THE PROPOSED SHoPs.-The South
ern Railway Company is said to be
anxious to commence the erection Of
their new buildings on their land ad
Joining Alexandria as soon as possible,
and to that end are endeavoring TO &C
celerate those to whom the work has
been entrusted. Diagrams of the
structures have been prepared and
everything in connection with the pro-
posed improvements is being pushed.
The round house is to contain twenty
bags or stalls, for locomotives. The
structure is to have steel frames with
an inside area of 1S6 feet D inches,
while that of the outside will be 326
feet p inches. The smith, wood work
aud Car shop will be 90x160 feet. This
is to have steel frames also, and it will
be fitted up with all the modern ma
chinery and appliances. The machine
shop, which will be framed in
steel also, will be 100x164 feet,
and the boiler house, which is to be
constructed in the same manner, will
42x50 feet. All the bulldogs are to b.
constructed in part of mild steel and ia
the most modern style. All the plans.
as stated above, have been perfected,
aud it seems by the advent OF spring
the hum of machinery and clink OF
hammers will be heard upon the fields
southwest of this city instead OF the
cav" of crows as heretofore.

IN sIEMoRIANI.

At the Garfield Hospital, Washington, D. c.,
MAMIE c., daughter of the late E. W. and
Sarah Massie, of Clarke county, departed this
life November 81, 1895. 1t is not enough
that the simple fact of this young iady's
death should bs recorded: something more
than sad void in the household has been
made by this visitation of Providence. Grief
over such loss cannot be confined to the
family circle. Mamie will live in the afec.
Tomato memory of all who knew her and
were capable of approaching the noblcst trsits
of human nature. Her gentleness aud amia-
bility, her kind and considerate regard for
the feelings and we'll being of others were
themes of admiration among her friends.
Her bright and cheerful lace and fervent
Christian spirit will long be remembered By
those so accustomed to meet her in church
and her own happy home, where dark
shadow has fallen never to be removed
Thank God for memory and hope-the one
to comfort ard the other to cheer US or until
heavenly reunion awaits US. xxx

MAsoNIc-The regular communica-
zion of Alexandria Washington Lodge
last night was very interesting affair.
The occasion was the visitation of Dis
tiict Deputy Grand Master K. Kemper,
who delivered an entertaining address,
describing his recent visitations to the
various lodges in the district. Past
Master A. G. Uhler, in few appro-
pirate remarks, added to the many in
teresting relics now in the possession Of
the lodge by presenting it with the
original deed of the present site of the
Masonic Temple in this city. The deco
is dated 1902. Past Master Uhler also
presented the lodge with an antique
sheepskin apron which at one time was
worn by his wife's father, who
lived in West Virginia when that part
of the country was part of the Old
Dominion. Past Master W. NJ. Smith
exhibited and presented to the
lodge a copy Of the ALEXANDRIA
GAZETTE dated December "a, 1875,
which contained a notice to the mem
bers of Alexandria Washington Lodge
TO attend services on the following Sun
day in Christ Church. The donor in
presenting the relic of by-gone days
made short but interesting address, in
which he spoke of the GAZETTE in COM
plimentary terms, saying it had been
the real history of the city from Colon
ial days and was an institution which
had survived wars and fires and faith
fully kept up the unbroken annals of
Alexandria down to our time. The pa
per also contained copy of letter
written by General Washington. The
relics were received on behalf of the
lodge by District Deputy Grand Master
Kemper in neat and fitting terms.
Later the work of the third degree was
exemplified.

ROBERT SLATER HELD.-Robert
81 er, otherwise known as Robert
Odell, VINO was arrested on Wednesday
nisht by Detective Ward at the request
VI the Virginia authorities, was yester-
day given hearing before Justice DON
itvin and held for the action of the Vir-
yinia authorities. Chief W. G. Bald
win, of the Virginia State detective
force, was present, and stated that
Slater was under Indictment in Alexan-
dria county for running large gamb-
ling house at Rosslyn, near George
town. This place was raided some
time ago and several persons were ar
rested, but all except the principals were
discharged. Slater, he said, escaped at
the time. Marshal Frey, Captain
Freeburger and number of detectives
were present at the hearing. Slater
was represented by two attorneys, and
large number of his friends we're pres
ent. Captain Freeburger said Govern
or Brown had received telegram from
Governor O'Ferrall, of Virginia, re-
questing that Slater be held until
requisition could be forwarded. Later
in the afternoon Governor O'Ferrall
telegraphed again, stating that the
reousition had been forwarded. Cap
tain Freeburger said that when Slater
was first arrested he had expressed
willingness to go to Virginia without
requisition, and had been released on
bail by Justice Murray. Later he had
decided that he would not go without
the requisition. Justice Donavin de-
cided that he could not admit the &C
cused to bail, and Slater's counsel said
they would apply for writ of habeas
corpus.-Boltimor american.
Commonweslth's Attorney Marbury
says Slater will be held in Baltimore
until the county authorities send for
him.

