II cannot be too strongly impressed
upon people that the time TO look for
buffalo moths, clothes moths and
other insect life Is In the spring, when
the eggs are about to hatch out.
April 10 the best time for this work.
When buffalo moths have once
made their appearance benzine Is the
best destructive agent to use against
them. Benzine for this purpose was
first introduced to the public by Pro-
lessor Lintner, New York State en-
tomologist. II the benzine Is pur-
chased at a depot OF coal oil supplies
or at a paint store, it may be bad by
the gallon at a low price. As the
bepzine must be used freely it will
hardly pay one to purchase IL at the
druggists by the ounce.
Pour the benzine freely around the
edges Of the carpets, where moths
always make their first appearance.
Remove the tacks first, and brush
away all the dust, burning it carefully.
Benzine is not only perfectly harm
less to all clothing, but is also an ex-
cellent cleaning fluid. 1t is not ipju-
rious to the finest goods, and the I'M
pleasant odor quickly evaporates
when the garments or carpets are
aired. Benzlne is usually applied
with an atomizer, and trunk with
y the clothing within 1t should be thor
oughly sprayed. 1t is impossible to
tell how many applications will be
necessary to eradicate buffalo moths
that have once made a habitat on the
premises. The buffalo beetle has so
strong a sense of location that, though
IL may have roamed for and wide IL
will return unerringly 20 the place
where IL was hatched out. Ordinary
clothes moths may be exterminateC
by beating the clothes in the open air
letting them hang for time ia the
sunlight, beating them again anC
packing them away in newspaper
with plenty OF gurn camphor -Er.

An Unfounded Rumor.

A rumor was circulated in this city
last night to the effect that officials OF
the War Department had condemned
the railroad bridge over the Potomac
river and that until the new iron struct-
ure shall have been completed transfers
of passengers, baggage and mail, would
be made by boats from this city. Some
we're elated and hoped the report would
be verified in order that the busy scenes
of Monday and Tuesday would be con-
tinued A few in their imaginations
said the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany would bring two modern ferry
boats from New York in order to meet
the requirements of the transfer service
All these phantoms fled with the rise
of the sun this morning. There Is no
likelihood of the government condemn
ing any act of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, which is made ap-
parent from the fact that piles have
been driven on the site of the former
draw and navigation of the river above
Long Bridge brought to a standstill.

Alleged Use of Cocaine.

The recent murders OF colored people
in this city, together with numerous
cutting and shooting ARRAYS among that
element have directed attention to the
suggestion that many members Of the
colored race use cocaine as well as
whisky and gin, which renders them
at times as irresponsible as the celestial
when the incessant use Of opium causes
him TO run amuck. Ii is said that a
considerable quantity of cocaine is sold
to colored people of this city, and if this
is a fact steps should be taken at once
by the authorities to interdict the
traffic. The facts in connection with
the murder on Monday night show that
the negro who used the pistol was APP
parently sober. He at first placed the
weapon close to the head of colored
individual who had not in any way
offended him, and subsequently trained
it on another unsuspecting colored maj
and shot him through the heart. Ih'
murderer then, with the utmost cool
ness, walked down stairs to the bar am
drank beer almost over the body OF NJ
victim, which lay on the floor of tn
saloon, and then walked away.

Robert Erickson, James c. Barron and Agnes

noisy and il is hoped the officers Of the house
will promptly eject them. Manager Harper
announces for next week the old favorites

The Late Murder.

The police have been searching since
Monday night for Enos Grayson, the
negro who shot and killed Charles
Shirley. also colored, in the saloon on
the northwest corner of Cameron and
Fayette streets. A report was circulated
last night to the effect that the murderer
had been arrested in Richmond. This
was untrue. There is every reason to
believe that ne is hiding some where in
this neighborhood. In fact his move
ments in a measure have been traced,
and it is believed he will soon be IN
custody. A description of Grayson has
been sent out by the authorities OF this
city. The remains of Shirley were IN
tered this afternoon.

Traffic Resumed.

AS was stated in the Gazette, temper
arv repairs on the Long Bridge were
completed shortly before noon yesterday,
and through railroad traffic from Wash
inoton to lna south resumed. The frst
train for southern points passed over the
bridge at 1:07 a. m. on track laid on
a heavy iron railroad girder resting on
piles. Water navigation above the
bridge is at standstill and will remain
so until new draw can be constructed,
which cannot be done or some time.
Shortly after midnight yesterday two
huge steel girdles taken from the abandon
ed railroad bridge at Wilmington, Del,
which we're telegraphed for, arrived at
Washington, and were rushed to the
scene Of the wreck on the Long Bridge.
They were put in position early yester-
day morning on a double row OF piles,
were lacked up and strengthened, and in
an almost incredibly short time after the
occurrence of the disaster, traffic to the
South was reopened after an insignifl-
cant delay, considering the serious nature
of the accident. Traffic on the Wash
inrton. Alexandria and Mount Vernon
Electric Railway was resumed at l o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. In the George
town channel above the Long Bridge
there are only few schooners engaged
in the coal, ice, and lumber trade.
These cannot get out of the river until
a draw-bridge is put in operation, which
may not be done for some time. Sand
scows barges, and smaller craft will be
able to pass under the bridge at low
water and several got out in this manner
yesterday No attempt to clear the river
Of the wreckage has been made. Work
probably will begin on this today. Two
cars, tender and baggage car fell in
to the river at the time of the accident
directly below the draw. These sank and
became bound in the mud Of the river
bottom. Two tugboats pulled the wreck
age short distance up stream yesterday
morning, dragging them along the river
bed. to make room for the driving OF
the principal piles for the support of the
temporary bridge girders. 1t is believed
that the body of Eckert, the draw watch
man, will be found with the wreckage
when the latter is raised. The work of
repair was done without the written con-
sent of the War Department, but Gen.
Gillespie, chiefEof engineers, will not in
terfere. The War Department realizes
that the obstruction of the river channel
is unavoidable and in the interest OF the
general public. 1t is believed by the
War Department that new draw is
necessary. Work on the construction
of this will be pushed as vigorously as
possible, but it is not known how soon 1t
can be completed.

Pocketbook Pound.

Mr.. A. Acres living at Ala Queen
street found a book at the foot of King
street early yesterday morning, contain
ing several papers of some value and a
number of railway passes issued in favor
of w. II. Gregor the special agent OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad with
headquarters in Washington. THE
pocketbook will be sent to him. A peck
etbook containing checks, street car tick
cts, &C., it will be remembered, was
found in one of the mail boxes in this
city Monday evening. 1t is believed
hat pickpockets have been operating
here during the past few days. After ex-
tracing the money from the pOcketbooks
the latter have been discarded.
