Meeting With Success.

The members of the committee APP
pointed by the Business Mems League
Wednesday night 10 solicit subscriptions
j.. .lrthe-ance of the movement to IN
duce the American Cigar Company to es-
tablish one of their factories in Alexan-
dria are meeting with satisfactory sue
cess. They are canvassing among the
business men of the city, and there IS
every likelihood of sufficient amount OF
money being raised to procure build
ing suitable for the company's purposes.
The fact that the American Cigar Com
pany is looking around Charleston, 5. G.,
for site and proper inducements to To-
cate there has caused some persons to
suppose that that city was to become a
competitor with Alexandra; also that
but one factory was to be established in
the southern country. Such, however,
is not the case, as the company purposes
to establish five or six manufactures in
the south. Mr.. Richards, chief Of the
industrial department of the Southern
Railway, who is interesting himself In
the inquiries made by the cigar company
in regard to Alexandria's facilities for
supporting such an industry, says the
now in progress with the
business men of Charleston will in no
way affect the company's intentions con-
corning Alexandria. -

cident in the Southern Railway yard
While trains were being shifted car
broke loose on the top of the hill above
the Virginia Glass Works and started on
the down grade toward an engine which
was standing on the track. The engi-
neer of a locomotive OH a side track,
seeing a collision inevitable, blew an
alarm whistle and the yard hands fled to
places of safety. The runaway car,
