ANOTHER SCOW Is SUNK
Alezandrians Have Sworn to De-
stroy All Anchored in Stream.
They Are Prepared For All Conse-
tiOn OF Health Officers Navy.

Another garbage scow has been sunk
White-Winged peace has folded her pin
ions and grim-visaged war RACES anew
All this happened last evening when
the martial spirit of the Alexandrians was
aroused through the impression made upon
their olfac.ones by the proximity Of a
scow laden with Washington offal The
effluvia was so powerful, it is said, that
those whom Il struck We're almost
knocked off their pins
The scow lay in md-stream just below
Shepherds Landing Word was quickly
sent TO Ar. W. B. Dobie, the vigilant su-
pcrimeudeut Of Alexandrja's sanitary
department, and he at once ordered Capt.
Charley Kaus. oversecr OF the chain gang
10 take four men and sink the evil smelling
craft.
Quickly boarding a boat, Capt Kans
and his four adherents, armed with axes,
were rowed cut to the scow, and the de-
strOyers prepared Tor work.
TWO men Were found on board the scOw.
making ready to take it into the Maryland
shore. They We're ordered into a small
boat and told 10 make Tor Shepherds at
once
Then with their axes the chain gang
men attacked the barge and knocked big
holes ln1O her side and bottom and she
slowly sank beneath the placid waters
leaving only millions Of decay worms float
ing on the surface OF the river 10 mark the
spot where the ill-smelling craft had gone
down.
Aglow with victory the attacking party
returned TO Alexandria and reported the
result of their expedition.
The Alexandra authorities have said
that every garbage scow anchored OFF this
city would be sunk and so Tar they have
kept their word. Three scows OF Messrs
Taylor, Of Washington, are under the
waters OF the Potomac. and the authorities
are looking out for another scow TO make
il -four. an even number
The sinking of the scow WAS very quietly
done, Supt. Dobie, acting under orders
given him by ex Mayor Strauss some
weeks ago, when the trouble first com
menced.
Mayor Beckham will take the same
stand in regard TO the garbage question
and o vigorous war will be waged upoI
the scows, until the nuisance is aba1ed
They do fear the result of a suit should
one be entered against the city by the
owners OF the scows.

La Plata, Nd, July 9.-The FaTraH
murder trial has taken a-turn, and now the
State is on the defensive and the defense
on the offensive
In other words, at the session of the
court this afternoon the prosecution prac-
ticalIy closed it's case, and the defendants
attorneys made good progress in their
efforts to prove the innocence of Mrs.
FarraiI
FARRALL REFUSED MEDICINES
One Of the states witnesses, Miss
Olympia Burch, supplied the first evi-
dence in behalf of the prisoner by stating
that the night before the death of Mr.
Farran dose of mustard and water was
prepared for him by Mrs Farran, but he
did not take it,
The witness was followed by a Hughes
vile clerk, named Thomas Alvey, who tes-
titled that last November he sold Mrs
Farrall some dress goods, but was unable
to supply a spool of buuonhOle silk she
desired.
The last witness of the day was a young
Baltimore physician, Dr. Delano Ames,
enIpoyed By the defense as an expert pathoI-
ogist He gave detailed description OF
strychnine, It's symptoms, and pretty nearly
everything in any way connected with the
drug and also answered a hypothetical
question.
CONTRADICTEDD DIR. sCHAEFFER.
The testimony OF the witness in sub
stance was that, in his opinion, Nj Farrau
did not die from stryChnine poison, but from
some other cause, uraemia probably.
On several points DR.. Arnes contradicted
statements made by DR. Schaeffer, the
Washington expert, who made the au-
topsy on the body OF the alleged murdered
man.
Before closing its case the State proved
by resident OF HugiesYiIlc, named John
