AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA
Revival Services Still Going on With Great
Success.
A Bold Robber Holds Up Persons on
the Street-COrporation Court
and Police Cases.

Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church is
now the scene of a large revival service,
which is being conducted by Mr.. Stakeley,
an evangelist from Pennsylvania. He spoke
to q large congregation last night, and
proved himself a genuine success. Mr..
Stakeley is simple and earnest in address
ing his hearers, and uses most convincing
Illustrations and arguments a means of
producing practical results. His discourse
last night was listened to with marked at
tention.
The religious wave that struck this city
some two months ago does not seem to
have abated in the least, and from the
numerous revival services that have been
held much good has been done. 1t is esti-
mated that in all the meetings together
more than one thousand persons have been
converted
The services at the Railroad Mission last
night. conducted by Mr.. E. w. Gamble, We're
quite Interesting and largely attended. The
brotherhood meeting was held at the close
of the services.
Married Last Night.
The entertainment hall of the Young
Mems Sodality Lyceum. which is being
used as place of worship by the Roman
Catholics of this city during the extensive
repairs to st. Mary's Church. was crowded
to its fullest capacity last night at $50
o'clock by the many friends of Mr.. Thomas
p. McDermott and Miss Veronica Theresa
Powers, who had come to witness their
marriage. Rev. Father Cutler, assisted by
Rev. Father Kenefick, performed the GER
emony and made the happy couple one.
Mr.. j. Harry Rice acted as best man. The
ushers were Charles Powers, a brother of
the bride; James Callan and Enoch Iyles.
The hall was profusely decorated with cut
flowers and potted plants. Mr.. and Mrs.
McDermott left for a bridal trip through
the north.
A young man named Make Daniel, who is
an employe Of the Washington Southern
railway at the Fayette street station, was
assaulted by some one unknown shortly
after midnight last night, and but for the
timely appearance of Mr.. Brooke Adams
with revolver would doubtless have been
severely dealt with. From what could be
learned of the affair 1t appears that Daniel
was walking down Cameron street toward
Henry when the man jumped on him from
behind the watch box on the corner, grab
bling him by the throat and demanding his
money. Daniel told the man he only had
fifteen cents in his pocket whereupon the
man clutched his throat tighter but Mr..
Adams appeared and scared the man off
without serious results.
