AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Work Progressing on Western High
Sch0oI-Re pairs TO Bridge Pier.


The Stewards Aid Association of Mt
Zion VI. f. Church was billed for an ex-
cursion yesterday to Glymont on the
steamer Kent. More than 400 excursionists
were at the Congress street wharf pre-
pared TO go. but the steamer failed to ap-
pear until o'clock in the afternoon when
nearly all had returned to their homes
The people were considerably indignant
over the action of the boat people. who
claimed TO have had some trouble with the
South Washington toughs. No blame is at
tached to the committee in charge of the
excursion, but the steamboat and its man
agement were severely condemned.
The work on the Western High School is
being brought forward to completion as
rapidly as possible. The brick and stone
work il well under way. and arrangements
are being made to put in the hot air APP
paratUs. The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the building by January 1. but
il Is hardly expected that IL will be finish
cd by that date. When completed the
building will be the most modern of all the
school buildings In the city, and the equal
of any in the country.
The large force of men employed on the
repairs 10 the Aqueduct bridge pier have
directed their efforts toward fixing up the
Golfer dam and false work. which was
found TO be in a rather bad state. To pre-
vent the leakage a number of bags of ma
terial have been deposited around the edges
OF the dam. An attempt was made a short
time ago to pump the water from the in
terror of the place After about a foot OF
water had been pumped out ii was found
that additional facilities would be required
The work of tearing down the pier will not
be commenced until the dam is clear OF
water. Contractor Gilbert mas a quantity
of stone on hand ready to be used when :he
work of building commences.
To prevent the crowds of people from OBJ.

bridge and also to prevent any accident

the presidency and more than any candi-
date of any party, saving alone his sue
Cessfui opponent, is evidence that the dem
ocratic principles are still dear to the vast
MISS Of the American people, and that
democracy is living in hope of an early
and complete triumph
I'VE especially indorse the national dem
ocratic party on four great issues which are
before the people of this country, viz, the
tariff, the income tax, the regulating of
trusts and the currency. Tariff duties
should be levied for revenue purposes and
only for so much revenue as may be need
ed for an economic administration of the
government, the great surplus in the treas
Dry in its nature being us eless absorption
of the public wealth and constant tempta-
ton to eXtrava gance.
I'VE denounce the tariff bill recently
Passed by the republican Congress as die
tated by trusts and monopolies, and IN the
interest of classes that live on the favorit-
ism of the government and not on the fair
and just earnings of industry. We favor
an income tax for the support of the fed
eral government, that industry may be the
less burdened and that we all may bear
its proper share of the general public
burden, and, if neoe ssary, we favor a con-
stitutional amendment that such taxes may
be levied. The power of taxation and the
power of regulating the interests of for
eign commerce furnish to a federal Con-
gress The means of restraining the great
trusts that break UP small industries and
aggrandiZe themselves by Illicit combina-
lions, and we favor the exercise of such
powers to their full extent to the end that
these monopolies may be curbed."
Mr.. Wizards Favorable Impression.
Mr.. ]. E. Willard, who had as his guests
the delegation from Fairfax county, left
with his party on the 10:45 train. Mr.. VIII
lard, as usual has made a good impression
on the democrats of his state. He was one
of the warmest advocates of Mr.. A. J.
Montague. the nominee for attorney gen.
eral, and it is believed that the nomination
was brought about largely through Mr.
Wizards efforts.
r. Walton Moore of Fairfax is another
prominent Virginia politician who has been
highly spoken of, and it would be no grea;
surprise should he be chosen by the state
legislature to succeed Senator Thomas

ALEXANDRIA, Va, August Is. 1897.
Excitement reigned supreme in q house
of ill-fame, No. 80 North Lee street, last
night, when a bold attempt was made by
three strangers to hold up and rob Rosie
Moore, the proprietress. From what can
be learned of the affair, 1t appears that
last Tuesday night three young men, whose
names are as yet unknown called at the
Moore house and spent half hour or
more. During their visit they admired the
diamonds worn by Rosie Moore. On leav-
ing they promised to return later in the
week. and they did so last night, for about
0 o'clock, when the door bell rang. upon
going to the door Rosie found her three
friends of short acquaintance She invited
them into the parlor. and with one of the
inmates BERTHE Gibbons, attempted to en-
terrain them.
Vicious Attack.
The Moore woman, who is apparently
we'll off in this worlds goods. was bedecked
in many diamonds-rings on her hands,
rings in her ears and handsome brooch
at her throat. The young men called for
three bottles of soda and in paying for it
pitched the money on the waiter in such a
manner that 1t dropped to the floor. caus-
ing Rosie Moore to stoop down in order
to pick 1t up. AS she was STOPPING, two of
the mtn jumped on her and made every
effort to unloose the rings in her ears,
while one of them knocked her In the head
with the butt end of revolver. In the
meantime the screams Of Berthe Gibbons
aroused the other inmates of the house.
who rushed out to the street. yelling muir
der and calling for help. This action scar
ed off the would-be thieves. two of them
leaving by the back window and the third
through the front door. The police were at
once notified, and every effort was made to
trace the men, but so far without success.
Searching for the Assailant.
Rosie Moore remained unconscious for
some time, from the effect of the blow In
the head She has an ugly cash on the
top of her head, which had to be stitched
up.
The police are making diligent search to-
day, and believe that they are on the right
track. and will before night have the mis-
creants behind the bars.
