Tho Investigating Committee.

The investigating Committee.
In your issue of Thursday, the
3rd inst, I noticed the remarks made
by Mr.. Evans, viz: "This thing is more
of a fizzle than thought it was" now
who is to be blamed for it? Do the
members of this comm ittee mean for
the people of Alexandria to understand
that they are ignorant of the evil exist
ing viii hin the corporate limits of Alex
andria?
OF course we will have to give them
the benefit of all doubts and say they
acted with all the energy they could
arouse within themselves and with the
utmost perseverance and in all to the
best of their ability and being men of
pronounced ability, we are left to infer
that there is no continual existing evil
in Alexandria, but still one cannot
help hearing rumors concerning the
evil here existing, and when they come
from reliable authority we cannot read.
lily doubt them; but still the committee
says they are not here and that we
might have doubted our reliable auth.
critics.
% / think it would have reflected more
upon the pronounced ability of the
members of that committee had they
organized a society Isecret, of course,l
composed of about twenty reliable and
prominent citizens, each having pledg-
ed himself to obtain evidence. In that
way good could have been accomplish
ed and the proposer of the resolution in
the Common Council would have been
honored instead of being laughed at.
Some will ask, What is the use of a
society in getting evidence? For the
benefit of those will say thai you can't
get frequenter of a policy shop or
poker room to testify against the pro-
prietor; so the only way to do is to get
some persons to go, SO they can testify
against the place: and no one will do
this except detective, and the COM
mittee is too poor to engage one.
I hear that it is rumored that you can
leave the police station on night when
the thermometer registers zero, without
having an o7ercoat on, and 20 in two
poker rooms before you become chilled.

NEWPORT, Ark, Jan. At Martin
plantation, near Newport, Samuel
Swims and James Fields were rivals
for the hand of Alice, the daughter OF
Mrs. Mary Cooper. A week ago to-
night Fields and Alice were married.
Early Saturday night Swims, armed
with shotgun, appeared at the home
of Fields and his bride, burst open the
door and levelled his gun at Fields,
commanding him to throw up his
hands. Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Fields
sprang between the gun and the OBJ
lect of its aim, each receiving the con-
tents of one barrel. Mrs. Cooper died
almost instantly and Mrs. Fields
lived about six hours. Swims claims
that the gun was accidentally discharg-
ed and that Fields had drawn pistol
on him.

THE GAZETTE.-On Tuesday the ALEXAS.
DRIA GAZETTE entered its seth year While
we do not always agree with its opinions. VIC
regard it as one of the best newspapers pub
lished in the State. In fact, we know of no
newspaper that gives more news in SO small
compass. 1t boldly maintains its principles
and this feature we admire, whether We agree
with its views or not. 1t is 3 poor newspaper
that doesn't possess the courage Of its conyic-
tio-s. We tender our esteemed contemporary
the compliments of the season and wish for it
manv moro years of usefulness and prosperity.

APPoRTIoNING THE MILITARY FUND
The Military Board held session at the E1-
ecutiye Mansion in Richmond on Friday
evening and disposed Of good ceal of rou-
tine business. The most important business
was the distribution OF the military fund for
the present year.
I It was decided to allow the following
amounts: 81 per man for infantry COM
panies and $3.50 per man for cavalry troops
and batteries Of artilley. based on the reports
of attendance at the annual inspection; 500
for brigade headquarters; $50 for headquar-
tiers of each regiment; $50 for headquarters
of each battalion. 1t was also decided to send
the checks for the various companies through
the regular cham Is directly TO the com.
handing captains of tho regiments, and not
to the colonels as had been dQne heretofore.
This action is rather significant in view of
the fact that one of the complaints made by
line officers of the First regiment against Col.
Jones, sets forth that he has been handling
all the money, and that the company officers
had no say in the matter.
At a previous me,t ting the board decided to
allow an additional dollar per officer and en-
listed men to the organizations that made 100
per cent in attendance OF the last annual in
spection. These organizations were Compa-
pauies A and B ofthe Blues battalion, Battery
A Richmond Howitzersl. Troop 3, First regi
~ ant cavalry (Surry), and Company A, Third

A JUDGE in New York has decided
that the power of the legislature to
provide for the necessary travelling ex-
penses of public officers, while engaged
in public business, should not be abol-
isbed. AS members Of the legislature
are public officers, and as necessary
travelling expenses include railway
fare to the capital of their State, and
back, the provision of the new consti-
tuition thereof, prohibiting them from
accepting free passes, will amount to
nothing, and free passes probably will
be as plentiful among them as ever.
But the election has been held.

MoRGANFIELD.-Wo was received
by the Adams Express officials in Wash
ington Saturday that one victory had
been won by them in the case against
Charles A. Morgan6eld, the alleged
Aqua creek train robber, arrested at
Cincinnati.
In the suit of the express company
against Morganfeld to recover 81 300,
the amount found on his person wien
captured, Judge Kumler overru ed
the demurrer of Morganfeld. The
money is claimed by the company to be
part of the booty obtained by the rob-
bers on the night of the hold-up, and
the plea of the defense was that the ex-
press company had not the legal capa
city to sue, for the reason that, being a
partnership, it had not filed certifi-
cate with the county clerk as required
by law. Judge Kumler's decision gives
the company the legal capacity to pro-
coed with the suit to recover.
A number of the express officials and
employees will leave Washington to-
morrow for Cincinnati to be present
and testify Thursday at the hearing Of
Morganfeld's application for release on
writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Evans. Commonwealth Attorney While
and Sheriff Kennedy, ofStafford county.
will also be present. The application
upon which the hearing will be made
is directed against the sheriff of Hamil-
ton county. Ohio, in whose custody
Morganfeld was placed by Chief of Pc
lice Deitsch.
A hard fight will be made by the
prisoners attorneys, who will endeavor
to prove that MorpanGelG was not in
Virginia on the night of the robbery.

THE PEOPLE of Georgia have author
lied the legislature of that State TO lay

by the enormous sums required by the

the nation of that great trouble, by fol-
lowing so laudable an example, and

ACCORDING TO New York law, the
streets of that city must remain filthy
and unwholesome unless there be
enough bona fde citizens of the
city to keep them clean. There may
be thousands of other people eager for
the work, but they are told to "go
starye," while the streets remain dis
gushing and the death rate increases,
until men, with the proud right" to
vote there, muster up enough energy to
apply for work, which sad experience
proves they are too lazy to do, that is
satisfactorily.

BOLD BURGLARs.-Six bold burg
lars, who are probably safe now in
New York city, invaded Westport,
Conn.,, early Sunday morning, armed
with revolvers, Jimmie" and stock
of dynamite, and spent three hours in
attempting to carry off everything of
value in the place. They broke into
the postoflice and two stores, forced
the safe doors by means of an explo
sive, and got away in safety with some
hundreds of dollars, big amount in
certified checks, stamps enough to last
them for the balance of the new year
and wagon load of general merchan-
disc, chiefly weapons of war and arti-
cles of personal adornment. All this
happened after the village police force,
in the person of Night Waterman
'Bill" Murphy had been marched
mile from the scene Of operations at the
muzzle of a revolver and tethered to a
tree. The thieves were subsequently
captured.
