ever to Rosslyn, In Alexandria county, and after filling up on bad whisky grossly mis- behaved in the presence of several ladies. He was arrested and taken before Justice Randolph Birch, who imposed a fine of $10, In default of payment the negro was com- mitted to jail. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Thompson disposed of the following cases: Lewis Carrington, charged with shooting a pistol within the city limits; fined $5, or twenty days on the chain gang. Fred. Newman, drunk and disorderly conduct; fined $5. Lewis Gordon, assault and be: ing Ellen Smith, both’ colored; fined Richerd Purcell, charged with assaulting Lizzie Loudon with a pistol; fined $20. Charles Loudon, charged with disorderly conduct; dismissed. Scott Butler and John Haskins, charged with disorderly conduct and fighting; fined $2.50 each, or fifteen days on the chain gang.

The corner stone of the new buildings of the John Hay Industrial School will be held at 3 p.m. with appropriate ceremonies. The cere- menies will be conducted by Harmony Ledge, I. O. O. F., No. 818, of this city, assisted by Grand Master H. L. Holmes, Past Grand Master James } Buckner, noble grand of Harmony Lodge. The Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, its subordinate lodges, councils and pa- triarchs have been invited and will take part. Addresses will be made by Rev. Alex. Truatt and other ministers. The building is being erected by Byrne & Simp- scn, and F. W. Clarke is the architect Henry Green Dead. Last night at 8 o’clock Mr. Henry Green, ene of Alexandria’s prominent citizens, died at his home on North Washington street. Mr. Green’s death was not un- expected, as he had been ill for some time past, and his friends felt that the end was soon to come. Mr. Green was much loved and highly respected by all who knew him. He was for a long time a member of the firm of E. E. Downham & Co., wholesale liquor merchants, but had to retire on account of ill health, His widow survives him. Snapped the Pistol. Some little excitement was caused yes- terday morning by a young man named Purcell getting “in his cups” and pointing a pistol in the face of Charles London and snapping it several times. No damage was done, and both parties were arrested. Among Colored People. The Colored Relief Society, which has been working among the needy colored poor, has ended its work for this spring. It j has the past winter and spring relieved 253 families, furnishing them with coal, wood, food and clothing. Its books show that Messrs. W. A. Smoot & Co., Geo. R. Hill, John W. Zimmerman, T. F. Gorman and others contributed to the society. ‘The fol- lowing are the re-elected officers: Wm. A. Carter, superintendent; Wm. Sadler, sec- retary; Wm. M. Hammond, treasurer; W. E. Johnson, inspector; Rev. Geo. O. Dixon, storekeeper. The colored Odd Fellows will hold their annual thanksgiving in the Aifred Street Baptist Church tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. P. N. F. Henry Sinner will be the orator. Rev. G¢o. O. Dixon will preach the annual sermon. A new summer resort will be opened for the colcred people at New Alexandria, to be known as Douglass Park. It adjoins the Mount Vernon Club. The following have been elected vestry officers of Meade Memorial Colored Bpis- copal Church: S. B. Burke, senior warden; Geo. Palmly, junior warden; Magnus L. Robinson, registrar; T. E. Dulany, treas- urer. The vestry will at its next meeting call a minister, the church having been closed for the past yeur. . W. Watson, the colored candidate for council honors in the fourth ward, hopes to be elected. His supporters say they ex- pect to defeat Mr. Geo. R. Hill, one of the citizens’ nominees in the late primary. It is said the policy people and the fourth ward bar rooms are inclined to give him support. Upon inquiry, it is found, how- ever, that Watson will not get the colored vote, as he expects, as some of the strong- est colored men in the ward look upon his candidacy as a “fake.” He has not, it is said, the indorsement of the regular repub- lican city committee, neither will he get it.

