Death of Mr.. PAT.

Mr.. Frederick Paff, whose critical i'll
ness had been mentioned in the Gazette,
died at his home, 2ll north Patrick
street, about o'clock yesterday even
ing. 1t was realized yesterday by those
who were watching at his bedside that
his strength was waning and that his
death was matter of but a short time.
He had been a sufferer from a complica-
ton of disorders, and his condition had
been alarming from the first. The de-
ceased was &C years old, having been
born in Elm, Hesse Cassel, Germany, in
1887. He left his native country when
but fourteen-y ear-old boy and came to
the United States, taking up his residence
in Baltimore. He remained there but
two years, when he came to Alexandra.
Apart from the time he served in the
Confederate army he had ever since re-
manned in this city. In early manhood
Mr.. Paff began the shoe business at the
bottom rung of the ladder and many old
residents remember in the latter part of
the ifties his modest sign in West End,
a short distance from the Stone Bridge
Industrious, courteous and fair in all
his dealings, he enjoyed the confidence
of the people of his adopted city which
he retained throughout life. Domestic
in his tastes and unassuming, he con-
centrated his energies and interest in his
family, church and his business hence
he prospered, and from a humble be-
ginning he lived to see himself president
of a shoe company which is expanding
its energies yearly and adding to Alex
andria's commercial prosperity. His
sober wishes kept him alOof from politics
and the only position he was ever known
to hold was that of member of the Board
of Health. Mr.. Paf' was a member of
Andrew Jackson Lodge of Masons, and
a deacon in the Second Presbyterian
Church. Besides his wife, the deceased
is survived by five children-Mrs. +. G.
Dieterich, of Washington; Mr.. F. J.
Paff, president of the Common Council,
Of this city; Mr.. c. B. Paff, and Mrs.
John NJ. Reid of this city, and Mr..
George A. Paf, of Sharon, Pa.

A CARD.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette;
Referring to the article published in your
issue of the 9th inst. headed Fire in Oyster
House." we desire to state for the benefit of
the public the facts in the case, which are as
follows Mr. George Meade discovered the
fire and ran to the Columbia engine house
and gave the alarm. The Columbia Company
turned out in all possible haste. leaving a
member of the company to turn in the alarm
to the other companies which he did by CIV
ing them the First district to which point the
Chief Engineer, Relief Hook and Ladder and
the HydrauliOn proceeded with their usual
promptneSs. Upon reaching the corner of
Wilkes and Fairfax streets, in the LIST district,
they were approached by a member of the
Columbia company who informed them that
the fire was near the Southern Railway depot,
which is in the 4th district. The Chief En-
gineer and both companies Immediately hur-
ried to the point indicated arriving there
sometime after the Columbia by reason OF
the fact that the wrong district had been
given when the alarm was turned in from the
Columbia engine house, whether intentional
" or not we do not know. The above was
witnessed by member Of the HydrauliOn
company, who was in the Columbia house al
the time, but he refused to diyulge the name OF
the person who turned the alarm in.

Alarms of Fire.

There were two alarms of fire early
last night. The first was started about
eight clock by yells of drunken man
in the northeastern part of the city.
All the boys in the streets at the time
cried "fire" and soon the apparatus was
out wandering aimlessly about. The
man who gave vent to the yells was ar
rested and locked up. About an hour
later the department was called out
again by a slight blaze in the wOodshed
on the premises of Orlando H. Ford,
106 south West treet. The flames
were confined to the shed and were soon
extinguished.

The Fishery.

Affairs at Fishtown have undergone no
material change during the past twenty
four hours. The rain and mud repro
duced the forlorn condition of yesterday.

wharf in vessels and 5000 or G, 600 by
river steamers. Shad are still scarce, as
are also bunch fish, although many of
the latter class, it is said, pass up to
Washington. Prices still hold their own
The fishery, so far, has been disappoint-
ing, the capriciOus weather interfering
greatly with operations at the shores and
with OILERS.
