American Association Last Night.

The German-American Choral Associa-
ton held a very successful New-Year's
entertainment at Zimmermann's Hotel
large is not to be wondered at, since the
programme arranged for the occasion
was particularly attractive.
The large reception-room on the second
floor of the hotel was tastefully deco
rated for the occasion with the American
and German colors. Banners tioated
from the ceiling and the walls were pro-
fuseIy drapped with bunting palms and
ferns and potted plants were effectively
displayed, and the tout ensemble might
almost be termed brilliant.
The performance opened with an adj
dress by Mr. Zimmerman, in which he
extended a cordial welcome to all present.
He congratulated the members of the
society on the success of their organiza-
ton. and on the great merit of their
work The efforts made by the officers,
and particularly by Director G. +. Nut
ter, he eulogized in frankest terms. and
expressed the belief that the association
would ere long be among the shining
stars Of the musical horizon.
, A Quartette of members Of the chorus,
composed of Mrs. c. +. Mutter, Miss
Annie Tremer, and Messrs. Charles Gas
ser and w. Herbig, sang with much
taste, PATRIOTIC ode entitled, Let the
Hills and Wales Resound." The full
chorus gave with admirable effect the
Hallelujah chorus, Mrs II. d. Knkwood
sang Beeker's "Springtime," and Mr. ).
L. Kelley recited several pieces. Others
who figured conspicuously on the pro-
gramme were sSiessrs. Burton. Moesta,
Bosher, Woodbridge. Mcneil Lundin, Sell
den. and Ledford. Mr.. Nathan Nelson
accompanied the musicians.
After the concert first part very de-
lightful supper was served, which, being
discussed, those present turned their at
tention to dancing, which was kept up
until the small hours of the morning.
The committee in charge of the arrange
rnents consisted of Miss Julia LESS, Mr.
C. w. Kraker, and Mr.. c. f. Mutter.

True Reformers Decide to Open One
nj Westham at Once.

The Board of Directors OF the Savings
Bank of the Grand Fountain. United Or
der Of True Reformers. met yesterday
and perfected, in a measure, the arrange
ments for the opening and operation of
the old Folks Home Farm. at Westham,
in Henrico.
Rev. w. l.. Taylor, W. u. Brown, X. I.
Hill. John II. Braxton, L. w. Brown, A.
w. Truehart, and X. +. Robinson were
appointed committee to draft proper
rules for the government Of the farm and
10 see TO its opening at once. The farm
embraces COO acres. and 1t is proposed TO
use about one hundred acres Of 1t for
the home. and TO cut the rest up in five
or ten acre tracts and sell them with a
view 10 realizing enough to permanently
endow the home and at the same time
10 establish colony around It.
The annual meeting of the directors was
held Wedne sday. Rev. Richard Wells
was elected TO fill the vacancy on the
board caused by the death of Rev.
Browne. The following Board Of Trustees
was elected: w. i. Taylor, r. +. Robin
son, and DIR. r. w. Browne.
The death Of Rev. w. w. Browne, re-
cently vacated the presidency Of the order.
Rev. w. L. Taylor, of Boutwell,, the vice.
president, is now at the head Of the or
ganizatlon, and will so remain until the
annual meeting in September, when a
president will be elected. Rev. Browne
held office under life tenure. subject to
removal for cause, but all the other officers
were elected annually. and it is thought
that the next president viii be elected for
a year only.

oApE sHACKELFoRD ENDORSED.
His Men Deny Any Movement Look
ing 10 His Resignation.

The statement made yesterday that
Private Smith, of Company c, First Regi-
ment, with four other soldiers Of the regi-
ment, would be summoned to appear be-
fore the general court-martial on Febru-
airy list, is denied by the officers in au-
thority.
Captain Shackelford said last night that
he had made no charges against any
member OF his company, and he had not
been notified, as a member Of the court,
that any charges are to be brought TO
the attention Of the court.
Much Indignation has been expressed
by the members of Captain Shackelford's
command at the rumor that a petition
was In circulation or would be circulated
requesting his resignation.
Sergeant Guthrie said last night that
the harmony existing in the company had
never been so perfect as at the present
time. with one or two exceptions only,
the men are all enthusiastic and staunch
supporters of Captain Shackelford's
policy. An inquiry at the ArmorY last
night elected the fact that no such petition
as the one indicated had ever been seen
in the company room. and TO a man the
sentiment was expressed that II Captain
Shackelford ever resigned his men
would promptly follow his example.
Captain. Woon said last night that the
court-martial had not yet been sum-
moned TO meet, and the date Of its next
meeting Is a conjecture.

Such n Lodge to De Formed by the
Braves-EIectioE of Officers.

The annual meeting Of the Powhatan
Club was held at the Wigwam, on north
Eighth street, last night, and despite the
inclement weather, there was a large at
tendance.
Two amendments to the constitution
were adopted-one creating the Office of
financial secretary, the other making a
slight change in the annual dues.
The chief business of the meeting was
TO elect officers for the ensuing year. Mr..
Jones. in a complimentary speech, nomi-
mated the present president, Jefferson
Wallace ESQ, for reelection. Mr.. wal
lace was elected by reclamation. The
following officers were then elected: Vice.
Presidents-Colonel A. s. Buford, Of Mon
roe Ward; Mr.. Evan Snead, or Gay
Ward Captain John A. Curtis. OF Mar
shall Ward Mr.. Robert t.. Briggs, OF
Madison Ward; Mr.. Gilbert X. Pollock,

spending Secretary, Mr.. Richard A.
Hughes; Treasurer, Mr.. s. Stern; Finan-
cial Secretary, Mr.. Clyde w. Saunders;
Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr.. ]. NJ. y. Allen
Mr. Driscoll succeeds Hon. Ben. Il.
Crump as vice-president for Jefferson
Ward CAfr. Crump having removed from
jefferson Ward, was not eligible Tor re-
election: Mr.. Stern succeeds. as trea-
surer, Mr.. Edgar II. Ferguson, who de-
clined reelection, and Mr.. Allen succeeds
Mr.. Hellstern.
After the election and installation OF
the officers. Mr.. Wallace. Mr.. Jones in
the chair, suggested that there be formed
within the club lodge to be called 1.-The
order OF Powhatan." Mr.. Wallace out
lined his idea at length. stating that he
thought ii would increase the interest in
the organization. The club heartily adopt
cd the suggestion. resolved to institute
the order, and elected the following Com
mttee on Ritual: jefferson Wallace, O
A. Hawkins, Frank V Baldwin. w. Mac
Jones. and John f.. DriscOll. The Ritual
Committee will meet at once and prepare
a ritual. and 1t is thought that a lodge
will be instituted and be ready TO work
I'm at least one degree at the February
meeting. The members of the club are
very enthusiastic over the new feature
which will be purely social, and will have
no political bearing whatever. Like the
Shriners, from labor they will invariably
proceed to refreshment, and believe that
the new order will equal the Mystic
Shrine and other social-degree orders in
popularity and interest.