Va., to suc- Mr. D. K. Houck, resigned. It is reported that the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have practically promised the people of Martinsburg, W. Va., that much more work will be performed at the company’s shops in that city than has been the case for SUICIDE OF: PETER C. BURKE oa : Formerly a Law Studgit of Georgetown Uni- a “9 Found Dead iff His Room at the Hotel heise Bartholdi mm New York SY Peter C. Burke, a brother of a former Pastor of St. Apgustine’s Church, in this city, and a.graduate of the Georgetown University Law, School, committed suicide in the Hotel Bartholdi in New York city. Burke appeared at the hotel Thursday evening, and registered as from Philadel- phia. He had no baggage, and paid for one night only. The next day he asked the clerk to reserve the room for him. He ¢id “not: call for his room»again Friday night, and from that time was not seen gbout the hotel until his dead body was found yesterday. How he got into the apartments is unknown. From letters in the man’s possession, it was learned that Philadelphia was his home. Among Burke's effects was found a let- ter‘from a Philadetphia attorney. It stated that those who had formerly contributed to Burke's support had refused to do so longer, and that his wife had taken steps to secure a divorce. On the back of this letter Burke had written: No divorce. I will get it first. May God bless and aid you. I am about to end my life. Bury mé in Holy Cross. Come out some time and visit the sad spot where one who loved les. Rathef I would live here to be there and dead. Gaod-bue Alles: Early. yesterday morning a lawyer ar- rived from Philadelphia and took charge of the suicide’s effects Late in the af- ternoon his widow arrived. His body was conveyed to Philadelphia. Mr. Burke came here from Phiiadelphia, September 28, 1896. He had a letter from his -rother, recommending him to 8t. John’s College, where he desired to board, while he completed a post-graduate course in law at the Georgetown University. He was taken into the college and remained there until the 4th of last March. Durirg his stuy at the college it was understcod that his wife was in Europe, and when he left here it was to meet her in New York, where she landed on March 6.. He cid not return to Washington, and a ehort time after all his effects were sent to Philadelphia. While Burke was here the director of the college had no direct busiress connection with him, as his at- torney, Mr. Edward J. Alvedo of Phi delphia, paid all his bills and attended to his business affairs. It is said that Mrs. Burke is’ quite wealthy. Mins Beasie Stacey Leaves the City on Important Business. Miss Bessie Stacey, who is under indict- ment, charged with having purloined val- table jewelry from the store of Harris & Shafer some weeks ago, has left the city, accompanied by her mother. She 1s un- der bond to appear in the Criminal Court for trial when wanted, but this bond does not require that she shall remain in this jurisdiction. Consequently, her going has given ‘the officefs ofthe iaw no concern, Miss Stacey is only fifteen years old, so her friends claim, a}thorgh she looks several years older; and" because of her age, as well as for other reasons, ft is thought ‘she will not be prosecuted, although nothing deti- nile has yet bedn dofe in the case. Her going away, it ‘was stated this morning, was for the putposé of getting married. She had been engaged’ to an estimable citi- zen for some time, sé it was stated this morning, but for reascns best known to the family it was thought best that the marriage ceremohy should not be performed here. Mr. Campbell Carrington, the girl's counsel, contirméd the report of her mar- riage this moring. He said that Miss Stacey left here ‘withher mother the latter part Of last weék, atid while he has not heard from them, he feels certain that Miss Bessie is now married. Seen in Hyattsville. Miss Stacey wWas seen yesterday in Hy- attsville, and later, it is said, returned to this city, where in all probability she passed the night. If she ‘has left the city she went by a morning train. A rumor has been current that the case against Miss Stacey would be dropped, but inguiry this morning failed to confirm’ that fact. It is also rumored that a dry goods merchant has a charge ready to be placed against Miss Stacey should the present case fall. The case as it stands at present is in the hands of the authorities, and Messrs. Harris & Shafer, who are reported to have cropres the case, have no say in the mat- er, —_=__ HAVE SURRENDERED. Indicted in Chicago for Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses, President E. T. Gilman, Secretary Chas. H. Ccons and Manager O. N. Lumbert of the Natioral Capital Life Insurance Com- pany, recently indicted in Chicago for mailing a letter there September last for the alleged. purpove of obteining money under false pretenses, this morning volun- tarily ‘surrendered themselves here in Criminal Court No. 1, and, pending a hear- ing Thursday next, were admitted