THE SPRING Observation-Disclosures
The time for holding the primary cleo
ton is but little more than month OIL,
the political cauldron is boiling slowly.
Apart from the csnvass for the Mayor
atty there seems TO be but little interest
manifested. For this position there is
"a quiet, but determined effort being
made by the respective candidates for
the nomination, and each one in the
field seems sanguine of success. The
city is being thoroughly canvassed by
the friends of each and their claims pre-
sented. So far no candidates have an
nounced themselves for nomination for
the otuer offices, although it is said DIR.
A. f. Cox, who had been spoken of in
connection with the Mayoralty, but
who withdrew in favor of Mr.. w. H.
May, will enter the field against Mr..
Wesley Makeley for Measurer of Wood

YEsTERDAY.-Yesterday was an al
most ideal spring day. The sky was
clear and the sun shone bright and
warm, and so pleasant and springlike
did the atmosphere become that in
many instances overcoats and wraps
were discarded, for the first time this
year. This first warm day, giving
signs of returning spring, had the effect
of filling the streets with throngs OF
people, eager to drink in the balmy
air and bask in the bright sunshine.
Many people enjoyed drives in the
surrounding country while many others
who do not own turnouts enjoyed
walks to the country, any many others
went to Washington, while numbers
from Washington visited this city. The
churches all had large congregations at
all the services.

March O 1895

N'NA VI - NO"D'
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
| notice in your issue of March 9Th a
report stating that Mr.. Harold, OF
Washington, had offered to donate the
land and build $4,000 court house
thereon for the county, were he allow
ed to select the site. Kindly allow me
to make this correction: The gentle
man in. question is Mr.. John E. Herrell,
president of the National Capital Bank
of Washington. Two years since he
purchased the farm of Septimus Brown
located near Hunters Cross Roads, on
one of main roads of the county, and be-
ing but short distance from the centre
of the county. Should this liberal offer
be accepted the court house would be
located in most desirable position, as
it would be accessible 10 all citizens,
and there would be necessity no oil
plunging the county in debt by issuing
bonds for the purpose of building a coul
house. ANDREW SCHLEvoGT,

LUNA IN AN ECLIPsE.-The moon
last night, according to previous an
nouncement, went into total eclipse.
The streets were alive with people who
were watching the phenomena from
eiaht o'clock until late hour,
and those who attended church linger-
cd in the streets and observed the sat
elite as its surface became overshad
owed Between seven and eight
o'clock the sky was well filled with
clouds, and it looked as though the
eclipse would not be visible, but before
halfpast eight the eastern sky was
comparatively clear, and so remained
until the eclipse became total, then the
atmosphere appeared TO grow hazy. It
was the first total eclipse of the moon
which has been visible hereabouts since
November 10, 1891. There nave been
several partial eclipses in that time.
This wear there will be two total
eclpses. rather rare occurrence.
The second will occur on the night of
September 3. Astronomers do no;
consider lunar eclipse of near SO much
Importance as an eclipse of the sun,
and, consequently, few observations of
the eclipse of last night were taken.
