New School House on Old Site.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the location of the
proposed new school building, which
needs to be corrected that citizens
may vote intelligently upon the
question at the election next Tues
day. The purpose and thought on
the part of the school board and COM
mon council is to build on the site Of
the present high school without adj
dition of more ground. The lot is
generally conceded to be large
enough, and outlay for more ground
unnecessary. The intention is that
material in the old building be util-
lied as far as practicable, and that
thus IL considerable saving will be
made.
Mechanics and others familiar with
buildings, generally agree that with
the material that can be saved from
the old building, and using the fur
niture and equipments therein as far
as practicable, the sum of 10000 will
be ample to erect and fully equip
the new building proposed.

Crushed in a Quarry.

Last saturday afternoon, while
Messrs. VIM. Trevillian and Frank
Keehn were at work in the Gorgen
quarry near this city, the bank above
them suddenly caved in, covering
them both. Mr. Keehn was unhurt
and able to extricate himself quick
ly. He at once looked for his COM
panion and finally discovered one of
Mr.. Trevlllian's feet protruding from
under mass of rock and dirt. Re-
moving the debris as quickly as pos
sible, Keehn found Trevillian alive
but insensible. The injured man
was taken to his home near by, and
surgeons summoned. His head and
right side of his face We're found to
be terribly cut and bruised, literally
a mass of wounds, and at first it was
thought that one eye was entirely
ruined, but later it is found that
the sight can be at least partly
saved. One arm and wrist is broken
and badly strained. One foot and
ankle is so badly mangled that am
patton was at first thought to be nee
essary, but later the doctors hope the
member may be saved. Whether or
not there are internal injuries is yet
undeveloped, and, while there is
hope Of recovery, such result is far
from a certainty at this writing.
Mr.. Trevillian is veteran of the
civil war, having served four years
in the 18th Wis. Inf, an honest, So
Der, industrious citizen, highly es.
teemed in the community. and that

many friends ready and anxious to
do whatever is possible for him.
LATER Wednesday, DIR. Vivian
reports Mr.. Trevillian in a fair way
to recovery.

some two years later on to the lady
whom he wooed with such ardent
swiftness-Mrs. Martha Custis.
Mrs. Custis was n widow-young,
charming, well connected.
Washington met her at a dinner,
loved her, and before the evening was
over had told her so.
Was not that a very human sort Of
lover?
Aud the next time they met they
were betrothed, each having taken the
other completely by storm, each car
ried in the swing of that reckless, i'm
petuous wooing.
And married they were, in January
of 1859, with the gayest of weddings.
The bride was lovely in brocade and
pearls, the bridegroom correspondingly
magnificent in blue and silver and
scarlet, with gold buckles at his knees
and on his shoes.
After which the bride was driven
home in a coach and six, while her
husband, at the head Of a magnif-
Gently uniformed party, rode just be-
side her. And they were, as all the
world knows, happy ever after.

And when Colonel George Wash
ington, that 1.-The impressive figure,
handsomely mounted and accoutred,
with the inspiring consciousness that
his fame had preceded him, rode
proudly into New York, there was
probably not a human being he would
have been more glad to impress favor
ably than Mary Phillipse.
Nobody wondered, for the fact was
perfectly evident that Washington
loved Mary Phillipse-the noble-look-
ing girl, with her exquisite round con-
tours, brilliant color, and the fire Of
an untamed spirit burning in her eyes.
What did seem strange was the calm
impartiality with which the spoiled
beauty classed Washington with a
score of other admirers.
For he was the very picture, at this
time, of the gallant that maidens love,
with his pale, aqualine face and mill
tary figure set off by a uniform Of

let cloak over his shoulders and a
sword knot Of red and gold. His
horses London made trappings were
marvel Of magnifcence, while be!
side him there usually rode two aides,
dressed in buff and blue. Behind were
the colonefs servants, dressed in the
Washington cOlors Of white and scar
let and wearing hats laced with
silver.
A pretty bit Of pageantry and a
brave knight in whose honor 1t was!
But the unfortunate part Of this
pretty story is that It has no ending!
Washington summoned his aides and
servants and rode back South one
day, and If Mary Phillipse ever had
any regrets she was wise enough not
to confde them.
But deeply wounded though he was,
the colonel's heart did not break. In
stead he kept 1t sound and inviolate

