It is believed there are two others in the ruins. jured and missing are colored people. The building was built in 1860, and was regarded used in its construction. For years water by J. Wade & Sons, the upper stories were rented to two colored families, all of whom escaped unhurt. No. 154 first floor was va- cant. The upper floors were cut up into lodging rooms for colored women and men. The killed are Amy Simmons, aged cig! teen years, deaf; John Morgan, aged thirty, barber; William Cook, aged twenty-eight, barber; Louise Marks, aged twenty-five. The wounded are Andrew Harris, aged eighteen, slight; Catharine Boyd,aged twen- ty-six, serious; Sylvania Perkins, aged twen- ty, slight; Georgia Gunn, aged thirty-fiv serious; Cora Murphy, aged twenty-eigh fatal. debris.

The new street, named long ago after Chancellor George Wythe of Virginia, has been until now a mere geographical expression, but it will now enter into the life of the town. The new street begins in the fields, which are still in grass, and it has no house upon It, except some cabins, until it passes Fayette street and crosses the base ball grounds, on the north, where there is a handsome mod- ern dwelling, on the corner of Wythe and Henry streets. There are no other dwell- ings of importance until it reaches Colum- bus street, and then there are fine houses on each side from Columbus to Washing- ton street. From Washington to St. Asaph street it passes Portner’s brewery, and it then makes the deep cut made through the hill to Royal street and crosses Yeaton’s marsh on an elevation of the earth taken out from the cut in the hill and placed in the marsh, the old canal brook being led under it through a temporary culvert. At Fairfax street it makes another cut through the hills which overlook the Potomac, and it comes out to the river shore alongside the track of the Washington and Ohio railroad. In some portions of the street the cut is twenty fect, and has reached the potters’ clay or fuller’s earth which | underlies so much of Alexandria. This street is now very much in the condition of Fairfax street from Princess to Came- ron a hundred years ago. . ‘The Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Virginia, which is now opening its annual session here, will have a reception at Lannon’s Opera House tonight. The funeral of Mrs. Virginia Baggott, the teacher of the Lee public school, No. 5, took place this morning, and was at- tended by the children of her school, many of the teachers and other friends, includ- ing the Ladies’ Sodality of St.’ Mary's Church. A mass of requiem was solemniz. ed by Rev. Father Cutler, pastor of St. Mary’s Church, and the funeral procession then moved to the Catholle cemetery, where the venerable teacher was laid at rest beside her father, mother, brothers and sis- ters, all of whom have preceded her in the ‘great_hereafter. Mayor Strauss is engaged in forwarding | this morning a marriage between Arthur | Parker and Bettie Jackson, both colored. | There are conditions under the law of! Virginia, like the law of Moses, requiring that atonement for wrong-doing which | Miss Pollard has sought from Col.

There will be several boxing matches at Dan Henry's theater one night this week. The regular weekly drill of the Alexan- dria Light Infantry will take place tonight and a full attendance of members is expect- ed. The company is now getting so large that it has been found necessary to drill in platoons. Nothing definite can be learned as to whether or not they will be ordered to Manassas on the 20th instant, when the negro ravishers, White and Robinson, will be hung, unless respited by the governor, pending the decision of the courts as to! thet there will be! It is thought, howev no trouble at Manassas and that the law | will be allowed to take its course The company expects to take a pleasant trip to | Fredericksburg on May 10 to take part in| the dedication exercises of the Mary Wash- ington monument. The electric railroad carried a crowd cf excursionists to Mt. Vernon this morning. | The ladies who are arranging for the} tableaux and fancy dances for the benefit of the poor have decided to have it about the Ist of May. The entertainment will be! on a grand scale and conducted by the| leaders of society here. All the participants | are well-known society people, and some | have already made their mark on the ama- teur stage. Mr. Hough of the Mask and Wig Club of Baltimore will come over to take part and put on his now famous skirt dance. The entire proceeds will be devoted to charitable purposes. The regular meeting of the city council takes place tonight, when matters of im- portance will be brought up. i SS ANACOSTIA. The subjotned communication from the president of the Anacostia and Potomac of the subject of the transfer system and the reasons for its discontinuance by the company, from the standpoint of the man- agement of that corporation, in reply to the resolutions of the citizens’ committee of March 30. The letter is to Mr. R. B. Buck- ley, president of the Anacostia Citizens’ As- sociation, and reads: “Concerning the dis- continuance of transfers with the Belt and Eckington companies, and in reply to your resolution of March 30, I have the honor to state that during the year 1898 the Anacos- tia and Potomac River railway carried 199,- 788 passengers from those lines, from which it received nothing in return. With this in- | crease in the number of passengers carried | over the year 1892, receipts were more than $1,300 less. If you will follow the route of our com- pany, you will see that, taking the govern- ment departments as a whole, {t reaches them more nearly than any other route in the District of Columbia; also quite as many of the business houses and financial institutions. A further examination of the system will show that by taking advantage | of every available transfer, as offered dur- | ing the year 1805, passengers could ride | over nearly our whole line and return, as well as parts of the other lines, for one fare. The extent to which this could be done was only limited to the number of per- sons who had the leisure. The highest num- ber of passengers carried by transfer from other lines in any one day was 1,304. Again, jassuming that the home of 4 passenger was equi-distant with the car to be reached by transfer, how many would think of rid- ing if it cost anything? “The transfer system was only entered into upon repeated solicitations by the then management of the Belt line and citizens of | ent were Misses Ida and Nellie Rice, J than a year, to be doubly sure of the effect, and without a realization of hepe that it increase riding and be a beneflt to Anacostia, without loss to the company, is it discontinued. Yourself and the associa- tion you so well represent can make 0 mis- take in assuming that the better the travel and income on the line the better the service.” —_— HYATTSVILLE. A lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars was organized at the Presb Church in this village last Friday ing. The following officers were elected: Chief templar, Howard 0. Emmon templar, Espey D. Buck; grand couavelor, Harry Shepherd; superintendent juventie templars, Mrs. H. Moffatt; secretary, Miss Louise Garey; treasurer, Miss Edith Rathbone; chaplain, L. W.

Britt has purchased the hand- some dwelling belonging to Miss Rachel Lewin at the corner of Wine and Littlefield avenues and is now occupying it with his family. A number of fine herring have been re- cently caught at Bladensburg. —_— KENSINGTON, The new county road between Kensington | and Connecticut avenue extended, which has been in course of construction during the winter, is now completed, the bridge over Rock creek having been finished dur- ing the past week. This gives Kensington a most desirable outlet, as the route to Wash- ington is several miles shorter than by the old road. There is also much beautiful scenery along this route. On Friday night the barn of Mr. Bose Pierce on the 7th street pike was totally de- stroyed by fire, and a valuable horse peri8h- ed in the flames. It is generally supposed that the fire was the work of tramps. The meetings of the Woman’s Home Mis- sionary and Ladies’ Aid socict will be held on Wednesday, beginning at 11 o'clock a. m., at the home of Mrs. J. F. Stoek. The regular meeting of the Library Asso- ciation, which was to have been held on Fri- day evening next, is indefinitely postponed.

Miss Mary Fulton of Washington is spend- ing a few days with her cousin, Miss Grace Dorian, ———___ FOREST GLEN. Mr. James N. Engle, elder of the Forest Glen Presbyterian Church, will report to the presbytery, which meets in Baltimore tomorrow, that the church here has collcct- ed over $100 above the regular expenses of the church for missionary purposes and church repairs.
