Rev. w. P. Chalfant, wife and two chill
dren, returned missionaries from Ichon
Flu, China, are at the Grand. Mr.. Chal-
FAINT states that the day before they sailed
from Shanghai an immense cotton-mill
owned by the Viceroy was burned. The
mills, he said. were very extensive and
employed between 5000 and 10000 native
workmen. a gentleman from Boston
named Danforth was the man ager of the
property. The mill property was situated
just outside of the concession upon W hich
the city Is built and for this reason the
native fire department. refused to go to the
fire. The loss was estimated at about
$1.50O.O0O in gold. The mandarin who
had charge of the works during the an
sence of the manager made several at
tempts to throw himself in the flames of
the burning buildings when he found they
were doomed. The Chinese workmen
stood idly by and could not be induced to
fight the flames. They said it was the
vengeance of the fire dragon, who had be-
come displeased because a chime of bells
had recently been placed in the new
CustOm-house.

the Lucrative Appointment From
Governor Markham.

The term of Albert Gerberding as Bank
Commissioner will expire with the closing
month of this year, and his associates in
the inspection of the monetary institu-
tions Of the State-W. Fl. Knight and c. a.
Dunsmoor-wili relinquish their official

years.
Commissioner Gerberding, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Waterman. would

chief executive Of the State had already
made up his mind regarding Gerberding's
successor. The man whom be has selected

pointment will be made early in January.
The Governor has made no secret of his
Intention in this respect, and Mr.. Fuller

tons of his friends during brief visit to
the city yesterday.
The forthcoming Bank Commissioner is
an old resident of California. He has
been iden titled with Republican politics
for generation, and was one of the first
mem ers OF the party in the northern part
OF the State to espouse Markham's candi-
dature for the gubernatorial nomination.

STATE controller, but was outvOted by the
friends Of Colgan. the present Controller.
Mr.. Fuller Is department commander of

cation. He Is now engaged in the real es-
tate and Insurance business in Marysville,
and Is reputed an expert accountant.

ANACOSTIA.

The slashing epidemic and the slasher
scare are having their effect on Anacostia
nerves. Houses are closed. more carefully
doors. bigger charges are poured into the
guns, alarm clocks are loaded to shoot at
intervals during the night. and the hitherto
peaceful slumbers of the town are disturbed.
Preparations for an enthusiastic meeting
of the Anacostia Citizens Association are
on foot. Citizens are not wholly satisfied
with the progress of the town, and some of
them attribute this to the lack of interest
which they say the authorities manifest for
this section.
The police note an improvement in the
morals OF the outlying districts. CraD is;
not altogether lost art, but it seems to
be no longer enthroned in the heart and the
heads of the people of the aforesaid dis

grounds barely present faint suggestions OF
their past splendor.

SUBURBAN NEWS,

Alexandria city formerly owned a large
amount of real estate, and the real estate
committee of the city council was one of
the most important of the public commit
tees. The city council has, however, of late
years disposed of it's property at the foot
OF Duke street, which came to it from the
old board of trustees, and is under contract
to sell the American coal wharf property,
near the northeastern edge of the city. The
city still possesses. however, the market

siren was kept in reserve until the lower
limits of Philadelphia were reached.
From this on during the run of eight
miles to Cramps yard the din was almost
deafening. Thousands Of people stood on
the wharves and housetops alons the river

the noble cruiser that had beaten the best
