The extension of streets south toward Hunting creek continues to attract atten- | tion here, and at the services at St. Mary's Catholic Church yesterday a meeting of pew holders at the Lyceum Hall was an- nounced for next Wednesday evening to consider the project of extending Pitt street and its effect to the Catholic graveyard. This graveyard, established about 100 years ago on Washington and Church streets,was a donation’ from R. 'T. Hooe, made at a dinner at Col. Fitzgerald's house on St. Patrick's Day, 1788, and afterward con- firmed by deed. The ground was extended east shortly before the war as far as Pitt street, and since then Yeates garden has been purchased with a view of adding another square or more to the rear of the present burial ground, so as to extend it to Royal street and beyond. Al! this por- tion, Which it is proposed to use as @ graveyard, is south of the old District line, and, therefore, beyond the limits of the corporation of ‘Alexandria. Mr. M. S. Parker, who came here from Washington some years ago and opened a stationery store on King street between Washington and St. Asaph streets, died yesterday morning, after a long illness of consumption. Mr. Parker was at one time a clerk in the sixth auditor's office at the Post Office Department. He married Miss Mary Sitz of Washington, and has gained many friends during his residence here by his kindly disposition. He was for a while the agent of The Evening Star in this city. His funeral will be attended by his com- rades of Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, of which he was a member. The church services here yesterday were well attended. Rev. W. M. Usborne of Washington filled the pulpit of Trinity M. E, Church, Rev. J. P. Smith of Richmond preached at the Second Presbyterian Church. The pastorless pulpit of St. Paul's | P. E. Church was filled by Rev. Dr. Wal- | ker, services being conducted in the after- moon by Mr. Plummer. The funeral of Mrs. Adeline K. Evans of Washington came over the ferry yesterday afternoon, and her remains were interred in the cemetery here. The mission services at Grace P. E. | Church by Rev, Joseph Reynolds, jr., of New York will be opened tomorrow even- ‘ing. Services will take place six times each day, concluding with a mission sermon every night. | a | ALEXANDRIA COUNTY NEWS. A building association is being formed in the county; a meeting was held last Thurs- day night at Columbia schoolhouse, and all the details nearly completed. Another meet- ing will be held in a few days to complete | the organization. ; The teacher and pupils of the public | School at Ballston today moved out of the old schoolhouse into the new, a handsome | structure of press brick laid in black mor- | tar, two stories high, with lofty tower and imposing front. Trustees Douglas, Bailey )and Veitch and Superintendent of Schools Clements, had control of the building. B. | Stanley Simmons of Washington was the |architect, and Messrs. A. W. Nourse and William Bale, the builders. The structure is not entirely completed, but will be in | about a month. A grand concert will be given at the Pres- byterian Church at Ballston on Tuesday right next. The male quartet, composed of Messrs. McFarland, Simmons, Griffith and Dr. Johnston of this city, with Prof. C. C. Woodward as organist, will render some fine |music. Mrs. A. L. Powell-Curriden will also sing several sol and Prof. E. C. and Miss | Ada Townsend will entertain the people | with readings and recitations. Proceeds are for the benefit of the church. All the landowners in the county of Alex- andria between Washington and Falls Church are willing to give the land for a right-of-way for an electrié railroad be- tween these two points. The meeting held t Falls Church last Thursday evening has ncouaged the people greatly, and many will subscribe liberally to the building of the road. A meeting of the directors of the company wiil be held this evening to con- sider the feasibility of the immediate con- ion of the road. Frank Hume has entirely recovered severe spell of sickness of last ‘summer. It was thought at one time that Mr. Hume would, on account of ill health, resign his place as president of the board | of supervisors, which would have been a serious blow to the county. He has done much for the advancement of his county in the last few years, one of the finest new | brick school houses in the state bears his name, and he has had constructed the best stone and gravei driving road in this sec- tion, from near the Alington estate to | Alexandria city, and is still continuing his good work by allowing no roads to be con- | structed except by gravel and stone, and in | this he is ably seconded by Supervisors J. W. Clark and R. Harry Phillips. Messrs. G. S. and C. H. Owen of West | Washington, having bought two villa sites at Ballston, are making arrangements for the erection of two cottages thereon; two new houses are just being finished at Carlin | Springs, four are just being commenced ut | Fostoria and the brickwork on the hand- | some new Methodist Church at Arlington is nearly completed. Two _new establishments have just started up at Ballston—Messrs. Albert and Edward Veitch have erected a mill for grinding sau- soge meat, of which they dispose of large | Quantities in Washington and Georgetown and the surrounding country, and Mr. C. | V. Wilson has erected a saw and feed miil. —_ | FREDERICK CITY, rid The December term of the circuit court | for Frederic county will convene on the |second Monday in December, and on Sat- urday the petit jury was drawn, the follow ling being chosen: Franklin C.

