Probably one of the most remarkable old women now living ‘In Pennsylvanta 1s Mrs. Mary Ann Cassidy of Coalport, Pa., who is now 105 years of age, hale and hearty. She was the mother of eighteen children, thirteen boys and five girls. Of this rumber nine are living and nine dead. She gave birth to four pairs of twins. Mrs. Cassidy was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1792, com!ng with her husband ang family to this country in 1845. From their landing at New York they went to Philadelphia, thence to Broadtop, Johns- town, Gallitzin, Houtzdale and finally lo- cated In Coalport, where she has ltved ever since. She Eved in Johnstown forty-two years ago, when the canal was first operat- ed there. Her husband was killed at Broad- top a few years after coming to America by being caught in a coal shaft when re- turning from work. Mrs. Cassidy was never known to be sick and never had a phystcian. She never went to a dance in her life. For the past twenty-four years she has had her “second “sigh: now does not need to wear glasses. Though she ts toothless she can eat heartily three times a day. She weighed 2 when coming to this country, but during the past fifteen years she has dropped to about 200. About a year ago she kissed one of her twin boys good-bye as he lay in hts coffin, he having died at the age of sixty-five years. Mrs. Cassidy is a member of the Catholic church. ——___+ e+ —____ Farmer Buys a Family for $100. From the Chicago Tribune. Two years ago Brecht Yanna and Jacob Zeliar, natives of Switzerland, rented a farm in partnership about five miles east of Allfance, Ohio. Yanne, who was a single man, became a member of the Zellar house- hold. As time passed on a mutual attach- ment sprung up between Yanne and Mrs. Zellar. The partnership between Yanne and Zellar was dissolved some months ago, but the bonds of friendship remained un- broken. A few days ago Zellar expressed @ desire to return to his native land, but did not a bers —— to meat the expenses of the trip. ‘anne had the — and, after consulting Mrs. Zellar, $100 for his wife. To this proposition Zellar assented in case Yanne ‘would also take the chijdren.

