Guided in the latter class.
That fair test of the will of the
people of the State in the matter of
locating the capital has been made in
the numerous contests which other
cities have waged with Frankfort for
almost a century, and especially
in tho Constitutional Conven-
ton and the present General
Assembly, there can hardly be the
question of doubt, and now. that
Frankfort is justly entitled to the re-
ward of her long-tried patience and
suffering under disappointment both
Louisville and Lexington, as we'll as
all other parts of the State, should
unite in securing the permanency
of Frankfort's claims by advocating
at once an appropriation for the
building of State House in this city.

DEATHs.-Mr. Henry Starr Wattles,
a well-known and respected citizen,
who had been in i'll health for some
time, died at his residence on north St.
Asaphstreet this morning. The deceast d
had lived in Alexandria since his
birth here in 1925. His first business
pursuit dates back to the year 1858,
when in conjunction with the late
Thomas Smith he conducted a saw and
planning mill at the foot of Gibbon
street. Subsequently he was associated
in business with the late D. Boyd
Smith which was conducted till the
outbreak of the war, and after that
became commission merchant and so
continued for several years. Mr.. Wat
ties was a graduate of one of the Mas
sachusetts colleges, and was above the
average in intelligence. He was of
quiet disposition which rendered him
popular with all who knew him.
Mrs. Susan HUMPHREYS, widow of the
late w. H. HUMPHREYS, died this morn
ing at the residence of her granddaugh-
ter, Mrs. Deaton, on north St. Asaph
street, aged about 50 years. She was
for many years a consistent member of
the Southern Methodist Church and
had large circle frelatives and friends
who will mourn their loss.

THE SHOE FAcToRY.-At g meeting
last night of the directors of the Poto-
mac Shoe Company it was decided not
to resume operations at tho factory for
the present. This action was taken on
account of the unsettled state of the
leather market, and to await the re-
suit of the effect on prices which the
formation of the recent sole leather
trust may have. 1t is Glso understood
that trust in upper leather may pro-
baby be formed, and the directors in
view of those contingencies, not know
ing on what basis to make contracts,
decided TO continue the suspension OF
operations till matters become more
settled. The factory in this city EN-.
ploys quite number of hands who will
thus be thrown out of employment, but
it is hoped that this will be the case for
short time only, and that the factory
may soon begin work again.

TIE PoTOMAC FIsHERIEs.-The fish
ermen on the Potomac have nearly all
cut out their seines. Mr.. Withers Wal
Ter made his last haul for the season on
Friday. He said on Saturday that
while none of the fishermen had met
with heavy losses, none of them had
made money.
Now that the fishing season is about
over and most of the seines have cut
out, we are able to arrive at an intelli-
gent conclusion. Few if any of the
large seines have made money; some in
deed have not paid expenses, and the
outlook is that fish will be higher than
for several years past. We would adj
wise our country friends to take advan-
tage of the reasonable prices that are
now asked by our merchants for bar
relied fish, and supply themselves be-
fore the advance comes.-Fredericks-
burg Lance.

COMMITTEE MEET1NGs.-The COM
mittee on public property have decided
to report favorably to Council on the
application of the Alexandria Fertilizer
Company for permission to fence in the
sidewalk on the south side of Princess
street, between Lee and Union.
The committee on streets met last
night and authorized the electric rail-
way company to lay its turnout at the
intersection of King and Washington
streets. The committee received the
final estimates for the Second ward
sewer which has been inspected by En-
gineer Graves and Mr.. w. II. Burgess
for the city and found to be we'll con-
structed. The committee also decided
to report favorably the application of
Mr.. Geo. Benson for.the payment of a
balance of about S75 for work done on
the First ward sewer. The commit
tee awarded the contract for
paving the alleys in the blocks
bounded by King Cameron, Pitt
and st. Asaph streets Henry,
Fayette, King and Prince, and Wilkes,
Gibbon, Columbus and Alfred streets to
Mr.. John Studs for 60 cents per yard.