Leonard, Jesse Anderson , on the sth of | September, will be taken to Rockville this i week, where his case comes up within the |next few days. He has been confined in | Jail here since the murder and his counsel will, It is thought, set up a plea of insan- ity. The Frederick County Agricultural So- ciety held a special meeting on Saturda and elected Postmaster Harry C. Keefer of Frederick as secretary to succeed the late Geo. Wm. Cramer. Mr. Keefer has been corresponding secretary for about eight years. His successor as corresponding sec- | retary will not be elected until the annual meeting of the society in January. The next annual fair will be held on the 9th, j loth, 11th and 12th of October, 1894. The sad news has been received here that Prof. Thurston Simmons, an instructor of English branches in the Chester, Pa.. mili- \tary academy, has become insane and been nt to an asylum for treatment.

The disastrous fire which took place on Mr. A. C. Flack’s farm, consuming his cor | modious barn, on the Rockville pike near Garrett Park, which occurred between the hours of 8 and 10 Thursday night, was dis- | tressing in so as the burning of \horses. There were six In the stable at- tached to the barn, five of them owned by Mr. Flack, the other fine mare the property of a resident of Washington. ‘The horses were burned to a crisp.

The whole stock of hay and grain garnered during the past season was swept away by the flames. The.loss is estimated at 36,000, with an insurance of only $1,600. ‘The cause of the fire is unknown, but active steps are being taken to ascertain how this calamity occurred. ‘The Wednesday Social Club held its reg- ular meeting at the residence of Mrs. H. Dorsett. The principal features on this oc- casion were singing and reading, after which refreshments were in order. There was a full attendance. The club will have its reunion on Wednesday next at Mrs. Soleau's house on Montrose avenue. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany is rip-rapping along the bank of Rock creek, where recent railroad improvements have been made. A narrow escape from conflagration hap- pened at the residence of Mrs. Margaret Marsh by the presence of mind of Mr. Harry Marsh, who, upon the explosion of a coal oil lamp, quickly extinguished the fire.

Mrs. Prescott Wright has recovered from her recent iliness. —_——-.—__ ROCKVILLE. As ts usual in this section, and indeed all parts of the state, at this season of the year, the subject of improved public roads is receiving more than usual attention. During the summer and early fall when the ordinary dirt roads will answer the de- mands of travel and transportation all is well, but when rain, snow and mud take Possession of the highways, then the farm- ers who have crops to get to market be- |sin to talk in favor of better roads. The trouble is that it has always heretofore ended in talk. If good, substantial high- Ways could be constructed without resort to higher taxation for this purpose they would have been in existence in this county long ago, but when the subject of increas- ing the rate of taxation for this purpose is mooted then a large majority of farmers are disposed to “kick” with exceeding vim. The latest plan discussed in this section is that recently formulated by the Maryland Road League, the provisions of which con- template the passage of a law by the leg- islature which convenes in January next, which will provide for a state engineering department, which shall be under the con- trol of a chief engineer with such assist- ants as may be deemed necessary. To this branch is also to be added county boards With the full power to supervise und con- trol the building and repair of roads and bridges. Another provision of the proposed law is that in future the work necessary to | be done on public highways shall be award- fed to the lowest responsible bidders, and | not, as at present, in many instances given Jout’to persons wholly unfitted for the work |in payment for political favors. These | provisions of the proposed law appear to | meet with general favor in this section | and the members elect to the legislature from this county wili doubtless be urged to favor this class of legislation. Thought- ful men begin to realize the fallacy of the county spending yearly frerh)$15,000; to $17,000 for alleged repairs to the prefent dirt roads, when this amount, now almost virtually thrown away, would pay the in- terest on a sum sufficient to macadamize the principal roads of the county in a few years and leave a margin to a sinking fund to pay the county bonds issued for the purpose. Pentalpha Lodge of Masons of Gaithers- burg will dedicate their lodge room on De- | cember 1, at which a banquet will be given. | Several prominent members of the fra |nity from other places are expected to par- ticipate. The entertainment and supper given by | the ladies of Christ Episcopal Church at| the Town Hall, this place, was quite a suc- | lcess financially and otherwise, netting $115 for the benefit of the parsonage fund. The various tables were presided over by | following ladies: Mrs. R. T. Viers, | Rose Williams. Mrs. L. L. Nicholson, Mrs. H. W. Talbott and the Misses Lowry, Mollie Holland and Salite Griffith. ‘The council of Rockville at a recent meet- A GOOD BUILDING UP | of a run-down system can be accomplished by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery.

