COUNTY LANDS.

Those who are interested in real es-
tate in Virginia, or who are more
broadly concerned in anything which
tends to the development of the city
and its surroundings, have heard no
doubt with great deal Of interest of
the proposed completion of the electric
road from Alexandria to the end of the
Aqueduct bridge. In connection with
this bit OF information it is also stated
that it is contemplated to revive the
road to Arlington, and that the Aque-
duct bridge piers will be used for street
railroad tracks.
If the plans are carried out and the
expectations are realized, there will be
established between the Virginia side
of the Potomac and the Washington
side rapid and easy mode of COM
munication. 1t will be the realization
of efforts which have been made for
number of years past, and no doubt it
will result is as much benefit as the
projectors and advocates of improved
facilities of Communication between
Virginia and the District have always
maintained would follow their adop-
tion. Virginia, as, indeed, all the ter
ritory contiguous to the city, will be
benefited as the center of population
expands.
There seems to be no reason why the
overflow of population from this city
should not find its way into Virginia as
we'll as into Maryland. Already the
suburbs of Washington extend for
long distance into Maryland, and also
to some extent into Virginia. 1t is be-
lieved that the advantages of home in
Virginia, as well as of owning property
there, will be more highly appreciated
by the residents of this city when there
are definite methods of communication
which are rapid and at the same time
inexpensive.
To those who are not familiar with
the development Of the city in recent
years is might seem to be somewhat
presumptuous to expect such an ex-
pansion. of population as would require
room for growth in the adjoining
States, but, nevertheless, the populs-
ton which belongs to Washington and
is dependent upon this city has already
spread itself out over large area of
both Virginia and Maryland, aud it is
very evident that this movement will
continue in the future.-Wash. Star.

chilliness, but in few minutes, there is
a most delicious feeling of warmth, and
the blood seems to flow from the over

of the patients could go to sleep with

A GIRLS ALPINE ADvENTURE.-The

account of an accident on the Alps
to young lady, Hulda Won
Steiger, II years old, who, because
she had sprained her foot, in
sisted during an ascent of the Gsur in
sliding in sitting posture, down deep
snow field, instead of pursuing the
rough descent over the rocks. Miss
Hulda had scarcely started when she
disappeared from the sight of her com
panion's. After all hours search her
companions saw hand sticking out Of
snow-filled hole in the rocks, One Of
them, Mr.. T., hurried down to Aide
boden to seek for help, while the other,
lady from north Germany, kept
watch on the spot. There she passed
the long hours of the rainy evening.
Mr.. t., at the village of Adelboden, for
tunatey found DR.. Dubois, of Berne.
They started with some guides and an
apparatus for lifting the unhappy girl
out of the ravine. They reached the
place after midnight, and it was with
great difficulty that the ropes were fas
tened round the unconscious girl to lift
her to the surface. She was seriously
wounded on the head, but none Of her
limbs were broken. She lies in quiet
peasants house, sometimes conscious,
sometimes in delirium, and it is not
certain whether her life can be saved.
