ALEXANDRIA HARBOR
AND ITS TWO MASTERS
Police Chief and Washington Official Both Have
Jurisdiction.

Alexandria is known to Washington
fans mostly by its river front. She ran
away from her benefcent Uncle Sam
many years ago and took refuge with
her old mother. Virginia. and has since
been deprived of the great Improvement
made by her uncle around his residence
In Washington. Few realize that the
harbor of Alexandria is a portion of
Washington, although both Virginia and
the District under the compact of 1884
between Maryland and Virginia have
concurrent and equal jurisdiction there
In.
Captain Webster, of the Alexandria
police force, and Commodore Sutton, of
the Washington police force, have equal
rights to make arrests on the river In
front of Alexandria. but practically Mr..
Sutton does all the police business. as
he has a boat. while Captain Webster
and his cohorts would have to swim II
they undertook to exercise much iuris-
diction over the Potomac.
Forming the River Front
Originally the river front of Alexan-
dria was a cove, with Point West. now
Fishtown, as it's northern boundary. and
Point Lumley, now the foot of Duke
Street, as it's southern end. Out into
this cove the land owners commenced 20
fill up and bank, and by 1855 the water
had been replaced by made land and the
business which had heretofore been done
at Point West, now Fishtown, began 10
be equally distributed along the river
front southwark. and piers were run 10
the channel of the river at various
points.
The wharves. about 1910. were named
after their owners and called Keith's.

gerald. Ramsay. Hartshorn, Conway.
Cover. and Rumney. To them came a
great trade of vessels laden with for
eign goods and carrying away loads of
flour, tobacco. ginseng. and grains of
various kinds. The later wharf mer-
chants were Fowle, Dangerield, Lam
bert & Mckenzie, Bacon, McVeigh & Co..

and many others. Shipyards were soon
put north and south OF the river front
Morrill's shipyard and Hunters ship
yard at the south end built many large
ships. while Eastlack. at the north end,
built smaller vessels and did very much
repairing OF river craft.
Midshipman Captured by Cavalry.
The Alexandria river front is noted
in historic annals as being the only
place at which cavalry captured naval

officers from off their own boats In Au-
gust. 1914, while the British vessels lay
off Alexandria, from which the troops had
been taken, by order of the Secretary of
War, two cavalry officers Of the Ameri-
can militia, then posted in Fairfax coun-
", dashed down King Street. and com
Ing to the river front, one of them rode
his horse TO the edge of the wharf at
which a British midshipman, in his
boat, was supervising the removal OF
some spoils, and grasping him by his
collar, drew him across the horse, and
both cavalrymen started up King Street.
The stock collar of the midshipman
broke and he fell alongside the horse.
By this time number Of marines, who
had been chasing the horses up street,
came on them and rescued the midship-
man. The officers made their escape out
Of town, glad to avoid capture.
Decimated by Yellow Fever.
All the river front for two squares in
land was in 1903 decimated by the yell
low fever. The made ground, which was
insufficiently drained, gave rise to
pestiferous exhalations, and a cargo of
rotten hides having been landed and
stored near the foot of Duke Street. The
plague spread until a considerable por-
ton Of the river front was cut off from
the rest Of town by fires of tar kept con
tinually burning, and even the dead
were carried on the edge of Hunting
Creek across Il marsh to a new burial
ground and there buried Two hundred
and nfnety-eight persons died within n
small area in three months, and the only
monument to them is little street laid
out on the city maps on the extreme
south edge OF the town, called Penny
Hill Street. Even the homes of the vic
Tins, who were always buried in lime.

roads and otherwise in the neighborhood
of the old cemetery have failed to dis
close a single vestige of 29S people that
once constituted the majority of the in
