Closing Exercises of Theological Seminary Now in Progress—Wash- ington School Diplomas, Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Beli Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 23, 1597. A regular meeting of the city council was eid last night in the council cham- bers in the Market building. The recom- mendation of the finance committee to ap- propriate $250 for the contingent expenses of the board of police commissioners was read, and caused a great deal of discus- sion. Mr. Theo Ballinger said that he was not opposed to the recommendation if the ob- ject was to create a contingent fund for the commissioners, but if it was for the ayment of lawyers in the recent contro- versy between the mayor and commission- ers, he was opposed to it. He was of the opinion tfiat it would have been better for the commissioners to have brought the matter befcre council before they employed the attorneys. - Mr. Burke declared in favor of the ap- propriation, inasmuch as the contract with the attorneys was made in good faith. A vete was taken, Mr. Ballinger being the only member to vote in the negative. The reports of the auditor, city treasurer, committee on light, and the sinking fund commission, respectively, for the fiscal year were received and approved. The petition of Mr. W. B. Davis, who asked to be relieved of part of a recent ssessment, was reported upon adversely. he petition of Captain Herbert Bryant for permit to rebuild his fertilizer plant, recently destroyed by fire, was reported upon favorably by the committee on streets, but the recommendation of the committee was lost by a vote of 8 to 5. Upon mo- tion of Mr. James R. Caton the petition was reconsidered and referred back to the committee. The reqiest of Mr. C. J. W. Summers for the laying of gutters and other improve- ments granted, as was also that of Mr. J. F. Catlin, to rebuild his boat house, which was destroyed by fire. Permission w anted Mr. DeWilion Aitcherson to lay a side track in his prop- erty on the Strand. 4 A resoluticn increasing the appropriation for the extension of Prince street from $1,200 to $1,800 was also adopted. After transacting some other business of minor importance, council adjourned until Monday next, when the matter of receivin the report of the committee on strects, on the petition of Captain Herbert Bryant, will be acted upon.

Last Regular Meeting of the Season Last Evening. The last regular meeting of the season Was held by the Moody choir at the First »tist Church last evening. Upon inquiry it was found that quite a sum of money had been raised at the recent concert given by the choir, and the amount was put in the hands of the board of government for disposal for some charitable purpose. It was decided to have the annual outing of the choir this year at Glen Echo, Mon- Gay or Tuesday next. The choir will give a concert in the amphitheater, and will, in all probability, repeat the program given at the last concert. Besides this, there will be other amusements, and the choir has arranged for a most delightful occasion. —_———. -—_ $1.25 to Baltimore and Return Via B. and O. R. R.

