There came to Washington the 10th of this month a young couple from Virginia for the purpose of being married. The young people were Mr. Edwin D. Wills of Lynchburg, Va., and Miss Bessie J. Kin- nier of Roancke, Va. Immediately after securing the recessary license they set out to find a minister. They inquired of a passing woman where they could find the pastor_of a near-by church$She directed them tovhis residence, when it was learned that he was cut of the city. His wife, however, called in a ministerial friend, who united the young people. The officiating minister failed, it is claimed, to give the young people the cer- tificate due them and had not up te noon today filed with the clerk of the court the one the law commands to be filed within ten days from the performance of the marriage. The young people state that the minis- ter who married them promised to prompt- ly mail a certificate of the marriage to the bride’s father at Roapoke, which he — to do. Unfortunately, the young people neg- lected to take the names or addresses of either the officiating minister or witnesses, and are unable to locate the place of their marriage. They are stopping at 206 -F street. The ten days within which the officiating minister should have made his return of the marriage to the clerk of the court expired yesterday, and he is there- fore subject, tpor conviction, to the pen- alty of not to exceed $230 nor less than $50, prescribed by law. ——— The Way of the World.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Disgracefal Scenes Nightly Enacted in the White Chapel District, Members of the City Bar to Attend Attorney Claughton’s Funeral— ‘ General and Personal. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st. (Bell Telephone No. 106.) ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 21, 1897. Almost nightly for the past week or ten days there has been rioting, fighting and disorder in the disreputable houses on North Lee street, known as the White Arrests and fines do not seem to have deterred in the least those who desire to create disorder, and last night at No. 316 North Lee street there was another of these disorderly scenes, in which one of the inmates, named Annie McCoy, was assaulted and badly beaten by Robert Arnold, a well-known Alexandrian, who was fined $2.50 by Mayor Simpson in the police court yesterday morning for ae orderly conduct in Chas. Zimmerman’s saloon. Nellie Dean, the proprietress, who went to the rescue of the McCoy woman, was alfnen the ecse was called in the police court the McCoy woman appeared, look- ing like she had been run through a threshing machine. The mayor fined Arnold twenty dollars for the offense. ‘Mayor Simpsen, it is said, has determined to put 2 stop to these scenes of disorder, and the police will be instructed to watch these houses closely in the future. Wm. 0. Johnson's Fuheral. ‘The funeral of Mr. William Osborn John- son, who died in West End yesterday morning, took place from the home of his avnt, Mrs. Bouffy, yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock. The funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. J. H. Butler, pastor ofthe First Baptist Church of this city. Held for Grand Jury. Jack Washington, the alleged assailant of Lizzie Washington, has been held by the Maryland authorittes for the October term of the Prince George’s county grand jury. Will Attend the Funeral. Mr. H. O. Claughton, who was killed by a train in Washington last night, was well known and highly respected in this city, where he resided for a number of years. A number of the members of the Alexandria bar, with whom he was associated in many cases of importance, will attend his fu- neral. Chichester’s Denial. George Chichester, who was before Mayor Simpson yesterday morning, charged with attempting to shoot a colored man named Bryant, and who was acquitted, called at The Star bureau this morning and said that the case was a put-up job on him; that the man, Walker, who had the pistol, would have shot Bryant had not he (Chi- chester) interfered and grabbed his arm. Gospel Tent Services. The gospel tent services last night were a great success as usual and the series closed with much good work having been done by those who have had the meetings in charge. Mr. Ridding, the missionary, has been untiring in his efforts. Brevities. Mr. James Whitheck had his hand badiy mashed at the Southern railway shops yesterday. Alexandria Council, Junior Order U. A.

