There is a jocose proposal in one of the Fredericksburg papers for the removal of the capital of Virginia from Richmond to Alexan- dria. The governor and general assembly couid go further and fare worse. Alexandria could furnish better water than is supplied in Hichmond and, what is perhaps of more im- portance, purer whisky. — Alexandria has already Leen for awhile capital of the state. During a portion of Gov. Pierpoint’s adminis tration the state Louse was on Royal street over the murket and the senate held sessions in the aldermen’s room, while the house of dele- gates met in the chamber of the common council. Mr. R.¥. P. Garnett, now at the district buiidings, made report of the proceed- ings, ashe still does on some occasions. ‘The legislature should come to Alexandria by all means. NoT TO BE REMOVED. The corporation court has for some time had a motion before it for the removal of Thomas Wilson, the colored member of the board of supervisors of Alexandria county, who repre- sents Washington district of the county on the board. It was alleged that Wilson had not dis- charged his duties, and a motion was entered under the code for his removal before the county court, which has power to remove for cause any county officer except the clerk. Judge Chichester, after a full hearing, has overruled the motion and dismissed the pro- ceeding. NOTES. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah B.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Cannot Mr. Alderson be induced to substi- tute for his pension bill an amended one, mak- ing the period of service twenty-five years in- stead of thirty, and also, as an offset to the reduced number of years, making the pension rate either one-half or two-thirds of the salary, instead of three-fourth, or it might be fixed at a stated sum, not to exceed $60 a month. While each clerk would receive less than un- der the present bill, yet more persons would receive the Lenetits thereof, ido not believe it would necessitate a iarger fund to draw from than does the bill as it now stands.

You will be provided for after that time by a Pengpu, assessed upon and collected from the salaries of those who have served less than thirty years?” 1s it justice to those who have been in the service but a short time and drawing small sal- aries, say $700 to $1,400, compared to the thirty years’ service clerks. say $1,400 to $1.800, to rediice or in apy manner compel the former toassist in the support of those who have “grown old in the service,” and say nine-tenths oi whom, while growing old, have accumulated and now hold large aud valuable properties? If the United ‘States government wishes to retire on “fli” or * pay” any of its em- ployes let it only select those who through some accident of life beyond their control have become needy and are deserving of aid. Fur- ther, let it be charitable from the generalfunds collected by the government, and then there will not be so much cause to protest. - In my opinion it would be more in accord- ance with justice and the interests of all con- cerned to reverse the present order of giving those positions the highest Fies to the younger and more able men whoare competent to perform the duties and give the government value ived, and let the men wio “have grown old in the service” and are not able Raleigh, N.

Sir Morrell Mackenzie, the distinguished English physician, whose serious illness with bronchitis was ennounced a few days ago, died yesterday. Sir Morrell Mackenzie was born in Leyton- stone, Exsex, in 1837, and was educated at the London Hospital Medical College and in Paris and Vienna. He founded the Hospital for Dis- eases of the Throat in Golden Square, London, in 1863. In the same year he obtained the Jacksonian prize from the Royal College of Surgeons for an essay on diseases of the larynx. He was soon afterward elected assistant physi- cian to the London Hospital, becoming in due course full physician, and was appomted lec- turer on diseases of the throat, un appointment he held to the time of his death. He was a corresponding member of the Imperial Koyal Society of Physicians of Vienna and of the Medical Society of Prague and an honorary fellow of the American Laryngological Associa- tion. Dr. Mackenzie was the author of numerous publications on laryngological subjects and in particular of a systematic treatise in two vol- umes or “Diseases of the Throat and Nose,” which is acknowledged to be a standard work, heving been translated into French and Ger- man and having a very large circulation in England and America. Dr. Mackenzie was also the author of monographs on diphtheria and hay fever and of an article on “Specialism in Medicine,” which appeared in the Fort- nightly Review in 188 and which excited con- siderable interest. Dr. Mackenzie was in at- tendance on Frederick lI, German emperor, during the latter's last iliness,and was knighted in 1837. He published in 1883 ‘The Fatal Ill- ness of Frederick the Noble. At the close of that year he resigned his connection with the College of Physicians. In 1889 he contributed to the Contemporary Review some essays en- titled “The Voice in Singing and Speaking. a oo THE ALLEGHENY DYNAMITERS, A Reward Offered for Their Arrest and Con- viction, Shortly after the explosion at Allegheny, Pa., yesterday the Allegheny police were notified and Detectives Zimmerman, Korman, Steele and Jobnston were sent to the spot to investi- gate. Superintendent Muth also went to the scene. When he returned he said nothing defi- nite had been learned with regard to the per- petrator of the crime. ‘The motorman of car 102 says that as the car was approaching the Stanton avenue crossing he noticed a laborer with a dinner bucket in his band standing on the track. As the car neared him the man crossed the street and ran up Brady street and disappeared. When the car reached that point the explosion oc- curred. The motorman thinks he recognized the man who ran up Brady strect as one of the strikers and believes it was he who put the dy- namite cartridge on the track. ‘The belief that it was one of the strikers, however, is not shared by the officials of the road. It is the general impression that it was some overzealous sytapathizer. Allalong the sympathy of the citizens of Manchester and Woods Itun has been with the strikers, but yesterday morning’s affair was not only regretted but condemned by theresidents. Expressions of censure were heard from all sources, and while the strikers may not have been instrumental in the matter yet it was con- sidered bad for their cause. ‘The strikers had just adjourned when the re- port was heard. ‘ihe assembly convened at midnight and it was 4:30 a.m. when an adjourn- ment was made. At the meeting relief money ‘was paid to the men. ‘The dircctors of the Manchester line will spare neither troubie nor expense to find the perpetrator of the outrage.

A Johnstown, Pa. special says: Nothing since the awful flood in the spring of 1889 has caused so much alarm as a series of mysterious murders that have been committed within a radius of twelve miles.

Marcellus Wilson, an acquaintance of Lane's, was next called. There were two charges against him. One was disorderly and the other Was vagrancy. He plead guilty to the former and not guilty to the latter. Wilson is badly crippled, both his legs having been cut off by a railroad train, and in his own defense be toid the judge that be was not @ Vagrant; that he was a tax payer and bad been one for seventeen years.

STOLEN BY INDIANS, Arizona Posses Trying to Kescue a» Flagstaff School Girl. Justice Gibson of Flagstaff, Ariz., received on Tuesday a letter from Wm. Munds, an old and respectable citizen of the Verde valley, say- ing that on Friday night, January 29, two In- dians, accompanied by a white girl apparently | about sixtecn years old, came to Strachari's cattle ranch at Rock Springs. At that time there was only a boy at the ranch, The girl told the boy that about two ‘weeks ago, whileshe was on her way home from her school in Flagstaff, the Indians kidnaped her. She gave the name of Alice Pack and begged the boy to take her away from her cap- tors. ‘The Indians were well armed and a close watch over both the girl and the boy. ‘The girl’s clothes were in shreds and she was exhausted. The Indians stayed all night at the ranch and left early tho next morning, tak- ing the girl with them.
