OL st _WasHING Powe AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Popular Railway Conductors to Compete for a Handsome Prize, Police Affairs Under Investigation and a Lively Time Anticipated—Circuit Court Proceedings — Notes. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 2, 18:7. There is quite an interesting contest on between the conductors of the various rail- roads centering at Washington, and it is unique because of the great benefit to be derived from it. A conductor's triple-plated silver lantern has been donated to be voted for, the most popular conductor in the serv- ice of the Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapcake and Ohio, Pennsylvania and Southern rail- reads, to take the prize, and the contest bids fair to be an exceedingly warm one, as the money is to be devoted to a chari- table cause. Ten cents is to be charged for each vote. Each road is to present one candidate, and the total proceeds are to be devoted to the relief of disabled conductors. The Southern Railway Company, the mcst of whose north-end conductors reside in this city, have entered J. T. Wilkins as thelr candidate, and are going to make & hard fight for him. LEveryvody knows John Wilkins, and wonders how he does his duty so well. Several years ago he lest his left hand in the R. and D. service, now the Southern. He did not sue the company for heavy damages, but consented to accept such position as he might be able to fill and continue in the service. When his arm healed and he wes able to wear an artificial one, he was madéez conductor of a passerger train, and from that day has Performed the duties with credit to himself aid te the company. He is today one of the mcst popular men on the road, and if any one gets into trouble John Wilkins can be counted on to help him out.

It was while toiling up the hill to the Church cf Our Lady of Monsenat, where the best view of the valley is had, that General Lee came near spoiling our an- ticipated enjoyment of the scenery. The general is always explosive. “My God,” he exclaimed, “think of those chtldren.” We cannot forget them if'we would. No one who has once seen the children among the pacifices on Cascarohill need be told to think of them. Helpless, starving child- hood stamps its impress too deeply to be brushed away as a passing impression. CHARLES PEPPER. ———_—_ A Successful Entertainment. The musical and Mterary entertainment, given by Misses E. P. Gatewood and Hail's pupils last Friday night, was a success, Potomac Hel! being filled to the doors. The program consisted of instrumental and vocal solos, duets and dialogues. Each ef- fort received a deserved recognition, and many of the performers were compelled to respond to an encore. Those purticipating were: Mr. Hall, Misses Mary and Elia Smith, Fannie Bartholomew, Edna and May Lynn, Annie Trecle, Ada and Abbie Hall, Annie Burke, Katie Bligh, Beulah Winter, May Marsh, Mollie Lewis, Ella Claxton, Annie Lacrey, Mary Faunce and little Miss Cleveland. Miss Smith received the graduating medal. epen and saw women and children in ac- tual starvaticn. ‘One weman hobbled along painfully, leading her little boy, who also walked as if in pain. When they approach- ed it was seen that their ankles and wrists were badly swollen. Many others were in the same state. They did rot know what caused it, perhaps the water. It is a merciful ignorance. A physician afterward told us that they were in the “anaemic condition,” no food to make blood and the blood turning to water. Some of them, he added, were certain to dle. Appearance of the Strangers. When the strangers first appeared in the camp of the pacificgs..mot a hand was stretched forth begging alms, not an appeal was made for charity. Ail the members of the party in starting out had provided themselves with what.seemed a liberal amount of small change, billetes or scrip, silver coin and coppers. ‘It was only when the eoins began to come spontaneously from our pockets that the clamor for aid began. The country people thought we were a relief party, and they could not be blamed if they made known their needs. The pro- ceeding, at best, was wholly irregular. The distressed American citizens to whom Con- gress voted relief were not on the hill of Cascaro. Neither Mr. Calhoun, the consul general, Consul Brice, Vice Consul Delgado, nor the rest of us had business there. We placed ourselves in the class of meddling Americans. In succoring these poor peo- ple, the rebellious subjects of Spain, as Minister de Lome calis them, we may have been guilty of a grave international of- fense. But when our pockets were emptied no one was sorry. Food is scarce and dear in Matanzas, yet there is food to be bought with money, and the thought of a few starving country people having something to eat that day must be our recompense. The length of this letter forbids the ac- count of what was actually done for the Americans. That and some further par- at In another hut the stay was short.
