AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Dangerous Dynamite Blasting at a Ooal In the Police Court—Prefers Death to a Surgical Operation—Other Notes. While Julius Driefus was breaking up an old iron boat Saturday by blasting it with dynamite at the old American coal wharf several pieces of the iron were thrown around the neighborhood for several squares. One of the pieces, weighing about six pounds, came sailing over the big gas tank at the city gas works and struck the brick wall of the building and cracked sev- eral of the bricks; other small pieces of the iron fell about the yard, and had any cne bgen struck by them he would have been dangerously injured. The matter was re- ported to Mayor Thompson, who notified Mr. Driefus that he would have to discon- tinue blasting within the city Iimits. He Prefers to Die. An individual known es “John the baker,” who is an inmate of the city’s alms house, is suffering from gangrene in the feet, and if he does not receive heroic treatment, b:s death is of course inevitable. Saturday Drs. Purvis ard Miller told him as much, and asked that he go to the infirmary, where all the appliances for the treatment of such cases could be found. This he positively re- fused to do, saying that he preferred to stay wherehe is and take the consequences. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Patrick Dolan, charged with being drunk and disorderly; fined $2.50. George Ford and Sam Murray, cherge, drunk and disorderly; fined $2.50 each. Lizzie Richardson and Lizzie Mc- Cenkle, colored, charged with disorderly conduct; fined $1 each.

Owing to the withdrawal of the leading team in this section from the foot ball fieli—the Maryland Agricultural College—and the Western Maryland Col- lege team, the foot ball trophy which the Laurel Journal intended to give to the col- lege teams of the state to contest for will not now, it is thought, be offered.

Mr. and -Mrs. Walter Jones entertained theeuchre club Friday evening at their residence, Inglenook, on Walnut avenue. The fact that this meeting was the closing one of the quarter, at which the prizes were to be distributed, lent additional iifterest to the occasion.

C, Mitcheil; lady’s consolation prize, to Miss Carrie Gurley; gentleman's first prize, to Mr. Harry Mitchell; gentleman's consolation prize, to Mr. Stacking.

Cough remedies will not do it, because it means more than a simple cold. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites will do it, and at the same time will build up and fortify the system against further attacks. We are putting up a so-cent size for just these local difi- culties. For ordinary Coughs and Colds that quantity will doubtless cure. If it is deep- seated it may require more.

ALEXANDRIA COUNTY. The question of removing the county court house from the city of Alexandria out into a central part of the county is again being discussed. The court house now is not in the county, but within the corporate limits of Alexandria city. Some people of thé county claim that it is il- legal to try cases and record papers in a court house outside of the county, while all agree that it is inconvenient. The city of Alexandria and county own jointly about two acres of land and the large, old court house, in the best portion of Alexandria city. A determined effort now will be made by the county people to sell this property and divide the money, and with the portion coming to the county to construct a suit- able court house, clerks’ office and jail in the county. Several gentlemen will not only give the land upon which to con- struct the court house, but will also give several thousand dollars to assist in paying for the building of the same. Ex-United States Senator John B. Hen- derson, who last year bought several hun- dred acres of land in the county near Bali- ston, mostly covered with original oak trees, is making arrangements to divide the same into large villa sites of from five to ten acres ach, and selling them to the people of Washington for summer homes. The old Methodist Church at Mt. Olivet, in the nortbern part of the cou:lty, is bein removed, and upon the oid foundation will be constructed a handsome new church. Rev. Mr. Norris, pastor of this church, has been» struggling for nearly two years to raise funds to build this new church, and has succeeded so far as to be willing to start s new structure. Much credit is due to Pastor Norris for his indefatigable efforts in this matter. Mr. Randolph Birgh, the coroner of the county, is quite sick at his residence near Fort Myer, in the county.

All work is being done in stone and gravel, so as to make hard and permanent roadbeds, The road tax is now about $9,000 a year, and it ceems to be the plan now to have permanent road work done. ——— TAKOMA PARK.
