A VIRGINIA CONFEDERATION
Alexandria Visited by Fire That
Destroys About 85OO.OOO Worth
of Business Property.

Alexandria, Va, June 3,--The greatest
confagration that ever visited Alexandria
broke out In Bryan's fertilizing mill on

and ragged with great fury for about eight
hours, causing total damage (including
the loss of time to the mills, etc.) of
from $45O,O0O to $500, 900, partly insured.
The entire block, bounded by Strand,
Duke, Union and Prince streets, is almost
completely wiped out, only one ware
house with the contents being saved.
This section was covered principally by
warehouses and manufacturing property.
The Old Dominion Brass works, the Old
Dorinion Boat club, the Atcheson's coal
yards, and the Old Pioneer mills we're
quickly gutted. The fire extended al
most two blocks along the river, and
burned most OF the wharves to the waters
edge. The Washington fire department
ave miles away, was called upon for help,
and engine company No. 4, under As
sistant Chief Belt, was sent down on a
ferry boat. The firemen did effective
work and at o'olock this morning the
flames were under control though the
ruins were smouldering all day long.
