naath Of an Alexandrian.

Mr.. James A. Clarridge, native OF
this city, but for the past thirty years a
resident of Washington, died suddenly
in that city yesterday from heart disease.
The deceased was in his Goth year. He
was druggist by profession, and ac-
quired the rudiments of his calling previ-
GUS to the civil war in the late Henry
Cooks store, southeast corner of King
and Alfred streets. Upon reaching his
majority he and Mr.. Blake Grigg enter
ed into a partnership and the firm of
Clarridge & Grigg at the northwest cor
ner of King and Royal streets for sew
eral years enjoyed share of public
patronage. Later the firm was dissolved
and Mr.. Clarridge went to Washington,
where he had since lived. In ante
bellum DAYS he was librarian of the
Alexandria Library when it was in
Lyceum Hall, since metamorphosed in
to residence and now occupied by DR..
Mcclure. He was member of Andrew
Jackson Lodge of Masons, Mount Yer
non Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and
of Washington Commandery of Knights
Templar. He was also a 92d degree
Mason. The deceased was courteous
and quiet in demeanor and popular with
all who knew him and the many friends
of his youth in his native home will re-
greet to hear of his death. The funeral
will take place in Washington tomor-
row afternoon.

Yesterdays Storms.

The warm weather of yesterday was
followed by light rain and cooler con-
ditions about four O'Clock in the after
noon. There was some thunder and
lightning. The storm cloud seemed to
split after having gathered west of the
city, and parts sailed north and south.
While the wind for few minutes was
strong, there was nothing approaching
a storm, but south of this city, it is said,
the disturbance was terrific. On the line
of the electric railway trees were blown
down and considerable damage was done
by the elements. In some instances it was
necessary for the train hands 70 remove
fallen fruit trees from the track before
the cars could proceed. The wires and
poles were also damaged blythe storm,
and while no serious loss resulted much
Inconvenience was experienced. Light
ming struck in several places between this
city and Mount Vernon, but no
material damage resulted. The storm
is said to have been severe on the
river and at the various resorts. IL

she reached Leonardtown with a large
colored excursion party aboard, and as
it was impossible for all Of the crowd to
get under shelter, many had to submit
to thorough soaking. The steamer

County Democrats.

The Alexandria county democratic
committee met Tuesday to determine
whether or not a primary should be held
to nominate candidates for the coming
election, but no definite action was
taken on account of the wide diversity of
opinion among the candidates as to
the desirability of primary. 1t is posi-
BILE that another meeting will be held in
a few days to determine the question and
it is said that the Alexandria city COM
mittee will be invited to attend this
meeting to decide upon a date for a
democratic primary to nominate can
didate for the House of Delegates. There
are a large number of candidates for the
various Offices in Alexandria county.
Henry l.. Holmes, colored, republican,
who has been the commissioner OF reve-
nue. in the county for number OF years,
will be opposed by Curtis Graham and
Harry Thomas, democrats, and Oden B..
GRAY, republican. The number Of demo.
Gratis for each office would be reduced if
a primary should be held, but in view OF
opposition to a primary it is hardly
probable that one will be held.

No Strike.

1t was reported yesterday that a strike
was on among the telegraph operators of
the Southern Railway. r. NJ. Hartsock,
manager of the force in Washington aud
a great iavonte among the telegraphers,
was given two months leave OF
absence. 4 rumor that the leave was
virtually discharge caused dissension
in the office, and as a result several
telegraphers were notified that their
designations would be accepted. Charles
A. barton, superintendent of telegraph,
says that there was no strike III prog,
ress. bat that several operators had
been discharged. In regard to the re-
mova of Manager Hartsock, he said that
his place would be filled temporarily
by new appOintee.