The Third Regiment Field Band will break camp and return home Tuesday night. Mrs. T. A, Bull has sold a house and lot on Duke street to Mrs. Annie A. Hoy. Mrs. Charles B. Marshall is quite ill at her home, on Upper King street. a HUB SMITH IS HOME. He Says Washington is the Finest City in the Whole Wide Wor! Mr. Hubbard T. Smith, more familiarly known ang esteemed by the vast majority of Washingion people as ‘Hub’ Smith, has returned from Europe, and has been assigred to important duties in the State Department in cornection with the con- sular bureau. Mr. Smith left Washington a couple of years ago, having been ap- pointed to a responsible position in the consular service, and during the greater position of his stay abroad has been sta- tiuned in Constantinople. Intimacy with continentalism and constant exposure to the peculiar influences of European life, which sometimes have such # transform- ing effect upon young and_ susceptible Americans, have not affected “Hub” in any sense whatever. He is the same genial, urbane, broad-minded, witty, good fellow that he was when he packed his portmanteau and bade farewell to Wash- ington to the tune of “Listen to My Tale of Woe.”" He comes back with a greater ap- preciation of Washington and of its beauties and its attractions than he ever had before, and does not hesitate to say that he would sooner be a peanut stand in the national capital of the United States than a mosque with forty-seven minarets in the city of Constantinople. It will be very gratifying to Mr. Smith's friends to be informed that he does not propose to either write a book or to lecture on “The Eastern Question” or “What I Saw in Yewrup.” ee AN UNDERGROUND TROLLEY. Capital Railway Will Employ That Method on Anacostin Bridge. The cars of the Capital Railway Company will cross the Navy Yard bridge by means of an underground trolley. President A. E. Randle of the company was at the Commissioners’ office this morn- ing endeavoring to secure a permit which would allow the underground construction. In conversation with a reporter of The Siar he said: : “Well, The Star knocked me out in my application for an overhead trolley to cross the bridge, and I have just closed a con- tract with the Johnston Compatiy to put in an underground service across the bridge. The work will begin as soon. as I can get the permit. I am here this morn- ing peting after my application, and try- ing to hurry matters alon; Smooth Sidewalks, Thé sidewalks on the east side of Con- necticut avenue north of K street and on several of the intersecting streets running east of that thoroughfare are being im- proved by the laying of granolithic pave- ments, and the same smooth surfaces are being put down on the sidewalks of New York avenue between 4th and Cth streets, and in several other sections of the city. The comfort and pleasure which these smooth streets have given in the last few years since their introduction here has cu @ general demand for the introduc- tion all over the city, and in the course of a few years it is possible that brick side- walks will be found only in a few remote neighborhoods. —__--—- Protection for Passengers. Workmen are engaged in building an iron shed in front of Williams’ drug store, at the corner of 9th and F streets, over the twb thoroughfares, for the better pro- tection of the passengers of the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company, who ar= transferr2d at that junction from the F to the street Une and vice versa. The iron awning which has been in place there for several years. afforded little protection from weather. This condition impressed itself upon Mrp George H Harries, the late president of the company, and while he was directing its affairs he madé an arrangement with Druggist Williams by which the erection “the improvement iz fini: it will afford protection for @ very large crowd at one THE ORF a¢rar WEATHER MAP.— EXPLANATORY NOTB: Observations taken it $ a.m., %5th meridian time.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., August 20, 1897. The gates to the grounds of the Prince. George’s county fair were thrown open this morning for the fourth and last day of its annual meeting. The rays of the sun were felt in all their power throughout the day, but notwithstanding the intense heat the attendance was fully as large as that of the last day at ary previous fair. The races began at 1 o'clock, with Judges J. P. Ryon, Dr. R. S. Hill and Senator T. F. Greacen in the stand, the latter acting as starter, and Wm. G. Brook, timer. The first race was a half-mile trotting, best two in- three, only four starting. Lilly Dwyer, sold the favorite, won} Sable Rotk was second, and Little Kate third. The second race, a mile run, best two in’ three heats, was won by Avon, ridden by Keys; Dr. Jones second and Florine Hubbard third. Dr. Jones was favorite, selling at 3 to 5. . The third was for the Consolation purse of $100. This and the mule race were add- ed to the day’s program. It was a good race throughout, Rhymster winning just a neck ahead of Belle of the Grove, both horses selling at even money. The fourth race was the mule race. Four entries went to the post. A poor start was had, leaving Ben Lassing in the rear; soon the little fellow caught up and finally ran third to Domino, who was beaten out of first place by Hastings. ai The fifth race was the . steeplechase, which