with pencil in hand, requested Vivette
to give him a statement of all she had
learned of the people at Gray sulphur
Springs.

Then she looked in her reticule for

Then old Molier went to the
city clerk and asked to be
shown the list of hackney carriages in
the city, with names of owners their
residence and the number assigned to
each carriage. Finding No. 20, he
went to Walnut street, found the hack
and the owner, and also learned that
the driver who had been driving when
Adolf and Vivette had entered the car

he was an expert driver and familiar
with horses.
Vivette spent the evening alone with

tor on Saturday evening met all by
themselves and resolved, "That this

gress to permit the Washington, Alex

with It's tracks the entire northern
boundary ofsaid Potomac flats, and to
otherwise secure privileges and vested
rights therein; and therefore this COM

the Washington board OF trade are real
estate spectators who own property
north of the river and are determined,
as far as possible, to restrict commune
cation between Washington and this

lands will not be thrown on the market
in competition with theirs, which they
hold at fabulous prices.

GROWING INPATIENT The large
aud, in fact, great many Of the small
ec business houses in this city have
grown so impatient at the failure of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
build Il passenger depot here; as well
as one for more convenient handling Of
freight, that during the past six wccl s
merchandise, grain, hay, feed, flour,
etc, have been purchased from north
err and western firms direct, and
through brokers, with the distinct I'M
Outstanding that shipments must he
made via other than the Pennsylvania
line, and it is estimated that freight
bills amounting TO nearly twenty thou
sand dollars have been paid. 1t is
stated further that there is a disorimi-
nation Of 8 cents per hundred pounds
on sugar in favor of Fredericksburg,
the rate to Alexandria being 80 cents
and to Fredericksburg-60 miles farther
south-29 cents. The dissatisfaction is
growing every day, and merchants and
others say the railroad company gen
orally ignores resolutions from the
Beard Of Trade or remonstrances from
committees, and the only course left is
for business to ignore the railroad and
patronize other carriers.
