sary Death was due, it is stated, to heart
disease.
The absence of Mr. Friedlander from his

been extinct for some time. 1t appeared
that he had arisen and had suddenly been
stricken down while attempting to dress

Negotiations for Business Plant.
Negotiations between the American
Cigar Company of New York and COM
mittee of Alexandria business men relative
to the proposed location in this city of one
of the plants of the company are still being
conducted, and the members of the COM
mlttee hope to be able to make some salts
factory arrangement. But at present there
is some obstacle in the way of the success
of the plans. 1t is understood the price
asked for the old cotton factory on North
Washington street Is in excess OF the
amount which the cigar company is willing
to pay. The committee will endeavor to
arrange terms which will be agreeable to
all concerned.
A few weeks ago several Of the prominent
business men of this city became interested
in a proposition from the company to
locate a plant in Alexandria employing
about a thousand hands provided suitable
building with rent free for two years could
be furnished. 1t was also stipulated that
the company should have the option on the
building at certain price after this time
had expired. The matter was at once taken
up by the local business men.
