The Portner Brewery.

Mr.. /. NJ. Davis, head carpenter at
the PoItner Brewery, is engaged in the
preliminaries Of converting the old cot
ton factory plant into battling estab-
lishment. 1t is expected that this work
will be finished in time to transfer the
present bottling adj unct to meet the spring
trade. 1t is understood that the demand
for the product of the Portner plant ex-
ceeds the output and bottled goods in
the near future will be the leading fea-
ture of the Alexandria brewery. The car
shop which not only facilitates repairs
with greater dispatch than having work
done elsewhere is at present over
hauling the refrigerator cars for
soring trade. The Portner Company
now has upwards of thirty branch depots
extending as far south as Augusta, Ga.
Their twenty-five cars supply these, yet,
of course, in number of other places
such as Norfolk, Newport News, Hamp-
ton and Elizabeth City, n. c., shipment
is largely by boat, and good deal OF
trade is supplied through regular rail
road facilities, not special.

Kissed to Death.

Betty, the infant Roscius, when at
the zenith of his Juvenile fame was on
one occasion walking with some ladies'
when anotlier bevy of female admirers
bore down upon him and. pulling him
away from his companions, commenced
to lavish upon him endearments and
kisses. The others promptly rushed to
their idols rescue, who between the
sontending parties, each determined TO
possess the boy actor, was thrown 10
the ground and so much bruised ana
injured as to be unable to appear for a
couple OF pights.
insignificant, however, was this mis-
chance to the fate that befell NJ. de
Langy. q courtier of the time of Louis
XIV, whose supreme conceit so irritat-
ed certain ladies of the court that they
resolved to infict upon him a novel
punishment. Feigning one day to be
overcome by the beauty Of his face and
person, they fell upon him en- masse
hugglng and kissing the wretched dan
DIV till he cried for mercy. Deaf to his
entreatiee. the ladies continued their
merciless caresses until the object OF
their mock love, who indeed was but O
sorry weakllng, in endeavoring to break
away from their clutches broke blood
vessel and died few days later.

Victim of Fatal Accident.

As was stated in the Gazette, Charles
A. Ward, an apprentice in the South
ern Railway shops in this city was
crushed to death while at work upon
locomotive in the railway roundhouse
about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
The facts in connection with the dis
tressing accident are as follows; Inc
engine was in the r0undhouse at the time
and was what is known as "dead, or
without steam. A number OF men had
been moving the engine by means of
pinch-bars. The front rod of the right
hand side of the engine had been de-
tached from the crank-pin and was kept
in horizontal position by piece of
board placed on the slide running from
the cylinder. While young Mr.. Ward
was standing with his back to the driv-
ing wheel, which was being slowly
moved, the crank bore down on the
detached rod. He was caught by the
side, but in endeavoring to extricate
himself he evidently turned and was
borne down between the pin and
the rod and slowly mashed. His
fellow-workmen hastened to his as
sistance, the rod was lifted from his
body and he was carried, still breathing,
though unconscious, into one of the
offices adjacent to the shops, and DIR. NJ.
w. O'Brien was summoned. Surgical
skill, however, was powerless and the
young man died about half an hour after
the accident happened. The remains
were removed to the undertaking es-
tablishment of w. Domaine q Son, and
DIR. William r. Purvis, the coroner,
notified. DIR. Purvis Investigated the
matter last night, but did not decide
whether an inquest would be necessary
Ward was about twenty years of age and
had been an apprentice in the South ern
shop about three years.

Rabbits AS AcrObnts.

The rat is, as no one will doubt, a
very fair climber He can scamper
about anywhere on the roof of barn
or can ascend the ivy that grows on
the house wall and make the lives or
the pigeons in their cots anything but
happy ones. The rabbit, on the other
hand. is not usually accounted a climb
ing animal A writer in Field describes
the establishment of his sisters at see
Ing a rabbit jump from the bough OF a
tree and, picking himself up, "scamper
of rather dazed to his warren" Wher-
ever a rabbit is found in tree except
when ne Is carried there by Hood or
left there by a receding snowdrift 1t
will be found that n sloping bank or
other easy method of approach has
been made use Of. He Is, however, very
expert at climbing stone walls that
bound his fields and even. the wire net
ting that the farmer valnly imagines
will keep him from the choicest crops.
We have seen rabbits run up the face
of a quarry 10 their holes toward the
TOP. n feat which we have not found 1t

Another Fire.

