Yesterday evening tho United States
Commissioner of Agriculture, the Hon. a.
u. Ioring, attended by large number OF
gentlemen, came to Alexandria ON the
ferIy.boat Mystic. Commissioner Loring
was conveyed to Sarepta Hall. where he
addressed the Virginia State Grange, in
session here, and large number Of other
citizens. DIR. James M. Blanton, Master Of
the Grange, also delivered an oration.
After the meeting adjourned at Sarepta
Hail. the members of the State Grange and
invited guests were given grand banquet
at Green's Mansion House, by tho members
of the Northern District Grange. Friday
was tho last day for the Grange to sit, and
most of the members returned home on tho
carly morning trains
Telegraph Operator Transferred.
Mr.. James Duncan, telegraph operator at
the Baltimore & Potomac depot, in this
city, received transfer yesterday to the
depot in Washington. Mr.. Duncan, since
becoming an operator, has managed several
Offices for the railroad company, and by his
proficiency and close attention to business
has been promoted to more important posi-
tions on several occasions. His last posi-
ton is very important one but he will
doubtless fill it with tho same exactness
that has heretofore marked him. HIS
many friends in Alexandria will be glad to
learn of his success. Mr.. II. w. Williams
is appointed to take charge Of the Alex
andria office.
Capt. Robert Travis is having fine seine
boat built in Fishtown for use down the
Potomac as soon as the fishing season com
mences. This spring is expected to be an
uncommonly good one for fishing, and
more active preparations are being made
by fishermen than for years past.
Accidents and incidents.
There were two men in the station-house
this morning. Edmond Lipcomb, colored
man of herculean proportions, was taken in
last night by Officer Patrick Hays. The
| culprit was guilty of riotous and disorderly
conduct and ungallantly assaulting a
female The other boarder was tramp,
who had spent several nights before in the
| station-house.
| A well-known citizen of Alexandria came
near being drowned ON Thursday. He was
walking over the wharves and without
noticing where he was suddenly fell over
board The splash in the water and his
cries for help were heard, and Mr.. Richard
Wood, who fortunately was near by, ran tt
his assistance, and after much exertior
succeeded in getting him on the wharf.
A resolution was passed at the specia
session of the city council, allowing tn
commissioners of the sinking fund to Dor
row $9,O624O to buy bonds of the city o
Alexandria held by ]. T. Ryan, of Phila
delphia. Ryan refused to fund the bond
three years ago when the funding bill wa
nassed bv the city

District Government Notes.

Additional complaints of bad crossings
on Capitol Hill have been received by the
Commissioners.
The complaints of excessive gas bills
come from far and near, the last being
request from the auditor of District ex-
penses to the Commissioners that an inves-
tigation be made of the excessive charges
of the Washington Gaslight Company for
illuminating the Force and Franklin build
ings during December and January.
Mr. A. G. Riddles opinion in regard to
the insurance on the Jefferson School build
ing, alluded to yesterday, being of interest
TO all our insurance companies, is given in
full, as follows Each company is to pay
the same proportion of the ascertained loss
which the amount of its policy bears to the
sum of all the policies on the property.
The loss being less than that sum, the
companies here which paid, under the mis-
take that the loss was in excess Of the sum
of the policies, should have the sum of
their policies refunded. Their payments
were made in ignorance of a matter of fact,
and henco their right to recover back all
over their just proportion"
"A fraud of large proportions by which
the District revenue has been the loser, has
Just been discovered. According to the
license law the commercial agents are ex-
empt from the tax Of 5000 per year for
licenses If they make aftidayit that the
goods which they sell are of their own man
ufacture. A large number of men are em-
ployed here in this way without obtaining
licenses and recently suspicious have been
aroused that some of these men were SELL
| ing goods manufactured in Baltimore
| Philadelphia and New York, and evad-
| ing the payment of license by stating that
| they manufactured their own goods and were
not agents for other parties. Henry Rah
| the special license agent, in order to ascer
tain the truth of these suspicious, has been
absent from the city eight days, during
which time lie has visited Baltimore,
| Philadelphia and New York, and ascer-
tanned what manufacturing firms had rep
resentatives in this city. During thil
| visit Mr.. Raff ascertained that twenty-five
persons representing Themselves as manu-
iacturcrs were imposters. Among
the forms of fraud practiced wer
forging the names of manufacturers
and swearing TO the existence of SOM
manufacturing company which proves d
y be myth, or the agents representing
themselves as junior partners in firms
The twenty-five cases found by Mr.. Rat
in eight days search would alone have de
priyed the District of $4,400 per annum
1t is probable that this fraud is much NOR
| extensive.
