Mc- Calla took place at 11 o’clock yesterday from St. James’ Church, of which he wasa devoted member, in the presence of a large assemblage of friends, with a requiem cele- bration by the Rev. James W. Clark, rector, assisted by the Rev. George B. Stone of Baltimore. The interment was at Rock Creek churchyard. Dr. McCalla was a son of the late Gen. John M. McCalla of Lexington, Ky.; he was a man of exceptionally fine qualities, a deeply religious nature, which was prac- tically developed in doing good, and pos- sessed an artistic temperament, with a courtesy and kindliness belonging to the old school, a type of man fast passing away. He studied medicine under the late Dr. James E. Morgan, which resulted in a life- long triendship, but, because of poor heaith, he had not practiced for many years, a profession for which he seemed especiaily suited. Dr. McCalla came of a long line of distinguished colonial and revolutionary an- cestry, and was extremely proud of his Kentucky birth and Scotch descent, the heme being originally MacAulagh, and he had many Scotch characteristics. He was a member of the Sons of Revolu- tion at the time of his death. He married @ daughter of the late Silas H. Hill. ns Jf you want anything, try an ad. in Tha Star.

Pond's Extract Co., New York and. London, STRUCK''A WAGON Damage Done by an Electric Train in — zr fae MISSION FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE Meeting of R E. Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans. SOME INTERESTING MATTERS Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st., Bell Telephone -No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4, 1897. Last night shortly before 7 o'clock there wes some little excitement on upper King. street near the corner of Alfred, occasion- ed by an electric train striking a wagon belonging to the M. Shuler Beef Company. The train was coming down King street, and the wagon was about to cross on Al- fred when it wes struck, The driver, a colored boy, whose name could not be ‘earn- ed, was knocked ‘out and considerably bruised about the arms end legs, and the wagon was badly damaged. The electric train was drawn by motor car No. 14, Mo- terman Hall, Conductor B. Whaley. These trains of the Washington, Alexan- dria and Mount Vernun Railway Company, it is said, frequently run through the city at too great a rate of speed, and it is a constent remark of surprise that. more ac- eldents of « similar and serious nature do not occur. Pinafore by Local Talent. The comic opera Pinafore, presented at the Opera House last night by local talent for the benetit of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, was an unqualified success. The whole performance went off without a hitch. The voices in the entire cast were well chosen, and it would be hard to say which carried off the highest honors. The chorus was fine and well balanced. Every reserved seat in the house was taken for last night, and the galleries were well filled. The performance will be repeated tonight, and bids fair to be the same success. Mission at St. Mary's. The mission at St. Mary's Roman Cath- olic Church ior the benefit of the colored people of the city will commence tomorrow evening, and continue for one week. The body of the church will be reserved for col- cred peopte, and the balance left for white people who desire to Iend their support by their attendance. The choir will be com- posed of colored members of the congrega- tion. Base Ball Saturday.
