Fire This Afternoon m Upper Prince Street—I lice Court Decket— General and Perscnal. *Dyening Star Bureau, No. King street, Bell telephone No. 106, DRIA, Va., November 22, 1898. oencil meets tonight, and, ac- cording to statements on good authority, the matter of rew rails for King street will be taken up ané some definite and conclu- stve action agreed upon. At the last c ell meetiag a motion directing the Wash- ington, Alexerdria ard Mt. Vernon Rail- 1 Company to discard the rails in pres- ent use on King street between Royal and riax streets, and within twelve days’ » to substitute the new rail approved by the council, was laid over until this meet- ing by courtesy to the company’s attorney, who was nov able to be present then. At that meeting a.so President Abbott's letter p s his company's willingness to aic in-tue paving of King street was laid before the bcay. Should the council this evening p: ordin ince directing the company to ci its it is understood that the again be ed to the courts. In_ this event, it aid, the improvements will postponed indetinitely. In c: je coune!l should decide to allow the rails to re main, the we k of paving will probably be commenced immedi: as the contracts for paving and- curbing lready been awarded. Fire broke out th fternoon about 1 o'clock in a smoke in the rear of William Reeker’s store on upper Prince street. The alarm was turned in and the department promptly responded, but did not go into service, as the Sames were soon extinguished. Ashes used for smoking meats caught fire by some of the meat dropping into the pit and igniting from con- tact with the heating apparatus. A de- structive fire was narrowly averted, as a hay loft adjoined the smoke house, which was also in close proximity to a gasoline tank. Police Court Docket. Mayor Simpson disposed of the following cases in the police court this morning: Ella Tenson, colored, arrested by OfMi- cer Lyles, was wanted by the Washington police. She was held to be delivered to them. Gertie Wood, colored, arrested by Officer Lyles for complicity in petty theft, was also wanted in Washington, and held with the Harrison woman. Mary Porter, colored, arrested by Officers Hall and Roberts on a charge of drunken- ness and disorderly conduct, was fined $2.50. Jacob Brooks, colored, arrested by Offi- cers Beach and Knight, charged with fight- ing, was assessed $2.50. Charley Medley, colored, surrender2d_him- self to Officer Lyles and was fined $2.50 on a charge of disorderly conduct. General Matters. ‘The entertainment given last night at the railroad reading rooms was largely at- tended. The feature of the evening was a patriotic tableau, in which Miss Bettie Pollard represented the Godéess of Liberty, and was assisted by thirteen other young ladies representing the original states. Af- ter the regular program refreshments were served. Lieut. James Smith yesterday received a letter from Detective Inspector Mattingly of Washington, in which that official cor- dially thanks Lieut. Smith for the excel- lent work he did in recovering a number of bicycles stolen from Washington parties end disposed of in Fairfax county. The let- ter states that the credit is all due to the lieutenant. The members of the Alexandria Light In- fantry were entertained last night at an eyster supper in the opera house restau- ant, tendered by the recently elected offi- ers, Capt. James E. King and Lieuts. Mur- y and Payne. The schedule of mail trains of the Wash- ington and Southern branch of the Penn- sylvania road has been changed, and affects to some extent the arrangement of work at the city post office. The northbound train, which formerly arrived at 7:18 a.m., now arrives at 6:44 a.m. The time of arrival of the southbound train has been changed from 11:13 a.m. to 12:02 p.m. A young colored woman named Georgana Wonzer died at the infirmary last night. ——_+ AFTER THE SCALPERS. Organization Formed to Abolish Brokerage In R. R. Tickets. One of the most energetic and far-reach- ing movements against ticket scalping ever formed, it is said, has b2en organized. and its representatives are expected to be in Washingten in a few days, in order to ask Congress early in the coming session for legislation to wipe out the ticket brok:rage in the United States. The movement is not only backed by the railway companies, but is indorsed by the chamber of commerce of a large number of th2 cities and towns throughout the country, and the execution of carefully devised plans has been placed in the hands of Mr. A. H. Compton of Chi- cago, chairman of th? National Merchants and Travelers’ Association. In a letter received here Mr. Compton say “It has simply come to this in railroad affairs, that if ticket scalpers are not crushed out entirely and at once the rail- Way companies must do away with railroad tickets altogether and we must pay cash on the trains, as we do on street cars. Business firms must have better rates than they are getting now for their travelers, and as long as things are so we cannot expect it, as the roads must protect them- selves. “The ticket forgers are killing the roadi The forgery of tickets to be sold by scalp- ers Is something surprising. Recently a forged tickst was gotten out, and before the railroad people could learn what was the matter there were $2,500 worth of them sold. There was another forged ticket, of which the sales amounted to $2,200 b2fore the railroad people knew that a forger was at work. There was also a forged Balti- more and Ohio book, of which 20,000 were sold before it was detected. Forging rail- road tickets has become a business. The only way to kill off and protect the rail- roads is to kill off the scalpers, and that is what we are now after. If we haven't the scalper we won't have the forged tickets, for the makers will then hava no place to sell their bad wares. “The National Association of Merchants and Travelers represents not less than 00) concerns In the west, and we feel that w2 have a right to demand « rate; but at the same time, we realize that the rail- roads are severely handicapped, and under existing conditions can do no better. Our sole alm-and object now is to kill off the scalp2r, so that the railroad people may get a chance to give us prices. That is why we are going to Washington. The scalper gets in his work after the many conventions held yearly. In the central and western districts there ar2 3,000 con- ventions held yearly, which in itself means a great amount of money. Some of the scalpers in the different cities have becom: very adept in forging, and in many cases the signature of the agent, who is suppos- ed to stamp all return tickets after a con- vertion, has bean forged and many thou- sands of dollars worth of tickets gathered unstamped and sold again. The Iper, as a class, has become very expert, and we must sit on him or our business will be Killed entirely.” The scalpars realize that there is to be an ‘effort’ to demolish their business, and at a convention held in St. Louis a few days ago they resolved to fight all antag- onists with every weapon that they could legally command. ————— To Be Aid-de-Camp.

Lady Curzon wore pale mauve satin, with a fine raised design in silver and black and white. The ball was probably the larg- est ever held in a private house, and the ar- Tangements taxed even the vast resources of Welbeck. The magnificent subterranean apartments adjoining the ball room served as retiring, supper and cloak rooms. At midnight the ballroom presented a most magnificent spectacle, the costumes being heightened in effect by the brilliancy of electricity from hundreds of miniature ‘amps suspended from the branches oi paims.

Ameri Ultimatum to Spain Come mended in Strong Terms. LONDON, November ~—The morning papers concede the generosity of the offers of the United States peace commissioners, and express the opinion that Spain would be foolish to reject them. They express universal gratification at the announcement of “an open door” policy in the Philippines. The Daily Mail calls the offer of $20,000,- 000 as indemnity “a surprising act of gen- erosity.”” ‘The papers generally take it for granted that the “open door” will be adopted in the West Indies also. The Daily News says: “The United States have now become an Asiatic power, and Lord Salisbury clearly had reason wo predict that the expansion of the United States would give Great Britain a valuable ally in the China seas.” Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Edward F, Buckmyer and Mary L.
