wood. jr., and Jolly Jones, jr., assisted by
Mr.. John A Ellinger, all of this city, the
visitors and residents of that section of
Loudoun in the vicinity of Glenhourne were
treated to q show of unusual merit. All

The pavilion was beautifully decorated
with greens and many-colored buntings,
and reproduction OF a miniature theater

bered nearly 800. After the regular per-
Torrance, which consisted of sketches,
songs Rotations and a number of living
pictures, the floor was cleared and those
so inclined tripped the light fantastic I'M

An episode not on the regular program
occurred near the finish, when a small dog
belonging to the home guard disputed the
choice position. When they got together
the home dog. being much smaller than
his antagonist, had to yield the point,
though not without struggle.

STRIKE OF LAEORERS
Employees of Local Railway Quit Work
-COmpanE's Statement.

-COnlpan= Statement.
Ten cleaners and repairers of the Metro
politan Railway Company quit work Thurs
day because their hours were increased
from nine to twelve. The cleaners and re-
pairers on the day force employed in the
company's barn at East Capitol and 18th
streets worked nine hours, while those on
the night force were obliged to work twelve
hours. This arrangement left the company
without a force OF men during three hours
of the day. and in order to have them on
duty continuously the new management
made the increase in the time of the day
men without increase of wages.
The mems action caused the company hut
little trouble, enough men were soon Sc
cured to have the work on which they were
engaged go on satisfactorily.
Officials OF the Washington Traction Com
pany. of which the Metropolitan is a part,
today said that there is no intention of
either Iengthcning the hours or reducing
the pay of employees of their system. on
the other hand. as the suburban lines are
equipped with an electrical system, there
will be both a reduction of hours and some
increase of pay to make the conditions of
employment Of motormen and conductors
conform to those under which the Metro
politan system is working. The standard
of hours for these employees is ten and a
half to eleven and their pay is So a Gay.
There is no indication of any further
strike on the part of any Of the employees
OF the system.

Lectures.

Lectures.
Notwithstanding the so-called campaign
of education in 1896, in which the subject
of money was quite fully discussed. COM
paratively few persons have a definite and
intelligent knowledge of that subject and
the rules which govern money in national
and international transactions.
In the course for the coming year in the
School of Comparative Jurisprudence and
Diplomacy at the Columbian University
the subject of finance will be treated by
Mr. Lyman j. Gage, Secretary of the
Treasury. in a special series of lectures,
and also by Prof. Joseph French johnson
of the Wharton School of Economy of Phil
adelphia, who is regarded as one of the
best informed men on this subject in this
country.
The subject will be treated broadly with
reference to international relations in COM
merce and banking. 1t will consider the
nature and functions of money and credits
and their international circulation; also the
subject of public finance, including the
sources of government revenue, bond is
sues. taxation, the disbursement of the rev.
enues and the organization of the Treas
ury Department.

SALES DECLARED VOID.
Errors in Advertisement of Delfn-
Quent Property.

The annual corrections in the sale Of
District property for unpaid taxes have
been completed, and today the District
Commissioners issued an order directing
that money be refunded to purchasers in
siXty-one cases. The sale in each of these
instances is declared null and void on ac-
count of the improper and imperfect de-
scriptions printed in the advertisements
announcing the tax sales. The number of
such errors vas larger this year than for
some time past, due to the fact that a
larger amount of property was disposed of.
The purchases which We're annulled in
clude tfty-four city lots and seven in the
county. These were all bought either by
Albert Marshall, G. A. Hitchcock or c. Fl.
Wiltsie. the latter being he heaviest buyer
of the land included in the Commissioners
order The law requires that when tax
sale shall be declared void. the money paid
in by the purchaser shall be refunded with
proper interest. he amount to be paid

woMAs ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Roxy Ann Long Found Not Guilty
by BrNan Jury.

Judge Fallgant returned yesterday from
Bryan county, where he presided Thurs
day al the trial Of a white woman who was
charged with the murder Of her husband.
Judge Seabrook, who now presides over
the Atlantic circuit was one of the counsel
for the woman previous TO his election as
judge and this disqualified him from pre-
siding at the trial The woman, who was
defended by Messrs. T. S. Morgan, Jr., and
w. r. Slater, of Savannah, was acquitted.
Roxy Ann Long is The woman's name,
and the killing took place at the home OF
the couple in Bryan county, oct ~ 1880
There was no other witness, and the only
evidence against the woman was her own
statement. She was arrested immediately
after the killing, but was released after
a nearing before magistrate The grand
jury met shortly after, and indicted the Wo-
man for murder Anticipating this acton
on the part of the grand jury she left Bry-
an, and came TO Savannah, and was supse-
quently arrested here by the detectives by
order of Chief McDermott- The woman
was seen at the barracks at the time by
Morning News reporter, to whom she taxi
ed about the killing. She admitted mat she
mad killed her husband, but claimed that
he had attacked her first She seemed very
Indifferent on the subject of the crime, and
appeared to be lacking in intelligence.
The case came up for a hearing before
Judge Faliigant, at the May term of Bry-
an court, when q plea of insanity a the
time of the killing was entered The wo-
man was found TO be insane and ordered
sent to the asylum where she remained
until two months ago. when she was re-
turned TO Bryan county by the authorities
of the asylum as cured This made her
trial on t@e charge of murder necessary.
The defense offered by her attorneys was
a duel one, that of insanity al the time
and that the act was in self-defense. The
evidence showed, however, that the wo-
man had done her bloody work in an eX-
ceedingly thorough manner. having given
her husband three deadly blows in the
head with an ak. The general sentiment
of the people of the community is said to
have been in the woman's favor
Although the hospital authorities report
ed The woman TO be sane, there is some
doubt on the part of those who attended
the trial that such is the case. The woman
sat unmoved and apparently entirely in
different to the proceedings throughout the
trial, and even when the jury returned a
verdict of not gully she displayed no in
terest or emotion whatever. Not until she
was congratulated by her attorneys did
she make the slightest manifestation of
interest.
There are still some features of the case
which interest the people of Bryan county
and which may cal for further invesuga-
ton
