A New Fence Spoiled.

Yesterday Mr.. Francis U. Stitt completed the
erection of an iron fence about the parking in
front of his residence, 925 S street. This morn
ing when Mr.. Stitt looked out of the window he
was astounded to see that some one had bent and
twisted the iron points that adorned the top of
the fence. Mr.. Suit cannot account for this
outrage. He is not aware that he has an enemy
He has notified the police and has offered re-
ward for the detection of the perpetrator of

ALEXANDRIA,.
PROJECTED CITY IMPROVEMENT.

PROJECTED CITY IMPROVEMENT.
The projects for the improvement Of streets
seem to have taken the places of the projects
for the improvement of trade with which
Alexandria local leaders formerly engaged them
selves. Alexandria invested more than
half million of dollars in canals and rail-
WAYS, and while, on the one hand. the advan-
tage derived from the expenditure is very
little compared with the great expectations
which were entertained when the
investments were made, on the other hand.
Alexandria has been by good fortune rid of
most OF the debt accumulated for these invest
ments. The state of Virginia took off three
ffths OF the large sum which. had been sub
scribed to the Alexandria canal. The Midland
or o. and A. stock was sold al discount. but in
way which enabled the city to build new market
house, which is proving quite profitable to the
sinking fund. The gas work investment proved
a bonanza, and while the compromise readjust-
ment made some fifteen years ago has not low
cred the face OF the debt it has diminished the
interest, for the present, by one-half, so that
the town is not now paying interest
on more than one-ffth of its original
investment for trade-bringing improvements
The outlook of prosperity now is largely in the
direction of accession of population from WASH
ington, and many believe that improved streets
would have the effect of attracting population
from Washington to Alexandria. Others say
that people would not come from Washington
to this place in any degree because of smooth
streets, but because living is cheaper,
and small income will give more
comfort here than in Washington.
and they say that any effort Of
Alexandria to initiate Washington in the matter
of streets would be only a new example of the
frog that swelled to initiate the PROPORTIONS of
the OK and burst. The fact Is - no
place of residence in the world q" citizen
doing business in Washington VII leone is
less than 81 600 per annum ma. comforts
and conveniences within range of his income as
Alexandria.
NO CHANGE IN DOCTORS FEES.
There is not the slightest probability of any
change in the rate Of 81 per do pr's visit,
which has been the customary rate "a medical
service here for many years, SO that one of the
advantages Of Alexandria to persons of moder-
ate incomes will continue to be that when they
get sick they can be cured at half the rates
charged in Washington. The Medical Society
here determined last night that no change in
the customary charges is expedient and none
will be made.
The United States supply steamer which has
been anchored off this harbor sailed yester-
day.
The Alexandria democratic delegation to the
Richmond convention had pleasant trip and
was entirely successful in everything which it
went to Richmond to accomplish.
Washington street contractors are now inter-
ested in Alexandria and plans for the improve
ment Of Washington and Franklin streets are
discussed.
Fishtown is fading, but its perfume still
fingers.
The Hydraulion Fire Company met last night