This will make the third play of the Paul- tons presented by the Columbia Stock Com- pany this summer, and as “Niobe” and “A Man With a Past” have scored two of the biggest successes of the season, it 1s only fair to expect that “A Bad Lot” will com- plete “three of a kind.” It is of the same order of airy, frivolous but infectious comedies which these clever brothers know so well how to construct, their knowledge of stagecraft serving to eke out the flim- siest possible of materials to the utmost mits of funmaking. This piece, however, is said to be rich, not only in comic com- plications, but In character studies, which will give the members of the Columbia Stock Company full scope for their varied talents. Irdeed, Mr. Bergman, the stage manager, says that every member of the cast ought to make a hit in his or her part, and from what we have seen of thetr work heretofore it is highly probable that they will realize all expectations. EXCURSIONS. The excursion of Capital City Command- ery, Knights of Malta, to River View yes- terday was a most successful affair, and the members of the commandery and thetr many friends are more than pleased at its success. Every boat that wert down had on beard a good crowd of merry excursion- ists, and during the day there were over 1,000 persons at the View. The chute af- forded much amusement to all, and those who did not shoot it stcod about its lake and watched the boat loads of merry “chuters” come down the steep incline and bounce along the lake. There was music and dancing for those who are fond of tripping the light fantastic toe, and every pmed to be having a good time. The ball game between Capital City and Potomac commanderies was interesting and s greatly enjoyed by the ladies. The t boat arrived home shortly after 11 o'clock with its load of pleased, but tired, excursionists, Tomorrow the pupils of Miss Clara Stev- ens’ Dancing School go on an all-day excur- sion to Marshall Hall. A most interesting program has been arranged and everything hag been done to contribute to the enjoy- ment of the guests. Exhibitions of fancy dancing by the pupils will be given during the day, and one of the pleasantest trips of the season is looked forward to by all in- terested in the occasion. Tomorrow night the Bank Clerks’ Asso- ciation ‘of Washington hold forth at the Hall. It is the twenty-sixth annual excur- sion of the association, and they will en- aeavor to outdo the efferts of past years in the entertainment prepared for their friends. All who have accompanied them know what one of their trips calls for, and this ene has been cast in the same die that has turned out such successful outings in the past. The Sunday school of the Fifth Baptist Church will take possession of the grounds at Marshall Hall tomorrow. The gentlemen in charge of the excursion—Messrs. Le Handy, Walter Carter, William Waple, C. Cc. James and Ralph Bailey—have made every preparation for the pleasure of the school. No one who cares to spend a cool day at the Hall this season should miss this chance. This school has earned for itself a reputation as an entertainer, and the committee named above has made it everything that could be desired in the way of selecting the attracticns. The legion of friends of the school will undoubtedly take Gavantage of this opportunity for a gala day. Fortress Monroe, Virginia Beach and Ocean View look their prettiest these days. Many Washingtonians do not realize how near they are to Fortress Monroe and its resorts. The Norfolk and eamers, leaving 7th street evening in the year at 7 hington wharf every o'clock, land their passengers at Fortress Monro orfolk and Portsmouth early the following morning. Those who will sum- mer at the resorts in New York and New England may also take this trip, and at Norfolk board the Old Dominion Line steamers for the ocean sail to New York. Through tickets over both lines are sold, which give the privilege of stopping at Fortress Monroe, etc., and also of going in either direction between this city and New York by rail, if passengers so desire. ——_ THE PARADE A SUCCEsS. Street Exhibition by the Wallace Shows Pleases ‘Thousands. The circus parade of the great Wallace shows drew a large part of Washington's Population to the prominent thoroughfares this morning. Long before the parade had started, in all likelihood, persons began to congregate in little knots on the corners, and to occupy vantage points from whence they could obtain the best view of all that should take place, and by the time the pageant arrived the streets and avenues through which It was scheduled to pass were crowded. It may be said truthfully that not one of the many was disappointed, for the parade was highly enjoyable and interesting in every feature. The claim that the Wallace shows have been making all along as to its display of horseflesh was well sustained, and the equine beauties elicited many expressions of admiration, The pony show was also a feature, and pleased the children on the streets immensely. The wild animal ex- hibit wus all that has been claimed for it, and the dens were open so that spectators got a glimpse of the inmates. One of the noteworthy features was the lady snake charmer and one of her ugly s in a wagon, the sides of which were constructed of glass, so as to admit of a good view of the interior. The snake, a beautiful specimen of the striped python species, was cojled up on the branch of a tree, while the young lady seemed not at all conscious of his near proximity. The elephants, too, came in for their share ef the popular admiration, although they did not give any notice that they ap- preciated the curiosity bestowed upon them. The herd of camels, the donkeys, the four-horse teams, the race horses und the chariots were all put down as being above the usual standard. The costumes worn by the various participants in the parade were handsome and bright as to color, and lent an additional charm to the pageantry. There were three bands, one of which was always playing, and, of course, this added to the general pleasure of those who had come out on the hot street to witness the sight. The parade was a long one, and full of interesting features, and proved to be a much better “ad” for the show than all the posters that could be printed. ‘The small boy, of course, was there and every- where, enjoying himself to the utmost, get- ting in every one’s way, in imminent’ dan- ger of being run over by the steam calliope at one moment and of being crushed under the elephant’s foot the next. But he en- joyed it. And so did everybody else who had the good fortune to be on the street at the time the parade was on view. The first performance was given at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and the show this evening will begin at 8 o'clock. SSS $5.00 To New York and Re- $5.00 turn via Pennsylvania Railroad.

