innocent of the charge, took the case
TO the Supreme Court on an appeal
had The verdict of the lower court Get
aside, and to-day had Attorney-Cen-
eral Ward enter a nolle pros in The
case, the State believing that Daniels
punishment of eighteen months impris-
onnent was sufficient to satisfy the
law.
While Daniels was on trial before
The lower court he was not permitted
to offer previous good reputation as
evidence in his behalf, but when the
case came up on appeal the higher
court held that to have deprived the
prisoner of that privilege was greatly
no his detriment. 1t was because of
this that the judgment Of the lower
court was reversed.
Following this announcement Chief

that time The court will be in ession

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2. 1901

In THIS era OF contemplated" lm-
movements the thought comes 10 many
tbatjtis high time q respectable ana
convenient roadway were constructed
from Alexandria to Washington. The
nresept road ia in about the same con-
ditlou % when the Female Stranger
Waved it at the beginning of the last
century. Many parts form the same
ouagmires 10 the winter and the same
dust 10 summer, while vehicles climb
and descend hills as when Lafayette
passed over it seventy six years ago. Inc
wagon trade between Alexandria and
Washington always was an important
adjunct to the former place, and 1t bas
steadily grown in late years. Many
vehicles pass between the two cities
during the day and night and the num-
Der would be much larger II a suitable
thorouehfare existed. Roads running
out of Washington toward other points
of the compass have been constructed
during recent years, and being built on
modern principles adjoining places have
been materially benefited. and the
same result would follow ifsuch high
way existed bet ween the national capt.
tai and Alexandra. The present pike
could eaely aod without great expense
be converted into an excellent wagon
aud carriage way and the inroads Of
Alexandria's growing wholesale trade
Into Washington would thereby ex'
pand wonderfully. II is short drive
between the two cities, and the effects
which would follow the building OF q
suitable road would be felt by this city
"a soon as 1t was opened. From
practical business point of view the &C.
complishment OF this purpose would be
the most sensible step taken toward
the advancement OF Alexandria for
many years. and it should supplant
some OF the golden dreams hich have
long eiuce been diss]pated. 1t lie feared
by many that we will ell live and die
signing for Mount Vernon Avenue,
which at present seems as astral as
AIaddin's palace, when by some con-
oerted action q more profitable Appiau
Way six miles long could connect Alex
andria with the capital OF the nation.
Commercial Intercourse between the
two cities is expanding every year.
What cannot be found ia Washington
is sought 10 Alexandria and vice versa.
Most of the business is carried on by
wagons, and the bi-honrly trips of the
single double-ender ferry boat renders
1t necessary to run most of the vehicles
over the road. Ia fact 1t is economy to
do so, and with a proper thoToughfare
the trip could be made over the road
more satisfactorily. In few years
the growth OF Alexandria to the north
and northwest would certainly follow
under the coalitions described above.
Surely some arrangement could be
made between the city and county au'
thorities by which the above plan
could be carried out by the time the
new bridge shall have supplanted the
present Long Bridge.
