Adjourned without an Agreement.

The Maryland and Virginia joint commission
appointed to determine the concurrent rights
Of the two states in the waters of the Potomac
and Pocomoke rivers adjourned finally yester-
day afternoonwithout coming to any conclusion
regarding the propositions in question other
than that it would be impossible for the two
committees to agree. But one proposition was
discussed. the defining of lines along both banks
OF the Potomac river to limit the concurrent
rights Of the two states and on this there was
such divergence of opinion that to reach a
conclusion was found to be impossible.
The committee met at the Metropolitan Hotel
and was called to order by Lieutenant Governor
Tyler of Virginia
While on the muchdisputed questions con-
corning the boundaries of the states along the
Potomac and Pocomoke rivers no conclusion
WAS reached. the members of the commission
believe that the conference makes the matter
easier to settle at some future date while the
one matter accomplished, the agreement or a
cuiing law for the Potomac, will result bene-
ficially to both states.

The residence of J. Z. McCube, No % Sd
street northeast, was entered Wednesday after
noon at ESQ o'clock by burglars during the
absence of the family and completely ransacked
from cellar to garnet. The boldness Of the
thieves disarmed the neighbors who saw them
(three white mem, as they stood for some time
at the front gate. One Of their number walked
to the front door and rang the bell violently
three times. Being satisfied that no member of
the family was within he took an instrument
from his pocket and burst loose the fastening
from the front parlor window and entered. The
other two men remained at the gate until an
entrance had been effected by their pal, when
they walked to the front door and rang the
bell. and, of course, were admitted. In II few
moments the Youngest daughter who had been at
school, returned home and entered. the burglars
being at the time upstairs. She put her books
on the dining table and passed out to the street.
In abont ten minutes the older daughter
arrived and the two sisters attempted to enter
the house, but could not open the door. They
tried the window, raised it and entered. and to
their surprise found the door fastened from
. within by a chair. They speedily opened the
door and gave the alarm. Two neighbors re-
sponded. but only in time to hear the thieves
make hasty retreat through the rear gate and
escape. The rooms were literally strewn with
the contents of bureaus, cupboards and trunks.
The beds we're turned topsy-turvy. but the
thieves Only got away with a small, amount of
jewelry worth about $50.
Mr.. McCabe. writing to THE STAR in regard
TO the robbery, says: For boldness of execu-
ton. in full view of neighbors on all sides, IN
broad daylight. this is hard to beat, and
the people Of that sect;bn of the city demand
more police and better protection of property
or that the taxes on their property be refunded
to enable them to employ watchmen in suffi
cient numbers to insure some degree OF safety
If there is no remedy for the people they want
to know it. so they may arm themselves or call
out the militia. Such raids as this are a refec-
ton upon the authorities. Congress or the
people, and are only the results of false
economy"

The condition of Gen. Rosecrans in the
opinion Of DR.. Rosse, his attending physician,
is slightly improved this morning. There has
been no paralysis. as reported. but his situa-

exertion from official duties well as fatigne
from his Chattanooga trip and the late G. A r.

TIE ALEXANDRIA LIBRARY.

TIE ALEXANDRIA LIBRARY.
torpor seems to have crept upon the scheme
for the establishment of reading room at the
Peabody building and the reopening Of Alex
andria library with such additions Of encyclo-
pedas, &c. as to make it useful as a public
reference library. The Alexandria library will
soon reach its centennial, having been estab-
lshed in 1896, when Alexandria had less than
5000 inhabitants. but it has been subjected to
periods of suspended animation, one of the
longest extending twenty years. 1t has,
however, been from time to time re-
vived, and for decade after decade has
had its mission Of usefulness. The difference
between the attractions of newspapers and Of
books wns notably illustrated by nm event in
the history OF the library in 1857. The library
rooms. then in the Lyceum Hall building, were
open each afternoon and evening, but there
were few readers ut the rooms. In that year a
copy Of The EVENING STAR was supplied to the
library and the attendance within one month
increased 10 per cent. The library has now q
permanent home at the Peabody building and
with little enterprise and expense may again
become most useful factor in the life Of the
city.
AN OLD ALEXASDRIAS.
The notice in The STAR Of the death Of Mr..
Ephraim Wheeler was read with regret here.
Mr.. Wheeler was native Alexandrian, and the
old Wheeler homestead, underpinned on Prince
street near Payne, has but recently given place
to more modern dwellings. He was engaged
in the hardware business here for thirty years
before his removal to Washington. One Of
Ale1andrias Evolutionary yarns is Of the elder
Wheeler. His father was tsciturn member Of
the Society Of Friends in its most austere days,
but who, having purchased some horse shoes
found at what was called Horse Heaven" on
the outskirts OF old Alexandria, by a colored boy
named John Angel insisted to some of his
friends that the shoes had been brought to his
store from heaven by an angel. and came near
a commission Of lunacy on that account. The
solemn joke was laughed at in Alexandria for
three decades.
The Harkin Wood yulcanizing company of
Washington has now the timber for its new
wharf and the pile driver will soon be at work.
A hotel is to be put up at New Alexandria as
soon rs the season permits work.
Some surprise is expressed that the Richmond
court of appeals has SO long delayed judgment
on the appeal case Of JEFF Phillips, convicted Of
the murder of George Smith. 1t is thought
that this indicates the probability of an adverse
decision.