HEDGES REMOVED

Charles Hedges was yesterday removed
from the Office of superintendent of free
delivery of the Postofice Department on
the charge of falsifying his diary and
loaning his travelling commission. 1t is
charged that he reported himself at va
rious places when in fact he was not at
those places on the dates mentioned, in
some instances being hundreds of miles
away.
Mr.. Hedges, while making no general
denial of the charges, contended that
there was not sufficient justification for
removal. Erwin III. Thorpe, postoffice
inspector in charge at New York, who
has been assisting in the administra-
ton of the free delivery service since the
inception of the investigation, has been
designated acting superintendent of free
delivery in place of Mr. Hedges.
The following is the official statement
of the case made public yesterday by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
BristOw:
"Charles Hedges was removed from
the office of superintendent of free
delivery for classifying his diary and
loaning his travelling commission. He
reported himself at various places on
public business when in fact he was not
in those places on the dates mentioned,
but elsewhere, in some instances hum
dreds of miles distance. On October
%, 1900, he stated under oath, in
his diary, that he was at Joplin,
Mo-, on extension Of free deliv-
cry service" when in fact he was in
Mansfield, Ohio, attending the funeral
of ex-Secretary John Sherman. On
December 7, 1899, he reports himself at
San Antonio, Tex, investigating car
riers' service, while in fact he was in
Mexico examining mining property. In
the month OF October, 1899, a. w.
Machen, superintendent of free delivery,
was sick with typhoid fever, and Hedges
was at the department acting as super
intendent. In his diary he states, under
oath, that he was at various places
namely, New York, Philadelphia,
Bridgeport, CT; Camden, n. j., and
elsewhere, actually engaged in travelling
on the business of the free delivery ser
vice. Assistant superintendent of free
delivery are allowed per diem of 81
per day in lieu of expenses for each day
engaged actually travelling on the bust
ness of the department. Hedges false
statements as to his whereabouts these
days were manifestly for the purpose of
collecting per diem to which he was not
entitled. There are many other in
stances of similar Justification. The facts
were submitted to the Postmaster Cen
eral some days since, who directed
Hodges removal for the reasons above
set forth"
Mr.. Hedges was appointed to the pos.
tai service from the Tenth congressional
district of Texas on July /, 1898, and
was appointed superintendent of free
delivery July /, 1901. His salary was
SO, 900 year. He had charge OF the
delivery service in the cities,-th the rural
free delivery service being under another
superintendent, and both being under
tile general supervision of August w.
Machen.

Police Court Notes.

A young negro man was before the
Mayor this morning charged with as
saulting sable female. There were
six witnesses and twenty-five colOred
spectators of both sexes. The man, it
was alleged, knocked the woman down
and made a football of her. The de-
tense averred that the woman instigated
the trouble and struck the man twice
with brick. The latter was fined $40.
Five tramps, who had been arrested
at the Southern Railway depot this
morning, were arraisned in the dock.
One of the party had but one arm.
He had been. bleeding, having been
punished by one of the officers for resist
ing and fighting him after he had been
placed under arrest. Another who
proved that he did not belong to the
party, but had been caught in the
policemen's net, was allowed to depart
in peace, but the others were placed i'll
confinement on bread and water. This
mode of dealing with troublesome
tramps is said to be effective. Those
who have been subjected to it have
since steered clear of Alexandria.

Largo Steamer.

The British steamer Myrtledene,
probably the largest vessel which ever
came otbis port anchored off the city yes
terday evening. The Myrtledene carried
a cargo of asphalt from Trinidad to
Washington. 1t has been long time
since British steamer was in these
waters, the last having been the
Hughenden, which brought fertilizer to
w. A. Smoot & Co., in the spring OF
1885. During war times the largest
steam vessels aaoat came to Alex
andria. The Atlantic and Baltic of the
Collins line will be remembered by all
old citizens as familiar objects in the
Potomac. Vessels of this class now,
however, are almost as scarce hereabouts
as mermaids and sea serpents.

Horses and Buggy Recovered

When Detectives o. Brien and Parham
reached Glen Echo, Nd, yesterday morn
ing in their search for the team of
horses which Charles and Louis Keeper,
respectively, reported had been stolen
from them Tuesday night, they found both
animals by the roadside and the buggy
smashed to pieces. One horse was lying
in ditch, unable to get up, and covered
with mud. The animals were brought
to Washington and turned over to Burg
DORIS livery stable, where the men had
hired them. The finding of the horses
and buggy would seem TO confirm Mr..
Burgdorf's theory that it was runway
instead of a hold-up.

Working ON Aeroplane.

Professor Langley's airship promoters
accomplished considerable amount OF
work yesterday with the assistance of a
tugboat from Washington, which passed
this city for Whitewater yesterday morn
ing. No attempt was made to tow the
ark back to its former anchorage, from
which it was blown by the gale on Sat
urday. Shortly after the arrival of the
tug the larger part of the airship party
went on board and steamed to the Mary
land shore, near Liverpool landing,
where the mysterious operation of pound
ing stakes into the beach was performed.
When the newspaper boats paid a visit
to the ark at 6 o'clock yesterday morning
they were greeted with salute from a
soldiers Krag-Jorgensen. The soldier
fred repeatedly at log floating down
stream, and not at the reporters, but he
was giving warning of the reception
trespassers might anticipate from the
army end of the expedition.
