PREPARING FOR THE INAUGURATION.
Preparations have already commenced
for accommodating The crowds which
will come to Washington during the in
auguration. The number increases
considerably every time a new Prcsi-
dent is installed, and for some years
Washington has proven inadequate to
accommodate the mass of people who
flock to that city every four years.
Boarding houses are packed, halls are
utilized rs bedrooms and visitors are
subjected to many inconyienences in or
der to stay in the capital city during
the stepping-down-and-out of one chief
magistrate and the ensconcing OF an
other Alexandria is within fifteen
minutes run of the scene of all the tes-
Invites. and communication is kept up
between the two cities until mid
night. How easy it is for many
to escape the congestion caused by the
crowd in Washington by residing in
this historic city during their visit. Alex
andria is literally what Jersey City or
Hoboken is to New York-it is just
across the river-and people can stand
here and behold the Capital easier than
the Hobokenites can see the spire of
Trinity Church. Already some who
will cater to public comfort during the
inaugural period have fixed their eyes
seriously on our city, and very sensibly,
too, and are advertising from this place
Here everything In the way of lodging,
board. &C., can be procured easily and
necessarily cheaper than in Washing
ton, and there is every indication that
the facilities offered here will be en-
hraced by numbers.

THE PROPOSED BRIDGE.-Additional
railroad connection with Alexandria
and direct line from this city to
Mount Vernon are the objects prim-
nrily sought in the bill, introduced on
Monday in the House of Representa-
tives. to authorize the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric
Railway Company to constructa rail-
road bridge across the Potomac river
and construct railroad over
the same and through GER
tain streets and reservations OF
Washington. 4 liberal feature-de-
cidedly in contrast with the Legislative
proposition of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company in connection with the
structure which must soon supplant
Long BRIDGES the provision which
makes public, free of cost, carriage
way and footway on each side of the
tracks on the bridge. As to the
draw which is provided for and as
to the place and manner in which
the tracks shall cross the flats,
the engineer office and the Sec
rotary of War are to Judge; as to
Inc route within the city, that may
safely be left with the District commit
tees; as to the motive power, which
viii almost surely lie electrical, there
will be no popular objection so long
as the cars are operated within the city
by storage batteries or underground
wires.-U Washington Star.

DIED BY HER OWN HAND
Suicide of Bz-Attorney General
Garlmd's Daughter,
A BULLET THROUGH HER HEART

To Make Sure of Death the Young Lady
Had Turned On the Gas Before Firing
the Fatal shot-Iho True Cause of Her
Act May Never be Known.
WASHINGTON, oct. os.--Niss Daisy Gar
land, aged "a years q. ghter of eN-Attor-
ney General Garlnu. committed suicide
here late yesterday afternoon by shooting
herself through the heart with her fathers
revolver
There was nothing i'm her condition in
the morning to indicate mental disturb
ance, and she couversed with the family in
regard tO q theater party, which she was
to give last night. Afterward she went to
her room, and at luncheon time one of tho
family went to call her. The young lady
was found lying ON the floor dead. The body
was still warm, indicating that the shot
had been fired only a short time previous,
though no one in the house heard the re-
port
From the position in which Miss Gar
land body lay it is evident chat she had
stood i'm front of a large mirror and taken
deliberate aim at her heart. She had taken
the precoution of turning ON all the gas
Jets i'm the room, so that i'm case the bullet
failed in it's deadly work the gas would
smother her into the sleep of death.
The eX-attouey general had left the
house for his Office and it was an hour or
more before his daughters awful death
was known TO him. He was so completely
overcome that he could scarcely stand
when the news was broken to him. He
was aided to "a chair until a carriage could
be called to take him home. The entire
family was so overwhelmed with the