CHICKEN THIEvEs.-Chicken thieves,
who, by the way, are always at work
in some quarter OF the city, are annoy
ing residents of the southwestern part
of Alexandria by depredations upon
roosts, Mr.. Frank Evans being the
last victim. Speaking of chicken
thieves in that neighborhood this
morning it was stated that such char
acters always steered clear of the
Travis residence, on Henry street, for
the reason that on one occasion the
late Captain Travis surprised two ne
groes among his turkeys and with
double barreled gun killed one named
Griffin and wounded another, who es-
capped. The history of this occurrence
after the lapse of over sixty years has
come down to the present generation
of negroes, and it is related as fact
that al the close of the war two dar
keys were overheard talking of robbinp
hen roosts, when one of them glanced
at the other and remarked You'd bet
ter keep away from dar" (pointing
at the captains house, killed
dar once.n In this Gay, although hen
houses are robbed all around it, that in
the yard of Mr.. Travis is never
touched. Charles Washington was
generally believed to have been Crit
fms companion, and many middle
aged men will remember how when
boys they were accustomed to plague
the old darkey and sing songs relating
to his alleged inglorious adventure.
The old fellow generally took tie
taunts good-naturedly. He had ~
some means lost an eye, and some be-
Iieved its sight was destroyed by Cap
tain Travis's gun. A member of the
family, however, says Washington
was innocent of the charge, although
he always bore the odium oft.

 animal, more eventful than he himself | is aware of. Friday he was under sem tence of death Then came a reprieves A trial by jury resulted in a suspension
 of execution. The ordinary course of things was re- versed in this case. Usually the cry of mad dog is raised, the dog is killed on the spot, and then it is too late for a scientific inquiry into the matter. 10 make the case more remarkable the dog had attacked and frightfully bitten

 Friday afternoon, George, the nine year-old son of Dr. Palmer, 6s1 Wash ington boulevard, was playing in the alley in the rear of his fathers house, Near by. In MT. Stein's yard, was the dog. According to the boys story, he was running past the gate when the dog sprang upon him and knocked him down. No reason for the attack is as- signed. The dog has not been able to make it's side of the story clear. Mir. Stein thinks there are two sides to 1t, k Anyhow the. boy was badly injured be- fore he was rescued. A big piece was taken out of one of his legs.

The dog had been condemned to die that night It happens Dr. Boyd is a great lover of dogs. He determined to save this dogs life. The owner of the dog was only too willing to be con- vinced. Not so the father of the boy. Finally the boys relatives agreed to Dr. Boyd's suggestion to send for Dr. Lago- rio of the Chicago Pasteur Institute.
 Dr. Lagorio is a sworn enemy to thsSl practice of killing a dog simply becausee it has bitten somebody. Often the dog& is not to blame, and more frequently# killing it interferes with the diagnosis of alleged cases of hydrophobia follow ing dog bites.
 Yesterday morning a jury, consisting of Dr. Lagorio Dr. Boyd and Dr. Pal mer, met in MT. Stein's back yard and gravely considered the appeal for elem ency entered on behalf of the Grea Dane.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages affecting eyes, ears and throat, and in fact, the great enemy of the mucou membrane. Neglected colds in the hea almost invariably precede catarrh, caus ing an excessive flow of mucous, an
 if the mucous discharge becomes inter rupted the disagreeable results of ca tarrh will follow, such as bad breath severe pain across forehead and abou the eyes, a roaring and buzzing soun' in the ears and oftentimes a very o1 fensive discharge.
