IL REPORTS from the lower Potomac
are true the oyster navies of both Viz
GINA and Maryland are reprehensively
derelict in their duties and the officers
should be brought to task. These re-
ports are to the,effect that large Numbers
of seed oysters are being taken from the
lower Potomac beds by dredgers, who
sell them to masters of northern vessels,
by whom they are taken to points on
the New Jersey coast and planted. A
short time ago tits reported FIVE large two
masted schooners laden with seed oysters
left the Potomac for New Jersey. This
represents only small portion OF
the total number of seed oysters that
have been taken away this fall. The
catching of seed oysters is contrary to
law both in Maryland and Virginia and
is punishable by both fine and imprison-
ment. Both States own vessels and
employ men to protect the oyster beds
and if the officers fail in their duties
they should be summarily removed and
Others, more efficient, putin their places.

Wreck and Explosion.

Olean. n. Y, March ia bad
freight wreck occurred this morning in
the yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in east Oleon, about a quarter of mile
east of the bridge over the Olean creek,
in which the lives of hundreds of people
we're in peril. At $3.50 o'clock switch
engine was backed over a switch with
several cars, among them being a car of
powder. An incoming freight collided
with the switch engine in a dense fog.
The collision caused the car of powder
to explode sending one car door 300 feet
away against house, and pieces of pow
der cans hundreds of feet. In the in
coming train were three cars of dyna-
mite which fortunately did not go of,
although several cars next were demol-
ished. The engineer and fireman of the
switch engine, jumped just in time to
avoid the crash, driving the cab over in
to the boiler. The fireman Of the other
train, also jumped, but the engineer
stuck to his post. His engine was some
what injured. Altogether there were
seven cars demolished. There are II
houses on Railroad avenue, directly OPP
posite the scene of the explosion, and
on the other side, within few hundred
feet, are many more houses. Had the
dynamite gone off, hundreds would have
been killed. As it is no one was in
jured.

University of Virginia Alumni.
TO the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Richmond, Va, March 9, 1903.
Governor Montague last Saturday an
proved an act to incorporate the General
Alumni Association of the University of
Virginia with authority to issue certif-
Gates of membership to local associations
and to individuals composing said Gen
eral Alumni Association. The act is in
eleven sections, and was approved on
the 18th anniversary of the opening
of the University of Virginia to
students, which occurred March 7,
1925. The act was signed by Governor
Montague with gold pen furnished by
Delegate Duke, of Albemarle, and West,
of Louisa. This pen was sent to Judge
Sener, the president, and the first presi-
dent of the General Alumni Association,
with the request that it be turned over
to the association to be preserved in its.
archives.
The first alumni society of the Univer-
sity of Virginia was formed in 1888,
and the first orator to appear before it
was Hon. R. NJ. T. Hunter. From
1888 to 1873 the organization existed as
purely voluntary association. In 1875
charter was obtained from the legi,,la-
ture for the Society of the Aluy mi of
the University of Virginia." and the
late B. johnson Barbour, of Orange. was
named in the act of Februs nv 6. 1873.
as its first president, and Senator John
W. Daniel as the first y'.ce-president.
The old society Of the alumni being
based purely on tie idea of individual
membership did not prove a success, and
the society o. alumni, at its meeting in
1899, 1920, 1901 and 1902 took steps
to convert it into General Alumni AS
soc,ation to be made up of individual
members and local alumni associations,
and this was finally consummated June II,
1908, by the adoption of constitution
and election of the following officers:
James B. Sener, of Washington, ID. c.,
president; George w. Morris, of Char
lottesville, first vice-president; Gordon
Wilson, of Baltimore, second vice-presi-
dent;J. S. Patton, of Charlottesville, Sec
rotary; Prof. r. G. Minor, of the Univer-
sity, treasurer, and X. L. w. Duke, jr.
and l.. I. Hanckel, of Charlottesville;
A. c. Gordon and Edward Echols, Of
Staunton; J. p. Harrison, of Danville,
and r. B. Tunstall, of Norfolk, as an
executive committee.
The General Alumni Association has
now forty-one local associations compos-
ing it. OF these nineteen are in Vir-
ginia and twenty-five outside of the State.
The twenty-five local associations outside
of Virginia are located in the States of
Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee,
California, Kentucky, Maryland, New
York, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Missis-
sippi and in Washington, d. G

Edna Weller Mcclellan, told of an al
legged settlement of s35 a week on her
daughter. Mrs. Mcclellan stated that
she had called on the millionaire in
May, 1900, and asked him to marry her
daughter. Mr. Rouss, she said, re-
piled
~ can't marry your daughter. I'm
an old man. | acknowledge promised
to marry her, but have grown-up
children, and if | attempted it they
would make trouble for me.
Mrs. Mcclellan said she went to see
her lawyer after Mr.. Rouss had declined
to marry her daughter. She also said
that Mr.. Rouss called on her daughter
and herself at their home, and one day
took them driving i'm Central Park, on
which occasion he suggested that the mat
ter be fixed up.
The witness further testified that Mr..
Rouss saw them number of times after
this, and finally they entered into and
signed a contract providing for the pay
ment of s35 a week for the rest of Miss
McClellan's life.
The agreement was witnessed by Mrs.
Mcclellan and was signed by Mr.. Rouss
at his Broadway store after it had been
read to him by his stenographer, Miss
Blanche Vollmer, and Mr.. Rouss's son,
Peter W. Rouss.
Cross-examination drew out that the
first time her daughter ever saw MN
Rouss was in October, 1899, when 81 o
called at his store as book canyasserj
Mrs. Mcclellan said that she accompa=
MED her daughter on several visits to the
store and to Mr.. Rouss's home, on Fifth
avenue, at his invitation.
Miss Vollmer, the stenographer, was
called, but was only permitted to testify
that she had seen Miss Mcclellan several
times in the Office of her employer.
