CRY SCHOOL BoARD.-The city school board
met last night and, in the absence of the presi-
dent. Trustee John T. Sweeney presided, ten
trustees with the superintendent and clerk
being present. The present janitors, Mr.. Penn
and Mr.. Griffen, of the white schools we're re-
elected, as was Charles Brown of Seaton colored
school building, but Vim. Fortune was chosen
janitor OF Hallowell colOred school building
vice Sexton Wright. The board determined to
make no change in the books used in the schools
except to adopt Holmes Revised Reader and
Speler so far as the old books could be ex-
changed free for the new ones. The time Of
opening the schools was fixed for the first week
OF September. 50 that, as heretofore, the Alex
andria public schools will be open full ten
months. The board certified to the correct
ness OF the school census and to the efficiency
OF Messrs. Field and Price, employed assist
ants to the clerk, in taking the census. The
accounts Of the treasurer failed, by some mad
vertence, to be laid before the board, and the
board adjourned to meet on call as soon as the
clerk should receive the accounts.
The CENSUS OF ALExANDRIA.-It appears
very difficult to obtain the exact figures of the
population OF this city. The last figures of the
Census Office differ by about 500 from those
first furnished by that Office and the rough
count Of the cards only has so far been made
But enough has been ascertained to show that
the increase Of Alexandria upon the popula-
ton shown in 1880 has not been great. This is
confirmed by the school census Just taken,
which shows a slight increase in the number Of
white children, but decrease in the number
OF colored children. Considerable numbers of
colored people have moved away and their
place has been supplied by an accession of
white people.
Notes.-The county court held brief ses-
sion ycsterday-probated the will of John
jackson and made an order changing the route
Of a county road at the base of Seminary
Hill.--The electric light embroglio between
the city and the Schuyler Light Company is
now finally settled.--Washingto Danen-
hover, +. Hufty, Allan Jackson, John L. Dod-
son and others have obtained a charter for the
Springlake Park Company to deal in real es-
tate.-The Hydrsulion Fire Company has ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Chester, Pa, at
the fremen's parade there.--Messrs Frank
Hume, s. F. Corbett and Wilson have been ap-
pointed by Judge Chichester to make con tracts
for the repair of county roads.

SAVED FROM DEATH.
How Young Mans Suicidal Plans
Were Frustrated.

"1f 1 didn't succeed this time will the
next. said William Pixton after Dr. Ellyson of
the Emergency Hospital had saved him from
the grave. Pixton is about twenty-five years
old. but he is tired of life. Yesterday after
noon about o'clock he took dose of tncture
OF digitalis after writing farewell letter to his
mother. He would no doubt have soon passed
out Of the world had not the letter been deliv-
cred to Mr.. Beveridge Of the firm of Webb Il
Beveridge, in whose store Pixton was employed
as clerk. The young man inclosed the letter
in an envelope, which he addressed to Mr..
Bevendge, and left it with the book keeper to
hand to Mr.. Beveridge when he returned
The letter was delivered soon afterward and
excited MIR. Beveridge's suspicion. He insti-
tuted search for Pixton, whom he found lying
in the cellar. He was unconscious at the time
and would doubtless have died in a short time
had he been allowed to remain there, but Mr.
Beveridge had him removed to the Emergency
Hospital. where DIR. Ellyson succeeded in re-
storing him to consciousness
IL was then that he made use of the remark
above quoted. The young mans parents were
notified OF what had occurred to their son. and
they were soon in the hospital at his bedside
The letter was delivered to the distressed
mother, but she refused to divulge its contents
About 10 O'Clock the patient had sufficiently
recovered to walk from the hospital with as
sistance. and he was removed to his home on
Columbia Heights. The cause Of Pixton's act
is said to be i'll health. He has been sick and
haunted with the fear of an early death.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS.
MIR. Dumont Finds Law for Protect
Ing the Parks.

Mr.. Dumont who prosecutes in the Police
Court on behalf of the District, has found law
under which persons can be prosecuted for
walking on the public parks as well as for tres
passing on the parks in front of houses. The
law was passed in 1873, one year after the pas
sage of the act for the protection of the private
parks, and suitable penalty is provided.
The park watchmen will again assert their
authority and arrest persons the same as they
did before it was thought that there was no
law.
John Hughes, an old veteran, was before
Judge Mills this morning for being on the grass
In Seaton Park. He was also charged with being
an habItual drunkard, and he plead guilty to
both charges
MIR. Dumont thought that one days acquaint-
ance with drunken man was hardly enough
to sustain charge of habitual drunkenness,
although he pleads guilty; but Hughes evil
IDENTITY wanted to go down and the Judge ac-
commodated him with a 80 DAYS sentence.

