A FIGHT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

A FIGHT AND ITS CONSEQUENCE
A fieht took piece between TWO young
clerks in the Southern Railway Com
pany's Office in Washington yesterday
One of the contestants was Washing
tonisn and the other an Alexandrian.
This former occupied superior posi-
tjou Ia the building and offended the
latter. The Alexandrian resented the
affront aud was invited downstairs py
his adversary 10 order to settle the
trouble with natures weapons. Inc
Wsshiugtonian was soon rendered noIs
de combat, which brought the fight TO
a close. Both of the belligerents we're
subsequently discharged from the office.

THE FERTILIZER BUsINEss.-Tbe
four-masted schooner Macomber, from
Port Tampa, Fla, is now unloading
1000 tons of rock phosphate for the
Alexandria Fertilizer and Chemical Co.
The fertilizer trade is assuming colossal
proportions in Alexandria, the Bryant
Fertiizlng Company at the foot OF Duke
street, reporting spring business 10 ex'
cess of any preceding year. This COM
psny is now making active preparations
for the fall trade. and there is every
reason to believe that their facilities
large ss they are-will be taxed TO their
utmost to fill orders. While the bulk
of the business of this company is with
the southern country, it is rradually ex'
tending Its ramifcations into other sec.
lions, and its products are held in high
estimation wherever used.

The MONUMENTAL Is suggested
that il the pavement around the Con-
iederate Monument ia cleaned semi
annually there may be necessity for
grubbing for the vitrified bricks. Work
like that should receive daily attention;
this Ia the experience OF those having
the streets OF larger cities 10 charge.
This morning the southern side was
plastered with soil deposited from
wheels OF vehicles passing over it,
When the square on King street shall
have been paved with the same ma
terisl some arrangement should be
made to give that and the monument
daily attention and not allow those
places to become unsightly.

EXTRA ENGINE.---As stated IN the
Gazette yesterday, George w. Pettey,
Chief Engineer of the fire Department,
called upon Robert ". Dutton, Chief
Eoeineer OF the Washington Fire De-
partment, yesterday to request the
temporary use of one OF the reserve en-
gines. Chief Pettey stated that the
Alexandria engines had suddenly got
ten out of repair and that the city had
no engine to use until the boilers could
be put 10 condition. Chief Dutton laid
the matter before the Commissioners OF
of the District, and 1t was decided that
the request could be granted. Ac-
cordinely reserve engine No. z was de-
tailed for use In Alexandria for two
days, subject to the demand OF the
Washington department. This action
is 10 the nature OF return courtesy to
Alexandra for assistance rendered Dy
this city to Washington 10 the past,
notably at the time Of the burning OF
the Patent Office, when engines were
sent from Alexandra to aid the local
firemen. The Washington engine was
tested on north Patrick street yesterday
evening and worked very satisfactorily.
A meeting of the finance committee
was held on Thursday night last to
consider the annual license law.
Among ether things discussed was
appropriations" and 1t was decided to
make provision this year for an extra
steam FIRE engine to be used when those
now owned by the city we're out OF SER
vice. Some time last fall Chief Pettey
addressed q communication to Council
upon this subject, and 1t is to be con-
sidered by the finance committee and
committee on public property on Mon
day night next, 80 we have been ip'
formed by q member of the finance
committee. This same member said he
and every member of Council, who read
the newspapers, knew weeks ago that
the Hydraulion engine would be out
of service for quite while, and on yes
terday that the Columbia engine had
also met with mishap and that while
we'll meaning men were talking and
appointing committees to inform or call
the City Councils attention to matters
which they had under consideration,
Chief Pettey, assisted supposedly by the
fire wardens. had procured an engine
from Washington.

NIL Observation-Disclosures the re-
suit OF the last census of Alexandra
was announced considerable disap-
pointment was expressed at the fact
that the population of the city had In
creased bat several hundred during the
past decade. OF course ell regret the
fact thas our city has not forged as far
ahead as was hoped, but OF the same
time, in the face of figures concerning
a number OF sister cities In Virginia,
Alexandria has nothing 10 be ashamed
OF, she having increased while others
have decreased. Besides it should not
be forgotten that the city's increase
has been 10 white people, the colored
element being on slow decrease here,
az elsewhere. From the official figures
of the government it will be seen that
there have been gains In GO towns
and cities in the State and that Alex
andria figures among them. There
have been losses 10 81, and in this list
Petersburg, Lynchburg, Winchester
and others places are embraced. No
changes occurred 10 two. Woodstock
gained /, and Occoquan remained In
statu quo. OF course Lynchburg,
Petersburg and other places where
losses are shown are really more pros-
porous than they were Ia 1890, from
the fact that the losses ia population
have been among the negroes, while,
az 10 Alexandria, more desirable
element has been introduced. This
item Is intended to show that Alex
andria's tide is at higher mark than
in 1890. The city it is believed Ia des'
tined for a gradual and healthy growth
without forced booms or dangerous ex'
periments. In the meantime let III
remember the admopition OF the
farmer to those operating his stump
| extractor-"Don't run it too fast boys
you may break the machine"
