Tke company departed from the 6th street depot at 11:15 o'clock this morning. amid the cheers and tears of scores of best girls, fond parents, interested friends and ‘ational Guardsmen. Owing to the large amount of preparation necessary, the drill of the company last night was omitted. Packing was in order all evening at the mory, as was the bringing in and the carrying away of baggage.

As the train pulled out the departing guards- men gave vent to their well-known com- pany yell and waved to those on the plat- form. The stay-at-homes shouted words of good cheer and wishes for success, and the Morton Cadets were gone. For: business reasons Capt. Shilling was unable to accompany the company today.

Robert Ferguson, who is employed in the harbormaster’s office, proved himself a hero yesterday afternoon by jumping in the water at the foot of 7th street and saving the life of Mrs. Bridget Fitzgerald. Mrs. Fitzgerald is an old lady, who re- sides at 7th and F streets southwest. She had gone to the wharf to meet the steamer Mattano, which lanas at the foot of 7th street. In some manner the old lady fell off the top of the wharf into the river, which at that point is about ten feet deep, and she disappeared immediately. The persons who witnessed the accident shout- ed for help. The attention of Ferguson was attracted; he ran to the spot, and saw the drowning woman struggling in the water. He at once jumped in, caught hold of her and supported her until Harbor- master Sutton and Capt. Harry Robinson rescued both. Mrs. Fitzgerald recovered consciousness in a short while, and was taken to her home, apparently none the worse for estly disc! had done. er experience.

The steamer Jane Moseley, fast and well appointed in every respect, makes a trip to Colonial Beach, that most delightful resort, every day, and the large crowds that she invariably carries down attest the popularity of the excursion. Next week there will be several interesting sporting events at this beach, amoug them being bicycle races, including one for ten miles: polo matches and a yacht race, and these will attract the attention of a great many, so that the full capacity of the Moseley will be tested. Friday there will be a spe- cial family excursion, when the round trip fare will be reduced.

Sousa, and that is guarantee enough that everything will be done in first-class fashion. Mr. P. B. Otterback, chairman of the committee, and his associates have considered the numbers with the greatest care, that some- thing entirely new may constitute the bill. After the entertainment dancing will be enjoyed until the departure of the boat for home.

The democratic primary convention was held in Jefferson magisterial district of Alexandria county last night, in Hume's school house, for the purpose of electing a delegate and alternate to the state con- vention, which will meet in Roanoke, V in August. After the election of Messrs. Russell Wil- kinson as chairman and J. E. Supplee ai secretary, the meeting proceeded to busi- ness. Quite a breeze was raised by some as to the admission of gold democrats to the primary, but the meeting decided that they were entitled to admission, and it would be unwise to exclude them. It was argued that it should be the aim and object of democracy to hold together and prepare for the battle that is ahead, instead of drifting further apart. The promises made at the last election by the republican party were as yet unfulfilled, they declared, and opinion is rapidly chang- ing. and with a united front democracy would advance to victory in the next presi- dential elect‘on. After this incident Mr. A. S. Doniphan put Mr. Frank Hume in nomination, and, there being no opposition, he was unan: mously elected as the delegate. Mr. Brown” was then chosen as alternate. The meeting, upon motion, indorsed Mr. Jas. R. Caton of Alexandria City for the of- fice of Neutenant governor of Virginia. Mr. Hume was then called upon, and ‘made a short speech, which was well re- ceived. He was fetlowed by Mr. Brown, the alternate, who indorsed Mr. Hume's re- marks. It was decided to send delegates unin- structed, except as to Mr. Caton. Attention was called by Mr. Hume to a publication in respect to the taxing of the property of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railroad Company un- der a recent decision of the supreme court of Virgiria. A committee of three, con sisting of Dr. Rust, chairman; Mr. Hum and Mr. Brown, was appointed to wait upon the board of supervisors to urge ac tion on their part relative to the matt and to impress upon them the importance of conserving the interests of the county. The meeting then adjourned. > AT REST. fon Send ww to the Coal Miners. Resolutions expressing sympathy with the striking*miners were introduced at the last regular meeting of the Printing Press- men's Union, No. 1, of this city, by Jo- seph J. Birmingham, and were unantmous- ly adopted. The resolutions were to the effect that as the soft coal miners of the states of Penn- sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Ilinols have for several years past been upon the verge of starvation, and have been recipients of charity in the face of the fact that they are willing to work; and the National Mine Workers’ Union having decided to make a fight for living wages for its members, that they may be self- supporting, it was resolved that the Wash- ington Printing Pressmen’s Union, No. 1, tender them heartfelt sympathies and spp- port. It was further resolved that the officers of the American Federation of Labor be re- quested to call an immediate meeting of the national executive council of the A. F. of L., and that they levy an assessment of 10 cents per week upon cach and every in- dividual member of every trades union represented therein, the same to be given to the miners to support them in their just struggle for better conditions. It was declared to be the sense of the union that said assessment shall continue until victory perches on the banners of the striking miners; and it was directed that copies of the resolutions be forwarded to the A. F. of L., the American pressmen, the international officers and to the daily Press of this city The resolutions were signed by Emil T tersen, president, and E. F.
