AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA
Quiet New Year and Little or. No Dis
turbance.
Col unibia Engine Again on Duty-A
Handsome and Practical Fire
Fightcr-Other Notes.

New Year day passed off quietly in this
city, and but few arrests were made by
the police, and those only for trifing Of
fer5ses. There was little or no drunken
res:s. and, on the whole the day was
model one Owing to the fact that the
day fell on a church festival, the Episcopal
churches held services In the morning,
which were largely attended. The post
Office observed Sunday hours and the banks
were closed all day. Many of the mer-
chants closed their places of business dur
ing the afternoon to give their clerks a
holiday. All day long the ponds and creeks
in the vicinity were crowded with skaters,
ho were enjoying the first good freeze OF
the winter. The clubs and some few OF
the houses kept open house, and Calling
in an informal way was INDUCED IN.
The Columbia Engine.
The engine of the Columbia Fire Com
rahy, which has been out of service 1or
several weeks past to have new nickei
jacket put on, and which has received
Thorough overhauling, was put into serV-
ice again this morning and is now one of
the handsomest engines in this section OF
the country The repairs have cost about
SOD The nickel plating on the jacket was
dcne in Washington and the balance OF the
work by Alexandria mechanics. VINO are
members of the company. The members OF
the company have every reason to 1eeI
proud of their engine, which is record
breaker" 1t is more than probable that
the engine will be sent to Atlanta next
summer to enter the water-throwlng con-
tests of the exposition. The annual meet
ing of the company will be held at the en-
CINE house, when the officers for the ensu-

international Athletic Contests.

LONDON, January 2-The Chronicle says
that the London Athletic Club has accepted
the challenge of the New York Athletic
Club, issued on November % last. There
will be nine events and the matches WILL
if possible, take place in New York in May
The secretary of the London Athletic
Club, in reply to an inquiry made on behalf
OF the Associated Press as to the state
nent of the Chronicle that the London
Athletic Club has accepted the challenge
OF the New York Athletic Club, says that
the challenge from New York has not yet
been formally accepted. Negotiations be-
tween the two clubs are still in progress.
The chief difficulty seems to be that the
challenge being an open one, no date is
given, and the London Athletic Club being
engaged in several important meetings be-
fore June cannot spare its best men before
that time and therefore 1t is not thought
possible that team could be sent over be-
fore late in the summer.

AnacOstia Car Line.

Shortly before q o'clock last evening a
slight difficulty occurred in the running of
the Washington and Anacostia railroad
line, caused by Drivers Hayden Of car 10
and Hunt of 20 turning in their cars at the
Anacostia stables. The. men had been at
work all day, and Superintendent Newton,
who during this cold spell has been lit
tie short of men, owing to some of the
drivers being sick, desired them to work
overtime, for pay, which they refused to
do In g. little while, however, Driver
Clark who. had by this time finished his
days work. took car 20 and drove it on
the schedule. Hayden and Hunt reported
for duty this morning, and Hayden was
given his car but Hurt, for reasons which
President Griswold declired to state, was
rot.
President Griswold said today that it is
not true as reported, that the railroad
company does not employ enough men to
do it's work. There is a temporary shortage
he said. but there are ten extra men on the
list, and If more were employed by him
there would be nothing in good weather
fer some of them to do. and it Is his aim
to have every man in the service make a
good living and to give them as good pay
as the receipts of the company will justify.
it is true. he said, that the Congressional
cemetery line has been abandoned for the
winter, but the cars were, he said, with
drawn solely because SO much dirt was put
In the grooved tracks by carts hauling over
them that it was found impossible to run
the cars with any sort of comfort to pas

