BUILDING IN ALEXANDRIA.

The steady increase in building in
Alexandria, as has from time TO time
been commented on in the GAZETTE, is
remarkable, when compared with the
lcthargy exhibited but few years ago
Now people build houses here and in
Washington and other places to sell
and speculate on. What has been pre-
dictcd even by some enthusiasts is being
fulfilled, in many cases beyond the
most sanguine expectations. IT'S true,
most of the houses are of moderate di-
mansions, but they are stylish and fit
ted with modern conveniences, are at
tractive and in many cases have been
erected by people who own and occu-
py them-all OF which are the best in
dications of the industry and thrift of Il
community. One hundred and sixty
five thousand dollars were expended
this year in the erection of new houses.
and during the coming year the pros
poets for q large increase over this
amount are good. The additions to the
Portner Brewery alone will cost in the
neighborhood of $50, 900, and numbers
of what are vacant lots will by this time
in the year Of 1S93be fitted with com
Portable and in many cases costly build
ings. The suburbs of Alexandria are
by no means what they were last year.
What were then barren squares with
rail fences in the north, northeast and
northwest are dotted here and there
with coy residences, and it is safe to
predict that the coming wear will Wit
ness changes upon the face not only of
those localities but of every other sec
ton of the city. That houses Will
eventually be built upon both sides OF
the electric railway track to the
banks of Hunting creek is no
wild prophecy when facts are consider
ed. Lots, compared with those in 9TH
er localities, are cheap in that section
and are sure to attract builders, and if
other. localities far less inviting few
wears ago are now compactly built up,
certainly 4 section enjoying street car
facilities will assert itself soon. The in
ducements set forth to people from 9th
err places to take up their abode here
have caused many to avail themselves
of them. and to-day more strangers are
to be seen in Alexandria than at any
time since the influx incident to war
times. The building of an electric rail
way from this city to Washington so
often talked about is sure TO crystal
ize into fact; it is demand Of the
times, and when that shall have been
accomplished (and who can say how
long it will be deferred?) Alexandria
will take squirt which viii be marvel
Gus to the enthusiastic as well as to the
conservative. The Auditor this year
issued 127 permits for the erection of
buildings, and with the steady increase
of our population this number is bound
to be greatly exceeded during next
year. We all feel that our old city has
taken on new life, and we are ove1oy-
ed to see it. We lave waited long and
patiently for the turn in the tide, been
held in derision by those of other places
and humbugged and deceived by those
who made stupencous promises and
fulfilled none. But the tide has turned;
we can mark its influx; we can see it
gradually covering this and that PLACE
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1892-12-31

The above is also true Of The trade
in dry goods, carpets, notions, clothing,
boots. shoes. &c. The increasing popu-
l:ition q; the city necessarily increases
the s;il, oftbcsc articles, and then, too,
the merchants have for their Customers
The people ofthe contiguous counties
VINO naturally come to Aicxandrla TO
make such purchases.
Few gears in the history OF the city
have seen The mechanics and iaborers
kent - constantly at work and such
men lad littlc OF 20 trouble III securing
employment.
Tn manufacturers of the city have
also done we'll during the year and
many Of thom l.ave enlarged their es-
Northumberland increased their .acili-
ties. This Is true Of the brewery, the
tannery, The cigar manufactures, the
cracker, cake and candy manutactory
the bakery. the soap-etaae mill, the
foundries. the mechine SHOPS, &c, &c.
Another evidence OF the prosperous
growth OF the city is the increasing bus
mess OF the banks. These institutions
are all OH a solid basis, are conducted
on strictly business principles and III
a manner to inspire confidence among
their depositols and reflect credit OH
the city.
The constantly increasing railroad
traffic both freight and passenger anG
the rivalry between the competing lines
for the city's trade show the grow
ing Importance o. the city and how ii
is regarded by the railroad companies
The city needs and should have better
railroad passenger depots. for Their
buildings now used for such purpose
here are inferior to those in villages o
hundred inhabitants.
The advantages of Alexandria have
frequently been alluded TO and they are
attracting general attention. We ar'
at the terminus virtually Of five trunl
lines ofrailroads with water communl
cation to all parts of the country; are
near to the national capital, where
everybody comes machinery and cap
ital OF manufacturing enterprises ar
exempt from taxation; improved prop

is abundant here. Alexandria is il
every way attractive as a place OF resi-
dence. 1t is the best paved city in Vir
gina: the health of the place is mos
excellent; churches are numerous ant
the schools, both public and private
are excellent. Our water is celebrated
for its purity. Houses can be purchase
Tor less than the price asked for vacan
ground in the suburbs OF many NOR
pretentious places where none of th'
advantages OF appointments of Cit!
are yet to be found. We have upward
of thirty local trains Il day, furnishing
quicI, and comfortable communication
with the capital, and at low fare, willis
the ferry boats run between the cit
and Washington with the regularity c

SUDDEN observation-disclosures
Nelson, Mayor of Cape Charles City,

of the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad. is missing, and the
supposition is that he has absconded
with somewhere in the neighborhood
of $1,000. Mr.. Nelson has acted very
queerly for the past two or three
months, spending money with lavish
hand. He was administrator for the
estate of the late Mrs. McFadden, who
was murdered there little oyer a year
ago by George Drier, q German, and
who is now in Eastville Jail awaiting
trial. He was holding the funds col
lected by ladies at church fairs for the
erection of the Episcopal Church at
that place, amounting to about 81 800,
and several other large bills. The peo-
pie of the city were aroused by the sud
den disappearance of his wife. Hiss

have been unable to live peaceably
with him. She left Cape Charles City
week before last for her fathers home,
in Philadelphia, where she was mar
ried 10 Nelson little oyer two years

in Philadelphia, and claims to know
nothing Of her husbands whereabouts.

1 THouasIFaH4 the Il Panama scandal has not
vet been half developed; IT. already y
shows that at least two and half mill
lion dollars of the money of which the
French people were robbed were ex-
pended in creating feeling in this
country in favor of the Panama canal.
The French government is prosecuting
its subjects who were engaged in the
swindle. 1t is hoped the investigation
now in progress will disclose the iden-
tity of the prominent American bank
ers, public men and newspapers said
to .hs implicated. There need be no
fear that any of them will commit sui
eide if exposed They are not that
