Smoke-Stack and Spark -Arrester.

The improved smoke-stack and spark
arrester invented by Mr. L. G. Maybe, an
engineer of this city. employed on the
James River division of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway. Is now being successfully
operated on one of the trains of that road
and is found TO more than fulfil the ex-
pectations of the inventor.
IL is said to consume one third less coal
and to do considerably more work than
the old-time device. besides preventing
the oppressive smoke which usually issues
from the engine from escaping and blow
ing in the faces of passengers IN the rear
coaches.
Several leading gentlemen OF this city
will take charge of the invention and
organize a stock company with il.

ICorrespondence Of the Richmond Dspstch.l
ALEXANDRIA. July q. 1890.
For the first time in the history OF Old
Alexandria the town was totally dry
yesterday, and il is safe to say that OF the
sixteen or eighteen bar-rooms and restau-
rants here not one of them had their back
doors open Yesterday. As usual, crowds OF
Washingtonians came down to get some
thing to drink, as all the bars in Washing
ton are closed. and they were very much
disappointed when they found they would
have to join the procession and march out
side of the city limits into Fairfax county.
about a mile from town. to brewery,
where the only medicine" To be had was
"lager-beer." 'Tis said that the brewery
was worked to its full capacity. but 1t
could not make beer enough to supply the
thirsty crowd of Washington people.
AoUIEr DAY.
II is said that those liquor-dealers who
have their licenses suspended from the 18TH
of next month will not close their doors,
but will keep open for their patrons. giving
the drinks away instead OF selling them,
and thus getting around their sentences:
Such quiet day as yesterday has hardly
ever been known before in this old town.
DIEJ OF TyPHoID-FEvER.
Mr.. Julian Moore. one of Alexandria's
most popular and enterprising. young citi-

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.
Indicted for neutrality-suspicious. and
the Post-Onice--PersonaI sc.

The July term Of the Hastings Court
began yesterday morning. While this IS q
regular grand-iury term there are very few
important cases 10 be tried.
The grand jury brought in true bill
against John A. Burke for shooting a little
negro boy named Baugh while in the act
of stealing bananas from his store on
upper Hull street several months ago. The
ease was set for trial to-day. Judge James
NJ. Gregory will appear as counsel for Dir.
Burke.
THE Posr-oFPICE.
The Republican meeting to be held to-
night Mt Loean's Hall to take action with
reference to the appointment of Repu6;;
lican successor to Postmaster Jordan VIII
not amount TO much. Mr.. Jordan was ap-
pointed in May. 1885, when the Manches-
ter Office was in the fourth class. but did
not enter upon the discharge of his duties
until the lst Of July OF that year. There
being no specific term Of q thlrd-class
postmaster he was liable TO removal at
any time. but on the 18th day of Janu-
ary, 1853. the post-ofIice having been raised
to n third-class Office. MIR. Jordan was ap-
pointed postmaster for four years. the
usual term. He has, therefore, until the
10th day of January, 1892, before hls term
expires. and there seems no disposition 10
disturb him until then.

NICHMUND VA, uufJ w fV'Vs ]
To he Edpor Of the Dspdtch:
Jsee in to-day's Dispatch communica-
t;on in regard TO the almost total destruc-
tio of arbor- Vita trees in Hollywood. They
are nearly all dead in Oakwood cemetery,
and ali around about Richmond. The cause
Is simple to any arborist. The sap rises
ouicker from the first appearance Of warm
weather in the arbor-vitse than any other
evergreen. and the mild, springlike wea-
ther we had in February caused the sap to
start. and | noticed that the arbor-vite
had all put forth new shoots IN that month; a;
the trees wherever exposed to the cold
blast The dry weather this summer CON-
pleted the work of the frost.
Respectfully.