Probable Re-Election of the Subordi- mates — Coming Excursion of the Third Regiment Field Band. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 30, 1897. Tomorrow at noon the new city admin- istration will take charge of the affairs of the city to continue in control for the next two years. Mr. George L. Simpson, the “people's” mayor, will he sworn in at the head of affairs. The new council will meet in the city hall at noon, and its members sworn in, after which they will organize, with Mr. Wm. H. Marbury, the president of the old board of aldermen, as president of the new beard, and Mr. Hubert Snowden, presi- dent of the cld common council. as presi- dent of the new council. The present clerks, Messrs. R. E. Knight of the board of aldermen, and J. T. Johnson of the com- mon council, both have opposition for re- election,and the result cannot be forecasted correctly, although it is more than proba- ble that both will be re-elected. Mr. E. T. Price will succeed himself as elty auditor; Mr. W. B. Harlow as city treasurer, Mr. P. F. Gorman as tax col- lector, Mr. R. T. Cook as clerk of gas, Mr. Chas. Goodrich as measurer of wood and bark. and Mr. Jas. L. Adams as meas- vurer of lumber. It is understood that Mr. Simpson will make some changes in the police man- agement which will be of benefit to the of- ficers and the service. A change will prebably be made in the hour fcr holding sessions of the police court, so that the men will not lose as much rest as they do under the present system. The citizens hope for great things under the new administration. Mr. Simpscn goes into office with flying colors and with the confidence of the entire city behind him. It may be predicted that his man- agement of the affairs of the city will prove a success. As has been said, Mr. Simpson is a man of business ability, and he will run the city affairs on business principles. Third Regiment Field Band. A p-xular meeting of the 3d Regiment, Virginia, Volunteer Field Band was held last evening in {ts hall, on North Royal street, with about twenty members present. ‘The committee having in charge the cx- cursion, to be given Friday, July 16, report- ed that tickets were fast being disposed of, and it would probably require two boats to accommodate the Jazge crowd expected to go. Quite a heated discussion was indulged in when the names of several of the members were reported to the executive committee for non-attendance at meetings and prac- tice. The talk lasted for an hour. It was decided to attend the ce'chration at Del Ray, Monday afternoon, and the men were instructed to assemble at 3:30 o'clock. Tom Burden Rites. Cases cf an amusing nature are frequent- ly heard in the mayor's court, and this morning there was one added to the list. A negro woman, Mary Francis, was in the dock, charged with assaulting and heating Tom Burden, her dusky lover. Tom told his story, and it would seem to be a mir- acle how he escaped with his life, but he showed no signs of the affray on his per- son. Mary denied Tom's story, and told how he had broken into her house and bit her twice on the arm and shoulder. “Den I taken a bottle an’ struck him,” said Mary. o he bites, does he?” sald the mayor. “Well, Burden, you can pay the costs of this warrant, as you seem to have been the cause of the disturbance.” Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Thompson disposed of the following cases Lena Jackson and Martha Lewis, charge< with disorderly conduct, dismissed. Jonn Nelson, cherged with assaulting his mother, fined $1. Hcward Shelton, the wei!-known cake walker, charged with stealing cigars from Mr. G. Wm. Ramsay; held for further examinaticn. Elizabeth and Lizzie Ballard, charged with assaulting Harriet Ly! e continued until 8 o'clock tonight. IS. Blandheim, charged with assaulting Elizz Williams, pleaded guilty, and was fined $1. Patriotic Celebration. Extensive preparations are being made for the patriotic celebration and lawn party, under the auspices of the Del Ray Methodist Episcopal Church, at Del Ray next Monday. There will be a flag raising, and “old glory” will float to the breeze. The 2d Virginia Regiment Volunteer Mieid Band will furnish the music. Prominent speakers will be present, and at night there will be fireworks. Capt. J. N. Davis, superintendent of the National cemetery in Alexandria, was waited upon by a committee a few days ago and invited to recite the famous poem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” at the cele- bration at Del Ray on July 5, and he has accepted the invitation extended, and wiil recite it as the flag is raised to the breeze. Virginian Glaxs Works. The Virginia glass works, which have been in successful operation in West End for the past four years, shut down today, ac- ccrding to custom, for the months of suly anc August. This afternoon the proprie- tors will give the employes a collation. This company has always presented a prize to the most faithful “bottle carriers,” and this year Masters Joseph Schwarzman and Harry Robinson are the successful one<. Each will be presented with a suit of clothes. Contested Election Canc. Judging by the large array of legal talent engaged in the cortested election case of Corbett vs. Torreyson, in the Alexandria county court, it would appear that to be a member of the board of supervisors of Alexandria county is a sinecure. Stix of the most prominent attorneys in this sec- tion of the state are employed. Mr. Corbett, the contestee, is represented by Messrs. Armstrong, Smith and Bur! while Mr. Torreyson has as his counsel Messrs. R. W. Moore of Fairfax, Jno. M. Johnson of this city and Will W. Douglass of Alexandria county. It will be remembered that when the judges of election counted the ballots in Arlington magisterial district last Novem- ber the vote was found to be a tie between Tcrreyson and Corbett, and it was agree¢ to draw straws for the office. Mr. Torrey scn won, and Corbett contested the elec- tion. Judge Love ordered a recount, and it was found that with all contested ballots settled, Corbett had 210 votes and Torreyscn had 208. Two votes out of the count were not counted for either party. ‘The proceedings are still in progress, and will not be concluded before late this after- noon or tomorrow morning. The case will probably end in the circuit court for Alex- andria on a point raised by Toreyson’s counsel, that Judge Love had no right to order a recount. % General and Personal Notes.

Work is Blurred and In- distinct. The first counterfeit of the new design of silver certi§eates has reacined the Treas- ury Department. It is of the $5 denomina- tion and bears check letter B, plate number 4. It 1s a photo-lithographic production and is priated upon two pieces of paper be- tween which silk fiber has been distribute: then pasted together. Much of the work on the note is blurred and indistinct.

The seal is much darker red than the gcnuine and badiy blurred. The numbering is 100 large and the dark cuilines of ihe original numbers can be tatnily discerned beacatn those stamped on the counterfeit. The back of the note has a duit, faded appear- ance. The green ink is a lighter sh: than that used on the genuine. The por- traits-of “Grant” aud “Shervlan” are flat, do not siand ou- ia relief as in uae senu- ine. The noje has the appearance of hav- ing heen in civeu‘ation. 2S See Thatchford Evaden a Question. Michael Thatchford, president of the United Mine Workers, when asked what truth there was in the specials sent out to the effect that a strike of coal mine work- ers had been ordered, said: “I ara tired of denying these reports of a proposed strike. I have been denying them for sixty days. I have nothing to say for publication.” The last national meeting of the miners decided on a scale of sixty cents for Chio and s:xty-nine cents for Pennsylvania, and left it to the executive committee to de- termine the time to put this sc: into cperation. The committee met here June 31, 25 and 26, and for three days were eseted with positive orders not to be called or to admit anybody. On Saturday, as announced by the Associaied Press, they gave out that conditions are not favorable to put the proposed new scale into opera- tion now. That, of course, means tha there might have been a strike had the new seale been ordered, but not being ordered, there cannot be any strike. Much of the = es Wins 2 Trinl Plate.

