Affairs I'm West wasbtnrton

ASSOCIATED CHARITIEs.-In spite of the in
clement weather Thursday, a large number of
persons attended the monthly meeting Of the
their rooms ON 3!st street. The report of the
secretary showed a large number OF families
were relieved during the month and that there
are on the rolls number of persons desiring
employment who are very deserving. The
Children's Aid society, of the Presby terrain
church, has contributed $24.4O to be used only
for poor children in buying shoes and stockings,
Mr. +. l.. Moore stated that shoes were found to
be the article most needed. TWENTY-FIVE orders
wer issued yesterday for groceries and fuel.
IHE PEABODY LIBRARY.-A petition was pre-
sented some time ago, and signed by the lead
Ing citizens OF West Washington, requesting
the trustees of the Peabody library, of this
place, to have that institution opened during
the day as we'll as during the evening, so as to
give those who cannot go there at night the
opportunity OF procuring books and other liter
allure during the day. Persons desiring books
cannot go there before O'Clock in the .vening
1t Is estimated that small additional
expenditure will be required to do as requested
by the petitioners.
ARRESTS FOR A WEEK.-During the past week
eleven arrests were mace in the third precinct
and, with the exception OF one, all were Tor in.

X.
THE MIDLAND STATIONS CAsE-The first
case involving station rights of the Midland
railroad on the original O. and A. line, has been
decided against that corporation. When the
Orange and Alexandria railroad was projected
many locations on the line were offered free as
the sites OF stations. At many of these places
the owners OF the ground put up stores and
were appointed station agents. Many months
ago when the road passed into new hands the
station agents were directed to come to Alexan-
dria ana give bond and surety. This occasioned
complaint and some changes in station agents
and resistance was made in some cases TO the
further use of the ground on which the station
had been placed. At Fairfax station, Mr.
Mitchell objected to the putting up OF a new
house. The matter went to the cOurts and
Judge Keith has now decided supporting Mitch
ellis claim.
FROZEN TO DEATH.-A colored man named
Terrill was found frozen to death at his cabin at
Oak HILL near Alexandria, yesterday. Some
OF the neighbOrS, seeing no movement at the
cabin, entered and found the colored man
cabin was better covered up and was still alive
1t was cared for in the neighborhood.
NOTEs-The Midland railway Is projecting a
daily milk train connecting all the diaries from
Charlottesville to this city with Washingtop.-
The fire plugs have been cleared OF snow by the
chain gang. Until they were dug out it would
have been very difficult for the engines to have
reached them.-The weather and the snow on
the street have led to a suspension OF the highly
successful meetings which Rev. DR.. Hippo has
been conducting at the Baptist church.-The
mayor has fined John Magruder, colored SIS for
disorderly cOnduct.-The Virginia Midland
Railroad company have established q new sta.
ton at place called BURNSIDE" a short dis.
lance east of Fairfax station.

The annual banquet of the Capital Bicycle

Wiliards hotel, last Monday evening, of which
mention was made in THE STAR, was an occa.
sion long to be remembered by all present
There were no invited guests, as it was strictly
club affair. After enjoying an elaborate ban
quet, accompanied by music, very interest
Ing literary program was taken up, and the
exercises continued until after midnight. The
toasts were all dry ones, but the witty responses
made up for any lack of liquid stimulants
Most OF the subjects discussed were of a char
acter describing the main incidents in the
career OF the club during the past year. The
program was very uniquely and handsomely
arranged-on tinted paper printed in carmine
INK The border OF the four pages was COM
posed OF the names of ali the members OF the
ciuo, one hundred and twenty-five in all. Mr..
Jas. :. Spinney, of New York, an honorary
memoer OF the club, was present, and when
calied upon made most delightful impromptu
The toasts were as follows: Annual address
by the president, John NJ. Killits; 'Our
Lady Friends" Leland Howard: "Absent
Members" Clarence q. Allen; "That Melon
hunt. A. p. Greeley; practical Bicycling -
Gabriel +. Johnston; "Our Old Club Houses, y
Max Hansman; "Our New Club House," james

C Marrled Members" S. z. Moses; ''The Capital
Outing" ]: K. Litteil; "Our Roads," Edison B.
presentation of Billiard Table," Clarence G.
Alien. After the toast to the new club house a
new song by one of the members, immortaliZ-
ing the turning point in the clubs career, was
sung with spirit. All the money for the pur-
chase OF the lot has been raised within the club.
