AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA A Multitude of Fires Suggests the Presence of Incendiaries. Eurinl of John H. Cook Atténded by Kit Carson Post, G. A. R— General News. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st., Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 4, 1897. From the large number of fires which have occurred in the second ward during the past week, it is apparent that fiends are at work in that locality. Thursday night last the old Netherland foundry, at the corner of Lee and Queen streets, was discovered to be on fire, and in a short while was completely destroyed. Every- thing connected with the fire pointed to an incendiary origin. Saturday night the old ccoper shop, one square north of the old foundry, was destroyed. This fire was also apparently started by some malicious per- son. The climax was capped, however, last night, when Sergt. Smith and Officer Fer- guson discovered fire in a lot of old bags at the Alexandria Fertilizer and Chemical Company's piant, on the corner of Princess and Lee streets. An alarm was sounded and the fire extinguished before much damage had been done. About a year ago the Alexandria Fertil- izer Company's works were almost com- pletely destroyed by fire, which was thought to be of an incendiary origin. This fertilizer company has one of the largest plants in the south, and employs a large number of men, who would have been thrown out of employment had the fire fiend’s purpose been accomplished. The residence of Mr. William Cleveland, on Seminary Hill, about three miles west of this city, was completely destroyed by fire yesterday morning, about seven o'clock. ‘Very few of the household effects were saved. The origin of the fire is unknown. The barn and several haystacks, situated near Northwest Alexandria, belonging to Mr. W. B. Smoot, were burned to the ground yesterday. This barn has for a number of years been a retreat for hoboes, and it is supposed the fire was caused ty one of them. John H. Cook Buried. The funeral of the late John H. Cook, whose death was mentioned in The Star, took place frcm Grace Episcopal Church yester€ay afternoon, and was largely at- tended by the members of the Junior Order of American Mechanics, of which the de- ceased was a member ‘The floral tributes were profuse and handsome. Rev. Clarence E. Ball conducted the services, and the interment was !n Union cemetery. ‘The pal- bearers were Geo. H. Hinken, Geo. Hall and C. W. Southertand of Lafayette Lodge, Independent Order of Mechanics; James Griffin, J. W. Conner and Frank Warder of Junior Order, and Mr. Thomas B. McKie, an oid comrade of the deceased. Kit Car- son Post, G. A. R., of Washington attended the funeral in a body. New Lodge Organized. Robert E. Lee Lodge of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen was organized in this city yesterday afternoon.

For housebreaking and the larceny of a high-grade bicycle, Robert Williams, a ‘colored youth, has been sent to jail by Judge Kimball of the Police Court, to await the action of the grand jury. It was testified that between 1 o'clock and 6 o'clock Friday morning the office of Wil- Ham B. Lord, at 607 Louisiana avenue, was entered, and Mr. Lord's bicycle stolen. Early in the morning Sergt. Daley of the fourth precinct received a message by tel- phone that a colored man was crossing the Long bridge, carrying a bicycle on his back. Sergt. Daley mounted his wheel and overhauled the man just as he reached the south end of the bridge. ‘The prisoner was brought back and Mr. Lord notified of the arrest.

Beginning of October Term, All the Justices Present. The Court of Appeals met today for the first time since last June, inaugurating the October term of the court, Mr. Chief Jus- tice Alvey ‘and Associate Justices Mo and Shepard being present. “ = The calendar of the court shows forty odd general cases to be heard, fifteen on the special calendar and nine patent ap- Is. One of the cases on the special ider came up from the Police Court, that of Mamie L. De Forrest, convicted of keeping a disorderly house, and Assistant District Attorney Baker moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground tHat the de- fendant failed to perfect her bill of ex- ceptions in time. The motion was taken under advisement, as was that in the case of Dr. Aschel H. Alderman against the district board of medical supervisors, the court below having granted a writ of man- damus against the board, requiring them to grant Dr. Alderman a license. The Dis- trict appealed, and Mr. Tracey L. Jeffords, counsel for Dr. Alderman, today asked the Court of Appeals to dismiss the appeal on the ground that counsel for the District failed to file the record witnin the required forty cays. The appeals in the Holt will case were postponed at request of counsel until next month. The following were admitted to practice before the court: Rossa F. Downing, Lev- erett F. Engslesby, James P. O’Laughlin, Allen C. McDonald, W. B. Hindmarsh, Isaac L. Henson, a young colored attorney, and Charles Poe. SS A PLEASING PROGRAM.

