The little daughter of Mr.. Charles
Bland, who lives on the corner Of AL
fred and Cameron streets, was yester-
day playing about a fire with piece { !
cord which iguited. The blaze caught
her hair and it was only the presence
of mind of her mother, who was in an
adjoining room, that saved her from
being burned to death. Mrs. Bland
heard the little one scream, ran into
the room, threw quilt over her head
and smothered the blaze. All of the
child's hair was burned from her head
and portion of the scalp was severely
burned.
In default of bail G. G. Edwards,
charged with stealing stamps from the

was committed to Jail in that city yes

this city, say that he is away from home
on business, but that up to last night
he had received no official notice of his
discharge from the department in con-
nection with the stamp transactions.
They also say that the only charge
against him is that he bought stamps
as stamp collector, which turned out
to have been stolen, but that he was
entirely ignorant of that fact.

TRINITY REVIVAL cordial well
come always awaits Mrs. Amy Weech
when she ia announced for preaching in
Trinity M. E. Church. Last night the
same demonstration of appreciation
that has attended her discourses on FIVE
or six previous occasions was unquali-
fedly in evidence. Her text was,
'sFollow me and I will make you fishers
of men, and her main contention was
that unselfsh brotherliness is the pana-
cea for all social wrongs. Mrs. Weech
has the fascinating gift of public utter
ance, and in time there is no doubt she
will be gladly heard outside of the
boundaries of Alexandra. She has been
able to lead hundreds to nobler life in
the days that are gone, and Trinity ap-
preciates her coming into her member
ship. Nine have already signified their
purpose of entering on Christian life.

Su1c1DE OF AN ALExANDR1AN.-

SUICIDE OF AN ALEXANDRIAN.-
George Baier, well-known saloon
keeper of this city, was found dead In
lower Fairfax county yesterday. Baier
left here early Thursday morning for
hunting trip, taking q gun and pistol
along. That was the last seen of him
alive by his wife or friends. Yester-
day, Mr.. Church, who is employed on
the Hayfeld farm. south of this city,
saw man sitting on the ground with
his back against a haystack. Upon ap-
preaching he saw the man was dead.
His gun was leaning against the stack
and he had a pistol in his hand with
which be had evidently shot himself.
Baier was unknown in the neighbor-
hood and no one who at first viewed
the body could identity it. Upon
looking in his pockets a copy OF the
ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE was found
with the name George Baier" written
on the margin. Justice Kerby finally
took charge of the body and held an in
quest Oh it, the verdict of which was
that the deceased committed suicide.
Baier having been missing since
THANKSGIVING Day, when the news OF
the finding of body at Hayfeld
reached this city this morning the
missing mans family and friends were
apprehensive lest the body should
prove to his. The description given
of the dead man was that he was a
German, weighing from 160 40
pounds, nearly six feet high, sandy
mustache and fairly we'll dressed. All
this could have been said of Bsier, and
those who knew him who subsequently
looked at the body identified it as his.
Mr.. B. Wheatley went after the re-
mains and they were brought to his
home in this city this afternoon. The
deceased, it is said, had been acting in
an cratic manner for some time.
