H. Atkinson.” A Quiet Election of Delegates Held Last Evening—Suit Brought tp Settle a Point, 13 bs Evening Star Bureap, No, 52) King streets (Bell Telephone No. 168.) “ ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jung. 19, 4897. As stated in The Star yesterday, charges have been preferred against © Policeman Weston H. Atkinson by Lawyer Eugene B. Taylor. The accusations are that # the night of June 17, at the station house, Officer Atkinson made an unprovoked as- sault upon him, cursed him and’ was-othe:- wise abusive. si ‘The trouble is said to have originated in the fact that Mr. Taylor had asserted upon several occasions that Officer Atkinson hus been guilty of cruel conduct in ‘kicking’ and cursing a tramp whom he had arrested. When Mr. Taylor went to the station house Thursday night Mr. Atkinson asked him about it. Mr. Taylor.replied in about the same language as stated above. The offi- cer told him he was mistaken, whereupon Mr. Taylor is alleged to have replied by saying: “If you say you did not kick and curse that tramp while he was down you The officer called Atkinson whereupon Mr. Taylor made for him, striking him in the breast. In the scuffle which followed the officer struck Mr. Taylor lightly on the cheek. For a few moments, it is said, things were quite lively, but friends interfered and the trouble ended. Mr. Taylor made formal complaint to the mayor. Mr. At- kinson denies most emphatically that he assaulted or cursed Mr. Taylor, but says, as a matter of fact, if any one at all was assaulted it was himself. Officer Atkinson has always borne an enviable reputation, and his many friends say it is more ridiculous to charge that he used profane language of any kind toward Mr. Taylor. Mr. Atkinson has been on duty at the station house for the past two years, as one of the keepers, ‘find there is not a member of the press in Alex- andria who would not cheerfully go be- fore the commissioners and testify to the fact that, as an officer, the accused has few equals. ‘As station keeper upon more than one occasion he has been in a position to use profanity, if he so desired. No man, it is believed, ever heard Weston H. Atkinson use vulgar or profane language toward a prisoner or any one else. It is claimed by his niany friends that it will only take the commissioners a very few minutes to hororably discharge him from the charges preferred against him. Delegates Elected. An adjourned meeting of the city demo- cratic committee was held last night and tcok action in reference to the manner in which the meeting for the election of dele- gates to the gubernatorial convention was held Thursday night in the fourth ward, at which disgraceful scenes took place. Chair- man Sweeney was upheld for the manner in which he adjourned that meeting. Another meeting was held at 8 o'clock last evening for the election of delegates, at which Mr. Sweeney was again elected chairman, and the following gentlemen were placed in nomination: Francis L. Smith, John A. Marshall, C. R. Davis, Frank Spinks, Ed. W. Lawler, Theodore Ficklin, R. T. Cook and M. P. Vincent. The balloting resulted in the election of Messrs. Smith, Ficklin, Cook and Marshall. Resolutions instructing the delegation to vote for Mr. James R. Caton of this city for Heutenant governor, and indorsing the Chicago platform, were unanimgpsly adopt- ed. The delegates were not: inatrucjed as to the choice for governor. Ae The scenes were entirely different from what they were the night before, when the Lights were extinguished and;,the pballot boxes stuffed. mole To Settle a Legal Queé#tion:, City Auditor Price was yestetday after- noon served with a notice to appeat Mon- day before Judge J. K. M. Npfton Uf the corporation court “to show cayse why he should not be punished for contempt-for his disobedience of an order the¢tourt jn allowances,” which allowances the auditor would not pay by w: ts. The reference is to allowan je for inquest charges following t) ‘h of Clem Dorsey, colored, who coi itted sul- cide in April last. The case’ only brought to scttle the legal qui yn, the following note addressed to Mr. e by Judge Norton will show: “My Dear Sir: The sergeant will today serve process On you, returnable Monday, to show cause why you should not be pro- ceeded against for contempt. I write you this so that you will understand the cer . The question will be as to Jour right in such warrants. You fo refuse to pay. warrants cases, or, rather, to. issue are right in out for the city’s interests, and, of course, I do not propose, even if you should not have au- PAB nae Reem hen gh lahat a fer contempt. If i¢ should apoee J te @ warrant, no action ps aa. The’ wi ‘matter is merely to raise the legal question.” Refused to Release —Sease “pac court yesterday on application for release fro: a bond of $2580, requ!red of him by the mayor about six weeks ago, when he as- saulted his brother-in-law, Albert Schoeni, with a pistol. It will be remembered that three weeks before this assault Nowland bad beer put under his own recognizance in the sum of $200 to keep the peace and had broken it. Judge Norton, after hearing statements from the mayor, Chief Webster and Nowland, concluded not to interfere and remanded the prisoner to ja!l. Nowland was represented by Mr. J. R. Flanigan, and Commonwealth Attorney Marbury looked after the state’s interest. General and Personal Notes. Special devotions to the Sacred Heart were held last night at St. Mary's Catho- lic Church. These services will be held every Friday evening during June. Deputy United States Marshall Glover yesterday served a writ upon Capt. J. D.

Peacock of Fairfax County Passes Away. The death of Mr. Thomas J. Peacock, a lifelong resident of Virginia, occurred last Saturday, though the news has just reach- ed his friends in the city. The deceased was in his eighty-seventh year, and was a Temarkable man. His home was near Great Falls, in Fairfax county, Virginia. His death was due to old age and general debility, and the interment was made Mon- day. The deceased was born in April, 1811, and since 1838 he had lived in the house in which he died, his demise occurring in the portion of the dwelling first erected by his own hands, when he started in to clear the land upon which he proposed to make his home. The place was then almost a wilderness and very sparsely settled. Mr. Peacock was married in 1835, and in 1885 the couple celebrated their golden wed- ding, the occasion being one of great in- terest to fhe people in the community. For over sixty-two years he and his wife had 'ved most happily together, and his faith- ful helpmate is left to mourn her loss. From their union there were nine chii- dren born, six girls and three boys, eight of whom survive their father, ull being grown. In addition to these descendants, the deceased leaves many grandchildren. During the civil war Mr. Peacock was a stanch Union man, voting against the ordi- nance of secession. Thursday, July 25, 1861, fcur days after the first Bull Run battle, he was arrested by the confederates and taken to Manassas, Va., and was not per- mitted to return to his family until the spring of 1862, the advance of the federal ferces under General McClellan compelling the confederates to evacuate the town. The home of Mr. Peacock was the head- avarters of many of the prominent gener- als on both sides, alternately. Many of those politically his enemies were person- ally his friends, and owed to his good of- fices the adjustment of many delicate ques- tions between them and the federal govern- ment. While the deceased was too old at the outbreak of the war to enter the army, he rendered some good and in other directions. cee rereice —..{—_—_—_ Rough on Rat: Saturday is considered a busy day at the Emergency Hospital, and, in addition to a large number of cases brought for treatment by the surgeons there, an eleven- Year-old boy, Ramond Thayer, residing at 241 8th street southeast, was presented for treatment, it having been stated that he had taken some rough on rate.
