ALEXANDRIA MATTERS,
Items OF Interest Gathered for tae
URepublican'a'' Readers,

"RepublicanP' Readers,
II is stated here that at the meeting OF the
common council on Tuesday next Judge
Charles L. Stuart will present to that body
the papers which have been authorized / y
the Democratic committee, praying that
body TO send the election OF councilman
from the third ward back to the people
again, inasmuch as the recent election held
for that purpose was Illegal, as the judges
OF said election closed the polls before the
setting OF the sun, which is contrary to law.
The members OF the bar OF this city met
yesterday morning at the Office OF Mr..
Leonard Marbury, on King street, for the
purpose OF recommending one OF their nu n
Der to the Virginia legislature for the posi-
ton Of Judge Of the corporation court
There were only two factions present, one
in the interest Of Mr.. Marbury, tue other 10
the interest OF Mr.. j. X. NJ. Norton. After
countiIg g noses II was found that Mr.. Nor
ton In all probability had a IN ijOrity OF those
present. The friends OF Mr.. Marbury con.
sequently withdrew before choice was
made, refusing to submit to the action OF
the caucus. The friends of Mr. Norton re-.
mained, and after indorsing that gentleman
for the position, telegraphed their decision
to State Senator Moore In Richmond. Petit
tions are now being freely circulated among
the voters of the city by the friends of both
parties, soliciting their Endorsement.
The condition Of Mr.. y. II d Smoot was

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal stock
holders meeting came off on Monday, and
was attended by but two individuals, Treas
urer Archer and Controller Turner, of the
Maryland board OF public works, holding
the controlling stock, l0,00S shares. They
elected the following officers President,
Stephen Gambrill; board of directors, Col.
j. G. Berret, Patrick Hamill, r. A. Dobbin,
John Humbird (who were re-elected) !,
James A. l.. Mcclure, elected In place OF
Col Clinton p. Paine, and Buchanan Schley,
elected in place of Spencer Watkins. The
board Of directors will select a paymaster
to succeed Mr.. Gambrill, but 1t is said not
to be unlikely that the Office OF president
may be consolidated with that Of the super
intendent and paymaster as an economical
measure. The present salary OF the presi-
dent is $1,000, with $1,000 for travelling ex-

MIR. WILLIAMS LOSES his CASE.
Interesting Decision to Those Seeking
Foreign hissions,


The court OF claims reassembled yester-
day, and rendered a number Of decisions.
The case Of the Mississippi Railroad Com
pany against the United States, claim for
compensation for carrying the mails before
the war, was dismissed The claim OF Geo.
w. Williams, for salary as minister TO Hayti
while awaiting instructions from the De-
paitment Of State, was also dismissed on
the ground that his salary did not begin to
run until after he had filed satisfactory
bond. Mr.. Williams was appointed minis
ter to Ilayi by President Arthur In the
closing days OF his administration, but his
appointment was not satisfactory to the
present administration, and he was super.
seded before he could leave the country for
his post The claim OF Horace +. Mullln,
formerly an officer OF the navy, was also
dismissed. He based his claim on the
ground that the court martial by which he
was tried was improperly constituted, aud
that his subsequent dismissal from the SER
vice was Illegal. The court sustained the
legality of the court-nlartlal. The court
reported it's conclusions in the case OF the
ship Detsey (claim under the French spo-
liation act), and also rejected the claims Of
Israel Warner and Price Connolly on the
ground that they were not loyal to the
government during the war.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Death of an Ex. x.PoIiceman Due to suf-
location.

John Mccarthy, bartender at the Emmet
House, corner Of c street and New Jersey
avenue, early yesterday morning noticed
smoke issuing from the room of expo
liceman John Meagher. He entered the
room, found the bed on fire, and Meagher
lying upon the bed in an insensible condi-
ton. He called an officer to his aid, aud on
returning to the room they found Meagher
dead. 1t is thought that the man lit cigar
while in bed, and that the bed took fire
either from the cigar or match. DIR. Tyler
held an autopsy, which showed death to be
due to congestion Of the lungs and suffoca-
ton by the smoke filling the room. The
deceased was formerly soldier, serving In
Texas. He was appointed on the police
force last April, and or Dec last was
tried for intoxication, and dismissed the
service on the 3lst ultimo. He had been
drinking heavily OF late.
