Cars were run yesterday in larger NUMBERS
and with increasing regularity on all the prin-
cipal lines in this city, except those in Second
Eighth and Ninth ayes. and the Belt Line.
The strikers and the crowds that sympathlze
with them maintained fairly good order ana
while the police were vigilant everywhere there
was little need for display OF force. Inc
signs generally indicate that the strikers have
been beaten. Certainly the companies will e1-
perience no difficulty in filing their places or
in doing full business again as soon as the
danger CT violence is at an end -Four cars
were run in Atlantic-ave., Brooklyn, and it
is promised that larger number will be in
operation to-day The threats of general
tie-up in that city proved to be idle talk. Such
strike would be purely sympathetic, and
sympathetic strike never arouses any sym
patty in the public mind. Moreover, a strike
ON the part of the employees of the Brooklyn
City Railroad Company would show the worst
of bad faith, since these men have just
signed a new agreement with their employers
for the year. The strikes seem likely to prove
failure all arounds but the lesson will be
costly one to the poor strikers, who merely
obeyed the orders of the tyrannical Executive

II Is practically certain that General Har-
rison's official family viii consist of eight MEM
bers. The bill creating the Office OF Secretary
of Agriculture has been for long time In the
custody of a conference committee, the House
insisting that the Weather Bureau should be
transferred to the new Department. This
position has been finally receded from, the con-
ference committee having rejected the amend
ments to the bill as IT came from the Senate,
and yesterday the House adopted the measure
without a division. No doubt is entertained
that President Cleveland will approve it, and,
Of course he Will have the honor of first filing
the new Office.
No more striking setting forth Of the fnan-
cial folly of the present treatment Of the con-
yicts in our State prisons could be made than
that contained in Superintendent Lathrops
report on the State-account system. The State
now owns $400760 worth of machinery, and
the profits Of the labor Of the convicts under
that system amounted to $33, 900 month. For
elk months past the convicts have virtually
done no work, and the prisoners have earned
$500! Apart from the blighting effects Of
idIeness on the prisoners, what do the tax
payers of tho State think Of this showing2
The one thing that has made the street-car
strike tolerable has been the elevated roads.
II is the fashion to find fault with these means
of travel and not without reason; but New
Workers have had abundant cause this week to
bless the elevated roads, and to rejoice that
they cover the island so thoroughly that no part
OF the city has been inaccessible The number
Of passengers carried on the elevated system
On Thursday was 6f6, 5o1-the biggest days
work in the history Of the roads. In this
emergency they have served the public adj

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINETIETH year of its ex-
istence, and is not only the oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness Of
its years, it has kept, and will con.
tinue to keep, abreast of the times
in all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan.
tage of and used for the benefit Of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
financially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat
tiers concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With view to the interest Of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

Of assault upon Osburn with intent "a

bound over.
A report from Neigh on tho 26th ult.,
states that Ira Reno Of Oakdale had
been arrested on Q chargeof assault with
intent to KILL made some time ago, upon
George Osborn.
Frank Hedges was found on the morn.
ing Of the ID in his brothers granary
near Plattsmouth, with bullet hole in

foully treated.
A sensational tragedy occurred al
Auburn on the evening Of the 18th ult.,
by the shooting and killing Of James NJ
Williams by Ben Slkilman. The cause
alleged for the commission Of this mur.

attentions paid by Williams to the sis

ruin OF the peace Of her mind and char.

never have happened had Williams obey.
