Free Fight Notley Hall—Loeal Notes of General and Especial Interest. at Evening Star Bureau, No. 727 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 166, ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 16, 1898. A unique marriage ceremony took place last night at No. 919 King street, the con- tracting parties being Mr. Wm. Kell, a member of the Hydraulion company, and Mrs. Adelaide Gibson, a widow, the daugh- ter of Mrs. Roland of this city. The cere- meny was to have been private, but in some way Mr. Kell’s associates at the en- gine house ascertained his purpose, and planned a little surprise. Accordingly, when the married couple stepped out on the street they were greeted and congratulated by a large delegation of the groom’s asso- ciates, who presented the couple with a huge bouquet of brilliant sunflowers, and literally deluged them with rice. Rev. J. Howard Wells performed the ceremony. It is understood that Mr. and Mrs. Kell will make their future home in this city. Free Fight at Notley Hall. Last night several colored men from this who went to Notley Hall on the ex- cursion given by a colored social organi- zation known as the “Fern Leaf Club,” became involved in a general fight, in which Henry Stevenson was cut on the head and shot in the leg.

Stevenson was able to get to his home on upper Cameron street last night, where his wounds were dressed. He is resting easy this morning, and not consid- ered in a dangercus condition. Police Court Proceedings. The police court opened this morning with George Gibson, colored, before the mayor.

As the evidence showed both guilty, the man was fined $5 and the woman $1 An old white man, who said his name was John Quincy Adams, was arrested by Officer Sherwood, charged with being dis- orderly.

A letter received in this city from the White Sulphur Springs states that Miss Lee of Alexandria won the first prize, a pearl and silver paper knife, at a bowling party given by Mrs. F. J.

In a suit brought by the Manufacturers’ Association before Judge Tuley of Chicago, sitting In the state circuit court, to test the right of the express companies to compel the public to pay the war revenue tax of 1 cent for shipment, a decision has been rendered that the companies must accept packages for shipment with the receipt duly stamped by themselves and without adding the cost of the stamp to the reg- ular express rate. An appeal is to be taken from this decision. It is contended on the part of the express companies that “it was not the intent of Congress, in imposing a stamp tax on bills of lading and express company receipts, that the raflroad and express companies should pay the whole tax and not pass any part of it along to their customers. If Judge Tuley’s decision is sound,” say the companies, “then the beer brewers and whisky distillers and the tobacco men have been violating the law for tnirty-tive years in colecting the costs of the internal rev- enue stamps on their products from the consumers or purchasers of their goods. “If this judgment is sound,” said a local express man today, “then the owners of productive real estate have been violating state law from time out of mind in under- taking to add the state property taxes on their tenements and business blocks to the rent charged for the use of such property. Then, too, the domestic importers of dutia- ble goods have been violating federal laws from the beginning in seeking to pass along the customs dues collected from them by the government to the buyers and consum- ers of the goods. “The Merchants’ Association of New York and the Manufacturers’ Association of Illinois say it was the intent of Congress that the express companies should bear the whole stamp tax on receipts without in- creasing their charges; but is tt any more the intent of the law that the express com- panies shall pay the tax than that the law- yer who draws up a legal instrument shall pay the cost of stamping it, or that the banks shall stamp checks out of their own pockets, or that the increased tax on cigars shall not in any event increase the price to consumers, or that the extra dollar a barrel on beer shall not in any event increase the amount of foam in the retail glass of beer or reduce the size of the mug? “And if this were the intention of Con- gress it could never be enforced. All the law within reach of that body couid not prevent an express company or other con- cern in a similar position from passing x to the consumer in one way either through — increased or Teduced accommodations or in charge some other manner —_———+e-+—_____- Will Have Left by Saturday. All the troops that were with Gen. Shaf- ter in the Santiago campaign will be out of Cuba by Saturday of this week. Gen. Shafter will accompany the last detach- ment to Montauk Point.

The list that was sent in for publication was not an official list, and the other members who participated in the event are somewhat chagrined over the failure of the publication of the complete score. It 1a stated that some of the con- testants mentioned did not even enter the shoot. The official summary is as follows: First event, ten birds—Brown, 9; G. Wise, 8;C. B.

Owing to the heavy rains of |: week a large masonry retaining wall that is being built in the center of the square bounded by 37th and 38th streets, Prospect avenue and the Canal road gave way and fell to the ground. The wall was about twenty. five feet high and twenty-five feet in length. The District government is constructing a sewer in the center of the square to drain the houses on Prospect avenue. As the grade is so steep the task is quite an engineering feat. Several standpipes are being erected, and to protect the earth from caving on them the retaining wall was built. Work- ingmen are now engaged in revuilding the same. 8; Two Funerals. The funeral of Waiter Browning Grimes was held this afternoon at 3:30 o’elock from the Congress Street M. P.

As a result of the bicycle race meet last evening at the track of the Park Bicycle Club on the Conduit road a number of ar- rests were made by the Georgetown police in which bicyclists were the victims. E! mon Burton and Samuel J. Smith, the for- mer a decorator and the latter a clerk, were hailed by Policeman Heide of the county mountéd force because their lamps were out. They did not stop to light up, but at- tempted to sprint away. A short pursuit ended in their capture, and at the station house they were held on a charge of fast riding. Collateral to the amount of $5 was } furnished in each case, and this morning in the police court a fine of $2 was imposed on each. David Butler, aged thirty-nine, colored, a messenger; William Miller, white, aged seventeen, a ‘laborer, and ‘Joseph Krewer, white, aged thirty, a teacher, were arrested by Policemen Davis and ‘Short shortly before midnight on a charge of not having lighted lamps. Each prisoner man- aged to deposit $5 collateral. Were Released. Curly Johnson and Arthur Hazebrook, the two colored men who were arrested on suspicion of having something to do with the accident to Mamie Honesty, the col- ored woman who was run over Sunday evening by @ Great Falls electric car, both legs being crushed, were released from cus- tody yesterday. The accident resulted fa- tally to the woman and no evidence to con- vict the men of any criminal intent could be secured; hence their release.

The acting secretary of the navy has {s- sued the following notice in regard to the Proposed review of the vessels which took part in the West Indian campaign: “The department is much gratified at the desire expressed to see a review of the warships and cruisers recently ordered home and, so far as practicable, is desirous of carrying out the wishes of those citizens who wish to see the ships. But neither the officers nor the men of the fleet are in ¢on- dition to participate in a street parade. The department is taking the opportunity of the armistice to put these ships at once in- to the best possible condition for such uses as May hereafter be required of them. It is expected all other work will be suspend- ed and the entire available force of the navy yard directed to this work, in order to secure the greatest possible dispatch. “The department wil direct, upon the ar- rival in New York harbor’ the fleet to steam up the North river as far as Gen. Grant's tomb, fire a salute and steam back to the anchorage.
