SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS
The Christmas celebration of the M. E.
Church, South, Sunday school was held
last night under the direction of Mr.. j.
f. Alexander, superintendent. The
church was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. The programme rendered was
1.-THE Morning STAR" by the Emma
Pitt Company, of Baltimore, and was
beautiful. The pulpit platform was
beautifully trimmed with green's and
lighted with banquet lamps, and in the
center daintily trimmed tree revolv-
ed on musical Christmas tree holder,
which at the same time discoursed
Christmas songs sweetly. The music
by the school was in every way most
gratifying. Misses Rebecca Pollard
and Edith Graham sang duet, Miss
Pollard solo and Misses Mary Mays,
Mallie Lynch and Mabel Graham a
trio to the delight and admiration of
all present. One ofthe most interest
ing features was the song, 1--WE Are
Little Sewers" sung by the primary
class. The singing was in charge of Mr..
Henry K. Field, assisted by Miss Alice
Z NOUNS, OISdHlSp, duu I'LL. LIZ w
tiers, cornetist. Altogether it was the
most successful entertainment ever
given by this school. The whole con-
cluded with the distribution of pres
ents, which were numerous and hand
some, and of candies and sweatmeats
to the children.
The Second Presbyterian Sunday
school held Christmas celebration
last night. The church was handsomely
decorated, and every one present great
ly enjoyed the entertainment. The
singing was very good and was q
feature of the entertainment. Rev.
Mr.. Rice delivered an appropriate adj
dress. He was the recipient of suit
able present, as were also Superinten-
dent George w. Jameson, Assistant
Superintendent Alfred Fl. Thomson,
most of the teachers, scholars and

CHILD BITTEN BY A Yesterday
evening little boy was severely bitten
on the face by dog in the western
part of the city. A dog had run into
his yard, and it was followed by several
ours, one of which snapped at the little
fellow and planted its teeth into his
face on both sides of his nose, one of
the dogs teeth barely missing oDe of
the cbild's eyes. An officer was sent
on search for the dog this morning
with orders to shoot it on sight, as no
one seems to own it. Efforts are also
being made to learn the name of the
owner of the dog which bit the child.

SENT TO THE Work HoUsE.-Com-
plant has often been made by neigh
bors of the disorderly and disgusting
proceedings carried on in small
house in the extreme western portion
of the city, which has for some
years been occupied by Louis Boswell.
The house belongs to Sefer Blouse ard
adjoins his property. Boswell has been
occupying the lower floor and Charles
ard Emma Lovelace the upper. The
kitchen floor, the planks of which have
long since disappeared, is used for the
filthiest purposes, while the accumula-
tons in the yard are calcu-
LATED to breed pestilence. Boswell was
fined month or two ago for maintain
ing nuisance on his premises in re-
fusing to employ the Scavenger. He
keeps three dogs, and they sleep IN
bed with their owner. Lovelace and
his wife are in durance vile, the former
on the chain gang and the latter In
the work house. Charges were yester-
day made against Boswell for drunk
enness, keeping disorderly house,
obtaining money under false pretenses
10y fortune telllng), MAINTAINING null
sances on his premises and for chronic
idleness. When officer Beach went
after Boswell he was up, but shaggy
dog was in the bed curled up in the
shape of a figure 6 indulging in a morn
ing nap. At the station house the &C
cused plead guilty to all the charges
and was put on street car and sent to
the work house for ninety days. Bos
we'll is said to be held in awe by many
Of his customers. Oflate he has been
going into frances, at which times he
works his fingers at those whom fate
is against and fills them with snakes,
lizards and other repulsive reptiles.
Blouse has been notified by the author
tiles to clean the house and yard and
in future to rent it to people who real
ize they are living in civilized COM
munity.

er to run to North West Alexandria,
through the Lloyd property, or run
east and pass the grand stand of
the race track. 1t is said suit is to be
Instituted at an early day against the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railroad Company for damages
sustained by the property owners at

have made it difficult to cross, as the
centre of it has been raised over two
feet. This is the road between WASH
ington and Alexandria.

DIsoRDERLY WAsHINaToNIANs.-
S. Tennis aud Newton Garnett, two
Westinghouse, came here last night
for the purpose of attending dance in
the western part of the city. While
there their conduct became so disorder
ly that they prevented the other at
tendants from enjoying themselves, and
Officers TIGER and Sherwood were final
ly called to quiet the strangers. They
concluded to return to Washington on
the HOS train, but also seemed anxious
to do something here before they left in
order to let it be known they had been
in Alexandria. One of them surveyed
Officer Sherwood and pointing to his
badge said. "What kind OF bluff is
thai? ?" "What are you trying to give
us?" and made other defiant remarks.
They were told to get aboard of the
train, or they would be arrested, but
this command only brought forth jeers,
when Mr.. Sherwood grasped one of
them by the collar and Mr.. TIGER the
other. They at first were disposed to
resist, but the uplifted sticks of the
officers had the proper effect. At the
station house they asked to be released
for their appearance at z o'clock to
night, and each producing S. they were
allowed to depart. 1t is not thought
they will come back.
