Two Aspirants Alrendy in the Field to Suececd Him—The Street Sweep- ing Problem Again Discussed. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone, No. 06, ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 14, 189F. At the last session of the Alexandria county court Judge L. D. Yarrell, counsel for the Alexandrta County Citizens’ League, gave notice that charges of malfeasance and incompetency would be preferred against. Commonwealth's Attorney Dick Johnson. Should these charges be proved and Johnson removed from office it will devolve upon Judge J. M. Love to appoint Johnson's Buccessor. Judge Love appre- ciates this responsibility and it is believed will appoint a suitable man for the vacancy should it occur. Judge Love has also to appoint his successor as commonwealth’s attorney for Fairfax county. R. E. Thorn- ton and C. Vernon Ford, the attorneys who so well defended James Lewis, the negro ravisher of. Mrs. Reidel, against whom there was so much damaging evidence, are the aspirants. Still Agitating King Street. The strect-sweeping question is one ‘that is still agitating the minds of the King street merchants. At the last meeting of the city council a resolution was introduced requiring the Washington, Alexandria ani Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company to keep King street sprinkled from the wharf to Payne street, but this procecding is considered absurd by the people, wao say that the city should provide ep-to-date facilites for this purpose and get out ot the rut that has existed since the days cf George Washington.

Gitson of Tennessee will be the crator of the day, and the members of the post look forward to his coming with a great deal of interest. A Disagreeable Nuisance. Hundreds cf people have called at The Evening Star bureau today to complain of the great nuisance caused by the city au- thorities in cleaning out the manholes of the King street sewer. At 10 o'clock this morning, when this thoroughfare was crowded, there were on every street corner two piles of filth taken from the manholes and lett for more than an hour, awaiting the wagens to take them up. The odor thrown out was of the most obnoxious kind, not only disagreeable to the nostrils, but menacing to health. The people say this work should be done at night. Base Ball. Much interest is always taken by Alex- andrians in the hase ball games between the Episcopal High Schcol team and visit- ing clubs, and many go out to the grounds to witness the contests. Tomorrow morn- ing at 11 o'clock, on the high school dia- mond, the school team will cross bats with the Rock Hill College boys, and an inter- esting game may be looked for. Will Parage the 24th.

This work would, he said, be in homes, not only of the lowly, but of those. who are members of polite’ society and of the wealthy. Hereafter they must exercise their own judgment in the.care of the sick, and if they should ever he suspected by their employers of a want of attention to these intrusted to their care, they might rest assured their services would noc long be required.

They could not afford to be impztient, for if they did it might delay convatescence. They must do all in their power to inspire the confidence of the paiient.
