AMERICAN MECHANIcs.-The regu.
lar weekly meeting of Alexandria
Council, No. SO, Junior Order United
American Mechanics, was held last
Thursday evening at I. o. o. F. Hall,
and was very largely attended, there
being present members of Belle Haven
and jackson Councils of this city. One
member received the degree Of Virtue,
Liberty and Patriotism; and two appll-
cations for membership were received
and referred to the committees for the
usual investigation. The council is
now in o very flourishing condition,
the present membership being one hun
dred and thirty-one, with ten appli-
cants on the list for initiation. The cours
Gil expects to report to the State Coun-
Gil, which meets In Danville the third
Tuesday in October, q membership of
not less than one hundred and fifty,
which will make an increase during
the present quarter of about thirty.
The anniversary of this council, which
will be celebrated by an entertainment
on next Thursday evening, the 18th
instant in I. o. o. F. Hall, and to
which the public is invited, promises
to be pronounced success, judging by
the report submitted by the committee
on arrangements at their meeting on
Thursday evening. MIR. Frank E.
Anderson, the silver-tongued orator OF
this city, will deliver an Grafton; and
some prominent members of the order
will also make addresses. The Mon.
trose Mandolin and Guitar Club Of

COMMON COUNCIL.


a fair attendance of members of the
Common Council was present when the
board was called to order and the clerk
requested to read the Mayors call for
the meeting.
Just as soon as the clerk had finished
reading the call Mr.. Uhler moved that
the Mayors communication be received
and that Council adjourn.
The motion was promptly seconded
and, on being put, but one member
voted no, and the chair declared the
meeting adjourned.
It is understood that many of the
members felt inclined not to attend the
meeting last night, as its object was
well known. They said that only two
weeks before Council had passed an
ordinance granting the Standard Oil
Company full power to erect an oil
house in this city, the only restraint
being that it should not be erected
within 200 feet of the city gas works
the most valuable piece of property
owned by the city. The recent burn
ing of the company's oil house and the
narrow escape from injury thereby to
the gas works had demonstrated that
such building should not be erected
within 200 feet of those works and the
members said there was no use
discussing the matter. Besides the
company at little expense could pur-
chase small piece of land adjoining
their property on which they can erect
their building and thus avoid all danger
of damaging other properly in case of
another fire at their works. 1t is also
said that the company did not wish to
erect a building too near their own
tanks but preferred building near the
city's property.
Many of the members also say they
are opposed to being called together in
special session to consider matters not
of interest to the city.
The members of Council all want
the company to erect their buildings
here, but want such buildings located
at safe distance from the city gas
works.
1t is understood that the oil company
this morning leased sufficient land adj
joining their property, just beyond the
200 feet limit, on which to erect build
ing, This will end the matter.
The action of Council last night has
been discussed pretty generally to-day,
but the concensus of opinion of most Of
those who understood both sides of the
question is that as Council would al
most certainly not have modified the
2o0-feet limit ordinance passed two
weeks since, no good would have re-
suited by a discussion of the matter and
that meeting of Council was unneces-
sary.
1t is now said that the oil company
does not own the property on which
their buildings stand, but lease it, and
tnat the company had no difficulty in
leasing adjoining property.

fore rebuilding in this city desired TO

read, adjourned, thereby signifying that
they did not intend to listen to any
oyertures from the company. The

desired to hear what propositions the
company had to make, but the lower
board having adjourned, they neces-
sarily followed suit.

Mayor Thompson was also present
and rendered his resignation as clerk.
In doing SO he thanked the members
for the courtesies extended him in the
past, and alluded to the pleasant even.
ings spent in the board as reporter and
clerk during the past twenty years.
Mr.. Hinken nominated Mr.. Il. h.
Knight as clerk pro tenn. and ne was
unanimously elected.
Mr.. Marbury stated that he had in
his possession an application from Mr..
Jas. r. Mansfield asking for the posi-
ton of clerk.
Mr.. Burke nominated MIR. Albert
Field.
Mr.. Hinken nominated Mr.. Daniel
r. Stansbury.
Or the first ballot Mr.. Field received
4 votes, Mr.. Stansbury 4, and Mr.. Mans
field none.
The second and third ballots stood !:
Field 4; Stansbury4.
Mr.. Smoot moved to postpone the
election, which was lost.
The fourth ballot produced the same
result.
Mr.. Davis moved that the election be
postponed until the first meeting night
in October. This motion prevailed.
At this juncture communication
was received from the Common Coun-
Gil stating that the communication of
the Mayor had been received, and that
Council mad adjourned without taking
action in the matter for which the
meeting was called.
Mr.. Sweeney moved that the COM
munication from the Mayor be re.
ceived, and his motion prevailed.
Mr.. Marbury thought that Council
should receive the representatives of
the Standard Oil Company. He believed
in the right of petition and thought all
should he accorded a hearing.
Mr.. Burke moved that the board adj
journ.
Mr.. Sweeney could see no other
course; there was nothing before the
Aldermen.
Mr.. Smoot asked the Mayor, who
was present, what the representatives
of the Standard Oil Company desired.
The Mayor stated that the company
desired an opportunity to exhibit to
the City Council the plans of their pro
posed new building in the northeast
ern part of the city. The action of the
City Council at its last meeting 10
compelling them to keep 200 feet from
the gas works, had interfered with
their plans, and they desired to exhibit
designs of the structure they intended
to erect and sac if Council after hear
ing them would deem it advisable to
adhere to their former action. The
company desired to rebuild immedi-
ately.
Mr.. Marbury moved that the Board
of Aldermen invite the representatives
into their chamber in order to hear
what statements they had to make,
and some one went out to extend the
invitation, but the gentlemen had left
the building upon the adjournment of
the Common Council. When this was
learned the Aldermen adjourned.

At 10 o'clock tho turnkey, Lariv1crc, was sent by the concierge into the cell, and to him we owe some knowledge of what passed thore Marie Antoinette said to him sadly: "Lariyiere, vous agez qu on va ma fairo mourir. Dites votre respect able mere' (the fish wifo could not have been present) "que jo la rcmorcie de ses soins, ct que je la charge 4s prier Dieu pour moi" Three judges, accompanied by the greffier Fabrieius, entered the cell. Tho queen was nee.ing in prayer against her little bed, but rose to receive the func- tionaries. They told her to attend, as her sentence was to Do read to her. She replied in firm voice: 'Such reading is use- less. l know the sentence only too well. They insisted, and the clerk read tho doc- ument.
 At that moment Henri Samson appear ed, a young man of gigantic stature. He said roughly to tho poor woman Hold out your hands," Her majesty rctreated a step and pleaded that the king had not been bound. "Fais ton devoir," cried tho judges to Samson. 70 mon Dieu!" cried tho wrotchcd queen. She thought that she was then and there to be assassinated. Samson roughly seized the shrinking hands and tied them with cruel force too tight behind her back. She looked up to heaven and tried to restrain her tears. Her hair when cut of Samson thrust into his pock- ct, and it was burned in the vcstibule.- Quarterly Review.
