GOVERNOR AND FAMILY.
Attend St. Anne's Church-First Sun
day in AnnspoIis-The Rector
Preached.

Promptly at II a. m. the Governor
Of Maryland and Mrs. Goldsborcugh
left the Government House yesterday
to attend service in st. Anne's S
Church. Their party consisted of the
whole household, including the Cover
nor's parents, Pay Director Goldsbor-
ough, U. S. NJ, retired, and Mrs.
Goldsborough, also Mrs. Showell, the
mother Of the Governors wife.
There is traditionally a Governor's S
pew in St. Anne's Church, but in
the intervals when the family from
the Government House attend = ser
vice elsewhere, these seats are as
signed to other persons. This has
been the case for the past twelve
years, since Governor Lowndes' time,
and was so for an interval prior to
that. Where to place Governor
Goldsborough and his household
was arranged through the generosity
Of the Senior Warden, Mr.. F. A.
Munroe, who relinquished his claim
to five seats in long pew and re-
quested Mrs. and Miss Revell and
Miss Robb to permit him to assign
them to sittings elsewhere in the
hurch.
1t is very difficult to secure more
than two seats together in a desirable
part Of St. Anne's Church now, as
persons who are out of town subscribe
to retain their favorite places.
Strangers are always shown to these
vacant seats by the ushers, but it is
not possible to assign them for any
length of time.
The morning service yesterday was
very largely attended, between seven
and eight hundred persons being
present. The music was not interfer-
red with by the accident of last week
to the organ. A cabinet organ and
piano-forte were used to support the
choir. The anthem was taken from
the Gospel for the day, There was a
marriage in Cana Of Glee." The COM
position is by Sir John Stainer. The
TIE Deum was Smart's, in F.
The service of Morning Prayer was
read by the Lay Reader, licensed by
the Bishop for duty in St. Anne's
Church. The other portions of the
service were taken by the Rector, who
also preached. The text of the SER
mon was taken from the Gospel for
the Second Sunday after Epiphany,
"Jesus was called, and His disciples,
to the marriage" St. John, ii:2.
The subject of the sermon was Mar
riage a Holy Union, through Jesus
Christ holy and blessed" -.

COURT TERM BEGINS
Anne Arundel Court Starts Regular
January Session With Inter
esting Docket.
REGISTRATION CASES UP.
Suit OF Johnson and Morgan Against
Registers and Former Sheriff
Heard.

With a we'll filled docket. contain
ing several more than usually import
ant and interesting cases TO be dis
posed of, the Circuit Court for Anne
Arundel county convened the regular
January term here today with Judge
James r. Brashears on the bench.
The Court will take up, but probably
grant a continuance until the July
jury term, the cases of Philip a. Nor
gan and Holmes r. johnson, against
Frank Revell, former sheriff of the
county, and Herman F. Rossman and
Robert R. Cook, the two registration
officers for the Curtis Bay precinct
of the Fifth district.
This is the case in which Morgan
and Johnson are suing Revell, RoJs-
man and Cook for s25, 900 each be-
cause of their being arrested while at
tending the registration office at Cur
tbs Bay last October. Both men we're
taken into custody on commitments
issued by the registration officers who
charged them with obstructing the
work of registration lin releasing
them from custody ion habeas corpus
proceedings, Judge Brashers, day or
two later, severely scored their arrest.
The cses of the six election officials
in the first precinct of the Third dis
trict, who were indicted by the grand
jury last week for unlawfully leaving
their polling house on the night of
the last general election. will also
probably be continued
Besides these, in which much inter
est centers, there are two murder
cases to be disposed of. These. which
will probably not come up for disposi-
tion until late in the term, are against
Albert Tyler, accused of killing his
wife and son-in-law, and Harris, the
negro who last week shot and killed
his wife.
"Finis" was written in the Court
this morning to the lynching of King
Johnson, when Charles Chase. the
negro witness of his killing of
Schwab, and who was in the next
cell to him when he was taken fro m
the Brooklyn lookup by a mob on the
night before Christmas, was released
from the custody of the Sheriff.

