Chamber of connerce Mee.ina.

There was an annual meeting of the directors and members of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. Owing to the fact that the officers for the year were elected some days ago and that the presi- dents report had already been published the business of the session was quite brief and routine. The secretary's report show ed the same membership as last year while the report of the librarian showed that 100 volumes had been added to the shelves during the year. During the year there have been forty-two candidates for officers of vessels and five for masters. The committee eXtolled the work of the late secretary, Captain w l.. Merry, and passed resolutions of regret concerning the death of the late 4. F.. Hecht

 At the Risdon Iron Works they are working night and day to fill Klondike orders. Two steel steamers for use on the Yukon are almost ready. and will be shipped north in sections next month. They will be fifty feet long, ten feet broad and will draw fifteen inches of water loaded. They will make an average speed of ten knots. and will be used simply as passenger boats They are built on exactly the same lines as were the steamers used in the British military expedition up the river Nile. They will accommo- date forty passengers and their bag gage, and are guaranteed to maintain their speed in spite of the current of the Yukon. The iron works will send men to St. Michael to put the vessels together when the various sections reach there.
 A party of nine. headed by H. c. Tabrett, marine superintendent of the Risdon Iron Works and Robert Me | Elroy. agent of the Phelan building, are interested in a novel scheme. The San | Francisco Launch Company is building | a boat 90 feet long, 20 feet broad and to | draw 3 feet of water loaded, and with her they expect to make millions. She is equipped with powerful engines and a dredging plant, and it is the intention | of the experts to dredge all the creeks in the vicinity of Dawson.
 It was the intentions of MT. Tabrett to superintend operations on the Yu- kon himself, but he has changed his mind, and a mining engineer will go instead. Tabrett had his outfit pur- chased, and was ready to start at a | moments notice when the snow came
 He determined to have foretaste of what he would have to encounter in

Bell Telephone No. LOG.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, June %, 1898.
A bold highway robbery occurred Satur-
day night on Schuters HILL just west of
this city, which came near resulting in
murder. Henry Warner and George John
son, both colored, of Falls Church, after
disposing of some produce, made several
small purchases and started for their home.
Arriving at the above-named place. two
hfghwaymen jumped from some underbrush.
covered both men with revolvers and de-
manded their money. AS soon as the cccu-
pants of the vehicle realized their situation
they attempted to defend themselves, but
were met with volley of pistol shots. War
ner received a bad wound in the shoulder
and Johnson got a ball in his arm. Both
men were then relieved Of all the money
they possessed and the robbers made their
escape.
The two injured men, instead of returning
to Alexandria, drove to Falls Church where
their wounds were dressed by DR.. Quick OF
that place. The police in this city were not
notified Of the occurrence until yesterday.
Neither of the men could give any ac-
curate description of the assailants, and the
police have very slight clues to work upon.
Driver Badly Hurt.
Mr. AL. Lucas of this city attempted to
drive a team attached to Standard Oil
wagon over a small bridge near Walkers
school house in Alexandria county Satur-
esy evening. and the bridge gave way, pre-
cpitating driver and team into ravine
about thirty feet deep. Mr.. Lucas was
badly cut about the throat and very much
bruised. The wagon was damaged, and
one of the horses so badly injured that 1t is
thought it will have to be shot. Shortly
after the accident Mr.. Lucas was brought
to this city, where his wounds were dress
ed at Mr.. C. w. Lemons drug store by
DR.. Berger Today Mr.. Lucas is reported
resting easily.
Mayors Court.

damages.
The declaration alleges that plaintiff

fcate representing one hundred shares Of
Mergenthaler Linotype Company's stock
for $12 200, giving his note at three months.
subject to extensions at the convenience Of
the defendant, and leaving the certificate
in Staples hands as collateral security.
On plaintiffs return from Europe in No.
vember, 1897. after the note had been ex-
tended, he offered to pay the full amount.
but was informed by Staples that he had
sold the stock for $12,600
Mr.. Mckee dec lares that the certificate
was worth at that time $4,000. but the de-
fendant only recognizes his right to ths
difference between the sum realized by the
alleged sale and the amount Of the note.

examination to make the witness admit
that he had heard NARROW trying to per-
suade Bowie to go home; that he was ten
der and solicitous about it, and that every
tine Bowie fell he'd pick the latter up
and hold him in his arms

arms around him? %
He hit him every time." positively and
conclusively replied Miller.
