All the Work Progressing Finely.
The regular weekly meeting of the cen
trail committee on Capitol centennial cele
bration last evening was of very short dur
alton, owing to the fact that, while the
program had been practically completed. il
could not be presented to the committee
until it had first been passed on by the join,
congressional committee. Chairman Gard
ner announced that there would be a meet
ing of the congressional committee with the
citizens committee of fourteen at the Cap
itol today, when it is expected the program
would be approved.

]. Weller acted as secretary. the following

vftatiOnS, stated that the invitations were
prepared and awaiting the adoption of the
program when they would be issued.

monies at the Capitol announced that the
committee had invited Speaker Crisp to
make ifteen-minute address, and that the

The committee on parade reported the re-
suit OF its conference with the participa tin g
organizations last week, as printed in The
meyer of the German-American societies
was read stating that the German Ameri-
can citizens would not participate in the
parade as body.
Mr.. Sperry suggested that the new liberty
Dell and the one now at Chicago be brought
here, If practicable, and used on the occa-
sion OF the celebration. A motion 10 that
effect in reference to the old liberty bell
was adopted, but it was thought that the
other could not be secured in any event
MIR. Sperry also suggested that the celebra-
ton be much more extensively advertised
In the outside press, but Chairman Gardner
explained that that could not well be done
until something definite in relation to rail-
road rates could be ascertained. The COM
mittee on rates had so far been unable To
get the railroads to do anything in the mat
ter.
Mr.. Weller, for the committee on rates
explained that the committee had asked the
roads to place round-trip tickets on sale
good for ten days for the price of one way
at all points within LOCO miles of Washing

ALEXANDRIA.
The Tree-Limb blockade,

The Alexandria appropriation for street
work had no outlook for hurricanes at the
time 1t was made; so that there is no fund
out of which to pay for the removal of
the great limbs of trees which hav, fallen
on the carriageways and still remain there
singular enough, while occupants are bound
to keep the sidewalks clear, there is no law
for clearing off the carriageways At the
time Qs2D wnen the late Judge Cranch
made the frame Of the laws, which still
govern the town, there were very few trees
on the public streets. and SO the laws do not
provide for an occasion like he present.
The superintendent of police is bound to see
that the streets are kept clear. but without
money to clear them he Us poweriess. 1t is
supposed that some special arrangement
will be made TO meet the special occasion
and the chain gangs will be employed to
clear away the fallen forest.
The Alexandria Public Schools.
The public schools of Alexandria will open
next Monday; all the teachers will be in
their places at o'clock on that day to re-
ceive such pupils as may obtain permits of
the clerk of the school board who will issue
the permits from Peabody Hall. 1t is ex-
pected that about 15OO permits will be is
sued. All the repairs and improvements
needed have been made under the super
vision of the committee on school houses
and furniture.
After the storm.
The hurricane of Monday has made good
times for many workmen who We're out Of
job. The broken fences and roofs en-
ploy the carpenters, the broken window
panes keep the glaciers busy and the many
toppled chimneys give employment to the
brick masons while the ship carpenters
find something to do i'll repairing the dam
ages done to vessels and boats on the river
side. The hurricane would have been in
deed an ill wind if it had blown nobody
good.
The removal of the offices of the Midland
Railroad Company to Charlottesville is now
in progress; the clerks will leave tomorrow,
and on the 1st of September the offices will
be reopened in Charlottesville.
Considerable improvement will soon be
made at the cemeteries on the southwest
edge of the town, and one or more new
vaults for the reception of the dead will be
erected
The Alexandria county court Judge chi
chester, will open here next Monday. and
it is understood that the Rosslyn gambling
cases will be taken up
A meeting will be held tonight at the
Catholic Lyceum Hall on Duke street to
make arrangements for a Catholic festival
to be held here this fall in aid of orphans
and the poor.
The Mt. Vernon railroad is about to put
in modern cOnduits under their road on

The Columbian Liberty Bell

The Columbian liberty bell. which was
recently cast in Troy and is now on its way
afternoon and was on exhibition for sew
eral hours on the 9Th street siding of the
pennsylvania station. Here it was viewed
by thousands of interested spectators and
was decorated with wreaths of roses and
carnations. There was no formal reception
rendered to the bell nor any regular exer-
cises.
The bell rested on fat car and is travel

THE POLICEMEN. WHERE WE'RE
THEY.
An Accident and n Crowd Directly in
front of the Mhite House GrounJs

font Oh the mite House Grounds.
Between 7:3O and s o'clock last evening
two men in a buggy attempted to cross the
car tracks in front of cable car on Penn
sylvania avenue opposite the White House
The horse succeeded in passing over in
safety. but the car struck the buggy and
the men were thrown violently to the
ground. Their injuries were not serious and
just then were probably not very painful, as
they were both evidently under the infiu-
ence of liquor. The buggy, which was badly
damaged in its frame work, was hauled to
the gutter and one of the injured men took
occupied himself by wiping off the hood
which trickled through a blood stained
han dkerchief wound about his battered head
His companion took his stand the curb
stone and busted himself in a similar man.
ner. of course crowd soon gathered. and
curious people went and came. Great sur
prise was expressed by some of the on
lockers, not that the men tried to cross the
tracks, not that they failed to get over in
safety. but that for, fifteen minutes or more
after the men had failed in their under
taking policeman failed to put in APP
pearance. The crowd had gathered directly
under one of the strong electric lights, it
was in one of the most central parts of the
city, and the gathering could be seen from
almost every direction. That there was not
a blue coat in the crowd was considered all
the more strange from the fact that the
corner of 18th street Pennsylvania avenue
and New York avenue is one of the busiest
and most dangerous spots in the city, and a
policeman ought to be there or near. there
all the time. and If he had been he would
have surely seen the crowd. A sergeant of
police in course of time sauntered up and
inquired what the trouble was, and soon
afterward several other policemen appeared
one at a time. and steps were taken to have
the men removed to the Emergency Hos
pital
