AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA City School Board Adopts List of Books and Be Elects Teachers. Ebenezer Baptist Church Troubles Aired in Police Court—Republican Protest — Other News, Evening Star Bureau, No. 727 King Street, Bell Telephone 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 17, 1898. The city school board, with a full attend- ance, met last night at 8 o’clock in Pea- body Hall to adopt a complete list of books for use during the coming session. With a slight alteration, the minutes of the last meeting were approved. Mr. K. Kemper, the superintendent, stated the purpose for which he had called the board and pre- sented a list of books prepared by himself and Mr. Theodore Ficklin, principal, of Washington School. Mr. Carne submitted another list by request. These were com- bared, from which a list was adopted. Mr. Carne introduced a resolution to the effect that the continuance of books now in use and not prohib.ted by the state board be allowed, and that the purchasing of books from the new list be left optional with parents. The chair opposed this resolution, first, on the ground that it was contrary to state laws; second, that it would compel the teacher to use more than one text book during a recitation. Mr. Thompson occupied the chair while the chairman, Mr. Francis L. Smith, made @ speech opposing the resolution. He said that under its provision any one child could demand instruction in an old book, while the state board allows books on the old list to be used only in classes where a majority of pupils held them. The resolution was lost on a tie vote. Capt. Bryant introduced a resolution, a Part of which was almost in the language of the state board’s provision, “that books from the new list be introduced in the formation of classes, and old books be al- jJowed in classes already formed, only where such books are held by a majority of pupils.” This resolution was adopted. Mr. Carne throughout opposed assuming responsibility in compelling the purchase of new books. He argued that any trouble arising should be borne by the state. board of education, but Mr. Smith held that the city board was compelled to assume the re- sponsbility. He contended that it would avoid confusion now, and save expense in the long run, to purchase new books. It was explained that for six months such books could be bought at 50 per cent off, but after that they would cost much more. As the matter now stands the adopted list must be introduced in the formation of classes, and in the old classes, except where a@ majority of pupils possess old books. Just before adjourning a motion was made to re-elect all white teachers now em- ployed, which was carried, when the board adjourned, having devoted an hour and a half to the school book question. Church Trouble in Court. The first case before Mayor Simpson this morning was that of Frank Williams, colored, arrested by Officers Goods and Howisen, on a charge of disturbing church worship. Trouble has been brewing in Ebenezer Baptist Church (colored) ever since the Rev. W. D. Loving was called to the pastorate last March. A large number cf the membership was opposed to him, and time and again came into violent col- sion with the pastor’s party. These rows culminated last night, when Williams, one of the expelled members, took the meeting out of Rey. Loving’s charge and proceeded to conduct it at his own pleasure. This was more than the pastor would tolerate, so he swore out a warrant for Williams’ arrest, and appeared against him this morning. While the mayor was examining a book of church rules Mr. James R. Caton en- tered and announced that he had been re- tained as the defendant's attorney. He also stated that the case was one of some importance and would be carried to the civil courts, whereupon Mayor Simpson dismissed the case. The evidence showed a bad state of af- fairs in the church, fifty-one out of 150 members expelling thirty-three in a batch, none of whom was present at the church trial. William Gray and Joseph Carroll, both colored, were the next prisoners. They were arrested by Officers Ticer and Rob- erts, charged with fighting, and were fined $2.50 each. James Bell, colored, was arrested by Of- ficers Goods and Howison, charged with disorderly conduct; case dismissed. A Dissatisfied Republican. Mr. W. P. Graves, who led the anti-Ag- new faction of republicans in the recent ward meetings, has published a letter scor- ing the'republican leaders for their action in the city convention h2ld in Sarepta Hall. He states that “almest every crime men- tioned in the decalogue was employed in securing that city convention,” and that the republican party in Alexandria has be>n given an awful blow. Mr. Graves protested against being calle an anti-administration man, and said h. faction was simply fighting for a free vote and a fair count at the primaries. He con- cluded with a parting thrust at Mr. Agnew and Mr. Crupper. Brief Mention. Corporal Williams and Private Fish2r of Company F, 3d Virginia Regiment, were in town this morning hunting for Sergt. Gor- man of Company L, 2d Virginia, who had been reduced from rank, sent2nced by ccurt-martial to serve six months in the penitentiary, and be dishonorably dis- charged from service. Maj. Gen, Fitzhugh Lee stopped over in this city with friends on South Washing- ton street yesterday evening on his way south. Gen. Lee is a popular hero with the people of Alexandria. : Rev. Theron H.

