Board of Health at Work Abating Nuisances—Police Court Cases General News. Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King street, Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 11, 1807. There is a great deal of complaint about the alleged unhealthy condition of the first ward, due, it is claimed, to the large crop of weeds growing in that section and the filthy conditicn of the Wilkes street tun- nel of the Southern Railway Company. The attention of the health office has been called to this state of affairs, and it is said a remedy will at once be provided to a@ away with the nuisances. There have been a number of cases of typhoid fever in this ward of late, among the patients be- ing Miss Annie Tyler, Mrs. Willlam Cline, Mr. H. R. Burke and Mrs. Annie Freaker, all of whom heve been very ill. One death from typHoid fever was re- ported last night, that of Mrs. Ernest Craven, who leaves a husband and two young children. Mrs. Craven was not quite twenty years old. Policeman Knight this morning reported that the tunnel had been cleaned out, and the mayor ordered that the place be thor- oughly limed. Some twenty-five other places considered in an unhealthy condi- tion were reported to the authorities, and it was ordered that the places be cleaned by_Menday. . Every precaution is being taken by the health officer to have the city placed in a first-class sanitary condition. City Couneil. There will be another called meeting of the city council next Monday evening for the purpese of considering several matters of importance to the city. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpsor disposed of the following cases: Rebecca Branson, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined $2.50; Howard Robinson, charged with assaulting Fanny Gray, was fined $5; Lena Coleman and Frank Wash- ington, charged with disorderly conduct, were fined $ each; Beverley Washington, charged with disorderly conduct and fight- ing, was fined $2.50. Vicious Dog Killed. Complaint was made at police headquar- ters agein this morning of the viciousness of the dog belonging to Mr. A. P. Ingram, who lives in Wheat & Suter’s subdivision. With Mr. Ingram’s consent, Officer Wil- kinson was crdered to shoot the dog. Loses the Privilege. The libel against the steamer Charles Macalester has caused the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company to lose its exclusive contract to land parsen- gers at Mount Vernon. Mrs. Townsend of New York, regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, has ordered that the wharf be closed for the present, and this gives the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway Company the only entrance to the grounds. The Public Schools. The public schools will begin their fal session Monday morning. A total of 2,177 permits have been issued, G94 to white boys -and 635 to white girls; 391 to colored boys and 465 to colored girls. This is the largest number issued in several years.

Capital Railway Unable to Meet De- mands Upon It. The Capital Railway Company was un- able last everling to handle the increased traffic offered from the Capital traction line and was obliged to abandon its line north of the Navy Yard bridge, ard, until the new dynamo, already ordered, can be put in place, there will be ro further attempt to operate it. A week or more must elapse before the new machinery can be made available. As was stated in The Star of last even- ihg, the exfensior of the new road- was opened to travel yesterday morning. Dur- ing the day everything moved splendidly, cach car being well filled with passengers: but soon after nightfall, when those living in the city who wanted to reach Congress Heights quickly began to wend their way thither, President Randle and Superinten- dent Brouthers realized that the dynamo and engines of the company could not with safety stand the increased strain, and with much reluctance the order was given to operate by electricity for the present only that portion of the line which is run by the overhead trolley. In spite of all that could be done to avert it, the current breaker in the power house came out repeatedly, and the shutting down of the underground part of the system became a matter of com- pulsion. When ike Capital Ratlway Company's line was projected, even the most enthusi- astic friend of the enterprise believed that a dynamo of 100-kilowatt capacity would be sufficient for all the demands upon the line for years to come, but the experience the past week convinced the management to the contrary. ‘The dynamo, which is now being con- structed by the Siemens-Halske Company, will be of 200-kilowatt capacity, and is ex- pected to easily furnish sufficient electric- ity to run at least fourteen or fifteen loaded cars without difficulty. The system of transfers between the Cap- ital railway end the Capital Traction com- Pantes at the junction of the two roads at the navy yard gate, which was also for- mally begun yesterday, will be continued and but one fare will in future be required to take the passenger from Con, Heights to Chevy Chase, and vice versa. ——.—__ 3 A Dangerous Counterfeit.

