ALEXANDRIA. Va. Aug 14-Mayor
Simpson is again investigating the com
plants of citizens residing on Fayette
Street concerning the odor that comes
from cars passing over the tracks of
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroad. carrying garbage from
Washington en- route to Cherry Hill. al
most fourteen miles below here Mayor
Simpson is OF the opinion that unneces-
sary delay in getting the cars through
this city was responsible for the nu-
merous complaints.
Representatives of a chemical plant
situated on New Jersey Avenue and X
Streets, Washington. from which the
waste products are shipped. yesterday
afternoon visited Mayor Simpson and
stated that the garbage was transported
over the streets of Washington from the
company's plant to the Long Bridge in
the same tanks that pass through the
streets OF this city and that no COM
plant is made from Washington rest,

Mayor Simpson threatens to put a stop
to the whole matter of hauling the cars

Most Favorable Feature.

This was the most favorable develop
ment of the day, and it is one which
will have to continue to insure the sue
cess OF the present bull campaign in the
stock market. The heaviest dealings
today were in Southern Pacific. That
stock supplied nearly sixth of the total
transactions and enjoyed an unusual net
advance of 2h points, closing only a
shade below the highest price. A pool
that was formed in it several months
ago was apparently responsible for the
movement.
In sympathy Union Pacific, which has
been neglected for some time and which
was far from being active. today ad-
vanced more than a point. The so-called
Gould group of stocks was prominent
feature Of the speculation. Missouri Pa
cific and Texas Pacific were equally ac-
tive. and were second only TO Southern
Pacific in that respect. Texas Pacific
was the stronger OF the two, scoring a
gain OF 15@ per cent.
There was revival of interest in
Wabash issues, particularly the pre-
ferred, and ST. Louis Southwestern is
sues received fair amount of atten-
tion. Western Union participated in the
movement. but Manhattan Railway was
comparatively neglected.

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.-Advices from

sections encouraged the leaders in the
stock market to extend their ventures.
Their aggressive buying naturally stimu-

closed higher than last night.
simultaneously with the cheerful news
regarding the staple crops of this coun-
try there came to hand reports OF dam
age to the crops in various parts of Eu-

of breadstuffs this fall would be large is

A large steamer was once wrecked
one of the sailors was named
West. The vessel was outward bound
from Rotterdam, and the sailor was on
deck polishing some brasswOrk. Sud
denly the captain called hin and told
him to go below. The second officer on
the bridge heard the captain call out
the mans name and thought it was an
order to change the curse of the vessel
to west. He did so. and the result was
that the ship ran on to n dangerous
shOal. That name cost the owners of
the vessel the sum of 100000.

many of their best customers by one
stroke OF President Burt's pen. We are
