Claim against GermanY.

Ferdinand Holzendorf, aged 81 years,
a native of Germany, but Tor some time
a resident of the United States, arrived
in the city last Monday in order to Law
before the State Department an indem-
nifty claim against the German Govern.
ment. Mr.. Holzendorf tells strange
story. He states that he served in the
German army during the Franco German
war, and shortly after its conclusion was
appointed to position in the customs
service. Some time in 1879 he got into
a difficulty with one of his superiors in
Office, who, he claims, wanted him to
make false sworn statement, and upon
his refusal to do so he Was prosecuted
and bounded in various ways.
The treatment he received excited
him greatly, and in the denunciations Of
which he made use, he referred to the
management OF the imperial government
in a manner which gave his enemies the
opportunity to accuse him OF lese
majestic. The prosecution which then
followed resulted in his being incarceT-
ated in an insane asylum, where he
renamed captive for ~ months. During
seven months OF this period he was
confined in q cell only five by seven feet
in size. and, moreover, was kept in total
darkness for fifteen weeks.
HolzendorFs wife made desperate
efforts TO have him set free. even peti
tioning the Emperor, but without avail.
Finally, on February S, 1881, with the
assistance OF a clergyman, he escaped
from the asylum. aud, further aided by
friends, managed to make his way out
of the country and came to the United
States.
Holzendorf proceeded at once to the
West and engaged in mining operations
In Utah, Idaho, and Montana. In 1885
he declared his intention to become a
citizen OF the Uniteo States, but owing
to circumstances over which he had no
control he did not take out his final
naturalization papers until 1897. Later
in that year he went to Germany for the
purpose OF setting up claim for damages
for his incarceration IN the insane
asylum, and with this end in view laid
his case before the Imperial Chancellor.
In the course of time he was directed
to present himselfa at police headquarters
IN Berlin, and without his having had
any hearing whatsoever he was taken
to another insane asylum, this one in
Berlin. and kept there for over fifteen
months. Then has case was brought TO
~
being heard there he was declared to
have been improperly deprived of his
liberty, was ordered to be set free, and
the decree further put the costs of the
Pre- ceedings upon the government.
Mr.. Holzendorf has returned to his
adopted country IN order to endeavor
to secure the Intervention of its gov
eminent for a proper redress Of his
wrongs.

Carnegie Gives Again

through the generosity of Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, the Washington
Public Library commission will be
enabled to have the proposed public
library building erected according to
the original plans submitted by Acker-
man and Ross the architects. Last
Monday letter was received from Mr..
Carnegie stating that he would increase
his donation by the sum OF $50,
This makes the gIit amount to $3.50, 900.
This second generous donation was
not entirely unexpected by the commits
sion, however. Almost a month ago
when the library plans were being con-
sidered by the members having the
matter in charge, Mr.. Carnegie made il
known to the commission that additionaI
money would be given if a satisfactory
building could not be erected and
equipped with the sum donated.
The commission found that as the
price OF building materials had risen the
building contemplated would cost more
than S2so,oo Upon Mr.. Carnegie's
OEluk AAd1C aWdL 2 Vi AlAAo uE oukEGoLGh
that the building itself should cost $780,
600. The commission later informed
Mr.. Carnegie that a suitable structure
could be erected for the sum Of $500, 600,
but this would not furnish and equip the
library. For this purpose larger sum
was necessary.
The information was transmitted to
Mr., Carnegie in letter written by Com
missioner John w. Ross. the president
of the commission, September II. Upon
the receipt Of this communication IN
Scotland. where Mr.. Carnegie has been
for several months, he Immediately
wrote back that he had decided to add
another $4,000 to his 100000 gift.
With this generous sum at hand the
commission will at once notify the
architects to slightly alter the original
plans and submit the same at the earliest
possible moment for inspection, AS
soon as the necessary working plans are
provided the contracts will be awarded
and the work begun.

Alexandria's Sesqui Centennial,

Alexandra was founded in dry
weather. In that section OF Virginia
there was 20 rain from the end of June
20 the early part of September, I74o
The town was laid out by John West,
surveyor, young George Washington
and other assistants. In the early sum-
mer OF that year, the plot having been
completed, the sale of lots began on the
I3th OF July, I74o. These sales were
renewed from time 70 time until late in
the fall OF that year, and even at that
time some few lots remained unsold'
SO that the year 1899 is not only the
sesqui centennial Of the laying out OF the
town, but IS also the 23oth anniversary
of the granting OF the land patent to
Robert Howsen and the I7oth year since
the esta )lIshment Of the municipal
government-in 1873, not long before
the surrender at Yorktown, government
by trustees being succeeded by a mayor
and commonaltv. This government
continued until the town, having been
transferred 10 the District Of Columbia,
received, in 1904, charter from the
Congress ol the United States providing
for a Mayor and a City Council.
In this condition it remained until, in
September, IS47, under acts o. Congress
Of the United States and the Common
wealth ofVirginia. the CITY and county
