ALEXANDRIA, About 40,000 people have died in Alex- | andria since the town was established, | and, although the town has been some- | times very nearly at a standstill, the popu- lation of its graveyards has constantly increased, At first all the graves were | made on the hillside which sloped from | Royal street toward the old creek which runs. About the time of the revolution and for thirty years afterward all the graves were made around Christ Church and stood on Fairfax near Wolfe street. These two cemeteries with the Friends’ cemetery, | at the corner of Columbus and Queen streets, still remain cared for, but since 1808 no interment within the corporation | lines has been legal. Almost all the old cemeteries of the Presbyterian, Episcopal and Methodist churches are now filled with graves. Even the Union cemetery, in which the first grave was made shortly before the late war, is now nearly full, and the corporation cemetery at Penny | | Hill is more than full, many of the graves having two stories of dead. The picturesque Ivy Hill cemetery, on the hills west of the | tewn, still has room for many hundred tenants, and the new Bethel cemetery near Gibbons and Hamilton streets has capacity ample enough for the burial of half the present generation: The Catholic cemetery, established in 17! has been twice en- larged and is now about to be extended east by a picturesque addition, which will include several fine hilis. Whatever may be | the fortune of Alexandria in the future | there certainly will be no need to cremate | its dead for want of ground to bury them in. Judge Keith, who résumed his session | of his circuit court here yesterday, has completed the March term and adjourned until September. During the session, on the probate side the estate of Daniel | Grooms was committed for administration | to Sergeant Smith. _The case of Nelson | against Packwood, ‘in which Gordon & Gordon of Washington were engaged, was | completed by final decree. In the case of the Manufacturers’ National Bank vs. Peake the bill was dismissed; in Walton | Smith's executor a new_ trustee appointed; in the case of Wm. H. tcher of Washington against the Deis Manufacturing Company the report of | | Commissioner Carlin was confirmed, and in the case of Lacy vs. the Washington Southern Railroad Company the demurrers were overruled. | White and Robinson, sentenced to death, | are still in jail here, but Gov. O’Ferrall yesterday respited Robinson until the 20th | of April’so that he and White may be ex- ecuted on the same day. » Midland Railway Company and the shington and Ohio Railway Company met here yesterday afternoon and imme- — adjourned until the 2ist of next funeral of Capt. Joseph M. Davis ace here this afternoon from his ne, on Wolfe s near the Alex- Infirmary, and was attended by many relatives and friends.

ANACOSTIA, The Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor of the Garden Memorial Presby- terian Church will give a social on Tuesday evening, the 2ith instant. An inviting musical and literary program is in course | of preparation for the occasion. Mr, John H. Rollins died very suddenly | yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, at his residence, corner of Monroe and Wash- |ington streets, in the fifty-fourth year of his age. He was present with his family at the breakfast table, and received no warning of his approaching dissolution, all the symptoms in the case, however, pointing to | heart disease as the cause. A wife and sev- en children survive him. The funeral will take place from his late residence on Fri- |day (tomorrow) at 2:30 p, m. The inter- | ment will be at the Congressional cemetery. |The Rev.

Friend John J. Cornell has held meetings at Spencerville, Lay Hill and in the parlors | at Plainfield, the home of Robert R. and William W. Moore. ‘The Savings Institution of Sandy Spring, as announced at its late annual meeting, had an increase in deposits of $10,000 dur- ing the fiscal year ending March 1, 1894. The directors are seriously considering the necessity for a more convenient and com- |modious room for the transaction of their business, The “Senior Club” met at “Charley For- est,” the home of Francis Downey, on Saturday afternoon, with Edward C. Gil- pin in the chair and Ulric Hutton secre- tal The guests ‘were two former mem- bers, George E. Brooke and Samuel P. Thomas, and Chas. F. Brooke and Francis Snowden. This productive farm, one — the first cultivated in this section, was@for- merly owned by William Scofield, and it is apparently in no danger of deteriorat- ing from its high standard while under the | energetic management of Mr. Downey. | The club found much to commend and lit- tle to critisize in the first visit it has ever made to “Charley Forest.” The “Enterprise Club” also convened on March 17, for the first time at the home of a new member, William Canby of Coles- ville. John J. Cornell and Robert. H. Mil- | ler were guests, and nearly all the members attended. Arthur Stabler presided, and Will- jiam W. Moore served as secretary. John | J.
