Military Affairs, Evening Star Bureau, 529 King Street. Bell Telephone 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 28, 1898. A dispatch was received at police head- quarters last night from John Davis of Haymarket, Va., requesting that the police leok out for Frank Dennis, aged twenty- five years, about six feet high and weigh- ing abeut 175 pounds. The dispatch stated that Dennis had sandy hair and mustache and dark eyes, and that he had run away from Haymarket yesterday with Davis’ young wife. Mrs. Davis was described as about five feet five inches tall, with dark hair and dark gray eyes. Davis stated that Dennis and Mrs. Davis had “skipped with $118" of his money. Lieut. Smith, accompanied by Officers Ticer and Davis, located the couple at the Braddock House. Mr. Davis at Hay was notified and will arrive in this city is fternoon to determine what action he will take in the matter. - When the couple was searched only $17 was found en M Davis’ person. She stated she had given a hundred dollars to her niece to take care of for her. “Patience” Last Night. There was a large crowd at the Opera House last night to witness the presenta- tion of the comic opera ‘Patience,’ by “Sharps and Flats,” the local musical or- ganization. No one was disappointed, for the opera was rendered almost perfectly. The singing and .acting of Mr. Charles Moore of Washington deserves especial mention. Mr. Moore sang in “Pinafore,” presented by the same organization, with great effect, and his work in “Patience” was up to the high standard set by him. s Mai Greenwall met with the success e has always had whenever she has sung before an Alexandria audience. Her clear, voice was at its best, and she encores during the evening. Mr. William Bryan and Mr. George Evans sang in their usuai good form. Officers Elected. The following officers have been elected by Golden Light Lodge, I. 0. G. T.: C. T. Andrew Sullivan; V. T., Miss Anna Lucas; secretary, James Bruin; financial secretary, John Bartlett; treasurer, George Belen; marshal, Ernest Lyles; chaplain, Miss Ruth Wood; guard, H. Baker; sentinel, F. Bart- lett. A meeting of the stockholders of the Jan- ney Car Coupler Company was held in this city today, when the following officers were elected: Major E. H. Janney, president; Col. K. Kemper, secretary, and Messrs. Arthur Herbert, bk. S. Leadbeater, C. F. Travelli, R. E. Janney, J. T. Burk and R, F. Knox, directors. The Alexandria Light Infantry. It fs not now expected that the Alexandria Light Infantry will receive orders from the adjutant general of the state militia to move to Richmond before Monday, at the earliest, and possibly rot before Wednes- day next. Members of the company are very impa- tient, hoping that each hour will bring an er to move. They have been in read- ss for e number of days. Every man has his uniform at heme ready to put on at a moment's notice. Knapsacks are pack- ed and haversacks ready to receive the necessary rations. The company equip- ment at the armory is ready to be loaded ov wagons for transfer to the train. The id band of the 3d Regiment is also ready to move at a moment's notice. It is understood the delay in mobilizing the Virginia troops at Richmond is due to the fact that Gov. Tyler has no money at his command with which to defray the necessary expenses. This difficulty, how- ever, it is understocd, has been overcome by_a promise of the Secretary of War to defray the expense of mobilization out of government funds. United in Marriage. Miss Bessie Porter Renner and Mr. J. Dennis Massey of Baltimore were married at the Methodist Episcopal Church South at 7:30 o'clock last night. Rev. J. Howard Wells p2rformed the ceremony. Miss Jen- nie Coffin acted as maid to the bride, and Miss Lillian Nelson was the flower girl. The groom was attended by Mr. F, Feagan of Baltimore. ‘The church was handsomely decorated with palms, potted plants and cut flowers. A number of friends from Washington, Bal- timore and this city attended the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Massey left for a short wed- ding tour. They will mak their home in Baltimore. Mr. Augustus Pohl and Miss Mary Power, daughter of Mr. Frank Power, superintend- ent of the Alexandria water works, were married at St. Mary’s Church at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the pres2nce of a large number of friends. The ceremony was an especially impressive one. Rev. Father H. J. Cutler, assist2d by Rev. Father F. X. McCarthy, officiated. No Arrests Made. Alexandria has been especially quiet dur- ing the past twenty-four hours. Not a sin- gle arrest has been made by the police dur- ing that period. Mayor Simpson had no cases b2fore him for trial in the police court this morning. A number of tramps were given lodging at police headquarters last night. No Need for