Bell Telephone 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 8, 1898. The Alexandria Light Infantry held its regular weekly meeting and drill last night. There was an exceptionally large attend- ance. This was due perhaps to the “war scare,” as “the boys” say they want to get the company in good shape. They paraded the principal streets after going through the manual of arms at the arm- ory. This organization, under command of Capt. Albert Bryan, is rapidly advancing toward its old place as the crack company, not alone of the 3d Regiment, but of the state. Capt. Bryan has ordered a court-martial for Wednesday night, at which fourteen men will be tried for non-attendance at drills. It is said that when the company goes out on parade or when they are call- ed upon for service, as they were on more than one occasion by ex-Gov. O’Ferrall, the men turn out-with a will, but many of them shirk the regular weekly practice drills, and it is to reach these that the court-martial nas been called. Under the new regulations, First Lieut. Leonard Marbury will constitute the court. Capt. Bryan says it is his intention to court-martial such men as are delinquent until he gets the company on an Al foot- ing, even if he has to reduce the number to a large extent. There are many young men who will be glad to enlist when the company gets on this basis. Now that the gymnasium is in good working order, the members of the com- pany have a plenty to amuse them after the arill is over. Struck Him With an Ax. Charles Baltimore, a well-known cc-ored character, appeared at police headquarters last night and asked for a warrant against Edward Magoings, whom he charged with assault. It is stated that the two men got into a difficulty over some trivial matter and Baltimore was getting the best of it when, he claims, Magoings struck him in the head with an ax, inflicting a uangerous wound. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson imposed a fine of $5 on Ma- goings, e Police Court.

Peddlers Without License. Harrie Williams, Arthur Cromwell and Frank Boston, three Washington negroes were arrested by Officer Young yesterday evening for peddling jewelry without a li- cense. They giive the officer considerable trouble. In thé police court this morning they were fined $10 each. Funeral of W. A. Smith. The funeral of William A. Smith took place yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock from his late residence, No. 609 Scuth Washing- ton street. Rev. 5{ T.

Smith arrested Edward Green, colored, who was charged with gambling in Fairfax county.

Senate’s Action Touching Street Cleaning Highly Gratifying. The District Commissioners are very much gratified because of the action of the Senate yesterday in adding to the Dis- trict appropriation bill an item providing that $30,000 of the amount appropriated for sprinkling and sweeping the streets and alleys of the District may be expend- ed under the immediate direction of the Commissioners, without contract. Under this provission of the bill the Commission- ers will be empowered to take up the con- tracts which expire next June, and also extend the hand-cleaning system by the employment of day labor. In speaking of the matter today Mr. Warren Stutler, the superintendent of the street cleaning department, said: “The contract for cleaning improved al- leys expires the 30th day of June next, and part of the amount so appropriated will enable us to do that work under the di- rection cf the Commissioners without con- tract. “It will also enable us from and after June next to extend the hand-cleaning system to the additional territory provid- ed for by the increase in appropriation. This work will not deprive the present contractor of any ‘work to which he is justly entitled junder his contract, but it will enable the, Commissioners to further demonstrate that tte work can be better done and at les¥ cost to the District than if done under ¢éntract, at the same time paying better wages for the labor re- quired.” MEETING OF LABOR LEADERS. Central Union Considers Matters of / - Importanece.to the Trades. The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Unidti Was held last evening and was largely attended.

Church, which was held last evening at Metropoli- tan Church, corner of 4% and C streets northwest, was attended by the largest audience which has ever assembled in Washington on a similar occasion. At 7:30 o'clock, the time set for the beginning of a song service, there was not a vacant seat in the ¢rcat auditorium, either on the floor or in the galleries on either side, and scores of chairs which had been placed in the aisles were also occupied. The standing space in the aisles was also taken. To ac- commodate the overflow the Sunday school room on the first floor was opened, and that was likewise speedily filled. The exercises were in charge of the re- tiring president, Rev. A. H. Thompson of Baltimore, with Mr. Roland Roderick of Washington as director of music. After prayer by Rev. E. Laurence Hunt, D.
