There have been few dee} | borings here. The latest is that at Portne: brewery, where an artesian well was sunk a few | years ago. The first boring, and the only pub- lic one, ever made in this city was that under- taken by the corporation of Alexandria in the | | market square during the years 1825-26. Ar- tenian wells were then a new enterpriee in| this country and in some cases they had Fielded water sufficient to supply towns. It was determined as a public enterprise, for | Alexandria has always been an enterprising | city, to seek for a supply of potable water in this way, all the more because the water of all the pumps in the middle portions of the town had become hard and brackish. The boring was made at the exact center of the market square, and several hundred feet had been dug when | the contractor's bill reached $2,096.36. Then | a strong opposition arose. for no water nad yet risen to the surface. The wark. however, went on, the contractor promising that a little | more boring would bring the water: $327.85 more was expended. ‘Then the authorities be- came discouraged and gave up the enterprise. | | The boring was closed over and covered in and, | it ix supposed. is still underground at the market. Mr. Walter Roberts had a five-inch | | artesian weil bored near the chapel at West End | some years ago. At 143 feet from the surface excellent water was procured. THE CITY AND THE OLD COURT HOUSE PROP- ERrY. ‘The relations of the city of Alexandria to the court house lot on Columbus street have never been clearly defined. The land was purchased and the court house erected by the United States while Alexandria was still « portion of the District of Columbia. The title to the | roperty is now in the governor of | Virgimia's under the act of retroces-| sion, which provides that the property shall be held for the city and county of Alexandria, Of Inte years the property has cost the city nothing for repairs. Atthe last meeting of council an order was made for laying a six-foot brick sidewalk in accordance with the law on the subject on the north side of the court house lot, and it is presumed that the cost of this work will be paid by the Alexandria county authorities. AN ALEXANDRIA CANDIDATE. Capt. Mushbach of this city has not hereto- fore been an applicant for the place of collector of internal revenue of this district, although he has been pressed for that place by a large num- ber of friends. On yesterday he filed his appli- cation for the position. Capt. Mushbach 4erved in both houses of the general assembly of the state and is now senator from Alexandria, Fairfax and Prince William counties. KNOCKED SENSELESS. About 11 o'clock this morning Cave Croson, lad about twelve years old residing at West End, was struck by the Midland train on Henry street and knocked senseless. He wascared for by Mrs. and Miss Sacres at 119 South Henry street, and later went to his home. NOTES. ‘Mr. Robert Portner has donated $100 to the men’s ward of the Alexandria Infirmary and Mr. Geo.

The young players put up » credit- able game and apperently had the result in doubt, but when the professionals wanted they settled down to work and came out ahead. It was the same old finish the Bostons used to make—victory snatched out of apparent defeat.

