LETTER FROM FAUQUIER.


Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazettol
ORLEAN, Va, Feb. 1.-Mr. john Ell
lis, a worthy citizen, was buried just
one week ago. His brother, James Ell
lis, who came from Alexandria abont
three weeks since to see his sick bro.
ther, died last night about nine o'clock
and will be buried to morrow. Mr..
John Ellis leaves wife aud two child
rem. Mr.. James Ellis was unmarried
Both of them were model citizens and
were held in high esteem by all who
knew them. MIR. William Barbee, an
other good citizen and neighbor, died
on Sunday end was buried to day. Mr..
Barbee served through the late war as
member cf StribIing's battery and
made as good soldier as he was citi-
zen He, too, leaves wife and one
child.
During this writing the news comes
that Nellie Ellis, the youngest daughter
of Mr.. John Ellis, has made two or
three attempts at self destruction by
eating the heads of matches, owing to
her poignant grief at the death of her
father.
Mrs. Sarah E. Templeman, widow of
Mr. Leroy Templeman, is now suffering
with stroke of paralysis, and her ply
sicisn, DR.. Buck, has despaired OF her
recovery. The pneumonia and grip are
playing sad havoc in our community
and our physicians, Drs. Buck and
Rudasill, have been kept going day and
night to relieve the suffering. DR..
Buck, who was worn out by constant
going is now, we are glad to state, visit
ing his numerous patients.
Those of our farmers who failed to
get ice on the last cold snap have in the
last few days filled their ice houses
with ice ranging from six to eight
inches in thickness.
Mr. Burnett Sutphin, another one of
our aged citizens, passed away few
days since at the ripe old age of 80
years. All Of these deaths have oc-
Cured within a radius of two miles of
our village.

A $4,000 RAMA $4,000 rain" wa

A $4,000 RAMA $4,000 rain" WAS
what they called it at the City Hall yesterday.
Monday night the city council appropriated
that amount to remove the snow and ice from
the streets. Each councilman was to appoint
ten special street cleaners from his ward to
help in the absorption of the $40 Ooo. 1t
was a nice arrangement and might have re.
suited in the removal of the snow and ice if
Mayor .Hooper had sigued the measure. Now,
however, the mayor will not have TO consider
whether he will sign it or not for the rsin
came along and washed ali the snow away.
That is why those at the City Hall call it "a
SAC, 900 rain."-Baltimorc Sun.

Is II YER Parolled.

The burglary committed at 81 Broad
street, Wednesday morning, has left the
residents of Reynolds avenue, short
thoroughfare running from 730 Broad
street, i'm very nervous state of mind,
and IL is only within few days that any
members of the few families in that
ayonue dared leave home after dark.
Should any OF the male members have
cause To be out late, they generally APP
pruaCh their homes with u revolver or
heavy cane ready for immediate use.
For more than month a strange look
ing fellow has been seen lurking about
the houses on this street, and he has been
seen TO peep into windows where the
curtains were only partly drawn.
About ten days ago tins individual was
met by ono of the men who resides on tho
street and was asked what he wanted. He
replied that he was waiting for u girl.
Aitor further questioning the man said
ho was going TO attend Red Men $
lodge meeting. The resident happened
to DO member Of the fratcrnal organiza-
tion and questioned the stranger,
quickly learning that he was not mom
bcr Of the order The stranger was then
told to get ont of the locality and he
smiled aud walked off.
since then he has been seen q number
Of times by nearly every person living In
the neigh hborhood.
A policeman on the next beat was
notified of the fact, but as yet the resi-
dents have not seen "a policeman on the
street. ard they begin TO think that they
have been forgotten, for one of the best
known men on the street, who has lived
there for some time, told n representative
of The News that during the time he had
resided there neither he nor any member
of his family had seen policeman nearer
the street than the opposite side Of Broad
street. He said il men on the east side If
the city can have n policeman stationed
in or about their residences, those who
lived near him might at least have one

TERRIFIC SAND STORMS
The Arkansas Valley Has Suffered
Greatly From Them.
IL Now Lies Under a Bed of Sand.
Corn Blown From the Ground.

Topeka, Kas., April 22.-Terriiic sand
storms have swept over the Arkansa rs
valley in Southwestern Kansas. The
wind blew ut the rate of 10 miles an hour.
The great valley, which averages 10 miles
wide, is in bed of sand, and passengers
who arrived on the trains from that sec
tion say more people were driven from
their homes for protection against a
cloud of dust and sand, which no human
being could withstand. The storm was
SO violent that the corn planted two
inches i'm the ground was blown for miles.
The irrigating bitches were full of sand.
The engineers could not see ten feet
ahead of them and windows and ventila-
tors in the cars were closed TO protect the
passengers from being smothered. Wheat
fields have suffered greatly.
