A PRIVATE letter received at this
Office from subscriber in the Valley q
Virginia, merchant, says he buys all
of his groceries and drugs in this city
and some Of his dry goods and crockery,
and that he bears many of the other
merchants in his and the adjoining
counties do likewise, and he asks why
it is that when coming here for that
purpose he cannot buy his whole stock
of goods here, without having to 90
further North in order to do so? This
question can possibly be answered by
some of the business men Of Alexandria.

AS the result of an accident at the
Midavle Steel Works. Nicetown, Pa,
this morning, one man was killed and
three others seriously injured. The
men were working in q trench 16 feet
deep. The wall of o building by the
trench suddenly fell upon the men
without giving them the slightest chance
to escape. II is thought that the acct.
dent was caused by the laborers under.
mining the wall by digging too close to
the foundations.

MILD FoRM.-One of the best known
and most prominent physicians in
Richmond yesterday said that there
were great many sporadic cases of
smallpox in every section of Virginia
The disease, however, is of an unusual.
ly mild type and is largely confined to
negroes. The epidemic, if such it can
be called. is by no means alarming,
and the physician said that from fesd.
ing medical papers he was positive that
there was less of the disease in Virginia
than in any other Slate of the Union

AGAINST BOYCOTTs.
The Bill of Mr.. O'NeiII Is RECON-
mended to Pass.


II. F. 49, by Mr. O'Neill Un,en), of
Big Stone, prohibiting boycotting, was
recommended to pass with but little Op-
position The author Of the bill stated
that he had introduced the measure at
the request of a friend from Duluth. That
city had suffered more from boycotts
than any other city in the state He
had received petitions from business men
of Duluth asking him to go .lhead with
the bill and secure its passage Ore of
the labor leaders from Hennepin county
had Informed him that the labor unions
would prevent his receiving future polit-
ical office, but he paid no attention to
any such talk.
Mr.. Laybourn Rep.), of ST. Louis, cor
roborated what the member from Big
Stone had said The bill had the in
dorsement of the better class of labor
men. The boycott, as practiced in Du-
luth, had kept business and capital out
of the city. A druggist had recently been
notified that If he continued eating at
certain restaurant his store would be boy
cotted.
Mr.. McCollum Rep), Ct Kittson, made
an amendment which would bring asso-
Citations under the provisions of the bill,
but two or three dissenting votes. The
bill makes it unlawful for persons, firms,
associations or corporations to combine
or conspire together for the purpose Of
declaring a boycott or causing to be cir
culated cards, dodgers, circulars or adj
Yertisements that boycott exists against
any person, firm, association or corpora
ton. Violation of the provisions Of the
law are punishable by fine of not less
than $50 nor more than $780, or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding six months. or
by both.

SHOWN NO QUARTER.
Bill to Allow Saloons Under Ger
tain Conditions Killed.

H. F. 1854, by Mr.. Winston Oem.), of
Hennepin, ''by request bill, allowing
boards of county commissioners to grant
licenses for saloons within 300 feet OF a
schoolhouse, was Indefinitely postponed
in the committee of the whole.
Mr.. Ahlstrom Rep), of Hennepin, in
sisted that the bill was in the interests
of the saloons as against the public
schools and should be defeated. In or
der to make the debate good, Mr.. ALL
strom suggested an amendment which
made the distance from Il school to
saloon 1000 feet, just 500 feet more than
the present law fixes as the distance.
Mr.. Lydiard said If it was TO be made
1000 feet, on the same principal it should
be made two miles between saloons AMI
schoolhouses.
Mr.. Foss Rep.), of Grant, thought It
would be good thing to make it two
miles. He was in favor of closing all the
saloons. AT any rate, he insisted there
should be no change in the present law
except to increase the distance.
Mr.. Jacobson insisted that the men,
bers of the legislature should not pass
a bill which would make them go home
and move their schooihouses to accom-
modate saloons.
Mr.. Winston explained that the bill
simply allowed the hote:s IN several Of
the villages to keep bar. The hotels
had been in existence for some time and
then school was located near them ana
the owners were not allowed to take out
o license on this account. lie DIS

SALTWATER STREET CARS.
Bill of Mr.. Hillary Given "a Fearing
in COMMITTEES.

A delegation of city and county officials
from Saltwater appeared before the
house committee on corporations yester-
day afternoon to urge the passage of
II. F. 372, by Mr.. Hillary (Rep.), of Wash
ington.
The bill give street railway companies
the right of eminent domain as to the
condemnation of lands for right of way
the same as is now granted to steam
railway companies.
George Sullivan who acted as spokes-
man, informed the committee that Still
water had no local street car line and
could not have one unless it was oper-
ated in connection with an interurban
line between Saltwater and st. Paul. 1t
was the intention of the city council and
the board of county commissioners of
Washington county to grant such priv
llege, but 1t was necessary that the COM
pany which was to secure the franchise
have the right to use certain streets
and highways in the construction of the
line outside the city. In order to accom-
plish this the law should be changed so
as to allow the company to condemn pri-
vate lands and also give the council and
county board the right to grant the use
of streets and roads.
Mr. Sullivan stated that two routes had
been surveyed. One was along the old
st. Paul and Saltwater road via Lake
IHiiHo we've miles OF tnlS line would
be along the road mentioned, but it would
be necessary at several points to go on
private property in order that the line
could cross the railroad tracks at other
than grade crossings. The other pro-
posed route was via Wildwood.
H. F. Stevens appeared as attorney for
the delegation and agreed to amendments
which would make it necessary for The
company to secure the consent OF city
councils as to the route to be selected in
entering and passing through city
w. b. Caswell, of Anoka, who is inter-
ested in proposed line from Anoka to
Minneapolis, was present and urged the
passage of the bill. The question of grade
crossings being brought up Mr.. Roberts
(Rep), of Hennepin, suggested that there
should be some amendment which would
prevent any road being constructed
which would allow grade crossing
across steam railway line.
Mr.. Caswell objected to this, saying
that the line from Anoka to Minneapolis
contemplated carrying both freight and
passengers and it would cost a large
amount Of money to construct the line
so as to do away with grade crossings
Mr.. Dwinnell (Rep) of Hennepin
chairman of the committee, said M D.
Mum, representing the Twin City Rapid
Transit company, desired to be heard
and for this reason further action would
be deferred until Wednesday afternoon
Members of the delegation from Still
water stated after the meeting was over
that the residents of Saltwater favored
the granting Of the franchise to the Ohio
corporation.