P. Church, situated at the corner of $24 and 35th streets, are circulating a petition, to be for- | warded to the committee on finances and board | of the M. P. Church of Maryland, which will convene at Laurel, Del., some time in April, requesting that the assessments levied at the last meeting of that body be reduced in propor- tion to their ability to pay. The petition recites that Mt. Tabor is a young chureb, with a heavy debt, and the parishioners are anxious to pay this off, 60 a8 to be ona solid foundation. | For the past two years the church has been | unable to meet its regular assessment, and con- sequently is now in arrears. The pastor, Rev. W. Sherman Phillips, is exonerated from ali blame in connection’ with this deficit, and his enrnestuess, zeal and diligence as the head of the church are highly commended in the peti- tion. The parishioners frankly, honestly and sincerely admit their inability to meet these ob- ligations and at the same time pay the church debt. All the membere of the parish are expected to sign their names, and it is thought that the assessments will be proportionally reduced until the church is entirely free of debt, when they will be only too glad to meet their full share of assessments, FIGHT FOR THE POSTMASTERSHIP. There is a fight for the post office. This office is a station of the Washington office and is presided over by a superintendent. At | resent Mrs. Blackford holds the position and administered the oftice for a considerable number of years. There was a fight several | Yeurs ago for the position, but the gentleman | whose friends were urging on the contest did not appear to be very anxious for the place. ‘This time the applicant is Sylvester F. Smith of M street. He and his friends are masking @ vigorous campaign and declare that they mean towin. They count upon Congressman Comp- ton of the fifth Maryland district to help them through. Mr. Smith was at one time post- tion in a few days. THE COLLECTORSHIP, The collectorship of the port and district of Georgetown affords a fruitful topic of conver- sation. Mr. William A. Hutchins is spoken of im connection with the office and it is und stood that a number of hi ndherents are trying to persuade him to make the fight. The office of collector of the port is worth 3,000 per year, with patronage. Most of the leading merchants of the District import directly. THROWN FROM HIS HoRsE. Mr. John C. Miles of Virginia was thrown from his horse near Grent Falls yesterday after- noon and seriously injured. Mr. Miles is a distinguished equestrian. but at the moment of accident was bowling along with both feet dangling out of the stirrups. His horse shied and the rider landed on his left shoulder, in- flicting painful injury. THE FIRST TRAP NET. ‘The first trap net of the season was put down ‘Swayne, who had applied to Manager O'Rourke for @ trial. was put in center field, Tom Kins- low played in right and Charley Snyder on first. ‘The other positions were filled by members of the team. Over 500 saw the gai surpris- ingly large number, more than have seen the games in the south in several instances. Maul pitched for the professionals at the new dis- tance, 60}¢ teet, and the difference of five feet did not seem to increase the hitting any, for only six hits were made off him, while only’ fi were made off Carmody, the college pitche: The opinion was expressed by Sam Wise after the game that the increased distance from pitcher to the plate would not affect the batting much. Only seven innings were played, the professionals winning by 6 to 5. GENERAL DASE BALL NEWS. ‘The intercollegiate season opens today. Yale and the University of Pennsylvania meet at the latter's grounds. The Georgetown University nine will play th nine from Columbia College of New York this afternoon at Capitol Park. The Chattanooga Ball Club yesterday easily beat the Chicago league team: outbatting and outfielding the Chicagoans. The score 8-3 does not give an idea as to the brilliance of the con- test. Chicago tried three pitchers, McGill, McGinnis and Mauck. in the box. Chatt nooga’s sluggers batted ail freely, but McGill did better than his colleagues in holding down the base hit column. Dahlen for the visitors hit hard every time he came to the bat. Nevins, the Chattanooga twirler, fooled all_ the Chicago heavy batsmen excepting Dahlen almost at will. The score was: Chattanooga, 8; Chicago, 3. Errors—Chicago, 5; Chattanooga, 3. Hits— Chicago, 6; Chattanoos Atlanta ‘defeated Clevelnid yesterday 16 to 8 Pettiger, Cleveland's discarded pitcher, pitched for Atlanta, Augusta defeated Charles: ton 7 to 6. ‘There was no game between the Baltimore and the Savannah clubs yesterday at Savannah on account of cold weather. The Orioles wili remain two days longer. playing ames today and Friday. Manager Hanlon says the rea his team was defeated by Charieston was be- cause bis men had not all worked together be- fore and did not understand one another. Lowe and Charley Bennett signed with Bos- ton yesterday. ‘This leaves Nash, Duffy, Me- Carty and Staley out yet. Hamiiton, the Philadeiphia left fielder, said yesterday that he would never sign with his old club for the salary offered. The manage- ment has raised the first offer, he says, but must come up several hundred ‘yet before he will pay any attention to them. ‘The Philadeiphia club will open its spring season of practice games tomorrow, when they will cross bats with the Livingston club. Who the men are that will compose the local nine it és impossible to tell, as only eight men have thus far been signed, and of these four are pitchers. PLAYERS WHO HAVE SIGNED.

There are many owners of land in Harlem anxious to build, but as the lines for the exten- sion of streets have never been run they are at loss to know where to locate their houses. If one street, to run parallel with the Fox- hall road, was laid out by the city’s engineers the suburb would be both convenienced and benefited. Mr. P. Finley, one of the largely interested citizens, states that to his knowledge eight men | are but waiting for the lines to be shown there before immediately beginning building opera- ions, UNCLE BILL CROESAE. One of the most interesting mementoes along the Georgetown river front hangs in the office of J. E. Libbey. It isa photograph of Uncle Bill Croesae. all the old timers remem- ber Uncle Bill. He was a prominent character here when Georgetown was Georgetown. He boasted of an intimate acquaintance with the Washington family, and always referred to the father of his country as Marse George. Uncle Bill was a stevedore, and this meart something when Georgetown harbor and her docks were crowded with ships of all nations laden with the products of all parts. Sometimes a crowd of the older generation will stand around the faded photograph and swap stories, true and otherwise, about Uncle Bil. ‘THE ICE QUESTION. Mr. Reardon, superintendent of the National Capital Ice Company, stated to a reporter for Tux Star that there was no combine in ice. The prices would be the eame this year as last, ‘True there had been immense crops of ice, but it had cost just about as much to harvest a ton Inet winter as the winter before. There would be no Sunday delivery, because the meu wanted for rest. This NOTES.

