Death of Mai. Mallam.

Mai. Charles L. Mallam, an aide on
the staff of Gen. Burnside during the
civil war, died at Hampton Wednesday
morning, and will be buried at Airing
ton tomorrow. Mai. Mallam was a MEM
Der of an ancient country family Of Ok
ford and being commissioned in the
Odd Hussars. one of the renowned cav
airy regiments of the British army, was
actively engaged in the war with China,
the Indian mutiny and the Crimean war.
In 1861 he came to the United States,
with high military recommendations,
and having been much employed in ord
nance duties in his own service va
sent into the field as an assistant to
Mai. Horace Porter, the present ambas-
sador to France. Being appointed to
the staff of the 9th Corps, he served dur
ing the siege of Knoxville and IN the
campaigns of the Army of the Potomac
TO the end of the war, being widely
known in that army as one of the most
daring and skillful horsemen among Its
many famous riders. Major Mallam
will be remembered by all old Alexan-
drians. he having married Miss Carrie
Massey. daughter of the late VIM. ID.
Massey postmaster of this city during
war times. Major and Mrs. Maliam ieil
here a few years after the close OF the
war and located in Washington. Do
nestle trouble followed and divorce
was the result.

Gas in Engine Houses.

The action of the committee on light
in calling attention to the large amount
of gas consumed in the engine houses,
and which was referred to the Board of
Fire Wardens by the City Council on
Tuesday night is to be commanded. 1t
was one step in gradual and proper
economy in the management OF the gas
works which was promised the peo-
pie last April when it was also promised
that business principles and not senti-
,nent would he the order on the compile
ton of the new works. The matter,
however, of lighting the houses and fur
nishing heat for the engines, is really not
so costly as it appears. For the year
ending May 81, 1902, as shown IN the
city report, page 40, the Hydraullon IS
charged with $40, $50 feet offs gas at l.SO
or SAB. o.; the Columbia 81, 100 feet
or $404. 40, total Ss47.47 -Four years
ago, 1898, TIE Columbia used l6l, 600
feet, the Hydraulion 226, 900 at 81. 40
per thousand, or $54l.S0 go it appears
that with gas ten cents less it cost about
$500 more this year than in 1898.
These figures appear high and oil
course should the Fire Wardens ascer-
tain that there is an unusual con-
sumption and unne cessary waste, they
should correct it. As fact, however,
the cost of all gas to the city is not
half as great as shown in the reports.
Take from each house 20, 600 feet for
lighting purposes (the Hook and
Ladder used $4,000 and $4,000 re-
mains for engine heaters. The cost OF
this gas for city purposes is only what it
costs to put it in the gas holder and
place it in the engine houses. Sixty
cents per thousand is liberal allowance
for the SIP, 600 feet, or a cost OF S3OI.-
20. In making their report the com
mittee on light correctly charge gas at
selling price to show the earnings OF the
works, but in any contemplated change
the Fire Wardens will probably first
consider whether there has been a
waste, and if so apply a remedy, and
if there has been proper care, then con-
slider the question from the STANDPOINT
of convenience and economy.

Reductions at southern Depot.

