Charges Against an officer,

Mayor Simpson will on Thursday
morning at 1870 o'clock investigate
charges which have been prepared
against Officer B. r. Young growing
out of the fire alarm last night. 1t is
alleged that Mr.. Young called up the
Hydraulion but failed to notify the
Columbia or Relief companies of the
fire. 1t is customary when an officer
turns in an alarm to notify the central
telephone station that fire exists in a
certain place, and the alarm is sent to
the engine houses from that centre.

Fined Five Dollars.

Officers Griffin and Nicholson at an
carly hour this morning arrested col
ored man named Thomas johnson whom
they charged with stealing coal from a
car on south Union street. Johnson, in
his defense, said he procured the coal
from car, but that it was after it had
discharged its cargo, and what he had in
a bag was merely the screenings which
he gathered in full view of the railroad
employees. None of the latter were
present, however, and the Mayor fined
the accused So upon his own admission
that he was a trespasser upon the prop
erty of the railroad company.

New Highway Bridge.

Colonel Allen, the engineer officer in
charge of the improvement of the Poto-
mac river, ''has invited proposals for the
construction of the highway bridge
across the Potomac at Washington, in
accordance with the plans of the engineer
board, approved BY the Secretary of War,
and will arrange for the prosecution OF
the work as rapidly as conditions will
permit. He has already established per-
manent points on the bridge line on both
banks of the river and will erect instru-
ment stations at those points. As has
been already stated the highway bridge
will parallel the new railroad bridge now
being built across the Potomac as a sub
sttute for the Long bridge. By direc-
ton of the Secretary of War the two new
bridges will be identical in design and
construction, although built under entire
ly different auspices.

Infractions of Oleomargarine Laws


The raid of government officials on
on oleomargarine dealers in this city has
again called attention to the alleged acts
of some people living in the rural dis
tricts, who, there is every reason to be-
lieve, buy this fictitious article, print
and color it and sell it in marketas fresh
country butter. Numbers of Alexan-
drians have been victims of this swindle
and consigned their purchases to garbage
buckets. The penalty for violating the
laws governing the sale Ofthis compound
is very severe, and should Inscriptions
people fail to take warning after the
experience of certain Alexandrians they
will have no one to blame but them
selves should they fined themselves in
the clutches of the law.
