Strike in a Signal Tower.

A strike in the signal tower at the
southern end of Long Bridge caused a
tie-up on the electric railway last even
ing. Six trains were blocked and travel
was delayed about an hour. w. A. Berry,
a telegraph operator in the employ of
the electric road, was in the tower yes
terday afternoon. The company had
asked him to work overtime, to which
he demurred, and when he received Il
peremptory order to remain on duty, he
refused to work longer 1t was near 8
O'Clock when he quit, the hour at which
he is relieved by II. L. Simcox, a Penn
sylyania operator. When SimcOx ar
rived and was told of the situation he,
too. refused to handle electric road
trains, though willing to pilot steam cars
through his block. Messages from
headquarters by both lines, both plead
ing and threatening, poured in upon the
unwilling operators, but the men held
out for nearly an hour, while the trains
piled up at both ends of the bridge.
Finally, however, Simcox weakened,
the signal to go ahead was given, and
the sympathy strike was ended, though
Berry, the original troublemaker, main
tanned a bold and defiant front.

Body Unidentified.

The body of the unknown young man
who was found lying between the tracks
of the Southern and Washington South
ern Railways at an early hour yesterday
morning on the outskirts of this city
has not been identified. As has been
stated. the man was about twenty-five
years of age, and was fairly well-dressed.
He was of muscular build, medium
height, and was clean-shaven. His
ewes and hair were brown, and ne wore
a black coat and vest, checked trousers,
a black silk shirt, and patent leather
shoes The sum of $l65 was found in
his pockets. The remains will be held
at the undertaking establishment OF
Domaine & Son as long as possible.
The manner of his death is mystery,
the supposition being that he was killed
while attempting to board a moving
train. The police have descriptions of
the body and they are cndeavoring to
have it identified. The description of
missing man was received from Rich
mond, but it did not agree with that
given above.

ASSASSINATION FoRRToLD. - Nj.
Niiatoytch, the Servian Minister in Lon
don, recalls aprediction made by clair
yoyant to the effect that the Servian
monarch would be assassinated. This
prediction was made about month ago
at reception at MOwbray House, where
w. r. Stead had gathered together two
or three mediums. The Ministers story
was confirmed by Mr.. Stead, who said to
reporter: ain the course of seance
one of the mediums was handed jewel
which at one time belonged to King
Alexander and letter which had been
written by the King. She was not aware
to whom they belonged or where they
came from. Holding them in her hands
for time, she said These belong TO
royalty. She then became much excited.
Il see, she cried, the interior of pal
ace. The King is being killed. The
Queen is beside him. She has fallen on
her knees. l can't see whether the King
has been killed, but the King is dead.
Terrible Terriblep " NJ. MJatovitch
in his account declared that the clairyoy-
ant explained in detail how the tragedy
would happen. A knife was to be used
and there were many circumstances about
the affair which would be Of a peculiarly
revolving nature. 81 was so much i'm
pressed with the story" he said, 'that
wrote privately to King Alexander,
warning him to take every care and pre-
caution"

Gaath of John S. Fowler.

The many friends and acquaintance
OF Mr.. John S. Fowler, clerk OF the
United States Court in this city and u.
S. Commissioner for this district, were
shocked TO hear of his death which oc-
cured last night at the Emergency
Hospital in Washington. Mr.. Fowler
was returning home from trip to Balti-
more and was in the Office Of l.. A.
Bailey, attorney at law, in Washington,
yesterday evening, when he became Ill
and soon lapsed into unconsciousness.
His condition became so grave that he
was removed to the Emergency Hospital
where everything possible was done TO-
ward resuscitating him. He, however,
grew worse and died about eleven o'clock
last night without recovering consciou s.
ness. His death is said to have resulted
from acute Brights disease. Mr.. Fowl
er was born in Kingston, N. T., ~
wears ago. He came to Alexandria
during the civil war and soon after
coming here was connected with bakery
on the north side of King street near
Washington. He at one time operated
a tract of land southwest of this city in
Fairfax county, and was in the lumber
business in King George and Westmore-
land counties. At the close of the war
he was business manager of the Virginia
State Journal, published by B. J, ellis
and the late Charles Whittlesey in the
building now occupied by the Relief
Hook and Ladder Company. A few
years later the journal was renewed to
Richmond and the late Judge R. w.
Hughes became its editor. Mr.. Fowler
remained in Alexandria and was sub
sequently appointed clerk of the United
States Court and U. S. Commissioner.
He was a model citizen; quiet, unassum-
ing and courteous, he naturally enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of all who
knew him. He was member of Trinity
NJ. f. Church and for long time had
been one of the stewards. He leaves a
widow and two Children son and a
daughter.

