The Market Building.

More than year ago the Mayor called
attention to the condition Of the market
building or city hall and in words that
could not, or ought not to have been
misunderstood pointed out seeming
neglect upon the part Of those who
should look to its preservation. Resolu,
tions or orders for repairs were offered
in council months ago; only recently a
slight move was made and then post
ponement for opening bids. Thus have
DELAYS, unnecessary delays, followed one
on the other until the semi-serious are
asking if this is to be another case OF
DELAYED rails. A great many persons re-
gret that this building was not put in
good trim before the Grand Army gath

A Murder Recalled.

TIE present Gathering OF the Grand
~ OF the Republic. at Washington
~. &c re ..uced rates which have been
offered by railroad companies have
brought some people to Alexandra
dbeir old home) who have not been in
this neighborhood for many years, some
of whom are unknown to the present
generation. Among those who have
been noticed on the streets is the form
of an old man who figured in tragedy
in this city over sixty-five years ago.
The individual referred to is AlOnzo
Pelton and the tragedy recalled Is the
killing of George Webster, son OF the
the late John Webster, one Saturday
night in February, 1887. Webster and
PeltOn were youngsters at the time and
previous to the fatal ARRAY they had
become involved in difficulty over
game of handy. Webster in company
with several of his friends was on his
way up King street He was whistling
at the time and had passed the north
west corner of King and Pitt streets and
was in front of an alley adjoining on the
east the building now occupied by Mr..
Il. b. Smith when he encountered
Pelton. The latter asked Webster if he
was whistling the "dead march, " and
il is said made some threat which caused
Webster to stop and warn him of the
consequences of his insolence. Pelton,
it was alleged, applied an offensive
epithet to Webster once or twice and
the latter returned when he was dealt
a heavy blow on the head by Pelton who
had taken grapevine club from the alley
in the mean time. Webster was half
dazed by the blow, and his hat having
been knocked off by the blow, he was
in stopping position endeavorlng to
secure it and a handkerchief which was
in it, when Pelton again emerged from
the alley and drove knife in his back.
Webster regained his feet and made his
way across the street and staggered and
fell on the pavement in front OF the
store now occupied by Mr.. P. NJ. Brad
shaw. His companions, who did not
know he had been stabbed until he fell,
carried him to the residence of the late
William Mills, on st. Asaph street, near
King, and DIR. Washington was sum-
moned, but Webster's life was ebbing
fast when the doctor arrived. He soon
Iapsed into unconsciousness and died.
Pelton was arrested and tried. The
jury brought in verdict of murder in
the second degree and he was sent to the
penitentiary for five years.

the Confederacy, subject to their consent.
By q vote of "a to IL The name proposed
for the united societies by special COM
mite last June in Richmond, "Vir-
mia Division, United Daughters OF
The Confederacy," was adopted, after
much discussion, many Directing to
giving up the name under which the
society had so long existed.
The same officers were reelected until
union could be effected, when new
officers will be selected.
The new constitution under which the
united societies will exist was voted for

action was taken after quite long de-
bate. The Daughters of the Confeder-
acy have headquarters in Richmond and
the United Daughters have their head
quarters in Alexandria.
After the constitution of the Virginia
division had been amended to permit
the consolidation, letter was read from

tolerate veterans, and that these were
being worn with great pride by them.

cemetery. A fine picket fence set in
granite has been placed around tho
grounds, and now an earnest effort Is be-
ing made TO erect monument to the
cause in the cemetery. She requested
the assistance Of other State chapters.

MONARCH RUBBER CO.,
At BRIDGE ST.

The Paramount correspondent of the
Whitehouse Review says Last Satur-
day A. II. Vannata, of this place, was
in an attic in Readington township
and discovered wonderful piece of
machinery which was made something
over one. hundred years ago. 1t is
made entirely of wood and not nailed
together. 1t is perfect in every way
and not harmed through the many
years it was in almost constant use.
1t is double spinning wheel for flax.
The lady who owned it was one of the
few who could spin with both hands ut
the same time. Mr.. yannatta pur-
chased the wheel and is having it re-
polished. When the wheel was first
placed in the family it was given by
the father to his daughter as n we'd
ding outfit for housekeeping, and he
told her to take the wheel and earn
her way through the world. AS she
took charge of it, she said "Father,
| thank you for this beautiful and
useful machine. / shall endeavor to
make all the linen goods needed for
my family, and while l use my feet
anti hands upon the wheel will praise
the Lord with my soul "
