THE SOUTHERN PTRCHAsE.
Rumors Of Moving the Alexandra Build
inr- Westward.

ALEXANDRIA. VA. Nov. Especial.
There is but little new In the matter
of the recent purchase Of the Southern
Railway Company in Fairfax. just west
OF the city. As yet nothing has devel-
oped but the purchase of the land and
somO stake-drving by surveyors, and
the like.
Ii is said that the engineering and con-
struction departments OF the system
have received orders 10 prepare plans so
that a fresh start may be made early
In the spring.
The eighty-odd acres recently made over
TO the company lie along the present
property beyond Stone Bridge, extend
Ing down the Pebbly Brook or Cameron
Run. 1t IS adjacent 10 and at the head
of the swamps OF Hunting creek, and
could not extend farther westward with
out taking in the unpurchasable Cameron
Mills property. or northward without
crossing the Penusy lvanias and covering
the well-buit-up and fast budding village
of West End. But across the run 10
the southwark there are hundreds of
acres OF fine dry bottom-land. now but
partly under cultivation. This could
be had at very moderate fgure-in
fact, If II is wanted. II is likely that
an option has been gotten upon ii al
ready. The recent purchase was made
through a rcal-estate firm managing
considerable property in West End. and
II is said that not until the options were
obtained did the agents know for what
purchaser or b. whom II was wanted
\ Washington report says that IL is
proposed TO tear down the shops. round
house. and depot building. and move all.
with train-yards, out across the run. and
dispose OF the city property as they see
best.
The property Just purchased by the
Southern Is very much Ike the old Trout
meadows on which the Roanoke Ma
chine Works and other large plants are
located. and II has several advantages
over the ngser-stump bottoms. 1t is
hoped the great expectations OF Old
Alexandria will now material.ze.

7. Amos. was fatally scalded yesterday
by getting under a pot Of boiling soup.
The Postal-Telegraph Gable office was
closed yesterday per instruction from
Richmond. Some years ago tax was
laid on the telegraph and express com
panies by the City Council. all of whom
refused TO pay and the courts finally de
clarcd they We're not subject TO such
tax under the rulings Of the Interstate
law. The express case was gone over by
the United States Company In several OF
the courts and won each time by The
company. though II Is said the city par
poses taking II on TO the United states
Supreme Court. The Postal Company dld
not 20 into court but has simply closed
I'M local business. The cause of this is
brought about by the Western Union
Telegraph Company and Adams Express
Company. both Of whom refused To OaN
the tax until they got formidable oppo-
sition. and then paid only under rrOtcst.
The closing of the Postal Office here
means a disadvantage 10 the town.
