Lynchbure Couple Married.

Mr.. Walter Preston Tyree and Miss
Mary Carter Glass, both of Lynchburg,
were married in Washington last night.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. E. G.
Glass, superintendent Of the public
schools of Lyncbburg, and a niece of
Representative Carter Glass, of the Sixth

sition on the part Of the parents of the
bride to the marriage, and, according to
a pre-arranged plan, Mr.. Tyree left
Lynchburg Sunday night and arrived
in Washington yesterday morning. He
found friend to help him out, and to-
gether they called on Rev. Frank NJ.

Fire at Colu mbia Engine House.

Shortly before two O'Clock this morn
ing the frame building in the rear of the
Columbia engine house was found to be
burning. An alarm was sounded and as
soon as possible the Columbia and other
app aratus of the department were at
wor endeavoring to subdue the flames.
The Gremen's efforts, however, were futile
as alb, mt all that could be done was to con-
fine the conhagration to the frame build
ing. This was completely destroyed,
together with its contents, consisting OF
the reel. which was feature in last
Mondays process don, an exercise wagon,
five sections of hose, extra wheels ten
gum coats, half dozen pairs OF gum
boots ond sundry other articles. The
building has been used as an extra, or
hospital, stable. and was also the recep-
tacle for much of the property OF the
company and for hay. 1t was located
west of and almost adjoining the engine
house proper. There is considerable spec
ulation a. to the cause of the fire. Mr..
Kingston Radcliffe, who was sleeping IN
the small room on the first floor which
opens on the alley, seems to have been the
first person to discover the fire. he says
his attention was attracted by man run
ming down the alley, and when be rose
he found that the rear building was
burning. 1t is said by members of the
company that a can of gasoline which
was in the southwestern corner OF the
burning building is missing. Officers
Roberts and Henderson we're on the beat
when the fire was discovered and they
soon made the alarm general.

FOREIGN NEWS.

Advices from China indicate most
serious situation in Kwang 81 province,
especially on the Human border The
rebels practically control the situation,
and the imperial troops are quite in
adequate to cope with them. The move
ment against the dynasty is reported to
be spreading with incredible rapidity.
A movement is on foot in Berlin for the
establishment of an Anglo.American board of
trade. The scheme also includes the estab-
lishment by the proposed board of a perma-
nent exhibition of English and American
products. The embassies Of the countries
concerned are supporting the movement.

Communication with Washington.

People compelled to travel daily be-
tween Alexandra and Washington
and the number is steadily increasing
are again complaining of the prevailing
uncomfortable conditions existing in the
way of transportation. There is but one
boat on the ferry line, which is sup
posed to make bi-hourly trips up to
about dark. The other steamer-the
Belle Hayen-was inspected last week
and many material repairs we're ordered
to be placed on her before she will be
allowed 20 transport passengers again.
So far no one seems TO know whether or
not the company will make the required
outlay. The electric cars often require
considerable time from one cause or an
other to make the run between the two
cities, and now and then only single
cars are run, and they are packed as
close as street cars coming from theatres
of large cities. Besides, it is not al
ways possible for all who desire to do so
TO board them, as the platforms are
crowded ON many occasions. The steam

one local train no dependence can be
placed on the others, as they arrive here
at uncertain hours, and some do not
stop here. 1t is said that one day last |
week people on the electric cars were
to hoist umbrellas during a
heavy rain which beat through the roofs. |
These discOmforts, together with the alb
sence of heat in the cars, are believed to
be in msasure responsible for the
epidemic of colds and grip in the city
Attention has been called to the facts
given above on recent occasion and it
IS hoped that now that spring is ap-
something will be done to
better the travelling facilities between
the two cities. Two good ferry boats
would be great desideratum, and now
that part of the electric road has been
loublei-tracked the remainder of the
work could be pushed and the running
Of trains considerably improved.

nouble- Tracking R., F. g. P. Road.

The work of d0uble-tracking the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road between Richmond and Quantico is
progressing very rapidly, despite the
long spell of inclement weather the con-
tractors have had to contend with. At
present the rails have been laid from a
few miles of Ashland to Acca, and good
many freight trains have been handled
over the new tracks as a test. When
this work is completed theIroad will lie
Strengthened considerably at points be-
tween Ashland and Ashland Park, and a
new bridge will be constructed over the
South Anna river at Taylorsville, there
by strengthening the track at that point
where there is an 50 curve. Large
forces of hands are working at various
points between Ashland and Quantico,
and it is safe to predict that before sum-
mer is over trains will be running over a
large portion of the double track.

this season comes from the Northern

is said to have sister in Alexandria, bought
a scalpers' ticket in St. Louis few days ago
which entitled her to ride to New York. She
was told that when she reached Washington
she would be given rebate Of 81 in that city.
She found that the ticket was for a second
class passage and she was compelled to ride
in a smoking car. The dealer refused 70 give
her 81 for the ticket when she reached Wash
ingt0n, alleging it was out of date, and hay-
ing no money she had to stay at the Florence
Crittenton Home last night.
