Dr. Hammett stated that | he was very much gratified to know that Tar | Stan had shown to the people of the District the deplorable condition of its alleys. The horrible state in which the alleys wore found | to be in had been fully known to hitn, eaid Dr. | Hammett, but he had been, as he was now, un- | able to alter matters, for the reason that he had little if any means at his command with which to work upon. The exiating atate of affairs was due, thonght the health officer, not to a lack ' of sanitary inspection so muchas toa lack of | funds on the part of the Commissioners with which to improve the alleys by the introduc- | tion of sewers and pavements.

An unhappy mar- riage was the cause of the affair. It seems that Me¥heen, who is addicted to the use of liquor, a few years ago married Harding’s sister, but owing to the excessive use of alcohol and the consequentlal noglect attending the habit she found it necessary to leave him and take up her residence with her mother, Mrs, Harding.

As predicted in Tur Stam yesterday the citizens’ executive committee indorsed the action of Chairman Edson in deciding that the terms of the circular must be adhered to and that no free quarters will be assigned to posts not applying up to the Ist instant. This action will not prevent the posts who have not been assigned, to free quarters fiom attending the encampment if they wish to, as there are an abundance of places in this city which can be secured at a moderate price. ‘There has been received since the Ist instant applications for free quarters from posts ag- gregating about 1,500.

Today Chairman Edson issued a statement which is of interest to the Grand Army men throughout the country. Mr. Edson says that the Washington executive committee arranged early in the summer to provide free quarters for 50,000, a total ranging from two to five times in excess of the number provided with similar accommodations in other cities at previous encampments. Believing that the extraordinary limit thus fixed would be entirely ample, but anxious to quarter all who applied, the committee in the early part of Inst month notified every Grand Army post in the United this city by a committee of Michigan ladies resident here, who have secured Elks’ Hall, Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street. A lunch will be provided and served each day between the hours of 9a.m.and5p.m. Each lady will be presented with a handsome souvenir badge to take home ssa memento of the occasion.

Mor- States to communicate with the committee by September 1 if it desired free accommodations Tp to date free quarters have been provided for 55,000 comrades of the G. A. R., but even at this late day, in disregard of the injunctions of the circular, dilatory posts are making applica ions, ‘The barracks which have been erected are of | wood, commodious and comfortable, but the committee find that it will be absolutely impos- sible to erect aditional quarters in time for the encampment. This decision has been reached | with regret that the posts did not make known | their desires before waiting until too late for the | committee to provide free accommodations. There are ample accommodations in hotels, boarding houses and private residences in the city for as many additional posts or individuals ss may apply, which can be obtained at reason- able rates by application to Col. L. P, Wright, chairman subeommittee on accommodations. Quarters are being assigned in the barracks, which in itself is a great undertaking, requiring the greatest care to prevent confusion. Each of the buildings are numbered and then a num- ber is given to each bunk. When it is consi ered that there are 25,000 bunks it will be per- ceived that it is no easy teak, Mr. Peck, the secretary, is gradually working out the problem. CORPS COMMANDERS COMING.

TRE MOUNT VERNON RAILROAD. The Mount Vernon Electric Railway Com: pany cannot use lightning in constructing the road, but is using every expedient to carry the work on as fast as possible in the face of difti- culties, Part of the country road over which it is necessary to haul the heavy boilers, &c.. for the power honse are laid ont in a marshy | | region, and no similar loads have ever passed over them before. ‘The road crust gives | | way under the weight and the transportation |is extremely difficult. It is expected, how- | ever, that the boilers will reach the | power house today in time to be put in early | | next week. The Alexandria city track needs | only the trolley wires to be ready for the cars, | and these wires will soon be in place. The road | gangs are busy, but find some of the road line between the creek and Mount Vernon almost a8 hard to deal with as rock. The work, however, goes on. Exactly when it will be completed cannot be determined, but it is feared that ons month will close before the cars can be run to Mount Vernon. A FRATERNAL GATKERING.