Mounted Policeman Wilfred L. Harries of the eighth precinct was found in front of the fourth precinct station about 12:45 o'clock yesterday morning with an ugly flesh wound behind his right ear. He had called at the staticn about 12:80 o’clock to see some brothers officers with whom hé hed once done duty, and remained about fifteen minutes. Shaking hands with his friends at the conclusion of the interview, he passed out the door just as a colored man seeking information walked in. The colored man remained in the station only a few minutes, and soon after bis depart- ure those in the station heard the report of a pistol shot, but they did not tealize what it was until the wounded officer called for help. Stationkeeper Sollers went out and found Harries in the conditien stated. The wounded officer said éad had troubled him so much that he couldn't stand it. Before leaving the station he had teld of his sickness. Because of illness he had been off duty on leave of absence for several days. He had suffered from an affection of the lungs or throat, and his illness had made him despondent. The wounded man handed the station keeper thrze letters, to be delivered to Major Moore, Lieutenant Kenney and his brother, Fred Harries, in the event of his death. If he recovere&® they were to be returned. As svon as it was seen that he had been wounded, Harries was placed in the patrol | wagon and driven to the Emergency Hos- pital, where the doctors found that only a scalp wound had been inflicted. The wound was dressed and the injured officer went home. —_+___ ‘Your credit is good at Lansburgh’s Fur- niture Hause, 13th and F streets.—Advt. ——_>—_—_ Union Soldiers’ Alliance.

N.W. .; | WEEK BECINBING Matters of Interest to Residents Alexandria County, Va. The public schools of J district of Alexandria county opened Sosy the last meeting of the board of trustees, held in the court houee in Alexandria city, the following teachers were appointed to preside over the schools named: Jefferson School, No. 1 (colored), Mr. Huffman; Luff- ner, No. 2 (white), Mr. Walter Varncy; Scott, No. 8 (colored), Mr. Jackson; Hume, No. 4 (white), Miss Maggie Bashford; Robertson, No. 5 (white), Miss Keyes. The beard of trustees, which consists of John Robertson, chairman; E. T. Sisson, secre- tary, and Geo. Salisbui made some changes which it was believed were nec- to the improvement of the schools over the condition of last year. Capt. Rob- ertson, in speaking of the prospects, says the indications point to a very successful session. It is the intention to give a medal to the scholar making the highest average during the year at Robertson School, No. 5, situated in Del Ray. Some time ago a question was raised in Jefferson district as to the eligibility of one of the school trustees, who had been elect- ed to the office of justice of the peace. It was held that his election as justice dis- }Aualified him as trustee-under the law for- bidding any person from holding two county offices. The contention at the time by the gentleman was that as there were no emoluments -attached to either. office, he could act with propriety in both, but opinion is widely divided, and those cp- posed point out that no mention is made of emoluments. As yet no steps have been ptaken in the matter. The republicans of Alexandria county held a convention last Monday for the Purpose of naming delegates to attend the state convention at.Lynchburg. There was & disagreement. between the committee and its chairman, Mr. Tippet Allen, and as he refused to obey the mandate of State Chairman Lamb, the committee took the matter in hand and issued the call. A full list of delegates was named by the con- vention. The delegates go uninstructed, but the name of Gen. Walker was mentioned as the one that would probably be supported for governor. The work authorized by the board of supervisors of Alexandria county on the county extension of Columbus street in Alexandria city is being performed, and 250 yards of gravel will soon be spread, al- though it is not thought to be sufficient to make this road the proper width. The repairing of the Washington and Alexandria turnpike is something the many users of the route would like to see accom- plished, us its use is prohibited except at the expense of great discomfort in wet or very dry weather, but it is claimed that nothing can be accomplished in this direc- tion without the consent of the Pennsylva- nia Railroad Company, which occupies the east fifty feet of the pike. ‘The project of having Mt. Vernon avenue extended from its ending at Del Ray through to Alexandria is also desired by citizens, and it is hoped soon to see its :c- ccmplishment, although those promoting meeting with opposition. seems to be to have good the matter are The general rule PURE, that’s sure; SURE, for it’s pure: CLEVELAND’ BAKING POWDER.
