ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER.

parture of the Alexandra boys from
their homes at their country's call,
alluded in glowing terms to the
objects and aims of the Young
Mems Sodelity Lyceum and expressed
the kindest wishes for it's rapid growth
and success with its tolerant and praise
worthy principles The Mayor was
severe in his criticism of people who
were devoid of public spirit and enter
prise, but who croaked aud found fault
with those who were animated by high
err principles. In Athens of old neu.
trails were not tolerated-a man had to
be on one side or the other. An Ath
enian spirit was wanted in Alexandria
at the present time pro bono publico.
In the course of the Mayors remarks
he paid high tributes to st. Vincent de
Paul, Father Mathew and other great
men of the Catholic faith who had de
voted their lives to the good of their
fellow.mep, and alluded in an appro.
pirate manner to their memories which
were monuments in every heart, more
enduring than stored urn. The Mayor
took his seat amid loud and continued
applause.
Father Conway, of Georgetown COL
lege, was the next speaker. His theme
was "Our Clergy" and he handled it
in l mastery manner. The reverend
father said as soon as one put his foot
on Virginia soil he experienced the
influence OF the Old Dominion. Here
the clergy and the people are one, and
this fact was more apparent here than
anywhere else. 1t was democracy ana
freedom which was responsible for this
state of things. 1t was life of labor
and love which the priest entered in
Virginia. He was consecrated to each
member of his flock, and the latter in
turn consecrated to him. Being poor
their hearts were in touch with each
other. Father Conway spoke 10 q
feeling manner of the self-sacrifice Of
the Catholic clergy, and said this was
especially apparent in Alexandria, the
scene of the labors Of Father Kroes and
those who had preceded and followed

ment prevails about the building.

ent. A notice is posted, signed ". H.
kimball, National Bank Examiner,

pending an official examination. The
Trademarks Bank has been under sus-
picion long time.
Bank Examiner Kimball says that he
has not yet had time to 60 deeply into
the affairs of the Tradesman's National
Bank. From what he understands so
far, however, the banks troubles arose
from certain contracts it had under
taken with the Wool Exchange. The
closing down Of the exchange precip-
itated the suspension. An official OF

last nights examination OF the bank
affairs bad debts were discovered which
it is believed will impair the banks
capital to the extent of S250,000 or

or misrepresentation OF funds, it is
stated, was found. No other bank or
institution is in any way affected by
the suspension. 1t is said the bank is
not likely to resume business.
As a result OF an examination by the
Clearing House committee the follow
ing dispatch was sent to Washington
by Chairman Tsppen "The Clearing
House committee have this afternoon

4 LARGE number OF the patriotic
white citizens of the republican State
Of Massachusetts have just pleaded
guilty, in the Z. S. district court OF
Boston, of having perjured themselves
and swindled the government for the
low and sordid purpose of obtaining
pension money, and have been let OF
with paltry fine of fifty dollars each.
Why should the poor, ignorant negroes
of the South be sent to the penitentiary
for committing the same identical crime?
especially as the republicans, who are
in control Of nearly all the .. ;. courts,
profess to believe that all men are
created equal, and that the only differ
ence between the white and black races
IS that which exists in the color Of their
skin. 1t is observable. however, that
they favor this alleged equality only
in the South.

The Philippine insurgents have just
manifested contemptuous disregard for
their American allies by public inau-
guration and celebration of their so.
called free and independent republic.
But they can hardly be blamed, as the
declared policy CT this country, instead
of being, SIS it was in its prosperous
DAYS, to mind its own business, is now
80 interfere with the affairs of foreign
nations and assist with expensive
armies and fleets the insurgents of all
the other governments in the world,
and as the Spanish war was prosecuted
TO give freedom to the Spanish insur-
gents for the sake OF humanity, those
n the Philippines are certainly as much
entitled to it and to home rule as any
other rebels" on the face Of the earth,
except, of course, those of the South
thirty-odd years ago.

Waste Paper.

When "E. Phillips" and "R. NJ. Jones"
did not return to their quarters in the
st. Charles, Monday night or yester-

learned from Binghamton that two

BREAKER DESTROYED.
II Was Owned by ConnelI and Company.
Fire Discovered at an Early Hour
In the Morning.

Connell & Co.'S Meadow Brook break
er was totally destroyed by fire of un-
known origin which broke out at 4.30
o'clock yesterday morning.
The flames were first discovered by
fireman at work in the boiler room.
They broke out, he says, in the main
tower near the coal pockets. He sent
in an alarm from box S. and the three
South Side companies made a quick re-
sponse, but the fire had gained such
headway that their efforts were in
vain. In two hours the structure was a
complete loss.
There was no great danger to ad-
joining property at any time. as the
breaker is well removed from any 9TH
er structures. A stream was kept on
the smouldering ruins all day long. The
loss is estimated at S30,000 1t was
partially covered by insurance.
The breaker was built nty-seven
years ago. It, was not however in bad
repair because it was virtually rebuilt
several times as is the case with all
breaker buildings that are constantly
operated for a great number of years.
New machinery was put in from time
to time, and it was in this respect a
quite modern breaker.
About three years ago owing to the
mine having been worked out the
breaker was partially abandoned and
what coal was mined was prepared for
market at the National breaker of the
same company, which is located about
half a mile to the south. Coal for the
retail trade and for use in the mills
in that immediate vicinity was, how
ever prepared at the Meadow Brook.
There We're about siXty-five tons of
buciSwheat coal in the pockets when
the fire broke out.
No explanation can be given of the
cause OF the fire. One theory is that it
was caused by tramps. who might have
stolen in there to sleep.

KILLED ON THE MAINE.
Identity of w. j. Cosgrove, of Wilkes
Barre, Was Established.

BY means of photograph it has
been established that the William j.
CosgrOve, a second fireman aboard the
Maine and who was among the killed,
was from Wilkes-Barr He was
known in this city, where he had rela-
tives.
Some doubt as to the identity of the
Cosgrove killed was removed by a
photograph of the young man sent by
Wilkes-Barre relatives to the navy de-
partment. 1t was returned to the fam
lily with the government sympathy and
endorsements by past assistant en-
gineer, an assistant engineer and a
naval cadet of the Maine survivors say
ing that the Cosgrove who lost his life
and the one represented by the photo
graph were identical.
He was 27 years old, and enlisted
over a year ago. His body was re-
covered.

DRUNKEN FATHERS CRUELTY.
Little Boy Kept out in the Rain After
Midnight.

At 1890 o'clock this morning PATROL
men Dominick Boland and Conrad
Marker brought in a beastly drunken
middle-aged man and his four-year-old
boy, whom they picked up on Lacka-
wanna avenue. Both were drenched to
the skin and the scantily clad child
was shivering and crying from the cold.
When taken in tow by the officers
the little boy almost went into hyster-
les and on the way to the station house
attracted a large crowd by his cries.
After being in a warm cell for while
he calmed down and became quite re-
signed to his surroundings.
\The father gave his name as John
M. Gordon and said he came up from
Wilkes Barre to visit relatives.
