tan conformes con aprObar ell
aumento de sesenta mil dollars
que hacen falta para cubrir el
deficit de instruction P1blica.
Hasta ahora han contestado
mas delegados de la minoria fe-

blicana. Els claro. Lo minoria
no tiene que confesar NADIA en-
este case y la mayoria 81.
La mayoria Sc We obligada a
reconocer sus escasas aptitudes
para legislar y mucho tiene que
meditar antes de dar la respues-
ia que desea Mr.. Hartzetll.
Unicamente de este modo Sc
comprende que haya llegado a
poder del Gobernador Civil pri-
mel amente la aceptacion de los
federales, que la que han de dar
los republicauos. reconociendo
que hicieron NAL.
Els muy duro ESQ de reconocer
publicamente tropiezos y torpe-'
zas, pero NADIA mas justo que
clio. Peor seria que aferrados
al error persistieran los delega-
dos en- sostener su acuerdo to-
mado en- las Camaras, con nota-
Bile perjuicio de la instruction
Publica.
ESQ serja 10 triste. Porque 81
nadie alz6 la voz de la protesta
en- contra de la reduction del
presupuesto de instruction, no
son tan culpables los delegados
que al notar la defciencia de su
labor, sin exagerado amor pro-
pio. sin ninguna razon de ser,
porque ell p1blico impuesto de
todo cuanto pasa no deja de sa-
Der quien tiene la culpa de las,
cosas y quien peca, aunque no
10 confese.
Por ell prurito NAL entendido|
de aparentar una satisfaction
de sus actos, que estan muy le-!
jos de sentir los representatives,
no eS justo que vayan a quedar
sin escuela diez mil niflos.
Por muy honorables que sean
los delegados no tienen faculua-
des para condenar a la ignoran-
cia a millares de criaturas. Pues-
to que Sc han equivocado de-
jando pasar por la Camara la
fatal economic Y la innecesaria
reforma, esperabamos, y sin
duda ell Gobernador 10 esperaba
tambien que la respuesta a la
consulta hecha a los represen-
tantes llegara N seguida con
la aprobacion sOlicitada.
ln1til esperar. Tai vez no

flea para TN pueblo, una econo-

hecha Due representa- la supre-
sion de numerOsaS eScuelas; que

Killed bv a. Train.

The body of Richard l.. Patton,
twenty-five years old, native OF Fred
ericksburg, but of late resident OF
Washington, was found on the Wash
ington-Southern Railway tracks near ST.
Assph Junction at an early hour Satur-
day morning Patton had evidently
been run over by a train and his head
completely severed from the body. The
Investigations developed the fact that
Patton had been killed by a freight
train bound south which passed where
his body was found about o clock Sat
urday morning. The body was brought
to this city and turned over to Mr.. b.
Wheatley, undertaken. 1t is supposed

Electrical Storms.

A heavy storm gathered north and
northwest of this city Friday evening,
and there were for a time evidences oil
anproaching rain. The cloud, however
parted and the heaviest portion passed
over Washington and extended down
in MARYLAND. The lightning was lnces-
SAINT east and south of Alexandria, and
at times the crashes of thunder were
startling. There was, however, bare
suspicion OF rain here, although the
downpour was heavy in Maryland.
There was refreshing breeze in the
meantime which was greatly enjoyed by
sweltering humanity. On Saturday at
ternoon heavy black cloud passed over
the city. There was a torrential rain
with much thunder and lightning. The
electric railway bridge across Hunting
creek was struck by bolt and set on
fire. The rain, however, subdued the
flames, but the damage to the wires IN
terfered with traffic for several hours. A
tree on OronOco street, between st.
Asaph and Pitt, was also struck by
lightning. There was another heavy
rain with an accompanying electric dis
nlay about eleven o'clock last night, anC
there were a number of subsequen

Fire at W. & o. Depot.

About eight o'clock Saturday morn
ing a fire of mysterious origin started in
the brick building on the northwest
corner of Lee and Princess streets, used
by the w. & O. division Of the South
ern Railway as a freight house. The
fire was confined to the contents
within the building. and the smoke be-
came dense, The fire department was
soon at work and in a short time sub
dued the flames. A report was circu-
lated Wide the fire was in progress to
the effect that several kegs of power
were in the place which caused many to
view the scene from afar. A car stand
ing near the building had the word
explosives" placed upon it. This
gave origin to the report. The car was
pulled to a place of safety The loss
will be extensive, as most OF the freight
was seriously damaged. While passing
the intersection of King and Royal
streets the horse attached to the Hydrau'
liam hose wagon fell and at the sam'
time coIlided with another wagon
The horse was not materially injuIe nor
were the vehicles.

The Fourth of July.

The early portion of last Saturday was
TO the great majority of Alexandrlans an
ideal Fourth of July, devoid in a mark
ed degree Of the noise and din which Tor
many wears characterized the early hours
of INDEPENDENCE Day. The previous
dav and night had been intensely hot
and it was possible for people to ENJOY
exhausted natures sweet restorer during
the early morning hours without being
startled by toy cannon under their win
dows or the discharge of shot guns.
Even the late Lewis Mckenzie mar
tial music WAS not in evidence, ana
there was a serenity which was heartily
enioyed. A fitting paragraph in the OLD
English Reader of our grandfathers' day
il 10 the effect that "true happiness Is
of quiet nature, an enemy of pomp and
noise During the morning hours
MANY private excursion parties lett In
boats and vehicles Tor rural retreats, and
later numbers boarded the excursion
steamers which made stops here. Others
went to Washington to witness the pa
rade in that city, while the electric trains
carried crowds down the road, who dis
embarked at the Dyke and other places
inf that locality. The temperature, as Is
generally the case on the Fourth OF July,
was tnd high for comfort and numbers
DreCcrrcd to remain at home where they
enioyed the cheer of the day and made
themselves as comfortable as possible.
The heavy rain in the afternoon was
very refreshing and cooled the atmos,
phcre considerably. As the day waned
The usual fusilade of explosives began
and until nearly midnight nerve-shat'
tering discharges from all sorts OF tortur'
ing contrivances were heard, notwlth'
standing the orders of the Mayor. The
police paid no attention to the intrac
tions Of the law, the neighbOrhoOd of the
station house having been selected FOL
the discharge of the heaviest pieces o
holiday ordnance.
