Private intelligence here from Chi
cago is to the effect that the congress
sional appropriation to the fair there
has by no means settled the long stand
ing difference between the national and
the local board Of directors, and that
apparently that difference has been
greatly increased thereby, to the great
detriment of the fair, rs with two cap

Congressman Meredith of the Alex
andria district made speech at Aldie,
Loudoun county, Virginia, last Thurs
day. People from that county here to-
day say the third party members are
few and far between there, and that II
Mr.. Turner shallnot receive more votes
in the other counties of the district than
in that one, it wont take long to count
them after the polls close on election
day. Dir. j. +. Clements of Alexandria
county says he doesn't believe Mr.. Tur-
ner will receive half dozen votes
there, and that as the republicans there
know that republican candidate can
not be elected in tho district, most OF
them will vote for Mr.. Meredith, as he
is vigorously pushing in Congress some
local bills in the success of which all
the people of that county are interested.
Democrats from Prince Georges
county, Md, here to-day, say that not
witbstanding Mr. Compton's repeated
written and oral statements to the effect
that he will not accept q denomination
for Congress in his district, the conven-
ton, which meets next Wednesday,
will renominate him, and that he will
be compelled to accept the nomination
for the good of the party.
The livery men here are delighted at
the failure of each and all the different
plans for railroad connection between
this city and Arlington to affect such
connection before the meeting Of the G..
A. r. here next month. They are in
creasing stock and expect to reap a rich
harvest.
Real estate men here say sure indi-
cation of the improved condition of az
fairs in Alexandria county is afforded
by the fat that money can now DC
raised in New York and other cities OF
the North on unincumbered real estate
in that county, which has heretofore
been impossible.
1t is reported here that in conse
quence of an immense contribution tt

by Mr.. Carnegie, cheaper and inferior