OBSTRUCTING A CROSSING.
"A Railroad Engineer Not Held Respon-
sible for the Holding Of His Train.

Charles Shelton, an engineer on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, was before Judge
Mills In the Police Court this morning charged
with obstructing the crossing ct H street north
east about a week ago. Witnesses were called
to tell Of the alleged obstruction at the cross
ing mentioned. They testified that the cross
ing was obstructed between ten and If
teen minutes and that several street cars and
herdics were stopped on either side Of the
train. One witness said that when q man
called to one Of the train men he responded:
'The people can 60 to H." There
was no proof that the defendant had
any connection with the train, and not being
represented by counsel he was sworn in his
own behalf when the proof had failed to hold
him responsible. He admitted that he was the
engineer on the engine attached to the train,
but he said that he had no authority to move
1t without signal from the conductor, who
had full charge Of the train.
The court held that the engin eer under the
circumstances was not liable and the case was
dismissed. Ii any one was liable, the court
said, 1t was the conductor.

miss sCHLEY,s CHOICE.
Her Engagement to the Nephew OF an
Earl.

Society circles ct Newport, says . New York
World special, are much interested in an en-
gagement which il shortly to be announced be-
tween Virginia Schley, daughter Of the COM
mander of the flagship Baltimore, and Ralph
Montague Stuart wortley, nephew OF the Earl
Of Wharneclife and son Of Sir James Montague
Stuart Wortley. Miss Schley is in her twenty
first year and described by those who know her
as very pretty girl, with unaffected and win
ming Manners which have won for her q host
offriends in the society of Network, Washington
and elsewhere. She is Of medium height, light
complexioned, with brown hair and gray brown
eyes. Mr.. Stuart wortley is between twenty
looking young man of light complexion and
with light mustache. He belongs to a we'll
known English family that is one of the oldest
in the West Riding Of Yorkshire and connected
by blood and marriage with many families
prominent in the British aristocracy The
present Earl of Wharnecliffe is third in his
line and married to a daughter Of the Earl OF
Hardwood. The seats of the family are Wort
ley Hall. Sheffield, Yorkshire, Belmont Castle.
Meigle, Perthshire, with a London residence at
Mharnecliffe House, Cursor street, Mayfair.
What makes the present engagement all
the more interesting is the fact that young
Stuart-W ortley is about to become an Ameri-
can citizen. He came to this country
three or four years ago and determined to learn
the railroad business. He entered the employ
mont OF the Richmond and Danville Railroad.
and now lives at Portsmouth. Va, where he
holds an important post in the service of
the company. The Schleys come of an old
Maryland family. Capt. Winfield Scott Schley,
who commands the flagship of the North At
lantic squadron and will on Saturday have the
honor of conducting President Harrison to
Boston, has a distinguished record in the navy,
and commanded the Thetis in the Greedy relief
expedition. For his services on this occasion
he was not long ago voted by the Maryland
legislature a handsome gold watch and chain
as a testimonial Of regard in behalf of the peo-
pie of the state.

CABLE CARS AT CROSSINGS
Col. Robert Major Moore and Capt Rossell
held consultation yesterday with reference to
the cable road and the means that might be
adopted to lessen the number Of accidents
along the line. They took no definite action in
the matter, but it is probable that the COM
pany will be required to stop its cars before
crossing the streets instead OF afterward. and it
ID thought this would prove a measure Of safety.
CRowDINa OUT THE DEAD.
The Colored Benevolent Society has long
owned burial ground right by what ia now
the boundary line OF the new Geological Park.
The cemetery is in greatly overcrowded con-
dition and for over year has been closed by
order Of the health department.. A portion of
the cemetery, IL acres in extent lies within the
limits of the park and has been condemned for
purposes OF Improvement. This tract of land
is crowded with dead bodies which must be re-
moved but the question has arisen whether
they shall be reinterred in the other part of
the park or removed somewhere else. 1t is
understood that the trustees of the cemetery
are willing to adopt the former course. but this
cannot be done without the consent Of the
Commissioners, to whom the whole matter has
been referred. 1t is thought that the Commits
sioners will consent to the proposed plan and
the park commissioners are expecting q favor
able decision from them in a few days.

Please raise your potential voice against the
destruction of the beautiful shade trees on the
north side of Pennsylvania avenue between
18th and 18th streets. 1t is evidently done to
throw into holder relief the new buildings
being there constructed, bYt is none the less
an outrage on the public and an act of van
dalism which mars the symmetry of our street
parking and tends to destroy one of the most
lovely as well as health-giving attractions of
our lovely city. J.F.

though Bader, Riddle, Phillips and Bird ought
to stand a good show in the chase. Gleason is
going to stand by the old ship until her deck is