Janitor. Mr. Marshall L, King, collector of cus- toms for the port of Alexandria, has been notified by the Treasury Department that the position of janitor of tha customs build- ing, which has been filled for several years by S. P. Smith, must be abolished May 1. After that date the duties of the janitor will be discharged by two colored laborers. No Meeting of Aldermen. According to the rules of the board.of aldermen, a quorum failing to cppear at the regular meeting night, a meeting was led for last night. When the time of 2ssemblying came there were only three members present, Messrs. William H. Mar- bury, president; Mr. Hinken of the third ward and Mr. Havenner of the first ward. As there was noi a quorum, of course no business could be transacted and the body adjourned until the’ next fegular meeting of council. There is much criticism of the apparent lack of interest some of the mem- bers of the city council appear to take in the affairs of the city. Brevities. The Catholic fair, which has been run- ning nightly for the past two weeks, will, it is sald, close tonight. Mrs. George H. Hinken is quite ill at her home on Upper Queen street. ‘The funeral of the lats Mrs. Elizabeth T. Worthington took piace at ‘Clarens,” on Seminary Hill, this afternoon at o'clock. Mrs. Hattie V.

The larceny of a stone roller, weighing more than a ton, was reported to the po- lice last night by Mr. E. 8. Potter of 507 B street northeast. The roller, Mr. Potter explains, was taken from Delaware avenue and B streets northeast by two colored men. Descriptions of the men were fur- nished the police. AMUSEMENTS. JOHN DREW.—Seats went on sale this morning at the National Theater box office for the engagement of Mr. John Drew, which begins at that house Monduy even- ing next, to continue for a week, including matinees Wednesday and Saturday. It is not often that Mt. Charles Frohman’s pol- ished star visits Washington twice in a season. He was seen here earlier this year in the brilliant Dumas-Grundy comed: of manners, “A Marriage of Convenienc and Manager Rapley is to be congratulated on his successful effort to bring him back in a play of an altogether different ehar- acter as well as one entirely new to Wash- ingtcn. It is called “One Summer’s Day,” a title which suggests much of the environ- ment of the characters. Its story is voted idyllic and interesting. It is simply a love story, garnished with much of the merri- ment of true comedy, with plenty of healthy, really human sentiment, and a suggestion of outdoor life in summer time that is declared to be delightful. The first two acts wiil show a sunlit grove on a very picturesque Thames island, while the last act will introduce the characters on a moonlit lawn on the same historic river. Mr. Drew’s character is said to fit him admirably. He is given many delicious comedy lines; he, as the hero of the play, sacrifices to make that do not involve him in a sea of sickly sentimentality, and he is said to shine well in the pathos of the story without descending to the danger line of pathos. The play is considered clever in its differentiation of the charac- ters, and every member of Mr. Drew's perfectly balanced support is given clear- cut work to do. Miss Isabel Irving, Miss May Buckley, Miss Ida Vernon, Miss Bijou Fernandez and Mrs. Deios King are the‘ladies of the company, while the gen- tlemen irclude Messrs. Arthur W. Byron, D. H. Harkins, James O. Barrows, Frank E. Lamb, Morgan Coman and others. WILTON LACKAYE'S NEW PLAY.— Wilton Lackaye, heading his own company, appears at the Lafayette Square Opera House next Monday in a new play by Theo- dcre Burt Sayre, entitled “Charles O’Mal- ley.” It is a dramatization of Charles Lever’s famous novel of the same name, and is in four acts. In the first half of the play the scene is laid in Ireland. The last two acts occur in Barcelona. Having interested his audience and established the Irish “atmosphere” of his play the author boldly cuts loose from the novel and branches out on his own work. It would seem that he does so wisely, for the plot he invents is ingenious, the language witty and concise, the action sustained and the denouement original. In one act O'Malley personates the fair Judy McCann, sings he Widow Malone, Ochone,” and wins his wager. In act two he fs shot in a duel with his rival, but wins his swectheart's love. In act three he is: falsely accused of treason, overpowered and arrested, bt not before he has saved the honor of the wife of his commanding officer. In act four his fate is in doubt up to the very end of the play, and what that end fs will not be told until the first performance. ee GRADUATING EXERCISES. Diplomas to Classes of Martyn Col- lege of Elocation. The annual graduation exercises of the Martyn College of Elocution were held in the college hall last night.

