we imagine the trunk of a large tree

operation is to sink, at some point

], R. ZIMMERMAN.

Prominent among the wholesale
trade, as well us the retail trade OF
the city, is Mr.. j. R. Zimmerman.
He is a native Alexandrian, and a
live, progressive business man, always
awake to every interest that can be
of benefit to the home of his birth.
Born in 1888 he attended the local
schools, engaging in mercantile pur-
suits first in 1854, as clerk for Mr..
c. C. Berry in dry goods, notions,
etc. After two years of service with
Mr.. Berry he associated himself with
Mr.. James NJ. Stewart, the dry goods
merchant on King street, and re-
NAMED with him until the breaking
out of the war. He then went South
with Company A of the Seventh Vir-
einia Volunteers, and was in all OF
the engagements with his regiment,
being at Appomattox at the time OF
the surrender Of Gen. Lee.
His next engagement was with the
firm of Dodge & Co., lumber mer-
chants at Tobyhama, Penn. IN Au-
gust, 1872, he returned to Alexandria
and entered the coal firm of T. J.
Mehaffey & Co.. as the junior mem
Der. In May, 1854, he succeeded the
firm at his present location, conduct
ing the business himself, and has
materially extendedit. 1t was at that
time mainly retail, but he has deyel-
oped it so that he not only supplies
the city largely, but the business ex-
tends at the present to Maryland, the
yirginias, the Carolinas, and Georgia,
with occasional shipments to other
Southern States.
Shipments are made direct from
the mines of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, by rail, and by vessel to
various Southern ports for shipment
into the interior. He deals chiefly
in anthracite, with occasional ship
ments of West Virginia and Cumber-
land coal.
Mr.. Zimmerman's yards have a
water frontage of 12O feet. The
wards are on the direct line Of the R.
& D.. Penn, B. & O., c. & O., and N.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1893-09-16

& W. railroad tracks. The dockage
yard is 120 feet wide as frontage
and 200 feet deep.
Two large storage yards lie on the
north and south side of Queen street,
and fronting on Union. The three
yards have storage capacity OF 5000
tons. The facilities for both loading
and unloading are ample for both
cars and vessels.
The main Office is located at the
foot of Queen, fronting on Union
street. The uptown Office is at 112
South st. Asaph street.
The anthracite coal is taken mainly
from the mines of the Susquehanna
Coal Co., situated at Nanticoke, and
the famous Lee, Gaylord, William
Penn, and Newport collieries.
Mr.. Zimmerman is also engaged in
the salt trade, receiving shipments
from the Warsaw mines, and impor-
tations of the English products. A

All the coal which goes through the
prepared coal rolls, passes with the
coal B from the mud screen into
series of revolving cylindrical screens
upon which water is thrown, and
which separates it into broken, egg,
stove, chestnut, pea and buckwheat
Goals.
The broken, egg. and stove, when
they leave the screen, pass down
shutes (where the slate is picked out
by men and boys into pockets, from
which the coal is loaded into railroad
cars. The chestnut and pea Goals
pass from the screens into jigs, and
then into pockets. The water carries
away the dirt which is gradually fiji
ling up the valleys.
The cars which come out of the
mines contain coal of all sizes, slate
and dirt (by the latter we understand
the coal and slate too small for
market), and must go to the breaker
SO that the coal may be prepared.
There are three operations to which
the coal is subjected in the breaker
Ist Sizing. ID. Crushing. Sd. Stat
ing picking the slate out OF the
coal).
In order to burn Anthracite to the
best advantage, it is important that
the Jumps should be Of uniform size.
The lump and steamboat are made
by passing the coal over parallel bars.
Lump generally passes over bars
placed from / to Is inches apart, what
goes through passes over bars about
3 inches apart, which retain the
steamboat and allow the rest to fall
through. Broken, egg, stove, chest
nut, pea and buckwheat, are made by
passing the coal through cylindrical
screens with meshes of different sizes.
They are made with either cast iron
wire, or punched sheet.iron seq
ments. By allowing water to fall
upon the screens while moving, the
coal is washed and the dirt more
easily removed. 1t generally happens
that the coal coming from the mines
contains more lump and steamboat,
and even broken, than can be sold,
and also long, irregular pieces insult
able for market 1t is necessary to
break these to make prepared coal.
This is generally done by means of
two cylinders with iron or steel teeth,
which run into each other with great
velocity (9O-120 revolutions per min
ute). The coal drops in between
them and is crushed in passing
through By placing the rolls nearer
together OF farther apart more or less
of the smaller sizes can be made.