The New York Sun's Bridgeport, Conn., dis- patch say The Rev. R. I. G. McNeill, the pastor of the | South Congregational Church in this city, who was so popular with the younger and progress- ive members of the congregation, and especially At with the ladies, will go to another charge. 8 large meeting of the congregation Wednesd: his resignation was accepted, and it is not e: pected that he will preach a farewell sermon. | ‘There were hundreds of women present. ‘Mr. McNeill had made himself popular with them by securing «rule that they should have the privilege of voting at church meetinzs. ‘The one thing they lacked tonight was a leader, for if they hud had among them one member who at a critical moment had raised her voice in opposition to motions made by the deacons. the vote to have accepted the resignation would rae been defeated probably by a rousing ma- jority. The meeting opened with prayer and United States Marshal Strong was selected as chair- man. Deacon Edward Sterling made a motion that the resignation be accepted. He said that Mr. McNeill had been their pastor fo: fifteen years and that there was such thing as a man He thought that the request of the pastor that hin resignation be epted should be heeded. Not » word was id about the dress suit or patent leather shoes Mr. MeNeill wore and which have figured in the resignation fuss. Deacon Bodine made a motion that one bal- lot be cast necepting the resolution. Attorney Curtis Thompson objected. ‘There was a pleased look on the faces of the | women. They anticipated the opportunity of voting. ‘Their hopes faded when Mr. Thompson with- drew his objection. ‘Thev looked about the church for one woman to raise her voice. No one volunteered and Deacon Sterling hastily prepared a ballot and Chairman Strong announced that the resigna- tion was accepted by a unanimous vote. After the meeting there was no end of talk about the matter. The real strength of the support of Pastor McNeill showed itself. He had devoted himself to the work of the church and there were tears in the eyes of many when they realized that his labors among them had finished. It was said that the dress suit that the pastor wore when he preached was kept in an ante room. Investigation showed that it had been The patcnt leather pumps that wore were part of a scheme of saving one soul. There was among the mem- bers of the church a shoe dealer in this city who had become a backslider. The preacher went to his store one day ari purchased a pair of patent leather shoes and said: If you will come to church next Sunday you will see that I wear them.” The shoe dealer attended church, Several times after that the pastor dropped into the |store and made a purchase, and the shoe merchant kept on attending services to see if Mr. McNeill kept his word to wear what be had bought. a PURIFYING NEW YORK'S WATER, The Removal of Nuisances From the Croton Water Shed Begun. The work of removing the nuisances in the Croton watershed in Westchester county, N. Y. was begun yesterday by Commissioner Dal; It became evident some time ago that it was absolutely necessary promptly to cleanse the watershed if the health of New York city were not to be endangered, and so the legislature at Albany passed a measure which gave the commissioner of public works of New York city full power to remove anything that pollutes the Croton water, and to arrange for a settlement of the damages afterward. The Croton water- shed is in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties. The inhabitants of these counties have long been using its streams aud ponds as sewers. Onor near their banks were built the outhouses, hen cops, piggeries and stables of those who live within the precincts of the watershed, and the sewers and drains kavebeen 80 constructed as to pour their contents into these streams and ponds. The village of Kensico was the first place visited. The examination revealed a bad condi- tion of affairs so far as the pollution of Croton water was concerned, but worse places wili be found before the examination of the watershed is completed. Several objectionable structures were removed vesterday, greatly to the sorrow | of the inhabitants. While they showed that they did not like what was being done, they offered no resistance. It is only a question of time when the village will be destroyed, for in its position it is almost impossible to prevent it from polluting the Croton water. It will event- ually become the property of New York city. ———__—+ e+. FAYERWEATHER MILLIONS. Litigation Over the Bequests to Colleges Becoming More Involved. Another phase of the litigation over the will of the late Daniel B. Fayerweather came up in the supreme court in New York yesterda} This time several of the colleges interested in the $5,000,000 left by the leather merchant have come forward, and an entirely different aspect is placed on the suit, which will be called for trini next week. ‘The suit was brought by the executors of Mrs, Lucy Fayerweather against the executors of Mr. Fayerweather to set aside an agreement by which the latter were to dis- tribute more than $3,000,000 among colleges and other educational institutions. Mrs. Fayerweather signed several releases when she consented to this agreement. but {att before her death she brought asuit against jer husband's executors to set aside this ment and to have these releases declared in- v Dartmouth, William, Hamilton and Amherst Colleges andthe Rochester University have now int answers to this suit, in which they deny the invalidity of the releases and claim that the gift of the residuary estate to the executors was a trust which should be en- forced for the benefit of the colleges.

From the New York Advertiser. Recent years have seen great improvements in photography, and it is daily becoming more and more indispensable in many fields of science, art and industry. The camera now | does work that was deemed impossible only a | generation ago, and docs it without exciting very much comment. People bave become so j accustomed to the wonders of instantaneous | photography that nothing now seems to sur- rise them. | When, in 1872, Mr. Muybridge of California | | secured the first pictures of a trotting horse in action, showing the position of the animal's | feet at every stage of his gait and upsetting all the preconceived theories of artists and horse- men, ordinary folks took some little interest in and wildly applauded the achievement. Yet | how few of them have kept track of the ad- | Yances made since then in this one matter of | | photographing moving opjects! It is not a} Tash assertion to say very few. ‘he latest contrivance for this purpose is a | photographic gun, which, it is claimed, will | Secure pictures at the rate of a dozen a second | | of any object aimed at, no matter what its po: | | sition or how rapid its ‘motion. The gun is the | |invention of a Frenchman and is # breech | | loader. | | The enterprising amateur may now go forth | in quest of his game looking like a sure-enough | | sportsman, a gun on his shoulder and a belt | | full of cartridges about his waist—oniy the cartridges will contain extra sensitive dry | plates, which, though sure enough on snap shois, will not prove deadly. ‘ ‘oman’s Rights.