Dr. James A. Stewart, secretary and executive officer of the state board of health, was present and delivered an ad- dress of much interest. He spoke of the county commissioners as the custodians of the health of the people of the county and urged upon them the duty of maintaiming the same by the abatement of all nuisances in the shape of stagnant ponds along the course of the public roads. and the proper drainage of the same. He also spoke of the necessity of good sanitary regulations in the towns and villages of the county and urged the strict enforcement of all sanitary laws and ordinances. The importance of the vaccination of children in families and the public schools was also adverted to in he address. The Kitty Ann Whalen contested will case, set for trial at the present term of the circuit court, has, upon motion of coun- sel, been removed to Hagerstown.

Of the hundred million or more stars which are visible with astronomical instru- ments, the distances from the earth of only a very few have been measured with even an approximation to accuracy. Most of the stars appear to be so far away that the change in their apparent place caused by viewing them from opposite sides of the earth*s orbit—and that orbit is about one hundred and eighty-six million miles across —is so slight that it escapes certain detec- tion. Only about fifty stars have thus far yielded definite results in the attempt to measure their distances, and even those re- sults are too often exceedingly conflicting and uncertain. The nearest star thus far discovered is one of the first magnitude, not visible from the United States or Europe. It is the star called Alpha in the constelia- ton of the Centaur in the southern hemi- sphere of the heavens. The distance of this star appears to be something like twenty trillions of miles, or | about two hundred and fifteen thousand times as great as the distance of the sun from the earth. The next nearest star, as far as known, is a little sixth-magnitude twinkler, barely visible to the naked eye, in the constellation of Cygnus, popularly called the Northern Cross. The distance of this star, which is known to astronomers as 61 Cygni, is variously estimated at from forty to sixty trillion miles, or two or three times that of the bright star in the Centaur. The brightness of the stars, as We see them, is, then, no measure of their comparative distance. A very bright star may be much more distant than a very faint one, the difference being due to the greater magni- tude of the more distant star. Sirius, or the dog-star, for instance, which scintillates so splendidly in the winter sky, is more distant than the little star 61 Cygni, the latter being in fact a very much smaller sun than ours, while Sirius is a far Jarger one. it thus appears that while the efforts to measure the distances of the stars have not been very successful, yet they have result- ed in giving us a wonderful insight into the arrangement of the universe of suns in the midst of which we dwell. They have prov- ed that large stars and small stars are scattered through space at various distances from one another and from us; that the dimensions of the blazing bodies which we call stars or suns, vary to an enormous ex- tent; and that our own sun great, glorious and overpowering as it seems to us, really belongs to a quite inferior rank. But it is possible that before many years ; our knowledge of the distances of the stars | may be greatly extended. Spectroscopic tn- | vestigation in the case of binary stars, as those are called which circle in pairs around their common center of gravity, is begin- ning to help us a little in this direction. Recently, for instance, Mr. G. W. Colles, jr., has calculated, from the results of such in- vestigation, the mean distance of ninety five stars situated in the northern hem sphere of the heavens, and he finds it equal to the distance which light would travel in about one hundred and fifty years. That seventy trillion miles, or more than forty- nearest known star, Alpha Centauri. Yet enormous as such a distance is, it is nearly certain that the average distance of all the stars composing the visible universe is still greater. And here and there the starry heavens, even in their richest regions, pre- sent black and apparently empty spaces through which we seem to look ovt fron: the bounds of the visible universe into ;fathomless depths beyond.
