SEsQUI CENTENNIAL "A Washing
ton newspaper reporter, it is said, has
been employed to write up" the pro-
posed Alexandria sesqui centennial cell
e0ratlon for publication in q paper OF
lhat city. 1t is also said that the re
porter in his interviews with the real
business men of the city found them 10
be- more interested in the business OF
Alexandria and drawing trade here
than they were in the "sesqui." OF
course every man and woman Interested
in the city is deeply concerned in max,
ing success Of anything that would
directly or Indirectly benefit Alexan-
dra or attract attention from the out
side to its many natural advantages
for trade and commerce, but so far,
at least, the park and monument
features, as mapped out by the orleina-
tors of the proposed celebration, have
not met with general favor. IL is re-
marked that men who have no real
interest whatever in the city, and others
who are thought to be on the make are
too conspicuous in the movement; and
then, too, the rumor has gotten abroad
that scheme to sell land is in some
way connected with the affair. The
names OF number of gentlemen who
have offered to assist in the celebration
are, however, sufficient to disprove this
rumor, and though but little real work
has so larlbeen done,it is thought that a
ereditable celebration and parade could
be arranged for III the fall.

A FAKE.-.A Washington newspaper
this morning published long cock and
bull story, written by a reporter in
embryo TO the effect that an attempt
had been made by mob last night to
lynch old VIM. Dodson, colored, who
is confined in the county jail ut Fort
Myer charged with assaulting a little
white girl The facts as stated by
county people and by some OF the
Alexandrans who were at the Jail at
the time are that several Alexandrians,
thinking that the county people bad
become incensed with the OLD negro,
went TO the neighborhood of the Jail
last night to be present should an at
tempt be made TO take the prisoner
out. So far as known the Alexandrians
were the only persons about the place
and they were not of the lyncning per-
suasion. No attempt whatever was
made to attack the jail, but one OF the
Alexandrians says that one shot was
fired, for what cause he knows not.
Another Aleyandrian, who says he was
a spectator, was very angry this morn
ing when he saw his name figuring ne
would be lyncher and said he would
slap the face Of the reporter if he ever
took snch liberty with his name
again. 1t is said that some of the Alex
audrians were more interested in the
contents OF bottle of whisky than they
were in Dodson.
The Jail authorities were notified
yesterday morning that a special grand
Jury would be empaneled to inquire
into the case on July "a. Dodson de-
MES that he committed the crime.

COTTON EXPORTS FOR SEPTEM-
BIER.
Nearly a Million and Half Dollars
Worth Shipped Across the Ocean.
Wilmington Messenger.

The official compilation at the Gus
tom House of the exports of cotton
from this port for the month OF Sep
tember show that during this period
42.4S4 bales, or 21,S11,643 pounds, of
the staple have been shipped to foreign
markets. The shipments were made
on five of the large British tramp
steamers, and the value of their car
goes was 81, 455,276, which is without
precedent in the history of the port.
On the corresponding month last
year only 27,339 bales were shipped by
Wilmington exporters, which, is only
a little more than half the number
this year. The value of exports for
September, 1898, was only $759,912.
and the cotton was transported in three
steamers as against FIVE this year.
Though the regular monthly stock
report at The Produce Exchange has
not yet been posted, Colonel Cantwell,
the obliging secretary, says that it will
show tomorrow about $4,000 bales re-
ceipts in excess of September, 1898,
which is very gratifying to Whining
ton business men are a compliment to
her live and progressive cotton factors.
