REPAIRS TO THE TOWN CLOCK.

REPAIRS TO THE TOWN CLOCK.
The town clock steeple on the market house
is the head center OF Alexandria. II tells the
time, gives the people information as to how
the wind blows and rings out the general alarm
in time of serious fire. The steeple has of late
been derelict and untruthful and has kept its
pointer steadily to the mark west. from what
ever point the wind might come. Finding how
vain this sort Of thing was the market commits
sion has taken of the weather cock, and while
the steeple is being painted will replace the
vane in such way that it will turn and let Alex
andrians know which way the wind blows.
THE CHRISTMAS OUTLOOK.
The Christmas holidays for the children
begin here tomorrow afternoon, when the
public schools close and internit their sessions
until Monday. the 4th Of January. OF course
the observance Of Christmas will be universal
here and no business except such as concerns
the mails, health or the enjoyment of the day
will be carried on. The church services,
solemn high mass at the Catholic Church and
early prayer meetings at some Of the Methodist
churches will begin before daylight, with serv-
ices at the Protestant Episcopal and German
Lutheran churches later in the day. As yet
there has been little evidence of the advent Of
Christmas here except in the store windowc.

SALE OF ABANDONED PROPERTY.
A Motley Collection OF Articles Disposed o.
at Auction This Morning.

A Motley Collection OF Articles Dispoeed OF
at Auction This Morning.
There was an auction sale this morning in
this city Of most curious collection Of articles.
As time goes by the police department gathers
together, in one way and another. . lot OF
property that must be disposed Of in some way.
A considerable amount is con6scated from
prisoners upon their arrest with the under
standing that it is stolen property. and a. such
it is not returned when the prisoners 60 free.
When no owner is found FOR the property IL IL
kept by the police. A good deal lie aceumu-
lated in the way Of found and abandoned arti-
cles that never get back to their rightful owners
All this stuff is kept together by the property
clerk and once year is disposed of by auction.
This was the sale that took place at Ratcliffe 4
Darr's auction room this morning.
There were upward Of 225 articles catAlogued
for sale and they made about as miscellaneous
q collectiona s one could well imagine. Christ
mas shoppers could not get much in their line,
but there was quite a large audience Of inter
ested buyers just the same. All the goods
were sold without reserve with the exception
Of the firearms that had fallen into the pos
session OF the police during the past year. The
custom OF selling of these weapons has been
discontinued In this city, as in most of the other
largo citie4 and it is probable that they will be
broken up and sold for old iron. In the list Of
the articles that were sold could be found q
varied assortment, running all the way from q
bottle OF wine to pair Of secondhand corsets.
There were handkerchiefs and razors, milk
cans and bottled beer, a gold watch and lot of
lead pipe, as well umbrellas and overcoats
IN abundance, that showed that the hall thief
had been quite enterprising during the past
year. The articles. q rule, brought very
fair prices. The proceeds Of the sale are TO be
turned over to the police fund

THE GAS IN GEORGETOWN.
President Leetch of the Gas Company Make
IN Explanation to the Commandment.

President Leetch of the Gas Company Makes
an Explanation to the Commissioner
President John Leetch Of the Georgetown
Gas Light Company has written letter to the
Commissioners in explanation of the report of
Lieut. Hollinberger, printed recently in The
STAR. concerning the lighting OF the lamps in
Georgetown. 1t will be remembered that two
Of Lieut. Hollinberger's officers found upon
investigation that the gas was not turned on
full and that Philip Brown, one Of the gas
lighters, stated that the reason of it was due to
orders from Mr.. Leetch.
In his letter to the Commissioners today con-
corning the matter Mr.. Leetch says: The
standing rule of this company and one which
must be complied with is, where lamps are
blowing, or where the fame is entirely too
large the lamp lighters are instructed not TO
turn on the lamp cock in full. this TO prevent
loss OF gas with no benefit to the District gov
ernment. My attention was called to the large
number of lamps where gas being wasted,
and as was remarked by one Of our citizens, who
has had years of experience superintendent
OF lamp lighting, were burning from eight to
ten cubic feet per hour. On or about the 18th
instant called the attention of our lamp light
ers to this waste of gas and to the rule which
requires them TO regulate this by the lamp
cock. suppose it was from lack Of judg
ment or misunderstanding of the order Philip
Brown and his son turned quite a number Of
the burners too low
Concluding, he says: "Never under any cir
cumstances has an order been given by any one
from this Office to any or all OF the lamp light
ers even to turn down any lamp or lamps where
the flame would be less than full six cubic
feet to the hour"

Died From the Effects Of Gas.

Died From the Effects Of Gas.
Mr.. William Hurley, plumber who resided
at No. 81S LIST street northwest, died about 8
o'clock yesterday morning under peculiarly
sad circumstances. Three weeks age he was
married and he and his wife have since boarded
at. the number stated. Friday evening Mr..
Hurley complained of feeling unwell and he
concluded that he would remain home Satur-
day and take some medicine. During the night
he was sick and it is supposed that either his
wife or himself went in the adjoining room and
heated some water on the gas stove.
The gas was left turned on and the door con-
Meeting the rooms was also left open, as was
the transom. Both Mr.. Hurley and his wife
became so deeply under the influence of the
gas that they were unable to get up or give
an alarm.
They remained in that conditio, until about
o'clock Saturday afternoon. when they were
discovered by persons in the house, who were
attracted TO their room by the smell Of gas
They were almost dead, and Drs s. s. Bond
Herbert and Kolipinski were summoned.
Mr.. Hurley was SO far gone that the doctors
were unable to save his life, though they re-
manned at his bedside and we're SO faithful in
their attentions that they prolonged his life
until about o'clock Yesterday morning, when
he died. Mrs. Hurley has almost fully recov-
cred.
The deceased was thirty-one years old and
was well and favorably known to his numerous
friends.

A Plea: for Georgetown.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Washington ID rapidly becoming the pride of
our nation, and justly 50, and We hope soon to
see it leading tie list Of beautiful cities in the
world. Its streets are being extended and
besutifed in every direction; squares, circles
and other spaces are being reserved for special
ornamcntation in all parts Of the city and mon
uments are being erected to the memory of our
great men. All are interested and appreciate
every onward step TO q more complete method
Of carrying out plans for lasting beauty and
improvements; and while We are looking to the
future Of our nations capital it should not be
forgotten that Georgetown Is = very import
ant. yet sadly neglected, Lart Of the growing
city.
II is we'll known tina. this city is far advanced
in age, and has bravely borne its part in past
history and has given homes to prominent men
Of our country called TO the nations capital
When what isnow the great city of Warrington
had no homes to offer this was and Is still the
home Of many Of the descendants of those
whose memories are being COMMUNICATED and
whose names will be handsd down to future
generations.
While 30 mach is being done in Washington
city proper let not Georgetown be neglected,
for aside from our historical claim We are now
part q the one CREST city.
May Congress be liberal In appropriations for
identifying this ancient and historical point
May We have some Of the open spaces to be
beautiaed so that they may be enjoyed by the
residepte. and made attractive q the many
lS8sltors Warrington is to welcome In the near
future.
Ia petition is needed to b ssnt TO Congress,
let II be ons that shalt show We are wide awake,
enterprising and worthy Al that Congress can
do for "a. We hope, however, the Commis-
soners win petition Tor NJ and win fully realize
the Importance Of improvementsin this ancient
