Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette

Correspondence OF the ALEXANDRA daZette. !
WASHINGTON, January 8.
The extraordinary statement recent
~ authorized by Colonel Lamb, chair
man of the republican State committee
of Virginia, which, in substance, was
that committee of the House, consist
ing. of course, of a majority of republic
cans, would be created and empowered
at an early day to visit the Norfolk
Congressional district and report on the
fairness and legality of Representative
Tvler's election, is commented on here
as one among the most wonderful of
the political curiosities of the day. Col.
Lamb-who is now understood to be
pretty thoroughly committed to Speak
er Reed for the Presidency, was influ-
entail enough to take MIR. Tyler of the
communication naval affairs, where, by
locality and interest, he properly be-
longed, and also influential enough to
put General Walker on rivers and har-
bors. where he does not pretend to be-
long. since there is not nsvigable inch
of water in his district-has probably
reekoned without his host in this last
most unprecedented undertaking to
.oust Mr.. Tyler from his seat. 1t
looks now ss if Colonel Lamb would
Grove to be a very radical and reck-
Sess manager of bis psrty's interests
in Virginia. Such movement as this
was never proposed even in the days
of carpet bsggery and scallaWsggery"

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.--There were no
new developments in the bond situa-
ton to-day and the street is waiting to
hear from Washington. Gold is still
wanted by those who intend to partici-
pate in the new issue and the premium

cent. Speaking of the new issue q
prominent banker said to-day that the
President would probably not issue his
call for subscriptions until Tuesday
next when the Senate finance committee
is expected to substitute free silver
measure for the bond bill recently
passed by the House. A strange feature
of the situation is the importation and
the expectation of gold at the same
time.

Horrible Butchery.

ANTLERs, 1. T., Jan. 3.-Wednesday
evening two boys were hunting hogs
two miles north of here when they
found the dead body of Lee Crum, a
white man, about twenty-four years
old. The remains were horribly mutt
lated, the throat was cut, the ears were
gone, the flesh of the face had been re-
moved and the eyes gouged out. AS a
fitting climax the victim had been
scalped. Taylor Hickman, aged twelve
years, and Thomas Davis, aged six
teen, we're arrested and confessed the
shocking butchery. They pursuaded
Crum to go down to the river and
while Davis held his hand Hickman
shot him. The next day Davis went
back and tracked Crum up. He was
still alive. Davis then mutilated him
as above described and robbed him.

Gust made public) exchanged by Great
Britain and Venezuela between lS40
and 1912, when England removed the
boundary posts set up by Schomburgb,
was known to Secretary Olney and
President Cleveland, and asks why
Secretary Olney did not use it to refute
Lord Salisbury's second dispatch. did
he" the Gazette asks, deliberately
prefer to pick quarrel with Lord
Salisbury"
The St. James Gazette says: "The
British people are not being properly
treated by the government when it is
left to the enterprise of a newspaper to
discover that unpublished official CORE
spondence, upon which peace or war
may depend, does not justify the state
ment of our own foreign minister"

The Car Mems Strike.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 3.-The strike
of the motormen and conductors of the
Union Traction Company went into
nominal effect this morning. While a
few divisions are tied up, cars were
running on the main thoroughfares
during the morning. The cars were
largely manned by union men, and
there was an absence of police officers
on the platform. There was no dis
order reported this morning. The
presence of union men on the lines that
are running is due to division in the
ranks Of the amalgamated association
regarding the advisability of second
strike. As matters stand this morning
the traction company has much the
better OF the situation.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.

Six persons were killed, one fatally
injured, four more are missing, and
thirty-one received injuries more OF
less serious, as the result of an explo
sion that occurred in st. Louis, yester-
day evening. A loss of at least $780,.
900 resulted to the buildings aud their
contents, which were destroyed by the
explosion or damaged by fire and
water.
The explosion caused general con.
sternation and every window for three
blocks was broken.
The building which is occupied by
the Anchor Peanut Company and II.
B. Grub, agent of Ditwiller & Street,
of Greenfield, N. j., was set on fire in
some manner. The flames, which started
on the first floor, communicated to
quantity of fireworks on the second
floor, owned by Grub. These ex-
ploded with terrific force, throwing
burning brands, bricks and debris in
every direction. The conclusion rent
the partition wall to the south iuto the
building occupied by the Levison
and Blythe Mucilage and Ink Manufac.
turing Company and the Excelsior Wire
and Iron Manufacturing Company ad-
Joining on the north, and the flames
soon communicated to these two build
ings, in which considerable number of
men and boys were at work.
Three alarms were sent in. The
whole downtown fire department re-
sponded, and the work of rescuing the
Injured was performed in courageous
manner by the police and tiremen.
For some time six ambulances were
kept busy taking on the dead and
wounded and conveying them to the
morgue and city dispensary.
1t is believed that many buildings in
the vicinity have been rendered unsafe
and cessation of business about the
wreck will be had until thorough in
spection is made.
Some of the escapes from death were
miraculous. James Kennedy, print
er, perched for twenty minutes on the
frame of a third-story window, which
fell Just as the ladder men reached
him. John Marlowe was on the street
in front of the Grub building and was
hurled across the street against horse
that had been killed against the oppo-
site wall.
James Cou!ashaw, one of the injured,
was found under the debris with a
heavy beam supporting the wreckage
above him. A heavy telegraph pole
fell across an express wagon and killed
the horse. John Carney, the driver,
escaped unipjured. The stories Of
escape from death are almost innumer-
able.

Mr.. CLEVELAND may be very good

ELECTRIC ROAD TO WAsHINGToN.-
1t looks now as if We are really going
to have an electric railroad to Wash
ingtop. The old Washington, Cincin-
natl and St. Louis R. R. Co., having
re.organized, has sold out its line from
Luray to Washington to wealthy
New York syndicate which intends to
build an electric railroad from Manassas
to Washington via Fairfax c. H. and
Falls Church. The deed is now being
recorded here. The old road narrow
gauge is graded good portion of the
distance, and the company owns the
unlimited right of way. Mr.. Samuel
81. Waddell, a prominent New York
lawyer, representing the syndicate,
was here this week, and went over the
line with civil engineer. The deed
has been recorded in Alexandria
county and will also be recorded in
Prince William. This is the most
promising and gratifying railroad news
that we have heard in long while
Fairfar Herald.
