MAYOR'S EFFORTS ICATE VICE Opening of the Démotratic Cam- paign Saturday Evening Next. GENERAL AND PERSONAL Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 11, 1897. It has been openly hinted at intervals lately that policy games have been again opened in their old haunts in this city, but no attempt has as yet been made to arrest any of the offenders. In fact, it is be- lieved that many members of the police force are afraid to put their hands on the matter since Sergeant Smith and Officer Fergusson have been made to travel such a hard road on account of their policy raids of last winter. 5 It is known, however, that Sergeant Smith has been at work for some time gathering evidence against these policy men, and when the time is ripe they will be raided. Sunday liquor selling is also said to be on the increase. This morning Mayor Simpson, who has all along been very lenient with the men, trusting that they would do their duty, decided to take a very firm stand. He has issued orders that each and every man shall commence at once to note anything of a suspicious character occuring cn his beat, and a written report must be made to the mayor of these matters every Mon- day morning. If it be found that the officers overlook anything important they will be shifted, and if the new man fails in the same case, then the matter will be reported to the board of police commissioners, and the mayor will advise a complete reorganization of the police force. Mayor Simpson is determined that there shall be no policy playing, gambling or Sunday liquor selling during his a.dmin- istration. and he has several compecent and efficient officers wnom he can count on to help him out in the matter. The mayor is highly commenied for this ac- tion, as it is believed by many that the evils complained of will never be stamped cut until there is a reorganization. > Thefe is pleuty of good material on the force, but some of the officers are said to be afraid, while others are believed to be urder the control of the gambling element. The Sunday Services. The congregations in the various churches yesterday were larger than usual. In all except the Second Presbyterian the resi- dent rectors officiated. The pulpit of the Second Presbyterian Church was filled by Rev. A. B. Saunders of Fredericksburg, the rector, Rev. J. E. Thacher, being ill. At the evening services in the Methodist Protestant Church Rev. Frank T. Benson preached the first of a series of sermons to men, taking as his subject: “The Closing‘ Year of the Nine- teenth Century—The Crisis of Manhood.” It was listened to by a large congregation. One of these sermons will be preached every Sunday night. At the railroad reading rooms services were held in the large auditorium yester- day afterncon commemorative of the for- mation of the institution, and there was a large crowd in attendance. Rev. S. A. Wallis, D.D., of the Virginia Theological Seminary was the preacher of the occasion. This work was started some years ago by students of the Episcopal Theological Semi- nary, and they have been conducting it ever since. A program of very excellent music was rendered. The students are aided very much in their work by a com- mittee of young men known as the “read- ing room workers.” Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson disposed of the following cases: John O'Neil, vagrancy; thirty days in the chain gang. Etta Grooms, disorderly con- duct; fined $2.50. Margie Pendleton, dis- orderly conduct; fined $2.50. Catharine Timbers, assaulting and _ beating Sallie Jonnson; fined $2.50. Walter Washington, disorderly conduct; fined $2.50. Washing- ton was also held on suspicion of stealing a watch from Robert Ashby. Frank Payne, refusing to work on chain gang, was given the bread -d water diet. Democratic Campaign. The democratic campaign will open in this city Saturday night with J. Hoge Tyler, the democratic nominee for gov- ernor, as the principal speechmaker. Chair- man O. F. Carter of the city democratic committee has called a meeting of the committee for tonight, when the arrange- ments for what it is thought will be an old- time democratic rally will be made. It has been suggested that State Senator George A. Mushback shall preside over the meeting and make the opening address, to be followed by Coionel Louis C. Bailey, the regular democratic nominee for the house of delegates. Arrangements will, as usual, be made for the ladies, who are generally very enthusiastic, and the entire gallery of the Opera House will be reserved for their use. The 3d Virginia Regiment Field Band will be engaged to discourse music for the oc- casion. Colonel Bailey will be opposed for the house of delegates by Mr. Horace Swain, who has announced himself as an independ- ent candidate and who is making an active canvass. Mutual Ald Society. Dan Corbin, a well-known character, who figures frequently in the police court, is said to be organizing a mutual aid soctety. ‘The members are to pay assessments cf so much a week, and when one of them is ar- rested and fined the amount is to be taken from the fund, and thus keep the offender from going to jail. The City Council. Tuesday night the first regular fall meet- ing of the city council will be held. There is much work of vast importance to the city to be disposed of during the coming winter, and it is hoped the progressive members will be able to be of as much ben- efit to the city as they apparently would like to be, notwithstanding the opposition of the old fogies who oppose improvement. Marriage Announcements, ‘The bands of matrimony were announced yesterday in St. Mary’s Church between Mr. George E. Bradley and Miss Catherine Dougherty, and Mr. Fyancjs T. Quinn and Miss Mary Rafferty. “ It is announced that Mr. Thomas Hannon of this city and Miss Fiectcfer of Washing- ton will be married tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. The. wedding will take place at St. Patrick’s Church,’ Washington, D. C. The bridal party will then'leave for a two weeks’ tour, with Niagara Falls as the ob- Jective point. 8 New Express Agent Appointed. The friends of Mr. iChafles Geisendoffer of this_elty, who has’been‘‘acting agent of the Adams Express Compghy so efficiently and courteously since the death of Mr, R. H. Moore, regret to learn that he will not be permanently appointed; but that the position has been filled bysithe selection of a Mr. Lambert of Waskington. Alexan- drians think that an Alexandrian should have been“ appointed. His Leg Broken, _ The Central High Schoo} foot ball eleven was defeated in.a game of foot ball by the Episcopal High School team, near this city, Saturday afternoon, by a score of 6 to 2. During, the course-of the game Mr. Craig Ainsley of this city, son of Mr. H. C. Ainsley, treasurer of the. Southern. Rail: way Company, who was playing on the Episcopal team,*had his leg broken between the knee and ankle. Howard and Slaughter reduced the fracture.

