ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS.


DIR. Jones, health officer of this city, met
those of the health board elected by the city
council for permanent organization last night.
1t is understood that the Washington Ohio
and Western Railway company are seeking a
new route of entrance into the city to reach
their present depot, The new route will do
away with all the bridges between the depot
and present junction of the Washington and
Alexandria railway Tho company are re-
newing and building new bridges for their
road as rapidly as possible. On Monday they
shipped out on their 'ad new bridge for
Sycolin run. The span is 10 feet,

ground The catastrophe Is absolutely com
plete, and il seems impossible to restore
Casamicciola. There Is not q single house
standing there except little church, which
has been unroofed, near the harbor, and three
cottages In which il is impossible to obtain
shelter. The whole presents an indescribablo
spectacle, the details of which are heartrend-
ing.
At Lacco Ameno the state Of affairs seems
to be- if anything, worse than at Casamicciola.
Not single building can be traced out of tho
mass of timber and stones which now marks
where the prosperous village once stood.
Tho inhabitants living in this spot wero
1888, but of all this number only FIVE arc
known to have escaped destruction. The
wreck is complete. Some of the houses have
disappeared bodily, falling presumably into
tho assures when the earth opened. At
Fario the damage Is not so extensive, but IL is
still very great.
The earthquake appears to have run across
the island from west to east, and, besides the
towns 1 have enumerated, all the adjacent
villages and hamlets have more or less suf-
fered. The first and most fatal shock was
accompanied by a noise resembling loud
thunder. The succeeding shocks were less
clearly marked, but they served to extend
the devastation and complete the fearful
panic that set in throughout the greater part
of tho island. The previous weather had
been splendid, but violent storm set in the
day following the disasters, and this accom-
panied by almost total darkness, added
greatly to the horror Of the scene, and rem
dered transit from the island to the main
land very difficult. 1t is pointed out as sig
niicant that Vesuvius had been unusually
active just before the shock.
The socalled earthquake Of 1881, in which
over 300 people pershed and most of the
smaller buildings in Casanicciola were
destroyed was in reality sudden collapse of
tho soil. The present catastrophe is also
ascribed TO an earth tremor, but Prof. Pal
mieri, the director of the Vesuvian observa-
tory, denies that this has been the case, and
attributes the calamity, as he did the exactly
similar one of 1881, to q depression of the
fragile crust, undermined by the springs. If
this statement should be confirmed the future
Of Ischia is hopeless. No one will dare to
build, and visitors will keep clear Of spot
where at any moment the firm land may sink
beneath their feet This is dismal fate.

Restraiuing Order Against the Chief
OF Police.

Oh EOIlCes
THE PROPRIETOR OF THE TREASURY FRUIT STAND
RESISTING REMOVAL.
To-day Judge James, in the Equity Court, made
a temporary restraining order in the case of
Francis Sachi agt W. NICE. Dye, major and SUPER
intendent of metropolitan police, to prevent the
latter from causing the removal of his fruit stand
situated 10Th street. near the southeast entrance
to the Treasury building, &c. Mr. W. Pierce Bell ap-
peared for the complainant, and tue bill sets forth
that the petitioner is fruit vender and had a
permit from the Secretary OF the Treasury to place
his stand on the grounds OF the Treasury near the
southeast entrance to the building; that under
this permission he put his stand on the ground
and stocked 1t with fruit, &C.: that he had fairly
commenced business when the chief Of police sent
him letter notifying him to remove the stand
within ten days The complainant states that he
has not complied with this order, and on informa-
ton and belief he charges that the chief OF police
Will cause the stand to be removed unless he be
restrained, and being informed that a warrant
had been issued for his arrest OnJune 10Th last, he
with his counsel appeared before Judge Smell
and he was fined SIS, from which Judgment an
appeal was taken to the Criminal Court, and 1t is
now ready for trial. He states that he is advised
as matter OF law that the ordinance referred to
court (the Supreme Court OF the Districp
has been made respecting the rights OF
merchants under the law to occupy and use por-
opinion from the court is desirable. He states that
pending this appeal another warrant has been is
sued for his arrest and Is ready to be served, and
Is informed that others are to follow from time to
will efrectually settle and determine his rights
and those Of others. He therefore prays that de-
fendant and others may be restrained from inter-
fering with his business at said stand or serving
his appeal is determined. The rule is returnable
on the Goth.
