Secured a Site.

The Emerson Steam Pump Company,
recently chartered by the Corporation
Court of this city, has secured three
squares of ground at Colross, including
the mansion, from Mr. VIM. A. Smoot
upon which to locate their plant. The
negotiations were conducted by Mr..
Samuel III. Lunt, real estate broker.
The company will as soon as possible
begin the erection of buildings suitable
for their purpose. This announcement
will be read with pleasure, as all rejoice
in the healthy growth of Alexandria as
a manufacturing centre, and the addi-
tional impetus the Emerson Company
will give the city is we'll understood.
The pumps will be manufactured in this
city anda large force of skilled mechanics
will be employed in the works. The
Emerson steam pumps are gradually
achieving an international reputation,
as orders for them from foreign countries
are being received occasionally. Mr..
Lunt has been working assiduously for
months in endeavoriDg to find suitable
accommodations for this company, and
has, with the officers, visited number of
places in the city. The Colross property
seemed from the first best adapted for
the use of the company, and Mr.. VIM.
A. Smoot, public-spirited as he is,
realizing the Importance of locating the
company here, has not held his property
for fancy prices, but has accepted con-
servative propositions, which has result
ed in bringing large manufacturing
plant to Alexandria.

Duckers in Peril.

Four duckers of this city --Messrs.
Davis, Greenwood, Hufty and Petit
who were in skiffs in Hunting creek
yesterday morning, were blown out into
the channel of the river by the strong
northwest wind prevailing at the time,
and their floats becoming jammed in ice
foes it became evident that their frail
boats would soon be crushed and the
occupants thrown into the water to
drown. While in this precarious situa-
ton the steamer Estelle Randall, on
her way down, went to their rescue.
The men were lifted aboard the steamer
and their skiffs pulled on deck after
them. The rescued parties and their
outfits were landed on Fort Foote wharf.

AN ANSWER TO WISE.

In the course of an address on "Who
Are the Imperialists?'' before the liter
ary section of Vassar Institute, at Plough
keepsie, n. Y, Tuesday night, Captain
J. S. Wise; of Virginia, pictured the
democrats of the south as intense i'm
perialists in their own localities. while
they, at the same time, assail the expan-
sion policy of the republic.
He contented that the cry of imperial
ism comes with bad grace from people who
themselves trampe under foot the laws
they should uphold, and have subverted
republican institutions in their own
neighborhoods. He said the election
machinery had been tempered with in
the south to secure election results.
After Wise finished, Richard E. Con-
nell, a reporter on the Poughkeepsie
News Press, arose and ridiculed his ar
guments, eloquently defending the south
in this vein:
81 have been proud of the south as
section of my country. | know it had
given us great Presidents. under whose
administration the republic took life and
strength. ! know that the south had
rebelled, and that it had accepted defeat
as no other people on the earth ever did,
| know that it had come back into the
union out of the desolation of destruction,
and in less than a generation had given
a Joe Wheeler and the first blood of the
new war for human freedom under the
banner of the union. | did not suspect
this people of imperialism until to night,
and can hardly suspect them now.
II thought the imperialists were The
ones who invaded the south with bayo-
nets went behind election returns over
turned the will OF the people, and COM
mitted the most goddess political crimes
in history-the theft of the presidency
of the United States. ! had imagined
that the imperialists we're those who took
up the war for human rights and pledged
a nations faith to the principle that ac-
QUESTION Of territory would be criminal
aggression and then proceeded 70 turn 1t
into a war of conquest and subjugation.

imperialists had been doing in all the
ages"

A Comedy of Errors.

Between two and three O'Clock this
morning while a young man named
Leonard Wheatley, night messenger at
the Southern Railway depot, was pass
ing up Patrick street he saw Officers
Lyles, Mayhem and Garvey under the
shed in front of Mr. VIM. Cooks, store
on the northeast corner of Cameron and
Patrick streets, and concluded they were
suspicious characters who were preparing
to break into the store Heproceeded to
the freight Office of the Washington
Southern Railway, a square away, and
impaired his convictions to Mr.. Brooke
Arnold, the night clerk. The latter
telephoned to Mr.. l.. O. Hardin, special
officer at the Fayette street depot, and
he started in the direction of Mr.. Cooks
store. Young Wheatley then emerged
from the freight Office and walked down
the square to see the outcome. In the
meantime the policemen, seeing the mes
srnger in the street again, concluded he
was accommodating for the purpose OF
committing burglary, and they separa-
ted, going toward different points of the
compass for the purpose of heading off
and capturing the supposed house
breaker. officer Garvey ran down an
alley westward and was soon close on
Young Wheafley's heels. The latter
started to run when the officer called to
him to halt. The young man falling to
obey the order, Mr.. Garyey fired three
shots from his revolver over his head
which brought him to standstill.
Messrs. Hardin and Arnold came up in
the meantime, together with Officers
Lyles and MAYHEM, when explanations
followed. The incident caused consider
able excitement in the neighborhoOd.

Who Is Responsible.

Abort fifteen years ago the United
States government graded and macadamed
a roadway from Alfred street to the
National Cemetery and put down brick
sidewalk with substantial CURLING on
the north side of the street, thereby al
ford;ng great convenience to persons
who desire to visit the cities of the dead.
Previous to that time the route to the
cemeteries in bad weather was through
mud and mire. After the completion
of the work the government announced
lis intention of keeping it clean and IN
repair from Payne street west and sug-
gested that, inasmuch as the work had
cost the city nothing, it would assume
jurisdiction over the eastern portion 20
Alfred street. The city authorities,
however, refused to act on the suggestion.
some of them assuming that the govern
ment should keep the entire work IN
repair, and as result many places III
those squares have needed repairs for a
long time. About year ago the Alex
andria Water Company opened the
roadway IN the square bounded by
Henry and Fayette streets for the pur-
pose of LAYING pipes to the water tower
of the Southern Railway. They filled
the trench with broken stone and formed
"A hillock which has remained there ever
since. 1t is unsightly end in reality
ruins part of the roadway. The city
authorities seem TO have washed their
hands Of the responsibility OF compelling
the water company to place the square
in the condition they found it AMI the
War Department in Washington WI
certainly make no movement in the
matter, Hence there is probability of
the roadway remaining as it is.