was won by Consolation, McFonso capturing second money and Harry Har- wood third. Lotion was ‘left at post and Hazlet fell over a hurdle, throwing her rider, but not hurting him. The ball given by the young gentlemen last evening was a grand success. It was held in the new Masonic Hall, which was crowded to overflowing. The hall. was beautifully decorated with bunting, flowers and evergreens. The Wilson Post Band of TRANSFER OF THE LIBRARY Work Temporarily Delayed in Order That Books May Be Ticketed. About 200,000 Books, Pamphiects a: Periodicals Have Been Already Sent Through the Chutes. The work of moving the volumes from the old Congressional Library to the new one has been suspended temporarily, in order to allow the assistants at the library to ticket the books properly. The transferral will begin again Monday, and the chutes will again be brought into requisition. The one on the east front of the Capitol was captured this morning by a number of small boys, who were amusing themselves by starting at the top and sliding to the bottom. They will be superseded next week by the boxes of books. Altogether about 200,000 books, pamphlets and periodicals have been transferred from the old quarters to the new ones. This morning several of the metallic disks, in- cluded in the copyright matter, used in the music boxes, with the score cut into them, were taken over. There ts a lot of such stuff to be moved, inciuding photo- graphs of celebrities, on which copyrights have been taken, and thousands of feet of films used in the machines attracting the public now whose names end with “scope.” These “life motion” photos are preserved with great care. Unfailing Attraeti The new library building continues ‘o be an unfailing attraction for visitors to the Capitol, as, notwithstanding the pres=nt “off season,” the place is visited daily by an average of a thousand persons. The great- est interest is manifested in everything per- taining to the addition to the magnificent public buildings of Washington. Books of reference containing information on the subject of the library are seen in the hands of nearly every one. The class of visitors, the watchmen say, is above that visiting any other of the government bulld- ings. The habit of ejecting tobacco spit on the marble floors has not been practiced there, as it frequently is in many of the buildings. Impressed by Its Beauty. As a young lady with her escort passed down one of the corridcrs today she stop- ped for a moment, then was heard to hum softly, “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls.” It was noticed that ti young man who was with her did not smile at her sentimentality, either. Most of the persons visiting the place seem to be pro- foundly impressed with its beauty and magniticence, and simply walk about and stare at the architectural splendors, but say little. “I never did see a place where people had as little to say,” one of the watchmen said to the reporter today, “and I have been detai'ed in public buildings before. But, Lord! how they do stretch their eyes. I tell you, the American people know a pretty thing when they see it.” The library in the Capitol is closed now, owing to the confusion existing from the removal of the volumes. ee CALLERS MUST STAND. General Wreckage of Commissioner Butterworth'’s Chairs. The Commissioner of patents has a hand- some and large office room, but today there are but two or three chairs in it, and they have been borrowed from adjoining rooms. This poverty of chairs was brought about during the investigation with the charges against the firm of Wedderburn & Company, when the lookers-on made them- selves so comfortable on the cane covered settees and chairs that they broke through the bottoms of all of them. Now the two large settees and five chairs are in the re- pair shop, and the commissioner is forced to allow most of his visitors to stand, which is not a very good plan, for it cuts many of their visits short. ~ Yucatan and Belize Boundary. The text of a new treaty between Great Britain and Mexico relating to the Mexi- can use of the waters of Belize, the Britisn colony of Central America, has been re- ceived here. It was concluded by Sir Henry ! Neville Deering and Senor Mariscal on August 3 and grants in perpetuity to the merchant vessels of Mexico absolute lib- erty of navigation of the waters cf the Brit- ish possessions in that locality. It also sets forth the boundary between Yucatan and Belize, and to that extent gains Mex- ico’s adherence to the existing boundary. ————-e+-=__ Colored Bishop Dead. The Rev.

The twin screw torpedo boat destroyer Thrasher and the second class twin screw cruiser Pheaton, which started from Ply- month, England, for the Pacific station, have returned to Plymouth, both being bad- ly damaged through the rough weather which they encountered. Thursday night the Thrasher got across the bows of the Pheaton and the coxswain of the torpedo boat destroyer was knocked overboard and drowned. ———§_~22____ Congratulating Uruguay's President Word reaches here that Granville Stuart, the United States minister to Uruguay, has made a personal call on the president of that republic, to convey to him the con- gratulations of-President McKinley on the failure of an attempt made on the life of the Uruguayan president by Revecca, a crazy student, some two months ago. —_—o—____ Postage Stamps for Peru.
