march was resumed with no sound
save the tread of men and horses and
the rumble Of artillery. Within a few
miles Of the city detachments OF mount
ed men, armed with telegraph cutting
and track tearing implements, dashed
to the left and to the right to prevent
the enemy from sending for troops or
running off the rolling stock. To an
other detachment which rode among
the advance columns was assigned the
duty of Selling the telegraph office.
Boom!
Hank, n gun! 1t comes from the east
ward, not half mile distant, where
the railroad runs parallel with the
pike. Artillery is driving back loco
motive. The iron monster shrieks like
some wild beast that has met its death
wound.
Boom!
More whistles all along the track far
down to the south, varying In distinct
ness from a near. loud cry to a distant
faint moan. This is fine hunting
stalking locomotives with cannon. Did
any South African sportsman ever
strike such game or hunt with such
guns?
Boom, boom, boom! Far and near
the shotted guns speak; far and near
the metal monsters cry out In terror.
Boom!
All are bagged, except one more dar-
ing than the rest, which runs the CANT
let of artillery and with n round shot
flying through its cab speeds out of
range.
Meanwhile sashes in the houses along
the road are being raised, shutters
flung open and heads put out to learn
the cause of the commotion. AS guns
boom, whistles shrek and cavalry clat-
ter along the road, followed by men
rapidly marching and artillery horses
briskly dragging the guns, many a
citizen who the night before had gone
to sleep not dreaming Of foe looks
upon the passing armed thrOng, lis
tens to the sound of the cannon and
the shrieks Of the engines and wonders

HONESTY OF BOSTONIANS.
Proved by Placing n GOOd-LOOkinS
Dress Suit Case on u Busy
Sidewalk.

1t looked like only an old dress suit
ase, but it was really a piece of ap-
(aratus for sociological experiment
o be entitled "The Municipal Equa-
ion of Honesty"
1t had been a dress suit case, and
had served long period of useful
hess, while an insidious disease
breyed on it's vitals until there were
DO vitals left. At this stage of de
trepitude it foated into the Globe
brit department.
Its brass bands and locks, it's hasps
hnd corners and it's smooth sides
showed no indications of its worth
lessness. Some of the boys in the
hrt department decided that it might
not last until April /, SO they played
out the April fool joke the othel
night.
They filled the dress suit case with
bricks, closed it carefully and set it
on the sidewalk by the curbstone
just in front of the Globe building
relates that paper. That is where ii
became a factor in the demonstration
of the honesty of Boston.
1t was shortly after five in the aft
ernoon when the dress suit case was
set out. The street was filed with a
crowd that hurried toward the sta
tions and absolutely nobody looked
at the dress suit case. 1t was not a
question would it be safe?'-it was

When in the course of traffic foul
people came abreast at that point the
outermost one had actually to dodge
or step over the corner of the case
But nobody cast an eye upon it tt
covet it. Yet it was good looking
suit case, especially in the dusk.
Six o'clock came and nobody ha6
stopped to give it second look
Even the newsboys had not touched
it. The tide of traffic ebbed and still
it stood in the busiest part of Wash
ington street, alone and unframed.
Half past six brought new set OF
newsboys, and at last somebody tool
little interest. One Of them lifted
it and looked around for the owner
A second joined him, and he, too
"hefted" the case. They mounted
guard, perhaps in the hope of re
ward when the owner should appear
More newsboys joined, and wher
there were seven of them an earnest
consultation was held. Be it sale
to their credit, not one of them sug
gested stealing or taking the case.
Sides were speedily taken, however
on the question whether they would
better mount guard over it there
take it into doorway where it coulo
not be so easily stolen, or turn it in
at station 2 in City Hall avenue.
The third proposition finally won

An ALEXANDRIA CHARACTER.

The suit OF Mrs Abbie Syphax against
her sons. as reported few days ago in
The Times. calls TO the memory of
older Alexandrians the fact that VIII
liam Syphax, a well-known free negro
of the old days. was the father Of a
large family now living in different
parts OF the United States
William Syphax resided in frame
dwelling in Fairfax Street, nearly ad-
joining the old Bank Of Alexandria, and
constantly upon the ground Of the Car
lyle House. over which the Braddock
House was afterward built The house
occupied by Syphax had at one time
been the office OF William Herbert. a
leading citizen OF Alexandria and a
descendant OF CARLYLE.
William Syphax was we'll versed in
the propheticaI portion OF the Scrip
lures. from which he deduced some
time before his death the information
that another food was at hand and that
the Potomac River would rise and
overwhelm Alexandria
This doctrine he frequently explained
at the street corners, and became one
of the characters Of the city. He was
quite Industrious and much respected.

Done Except for Statutory Cause.

The Commissioners have requested the
Corporation Counsel to submit an opin-
ion as to whether the Commissioners
have authority to revoke a steam engi-
neer's license, for other cause than in
toxication while on duty. The action was
taken upon the report of the Board ef
Examiners of Steam Engineers, reconi-
mending the license OF A. d. Mohler be-
revoked for six months. Mohler was
found guilty OF unfair treatment Of bis
employer, John T. Devine. manager of

marily his position or assistant enei-
neer OF the Shoreham. AS the chief en-
gineer had made a similar request, Mr.
Devine believed he was not being treat
ed fairly and refused to pay the men
until the end of the month. when their
money would have been due. Mohler. II

The facts were stated TO the Steam
Engineers Board, for its action, and tie
recommendation that Mothers license

quently made The law says. however.
that a license may be revoked in case Of
