ALEXANDRIA HAPPENINGS.

Considerable commotiOn was created
yesterday by the discovery OF smoke issuing
from the plant OF the Standard OHCOmpany.
An alarm was instantly turned in, which
was responded 70 by the entire department.
The flames, owing to the Cumbust ible nature
of the buildings and surroundings, spread
rapidly, and the dense smoke from the oil
saturated boards retarded the efforts of
the firemen.
The fire was first discovered at S.45
a. M, and almost Immediately the smoke
penetrated the entire city. After several
hours of hard work the flames were con-
fined to the wagOn-huuse and buildings.
The entire plant, except the tanks, was
burned, entailing loss OF about $4,000;
no insurance.
The efforts Of the firemen, who worked
at the greatest disadvantage, owing to
the density OF the smoke. saved the tanks
and other vessels filIedwith oil and pre-
vented what might have been a disastrous
conflagration.

EXAMINATIONS IN THE GRO.
One Hundred and Fifteen Persons
Went Through the Mill.


The Civil Service Commission had whole
house full of applicants for positions in
the Government Printing Office TO eX-
anime yesterday. They began work about
$50 a, M. and number had finished
before 3 p m.
II has been understood that there was
TO be o practical test as we'll as the written
examination, but this viii be at the option
of the commissioners, and it is doubtful if
any such examination will be held. II
it should be, it win be after the candidate
is appointed to a place in the office. AS
there is general provision for six months
probation, it is believed this will be suf-
ficient A shorter probationary period,
however, is being talked of for the Print
ing Office.
The compositOrs examined yesterday num-
bered 102; the pressmen, IL; electro
typer, l stereotyper, l, and bOokbinders,
g. The subjects -Sor compositors were
photography, penmanship, letter-writing
arithmetic, and practical questions. The
other subjects varied little from these.
No one was admitted who had not served
at his trade five years, one at least being
as a jOurneyman.
The practical questions were by far the
most difficult of the series. The papers
handed in will be passed upon as soon as
possible, but it probably will be q month
before the results are known.

PER cent. of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages of the disease.
The tissues Of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circuIat-

Soon the general health begins to fail and