ton Of the congregation on this sub
ject, which resulted in the formation
of ST. Paul's Church, with Rev. Mr..
Gibson, Rector. Mr.. Gibson was
succeeded by Rev Mr.. Barclay, who
ministered from March, 1910, till
April 1911, in which year Rev. Viii
liam Meade became the Rector, and
served eighteen months. During
the ministry of Rev. Mr.. Meade, John
Randolph, of Roanoke, Hon. James
Milnos, of Philadelphia, and other
distinguished members of Congress,
were attracted to hear him proclaim
the unseachable riches of Christ.
Rev. Oliver Norris, who succeeded
Bishop Meade, continued his minis
try until his death, in August, 1925,
a period of q years. Rev. Renel
Keith, a professor in the Theological
Seminary, succeeded Mr.. Norris, but
resigning in the summer of 1927,
was reelected in the following No
yember, the Vestry giving him the
services of an assistant. He found
it, however, incompatible to combine
the duties of parish minister with
those of a professor, and again re-
signed in July, 1928. DR.. Keith was
succeeded by Rev. George Griswold,
who had acted as assistant to his
predecessor for several months,
but in consequence of i'll health, he
resigned in the month of June, 1929,
went to the West Indies, and soon
after died. The ministry of Rev.
John 2. Mcguire was cut short in
1881, by his eyesight becoming
seriously impaired, and he was
obliged to tender his resignation
Rev. Charles Mann became the Rector
in 1880, and continued in that rela-
ton until February 1884, when he
was succeeded by Rev. Charles B.
Dana, who ministered to this church
until 1860, a period exceeding 26
years, when he was called to Port
Gibson, Miss, where he continued
six years, and then removed to
Trinity Church, Natchez, in which
place he remained until his death, in
February, 1873. As soon as the sad
intelligence of DR.. Dana's death
reached Alexandria, Christ Church

The Free Methodists have of late
years erected on south Lee street an
mpretentious but neat house of
worship. Their membership is small,
but the congregations in their church
are often large Rev. Mr.. Lanning is
the minister in charge.
The German Lutherans meet IN a
modest but neat and tasteful house
of worship on the corner of Alfred
and Cameron streets. Their mem
bership is not large, but their con-
gregation bids fair to grow with the
city.
There are twelve or fifteen places
of worship which are used by the
colored people Some Of them are
costly and imposing in appearance
and they all have large congrega-
tons.

THE ALEXANDRIA BRICK COMPANY

works are located on the north bank
of Little Hunting Greek and on one
of the prettiest sites, and one the
most desirable locations on the Poto-
mae for manufacturing purposes, or
the bluff in the rear for residence pur-
poses. The Company OWNS thirty
acres of ground; it is plated off in
lots and streets, and is named Bromi-
law. The plant is just outside of the
corporation limits. An electric rail
way passes through it, the north
abutment being on the Brick Com
pany's property.
The firm has a capacity Of 10000
bricks per day, they employ fifty
men, and have an average pay roll OF
eight hundred dollars perweek. The
capital stock is $4,000.
Park Agnew is president; NJ. b.
Harlow, vice president and treasurer.
The directors are: NJ B. Harlow,
George Harlow, John Harlow, A.
Greenless, and Park ASnew.
The brick made is all red, and is
sold in the city, in river towns along
the Potomac, and in the District OF
Columbia.
1t is the intention of the Richmond
< Danville Railroad Company, in the
very near future, to connect their
main line with the branch railroad,
known as the Manassas Gap road
bed This will traverse Bromilaw,
the property Of the Alexandria Brick
Company, in two directions.
The r. x d. OWNS Improperly pro
jecting into the Potomac at Bromi-
law, known as The Point, near the
lighthouse, and every one can see
plainly the interest it will be TO Alex
andria and Bromilaw as soon as roll
ing stock is placed on this branch,
with The Point as terminl.
The probabilities are that the r.
& d. will build line from "lhe
Point to Strasburg, and eventually
coal fields of West Virginia

along the vein), here gangways "a
horizontal tunnel in the vein) are
driven in both directions from the
foot of the slope, rising slightly so as
to make the water drain to the slope.
A double railroad track is laid down
the slope, forming an inclined plane,
and from the foot of the slope single
track is extended along both gang
ways. A slope generally 100 yards
long does not reach to the bottom Of
the basin. the part Of the vein Tor

the vein rises towards the surface in
both directions, and therefore the
vein on one side OF the gangway is