There will be a grand annual tournament held at River View this afternoon. The prizes are valuable and the riding is ex- pected to be excellent.

No vessels of ice have as yet arrived and the ice dealers are hardly able to supply the demand; but cargoes are daily ex- pected. _————— SUPPLYING SOLID FOOD. Work for Soldiers by Ladies of Pen- sion Office. The Ladies’ Pension Office Association, formed to furnieh aid to Uncle Sam's sol- diers, has, through its chairman, Mrs. Mary B. Saunders, established headquar- ters at Potomac Hail, at 11th street and Maryland avenue, near the railroad depot, where it will dispense hospitality to the trcops aboard trains in waiting.

The as- sociation started with a fund of $150, raised by solicitation among the pension office employes, and have already accomplished a great deal in the way of supplying the hun- gry with food. Dorations of substantial edibles are solicited, and at the same time ladies are invited to assist at the rooms in the distribution of the supples. It is the purpose of the associaticn to furnish sand- wiches of ham, tongue and cheese, with ccffee, but no pies, the latter being regard- ed as of little value as food.

An inquest was held this morning Inquest Over Ma: o'clock at the seventh precinct police s tion to determine the blame for the death of Mamie Honesty, the colored woman who was run over Sunday night by a Great Falls car, both legs being crushed, and who died Tuesday morning at the Emergency Hespitel. A jury, consisting of Messrs. James Shanks, foreman; Frank Thomas, George W. Thomas, Samuel H. King, William A. Brown and Columbus W. Thompson, was secured. The jury was taken to the undertaking establishment of John McCarthy, on M street, and sworn in over the remains of the dead woman. Re- turning to tne station house, the testimony was taken. Arthur Hazelock, who lives on the Canal road, was the first witness, he being one of the colured men with the woman. He stated that he met Mamie Honesty. Mary Cephas, her aunt, and Curly Jackson at the Little Falls station on the Great Falls road. They took a car and went to Cur- tin’s, where they bought a pint of 40-cent whisky and left, drinking the liquor on the outside. It was 7:30 when they left the Little Falls station. Mamie, witness said, Wanted to go home, but Her aunt w: to stay. Witness and Mamie went . and,be left her. at a tree, some distance from the railroad track, while he went after the other two. When he returned he saw a cor stopped and saw people jumping out, and found that Mamie had been run ove Curly Jackson substantially corroborated his testimony, and stated that at the time of the accident the parties were not half a square apart. Claude Clements, the motorman of the car that ran over the woman, stated that the speed of the car was about eight miles an hour, being slowed up on account of the road crossing at that point. He saw an object on the track that looked like a bundle of rags, being at the time about fifteen feet from it. He put the brakes on, but the car did not stop until it ran over the object, only the front wheels passing over. The car was stopped within fiftcen feet. The front fender passed over the body, but the wheel guard caught hold of her, permitting her legs to go beneath the wheel. At the time of the accident the body was lying almost parallel with the tracks. There was no one on the car but the conductor at the time. 8S. S. Shoe- maker, the eonductor, substantiated the story of the motorman, and described the assistance given in putting the body in the car and starting the trip to Georgetown. The car stopped so quickly that it nearly threw him off. F. H. Fowler, the superin- tendent of the road, was present, and gave testimony relative to the equipment of the cars. He stated that the standard fender and the standard wheel guard were used on the car. After listening to this evidence, the jury deliberated a few minutes, and reached a conclusion exempting the road from all blame, and placing the death as acciden- tal. A death certificate was made out by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, who con- ducted the inquest, and the body was turned over to the family of the deceased for interment. —_—__ DENTIST HELD FOR MURDER.
