DEATH OF Mr.. AMOS B. SLAYMAKER.
The many friends and acquaintance of
this well-known gentleman will regret
to hear of his death which occurred at
his home on south Pitt street at an
early hour this afternoon. The de-
ceased had been i'll for several weeks
past, being sufferer from some chron-
ic disorder which it was found would
terminate fatally. Mr.. Slaymaker
came to this city in early life, and at
the breaking out of the war was a
member of the Sixth Virginia Cavalry,
then stationed in this city. He follow
ed the fortunes of the Confederacy dur
ing the four years which followed, and
at the close of hostilities took up his
residence in the Valley of Virginia
where he engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. About twenty years ago he re
turned to Alexandria and became a
member of the old firm of Wilmer &
Slaymaker. Later he engaged in the
dry goods business under his own
name and conducted the same up to
his death Mr. Slaymaker was in the
60th year of his age. He had been
married twice, his second wife, who
survives him, being daughter of the
late Mr.. Benedict Milburn.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.-There
was a we'll attended meeting OF the
Board of Trade last night, called for
the purpose of taking action on the
suggestion made in the GAZETTE last
week for the appointment OF commit
tee to proceed to Durham, y; O., ana
present the advantages AleXanaria
possesses as a site for the plant OF the
Duke branch of the American Tobacco
Company which contemplates remov
ing from Durham.
MIR. F. A. Reed explained the object
ofthe meeting, and Mr.. Alfred II. Thorn
son read letters he had received from
his brother, who is the treasurer CT the
plant, in which it was shown the COM
pany had been considering Alexandria
as suitable site for their factory.
President Reed succinctly showed the
advantages Alexandria possesses ior
such an enterprise-deep water, the
best railroad facilities, contigulty to the
national capital, &c.
Mayor Strauss suggested that COM
mittee be appointed to enter INTO cor
respondence with the Messrs. Duke.
The President suggested that there
was committee on manufactures, the
chairman of which was Mr.. J. q. Beck
nam. who could attend to the matter.
Mr.. i5eckham moved that this conf
mittoe see Mr.. Duke, who would pass
through this city shortly, personally
and urge the advantages Alexandra
possesses.
Mr.. George w. Fisher thought the
more practical procedure would be TO
appoint committee to visit Durham
aud lay the city's claims before the
company. He moved that a committee
of four be appointed for that purpose.
Mr.. j. Il. Cation seconded Mr.. f!sner 5
motion. and thought the step was one
IN tie right direction.
Mayor Strauss still thought the boarG
should enter into correspondence with
the owners of the plant, and saw no
use in the expenditure of the money
necessary to send committee to Dur
ham.
The President (Sice-President Noble
Lindsey in the chair) supported NJ.
Fishers motion, aud said correspon-
deuce would not accomplish as much as
personal interview.
1t was finally determined tc send a
committee and Messrs. Charles King,
Alfred H. Thomson, James r. Cation
and A. d. Brockett were appointed.
After some business Of no public ln-
terest had been transacted the board
adjourned.

DIR. McKMl ON SOCIAL PURITY.-An
address on purity was delivered on
Sunday afternoon by Rev. DR.. McKim,
the rector of the Epiphany Church,
Washington, before the usual Sunday
afternoon meeting for men at the y.
NJ. G. A. He advocated a new standard
of purity, and said that there should be
one law for men and women. He said
that it was the law of society that the
woman should be held as an infamous
outcast, while the man goes back into
decent society, having lost no standing
by reason of his sin. He said that Re
did not think that this was just. He
appealed to the audience to unite with
the White Cross Army, and all of those
present arose and repeated the promise
of the army to assist in the work.

RAISING THE EVA BELLE CAIN

RAISING THE EVA BELLE CAIN.-An
attempt was made Sunday 10 raise the
tug Eva Belle Cain. which was sunk
near Watts's mill wharf, Georgetown,
last week, but on account of the rain
the work was abandoned. Heavy
chains were fastened under the bow
and stern, and, with two heavy scows
for purchase, the work of raising will
be comparatively easy. The work OF
raising was in progress again yesterday
and the boat was raised to the top of
the water. The work will be complet
ed to-day. When the boat sunk the
yawl, containing a good deal of proper
ty, was washed away and later found
moored at Analostan Island, half sunk,
with the goods gone. The police are
looking for the robbers.
