THE DRUGGIsTs.-Some of the drug
gists of this city have received q very
courteous letter from Mr.. A. B. Guigon,
of Richmond, attorney for the State
Board of Pharmacy, stating that he has
been informed that some of their num-
Der are not complying with the law
which prohibits them from leaving their
stores in charge of unregistered pharma-
cists or drug clerks. Mr.. Guigon en-
closed in his letter copies of the phar'
macy law and requested strict COM
pliance with same, saying that he did
not want to be compelled to enforce
the law through legal proceedings.
The letters were received by the drug
gists in the same spirit in which they
were sent by Mr.. Guigon who will be
informed that the law will be properly
observed. The violations of the law
were, it is said, brought to the attention
of the State board by Mr.. George w.
Taylor, registered drug clerk in this
city, in letter written to the chair,
man of the board in Richmond last
week. The druggists held an informal
meeting to-day and discussed the sub
ject and will reply to MIR. Guigon's
letter.

woman named Mary Green. The in.
cendiary or incendiaries poured coal oil
on the floor and set it afre and in a

department and before much damage
bad been done the fire was extlngulsh-
ed. That Alexandria is at present IN
tested with incendiaries is patent fact
from the events of the past week: ana

FIDELITY MoNEY.-Judge Cox in
Washington listened yesterday to ar
gumeuts by Mr.. G. Hatley Norton, re-
ceiver fthe Fidelity Building and Loan
Association, in behalf Of his request tor
an order to allow him to turn over to
the jurisdiction of the United States
Circuit Court for the eastern district OF
Virginia something over $1,000 which
he has collected in Washington. he
explained that the home office of the
Fidelity and Loan Association was in
this city and that the Virginia court
had appointed him receiver for this
jurisdiction. He was certain that the
money would be equitably distributed
by the Virginia court and that such an
arrangement would be more convenient
for him. His proposition was opposed
by attorneys for several stockholders in
Washington. 1t was contended that
no such action should be taken, at least
until the Virginia court had passed a
decree which would warrant the belief
that all parties would share equitably
in the distribution. Justice Cox took
the matter under advisement.

BREAD GOES UP.-The boss bakers
of Washington held secret meeting
last evening. AS a result the whole
sale price of bread will be increased tc-
morrow morning all over Washington
and by all bakers from cents loaf,
the present price, to 4 cents loaf.
Falling off in business is given as rea-
son for the increase. The new move is
likely to be taken advantage of by the
Bakers Union in pressing their de-
mands for readjustment of the wage
scale. The journeymen bakers demand
$3.50 a day and fewer hours work.

Np BURKE WINs.-The suit of Mr..
q n Cnughtou, formerly of this city
H., n now welI-known lawyer of Wash
: Wv against Mr.. John W. Burke, of
III. riry. was the subject of decision
- ~. favor Of the latter gentleman yester-
a H. in the Court of Appeals in Wash
ION 1t was instituted by Mr..
C9nghton to recover from Mr.. Burke
Compensation for professional services
roJer an alleged contract dated May
. 1884. This was written by Mr..
raushton and stipulated to prosecute
tb- claims of Mr.. Burke, as we'll as
others who should wish to avail them
selves of the opportunity, against the
Washingtou, OHIO and Western r ill
mad for commission of 10 per cent
and an advance of $3.50. Henry Kel-
jorr. George o. Manning, Lewis Nc
Kenzie, and others, were also interest
81 The claims were on bonds issued
BY Clarke county, July %, 1858, to aid
what vas then called the Alexandria,
Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad
Company, but the railroad was sold
several times and changed in name.
Default was made in the payment of
interest in 1854, and, although the rail-
road originally guaranteed the bonds
BY mortgaging the property, there was
Subsequently a decision in the courts
holding Clarke county responsible for
their payment. Differences arose be-
tween Mr.. Claughton and his client
about payments under the alleged con-
tract, and suit at law was brought to
enforce it. The case was tried before
Justice Bradley, and the jury awarded
Mr. Claughton S1,9l1, with interest
from February, 1887, it having been
shown, among other things, that Mr..
Burke recovered through Mr.. Claugh-
TOMS efforts S6,S35 20. The Court of
Appeals reverses this verdict in an
opinion written by Justice Morris, de-
ciaring that there were certain letters,
written by Mr.. Claughton and throw
ing light upon the agreement. which
the Jury should have considered. The
court also holds that the instrument Of
May p, 1884, was not contract.
The following is the minute of the
court: No. 445. Burke VS.. Claughton;
Judgment reversed, with cost, and cause
remanded for new trial. Opinion by
Justice Morris.
Mr. Burke was represented by Mr.. Nathan
iel Wilson, of Washington, and Capt. Geo. a.
Mushbach, of this city.

ALLEGED INCENDIARIEs.-Upon in
dictments returned by the grand jury
of the District of Columbia Jas. W.
Patterson, president of the Peoples
transportation Company, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Hern and Weldon, accompanied by
several bailiff3 with a bench warrant,
upon the charge of completely in burn
ing the Lady of the Lake. Patterson
was later released, he giving $4,000
bail. The arrest was an aftermath OF
the confession of Billy Williams. The
grand jury yesterday returned indict-
ments against Charles, alias Buck Auf-
fort and William L., alias Marty Wells,
and John w. Patterson, for being &C
cessories to the burning of the steamer
Oh the 18th of last February. In Will
liams' confession these two parties were
mentioned, and ever since Detectives
Horne and Weldon have been engaged
in locking up evidence which would
connect them with the crime. Among
the witnesses examined was one who,
few evening before the fire, overheard
conversation between Wells, who
conducts saloon on NJ street south
west, and Patterson, in which the lat.
ter preached the subject and asked
where man could be secured to do
the Job. The saloon keeper is said to
have declared that he knew of such
man, and sent Auffort to see Patter-
son, who was and now is president of
the Peoples Transportation Company,
which owned the steamer. The con
fession of Williams implicated the pres
ident of the company and Auffort in
the plan, and the moment it was learn
ed. the officers located the place where
Auffort had purchased some coal oil.
