sensation In social Life.


Society has been much shocked, and
Alexandrias gossip merchants have been
supplied with stock for six months
crusade by the sudden and uncallcd-for
termination of the marriage engagement of
q certain young couple. Mr.. Meeks, an
employe ofthe Midland Railroad, has been
paying attention to very attractive young
lady, and for some time past the two have
contemplated matrimony. Meeks had fur
nished apartments, and their friends were
daily looking forward to the wedding as
tho brightest social event OF the season.
Several times day was appointed when
they would reach the happy termination of
their desire, but for some reason which
cannot be readily explained, few days
would be added to the allotted time. Re-
Gently things were running more smoothly,
and the prospects of the marriage appeared
bright. Wednesday night was appointed
for the wedding, and the attendants of the
bride had assembled to participate in the
ceremony. The tardiness of the groom was
explained by note, begging for post
ponement. He said that his mother, by
sobs, entreaties and threats had forced him
to desist from marrying at present,
although il was still his ardent desire
to meet his love and be Joined to her.
The relatives and friends of the bride are
justly indignant at the cruel and ungen-
tlemanly treatment she has received at the
hands of the tickle Meeks. They rightly
contend that il he was SO easily influenced
by his mother, he should not have brought
matters SO near to head and then abruptly
refuse to marry. He must have known
his mothers wishes long before the night
appointed for the wedding. Tho young
lady enjoys the reputation of being uncom-
monty attractive and intelligent, and if
Meeks would make advances to her to-
morrow, the probabilities are that she would
peremptorily refuse to notice him.
Meeks is supposed to have packed his
satchel and left the city, to remain until
public opinion is directed from his dastardly
conduct. The young lady's friends are Of
the opinion that it is very fortunate for
her that she was not joined for life to q
man SO. much her inferior in character and
mental attainments.
Mr.. Charles Jones, brakeman on the
Midland Railroad, was badly mashed while
coupling cars at Charlottesville on Tuesday.
Yesterday valuable COW, belonging to a
colored woman, was run over by train on
| the Midland Railroad and killed.
The body of white man has been found
| in the woods near Fairfax Station. The
body has been dead sor some time.
The Fannie Southern, heavily loaded
with oysters, is the only new arrival at the
wharves.
| Two colored boys, arrested for egg steal
ing, and tramp, breaking the monotony
of travel by riotous conduct, and free ant
easy drunk, were the only individual
occupying quarters at the station-houst
| this morning.

Another souI Made Happy.

Samuel Stafford. esq, business manager of
the Sunday Capital, was in an unusually
pleasant mood yesterday, and it was quite
a while before the secret of his happiness
was discovered, and then only by accident,
as the following will prove: He stopped at
Aman's, ON Ninth street, to solicit an ad-
vertisement, which hs has been after for
some time, judging from the number of
times the writer has met him there,
and, calling for some cigars, he
pulled out of his pocket what
he supposed was silver dollar to
pay the bill. Instead of being a silver dol
lar it proved to be a perfect little gem of a
chatelaine watch, stem-setter and stem
winder, worth SIS, which he found in can
of coffee purchased from the Importers
Tea Company $40 Market Space. Step in
to-day or tomorrow and buy a can of
either tea OF coffee. You may get a nice
present in the can you buy. for every can
has present of some kind worth from ten
cents up. Remember the number, $40
Market Space, and the price, 81 per can, @
cans for IS, IL cans for $40, 20 cans for $50,
and GO cans for $50

of the useless condition Of pumps at Third

The vital statistics of the District for
January have just been issued by DIR.
Townshend, and show death list Of 1888,
which is smaller number than during the
corresponding month Of any of the last
eight years. Among the deaths noted there
was / case of smallpox, from scarlet
fever, 15 from diphtheria and 20 from old
age. There were deaths from accidents,
2 homicides and l suicide. The births
numbered 279 and the marriages GA. 52
persons were buried at public expense.
The liquor license committee have
sent communication to the Commission
ers, in which they beg leave to dissent from
A. G.. Riddles opinion of what constitutes
a resident of the District. Riddles opinion
ON this subject, they claim, does not apply
to residents keeping house whose sigma
lures are required to applications for liquor
licenses. The proposed change in the quail
| ifcatious of resident would entirely
| change the system of granting licenses, and
| in the opinion of the board, prove detri-
mental to the public interest.

1.-TWO Nights in ROme.''
Jeffreys Lewis and her excellent company
scored a success in Gunther's emotional drama
"rwo Nights In Rome" The scene is laid in
Rome during the Carnival. The plot, which Is
unusually complex, is kept well In view, ar
fordng opportunity for picturesque grouping
and powerful dramatic effects. The story fol-
lows the fortunes and vicissitudes OF Gerald
Massey, a baronet's son, who, disappointed
in life, exiles himself. While an artist
in Rome, he marries Aatoaia, a Colsicaq,
discarded wife OF Louis Beiledittt.
Gddid'S first love, Ecelyn Aubrey comes upon
the scene and the two explain. From this for
ward the dramatist has shown the strength OF
his art, increasing complications only TO be un-
rayeled In the climaxes In the fourth act. or
"rwo Nights In Rome," 1t may be said II was
| one Of the best OF the many new plays, is ele-
gantly costumed In its presentation and is
| splendidly enacted. II Will be sure 10 please

pany OF firstclass artists. "Two Nights in
Rome" Will be produced at Ford's opera-house