OFFICER RUSSELL ON TRIAL Charges Filed by Howard Perry of Oo- Tumbia Athletic Club, Policeman Accused of Impertinence and Refusing to Do His Duty —The Evidence. aut = 0) Saye Policeman L. H. Russell of the third pre- cinct was before the police trikl board to- day, charged by Mr. Howard Herry of the Columbia Athletic Club with using insolent and disrespectful langéage toward him, and also with failing and reftising to per- form the duty assigned im when detailed at the C. A. C. grounds gn the 12th of fast month. “ There was a big crowd in attendance at the grounds, and during one of the track contests, when the spectators bad moved over on a part of the ,track, Mr. Perry, who was referee, called: to the officer to eleer the track, and what followed was the chuse of the officer ‘betiig protght up on charges. iii eatoo! When he appeared before the trial board this morning Mr. Perry said he had no ill fecling toward the officer, but he. wanted the question at issue settled by the board. In giving his testimony he said the crowd had pushed oyer an. imaginary line. The particular event then on, he added, was becoming exciting, and he asked the officer to have the crowd moved. His reply was that he had already asked the people to move, and he told witness If he wanted them out of the way he would have to move them himself. His Estimate of Duty. The officer, he said, told him he was there to arrest violators of the law, and witness had an idea that the persons who crowded 0. the track were disorderly. Om- cer Russell asked him how he was going to get the people back, and witness told Eim to push them back. Afterward Mr. Perry went to the officer to get the number of his ‘badge, and this, he thought, incensed the policeman, who volunteered to give-his name. Russell was then endeavoring to force the crowd off the track, and witness told him he need not do it, whereupon the officer told him he knew his business. Mr. Perry said he cons:dere¢ the officer was impertinent. Questioned by members of the trial board, Mr. Perry said the club had no men em- Ployed as special officers to handle the crowd and see that the rules were ob- served. He thought his remarks to the officer were rather sharp, and he said he argued the matter with the officer rather foolishly Some of the club members, he thought, might have violated the rules as well es others. On cross examination, witness said there was a bank behind where the crowd was collected, and he wanted the spectators to get over the bank. If they had movel over it in a proper way there would nave been no one injured. He denicd that he told the officer to “knock” the crowd, or that he advised the use ef the club, al- though he did ask why the officer had his club and badge. He said there was no par- lor language used between the officer and himself, for he was probably excited. - Russell’s Denial. ‘The roliceman denied that there was any intention on his part to be Insolent or disrespectful. During the past five years he has been detailed on the C. A. C. fleld a number of- times, and he has always done his best to assist the club. He was detailed there on the occasion named, he said, to cee that there was no breach of the peace or violation of the law, and not to assist in the enforcement of the rules of the club. So far as he understvod his duty, lie had no authority to make the spectators ob- serve the rules. (ERE The group of men on the ti was composed mostly of ¢fab mij all he could do was to a; ‘They had gone back about fore Mr. Perry made his*reqiest.

The officer added that if he was insolent or impertinent it was umintentional, and was brought about by the language ‘used by Mr. Perry.

E. convention in San Francisco, left Washington over the Pennsylvania railroad at 7:0 o'clock this morning. There were not so many as in the section which left Monday, but they made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers. A crowd of friends had assembled at the depot to see them take their departure. The delegates will reach Chicago tomor- row, and will leave that city for Denver, Col., at 10 p.m. over the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy railroad. They will arrive in Denver at 7 a.m. July 3.

Manager Williams of the Brightwood Company Denies a Rumor. Mr. Charles P. Williams, the general manager of the Brighiwood electric rail- road, was ask+d this morning what truth there was in the anrouncement in a local paper that an arrangement had been made whereby a free transfer of passengers would be adopted by his read and the Cap- ital Traction Company. “There is absolutely no truth in such an assertion,” said Mr. Williams. “No such idea has ever been entertained. The sug- gestion has been advanced by persons not connected with either company several times, but has never been considered by either company, so far as I know, and certainly not by the Brightwood company, which would simpiy be driven out of ex- istence under such an arrangement, as it is barely meeting its operating expenses at the present time, and a free transfer agreement would just about cut its re- ceipts in half. ‘As a matter of fact,” continued Mr. Williams, “the suburban railroads should be subsidized, as they have acted as the pioneers in the advancement of the inter- ests of the District of Columbia, and of the property holders of suburban real es- tate. Th> increase of the value of this real estate, due ertirely to the means of communication afforded by the suburban roads, has resulted in an increase of the Teceipts from taxation.” ._—_>— An isht in the Water. Albert Vaughan, an aged and esteemed citizen of Culpeper, Va., met with a seriazus and perhaps fatal accident near that place Monday night. In crossing a stream he was seized with vertigo and fell into the water.
