A sad accident happened to Mr Nelson Wormley, of Arlington Va., on Tuesday, Noy. 3oth inst., by falling from the top of a two story house, and seriously dislo- cating several of his joints. He isa high- ly respected citizen of that place, who receives many expressions of sympathy. Afew ladies and gentlemen were in compiny a few evenings ago and in the course of conversation, a lady asked a gentleman ifhe knew where ‘Champ- Elys:se” was, in reply the gentleman said no, but he knew where Sneed-Franisee was.

Monroe, at the Asbury Chureh, under the auspices of the parsonage fund associa- tion was a great success. The audience, in every particular consisted of the best in the city. This associition works hard to secure funds enough to build a Pirsonage and it seems that it meets with stubborn oppositon not only from the pas- tor of the church but other officers and members of the church. When Mr. Carroll left, it is reported there was 500,00 dol- larsin the treasury, ANOTHER ELOPEMENT. MISS CARRIE BROWNE ELOPES WITH A MEMBER OF THE WASHINGTON CADET CORPS. Miss Carrie Brown, who resides at 1003 11th st., n. w. eloped last Monday evening with Andrew Paul, a member of the Washing- ton Cadet Corps. For some time Mr Paul has been visiting Miss Carrie against the protest of her parents and hehad on several occasions asked the parents of Miss Browne for her, who objected and forbid him to come to the house. This not suiting the lady whose love for Paul, was greater than her parents dislike, determined to set- tle the question in a manner not at all complimentary to her mother. Miss Carrie had frequently in- formed her friends that she intend- ed to elope with the choice of her affections and to convince all of what she had asserted she and her dear Paul, eloped and were mar- ried last Monday. Miss Brown isa young lady some what symmetri- cal in appearence and possessing a smile similar to the godess of love. Carrie and her lover left for New Jersey, where they will remain some time. PERSONALS. Mr. A. E- T. Draper, left the city for Norfolk Tuesday to attend the wedding of Mr. J. C. Asbury. Mr. J. S. Davis, of Baltimore, Md., was in the city this week. Mr. B. D. Fleet left for New York last evening to be gone several days. Mr. Johnson Green of the Treas- ury Department left the city this week forhis home in Wilmington, N. C., where he will be gone until the last ot December. Mr. Green leaves many friends who wish him asafe journey and an enjoyable time. Mr. Washington C. Reeves, of the Pension office, who has been confined to his room in Arlington, Va., with the malaria, is out again, much to the gratification of his friends. Rev. E.W. Williams, of Abbi- ville, S. C., arrived in the city last Saturday. He assisted in the ser- vices at the 15th st., Presbyterian eburch last Sabbath morning. He left for New York and the New En- gtand States Monday morning. Col. Geo. M. Arnold is on leave for a few days. Geo. H. Richardson, Esq., is studying medicine. It will be Dr. Richardson soon. GENERAL NEWS. Ex senator Conkling in ayy to an important inquiry of Judge Wm, J. Bacon, said that he was willing, standing in the presence ot death, to bury past differences of new enemies by shaking hands across the dead body of an old triend, Lewis Lawrence of Utica, who died several months ago. The labor trouble in Pittsburg is now settled. A camp of Chinese laborers of 50 men, was brutally assaulted, captured and robbed Nov. 29th inst., by white masked men, who robbed them of $500 hard earn ings by roasting one of them up on a red hot stove, until all gave up their money, which in all was $500. The universally regretted death of the Hon. Judge, George L. Ruffin, of Massachusetts, who died on Friday, November 26,; leaves us without a single office holder of prominence of our race in the north. The Honorable District Com- missioner Ludlow, favors $5,000 or $6,000 salary for the chief ot Police to keep him honest. It is supposed that poverty never makes the good dishonest nor rich- es make bad men good. If the killing of several colored citizens by policemen, in some of our lower water streets of South Washington, gives them the ap- pellative title “bloody field,” what must the southern states be called where Indians, Chinese, and even colored American citizens, are butchered without a reserve of conscience or regard for human hfe? <> RELIGIOUS NOTES. The European religion repre~ sented through the methods of the Salvation Army with Gen’l. Booth at its head has again made its appearance. The Baptist Foreign mission convention of this city adjourned over to January 19 1887. It is said that $50 was taken up for the work at the Second Buptist church on Sunday last. The Women’s Christian Union