OUrs FOREIGN POLICY.

The selection Of Acknowledgement
Olney to succeed the late Secretary of
State Gresham is an assurance that
there is to be no change III the coun.
try's foreign policy for the next two
yeare. 1t is we'll known that the policy
of Mr.. Gresham had the unqualified
approval of President Cleveland and
that the Acknowledgement, was in full
accord with the action of the Secretary
in all his dealings with international
questions, hence the conclusion that
there lie to be 10 change in the policy
Of the administration.
The New York Journal OF Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin in writing on
this line takes occasion to say that the
administration has been prompt by
diplomacy and the presence OF war.

real American interests, but it has dis.
couraged every kind of international
adventure. and as the late Secretary of
state has been succeeded by tine Presi

past two years, it is plain that there
il to be no change in the construction
OF international law and of orr re.
probabilities to other nations, whether
ON this continent or on other CONT.
nents.
Our contemporary is right. Besides,
none but those devoid of reason can
IND fault with the course of the adj.
minlstration in its foreign policy. The
transfer OF MIR. Olney from the De-
partment of Justice to the Department
OF State means a continuance of that
policy from which the country has al.
ready derived SO many benefits.

One brilliant with her raven hair,
Ono sweet and shy of speech.

"And ] for wealth a2d courtly life"

The Fire Department.

Inc Flfe department.
Our fire department has always been the
pride of Alexandrians, andrustly so. because
it has shown its efficiency repeatedly; but OF
late years there have been so few fires that
when one such az that at the cracker factory
on Saturday night last occurs. and succeeds in
getting the best of the fremen, the 'croak-
ers' are loud in their denunciatiOn of the
way in which it was handled Having heard
numerous remarks of this character in the
past few days, would like to explain some
reasons for the destruction of this building
that are unknown to the general public.
First The water supply was insufficient for
at least half an hour. Second. The wardens
having arranged that one engine should be
conveyed to the scene of d confiagration by
four horses, the other engine should not have
been put into service, especially on the same
street; the fist engine having been drawn to
a fire plug by the horses, that engine should
undoubtedly have been given the right Of
way and allowed to get all the water pressure
possible. Had this been done the fire might
have been checked before it had gone too far.
Third. The hook and ladder truck was
thrown out of service for repairs in season
when fires are m0re liable to occur than in
the summer time and the ladders furnished
for use are unfit for such work, thereby pre-
venting the fremen getting into position to
drive back the dcvouring element, the man
ner in which the streams had to be thrown,
after sufficient water was obtained being cal
culated to cause fire to spread instead of
heading it of. That the men did all in their
power, with the odds against them, cannot be
denied by any reasonable thinking person,
and if there is any blame let it bs laid upon
those who deserve it

HER OWN WoRK.-Luray was great
ly shocked to hear of the death of Mrs.
w. d. Bohannon, at her home, in that
place. Mrs. Bohannon requested to be
allowed to remain undisturbed in her
room Saturday morning, as she was not
feeling very well, but her husband left
her in good spirits and as cheerful as
usual. On his return to the house
about l o'clock, he was surprised to
learn that his wife had not yet arisen,
and on going to her chamber found her
still in bed. He attempted to arouse
her, but found that she was dead. AS
may be supposed, he was greatly
shocked and grieved at the discovery.
Life had probably been extinct for two
hours or more. In table drawer q
letter was found, written few weeks
ago by the deceased, to her husband,
expressing some intention to take her
own life, and scrap Of paper in her
own handwriting, on which was
written "This is my own work; did
it myself" A box of patent pills was
also found, portion of which had been
taken, and was doubtless the cause of
her death. Mr.. aud Mrs. Bohannon
were married last July, and have lived
happily together since, and last night
member of the family heard them
laughing and talking with each other
in their room. Mrs. Bohannon was
about % years of age, and was very
handsome and attractive. She was
daughter of Hon. William A. Harris, q
member of Congress from the State Of
Kansas, and has number of relatives
living in Page county.

A SCENE IN CoURT-A wild scene
occurred in Part Ill, general sessions,
10 New York, on Saturday, when Mrs.
I2a Lieberman was convicted of arson
in the second degree. The jury had
been out all night, The woman sat as
if stunned when the verdict was an
nounced. Two children, pretty little
girl, and boy of six years, were at her
knees. Then she fell in q historical fit,
without uttering word. One of the
Toombs missionaries, who was by her
side, held the woman's head. A court
officer rushed for glass of water.
Mrs. Lieberman soon recovered, and
began to shrek in a jargon of German
and Hebrew, 81 am not guilty! l am
not guilty." Just then there was an
uproar behind the last row of seats.
The woman's 5 mother and two brothers
fell in historical fits and scratched and
bit at every one near them. They
were carried bodily out of the room.
Ore of the brothers tried TO jump over
the rail to the main floor, forty feet be-
low. He was focibly restrained. The
court room was the scene of great ex-
citement. Judge MARITIME raped vainly
for order. Mrs. LieAerman's shrieks
echoed through the building. Nervous
spectators cried with her. Outside,
the old mother and two brothers strug-
gled with the courts officers and added
their frantic screams to the general din.
The prisoner was led from the court
room after her lawyer had made mo-
ton for new trial. AS she was carried
out of the court room and across the
bridge, she never once stopped scream
ing.
The crime for which Mrs. Lieberman
was convicted was that of setting fire TO
her apartment on the top floor of the
fve-story tenement house, 52l east
Twelfth street, on December Is last.
Her goods were insured Tor 500. and
were not worth 500. She is not i'll.