FOREIGN N-: EWS AND GOSSIP (Copyrighted, 1897, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, September 11.—The tour of the Duke and Duct.ess of York, which was con- tirued today at Glasgow, Scotland, where they met with an enthusiastic reception, forms @he subject of the heartiest congrat- ae in many quarters, particufarly in Ireland, where the people, politicians and others, admit it has donc a good deal for Irish trade. The duchess, for instance, accepted a Galway fisher cloak from Fa- ther Dooley. The cloak was made at a factory: which Father Dooley started in Galway, and already one hundred of these cloaks have been ordered, either in white cr crimgon. The latter color is correct. Another result of the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York to Ireland is that a reyal reeidence will in all probability be established in that country, and, in addi- tion, the early abolition cf the vice roy- alty is everywhere accepted as a fact. The duchess won all hearts and the duke was almost as popular, though he did not es- cape-criticism. This, hcwever, was princi- pally directed against bis clothes. One paper said: “It is a pity he had a breast pocket in tis cout, as it geve his left forepart a rath- er overcrowded and overdone appearance, as he has not attained the proportions of his father and his; forepart is not wide enough to allow this. His vest’s bottom button was ‘unbottoned ond gave him an air of nonchalance. The trousers of his suit were wretched. They appeared to be a kind of concertina around the ankles.” Shadow of a Famine. Across the rejoicings, however, fall the shadows of the coming famine. The ‘Daily Nation, after getting a letter from every pastor of a parish in rural Ireland, says: | “Since black ’47 the Irish laborer has never faced a winter more promising of privation.” The harvest is as bad as can be in the west of Ireland, and it is pretty sure that there will be cot only a food, but a fuel famine. Not only are the potatoes rotting in the ground with the grain crops beaten down by rain and not worth reaping, Lut the turf cut will not dry. Unless there is exceptional weather within the next few days, a famine ts a éertairity. Everything in connection with the visit of President Faure to Russia was thought out with diplomatic cleverness, and in- stances of this are leaking out every day. As an example of the tact employed, it is pointed out that the French president tcok with him three speaking dolls, as presents to the Grand Duchess Olga, the elder of the two daughtersiof the czar and czarina. One of these dolls was: dressed like a child, in white mustin,:witk a pale blue surah blouse. When» taken ‘from the trunk in which it had been packed, the doll spoke, saying: - qT ne . “Bon jour, ma petité mammam. What » nice dream I :drearht. I thought you brought me a nice doy, which laughed, talked and sang just as:well as I do.” Then the doll sang “Ah, Mon Beau Chat- eau’’ and “Le Petit Tambour.” The second doll: was. dressed as a grand lady, wearing apai¢! blue’ silk costume sprigged with rosebuds, a richly feathered hat and a green)ivelyét mantle trimmed with swansdown and carrying a white sun- shade. This doll also'had in her wardrobe @ tailor-made costume and a bail dress. The third doll represented a French peas- ant girl, and her: wardrobe consisted of French national costumes. The ” latter originally included a' fac sim‘le of the cos- tume worn by the peasant girls of Alsace- Lorraine. But the protocol objecting her wardrobe was confined to the costumes of Normandia and Brittany, with real pro- vincla! jeweiry. Ceezx Tells Who He In. The czar recently filled up a cerisus paper in his own handwriting, giving his name and surname, “‘Romanov,” his social status as “czar 6f-all'the Russias,’" his profession as: “‘Master-of all the land of the ‘Russian empire,» and ‘giving as his accessory oceu~ pation that-of “landed proprietor and agri-- culturalist.” For the czarina the czar wrote, “‘Czarina of all the Russias; mistress of all. the Jand belonging. to: the Russian empire and patroness of all the houses of employment.” The will of the late ‘William . Lewis Winans, formerly of Baltimore, Md., who died here on June 25 last, leaving an estate valued at over $12,500,000, to be divided equally between his two sons, subject to an annuity of $25,000 to his wife and an- other of $10,000 to his sister-in-law, ex- presses the desire of the deceased that his son Lewis will marry, and