A. F. and A. M-Annual Election Last
 Night.

A. F. and A. M.-Annual Election Last Night.
 The election of officers for the ensu- ing year of the famous old lodge Old Hiram occurred last evening with the , following result: Addison r. Hunie, worshipfuI master; w. H. Hull, S. w.; Dr. B. s. Adams. J. W;..H II Peck, treasurer; George E. Frsbie, secretary; Major Charles F. McCabe, marshal; Lyme Harrison, M. Wiser, Julius Twiss, trustee. The appointive officers will be announced the first Thursday evening in January next when the installation services will take place and the annual banquet partaken of.
 The matter of holding a public enter tainment came up for discussion and by unanimous vote 1t was decided to give a f1rst-class entertainment be- tween now and February 6, 1902. Among those who highly favored the plan were Lawyer c. S. Hamilton and Julius Twiss, treasurer of the National Saw ings bank. and Worthy Master Hopson, and they were most enthusiastic in their remarks, referring to the extreme ly popular entertainments given by this lodge in former years, which were at tended by our leading citizens who greatly enjoyed the occasions. Many have recently expressed their wishes that "Old Hiram" would resume their wonted activity in this matter as of former years.
 The following committee were ap- pointed to make all necessary arrange ments for an evenings diversion that will do credit to the lodge and be a pleasure to the public who are fottun- ate enough to be present, ". A. Beers chairman; II. J. Alderman, Julius Twss William J. Veitch, ]. M. Lee, J. w. Wright.
 This committee will meet in Beers photo studio Monday evening, Decem- Der 30 and decide on the kind of enter tainment to be given, which will prob ably be held in the armory directly un- der the lodge rooms in Masonic Temple. During the evening the commodious lodge premises will be open for the pleasure and accommodation of those who attend. Probably the programme will consist of an address by promin- ent and popular speaker; vocal and instrumental concert by leading talent, the whole to conclude with a ball or promenade concert. This variety is proposed that all the guests will be served according to their various tastes. A nice lunch will probably be served during the evening.

DEATH OF DR.. MARY BARToN.-The
critical illness OF Miss Mary Barton,
which had been referred to In the Ga
zette, eliminated 10 the death of that
lady at her home, on north Royal street,
last night. Several weeks ago the de
ceased was taken sick and it was found
she was suffering from pleurisy. The
disease did not yield readily to treat
ment, and it became necessary to per-
form an operation for the purpose OF
removing the pus which had accumu-
lated. Her condition then seemed to
improve almost Immediately and there
was every evidence her convslescence
would soon follow. To the dissppoint-
ment, however, OF those 10 attendance
she suffered relapse which caused the
gravest apprehension. From that time
until her death the fluctuations in her
condition gave no hope of recovery.
She continued to sink until last night
when the end came. The immediate
cause of death is supposed to have
been the rupture of a cerebral blood
vessel. The deceased was a daughter
of the late Benjamin Barton. She was
educated for the medical profession, and
for years followed that calling here
and elsew here. She was q communi-
cant of the Second Presbyterian
Church,

DECISION REVERSED The Court OF
Appeals OF the District of Columbia
rendered an opinion yesterday 10 the
case OF the District Commissioners
against the Washington, Alexandra
aud Mount Vernon Railway Company
reversing the decree OF the lower court,
with costs. and demanding the cause
with directions to vacate o certain re-
straining order and grant such further
proceedings az may seem proper. In
August OF last year the railway CON-
pany filed bill to epjoin the Commits
sioners from executing an official order
for the removal by the railway company
OF an electric switch and other para
phernalia at the intersection OF Four.
teenth street and Maryland avenue
southwest, Washington. An injunc-
ton was obtained against the execution
OF the order. In April last the court
overruled a motion on the part of the
defendant to discharge the restraining
order and ordered the same continued.
The defendant took an appeal. The
Cont OF Appeals holds that there was
error below In refusing to dissolve the
restraining order and in continuing the
same in force pendente lite, and for this
reason the decree will be reversed.

jim Crow Cause.-The Gszstte
struck the public pulse yesterday in its
suggestions as to Jim Crow cars for the
electric trains between this city and
Washington. Some think a provision
compelling their use should be made a
part of the new constitution, or at least,
40 issue next fall when Delegate to
the Legislature is to be elected. Last
night the late trains were monopolized
by negro picnickers who had spent the
day at Arlington and white passengers
experienced much relief when the cars
reached Alexandria. 1t is said by some
Alexandra lawyers that under an act
of the Legislature OF 1S99-1900 the com.
pany operating the road could be com.
pelled to use separate cars for the two
rsces. claiming that while the word
''steam" Ia used in the first paragraph
the act makes the Jim Grow Car law
obligatory ON all railroad companies,
and that the provisions of the act are
go worded and should be SO understood

TIE FERRY COMPANY.-W While moth.
ing positive has been given out concern
ing The future plans OF those operating
or who are to operate the ferry between
this city ADD Washington, it is generally
understood that Capt. E. 8. Randall
will at an early date assume charge
OF the line in connection with his
lower river and excursion boats.
Ii is reported that the new manage
ment will be importuDed to place
another double-ender on the route and
run boats later in the evening. There
has been complaint for years of the lack
Of low fares and easy communication
between the two cities, aud IL has been
demonstrated that both can be brought
about by the operation OF ferry line
which would meet all requirements.
The fare by boat has always been rea-
soDably low, and those who buy COM
mutation tickets pay bat a fraction
more for transportation between the
two cities than is paid on street CARS 10
Washington. The price could doubt.
less be placed at the same rate II proper
efforts were made and the number OF
passengers increased. Besides arrange
ments could be perfected with the
Washington street Car lines 30 that
transportation to any point In that city
could be obtained at very reasonable
rate. 1t has been suggested-and the
idea is practical that the boats could
have two landings ia Westinghouse
at the foot of Seventh street for the
benefit of residents of this city who
work a. the navy yard or anywhere in
that part of Washington, and another
farther up for the convenience OF others
who are employed at the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing and places in
that locality. 1t is not necessary for
tho boats to lie half an hour In each
city. They could remain at the wharves
fifteen minutes, which would give pas.
sengers all the time required. AS
stated above, Alexandrians have sighed
for cheap fares between here and the
capital city for long time, and we
seem to be at point in our history
when with little push this hope can
be realized, and the oit-repeated pre-
many people employed
10 Washington would live here under
such conditions could, at least, be
tested. BY the end of the summer the |
vista will be more presentable than
ever from the Washington ferry slip 10
this city. For three squares up King
street the white vitrifisd brick road
way will greet the eyes OF those who
have left the city OF asphalt, and there
will not be such descent from the
sublime to the ridiculous when people
aud here after having left the we'll
paved streets of the capital city.
