" Fst * ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Maryland-Virginia Railway In creases Capital Stock. f. WILL ELECTRIFY BRANCH New Cars on Bluemont Division, It Is Expected, Will Be Ban ning by Spring. Sjteoial Correspondence of The Star. AUEXANI>RIA, Va., February 29, 1912. In order to take over and electrify the Bluemont branch of the Southern Rail way Company, the Maryland-Virginia Company yesterday obtained from the state corporation commission an amendment to its charter allowing an increase of its capital stock from $1,OOJ, 000 to $30,000,000. The Bluemont branch, now said to be operated at a loss, will be run in conjunction with the electric lines of the Mary land-Virginia company in the suburbs of Washington. The Bluemont branch Is the transpor tation artery for the rich section of Vir ginia between Bluemont, Leesburg and Alexandria, and has about sikty miles of track. Not only is the commuting travel Into Washington over this branch heavy, but the amount of freight hauled is considerable. It is claimed that Wash ington is the logical shopping and farm market of the Leesburg section. As operated by the Southern Railway Company, passenger trains must make an entry into Washington by way of the Union station, with a toll of $30 a car, which is claimed to have caused the 'Southern company to have steadily lost money. In taking over this line the Maryland-Virginia Railway Company plans to obviate this toll by electrifying the line, entering Washington over the Aqueduct bridge and transferring its pas sengers direct to city cars. Price Paid Not Known. The price paid by the Maryland-Vir ginia for the Bluemont branch is not known. It is understood that the trans fer will become effective immediately. The Southern will continue to operate its trains during the time taken to electrify the line. In this way there will be no cessation of passenger traffic over the branch, and if the work progresses as the new company believes it will the new electric line will be ready for service by spring. The big heavy type of interur ban car will replace steam trains on the line. The Maryland-Virginia Railway Com pany is an electric company organized by northern capitalists, with headquar ters in this city. Its original charter provides for a capital stock of $1,000,?KM> and was granted in September last, prior to the merging of the Bluemont branch. The increase fee paid the state cor poration commission for the $29,000,000 of capital stock was $750, which, with the first fee of a similar amount, makes a. total of $1,500 paid by the concern to the state. Lieut. May Resigns. First Lieut. Carroll H. May of the Alexandria Light Infantry has tendered his resignation as lieutenant of that com pany, to become effective at once. The resignation lias been submitted to the adjutant general, and it is expected that he will act on it very shortly. Following the acceptance of his resignation the company thirty days hence will hold a meeting for the purpose of electing his successor. It is understood there will be several candidates for the position. It is .said that the reason for the resig- 1 nation is that Lieut. May will accept a staff appointment. Mrs. J. Levenshon, great Pocahontas, Richmond, last night installed the recent ly elected officers of the Degree of Po cahontas, an auxiliary of the Improved Order of Red Men. The officers are Mrs. W. S.

In the police court this morning the col ored men were released and Silas Demp sey of Orange, Va., who, the police be? lieve, may throw some light on the af fairs, was detained as a witness. The po lice say they think they have the name of the man who took Slmms' money. Police Court Cases.

LARGER SUPPLY OF EGGS; PRICES BATTERED DOWN Wholesale Quotations 26 and 27 Cents a Dozen?Fur ther Reduction Expected. Milder weather and the opening of low er Potomac and bay navigation have re-, suited in a great increase in the supply of eggs coming to Washington, and as a result egg prices have taken a consid erable downward turn. With stocks rap idly Increasing, wholesale prices today were 26a27 cents, retail prices for strictly fresh running to 38 cents per dozen. Some dealers who handle only fancy eggs asked 40 to 42 cents this morning. On the country line at the Center mar ket fresh eggs retailed at from 30 to 33 cents per dozen, with the supply more plentiful than At any time since before the cold weather that followed the Christ mas holidays. From Lower Potomac Points. Early this week hundreds of cases of eggs were received by boat from lower Potomac points. As the boats have been unable to run since a short time after Christmas, the accumulated supplies In the hands of farmers and country store merchants along the river have mounted up until, when tb? freight boats resumed their trips, they were scarcely able to handle the stock that awaited them. . "It Is more than likely that egg prices wil drop about a cent a day from now on until the price goes down to 20 cents, wholesale," said a Washington dealer to day. "It is not probable that there will be any more high prices for eggs, at least for some time." Prices Down in Baltimore. Similar conditions exist in Baltimore, where bay steamers, tied up for weeks, have for several days been bringing in eggs In suet} numbers as to hammer prices down rapidly. Prices of butter and other country produce have shared in the de clines. Farmers from Virginia and (Maryland points near Washington are expected to bring in large additional cargoes of eggs today and tomorrow, the result of which, it is expected, will be still further price reductions.

ROCKVULLE, Md., February 29. ? Charles Diggs, edlored, charged with the murder of Louise Dorsey, colored, a do mestic In the home of former Mayor John A. Garrett, at Glen Eteho, was arraigned in the police court here this morning be fore Justice Reading. Although he waived preliminary hearing, Diggs admitted on the stand that he had used a shotgun in firing at the Dorsey girl, but added that he intended only to wound her in the legs. Diggs declared the girl tried to dodge just as he pulled the trigger, and when she leaned over the entire load of shot pierced her abdomen. Justice Read ing ordered that the prisoner be commit ted to jail without bond to await the ac tion of the grand jury. Inquest Abandoned. State's Attorney Spates, who appeared at the healing, decided that an inquest over the body of Louise Dorsey would be unnecessary, and that part of the Inquiry into the murder, which had been planned for tomorrow, will be abandoned. Attor ney Alexander Kilgour was retained for Diggs* defense. Sheriff Howard of Montgomery county went to Washington this morning and conveyed the body of the % /man from the Georgetown University Hospital to Rockville. According to the evidence which the sheriff and his deputies gath ered' last night and this morning, it was stated, Diggs formerly was in the em ploy of Mr. Garrett at his home In Glen Echo, and as a result of trouble which he had with the Dorsey girl about a task of splitting wood, the girl's brother was called to split the wood and Diggs was discharged. Subsequently he was ar rested for making threats against the girl, and only two days ago he was re leased from prison. Alleged He Sought Revenge. Apparently he immediately sought re venge. It Is alleged the testimony the state Is prepared to submit Indicates that Diggs secreted himself in the yard at the rear of the Garrett home yesterday after noon, waited until the Dorsey girl ap peared, and fired the fatal charge at her at close range from a shotgun. Mrs. Garrett summoned Sheriff Howard and Deputy Sheriff Shaw by telephone, and on the way to Glen Echo in an auto mobile they encountered D>ggs and took him Into custody. The Dorses' girl was placed aboard a trolley car and hurried to Washington, police in the seventh precinct patrol meeting the car when it reached the terminal at 36th and Prospect avenue. At the Georgetown University Hospital It was found that the entire load of small shot had penetrated the girl's stomach and abdomen, perforating the intestines in scores of places, and there was no pos sibility of saving her life. She died at 6 o'clock last night.
