THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 2, 1903.

AN ITEM ir the local column OF yes
terday's Gazette referred to a letter re-
ceiyed by Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow, president
of the Business Mems League, from Mr..
NJ V. Richards, of the industrial de-
partment of the Southern Railway. Mr..
Richards, it will be remembered, quoted
from some of his correspondents who
said the situation of Alexandria and the
facilities offered for manufacturing pur-
poses could not be gainsaid nor resisted,
but the idea that it was dead town was
a sufficient reason for prospective manu-
facturers to give the place the go-by.
Alexandria is alive and kicking vigOr-
ously, and each year Strength Is
being added to its sinews, and
of all the fimsy reasons which have
been urged against the city the above
is the most puerile. 1t is significant
that most all of those who pretend they
desire 20 establish plants i'll Alexandria
want inducements in the way OF build
ings or pecuniary assistance. Failing
to secure either they glibly talk about
the CITY being dead, while the fact re-
mains that our own people have built
prosperous factories and themerchants ex-
banded the wholesale business enormous
ly without asking assistance in any form.
That Alexandria is centrally located,
enjoys exceptional facilities in the way
of railroad and water transportation and
virtually adjoins the capital city Of the
nation, is allowed even by her critics,
but the latter, seemingly looking for
something with which to find fault, re-
peat an old libel with about as much
comprehension of what they are talking
about as a parrot crying "cracker. ."
Mr.. Richards in his letter says he has
endeayored to induce manufacturers to
locate in Alexandria, and his sincerity
is shown by the fact that he is often III
communication with representative bust
ness people of this city and on occasions
has accompanied capitalists here, and
should the corporation he represents
erect suitable depot in Alexandria
and expand its facilities here, where
so much of its business is transacted,
additional vitality would be impaired to
the city in which the Washington di-
vision of the road had its birth.

Card from Rev. Mr.. Jeffers.
Alexandria "a. Anil 2. 1QO3

Alexandria, Va, April 2, 1908.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
viii you permit me space in your columns
to reply to certain published statements rela-
tive to the marriage of Benjamin Franklin
and Catharine Pugh The facts are as fol-
lows: Tuesday evening, March q, 1903, at
about 5:i5 y. m, the above named persons,
with two men, called at the parsonage and
asked me to marry them. ] took into consid-
Grafton at once the evident youth of both
parties. One Of the men who had accompani-
ed them, and a man took to be thlrty-lye or
forty, represented himself as the uncle Of the
bride. The other man, about thirty, repre-
sented himselfa as the brother of the groom.
They declared that everything was all right
and that the parents of the bride and groom
were unable TO come over and that at the re-
quest Of the parents they had accompanied
the party to be married. ! asked for the
license. which they handed 10 me, and which
stated the age Of the groom as twenty-three
and that of the ] ride as twenty. As the
license was in due form and signed by the
Deputy Clerk Of Court, together with the as
sertions made by the men accompanying the
parties desiring to be married, J had no rea-
son to suppose that anything wss wrong.
The responsibility of determining the le-
gality Of marriage in this State is in the
hands Of the Clerk Of the Court. The clergy
man has nothing 10 do with il. If people
swear to a lie the clergyman cannot be held
blamable, as many persons underage are mar
ried with the consent Of the parents, and the
two men above named represented themselves
to me rs representing the consent of the pa
rents. These are the simple facts in the case,
and did, under the circumstances, what the
parents themselves would have done had they
been in my place. }. A. JEFFRRs.

KILLED HER RIVAL. "A special from
Bluefeld says news has just reached there
from Logan, the seat of Logan county, w.
Va, of a murder in that county near the
Kentucky line. The facts in substance are
that Maud Ballard, colOred, became
suspicious of Jennie Blake, a white
woman, who lived in the same
neighborhood, and believing the lat
ter had been too intimate with
a man of whom the former was enamored,
went in search for her supposed rival with
Winchester rifle. Reaching a house
where the object of her envy was stop
ping, the Ballard woman induced her to
come out, and then compelled her, at
the point of the rifle, to walk some dis
lance to the head of small ravine, where
she shot and killed her while the latter was
on her knees begging for mercy. The
murderess has been arrested and placed
in the county Jail.

Washington, Nov. 4.--The state de-

quest from the representatives OF the
revolutionary government at Panama
that the United States recognize the
new state of Panama; but pending off,

at Panama that new government has
been established and is de facto gov
eminent, the state department declined
to commit itself. However attention
was called to the fact that it is the in
variable policy of the United States to
deal with the de facto government in
any country. This statement is taken
as favorable to recognition should the
new Panama government have an ac-

and a Stable Burned.

Loss Over $4,000.

ing small, help was summoned from

| tended from the barn to the Parker

enveloped the Parker house but jumped
across to the dwelling house of Mrs.
jeremiah Locke, and from there to the
house and store of VIM. Evans.
While the Evans store was on fire

of the chimneys of the Evans store fell
and seriously If not fatally injured Guy
Chase, so years old, who was assisting

VIM. Evans. $4,000. There was small
