SIXTH AVENUE BRIDGE RETOUCnED.
The Large Crack Will Not Injure the
Usefulness Of the Structure.

Work was commenced yesterday by
Clark & Co., at retouching the Sixth
avenue bridge, from which the false
work has lately been removed.
The removal of the false work
showed a large crack between the arch
and the side walls, and while it would
In no way have any effect on the
stability of the structure it was
thought best to have the crack ef-
faced To do this it was necessary to
cut a trench along the wall and cut
portion of it. OUT. This will allow the
walls to settle upon the arch and thus
close the crack. TO make the juno
ture water tight asphalt will be- put
ON, and thus there will he no sign of
moisture In the concrete. The great
strength of the material was shown
when the workmen could only with
the greatest difficulty make any I'M
preston on the wall.

OPPOSED TO RETRocEssIoN.-on the
question of the retrocession of Alex.
andria county to the government, Gov.
ernor OFerrall is quoted as saying
"As Governor of Virginia, would, OF
course, be opposed to giving up any
territory of the State. This question
would be brought before the State legis.
lature before any movement gould be
made, and do not believe the legisla'
ture would favor this. Indeed, believe
they would oppose it. The object o.
this movement, l take it, is 10 have
Alexandria COUNTY supplied with police
from the other side, and thereby break
up the crime, gambling, and other
violations of the law which have made
that part of the State notorious for
wears. The people in the District
should remember, however, THAI nearly
all the crooks and criminals in Alex
andria country who carry on their ne
farions business there, came from the
Washington side. There is equally as
much de6lement going on the Mary
land side. If they want &c stop the
violations of law going on there, they
should stop sending their lawless peo-
ple over to the Virginia side. have
given a great deal of my time and
labor to the breaking up of the iawiess
ness in Alexandria county, and think
the condition of things up there Is
greatly improved, though, OF course,
there is some little lawlessness being
| carried on in clandestine way
am opposed to any territory
from Virginia being given away.
Attorney. General scott, while not
familiar with this movement, SAID
II am opposed to any propagation TO
surrender any Virginia territory to any
government. We have no more terri,
tory than we can take care OF, ana
when the proposition comes up, II j., !,

against it. 1t will be colder day than
this and I will be much older man