RAILWAY TURNoUT.-The committee
on streets last night authorized the cleo
trio railway company to lay turnout
at the intersection of King and Wash
ington streets, on the south side Of
the present track. This morning a
force of men were put to work laying
the turnout when DIR. Hinken, chair
man of the committee on light, who is
always looking out for the city's inter
est, informed the officers of the road
that the wires from the turnout would
interfere with the electric light wires at
that corner and that that could not be
permitted. Mr.. Hinken also notified
Mayor Strauss and Capt. Bryant, chair
man of the committee on streets, of his
objections. The city officials subse-
quently met the officers of the railway
company on the grounds and the mat
ter was satisfactorily settled, the rail-
way company officers agreeing to so
construct the line as not to interfere
with the electric light and to pay all
expenses of changes that would have to
be made in setting poles, stringing
wires, &c. The work of laying the
turnout is now in progress and will soon
be finished, when two cars will run up
and down King street.

RAN INTO FENcE.-A horse at
tached to cart belonging to Mr.. VIII
bert Baggett and driven by a colored
how. ran into the barb wire fence sur
rounding Bethel cemetery at the corner
of Wilkes and Payne streets yesterday
evening. The animal cut and tore it
self fearfully and carried away several
wards of the wire, together with one or
two of the posts. The equine in its
frantic efforts to free itself from the
torturing barbs became so entangled
that it became necessary to cut away
a portion of the fencing before the
horse could be freed.

THE GAZETTE IN THE CoUNTRY.-As
an evidence of the standard nature OF
the GAZETTE as o news medium in this
section of country, it was noticeable
fact that nearly every one of the forty
gentlemen summoned here from Fau-
quier county yesterday to act as jury
men stated in answer TO questions from
the court that they had read all about
the killing of George S. Smith by jeff.
Phillips in the GAZETTE. This paper
has for nearly century been apprei-
ated by many asan advertising medium
for the main reason that it circulates
among class of people who rely on a
standard newspaper to keep them post
ed on current topics, and who read and
profit by the advertisements they neces-
sarily encounter.

the assistance in their power. The hall

Residences and Manufactures.
The Land and River Improvement
Company are now ready to offer for
sale town lots in New Alexandria.
Lots will be offered for sale at the Land
Office for the next two weeks. The
company will then remove the Office to
New Alexandria.
Parties desiring to buy now will have
the first pick and choice. Prices will
be reasonable and on easy terms. The
prices will probably be advanced in
thirty days at least 10 per cent. from
the present schedule prices, owing to
the donations for new plants which
will locate in the new town. We are
negotiating now with several large
plants which we will secure. New
Alexandria is to be the manufacturing
site for Washington and old Alexand-
ria. Free ground, free taxes and a
liberal money donation will freely be
given to all manufacturers. When the
Richmond and Danville Railroad con-
nection shall have been made connec-
ton will be obtained with five trunk
lines, besides the cheap rates of freight
by water on the Potomac river, thereby
giving us access to reach any part of
the globe.
New Alexandria has also the advan-
tage of the Washington, Alexandria and
Mt. Vernon Railroad which runs from
old Alexandria to Mt. Vernon. The
cars run every thirty minutes. The
road will soon reach the United States
capital, landing people from New Alex
andria into the finest city in the United
States for five cents. Taking the ad-
vantage of cheap town sites at New
Alexandria with all these plants COM
ing to the new town together with those
now there, one connot fail to double
his money several times in short per-
iod. All building lots sold will have
certain restrictions. This is done to
make New Alexandria one of the most
beautiful town sites in the south.
There will be much more said about
the new town in the near future. The
Deis Manufacturing Company will also
be able to build new houses for all that
want to build. They have had life
experience in house building and fine
interior work.
The Deis Company now have the
latest equipped machines that money
can buy, and will say that they will
surprise the people at the style of
houses they will build for five hundred
to one thousand dollars. All these ad-
vantages will help to build New Alexs
andria. The Mount Vernon Railroad
Company, the Land and River In
provement Company and the Deis Com
pany have spent up to the present date
over one million dollars without offer
ing the sale of any lots. The three
companies were not depending on the
funds from the sale of lots. To build
up these enterprises New Alexandria
will not allow any boom, BY 80 doinr
