A Case OF Bogus Marriage.

Detectives Carter and Quinlan went to Balti-
more this afternoon to bring back John H.
Cox, the butcher arrested in that city few

bogus marriage service had been performed
and the name Of Rev. c. C. Meador forged to
the certificate.
Annie E. Price Of Baltimore, formerly Of st.
Mary's county, Nd, was the girl who figured in
the alleged bogus transaction.
The police are now looking for the man who
impersonated the minister. This is perhaps
the first case ever known Of in this city.

The COMING INAUGURAL.-For the
past forty-eight hours there has been
a ncrits:hle panorama of trains passing
through this city night and day engag-
ed in transporting people to Washing
ton, while steamboats, have played no
little part in swelling the crowd.
Washington, as might be expected, is
densely crowded, and Alexandria is
beginning to feel the effects ofthe over
flow, our streets having been thronged
with strangers all day, boats and trains
between Alexandra and the capital
city having been crowded on each trip.
Members Of different organizations
which have arrived in Washington
were to be seen here to-day, while SOL
dieIs were to be met on every street
some seeming to be remnants of the
old Army of the Potomac who were
looking up landsmarks made familiar
to them during war times. The cleo
trio railway has been taxed to its full
est capacity in carrying passengers to
Mount Vernon, while the cars engaged
on the streets have been kept busy in
meeting the demands made upon them.
Should the weather prove fair during
the next two or three days thousands
will visit our historic city.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.


This has been another quiet week in both
monetary and commercial affairs. while rail
road freight traffic has been somewhat inter
ferred with on account OF the approaching
inauguration There is little of interest do
ing in financial circles and the rates here for
money continue unchanged. In New York
yesterday money gu call WAS easier, hanging
from 81 to 6, last loan at 4. and closing offer
ed at t. Prime mercantile paper 6a6!. In
Baltimore call loans were made at 5iaG per
cent In State securities there Were sales OF
S11 900 Virginia new IS at 20.
New YORK. March 3.-The stock specula-
ton showed no tendency to expand this
morning, and as for the last few days interest
was centered largely in the industrials. The
buying power still comes almost entirely from
the shorts, and while loanins rates still Ii
cate a considerable outstanding short interest.
the demand from that source is expected TO
show serious decrease from this time. The
opening was quiet 1t irregular and SIN; |.
changes from last nights figures but finn
temper was developed, and the leading stocks
ored material advances during the first half
hour In the late dealings, however, there
was marked reaction upon these prices, and
the gains were more than wiped ont. The
genera! list moved over an extremely narrow
range, snd at II o'clock the market was fair
" active and generally heavy at close to first
prices

DIR. LANcELEY REJEcTED.-The Bal
timoro Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church took very decided
action at Hagerstown yesterday in re-
gard to the transfer of ministers from
other conferences into the Baltimore
Conference, and by q vote of 121 to II
protested against the admission Of Rev.
John Ellis LANGLEY, of Toronto, Can
ada, who had been called to the pastor
ate of Mount Vernon Place Church, OF
Baltimore to succeed Rev. A. H. Tut
tie, who has been transferred to the
Newark Conference. 1t is thought that
this decision will also prevent the assign
ment of Rev. T. P. Frost, of Brooklyn,
\. y to the First Church, of Baltimore,
and Rev. Hugh Johnson, also CT Toron-
to, who has been called to the Metro
politaa Church, Washington.