and Home Mission societies of this city, are doing as much good as the Young Men’s Christian Associatioa. Religious education among children is intended to produce Christian men and women among the nations. Throughout the city the church- es were elated with religious elo- quence on Sunday last and many ot the pulpits were filled by ex- cellent visiting ministers. Rev. H. C. Robinson has re- turned to his post of duty from this city. More practical preaching upon the morals of the people, and the cause and temperance in this city, will do more good than so many revivals in the absence of any teaching. The city ministry need an ec- clesiastical congress here, for the reception and entertainment of visiting clergymen, if not for their own use. Funerals as far as possible should always take place at their proper time and never put off for Sunday display. —_—— +o VIRGINIA NEWS Locust Hill, Nov. 25th inst. This is truely Thanksgiving Day with us, not withstanding the rain seems to fall with an unusual rapidity. The church people neith- er fail nor refuse to present them- selves at the sanctuary for prayers of Thanksgiving; nor do the socie- ty folks omit to appreciate available opportunities. General resumption of business since the election, among the oys- ter, wood, and timber merchants, make things look rather cheerful. The large farmers such as the Robinson’s and others, are busily engaged in housing their crops. A talk with justice Wormley of Arlington, Va., a few days ago, who was then on business in this city, shows a general improvement among the citizens of that commu- nity. MOUNT DEW CAROLINE. The literary so recently organiz- ed here, adds a new phase to our society notes. For many of our best circles in this community are connecting themselves. Literary productions, such as select readings, essays, and excellent displays of music are the charms of each occa- sion, Saint Steven, King George, Vir- ginia, Nov. 27. Dear Sir:—— You would doubt- lesa, like to interest your readers with some items of our condition. While it is a fact that we have a number of Public School teachers here, graduates from Richmond and your- city, Washington and other cities of the North, yet the remarkable progress made by the people here generally and the school in particularly is wonderfal. The churches as a general thing, are situated about 5 and 10 miles apart; and insome fewcases, 15, and yet on appointment, the people are regular in their attendance. SOUTH WASHINGTON. Mr. Wm. Hunter, is about to in- stitute an investigation into the killing of his wife Eliza Hunter, by the Metropolitan branch of B and O. R. R. on Nov. 18th. The killing of Thomas Lewis.on Thursday evening the 25th and the sad accident to little Israel Free- man by the B and P. R. R. are all occasions for grief to this commu- nity. The funeral of Wm. Webster, a young man well connected in socie- ty here took place from Zion Bap- tist church at 1 oclock on Monday last. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer White are preparing to build a handsome residence in 3d st., near H st. The Bazar at the Wesley Zion is a magnificent affair. Watts and Bro. have the largest coal trade inthis section of the city, withall kinds of coal and wood on hand, at their spacious yard, 212 C st. The.devoted wives of many faith- ful husbands in this community are being delighted daily at the arriv- als of their husbands from other cities where they have been hard at work during the spring and sum- mer. The females in this commu- nity allow machine agents to ex- change on them too often todo their husbands: justice. The citizens of 3d, 2nd, and ist, sts., are greatly in need of water and gas through those sections. The Holmes House 333 Va. Ave., is exhibiting every appearance of beauty. A farewell reception tendered to Miss Hattie Curtis at her residence in 2nd st., by ber lady friends of the Clinton Circle No.1 on last evening, presided over by Miss Al- ice Smith. Thereception was ten- dered expressive of their high es- teem for Miss Curtis who left this morning for her home in Pensylvan- ia. Among the guests of the evening were, Misses Bertha Brooks, Ame- lia Barnes, and Mary Dorsey, Mrs. Carroll Webster and others. GENERAL ITEMS. The ideas and facts brought out in the great and almost matchless speech of Hon. T. T. Allain of Iberville parish La., strongly verities the truthfulness of our as- sertions under the head of General Items, in our last issue, that in- stead of ignorance and immorality destroying the colored race of 9,000,000 in 50 years education, morality and religion will have so improved us, that in status for the above elements alone, we will stand the equals of any people of the world. We will be