BUSINESS NOTES.

The total fire insurance paid for
losses within the city limits for the
year was 81, 620.22 as against 81 ,29S %
last year. The greatest single loss was
that sustained by the burning of the
tug Harlow. The efficiency of the fire
department accounts for the small fire
loss in this city.
The amount of lumber sold in the
city during the year was fully equal to
that of last year when it ran up to 49,
100000 feet. This city, as is stated
elsewhere, has grown to be lumber
distributing centre.
The grocery and provision merchants
report that the trade of 1892 which
reached SO, 500, 900 has been fully equal
ed if not exceeded this year. A bust
ness ofthree-and-a.half million dollars
in one branch of trade is something for
cities of much greater pretentions than
Alexandria 10 be proud of.
Four hundred and thirty-two burial
permits for persons who died in the
city were issued during the year. which
is less than that of 1892 by 80. The
whites were, males 119, females 9S;
total whites, 217, which is 81 less than
last year. The colored were, males
los, females 10Y; total colored, 215, an
increase by 10 over last year. The
largest number dying in one month
was in March 46; the lowest in Novem-
Der 90. The remains of % persons who
died in the city were sent elsewhere for
interment, and Sc bodies were brought
here for burial, of which 40 died in the
District of Columbia.
During this years session the clerk
of the City School Board has issued
2217 permits to children to attend the
public schools-6S1 to white boys; SIS
to white girls; 463 to colored boys, and
ass to colored girls. Last year 2073
permits were issued, which shows an
increase of IA.
The clerk of the gas works reports
that there are now S94 private gas
consumers; the same number as last
year. During the year 35 new services
were put in buildings and 40 old ones
renewed. There were 1852 feet of new
main laid-1l44 on north Columbus

mother so fondly kissed last New Year is not

then wcpt and departed. 1t seemed to come
from heaven and to stay just long enough to
make us love it, and then to return. Its mis-
sion appears to have been to gather up our af-
fections and carry them back to heaven with
it, to make us love heaven more and earth
less. Some beautiful girls and noble boys
whose laugh and shout enlivened our homes
during the last Christmas and New Year holt
days are not with us to-day. Dreamless,
they sleep beneath the SHOWS of the winter in
our neighboring cemeteries and foul decay
has married their lovely forms. In placing
the house in order for these holidays we have
FUND toy, 4 shoe, a hat, book, unclaimed
and ownerless, which made US weep anew.
Oh, shall they ever live again? The old arm

4 CORRESPONDENCE
RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 30, 1898.
Though the Legislature meets Mon
dav it is doubtful if any business will
be transacted. Indeed it is doubtful
if any thing of consequence will be
done in either branch of the General
Assembly until after next week. AS
has been stated in this column before,
the caucus will meet Friday night.
Most of the intervening time will be
spent in deciding who to vote for, for
Judges of the Supreme Court. There
are quite number Of gentlemen will
ING to serve in this capacity and their
friends are working for them with all
the ardor usually displayed by pol
iticians. Speaker Cardwell, of Man.
over and Hon. II. r. Pollard, of Rich
mond are both seeking places. 1t is
hardly probable that two OF the judges
will be selected from the same dis
trict and therefore one or the other will
certainly be disappointed. Mr.. Pol
lard's friends are very hopeful but it
really looks to an unbiased mind that
Mr. Cardwell will be the man. Judge
Mann, of Nottoway also stands q
mighty good show and it is said that
Judge Rhea, of Bristol, can have q
place i he wants it. The latter gentle
man is a warm personal friend of
Governor-eleot 0'Ferrall and is very
popular throughout the State and par
ticularlyiu the southwest. In the con-
yention here last August he placed in
nomination Col. 0'Ferrall and his
speech was an oratorical gem.

during the twelve months which close
tomorrow During this period some of
the finest and most modern buildings
in the city have been finished, and
squares which heretofore had not in
dulged in the luxury of pavement
have been graded, guttered and paved,
while the City Council has ordered the
opening and extension of streets on the
north and south of the city. Pitt street,
for instance, is to be opened to Hunting
creek, and, of course, it is but mere
matter of time when all streets running
parallel with that thoroughfare will
have their terminii at the creek shore.
Buildings now stud all that portion of
the city's environs south of Franklin
street, that thoroughfare having long
since ceased to be Alexandria's south
ern boundary. Eighty-one frame and
forty-four brick houses were added to
Alexandria's real estate during the year
closing, and prospects are that with the
extension of certain streets which is
now in progress, this number will be
realty exceeded during 1894. In
deed, already many lots have
been secured upon which houses
will be placed during the coming spring
and summer. A few years ago the
growth of Alexandria was confined
chiefly to the northwest, but the fancy
prices at which the lots have been held
in that section have brought about a
change, and Of late the growth has been
confined to no special locality, but lots
on all streets have been purchased and
improved This is noticeable from the
fact that south as we'll as north Alfred
street has had fine dwellings erected
upon it recently, and this observation
applies equally to the southern por-
lions of many other thoroughfares, the
northern ends of which few years ago
were regarded as the most eligible for
building purposes. 1t is but re-
Gently that many gaps existed lin
some instances of squares) between
houses on west Wolfe and Duke streets.
These in late years have nearly all
been closed, until now there are almost
solid blocks of residences from the
rivers brink on the east to West End
on the west, while Duke street has
been extended over mile into Fair
fax county. But there has been no.
ticeabe expansion on nearly all the
other streets, too, during the past year,
by the erection of new and the modern
iz!ng and repairing of old houses. 1t
is safe to predict that before the census
of 1900 shall have been taken AleXan-
dria will have spread beyond her corpo-
rate limits, and that within the city
vacant lots will be unknown, rs should
the city but make the average of last
year (Which it must not be forgotten was
one of business depressionl eight hun
dred and seventy-live additional houses
will greet the eyes of those of us who
are alive at the dawn of the twentieth
century. But we are persuaded that
these figures are but the minimum, and
that instead of an average of one hum
bred and twenty-five buildings during
each of the next seven years we are
more likely to see eight hundred and
seventy houses built in less than
half that time.

In other words he will give $3O0,ooo
more than he has already given, or any
