fCoMMUN1cATED

The "Alexandria Mandolin, Banjo
and Guitar Club" las it has been term
ed) has been the target of considerable
comment through the Washington and
city papers during the past several
weeks, mainly that "the club had dis
banded owing to dissatisfaction exist
ing amongst its members" This state
ment we would say (as members of the
club) is wholly without foundation.
The club has never disbanded, but, in
order to increase its membership,
changed the name of the club to "The
Alexandria Musical and Social Club"
and by so doing it has accomplished the
object of its desires; and, moreover,
the financial condition of the club at
present isin a healthy state. Again,
the article above referred to stated that
number have severed their connection
with the club, which is true; but some
were requested upon action being
taken by the club. Alexandria can
still boast of its musical association"
CA. M. and S. Co., as the article stated
s.the only one it could boast of had dis
banded;n whereas some of its musical
talent have gone, yet there are others
as well qualified to acceptably fill their
places. Preparations for a musical
entertainment are now under consider
alton. MEMBERS OF THE CLUB.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
The Trolley Strike.

BROOKLYN, n. V, Jan. 22.-The At
lantic avenue trolley company started
twelve cars on each of its three lines
this morning between five and six
o'clock. Several sections of wire were
cut this morning but with this excep.
ton the police at 9 o'clock reported
everything quiet, and that no outbreaks
had occurred since midnight. The line
men of the Gates avenue line held q
meeting this morning and decided to
strike. The superintendent OF the
Gates avenue line says that as soon as
wires are repaired he will start Gates
avenue cars, and also those OF Myrtle
avenue line, which has not yet been
orened.
The situation this morning is most
serious. The troops have been fired
upon, attacked with stones, brick bats
and other missiles under cover of dark
ress ami fog. They have faced the
riotous mobs and the wonder is that
they have withheld their fire. They
have discharged volleys over the heads
of crowds, they have jabbed the street
gangs with bayonets, they have done
everything but shoot people down.
The point has now been reached
when forbearance ceases to be virtue.
The troops have now been ordered to
fire upon any person seen throwing a
missile or shooting at them. Appar-
emily there must be serious slaughter
before peace can be restored. The
rlobs which caused trouble yesterday
afternoon and last night did not as
semble to-day. There were distur-
Dances, however. Wires were cut and
cars interfered with at points away
from the stations of the troops. No
end of the strike is in sight. The day
for compromise has passed. Arbitra-
ton is no longer thought of.
Troops from Hudson and Troy, are
in readiness to start for Brooklyn.
Strikers have continued to place ob-
structions on the tracks to-day and TO
plead with the new men to quit work.
A wagon containing some motormen
and conductors was attacked, but the
soldiers charged and dispersed the mob.
No one was hurt. Inspector Bennings,
of the railroad company, was attacked
by strikers, but escaped with slight in
juries. The Mayor has issued procla-
nation in which he says law and order
will be maintained if it takes all the
State forces. A writ of mandamus for
the company to show why cars are not
run will be heard tomorrow.

The BROOKLYN STRIKE.-Seven
thousand National Guardsmen and fif-
teen or sixteen hundred policemen
were not strong enough yester-
day to make the resumption of the
street railway traffic in Brooklyn prac-
ticable.
A company of New York militiamen
attacked by strikers fired into the mob
yesterday evening, but so far as learn
ed wounded no one badly. Sunday
night the trolley wires on many of the
Brooklyn lines were cut, and many of
tae linemen, through sympathy for the
strikers, refused to repair them. The
fact that eight thousand men were un-
der arms did not deter the strikers from
interfering with the running of cars
whenever they found an opportunity.
Shots fired from house wounded two
policemen.
Men to take the place of strikers are
being engaged in other cities and from
the unemployed in Brooklyn. One
hundred new men were received at the
Ridgewood carhouse of the Brooklyn
Heights Company yesterday, and
smaller numbers of men were received
at other depots. Fifty men left Balti-
more yesterday to take positions as
motormen and conductors on the troll
ley street car lines.

THE FIDELITY AssoCIATIoN.-Ed.
ward Blatt and others filed petition
in Washington yesterday in the suit
against the Fidelity Building and Loan
Association, asking that the former or.
der OF the court be rescinded, by which
Mr.. G. Hatley Norton, the receiver, be
commanded to deposit the funds in his
charge in Washington. They claim
that Mr.. Norton was collusively ap-
pointed to the receivership of this com
pany in Virginia by the petition of the
officers of the company, and that he OBJ
tanned permission from the District
Court to deposit the funds in the First
National Bank of this city.
The petition further states that Mr..
Norton has filed no report of lis trans
actions, but that the funds have been
removed from the jurisdiction Of the
District Court. The claim is made
that Mr.. Norton is acting solely in the
interest of the Fidelity company, aud
that he is about to receive payment
from several debtors to the company.
They have no objection to the pay
ments being made, but do object to the
money being deposited out of the Dis
trict. They want an injunction against
such removal. The solicitors gave no.
tice that they would call the petition
up for argument Wednesday next.

STEAMBOAT PRoJEcT.-Mr. Russell
Colgrove, superintendent Of the Col
grove Transportation Company of
Washington, was in Baltimore yester-
day arranging to start new steamboat
line to run from Baltimore to Norfolk.
The line is to run in opposition to the
Baltimore Steam Packet Company,
which now has practically monop
oily of the steamboat travel to Norfolk
from this port.
Mr.. Colgrove obtained terms at which
pier can be secured. He also exam
ined the Jane Mosely, lying at Light
street wharf, and inquired the price for
which she could be bought. In speak
ing of the new enterprise, Mr.. Colgrove
said: sour company is chartered in
New York and has strong financial
backing. Mr.. Barnaby, New York
capitalist, is president of the syndicate
aud is also connected with the Knicker.
hooker Steamboat Company. 1t was al
first intended to run line of steamers
between Washington and Norfolk.
This plan has been changed and an
opposition to the Old Bay Line from
Baltimore will be started. "The COM
pany has purchased the side-wheel
steamer City of Richmond, now at New
London, Conn, and she will be put on
the new route as soon as the details
have been arranged. We will put two
boats on the route, which will give US
daily line. The Jane Mosely seems
adapted for our purposes and we may
buy her. We are looking at another
steamer now in New York city. Either
of these vessels will ell the bill."-Balt.
