DEATH OF Mr.. TowNsHEND d. FEND.
ALL.-Another of our oldest and most
esteemed citizens in the person of Mr..
Townshend Dade Fendall passed away
last night at the residence of Mr.. Dallas
Coons, in Culpeper county, where the
deceased and his family were spending
the summer. Mr.. Fendall was an octo-
genarian, having been born in this city
about four-score years ago. All his
long life was passed in this community
in various occupations, all of which he
filled with fidelity. In early life the
deceased embarked in mercantile pur-
suits, which he later relinquished and
became an officer in the old Farmers
Bank in this city, which position he held
until the breaking out Of the war, when
the business of the bank was brought to
n standstill. At the close of hostilities,
after the various Alexandria institutions
had been transferred to their former off
GERS, Mr.. Fendall was made secretary
and treasurer Of the Alexandria Water
Company, which position he retained
until his death, and upon the office otthe
company being moved to the old bank
building he found himselfat work again
in the same room in which he had been
employed a third of century previ-
ously. The deceased, was active, en-
ergetic and reliable in every calling in
life. He was for number of years .
school trustee for the First ward, which
position he occupied until removal from
the ward disqualified him for the place.
Mr.. Fendall had retained his natural
vigor up to very short time ago, his
step being firm and his power to prose-
cute the labors of his Office being APP
parently unimpaired. Recently, how
ever, advancing age began to tell upon
him. Ill-health followed and his de-
cline grew rapid, until, as stated above,
the last scene of all was reached. His
remains will be brought to this city to-
night for ipterment.

ABANDONED THE PRoJECT.-Mr. l..
w. Spear, whose franchise for the use
of the streets Of the city for railroad
purposes would have expired to-mor-
row, was in the city to-day and stated
that after mature consideration he had
decided to relinquish his option. He
stated that he believed he could have
commenced work and have held on to
his franchise for six months longer, but
not seeing his way clear to build the
road at the end of that time, ow-
ing to the stringency Of the money
market, he had concluded to abandon
the enterprise and thereby give any one
else desiring TO do so an opportunity of
building road between this city and
Washington. This, Mr.. Spear says, is
the first failure he has made in any of
his enterprises, and had it not been for
the financial condition of the country
proving inauspicious, his Alexandria
project would have been as success
ufl as has been his former under
takines. Mr.. Spear, however, has
augmented the business of this city
and section considerably during the
two years lie has been in our midst.
He was the protector of the present
street and Mount Vernon Railway, and
has brought numbers of capitalists here
who have been much impressed with
the advantages this city offers for the
manufacturer or as business centre,
and his labor will doubtless inure to
the city's interest yet. In the mean
time an electric road from Alexandria
to Washington is inevitable, and now
that Mr.. Spear has relinquished his
right to the use of the streets it is a
mere matter of time when others will
take advantage of the opportunity of
building road which is sure to prove
to its owners. Mr.. Spear
thinks that until Congress allows the
of bridge across the Po-
tomac another railway between this
city and Washington will not be built.

MANDAMUs PRoCEEDINGs.-On Sat
urday last DR.. Purvis, coroner, acting
City Sergeant, served upon City Audit
or Price notice setting forth that on
Friday next, the 2Sth inst, w. II. Smith,
through his counsel, Messrs. Francis J..
Smith and A. w. Armstrong, would
petition the Judge of the Corporation
Court to issue a writ of mandamus
against Auditor Price to compel that
official to issue his warrant in favor Of
VIM. II Smith for the sum of $162.93 for
fuel furnished at the Jail from April,
1892 to April, 1898. 1t will be remem-
bered that Council, at recent meeting,
acting upon the opinion of Corporation
Attorney Brent, refused to allow a
claim of over $1,000 made by Captain
Smith for fuel said to have been pur-
chased by him from July, 1880, to April,
1892. In January, 1878, the then Cor
poration Attorney, the late Chas. E..
Stuart, in an opinion sent to Council
stated that the charge was not against
the city, since which time, up TO this
year, no claim was made by either Ser
geant Smith or his predecessor, r. T..
Lucas. Judge Norton's recent order,
which the mandamus proceedings is
instituted to enforce, is said to be the
first order of its kind made by the Cor
poration Court. The papers will be
turned over to Corporation Attorney
Brent who will answer for the city.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.-During the
past month several burglaries have
been committed in this city, and, like
the Whitechapel murderer, the bur-
glars have left evidences of the same
procedure in each case. With sharp
knife they have in every instance cut
the Stats from window blinds and thus
effected entrances. Last night the resi-
deuce of Mr.. Richard Cogan, on north
Columbus street, was entered the same
way by burglar or burglars and the
house ransacked, though nothing was
stolen, it appearing that the object of
the burglary was to obtain money. 1t
is said there are number of suspicious
parties prowling around near the city,
and that they rendezvous at different
places outside oftown. An effort should
be made to capture them.

