DECORATION OF GRAVES —The decoretion of the mound in Christ church yard, in which are laid the remains of the confederate soldiers removed from the military cemeteries bere, 1s about to be pro- ceeded with this afternoon. The graves of conted- erates in the various church cemeteries on the edge of town have already been decorated, the Reltet Hook and Ladder company and other friends be- stowing handsome tributes upon the graves of Capt. James M. Stuart. ‘There are no formal exer- elses, each one places a tribute on the graves quietly, and except the crowd which stich an oc- casion ‘naturally gathers, nothing marks a de- Parture from the even tenor of the day. Fe DEPARTMENT.—Both of the steam fire en- gine companies have requested the call of a meet- ing of the Alexandria fre department. Under the law “the principal engineer, fire wardens and c manders of fire companies th any town shall con- stitute the fire department thereof.” No meeting of this department has been had for many years, and the engineer and wardens have made sucll regulations as were thought suitable for the de- partment. A QUESTION OF Law AND Facts—The question whether the business of taking advances and pay ing profits on deduction of losses on grain and pro- duce quotations is the business of a commission merchant has been determined by the mayor in the negative. He considers business of this character, where there are no goods on commissio business of a commercial broker and subject to tax of $100, under the provisions of the city tax D which says: “On every commercial broker, defined by the revenue laws of t tate, there sh De a tax of one hundred doll r of the state d a commercial broker to be “every person who negotiates the sale of uM he revenue Law | merchandise, without having possession or control | of It, as commission merchant.” There will be an appeal on the subject to the city council at its next meeting.
