The meeting of the First Subdivision As
sociated Charities, which took place at the
Aged Women's Home yesterday afternoon,
was more fully attended than any previ-
ously held, there being, in addition to tho
large number of members, many interested
visitors present. In the absence of the
president, +. L. Moore, esq, presided over
the meeting. Reports from the managers
of the several districts showed that num-
Der Of needy cases had received proper
relief, and $10950 was reported as the
amount received since last report from new
membcrs. Lists were received from the
churches Of the town of those who were in
the habit of receiving regular aid from
them.
A good many persons having formed an
erroneous idea that some portion of the
funds raised in this place was expended
elsewhere, the chairman stated that such
was not the fact, but that every dollar of
the contributions to this subdivision would
be expended within its jurisdiction. After
the election Of Mrs. E. M. l.. Boucher to Gil
the vacancy in the fifth district, caused by
the resignation of Mrs X. p. Than, and
the transaction of minor routine business,
the association adjourned to meet at the
same place on Tuesday, the 21st instant.
Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four
o'clock, a horse driven to buggy by Miss
Mamie Hurley, accompanied by Mrs. George
Walker, ran away on o street, and when Mt
the corner of that street and Potomac ave
nue., ran into a tree'box, completely demol-
ishing the buggy and throwing the ladies
out with great violence, but, strange to say
they escaped with only a few bruises, and
were not enough injured to prevent them
from having the horse, as soon as he was
caught, harnessed to another vehicle, in
which they finished their drive.
Great disappointment is felt and con
siderable dissatisfaction expressed by our
merchants, the citizens of Fairfax County,
and all interested in the free bridge over
| the Potomac at the failure of Col. Albert
and the Corrugated Metal Company of East
| Berlin, Conn.,, who were the lowest bidders,
| to come to fiual agreement as to the build
ing of the bridge. The necessity for this con
nection with the Virginia side is growing
| greater every day, and having full ex-
| perience of the difficulty of getting any
legislation from Congress on the su bect
| great fears are felt that the long-needed
improvement may be delayed for an in
| definite period, if it should not entirely
fall through. Many experienced aud
practical gentlemen who examined the
| plans submitted by this company for the
proposed bridge, were highly pleased
with the details of the same, and
were of the opinion that such bridge
would furnish every required essential
and had the plan been accepted and the
bridge built, there could not have been
much more delay than will now occur, even
mad the bridge been condemned by the
practical experts to whom the company
offered to leave the question of its suitable
ness in every particular. In case of fail
ure to approve it the company were willing
to lose their material and labor.