in Alexandria-Trinity, Methodist
Episcopal South, Methodist Protest
ant, and Free Methodist Trinity
(Rev. w. H. McAllister) was formerly
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which name it retained until few
years ago when new editice was
constructed and its name changed.
Its organization dates back to revo-
lutionary days. Some of our best
people are among its members. The
NJ. E. Church South, while not so
old by many years, has large and
growing congregation. This church
too, has been rebuilt recently. Rev.
T. E. Carson is the present minister.
The Methodist Protestant Church
(also a new building) is made up of
number of our best citizens, and is
a growing and earnest congregation.
Rev I. I. Benson, son OF former
pastor, is at present in charge.
These churches are all situated on

gangway only can be worked from it,
as we should get below the water
level if we attempted to get at the
other. Upon the gangway on both
sides of the slope and from twenty to
fifty yards from it, breast OF cham
Der ten yards wide is opened, and
five yards left for a pillar, and then
another breast, ten yards wide, is
opened and so on. In each breast a
miner and laborer works, who cut the
coal and bring it to gangweys, where
it is loaded into cars. If the vein,
and consequently the breast, is steep,
the coal slides down to the gangway,
if fat, railroad is laid into it, and
the cars taken in, if neither steep nor
fiat, various devices are used to get
the coal to the gangway. Railroads,
on which mules and locomotives are
used, are laid all through the mines.

This spot the throngs which emerge

There are several historic churches
IN Alexandlia-some going back to
colonial days.
Old Christ, on the square bounded
by Washington, Cameron, Columbus,
and King streets, is perhaps the
most interesting from the fact that
both Generals George Washington
and Robert Z. Bee were at times
members of its communion. The
sacred edifce is one of the most at
tructiye places to the stranger.
st Paul's Church, on south Pitt
street. is another edifce full of inter
est to both native and stranger.
This church was organized 1910,
when it was a small building on
Fairfax street. In 1918. the present
church was consecrated. Its rectors
nave been Rev. Mr.. Gibson, 1S1O-1l ;
Rev VIM. H. Wilmer, D. D. 1Sl2-26
Rev. VIM. jackson, lS27-32; Rev. j.

of pew No. 5, for the sum of thirty
six pounds and ten shillings, the
highest price paid.
The first minister of this church
was Rev. Townsend Dade, who served
from December 80, 1865, to June,
ITS; Rev. Mr.. West from December
l, 1865 the following February, when
he resigned, and was succeeded by
Rev. David Griffith who exercised his
ministry until 1889. DR.. Griffith was
succeeded, in 1890, by Rev. Bryan
Fairfax, who in 1892 was succeeded
by Rev. Thomas Davis, and he by
Rev. Mr.. Gibson in 1907, who pre-
cipitately resigned in the latter part
of the year 1909. The Vestry
promptly accepted his resignation,
but there was a difference OF senti-
msnt between the Yestry and a por-

was draped in mourning and a
memorial service held. On the 22d
of October, 1860, Rev. Cornelius
Walker, D. D., was chosen Rector.
DR.. Walker held the position de jure
until the month Of June, 1866, when
he resigned. His actual ministry
extended only to the time of the oc-
cupation of Alexandria by the Federal
troops, in May, 1861, when with
many of his flock, he removed within
the confederate lines. In August,
1866, Rev. A NJ Randolph became
the Rector, but resigned on the 4th
of September, 1867, to enter upon a
new and enlarged sphere of useful
ness in the city of Baltimore and on
the. oath of November, 1867, Rev.
Randolph Fl. McKim, assumed charge
of the Congregation. He was sue
ceeded by Rev. G. n. Dame and Rev.
Henderson Suter, the present pastor,
succeeded him.
In 1921 the old square peWs,
which escaped division in 1916 and
1917. were divided, and among them
that purchased by Washington, at
the sale in 1773: and with reduced
dimensions, pew No. 3 became pews
No. 80 and 80, the latter, restored to
its former shape in 1897, was again
altered second time restored.
In1S70amemolial tabletwas erected
on each side of the chancel-one in
memory OF Washington, the other OF
Lee, bearing the following inscrip-
tions: "In memory of George
Washington Sin memory of Robert
Edward Lee General Lee was con-
frmed in this Church in 1853.
Susannah Edwards exercised the Of
fee of Sexton in 1776, and in 1910
Mrs. Cook became the Sexton. The
latter held the office until 1921, when
she was retired on an annuity.
"Her peculiar dress and physiog-
nomy, her stately manner of usher
ing persons unto their pews, and
locking the doors upon them, and
the almost military air with which
she patrolled the aisles, alert to de-
tect and prompt to suppress any
violation of order, are remembered
by persons now living"
From 1765 until 1913 this church
was called "the Episcopal Church. >
On the 9th of June, 1914, it was
