who advocate the expenditure Of so much
time and money on the few go into the
streets and alleys, visit the masses Of our

try to estimate their actual scholastic ten

burg, S. c., died yesterday at the In
Urinary from complication of diseases.
She came here few months since to
visit Mrs. w. NJ. King, on Payne street,
and was taken i'll soon after her arrival.
A short time since she was taken to
the Infirmary, where it was hoped,
with experienced and careful nursing,
she might recover, but such hope
proved to be futile. The funeral took
place this morning from the residence
of Capt. King. Mr. Payne, the little
girls father, arrived here few mo-
ments before his daughters death and
to-day received a telegram saying that
mis- little son was thought to be dying
at home.
Mrs. Jos. II. Burgess, nee Miss Mary
Pet Wright, of this city, died at her
home in Lynchburg, yesterday. Her
remains were brought 10 this city to day
snd will be inferred from the residence
of her mother, on south Pitt street.

WASHINGTON. D. c.
was cut during a fisht at West End.

At the M. P. Church last night Rev
Mr.. Benson preached the first of his
series of sermons. His theme last nigl t
was the Sunday Newspaper" which
he strongly condemned as being un-
necessary and dangerous, as weaken
ing the observance Of the Sabbath, and
having deteriorating influence on the
young.
A deranged negro confined in the
city Jail came very near causing an
alarm of fire by his SHOUTS and yells
Yesterday morning. Residents of the
neighborhood of the Jail thought that
the building was on fire, and were
about to send in an alarm when one
of the Jail officials came out and told
them that there was no fire, that the
cries they heard were those of Banks,
who was preaching.
On Saturday evening about 4:30
o'clock 8 telephone message came to
the police station from the new power
house of the electric railway near oui :
mile run requesting that officers be sent
out there to drive off party OF men
who were running game of crap and
a shell game at the same time on the
railway company's property, and would
not leave when ordered. As the powor
house is outside the police jurisdiction
of Alexandria, the request was refuse d
and the person making it told to hunt
up county constable.
L. W. Corbett has sold to Annie Corbett the
ground rent at the northeast corner Of Patrick
and Cameron streets for 500.
Yesterday was quiet Sunday, and tho tenn
perature being low the streets were ccmpars.
lively deserted.
Mr.. Aubrey Price will leave here next
week for Pittsburg where he has secured n po-
sition.

A MAN AND WOMAN FIGHTING
Early Saturday night Officer Belts,
while on duty in the neighborhood of
Columbus aud Princess streets, heard
some loud talking between colored
man and colored woman and by the
time he reached them the woman had
the man down and was pummeling him.
He placed both under arrest and when
he reached the station house the wo-
man was allowed to go home, as she
had an infant which needed attention.
Later the woman, who gave her name
as Florence Lucas, returned and left IS
collateral for tho appearance this morn
ing of the man, WHO is her husband.
He didn't put in his appearance ana
forfeited part of his collateral. The
trouble originated from the fact that
his wife had surprised him while in the
company of another woman. The fight
caused considerable commotion in the
neighborhood

THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE.-"It seems
strange. said Mr.. Frank Hume, who
has for years taken an active part in
pressing upon Congress the Importance
of building the memorial bridge to Ar
iiustou, what passed the bill in the
Senate OF Wednesday last. l don't
think the volume of good arguments
TINT ve made in lis behalf or of the
splendid Endorsements of the prcjsct by
Secretary Lamont had as much to do
with the success OF the bill as did the
quagmire of mud on the road just after
the bridge is passed At the funeral
OF cen Gibbon on Tuesday last the
road was in such a terrible condition
that one-half of the military escort had
10 be dismissed, and the other half had
The greatest difficulty in reaching Ar
Iugtou. The artillery could not get
through it at all. Well, there were q
number OF distinguished gentlemen
there, and they saw with their OWL
eyes the necessity of something better
tl9u at present exists. They made up
the sentiment which eventuated in the
passage of the memorial bridge bill. and
We are thankful for the result. Secre-
iary Lamont says the bill will likewise
psS- the House for the simple reason
mat II is necessity. y Washington