A Succession.

1t has been suggested, now that
the WashingtoD-Southern Railway is
erecting additional gates at crossings in
the western section of the city, that the
Southern or Baltimore and Ohio should
construct one at the intersection of Union
and Wolfe streets, as many wagons and
trucks are employed in that locality
since the establishment of the B. q 0.
depot The cars are backed down
Wilkes street through the tunnelto Union
street. The curve is sharp and while
cars are passing Wolfes street the locOmo-
tive is often in the tunnel and in an
emergency it would be impossible to
signal the engineer to stop, as was the
case last Friday night when six cars
were run into the transfer dock while
the engine was in the tunnel enveloped
in smoke.

The Fire Department.

Every Alexandrian feels a natural
pride, certainly an interest, in its FIRE
Department, which in the opinion OF
quite a number owes much Of its EN-
cheney to its semi-volunteer character.
To 90 hack two decades, for the year
ended MAY 81 1884, the expenses OF the
department amounted to 80 'o4' Inc
growth of the fire fighting force OF the
citv Is evidenced by the fact that at
The close of business May 81 last,
s6 S37 was the expense of the fire
department for the year. In
twenty years the cost has been 1922,
255. and to this the cost of the Relief
truck, the rebuilding of the Columbia
and the reserve engine, reel purchase,
&c. Sc, S45 should be added, making
a total of 1929, 100, an average yearly
cost of So, 455. Prior to June l, 1886,
the cost of maintaining the Hook and
Ladder Company amounted to but
few dollars each year. In June, 1886,
Council purchased a truck for 81, 100
and pair of horses for which they paid
$500. Since that date it has cost to pay
for expenses of this company Sl7, 24O,
or about 81, 005 each year. For the
ten years ended May 81, 1893, the
Hydranlion Engine Company was charg-
ed with S29,3ll; during the same
period the Columbia $29, 1923, practically
the same amount, which is remarkable,
and shows that the wear and tear of a
machine is about equal under exactly
similar conditions. In May, 1898, the
city purchased of S. F. Haywood d Co.
the two hose wagons now in use for
which it paid 1890 each. The purchase
Of horses and employment of drivers fol-
lowed Immediately, which has of course
added to the expenses of each company.
The expenses during these last ten years,
ending May 81, last, was Hydraulion,
500, 489; Columbia, S2S, 1892, slight
slight that in year or so
it NAV be, indeed it is more than pos
sible, it will be shown that it cost
Just as much to operate one engine as
the other. Two thousand nine hundred
and forty-eight dollars is the average for
the Hydraulion and 81, SS9 for the CO.
a difference Of $50. lnas-
much as those who control the expenses
Of one company have no knowledge of
what are the expenditures of the other, it
is remarkable that the cost is almost

Heavy Rain.

There was a copious rain in this city
late yesterday evening which was fol-
lowed by a drizzle which continued
nearly all night.~~In parts of Fairfax
county near this city there was heavy
downpour. Roads were flooded and the
streams swollen into torrents. A heavy
black cloud rose in Maryland opposite
this city and and spread in both direc-
tons as far as the eye could reach. II
is thought the rainfall was very heavy
in that section and the sudden fall in
the temperature is supposed to have
been caused by hail in the cloud.

Wreck at Manassas.

At an early hour this morninga freight
train parted at Manassas and the rear
end ran onto the main track and collided
with another train. There was a heavy
crash and several cars were demolished.
Fortunately no one was hurt. The run
ming of trains was considerably delayed
by the accident, although a wrecking
train which left this city went to work
as scon as possible clearing the track.
