PERsoNAL.-Capt. Daniel NJ. Lee has
recovered from his rheumatism suffi-
cienly to be out. We hope Gen. Fitz
Lee may find an Office for Capt. Dan, a
good position in the revenue service,
not that we wish to lose him, but that
our loss may be his gain. All about
here would be gratified, and Gen. Fitz
would lose no friends by so doing; and
he would only be doing what all the
statesmen around Washington de-
Fredericksburg Lance.

THE CoLoRED FIREMEN.-It is said
there is now but one colored fireman
employed on the Midland branch OF
the Southern Railway, and that he is
on the southern end of the road. Two
of the three who have been acting in
that capacity were last night either de-
posed or they resigned, no one appar-
emily knowing in which manner they
were disposed of. The engineer who
refused to run his engine with a color
ed fireman some days ago was, it is
said, sent for last night and told he
would be furnished with white man
if he would take train out. The
terms were accepted and his former
fireman was placed on the engine with
him.
1t is reported that the engineers en-
ployed on the road will meet to.mor-
row to consider the matter of colort d
fremen. The talk of a strike is not
credited.

MEMORIAL DAY.-The arrangements
for celebrating Memorial Day in this
city next Friday have been about
completed and the exercises will be
about the same as have been conduct
ed on similar occasions for some years
past. Lee Camp, the military and fire
companies and some of the other uni,
formed organizations of the city will
take part in the parade and at the
monument an address will be delivered
by Rev. w. F. Dunaway, of Middle
burg. The monument will be prettily
decorated with flowers as will also the
mound in Christ Church yard. The
order of the parade has not yet been
determined upon, but little change will
be made in the programme of last year.
A choir composed of members of sew
eral of the churches will render music
for the occasion.

The market to-day was fairly well
supplied with country produce and
vegetables. Except asparagus, which
is rather higher, prices were about the
same as those OF last week. Strawber-
ries sold at from 10 to 15c box.
Much interest continues to be mani
tested in Washington in the relations OF
the District to the south bank of the
Potomac. 1t is now said that there is
a Maryland patent covering Alexander
or Holmes Island, but such patent has
never been made public. There is no
doubt that Virginia patent-that to
Capt. Robert Howsing-has covered
that island for two hundred and twen-
ty-six years.

MADE THEM MOVE ON.-Lieutenant
Smith and a squad of police were at
the Midland depot this morning when
an excursion train from Charlottesville
reached this city, and, under orders
from DR.. Miller, the Health Officer,
forbade the passengers from landing
here for the reason that smallpox has
broken out in Charlottesville. The
train a few minutes later passed on
through to Washington. The officers
boarded the train before it came to a
stop and one was stationed ut each
door of the cars. When the excursion
lists (the majority of whom were color,
ed) saw they could not land here, they
said they would go toWashington and
come back on the local trains. They
were warned not to do so. The otfi-
GERS remained on the train until it got
beyond the city's limits.

JUMPED FROM A FERRY BOAT
There was a half-hearted attempt at
suicide on the part of a young man
named John L. Furman when the ferry
steamer Columbia, from this city for
Washington, was off the mouth ct
Eastern Branch yesterday evenlne.
Furman is twepty.eight years old al d
his home is in Patchogue, L. l. He
went to Washington Friday from New
York with about So. He was in quest
of work, but as he had played the races
some in New York months ago ne
found himself in Virginia the day after
his arrival specializing on horses at the
two tracks. He lost nearly all nus
money, and Monday he started out to
secure work in Washington but found
none, and about noon yesterday ne
came to this city, where he was equal
ly unfortunate, being unable to secure
employment. His stock of money had
dwindled to S1.60, and as he rode back
on the ferry boat his dependency III
creased to such an extent that he look
ed upon the chilly waters of the Po-
tomac as the element in which to bury
himself from mundane cares. ne
wrote note stating his determination
and sprang overheard. Some one
threw life preserver to him and 1t
struck the water within foot of his
head. Instinctively he grasped it and
held to it with his little remaining
strength. The boat had stopped in the
meantime, and was backing. A mo-
ment later several men ofthe Colum-
bias crew had caught boat hooks into
Furman's clothing, and after one or
two attempts he was lifted aboard. He
seemed to be not sorry that he had at
tempted to end his life, and was not
sorry that he was still alive. When
the boat reached Washington Furmtn
was turned over to the police who will
hold him until his relatives come or
send him money with which to get
home.
