Excursion Under Auspices of Alex- andria Light [nfantry—An Ambi- tiows Base Ball Team. Evening Star Bureau, No. 52) King St, (Bell Telephone No. 106.) ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 16, 1997. ‘J. Harry Hartman, a colored man, ¥ as arrested yesterday as a suspect. His gen- eral appearance was believed to corresp nd with the description of a colored man who is wanted in Alexandria county upon the charge of committing a criminal assault upon a lady near Arlington a short while ago. To a Star reporter the man denied that he was the offender wanted, saying he came fiom New York to Sheridan Point in the three-masted schooner Kate Florence, with a load of cement. At Sheridan’s Point he was taken with rheumatism, and had to lcave the schooner, making his way to this city in order to get in a marine hospital. His story was thoroughly investigated by the authorities, and was found to be true, whereupon he was released from custody. Excursion Today. ‘The’ ‘excursion today to River View, under the auspices of the Alexandria Light In- fantry, is being largely. attended, but it is expected that the largest crowds will go down on the evening boat. This afternoon the shooting contest for the Alexandria mes marksman’s medal will take place, ard will doubtless be hotly contested, for there are several crack shots in the com- pany. The medal has to be won three times in succession to become the property of ary one. The medal was won last year by Sergt. J. Johnson Green. This morning, before the first boat left, the com- eee headed by the 3d Virginia Regimeat Volunteer Field Baud, paraded several of the principal streets. Base Ball, * A game of base ball was played on Col- rcss.grounds yesterday afternoon between the Young Men’s Sodality Lyceum and the Alexandria Gymnasium teams,’ resulting in a victory for the former by a score of 10 to 7. The batteries were: Y. M.S. L., Poss ard Brenner; Gymnasium, Nutr, Mum- phries and Bright. Umpire, Mr, McBride.

The following cases were disposed of in the police court this merning: Joseph Peree and Robert Hampton, tramps, charged with vagrancy; dismissed upon promising to leave town. Joseph Churchill, colored, charged with an assault on Jerry Dorsey, also colored; dismissed for want of evi- dence.

One new member was elected, and some routine business transacted. General and Personal Notes. A number of Alexandrians went to Char- lottesville, yesterday, to hear William J, Bryan's speech at the university last night. ‘They returned -this morning much pleased. Mr. P. J. Dempsey and daughter have gone to Fauquier county, to attend the a nual colt show being held there. A regular meeting of the Young Men's Sodality Lyceum was held last night at its hall, on Duke street. No business of espe- cial interest was transacted. en Spoiled by Reading. From the New York Journal, “The niembets of the Longbeau Club lay back: in their armchairs, weary of trying to lay over the beautiful stories that each had sprung in turn on the assemblage, when the door of the smoking room open- ed and a brisk young man sauntered in. Nodding to ‘all, and oblividus of the gen- eral silence, he broke forth, as he stood up against the mantel: “Talking~@bout dogs, I had an animal once that was the most intelligent creature you _ever—". “No doubt,” drawled Col. Liartee. “We'll take ail that for granted. But what kind of a dog was he?” “He was 3 pointer, gentlemen. A pointer, and ‘iany'’s the pheasant, partridge and quail that dog has pointed out to me with pues most unerring accuracy. Intelligent? ell!” 't you come to the point?” asked another loose figure bundled up in one of the chairs. “Don’t get funny, now. Let me tell you. Of course, I ncedn’t say that Digit—that was his- name, you understand—was al- ways tickled to death to go out gunning with me, but one day I was surprised to observe that he didn’t seem to care about the sport at all. He sort of nosed along, and acted as if he was ashamed of himself. I was astonished. He wasn’t sick, that I could see, but he didn’t point any that day, and I returned home disgusted. “Well, that evening I strolled into the kitchen, of my house, and I stumbled across something on the floor. It was a book, be- longing evidently to one of the servants. I picked it up and found the page where it was open was literally dog’s pawed. There was the imprint of Digit’s foot on the leaf, as if he been reading it. Gentlemen, you will doubtless be surprised, but that dog had been reading it. The volume was a handbook on etiquette, and right there, in. larre type, were the words: "It is considered very rude to point.’ ” ——+ e+ - ___ Catfish Weighing 115 Pounds. From the Sioux City Tribune. An enormous catfish, weighing 115 pounds, was this morning pulled out of the Big Sioux river near the bridge by a fisherman. In many respects it was the most interest- ing fish taken from ihe Sioux river in a number of years. It was purchased by W. K. Shaw, and when exhibited in a buggy on Douglas street this forenoon attracted quite a number of spectators.

From the Spectator. If the single idea were entertained that the road to London was open, the effect of that idea would be for the hour ruin such as the world has never witnessed. The panic might, we believe would, sus- pend the whole social organization of the kingdom. All banks would shut their doors. The means of paying wages would be unprocurable, masses of men threatened with starvation would be raging in city Streets, as the Athenian mob raged, and unless parliament had very trusted lead- ers its deliberations might only add to the general confusion. London knows in- stinctively that, if attacked by a triumph- ant ad it can neither be defended nor fed; thi in fact, its only solid protection would be victory in the field; and London, if it got out of hand, would be a pandemo- nium such as only shells could reduce 10 order. We English despise foreign nations because their capitals are liable to “excite- ment,” panic, aimless insurrectionary ™movements, or revolts lke that of the commune—we are just now abusing poor little Athens, which on the whole behaves well—but we have no experience which justifies our overweening confidence. We have no more idea of what London would be under the influence of terror than what the solar system would be if the law of gravitation were suspended. All. might be, all would be, put right in time, for the national character is sound; there must be 600,000 men on the island who have beea through the military mill, and the supply of varied capacity is unlimited; but the in- fluence of the dark week would be felt all throughout our subsequent history. Just imagine the effect of the telegrams upon India, upon the colonies, upon the whole of the mercantile “plant” scattered over earth—of which the mercantile marine is only a part—accessible to the news. The week would cost us a national debt in money alone, besides its future effect in the destruction of the idea that England is in the world the one inviolable magazine for the storage of universal wealth. ——_-+e-+_____ If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.
