ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 15 1900
Intelligence reached this city this morning
OF the rendering of an opinion by the court
of appeals yesterday. sitting at WytheviIe
in which the decision of Judge C. E. NicoI
OF the city circuit court against the de-
PENDANT company in the case of the Alex
andria city council against the Washington
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railroad
Company was sustained. The city is, there
fore. victorious after long legal battle.
Suit was brought in the circuit court April
II. 1899. by the city council to compel the
above named company to replace its rails
on King street between Fairfax and Royal
streets with rails Of a new and improved
pattern. Corporation Attorney Gardner L.
Boothe and Mr.. ]. K. NJ. Norton represented
the city and Messrs. Jere Wilson, James r.
Cation and A. A Lipscomb defended the
company.
On several points of evidence the jury de-
cided against the city. but tho 22d instant
aside the verdict and rendered a decision

Gil the movement for improvements was

A COAT WHICH GREW.
The Story Of a Clever Prisoners Plan
for Escape.

Green Casey, a convict at San Quen'
tin, has won the admiration OF all his
fellow-convicts at the prison for the
order TO make his escape from the
prison walls some time ago, and
through Sheriff Langdon, OF Santa
Clara county. the story has leaked
out.
Casey was a kind OF trusty around
the prison grounds, and while work
ing in one OF the grounds In tho
vicinity of the prison he took II into
his head that he would like 10 escape.
and was beginning TO tax his mind as
TO the most advantageous way TO suit
his purpose. AS he was strolllng
around on the green grass, which
grows In abundance around the prison
an idea struck him that IL he could
initiate the grass by some means he
could elude the watchful sentries and
make good his escape.
Through the aid OF his convict
friends he procured some pieces OF
burlap, and with the aid Of some rope
made them into a long coat that would
cover him completely when lying on
the grass. He then secured some
wheat from the prison stable and
sewed Il on the first layer Of his coat
He cast It down carelessly at one end
of the prison grounds and watered 1t
daily. In few weeks the grass grew
up through the sack coat, and before
a great while the piece OF burlap was
conformed into n grassy lawn.
He was now ready to carry out his
plans and patiently awaited an OPP
portunity. At last he succeeded In
getting his new contrivancc across
to the northwest OF the prison, and In
n few minutes was under his grassy
coat.
Slowly he crept along with the
cleverness OF n worm, and from all
appearance success would crown his
efforts. But his progress was too
rapid, and very soon he heard foot
steps coming In his direction. The
moving grass plot, which was slowly
making it's way up the hillside, soon
came to sudden standstill, as tho
eye OF a guard had noticed the grass
moving and came TO investigate the
phenomenon. A kick in the ribs ap-
prised Casey that his plan had been
discovered The guard took Casey.
and a red shirt now covers his breast.

The announcement that there will
not be a Rhode Island State Fair this
fall, will not be likely to cause much
sorrow among the people of the state.
AT times in the long history of the
organization, or that of its prede-
cessor, its elimination would have
been much regretted. The state
Fair lost the respect Of the people of
the state several years ago, and it is
not probable that its old prestige
could have been easily regained.
1t had ceased to be an agricultural
fair, and the superabundance of fakirs
and side shows, which no doubt we're
essential to ITS finances, served to
increase its unpopularity. Without
doubt its officers labored hard to
make the fair at least seli-supporting,
and perhaps failing to do this, they,
like good business men, decided to
discontinue it. The passing of the
State Far leaves only two fairs in
the state,-the Washington County
Fair at Kingston, which has always
been fairly successful and creditahle,
and the Kent County Fair, which
was revived last fall. Rhode Island
is not large state or an agricultural
state, and possibly two fairs will
suffice.

HOW TO DRINK WATER.
To Get the Best Effects, II Must Be
Slowly slipped.

Prof. Sllkham says there are few
people who thorougly realize the
value OF water as a beverage. or who
know how to derive the greatest ad.
vantage from IL. The effects produced
by the drinking OF water vary with
the manner In which II is drunk. II,
for instance, a pint OF cold water be
swallowed as large draught, or IL II
be taken in two large portions with
short interval between. certain
definite results follows-effects which
differ from those which would have
followed If the same quantity were
taken by slipping. Slipping is power
full stimulant to the circulation. n
thing which ordinary drinking is not.
During the action OF slipping the ac-
tion OF the nerve which shows the
beat OF the heart Is abolished, and, as
n consequence. that organ contracts
much moro rapidly. the pulse beats
more quickly, and the circulation in
various parts OF the body is increased.
In addition to this. we find the pres
sure under which the bile is secreted
is raised by the slipping OF fluid.
And here is n point which might
well be noted by our readers. A glass
of cold water slowly slipped will pro-
duce n greater acceleration OF the
pulse for time than will a glass OF
wine or spirits taken at a draught. In
this connection Il may not be out OF
place TO mention that slipping cold
water will often allay the craving for
alcohol in those who have been in the
habit OF taking too much OF IL. and
may be endeavoring to reform. the
effect being probably due to the slim.
ulant action of the sipping.-Hamilton
Times.

character of Vancouver. II. c.. so that
