ALEXANDRIA, VA, Sept. 80, 1898.
To the Editor Ofthe Alexandria Gazette:
Dear sr-The article in your paper yester-
day in reference to the fire that morning
would lead any one to the belief that the
Hydraulion Fire Company was not anxious
to do fire service. If you will allow me lit
tie space l will explain why the engine did
not respond. When the new horses arrived
1t WAS found that the Cd collars were too
large for them a pair of old collars from
the Relief Truck Company were then tried,
and they fitted little tight. but in order to
save the city the cost of new pair, if posi-
bic, ii was detem ned to try them TO wagon
first. The result was that two Jumps were
raised on the neck OF one Of the
horses. and had they been hit he'd
to the engine they might have been ruined
for fire. se'vice or any other service.
The wardens then decided to order new ones,
which they did at once and they are expect
ed this week HNDRAULION

HAzING AT RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-A
short while ago Rev. ]. w. Kincheloe, a
young and talented Baptist minister, of
exemplary christian character, entered
Richmond College as ministerial
student from this county. AT 2 o'clock
last Sunday morning twelve under,
graduates entered his room, in disguise,
and tried to compel him to eat cake Of
soap. Upon his refusal to do so, not
withstanding their threats, they agreed
to compromise if be would sing "All
Coons Look Alike to Me-" This he
also refused to do, whereupon they
made Vicious attack upon him. Mr..
Kincheloe was considerably bruised
and mad to remain in bed all day Sun
day. 1t is 10 be hoped that the rowdes
may be apprehend and severely punish

An IAPosTER.-A stout, able-bodied
man bearing scars which he claimed to
have received while battling under
Gen L. f. Lee, visited this city yesterr
day aud pro'essed that he had become
deaf and dumb from the effects of his
wounds With pencil and paper he
could make a scrawl which with diff
Guilty was deciphered, s'aiiug that he
was blacksmith out of work. 1t was
soon learned that free coinage was &C
cep,aole to him and he eagerly accept
ed all that was offered. He was no
pFoh.otionist, for be could write for a
drink, preferably good brandy. After
Iecelying sympathy and material aid
and TOO many charitable libations dur
lng the day, it was discovered that Al
e1audria's good liquors had the power
to restore the mute to speech and the
deaf to hearing. To day some of his
victims OF Yesterday have laughed and
TAXED with him.
