The Election of Delegates im Third Ward — Atkinson-Taylor Assault Cane—Police Matters. Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King Street, Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 21, 1897. Harriet Lyles, colored, was before the mayor this morning upon a warrant sworn out by Elizabeth Ballard, also colored, who charged that Harri-t was guilty of throw- ing salt In her back yard every Saturday morning early, thereby placing a charm over her. After hearing the case the mayor dismissed Harrtet. Shortly after court ad- journed Elizabeth appeared at the station house and wanted a peace warrant for Harriet. The mayor advised her, however, to go home, and if Harriet bothered her again he would give her a warrant. About an hour afterward, while Officer Lyles wes patrolling his beat near the Lyles woman's house, he was called upon for a warrant for Elizabeth for assaulting Harriet with an ax. It appears that short- ly after all hands had returned from the station house the women met and a war of words ensued, ‘which wound up by the Ballard woman striking Harriet with the ax. Dr. Purvis was summoned, and upon ex- amination declared the wound to be of a most serious nature. Elizabeth was arrest- ed and is locked up at the station house. lection of Delegates Today. As stated in The Star, a primary election will be held in the third ward this evening between the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock for the purpose of electing delegates to the state democratic convention, to be held in Roanoke in Augnst, for the nomination of candidates for governor, lieutenant gov- ¢rhor and attorney general. Two tickets have been prepared, and it is understood that a third one wili be placed in the field when the polls open. Owing to the fact that this is the second time an attempt has been made to elect delegates in this ward. a great deal of interest is being manifested, and it is expected that an un. vsually large vote will be polled. All the delegates from this city will cast. their tes for James R. Caton for Heutenant governor. = Atkinson-Taylor Assault Case. As has been stated in The Star, a called meeting of the board of pniice commis- sioners will be held this evening at § o’cleck to investigate the charges against Policeman Atkinson, preferred by Lawyer Eugene B. Taylor, who alleges that the night of June 17 Officer Atkinson assaulted him and was insultins toward him. At- k-nson’s many friends fecl contident that it will take the commissioners a few min- utes only to declare him innocent of the offense charged. Death of W. N. Berkley. William N. Berkley, an old and respected citizen, died at his home, No. 5608 Prince Street, last evening at 7:30 o'clock.

While there he complained that his diamond stud had dis- appeared, and the police made an investiga- tion, but without success. Saturday after- neon Detective Boyd recovered nond. It appears that Engineer Locke at the hospital had sold {t to another man. ‘This third party also sold it, and the last purchaser says he sold it to another man. This third party also sold it, and the !ast purchaser had the diamond set in a ring and then he presented it to his sweetheart.

There is really nothing to be done about such a trick as was played on a guileless and unsuspecting public at; Marshall Hall last Saturday but to simply tell about it. The company, knowing that“@ very small crowd was spending the afterncon in that retreat of rural loveliness (2), coolly, and with the utmost calmness, omitted to send down the boat that was promised to leave Marshall Hall at 7:30, and kept at least fifty people, tired, but ever polite, waiting until the Macalester browghtcits load of Dleasure-seekers, took :.gail.down to In- dian Head in the peltingimin, and returned to Marshall Hall to take upzthe whole throng and carry them hame idgain.

Mr. Whelan was born in County Kildare, Ireland, and spent his youth in his native country.