After a hearing Wefore Judge Hagner in Equity Court No. 2, late yesterday after- noon, an order was issued directing Louis Tilghman of 314 I street southeast to sur- render to Caroline Meredith the infant grandson of the latter, Oliver Roy M dith. The hearing was under a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by Caroline Meredith and naming Tilghman as respond- ent. The father of the child, who is also the son of the petitioner, is Frank Meredith, an enlisted man in the navy, now serving on the United States steamer Minneapolis. The child’s mother, Lucy Meredith, was a stepdaughter of the respondent. At the death of the mother her stepfather took possession of the child, and it was charged refused to turn it over to the care of its paternal grandmother, although the child's father has directed that such be done. Therefore resort to law was taken. The attorney for the petitioner was Mr. Woodbury Wheeler, Mr. B. F. Leighton representing the respondent. METROPOLITAN EXTENSION. Materials Necessary for the Work Now in Hand. General Manager Coleman of the Metro- politan Railroad Company notified the Dis- trict Commissioners yesterday afternoon that the materials to be used in the exten- sion of the company’s tracks from 9th and U streets to Brightwood avenue had been received from the manufacturers, the Penn- sylvania Steel Company. The delay in the delivery of the materials has seriously re- tarded the work of constructing the exten- sion, but upon their arrival Contractor Saxton was directed to resume operations at once and push the work to completion. Work, the company hopes, will be com- pleted, weather permitting, inside of thirty days. ed Fine wheels at Sloan’s tomorrow at 12 m. No prices. Dealers should attend.—Advt. ———_—_ Removal of Ashes. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I noticed recently several communications urging that the removal of ashes be done by the authorities, the same as the gar- bage is removed. So it ought to be, as it is obvious that it could be much better and more efficiently done in that way than by leaving it to individual citizens, many of whom neglect it, especially in the alleys and among the poor. It could be done for less than it now costs the individual citi- zens, But it is not owing to want of effort on the part of the Commissioners, as G. seems to suppose, for they have urged it time and again. The trouble is with the District committees, or with Congress, who so far have refused to authorize it. I therefore suggest to G., and all who @esire to have it done, that they should use their influence with representatives and senators, and es- pecially with the members of the House and Senate District committees. It would seem to be a proper subject for the board of trade to take hold of. A con- certed effort would no doubt in time ef- fect it. W. C. DODGE.

