The breathing machine consists Of

containing glycerine. Tho air is first

glycerine, and between these are layers
of bono black or animal charcoal.
The two outside cylinders are filled
with these substances, and after the

passes through the glycerine for final
washing. BY this time it has not only
been cleared of smoke and other inn
purities, but t has also been cooled
and is in At condition to be breathed
into the lungs. The fireman using this
apparatus also wears = pair Of clamps,
which are placed on the nose SO as to
close the nostrils, SO that all the air

neatly dressed young woman, who
represented herself to be Bertha Penn,
were seen walking to and fro on Royal
street in front of the Market building.
evidently perplexed and seemingly dis
trustful of those whose attention they
attracted, and after time they wend-
ed there way to King and Fairfax
streets where, accosting a citizen, they
requested him to accompany them TO
the clerks office and witness their mar
riage. The citizen complied, but on ar
irving at their destination he discover
ed that they were in quest of a mar,
riage license and, as the intended bride
gave her age as Is years, the clerk in
formed her it would be necessary for
her to obtain the consent other parents
or guardian. She produced paper to
that effect purporting TO be signed by
her father and desired the citizen who
accompanied them to witness the sigma;
ture. This he could not do, and the
couple left the Office, proceeded to the

turn about Z o'clock hand in hand AMI

CoLoKED FIREMEN.-lt IS now be-
,;.y.i in railroad circles that it is the
nolicy of the present managers of the
lonrhern Raiiway'o put colored fire.
,oen on all the engines of the Virginia
Midland branch OF that system. Mr..
Thomas the master mechanic, when
Interviewed in regard to the matter a
t-w DAYS ago said the white men would
not he deposed 10 make room Tor color
81 employees, but did not deny the re-
nort that the latter class was to be util-
led. Tnis mornng it is reported that
y white man who has been firing on
the road for some time appeared at the
depot with his lunch basket for the
purpose of making trip and found
colored man in the cab of the engine
engaged in stocking. The white man
realized the fact that his occupation
was gone and went home. A few
mornings ago an engineer who had
been in the employ of the company for
about quarter of century went to
the depot for the purpose of taking out
9 passenger train and found colored
fireman had been deputized to be his
companion on the trip. He objected
and urged his remonstrance to the
proper official and was asked what he
doing about the matter, as it
would be but a question of time when
all fireman would be colored men. The
engineer retorted by saying he could
resign his position, aud he did so. A
bunch of negroes from Washington ar
rived here Yesterday on a local train.
1t was noticed that they were earnestly
discussing some subject and former
employee of the Midland company ap-
preached near enough to overhear part
Of their conversation. The substance
Of it was that they were committee
sent from Washington by meeting OF
their race to come here and urge upon
the officials of the company the impor-
lance OF carrying out the orders of the
of the Southern Railway
Company by displacing the white with
colored iiremen on the Midland branch.
They were also heard to say that if
couldn't furnish enough
colored men for the work Washington
could. The white firemeD, who are
paid by the mile, now earns it is said,
from fifty to seventy-five dollars per
month. They colored men who are be-
ing employed get so much month,
some say $50, and work in the yard or
with the understanding
that they are to act as fireman when
needed.

CANTON ALEXANDRIA FAIR.-Tho
fair which began Monday night at Odd
Fellows Hall, on north Columbus
street. for the benefit of Canton Alex
andria. I. O. o. F., continues to in
crease in interest. The attendance last
night was very good and the interest
manifested by the ladies for the several
articles on exhibition is eQualed BY the
enthusiasm resulting from the efforts
of the lady and gentleman contestants
for the different articles that are beng
voted for. The handsome silver tea
service, to be ratified at twenty-five cents
chance, attracts much attention, as
does the high grade pneumatic tire b.
cycle, another article to be ratified. The
fine breech- loading gun is looked upon
wstfully by the followers of Nimrod.
and the diamond ring and lady's gold
watch attracts much notice from the
ladies. The Patriarch Militant uniform
bids fair to be the cause of q hotly-con-
tested campaign among the brother
Patriarchs before its ownership is as
certaiued. The hall is beautifully &C.
corated and, with the ladies, presents
a beautiful picture. Music and dancing
is INDUCED in until late hour each
night.
