Case Continued.

The case of John Entwisle, charged
with the unlawful sale of cocaine, wal
called in the Police Court this morning
Officer Knight stated that on Saturday
last he had reason to believe that young
woman named Tessie Criss bad rur-
chased cocaine at the store conducted 10y
the accused, and that upon interrogating
her she acknowledged that she had pro.
cured a supply st Entwisls's store. The
woman was placed on the stand and she
corroborated the officers statement, al
though she said she did not purchase the
cocaine from Entwisle, but at his store.
She also testified that she had bought il
there on other occasions. Boxes of the
preparation were produced in court.
They were of wood, about the size Of pill
boxes and contained about thimblefull.
They are disposed of at one dollar box,
and it is said one will last the consumer
about two days. The accused asked
that the case be continued until he could
procure counsel, and it was set for Friday
morning next

Site for New Station.

The site Of the Washington, Alexan.
dria and Mt. Vernon Railway Company
station in Washington has been de-
cided upon, and it is said the
lease has already been signed by the
railroad company and the property
owner. The station will be located
at the point of the triangle at Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue North.
west. The building is owned by A. LIE
Preux and is occupied by wine and
liquor establishment. Contracts have
been let for the curves of the tracks, and
work upon the removal of the station
and tracks from the present location to
the ID and Twelfth streets route will be-
gin as quickly as possible. 1t is believed
the new station can be occupied late in
the fall. The Alexandria and Washing
ton Commuters Protective Association
has requested the District Commissioners
permission to examine and submit sug-
gestions on the plans for the new station
before the Commissioners finally ap-
prove such plans. Acting Engineer
Commissioner Harding has recommended
to the Board of Commissioners that the
writer be informed that the Commits
sioners will look after the convenience
aud comfort of the public, but that the
association may submit at once any sug
gestionA which it may see fit to offer
concerning the construction of the
station.

John Robinson's Colossal Show

John Robinson's show arrived this
morning, and it gave the city holt
day aspect The streets were hronged
with people, both young and old,
including many from the surround
ing country. The pageant was elabor-
ate and embraced all advertised features.
There was Performance this afternoon
and there will be another tonight. The
show employs 6l2 people. The show
carries its own private restaurant on the
ground, and another in the regular train
club car. 1t also carries its own
blacksmith shop, with FIVE smithies
There are II members ofthe EIks with
the show, besides Mas ms, X. P.'s,
Woodmen, Odd Fellows, Eagles, ETC.,
but the b. p. o. E. predominates. One
hundred and ten women are in the show,
including So ballet girls, necessary for
the King Solomon spectacle. Several
acres of space are required for the en-
tire tented city. 1t has the only ~
center pole menagerie in the world. Ii
has $50 horses of all shades and colors.
Five detectives accompany the Robinson
show, and they know every crook and
thief of reputation in America, conse-
quenlly these questionable gentry give
the show grounds wide berth, as they
are locked up on sight. The circus was
late in entering the city, the train bear
ing it having been held up in the Jersey
yard in Washington. About ten O'Clock
the train reached st. Asaph Junction
and was placed on the Portner switch,
from which points, disembarked and
proceeded to the old fair grounds on
upper King street. King street was
crowded with people anxious to view the
parade, feature which unfortunately
had in the main TO be omitted from the
fact that the railroad company failed to
place the train in this city on time. The
portion of the retinue which did appear,
however, was interesting.

Indiana Democrats.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. S.-When
the great throng of democrats of Indiana
here for the democratic convention, en-.
tered Tomlinson Hall, this morning, al
III o'clock, they found the hall filled
with pictures Of old democratic leaders,
including Bryan, Parker, Hill, Taggart,
Jefferson. But one was missing. Grover
Cleveland's picture was not there. Talk
on every tongue was "well whateverTag-
CART wants we'll do. We want to win
this year, and ifTaggart wants Kern, it's
all right OF whatever he wants is all right.
He'sgoing to lead and we'll follow" 1t is
settled that any ticket that Taggert f.
nally settles upon will be put through.
head it. There is more enthusiasm than
has been known in years at democratic
convention. John B. Stoll, the veteran
editor of South Bend, announced just
before the convention met that Edward
Fogarty withdrew from the race for Gov
ernor. leaving a clear field to Kern, who
will be named by reclamation.

Shoemaker Tricked ,

On Monday evening colored man went
to the cobbler's shop of Edmund Frye,
4lO south Royal street, and requested
him to half-sole and heel pair of shoes.
Frye proceeded to do the work at once, and
the customer in the meantime went to a
neighboring saloon and purchased a
drink. He returned to the cobbler' s
shop where he remained until the
repairs to the shoes were made.
When they were turned over 70
him he ran out of the shop with
out paying the cobbler and in few
seconds had disappeared in the Wilkes
street tunnel. Frye gave an alarm and
numbers of people started in the di.
rection the strange darkey ran, but he
was not cvertaken.

Electric Lighting.

Some persons ia opposing the sale OF
the electric franch Sc, say such sale
would interfere with gas sales, and 10
that way reduce the revenues OF the city.
This contention has been exploded by
figures showing that electricity has not
diminished the receipts from gas where
both we're used. Many persons have
wondered just where the gentleman who
made the highest bid was to get fair re-
turn for biz money. Furnishing Del Ray,
st. Elmo, Braddock Heights, &C., may
have entered into his calculations, but
this does not concern Alexandria. as her
people are not expected TO furnish light
or fire department for their neighbors.
Some years ago many petitions were pre-
sented in Council from merchants and
Others asking to be allowed to use cleo
trio lights for decorations ard ornamen-
tai purposes. All such requests were
granted. subsequently an ordinance
was passed allowing the W., A. Il MI.
V. Ry. Co. TO furnish electricity for
lights and fans, twenty per cent. to DC
paid to the city in the way of tax for
this privilege. Reports are required to
be made tn the Mayor quarterly. Mayor
Simpson received the report for the last
quarter yesterday and it is interesting IN
showing the small amount of electric
lighting, for the report is April, $l3.46;
May, $lS.45; June, $23; total, $49.9O.
of which the city receives one-fifth, or
5000. So it appears that there is not
a fortune in electric lighting in Alexan-
dria-at least not at this time.

An Old Landmark.

Mr. John A. Travers. who resides in
the family residence on the east side of
Henry street, between Wilkes and Glib
bon, called the attention of the reporter
yesterday morning to pear tree on the
premises which is over one hundred
years old. The tree was fruitful this
year, it being full of luscious pears of the
old-time bell variety. They are now
reaching maturity and are of fine
flavor. The tree is situated in the east
crn portion Of the premises and it has
not onlv wealhered the storms of many
years, but on one occasion barely es-
capped destruction by fire. In the year
1910 storehouse facing on Patrick
street stood near the old pear tree. A
fire that year destroyed thestructure and
considerably damaged the northern side
of the tree. Although the tree has born
the scars of the fire for sixty-four years,
the bark on the other side has remained
intact.