There will also be about seventy lay del- egates from the various churches com- posing the synod, but their names will aot be known until the roll is made up by the secretary tomorrow afternoon. Probably the most interesting portion of the proccedings, so far as the membership is concerned, outside of the election of president, secretary, treasurer and mem- bers of the examining committee, will be the choice of members of the various standing committees whose terms expire this year. These are: Trustees of Tressler Orphans’ Home, the incumbents being Rev. Drs. Studebaker and W. H. Dunbar: the education committee, Re J. G. Butier, 1 C. Burke, P. H. Miller, L. Kuhlman and A. Homrighous; the advisory board of home missions, Revs. S. A. Diehl, ner, P. H. Miller, S. A. Hedges and M. L. Beard; the apportionment committee, Revs. P. H. Miller, M. L. Beard, O. C. Roth, G. S. Bowers and Mr. F. W. Kaffel, and the committee on resolutions, Revs. George Beiswanger, R. L. Patteson and E. Felton. ‘The term of Rev. C. 8S. Albert, D.D., as a director in the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, will also expire, and it is prob- able that, while Dr. Albert will be chosen his own successor, an additional director will also be elected, as the synod will be entitled to one more member of the board than it has heretofore had, provided the roll of its membership exceeds more than cne hundred ministers. This, it is believed, will be the case, as several young men, now candidates for the ministry, are expected to be admitted in this connection during the sitting of the convention. President Trump Will Preside. The meeting of the synod will be called to order promptly at 2 p.m. tomorrow by the president, Rev. C. 8. Trump of Martins- burg, W. Va. After devotional exercises and the completion of the organization for the convention President Trump will make bis annual report, as will also the educa- tional committee. It is expected that these matters will occupy the attention of the synod during the whole of the afternoon session. At 7:30 o'clock the synodical com- munion will be celebrated. In this service oniy the ministerial and lay delegates will perticipate. The communion address will be delivered by Rev. D. F. Garland. It is probable that at the close of this meeting the president will announce the appointment of a number of committees and declare the synod ready for business. Wednesday day sessions will be devoted to general business, but in the evening ad- dresses will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Zim- merman, Rev. R: L. Patterson and Rev. G. C. Hasskarl. Thursday’s morning and afternoon ses- sions wili also be devoted to general busi- ness, but in the evening the ordination of twelve young men, who are candidates fors| the ministry will take place. Five of these have arleady been licentiates for one year and will be admitted to full membership, and the others wili be taken on trial for one year. The music for this occasion is expected to be quite a feature, and will be rendered by a quartet composed of Mrs. C. B. Rheem, contralto; Mrs. W. C. Parson, soprano; Mr. Pugene Stevens, bass, and Mr. W. D. McFarland, tenor, with’ Mrs. Nettie Barry, organist. During the even- ing Mr. McFarland will, by request, sing the tenor solo from the oratorio of the Messiah, “If With All Your Hearts You Truly Seek Him.” Examination of Candidates. The members of the examining commit- tee will meet at the Church of the Refor- mation tomorrow at 9 o'clock for the pur- post of examining the candidates for the ministry above referred to. The committce is composed of Revs. Drs. W. H. Dunbar, C. 8. Albert, S. W. Owen, M. Valentine and P. M. Bikle. The ladies of the Church of the Reforma- tion will see that the delegates to the synod: are made to feel at home during their stay in Washington. Luncheon will be served in the lecture room of the church Wednesday and Thursday about noon. Rev. V. Milier, Leitersburg, Md., is secrc- tary of the synod, and Mr. W. H. James, Baltimore, treasurer. ——__ TAKOMA PARK. ‘The town council of Takoma Park held its regu- Jar meeting last Monday night and transacted con- siderable routine business. It was decided, owing to the impracticability of completing the work of grading for the proposed granolithic sidewalks in safficlent time, it being inexpedient to’ lay the walks in freezing weather, to repeal the ordinance bearing on the subject of walks and also the order for a special election, which yas to have occurred today, postponing the matter until next spring. ‘The sidewalks now in the town will be placed in # serviceable condition for the winter, and temporary walks constructed in sections where it is essential. ‘The premises of Bailiff E.