that in selecting a wife he will take into serious considera- tion the advice which the deceased gave to his son Walter in a formal letter in 1880, and, if alive, to seek the consent of iis mother, who will reside with Lewis until her death. Murray, the publisher, is to present to the public Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett’s “The Battlefields of Thessaly.” It is an elaborote defense of the sultan. The writer claims the sultan desires to be friend!y with Great Britain; but, the author ads, the bad manners of Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador at Constantinople, pre- vent this. Ashmead Bartlett pays high compliments to the ability and shrewdness of the correspondent of the Associated Press who was in Armenia in 1894, und who disclosed the real facts regarding the terrible Armenian massacres, saying he was the only newspaper man who nad a real insight into the troubles in Armenia. The new weekly literary paper, in the highest sense of the term, is to appear in October under distinguished auspices. It will be edited by a leading man of letters, and will deal as fully with the American = with the continental and British: situa- ion. At the Doncaster yearlin, blood stocl sales during the week high prices ig reached. Sir Tatton Sykes, the famous Yorkshire sporting baronet, obtained 13,710 guineas for fourteen colts and fillies. Colts by St. Simon brought top prices, one being sold for 3,400 guineas, and another being knocked down at 2.200 guineas. A filly by Ben Dor was sold for 1,650 guineas. The theatrical season has fairly blos- somed, and the first nighters are over- whelmed with a surfeit of farce and melodrama. © ssc Lilian RusselVs/Engagement.

ERIN BLISS FAMILY TROUBLES Pauline is Allowed to See Her Sick Mother Daily. ‘The Child Has Been im a Local Insti- tution Ever Since She Disappeared Several Weeks Ago. Owing to the dangerous illness of Mrs. Buss, the wife of Dr. Ellis Bliss, the den- tist, the daughter of the couple, Pauline Bliss, has been permitted to see her mother, and spends the greater portion ef each day at the latter’s bedside, in the residence of Mrs. Byrnes, on Massachusetts avenue near 4th street northwest. This arrange- ment was brought about by Mr. Henry E. Davis, the attorney for Dr. Bliss, and Mr. Ashley M. Gould and Michael J. Colbert, the attorneys for Mrs. Bliss. It will be re- membered that considerable public interest was aroused some weeks ago by the publi- cation of facts concerning the domestic differences existing between Dr. Bliss and his wife. The parties had separated some time ago, and Pauline, who is a remark- ably pretty girl, about fourteen years of age, remained with her mother at Takema Park. She paid frequent visits to her father in this city, however, and on ihe occasion of her last one it was charged, in proceedings brought by Mrs. Bliss in the District court, praying a writ of habeas corpus for the production of the body of her daughter in cuurt by Dr. Bliss, that the latter had abducted the girl. Mrs. Bliss was lying dangerously ill from a reiapse, which, it was charged, was brought about by the doctor’s abduction of the child. She had been ill, it is suid, with typhoid fever, but was rapidly recovering when Pauline disappeared. The whereabouts of Dr. Bliss and the girl could not be ascertained. Friends of the former claimed that he pur- sued the course he did because his daugh- ter, who is a very attractive girl, was being brought up without any restraint whatever, and that he believed that zhe should, for her own good, be properly guided and protected. The serious condi- tion of Mrs. Bliss’ health, and the staie- ments of her attending physicians that the presence of her daughter might possibly help her toward recovery, led the attorneys above mentioned to bring the mother ana daughter together. It was developed yes- terday that Pauline had not been ‘aken away from the city, as supposed, by her father, but had been placed by him in a certain institution here. In case Mrs. Bliss recovers the proceedings under the writ of habeas corpus will be held. In case of the death of Mrs. Bliss, which is very prob- able, there will be no further proceedings, as the father will then be the only person having a right to her guardianship. IN THE CHURCHES The First Refcrmed Trinity Church and Grace Reformed are preparing to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the organization of the Reformed Church in America.