When the case of Edward Anderson, a young white man, charged with the embez- zlement of a $16 barrel of sugar from Pat- rick H. Sheehy, the 18th of October, 1895, was called in Criminal Court No. 2 this morning the defendant failed to appear, and his bail was declared forfeited and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Mr. Campbell Carrington, the young man’s at- torney, stated that he is now engaged in business in New York city. Anderson was out on bail in the sum of $500, John H. Murphy being his bondsman. — Was Acquitted. John Black, a fifteen-year-old colored boy, was acquitted in Criminal Court-No. 2 today of the charge of carnal knowledge of May Roy, a young colored girl, several weeks ago. Assistant District Attorney Laskey frankly announced that the girl's story was 80 improbable that he couldn’t consistently a&Sk for a conviction. The boy was repre- sented by Attorney Marion T. Clinkscales. PROMINENT ATTORNEY DEAD Unexpected Demise of Richard Smith, Mem- berof Local Bar. All of the Courts Adjourn Today as a Mark of Respect to His “Memory. Richard Smithy “Dick” Smith, as he was famillarly known, a+member of the local bar, died of apoplexy, at his residence, 1727 Hi street, at 8:30 o’¢lock ‘this morning. Mr. Smith had been in ill health for the past month, but no’ serious consequences were anticipated, and his death this morn- ing was, therefore, quite unexpected. The deceased attorney, who was the son of the late John A. Smith, for niany years clerk of the District Court, and a cousin of Judge Walter S. Cox, was born in the-city about fifty years ago. He was a man of some means, and while an honored member of the loca? bar, practicéd his profession but little. He was unmarried and leaves three sisters surviving him. He was a genial, whole-souled man, of courtly man- hers, and one of the best-known and most popular members of the bar. He was one of the original members of the Metropolitan Club, president of the Pa- tuxent Club, and the originator of the Law- yers’ Club. Notice of his funeral will be made this afternoon or tomorrow. Action of the Courts. In Equity Court No. 1 Mr. R. Ross Perry announced the death of Mr. Smith, re- ferring to him as a man who was beloved by every member of the bar, and stat- ing that at another time he would refer at greater length to the great loss which the bar and community have sustained in the death of an honored associate. Mr. Perry moved that the court adjourn as a mark of respect to his memory. Judge Cox replied In an appropriate man- ner, and granted the motion. Mr. F. H. Mackey made the announce- ment in Equity Court No. 2, Judge Hag- ner granting a similar motion. District Attorney Davis made a_similar announcement and motion in Criminal Court No. 2, a like order being made by Judge Bradley. The same thing was done in Circuit Courts Nos. 1 and 2. ee ae Ten valuable building. lots on 5th and 6th streets between Hard I streets northeast will be sold separately by trustees at auc- tion tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock.

The lecture was in aid of the Episcopal chari- ies of the city and was given under the pices of the Church of the Ascension. A large number of the members of the con- gregation, as well as ihe friends of General Pitkin, were present, and enjoyed the schol- arly and eloquent address to the utmos' General Pitkin was given a warm recep: tien upon his appearance on the platform and was forced to bow his acknowledg- ments several times before beginning his talk. The lecture was a concise statement of the ideas Shakespeare wished to advance in this class of eharacters in his plays, and was not only interesting in every particu- lar, but was instruetive to all who enjoy getting an insight into the great poct’s hid- den meanings amd thoughts. —_——~__.

Love Denies That He Ex- ceeded Speed Limit. It has become the custom for defendants charged in the Police Court with violating the regulations affecting bicycles to for- feit collateral, that course being considered @ saving of time and money. Some sur- prise was occasioned, therefore, when Mr. Samuel W. Love, charged. with exceeding the speed limit, answered when his uame was called today, and made a vigorous de- ferse. Policeman J. A. Duvall of the bicycle squad testified that Mr. Love was riding cn his wheel yesterday afternoon along North Capitol street, the rate of speed being 17% miles an hour, the limit between street crossings being twelve miles, and at street crcssings six miles. In the most emphatic terms, Mr. Love de- clared that he was not guilty. “I am a business man, your honor,” he said, “and certainly have no desire to vio- late the law, being fully acquainted with the regulations. 1 have been riding a bicy- cle for years, and am just as good a judke of speed as Policeman Duvall, if not a bet- ter one. “I am acquainted with him, and it is hardly reasonable that I would ‘leliberately try a burst of speed directly before his eyes. I was making about nine mies an heur, and when that man Duvall says I was covering seventeen miles, he makes a statement that is absolutely false.” ‘Are you positive that this defendant was violating the law?” asked Judge Mills, ad- dressing the policeman. “Very positive, sir,” was the answer. “Five dollars fine,” ruled the court. ‘Thank you, sir,” then said Mr. Love, ith a display of spirit, “but with all due respect to your honor, I am not guilty.” The fine was paid. Others arrested yesterday for scorching were William J. Harris, John C. Rau and Rubert P. Brown. Samuel Banks, Walter Wentworth and Daniel C. Vaugh rode after dark without displaying a light, and Hiram 7. Gray had no bell attached to his wheel. They were all taken into custody, and in the Police Court today each forfeited col- lateral. ——_—_ Charges Desertion. Mamie Agnes L. Jeffries has petitioned for divorce from William T. Jeffries, to whom she was married here September 29, 1893, charging that he deserted and aban- doned her June 22, 1894. She asks to be al- lowed to resume her maiden name of Simp- son, praying that she be granted alimony and the custody of the child.

The schooner Hattie, which recently left this city for Rockland, Me., with a cargo of 260 tons of bituminous coal, colliied Sunday night, off Smith's Point lightship, in Chesapeake bay, with the Merchants and Miners’ steamer Dorchester, Capt.