Another fire-the third which has oc-
Cured in the radius of two squares dur
ing the past ten days-broke out about
one O'Clock this morning in two-story
frame house on the south side of Glib
bon street, near Royal. The house was
occupied by a colored woman named
Dinah Harris, who has several children.
The fire, from some unknown cause,
started in the back part of the house:
Fortunately the inmates were awakened
and escaped injury. In less time than
it takes to tell it the greatest excitement
prevailed in the neighborhOOd. All the
houses on the square are of wood, most
of which are occupied by colored people,
and the CONSERVATION among them was
great. Children were awakened, some
of whom screamed, and the discharge OF
firearms and blowing of police whistles
awakened people in every direction.
The fire in the meantime burned fiercely.
The inmates of the house, who seemed
to be on the first floor, tumbled out OF
The windows and willing hands removed
most of the furniture. The fire depart
ment went to work as soon as possible
and in few minutes subdued the
flames combining the fire to the build
ing in which it originated. The house
belonged to Mrs. Ellen Nugent.

LEE STATUE AND THE LAW.

The proposition on the part of the
Virginia legislature to present a statue
of Robert Z. Lee to the United States,
to be placed in Statuary Hall of the
Capitol in Washington, continues to be a
subject of wide discussion in Washington.
Conflicting opinions have been express
ed as to who has the power OF choice III
the matter, hut the law is clear in that
particular. AS has heretofore been stated
in the Gazette, under an act of Congress
approved July 2, 1864, the power OF
choice in the selection of the personages
who shall be represented by these statues
is left entirely with the different States.
The law of that date il as follows:
"The President is hereby authorized
to invite each and all the States to pro-
vide and furnish statues in bronze or
marble, not exceeding two in number OF
each State, Of deceased persons who have
been citizens thereof aud illustrious for
their historic renown, or from distinguish
ed civic or military service, such rs each
State shall determine to be worthy OF
their national cOmmemoration; and
when so furnished, the same shall be
placed in the old hall of the House OF
Representatives in the Capitol of the
United States, whichis hereby set apart,
or so much thereof as may be necessary,
as national statuary hall forthe purpose
herein indicated"
This law cannot be repealed except by
concurrent action of the two branches oil
Congress.
1t is the usual custom when statue
is presented by State to have some
ceremony in the matter The accept
ance of the statue of Gen. Grant is re-
called in that connection. There were
speeches in both the House and the
Senate upon the occasion. In every case
the Congress has has taken cognizance
of the gift except in the last presenta-
ton. that of statue of Marquette by
the State of Wisconsin. There were
strong objections entered to its accept,
ance by the American Protestant Asso-
citation, which, however, were unayall-
ing, tor the statue now stands in the
hall, though it is said that Congress has
never taken cognizance of that fact.
There have been other times when OBJ
iections were made to the acceptance OF
statues. A notable case was that OF the
Lincoln statue, which Charles Sumner
opposed. Another interesting fact in
this connection is that Georgia, it is
said, proposes to present a statue o
Alexander Stephens to the government
for a position in the hall.

THE CAMPBELL CAsE.-In Richmon

THE CAMPBELL CASE Richmond
Yesterday during the Campbell investi-
cation John T. Bowen, farm er of Am
herst county, stated that he was standing
outside of a window of the courthouse
the last night of the Campbell trial and
overheard an alteration between men,
bers of the jury. One of them wanted
to bring in verdict for common as
sault. The other members, according
to his statement, declared that they had
already promised Judge Campbell an
acquittal and that he expected it. AS
further argument, they declared that
if they brought in any other verdict
than not guilty the friends of Judge
Campbell in the courtroom would lynch
them. Marcellus Rose, colored, stated
that Judge Campbell sent him twice on
Sunday to Days drug store for whisky.
The drinking of whisky in Judge Camp
BELLS office from his prescription bot
tie" told by Mr.. Sandige last week,
was confirmed by other witnesses. Rev.
Arthur P. Gray, of Amherst, gave an
outline of moral conditions there. A
number of other witnesses were ex-
aniined, and Mr.. Strobe secured per-
mission to summon two others.
