The GERMAN.-The Alexandria
German Club gave its Christmas ger.
man last evening which in general
beauty far surpassed any dance given in
this city for several years. McBurney's
Hall was tastefully decorated with
evergreens and the soft red lights on
the pretty costumes of the ladies as
they gracefully twined in and cut
through the figures of the german pre-
sented picture to be remembered.
Dr.. Lluis Greene led all of the figures
well and in good style. Among the
chaperones were Mrs. Julian Burke,
Mrs. George S. French, Mrs. Carroll
Ashby, Mrs. Geo. Evans, Miss Wattles
and others. A number of visitors were
present from Baltimore, Washington
and several other cities. The dance
closed at one o'clock and every one
present having spent a delightful even
ing, reluctantly said adieu. The club
will give the next of the series of ger
mans the latter part of January.

CHANGES IN THE SoUTHERN.-The
1st January will see some important
changes in the operating department Of
the Southern Railway, the general
Offices of which are now in Washing
ton. Thus far no official announce
ment has been made, but it is said
that Capt. w. II. Green, whose present
title is general superintendent of the
Southern and K, c., G.. & l.. Railways,
will BIZ made assistant to the general
manager. This will be in the line of g
promotion for Capt. Green, and his au-
thority will doubtless be extended to
take in the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad. The Office of general super
intendent will be abolished, and the
Jurisdiction Of Err. J. 81. Barrett, super
intendent of transportation, will be
made to include the field vacated by
Capt. Green. A year ago MIR. Barrett
was division superintendent at Atlanta,
and on the first of last April was pre-
noted to his present position. This
new advancement comes in the light of
tribute to Mr.. Barrett's ability as a
practical railroad man, following, as it
does, 80 quickly upon the heels of his
other promotions. 1t is furthar believed
that Mr.. G. 81. Hudson, chief engineer
of the Southern Railway, thu Alabama
Great Southern aiiroad, and the K,
c., G. & L. Railway, will leave the
company on the first of the year.
Whether hia successor will be MIR. J. A.
Dodson, superintendent OF track,
bridges, and buildings, or some out
slider, cannot as yet be learned.

when, later IN the day, two cousins by
the name of Reeves went to Manassas
to board the midday train for Wash.
ington for the purpose of getting mar
ried. A telegram was sent to the chief
OF police of Washington to prevent the
marriage. The groom is the son of
Mr. Theo. Reeves, living near Manas-
sas. and the youthful bride is the
daughter of Mr.. George Reeves, of
Bristow, Va. A young couple called at
the City Hall in Washington yesterday
IN quest of marriage license. The
CLERK was suspicious that they were
under age, and questioned them in
that respect. The youth gave his age
as twenty and the girl said she
was nineteen. They were inform
ed that the parents consent would
DO necessary, but that was not
obtalnable, as their home is outside
the District. They did not give their
names or address, but went away with
Alexandria in view, as they were in
formed that the marriage laws of Vir-
glnia were not so exacting. Shortly
after the departure of the disappointed
couple from tho City Hall Detective
Proctor, of the central Office, called up

structions, "if they want to marry hold
or send back Both under age" The
officer arrived too late, however, as the
pair had left for this city. Upon ar
irving here they went to the residence
of Mr.. Geo. W. Robinson, 1907 Duke
street, friend of the couple, where
they remained until this morning. At
that time the young man went to the
station house in quest Of information
concerning q marriage license. The
police having been apprised of the
affair, detained the young man, who
urged that the opposition was the work
of Methodist minister and not. that of
the mother of the young lady. The
mother was telegraphed, and pending
an answer the young lady (who is of
modest and retiring nature) was taken
to the station house to await her moth
er's arrival.
This evening Mrs. Reeves reached
this city from Prince William and pro.
coded to the station house where she
saw her daughter. She said she was on
her way to Maryland where she will
i've in the future, but will let her
daughter remain here for the present
with relative. The money which
Theo. Reeves had in his possession was
taken from him and turned over to the
girls mother, who said Theodore had
abducted her daughter. Theodore was
then released and given half an hour
to leave the city.