Substantial Suecess Achieved and a Large Temple Fund Foundation Securcd—Results of Voting. The national Masonic fair and exposition, which has attracted so many thousands to Convention Hall and the armory annex, came to a close last night, and a crowd Jarger perhaps than any which had at- tended previously was present to give the final scenes gay and brilliant touches. Many of the booths had already disposed of their entire stock in trade, and the as- sistants at these lent their energies to helping the others to get rid of the articles still on hand. Auctions were added to fa- cilitate the cleaning up process, and owing to the generous character of the crowd ex- cellent prices were obtained for articles. The voting contests were animated, and when the ballot boxes were removed to the board of control room at 9 o'clock great interest was manifested while the re- turns were awaited. There was some dis- appointment when it was announced that the board had decided that the voting in the contests for the punch bowl, command- er’s jewel, Blue Lodge and commandery jewels, gold watch, typewriter and Knights Templar uniform would be continued until May 7. The results in the other contests under control of the board were announced about 10:30 o'clock. The library of 500 vol- umes for the most popular police precinct was won by the first precinct; the plumb- er’s assistant’s outfit, by J. Carl Daniell; letter carrier's bicycle, by J. W. Blumer; typewriter, by Miss Bertie Hauser; brass crib, by Margaret Hudson; Shrine jewel, by Frederick J. Miller; Elks’ pin, by J. H. Leonhardt, and the Haviland dinner set, by Miss L. Walker. Mrs. Cyms C. Coombs was voted the or- der for the seventy-five-dollar tailor-made dress contributed to New Jerusalem Lodge at tha fair by Mr. Edward Zea. Ticket 280 was voted the lady's bicycle given by Mr. Lasley of the Eclipse Company, and Mr. Harry Cunningham was the successful competitor for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad ticket to Chicago. A considerable amount of fair stock was left over, the disposition of which will be determined by the board of control. ‘The enterprise has been eminently suc- cessful in every particular, and its substan- tal results will be pleasing in the extreme to the promoters of the project to erect a national Masonic temple in this city. When the books are closed and all the re- celpts and expenditures tabulated there is no doubt felt that a balance of at least $50,000 will be placed to the credit of the temple fund. ——— Legion Ladies Volunteer. A regular meeting of the Legion of Loyal Wemen was held last Monday evening. The patriotic ladies of this organization unanimously tendered their services to Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross Society of the United States, and avowed their willingness to assi any way she might designate. evening much business ¥ transacted, and a number of new members added to the rolls, —_——__ Limiting Franchises. The council of the Civic Cénter has ap- proved the principle of Senator Pettigrew's Proposal for Mmiting franchises to definite terms of years by the adoption of a reso- lution on the subject. It recites that “in the opinion of the council of the Civic Cen- ter of Washington future grants of street railway franchises, either for new lines or for extensions, and of other franchises in- volving the use of the streets, avenues and other highways of the District should be only for limited terms of years.” ee Navy of the Revolution. At the monthly meeting of the Sons of the American Revolution at Rauscher's last evening a paper on the American navy during the revolutionary war was read by Admiral J. A. Greer. Many ladies were present at the recep- tion which followed the business meeting. The next meeting of the soctety will not take place until fall. It has been decided that the annual excursion of the society will be to Leesburg, Va., some time during next month. The committee in charge of the meeting last night was composed of John B. Wight, chairman; William H. Pearce, John P. Earnest, Wm. E. Curtis, Lloyd B. Wight, Sumner A. Taintor and Francis E. Leupp. Secu Surprise to Grand Commander. Members of the district degree team of the United Order of the Golden Cross made a descent unannounced, last night, on the home of grand commander A, H. Fiegen- baum, in Northeast Washington.

A meeting of the students of the Colum- bian Law School was held last evening to consider the adoption of a system which would tend to discourage cheating at ex- aminations. It was proposed that the stu- dents take the matter in hand, as is now the practice in many of the leading uni- versities of the country. A plan was proposed by Mr. McLean, one of the students, which provided for the ap- pointment of a board consisting of the presidents of the post-graduate, senior and junior classes, and of two members from each class appointed by their respective presidents. All alleged dishonest methods used in examinations would be investigated by this board and then called to the atten- tion of the faculty. After consideration it Wes determined to defer the matter until next year. ————— Burglar StenIs Jewelry. A burglar called at the home of W. H. McCauley, No. 219 9th street southeast, yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, and got about $150 worth of jewelry. He would probably have taken some silverware from the dining rocm had it not been that he was discovered by the servant. The burglar was a white man, about thirty-five years old. He had been on the upper floor of the house and had secured a sold watch and chain, three gold scarf pins, two gold stick pins, link bracclet set with diamonds and a number of other articles of jewelry. He then went down stairs a was in tho Gining room, evidently search- ing for silverware, when the serving w9- man entered the room. The intruder has- tily departed. The burglar entered the house by break ing a rear window. He is deseri s bi ing tall, with a brown mustache, and as wearing a gray suit of clothes. —— as “Yankee Pigs” nd Spanish Sausage.