LATE SPORTING NEW S
GIVING VIGNAUX 1000.
Champion Ives Big Odds to the
French BilIiardist.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January Frank c..
Ives got into the city last night from Grand
Rapids. The champions first move was
his acceptance of the offer of VignauX to
play a match game at fourteen-inch balk
line billiards for $1,000 side.
My original proposition was to give odds
in the side wager" said the Napoleon.
What l said was that l would play Wig
naux match and bet him $1,000 to 5000
that 1 beat him. He evidently mSunder-
stood it, and imagines that offered to play
him 5000 points to 5000. Since, however,
the thing has gone as far as it has, l will
accept the proposition and will give him a
block of 1000 a starter in a 6,Uopoint
game"
"Win the side wager of $4,000 suit you?"
was asked
Yes; that is quite satisfactory. l under
stand that Mr.. NignauXs money is already
up. II this is so we will post ours.
Either Chicago or New York will suit
me. Z The game, however must be played
the last week in February or the first week
in March"

A Loss to the CO1um bias.

The bowling contest scheduled to take
place the alleys of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club this evening between the CO.
lu,nbias and Buena Vistas has been de-
ferred until next Saturday evening. This
postponement is on account of the death
OF Mr.. .Iohn Walker of the c. A. C. team,
which occurred Unexpectedly at his home
in this city last Sunday afternoon.
after a brief illness of typhoid pneumonia.
The interment took place today at Glen
wood cemetery. john Walker will be great
ly missed by the members of the Column
bia Athletic Club, as he was a universal
favorite, and he was the best and most re-
liable of the VIII ged-arrow bowlers, and of
the District Amateur Bowling League. He
won the championship Of the Columbia
Athletic Club for the years Of 1893 and
1894, and also the individual champion
ship prize in the District Amateur Bowl
ing League in the tournament of 1Sl3-94.
He was a genial generous and kind
hearted man ard true and most lovable

The Old Dominion Jockey Club inaugu-
rated the new year by emphasizing the
fact that crookedness on the part of jock
eys will be summarily punished. Zeller
he'd the mount on Leigh in the last race of
the day. and while it was doubtful If he
could have beaten the winner, Chateau.
it was clearly evident that Leigh could
have finished second. But Zellers pull on
his mount permitted Pickaway to take the
place, and Zeller was at once ruled off.
The New Year handicap resulted in "a
hollow victory for Ponce de Leon, the
odds, to l. evidently just suiting him.
The attendance was one of the largest of
the meeting, and the eleven men behind
the states had much the worst of the ar
gument, four favorites and third choice
landing the money The bookmaking priv
ilege was raised yesterday to 500 a day.
The track was heavy and slow, and the
chute was still unfit for racing. The
winners were: Walcott, to 5; Lura, to
1O Ponce de Leon. 4 to 1; Sonora, even
money, and Chateau, to 5.

A Catcher for Washington.

Base ball cranks here cannot understand
why the Washington management does not
make an effort to secure one or more of
the players released by Brooklyn. There's
Tom DAILY, one Of the best catchers in the
country, who formerly played in Wash
ington, caught here in 1889. Since he went
to Brooklyn he has played at third base
and, since Richardson left at second base,
out of his position, and has not always
done himself justice. But as catcher, IL
his arm is all right, he's worth dozen
minor league finds"
And 1t is said that Tom Kinslow and
Cyclone Miller are still out in the cold.

purpose there has been established a

that the amount of work which will be

commission as much as its entire appro--

opened with the director of the United

established at various points within the

New Winter Forage Crop.
Thousand-headed. kale is receiving
some attention in English agricultural
papers as a winter forage plant and
possibly may be used 20 advantage
here. Its growth extends over several
months when there are no other green
crops. 1t is good substitute for tur-
nips and mangel wurzels. AS the crop
belongs to the cabbage family it re-
quires about the same cultivation. It
will grow we'll on any but poor clay
or gravelly soil. The English custom
is to drill it in rows about so inches
apart. and after the plants reach a
fair growth thin out so that they will
be about a foot apart in the rows. The
crop then makes a good green fodder
way into cold weather. If winters
are not too severe it will start up in
the spring and make good green food
until the land is used for other crops.
