ALEXANDRIA HAPPENINGS.

There Is a growing impression In Alex
andria that IL is about time the fire wardens
took steps To prevent the unnecessary dam
age to property by water whenever slight
fire occurs.
Yesterday evening Tommy Rust, young
son OF Capt. Manly Rust, of the Southern
Railway, while playing with matches, set
fire to a bed in front room on the sec
ond floor OF his fathers house on Prince
street. near Henry. The alarm was sounded
and in a few moments the entire depart
ment was on the ground. The whole house
was flooded with water when afew buckets
full, would have been all that was neCes
sary to extinguish the flames. The loss by
fire will be slight, but the damage by water
will amount to several hundred dollars
The loss is nearly covered by insurance.
Mr. d. w Holden, who for two years has
been superintendent of the Washington,
Alexandra, and Mount Vernon Electric Rail-
way, died yesterday evening at his home

superintendent, TO take effect to-day. Mr..
Holden was most affable gentleman and
made friends wherever he went. He leaves
wife and infant
Complaints are being made that the
contractors for the removal of night Soh
from Washington are making practice
or throwing il into the river above this

The matter is 10 be thoroughly inveStl-
gated and a watch will be kept upon the
night-soil boat, and If the charges are
found TO be true the Commissioners of the
District will be asked TO remedy 1t, or the
people OF Alexandria VIII again take the
law into their own hands, as they did IN
the garbage matter some months ago
The complaints come principally from the
captains OF vessels who fill their tanks
with fresh water from the Potomac river,
and from the OILERS and others who dip
seineS in the river.

ADO ABOUT A BURGLAR.
Policemen and Armed Citize1

Policemen and Armed GItlLens
Alarmed by Innocent Shores.
The neighborhood of Ninth and r streets
northwest about 2 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing was thrown into a state OF great excite
ment when it was discovered by Mr. E.
Phillips, on r street, that burglars were
upon his roof.
He shouted from a secOnd-story window
for the police with a voice that not only
frightened away every thief within a
radius OF three squares, but also aroused
the entire neighborhocd. When Policeman
William F. Barrett put IN an appearance
and called the patrol wagon, containing
Patrol Officer Charles Bremmerman, 10
his aid half the residents thereabOuts were
shouting and pandemOnium reigned.
After quiet had been partly restored the
policemen were piloted by a dozen citizens
to vacant house at No 913 r street,
where 1t was reported regiment Of burglars
were holding forth. An entrance was
gained and a thorough search made, but
nothing was discovered
Then deep snoring was heard in some
body's back yard. After a search the
policemen, pistols in hand, and backed up
by a dozen hatless and coatless men armed
with guns, knives, and hatchets, found the
point from Which the snore came. 1t was
shed in the rear of the row of houses
The door was forced, and a thoroughly
frightened negro came out of the darkness
He was identified as a servant about the
place and proper character, and the patrol
wagon rolled back once more to the station
house, while a score or two of citizens re-
turned 10 their beds

summer resorts in the immediate neig
hood of Bar Harbor.
Perhaps more frequently than elsewhere
Mr.. Whitney's yacht is headed for Sorrento
where, after landing, he goes direct to the
summer residence of the Secretary of War.
There he not infrcquently spends the en-
trie day or afternoon as the case may be,
Iunching or dining informally with Secretary
and Mrs. Lamont.
The conversation at such times, while
for the most part of a general nature, never
theless holds considerable import for the
political world. The eX-Secretary OF the
Navy and the Secretary of War have accom-
plished no little In this matter during the
present summer, and before they turn their
faces homeward VIII doubtless add still
more.
This plan of Mr.. Whitney and Secretary
Lamont holding important business and
political conferences together is by no means
a new one. 1t was, in fact, instituted many
years ago when, during the first Cleveland
administration, the two men, so prominent
in political life, spent their first summer
on the coast of Maine.
At that time Mr. Whitney was member
of the Presidents Cabinet, but the present
Secretary of War, although but the Presi-
dents private secretary, was hardly less
of an important political factor than now.
As such he was recog gnized by Mr.. Whitney,
who then, as now, made frequent visits
to Col Lamonts quiet place at Sorrento
for the purpose not only of enjoying the
occasion socially, but of including impor-
tant political conferences in those visits.