times in the South masters used to
perform the marriage ceremony, but
on the occasion of Edmund's wedding
Augustine Washington was i'll, and
Parson Libbey, who was a member
of the family circle, was called upon
to officiate.
Uncle Edmund's successor as guard
of the tomb of Washington is Thomas
Bushrod, another venerable negro,
who for the last eight years has been
sexton at Pohick Church, in Fairfax
County, Virginia, with which Wash
ington was so closely Identified.
Washington served on the committee
that selected the site and superin-
tended it's construction and was a
vestryman and warden Of the parish
for many years.
Thomas Bushrod was born in 1925
near Warrenton, Farquhar County,
He was a slave of the Fitzhugh
family from 1S47, when his home was
changed to a plantation near Pohick
Church in Fairfax County, where he
has since lived. He is a man Of ven
erable appearance, and quaint dignity
and fully appreciates his responsible

1t seems that the movement against
the smoke nuisance in London began
more than 600 years ago, and was CO.
incident with the discovery of coal in
the north of England. 1t appears that
the coal smoke caused no immediate
annoyance to the inhabitants of Lon
don, but a "smoke act" was passed
about the time of Edward l. in order
that knights of the shire" might suf-
fer no injury to their health while at
tending to their duties during the sit
tings of Parliament. Since the first
smoke act the London Council has
adopted many laws and regulations
for abating the smoke evil. Under the
last smoke act Of Parliament passed
in 1891, it is made an offense to use
furnace, on premises devoted to trade
purposes, so constructed as not to pre-
vent smoke. The public health author
tiles are empowered to enforce this
act, but as it does not apply to private
houses the sources Of a good portion OF
the smoke that beclouds London are
not reached.

war. Then he went back to his ole
home again, and in 1874 was appoint
ed guard at the tomb Of Washington
by the Ladies' Association, where he
remained until he was taken i'll, and
for six months was a great sufferer
from cancer Of the stomach until
death released him. The regents pen
stoned him, did everything for his
comfort and paid his funeral eX
penses.
Uncle Edmund was the father OF
nineteen children, nine of whom are
still living and visited him during his
illness. He "disremembered" the
date, but was very proud of the fact
that he was married in the library OF
Mount Vernon mansion by ParsoD
Libbey in the presence Of the Wash
ington family and was the only slave
who ever had that honor. In olden

From sources that are ordinarily
trustworthy it is learned that land agi-
tation in Ireland has lately assumed
more serious appearance than at any
time since the agrarian troubles Of the
eighties The centre Of the present un-
rest is Connaught, where the tenants
of several large estates are making de-
mands which their landlords reject as
altogether unreasonable. They demand
that the lands be sold to them, and that
pending the sale the rents should be
reduced Gs. Sd. in the pound, which is
practically a third. The refusal of the
landlords to accede 10 this demand
has led to the refusal of the tenants to
pay any rent whatever. The Govern
ment is already at work suppressing
meetings Of disaffected tenants, and
the latter on their side have once more
set the boycott at work. The landlords
say that the present terms under which
land sales TO tenants are negotiated
are ruinOus to the vendors, and unless
the Government makes some changes
in the laws England may expect to
have a revival Of the old agrarian trou-
bles IN the very near future.

In the official announcement Of the

The old man died with the old year
and is greatly missed by all the ha-
bitues OF that sacred place, for he
had been there since 1871, with oc-
casional intervals of absence during
the war; He was born in 1927 at

But all this was the mere appren-
ticeship at love--a preliminary school
ing in the world Of women. The lively
Sallies and Betsies who coquetted
with Washington at fourteen left no
permanent scar. Susceptible as he
was, he never yielded the whole of his
generous heart until one February day
in 1856, when the handsomest young
officer in America met and loved the
most brilliant and beautiful young
woman of her time. There was no