to bail. The bonds of Gilman and Lumbert were fixed at $1,000 each, and that of Coons at $000. Instead of giving the customary real estate security, the defendants deposited in court certified checks for the several amounts. Messrs. Alonzo Hart and Tracy L. Jef- fords, counsel for the defendants, stated to Chief Justice Bingham that they and C. F. Mosier of Elkhart, Ind., the president of the company which was merged into the present one, are really accused of no offense, the indictment, they claimed, be- ing the result of a business misunderstand- ing between the defendants and United States Marshal Arnold of Chicago. It was also stated that Mosier had no connection whatever with the matter, and that he Is now under treatment in a neighboring in- sene asylum. —— Evangelistic Meetings. A convention of evangelists, which is to continue for two weeks, will begin at the People's Tabernacle, 11th street between G and I streets southeast, Friday evening next. ‘The assembling cf the convention is due to the efforts of Miss Phoebe L, Hall, one of the Hall sisters, who have for a con- siderable period condicted evangelistic meetings with much success in the hall corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street northwest. ‘The principal speakers at the convention, so far as at present known, will be Rev. Dr, B. Carradine,’a member of the St. Louls (Mo.) conferenc@’ M?" B. Church, South; Revs. Seth C. and Huldah Rees of Provi- dence, R. I. While t8# two latter are well known in the eastern section of the country among church werkers, the first-named has held revival services in almost every state ard territory in,the ,Wnion, and it is said that there have been more converts under his:preaching than anf other evangelist ex- cept Mr. Moody?” a Invitations hawe been sent to all the Protestant minigters of this city and vicin- ity, requesting them tp attend the conven- ticn and participate fn the exercises, and it is expected that‘inany of them will accept. ‘The ‘Peopte's Tal cle, which is just being completed, andewhich has been al- ready described jn The Star, will be ded!- cated with approprigte services. Sunday next. faTR SY Gees Fight for Presidency. It is said that the re-election of Presi- dent John Echols to the chief office in the American Proiective Association will be strongly opposed at the annual meeting of the Supreme Council in this city next wesk. The trouble has arisen, it is said, cut of a suit by Mr.'A. J. Boyer, who sold the plant of the United American, a paper published by him, to Col. Echols, and who now a!- leges breach of coniract on Col, Echols’ part. At the trial of the case before Jus- tice Church Saturday judgment was ren- dered in favor of Col. Echols. Friends of Mr. Boyer say that he is dissatisfied with the present status of the affair, and will make his influence felt when the election for supreme president of the A. P. A. is held. On. the other hand, friends of Col. Echols express the belief that Mr. Boyer will not be able to seriously injure the can- vass of the former. 5 neh come ete The Cars Of Mankind! ‘The most horrible disease to which the human family is subject is contagious blood poison. It has always baffled the doctors, for notwithstanding the progress made in come branches of medicine, they have failed absolutely to discover a cure for it. Whether in the form of powder, pill or li the doctor’s prescription is always the same—pot ash or mercury. Mr. Otto H. Hlbert, who resides at the corner of 22d street and Avenue N., Galveston, Texas, had a severe experience with this dreadful dis- eare, and under date of April 5, 2806, writes: “Several years go I was so unfortunate as to -contract contagious blood poison, and was under treatment of the best physicians —contin- uovely for four years, As soon I dis- covered that I had the disease I hastened to place myself under the care of one of the fore- mest doctors in my state, and took his treatment faithfully for several monibs. It was a very short time after he pronounced me well that the dis- ease broke out afresh, and I was in a far worse condition than at first. Large lumps formed on my neck, my throat was filled with sores, and 2 horrible ulcer broke out on my jaw. After being treated again with no suce I became dtsgus' and changed doctors. I was again given the usual treatment of mercury, and took enorgh to kill an ordinary man. Of course, I was pronounced cured half a dozen times, the dise time, until my physician final: could do me no good. I am sure ever in a worse fix than I—my the handful, my feet were so sw scarcely work, and I was in a sad plight. “Thad seen 8. 8. 8. advertised as a cure for this disease, snd determined to try it, and before 1 had taken one bottle I felt much better. 1 con- tinued to take the remedy, and a dozen bottles cured me completely, so that for had no xign of the terrible disease. greatest bleod remedy of the age, « Gcl-send to those afflicted with contagious bToud at _no one was ir bad fallen by n that I could poison.”” For fifty years SS.