THE ICE CONDITIONS.
Boats Frozen in the HarbOr-The
Susquehanna Ice BOund-Skating
on the Severn-7 Below Zero.

yesterday morning lt was Z degrees
below zero at Eastport, and 2 and s
below in some parts of town. In the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant
there was never such cold weather in
Annapolis.
Everything is icebound. During
Friday and Saturdy nights ice formed
in the Bay l-2 inches thick. Yester-
day and today the steamer Susoue-
hanna, of the colchester COMPANY.
IS tied up to the wharf at the foot of
Frlnce George street frozen in the ice.
A tug this morning that was bound
for the harbor, but was frozen fast in
the Severn, presented a beautiful
sight, all covered with ice and n
fringe of icicles above the cabin and
round the side. The tug presented a
spectacular sight.
Yesterday afternoon and n good
part of the day naval officers attached
to duty at the Naval Academy. and
their wives, were skating on the Sew
ern river as far as the battleship
Olympia
1t was so cold at Eastport Satur-
day and yesterday that many of the
chickens were frozen t. death. One
housewife on Severn avenue went out
to feed her chickens yesterday morn
ing and found four of her hens frozen
to death.
Barn yard fowls have been found
frozen in all parts of the county dur
ing the cold weather the past week.

THEATRE HEATING PLANT.
Improvement Made Yesterday in Heat
ing Apparatus at the Boyer
Theatre.

Yesterday all day workmen were en-
gagged at the Boyer formerly the Colo
niaD Theatre putting in additional
steam pipes and making repairs to the
heating plant. which has proved made
quate during this severe weather, as
most heating plants have throughout
the town. Several new radiators were
installed. and new CRATES in the boilers,
new steam pipes and additional and
improved parts to the Boyer Theatre.
Manager Lee desires to make the thea
tire comfortable throughout and it is
promised to use every means to do
this.
The theatre was chilly Saturday
night, so was every other place in
town. 1t is difficult 10 heat ones own
home when the mercury registers zero
and degrees below as it did Saturday,
and that in a riverside town, with ali
its moisture. The manager promises
comfort for all who attend the show to-
night in the Boyer Theatre.

PROVED REAL TARTARS.
Middies Were Given a Bump BY the
BROOKLYN St. JOhnnies But Nose
Out Victory by -Four Points.

Showing that they knew pretty near
as much about the finer points of the
game as did their classy opponents.
who have something of an inter-col-
legiate reputation. the basketball
team from St. Johns College, of
Brooklyn, N. Y. gave the middies a
scare in the first game between the
TWO institutions. which was plaved
at the Academy on Saturday.
Play was fast and furious from
start to finish and il was not until
the last two minutes of the final
period that the midshipmen hit their
winning streak. Although the first
half ended with the score standing
10 to II, favoring Navy, it was too
close for comfort, as far as the mid
dies were concerned, for they soon
awoke to the realization that they had
a tough proposition on their hands.
At the opening of the second half
the middies got in some good work
and mnaged to net three baskets from
the field in rather quick order. This
put them at a margin of eight points
to the good. But the New Workers

team work they overcame this advant-
age, muck to the surprise of the sailor
lads.
With but scant two minutes of play
remaining defeat looked almost appar-
ent to the middies. for the score at
that stage stood st. Johns, %; Navy.
&c, for the visitors had "come back
strong. But the "tars'' were equal
to the occasion and by rafting good
spurt managed to chalk up six more
points and at the same time prevent
their opponents from scoring again.
Wenzell, the Navy captain, and Nc
Reavy, played brilliantly to bring
about the victory, each netting a field
goal. while Wenzell threw two goals
from the foul line. thus netting the six
points that put the game on ice.
Wenzell, McReavy and Smith did
great work for Navy, while Moloy,
keenan, and Crenny starred for st.
Johns. The lineup:
