Impure water, in the medical sense

never contains these; nor does any

to them, though it may greatly facili-

GRAND ARMY AND GOOD ORDER.
Preparations are now being made" says
the major, concluding his report, '.for the en-
tertainment in this city of the Grand Army OF
the Republic in the ensuing year. It is ss-
sumed that great numbers of veterans of the
war OF the rebellion will then gather here and
that an increase of the police force will be
requisite to afford protection against evil char
acters who on. all such occasions present them
selves to prey upon the unwary. II the appli-
cation for forty-two additional men should be
granted, however, it is confidently believed
that this department will be able to defend
from depredstions the guests of the national
capital without the necessity Of an appropria-
ton for the temporary employment Of special
privates."

The boom has had another set back. The
city council was called together by the mayor
on Saturday night, and while the market PEG.

above proposal Of the Deis- Besmann Kurtz
Company of Canal Dover, Ohio. The cloud which
mistaken telegram had, for q moment, cast on
the proposals, had been removed by kilograms
from all the bank presidents, &C., of the Cana
Dover neighborhood, and the fact that the
company WAS an extensive one and ordinarily
employs over seventy hands was established.
They offered, too, if council would give them
the mill &c, to contract to employ fifty skilled
mechanics in Alexandria for ten years. instead

posal was accepted in the lower board

lost, as 1t was new one, and required under
the charter twelve votes to pass it on the night
OF its introduction. An appeal was taken by
MIR. Fisher and the decision of the chair
was overruled When the matter went to the
aldermen the proposal was laid on the table,

About 1890 Saturday night fire broke ont in
| the brick building Of the Potomac Stone Com
pany, on Water street, and in short time it
looked as if there would be q serious confa-
grafton. No. engine was quickly on the
| scene. but the firemen fearing they would be
unable TO subdue the flames alone turned in n
general alarm. BY the time the east end
engines arrived. however, the flames had been
confined to one place and were soon afterward
put out. Considerable difficulty was expert
| enced in getting the companys horses and
mules from the stable adjoining the boiler
| room. After they were brought out they were
| sent to the stables Of Mr.. W. +. Mcfarland, on
32d street, where they remained until yester-
day. On Saturday night the damage was es-
an inspection. it was pronounced considerably
less. 1t is supposed that the fire tarted in the
boiler room. Insurance covered the loss.

ton of this body a great deal of suffering
among the poorer classes has been prevented
by the prompt relief actions which have always
been taken.