the color- ed race, but not designated as such; wear our unchanged com~ plexion as a race, but not so many as now; fewer amalgamations, but greater respectability; darker com- plexion, but it will be worn with greater pride. We will then have grown ar-oneer intellectually, be- cause we will be stronger morally. Stronger religiously bccanse we will have comprehended better things; and pride ourselves more for ability than we will have bor- rowed complexions a ising from the evils of another race. The inter race prejudice which goes far to divide us now, by reason of many complexions will in 50 years have been entirely wiped out by an improved condition of educa- tion, morality and religion, and the people who practice the evils of to day by undertaking to run social and religious eocieties up:.n their color instead of morals and ability will be but the ruins of the past. Already Christmas cards are being in great demand, Many of the citizens of Arling- ton Va., who used to be residents of the old village, are now large property owners on the outside, where they are following all kinds of trades, and others are purchas- ing and moving out. The old Fort Myer, which was once a flourishing signal service school is now a regular garrison. The transfer of the old acque- duct bridge trom the Canal Com- pany to the general government of the United States, greatly in- conveniences the market people between West Washington and Virginia. A HARVESt HUME. REV. A. J. ANSERSON’S UNIQUE EN TERTAINMENT. A DEPARTURE FROM CONCERT &¢. The harvest home at the Gal- braith A. M. E. Zion church proved a brilliant success in every particular. Upwards of $230 was realized and the entertainment was undoubtedly the finest ever given in the history of that church and the first of its kind in this city. The church was beautifully decorated in the most exquisite taste and unique design faithfully representing the harvest time. Tue appropriate distribution of green festooning of crowfoot and strong cranberries, interspersed with wreaths, crosses, anchors and a variety of designs in evergreens and autumn leaves, and agricul- tural implements illustrating each stage of the season trom seed time to harvest, the grand harvest ta- ble containing almost every con- ceivable product known to the community, tastefully and ele- gantly arranged. ‘The floral dis- play and the rural cedar grove in which the queens were enthroned were all noticeable features. The programme as printed was faithfully adhered to, only three selection being omitted out of thirty eight numbers. The queens were Misses Bessie Campbell, Lottie Magruder, Ella Jackson and Minerva Anderson. They were appropriately and elegantly attired, and well received. The singing by the Sunday school and the old folks concert by the choir were especially remarkuble as was the essay on the harvest by Mi-s Sarah Jennifer and the character- istic songs of Mr. Plummer. Miss Aruold presided with dignity aud grace at the organ. The drill by Rev. Andersou’s two little boys by their father brought the house down. They executed 97 move- ments in the silent drill without a mistake. Miss Hattie Ander- son acquitted herself well as a songstress. Such entertainments as these rise above the ordinary and are elevating, and the public appreciation was such ae to manifest itself in crowds every evening. Rev. Anderson and his committee deserve special mention for their; departure from ordinary enter- tainments in this city. The church was crowded every even- ing. WEST WASHINGTON. James L.

Ber- ry, organist, The concert given by the Emer- ald Glee Club, was a grand success, the singing of Miss Babe Jackson was the choice of the evening. It is to be hope that this club will con- tinue under the leader of Prof. R. S. Parrott. Itis said Miss Lydia Stewart was the best dress lady at the re- ception of the Bright Star Social. several gentlemen lost their coats and hats at the reception Tuesday evening, it would be well for the persons who took them to return them at once. The B. S.S. Club gave their sec- ond grand reception on Tuesday eve’g last at Potomac Hall which was handsomely decorated. A beau- tifal banner adorned the center of the hall with the word “welcome” which assured every one present that the) were there for an eve- ning enjoyment. The music, for the occasion by Prof. O. Lee’s or- chester was all that heart could wish. Wm. Swann ofthe O ¢ ola Club was the polite floor manager, who added greatly to the enjoy- ment of the evening in introducing several new dances. At 103 o’clock the clab consisting of Miss L. Ou- den, Pres; Kiss K. Rennet, Vice Pres; Mrs. B. Jackson, See’y; Miss C. Hawkin’s, Asst. Sec’y; Miss H. Beall, Treas; and Misses M. Jackson, P.