FINED FOR JUMPING ON a CAR.-The
crowd of colored people who congle,
gate in and around the local depot on
Sunday evenings have by their hilarity
often been complained of, and efforts to
break up the practice have only pro-
duced temporary relief Yesterday the
usual gang was on hand, most of whom
had no business there, and in order to
while away the time some began to
jump on and off moving trains. A
dusky individual named Stewart, who
seemed anxious to let everybody know
he was there, jumped on moving
Pullman car, and yelled to the crowd.
"Good-bye!" I'll see you tomorrow J"
and having rode short distance jump
ed Oft, amid laughter and yells. Lieut..
Smith put in his appearance simulta.
neausly and taking Stewart in charge
remarked, you'll see them at the sta.
ton house tomorrow" This morning
the prisoner said he had boarded the
car to see his mother off who, he said,
had taken sleeping car berth for
Washington. He was fined $3.50.

crorr WArcH.-On last Tuesday
1ri.s Mary Kesseler, who lives IN the
neirhborhood of the Jail, missed her
~oid watch and chain from her room
+ had been stolen between the hours
a n'rIock in the morning and 8 O'Clock
:, The evening. She advertised her
loss in the GAZETTE, and Officer TIGER
undertook to recover the timepiece:
lie soon learned that q negro named
Perry Holloway, who has been pa,
iron of the police court Of late, mad so q
Gold watch and chain to coIored
how employed in Mr., W. d. hudson
store The boy was found and after
some hesitation he informed the officer
hat he had bought the watch from
Holloway for two dollars and paid h'm
one dollar on the purchase. The BOY
was made to produce the stolen ar''cie
and on Saturday night Mr.. Iicer i""ild
Halloway on the fair grounds, nj me
MINER end of King street ANA put man
under arrest. This morning III the po-
lice court the prisoner who h",i IN
tho early part of the week been
in iail subject to the chain gang,
testified that he procured the watch
from Henry Williams, colored, mem
Der of the chain gang, and had been
commissioned by him TO keep 1t ior
him. Williams was then brought IN
and he averred that Holloway showed
him the watch while in Jail and that al
fer his Holloway's) release he had re-
turned to the Jail and given witness
one dollar to say nothing about the oc-
curence. Holloway, 1.-THE other hano,
asserted that Williams brought the
watch into the Jail and gave it to HIM.
Both were sent on to the grand jury.
II seems that Williams previous to go
ingto Jail had beenworking in and about
Miss Kesseler's residence, and While
member of the chain gang had been
allowed to leave the Jail unattended.
The inference is that he stole the time
piece during one Of his hours OF hber-
~ and carried it to the jail. and HoI!o-
WAYS fine having been paid IN the
meantime, he got him To sell 1t ana
brin. him the money. The discipline

lax Git being stated in the evidence IN
this case that they are often allowed to
leave that institution aud 90 about the
Streets It's no uncommon occurrence
for negroes sentenced to jail for sundry
misdemeanors to be seen walking the
streets at liberty, it probably being pre-
sumed at that institution that they will
return. 1t is also charged that ne
gro who is supposed to be undergoing
term in jail subject to the chain gang,
was umpiring baseball game yester-
day. The timepiece alluded to above
was stolen Tuesday. Holloway was not
released until Wednesday and Williams
term has not yet expired. Now one OF
two was evidently allowed the oppor-
tuuity to enter residence in broad
daylight and commit larceny, and the
fact that housebreakers are found ply
ing their vocation about the city while
under sentence TO confinement in jail
is q commentary upon the law and Or
der of Alexandria, to say the least.