The building Of the new round mouse.
carpenters shop, power house ana pam
shop at the Southern Railway depot II,
this city. the increase OF the NUMBER OF
mechanics and apprentices and the re-
moval of the Offices from Charlottesville
to Alexandria had caused considerable
satisfaction hereabouts; but, like many
other acts of capricious Fortune, that
tickle one has, it is feared, sent frost
mon the work. 1t was stated few days
ago that material reductions were being
made in the number of Office employees
and that the force of carpenters was to
be depleted. 1t was hoped that this was
merely temporary movement and that
in short time all would again be at
work. Such hopes, however, are feared
to be vain, as it is said much OF the
work heretofore done in this city is to be
taken to other places. A day or so ago
it was noticed that number of newly
made cabs for locomotives reached this
CITY on train. They told the tale.
Sucb work. it is said, will hereafter be
executed at Manchester and the re-
pairing at Spencer. 1t is reported that
the company has but limited stock OF
lumber here, that no arrangements have
been made to replenish the stock, and
when all shall have been exhausted no
more will be procured. 1t is also re-
ported that the pay of some of the labor
ers has been reduced Notices have been
posted in some of the shops announcing
that after tomorrow the men will work
only nine hours day. All this will be
read with sincere regret by many when
it is realized that the Southern Railway
has obtained everything it ever asked
from the city Of Alexandra. Union
street from the shipyard to Point West
has been practically turned over to the
company, while Wilkes street of late has
been used to place trains not in motion
in order to relieve the congestion in the
yards. Apart from these Payne street
for two squares from Duke to Wilkes
has been closed by the increasing traffic
of the company while track has
been laid on Fayette street to form
a Y at Wolfe. Mr.. c. f. Thomas,
former master mechanic, endeavored to
keep all the railroad work possible in
this city. 1t is to be regretted that the
company finds it necessary or convenient
to change this order of things.

Allhallows Eve.

Halloween or the vigil of All Hallows
or All Saints Day will be celebrated
tonight, and, as customary, VIII be gwen
over to games and pranks more or less
unhallowed, but generally time honored.
One of the most popular ways OF cele-
brating the eve of late years has been
the custom of throwing around bags OF
flour or handfulIs Of the same which Is
an idea no doubts borrowed from the
custom in Latin countries of casting con-
fetti at friend and foe on holiday oc-
casions. Crowds Of boys and girls gener-
ally make it interesting, not only for
themselves, but for Others, through this
custom of casting about flour. The
Mayor, however as stated yesterday, has
instructed the policemen to prevent any
unseeingly and boisterous conduct. To-
morrow All Saints Day will be observed
with particular ceremony in the Roman
Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran
churches in particular

Refused the Request.

The authorities of the electric railway
company this morning asked permission
from Mayor Simpson to be allowed to
run coal cars tonight through the city to
the New Alexandria power house. The
request was refused by the Mayor. The
latter in announcing his decision in the
matter implied that the company in Its
dealings with the city showed but little
disposition to reciprocity, and was con-
tinually asking favors but was hard to
move when the city wanted it to facilitate
work in which Alexandria was interested.
1t was suggested that if coal was not re-
ceived at the power house during the
night the Mount Vernon division OF the
road would be tied up by nine O'Clock
tomorrow morning. The Mayor SAID
that was a matter which did not concern
him. Coal will either be transported by
barge up Hunting creek or carried IN
carts across the west bridge over the
creek

New Wharf.

The new wharf now being constructed
bv Mr.. J. w. Hammond in font OF the
Mutual Ice Company's plant, foot OF

the appearance of the river font. It is
100 feet wide and will be composed al
most entirely of earth. The unsightly
islands, remnants of previous piers,
which had for many years been a
menace to navigation, have been in
corporated into the new wharf. 1t IS

nearby.

Will Hold no Meetings.

The apathy of the republican party III
this CITY is manifest from the fact that
the lead srs have concluded to hold no
public meetings previous to the fall
election. Very sensibly they realize
their impotence in the face of the demo-
cratic tidal wave which is sure to rush
over the Eighth Congressional district
next week. Mr.. Skinker, who is
posing as Mr.. Rixey's opponent, will,
of course, pass into a total eclipse, as
have all his predecessors who have dur
ing the past thirty-three years attempted
to stand before the democratic nominee
in this banner district.

nose to attend. Music has been pro-
cured and a special invitation has been
extended ladies who will grace the oc-
casion with their presence. While there
is no serious opposition to the reelection
of Mr. Rixey, it is nevertheless inspir-
ing for the members of the democratic
party to gather and listen to such men
as Senator Daniel and Representative
Rixey portray the issues which are now
before the country and on which the voters
will be called upon to pass ID the near
future. Such movements may be hkened
to religious reyiyals, at times necessary
in order that old and familiar truths
may be kept to the front. 1t is hoped
full house will greet the speakers and
that there will be an old-time democratic
