The following extract is from a letter written by C. O. Saers of the District regi- ment to- his friends here. The letter was dated at Montauk Point, August 28: “We were in quarantine for two days after we reached the harbor—and were not allowed te go ashore until yesterday the 2ith, and when we did get ashore—Oh, what a difference. Just the opposite of what we met when we landed in Cuba. In- stead of giving all we had to suffering people, our friends were giving what seems to be all they had to us. “Coming up on the Hudson we nearly starved to death. I gave away some of my finest souvenirs to get stuff to eat. Some fellows paid as high as $1 for a loaf of bread. What our government Dill-of- fare consisted of was corned beef, stale hard tack, beans and coffee. Fine food for a lot of sick and convalescent men. “We left Santiago August 20, and I never left a place with so much joy in my heart. On our way out we passed the wreck of the Merrimac, and next in line came the wreck of the Spanish cruiser, the Reina Mercides; next to the wreck of the Mercides came old Morro Castle. It reminds me of old Fort Waskingtcn more than anything eise I know of. Up the shore about five miles to our right I could see other Span- ish wrecks, but could not make out the names. As we turned to our left we sailed toward the sh6res of God’s country. “The second day out our company went on guard, and I then got the chance to jake arrangements with the cook at the kitchen for something to eat. You see I was on guard over the kitchen door. Well, I gave up a handsome gold ring I had ob- tained from a Spanish prisoner at one time, and at another time I gave that great and powerful cook a valuable silk handker- chief (the finest I have even seen) for a few mouthsful of food. But I enjoyed that food. you can see I fared some bet- ter than others, but you will not get my souvenirs. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA School Board Elects Teachers and Transacts Other Important Business.

Mr. Carne stated that the Spencerian sy: tem had been in use here for many years, and that the state board had. on one occa- sion, informally permitted its continuance in the Alexandria schools. It was decid>4 to continue this book in all grades but the first, where new books would be introduced. Maury’s elementary geography was also continued. Before preceeding to the election of col- ored teachers the question of white substi- brought up and decided by re- electing all who held certificates.

It has been alleged that some of the city authorities were guilty of derelicticu in the case of Chris. Schem, the aged umbrella mender, who recently died at the infirm- ary. In view of this, the facts in the case have been carefully investigated and are reported to be as follow: ‘ween 1 and 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Officer Deane reported to Capt. Webster, at the poli station, that an old man had been discove ed lying in tha shade on Mulberry lot, in the first ward. He complained of sick, but refused to be taken by the off to the infirmary.

Announcement is made of the death of Miss Emma Brown, which occurred at noon yesterday at the residence of the late Captain James M. Stewart, on Cameron street. There is deep sorrow in conse- quence among the large circle of those who krew her and with whom she associated in church work. The deceased had been an exemplary member of the Second Presbyterian Church for many years. For some time past she had been critically ill, so that her death in a measure was expected. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon from the Second Presbyterian Church. Personal and Brief Mention. Edward Meade, while working near Bur- rcughs’ store yesterday on an electric light pole, had a narrow escape from serious in- jury. The pole on which he was working, teing old and rotten, cracked at the bot- tom, and was about to fall. Mr. Meade was saved by the timely assistance of fel- lew-employes. The supply horse which for several wecks has been used by the Hydraulion fire com- pany has been taken back by its owner, thus putting the company to the necessity of hiring another until a suitable one can be purchased. Bids for furnishing public schools with fuel were last night awarded as fo'lows: Messrs. W. A. Smoot & Co. for coal and J. R. Zimmerman for wood. They were the lowest bidders. Rev. Berryman Greene of Christ Church has returned from his vacation. Messrs. Alvin Powell and Robt. Whaley ot the city post office are now spending their vacation.

Frank Stewart and Henry Howard, who are charged with having, yesterday, stolen a scarf pin valued at $30 from John Han- sen, a jeweler, were today committ2d by Judge Kimball for a hearing Friday next. The men were arrested by Detective Tay- man. It is alleged that they went into Mr. Han- sen’s store and asked to look at some scarf pins, ard that while one of them was talking to the clerk the other stole one. Immediately afterward the accused lft the store and went to a pawnshop, where they secured $15 upon it. It is said the defendants tried to play a similar game in several othr stores, but were unable to carry their scheme into ef- fect. The pin was recovered by Detective Muller. Howard is addicted to th: use of morphine, and had a hypodermic outfit upon him when arrested. The prisoners are strangers here. —_+ MONTGOMERY POLITICS, ‘The Leaders im Both Parties Congre- gate at Rockville. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. the honor. Spencer C. Jones and William Veirs Boule of this cou have been sug gested, but it is generally understood tha! both these gentlemen blushingly decline The democratic state central committe: for this county, it is understood, will meet Tuesday next and determine upon a dat« for the primaries to select delegates to a county convention, at which a de of four will be sent to the nominating convention. It is understood that the friends of Cap. tain McDonald, the present republicar membet from this district, held a confer. ence on the fair grounds’ yesterday, and notwithstanding the action of the county convention determined to present his name to the congressional nominating conven tion, and claim that they will have the support of the Frederick delegation, under the head of Judge Motter. From conversations held with democrat from all sections of the county it is learned that much differences of opinion in regard to the free coinage of silver and the sup- port of the late Chicago platform exist in the party, and the usual kick is expected. BROWN SYSTEM INDORSED. Congress Heights © tion Defends ¢ The Congress Heigh Citizens’ Associa- ticn recently addressed a communication to the Commissioners, in which exception is taken to a paper filed s»veral days ago with the authorities in criticism of the Brown electric system and of the Capital Railway Compan:, which is now seeking to Permanently install that system. The citizens’ association says, in part: “You are thoroughiy familiar with the long-drawn-out fight between the Anacom tla railroad and the Capital railway. Their territory is practically the same. The Ana- ccstia railroad has done nothing but fight its rival. Petition after petition has bees gotten up to prejudice you against the Capital railway. This last effort reduces itself to absurdity. It even oes 50 far as to try to blame the Brown underground system, installed within the city limits, with the recent accident a mile awa: across the river and on the standard ove! had construction. “The petition is incorrect and misleading. In the first place, the company has made no repairs since the new boxes were in- stalled, no live boxes have occurred, and a more perfect working electric und=rground system cannot be found. During the re- cent heavy rains the cars operated by this sysiem plowed through a foot of water I'ke a boat without once losing its current, whil2 other underground roads were tied up. We indorse the Brown system as a safe, practicable and valuable acquisition to the electrical world The communication is signed by B, H. White, chairman. >— AT DEAL BEACH.
