the launch has been in service at New

Foreign Vessels.

As was stated in the Gazette, the Nor
wegian barkentine Elise arrived at this
port Yesterday. She comes from Pay
sandu, a port in Uruguay, and has a
cargo of bones to be made into fertilizer
She is consigned to the Bryant Fertilizer
Company.
About three weeks ago the Spanish
schooner Antonio d. Ali sailed from
Cadiz. in Spain laden with salt for Charles
King & Son. The salt is to be used by
the fishermen in packing fish on the
Potomac during the spring.
The Elise is the second vessel which
has arrived here during the past two or
three years direct from foreign port to
the BRYANT Fertilizer Company, and 1t
is hoped the vessel consigned to the
Messrs. King may soon be followed by
others for Alexandria.
There was time when the arrival OF
these vessels here would have excited no
interest from the fact that such things
were of everyday occurrence, but 1t has
been long time since two vessels COM
ing from different parts of the world
have been bound for Alexandria.
The appearance of delegation from
this city before the House committee on
rivers and harbors yesterday was move
it in the right direction, as there is every
reason to believe that sooner or later
Alexandria will be a greater shipping
mort than ever before. There are many
logical reasons for this impression. The
project advocated yesterday was the max
ing Of channel 400 feet wide and 2t
feet deep all the way from Alexandra
to the bav, distance of something more
than 100 miles. The channel now Is
200 feet wide and "a feet deep the entire
distance. For greater part OF the dis
lance the channel is Of the full deptl
and width desired, so that it is estimated
\ great deal of work would not be re-
ouired to give the wider and deepe
channel. The Washington men proposed
that the full width and depth OF channe
he extended TO Washington, and als'
urged the improvement of the Anacostli
river. Mr.. Harlow told the commute
that all the railroads running out 0
Washington to the south had bought u
land in the neighborbood of Alexandra
and proposed making in that city thei
eastern terminals. Large shops were t
be erected. he said, and Alexandra
would become one Of the most importan
shipping points in the east. The com
mittee promised to give the subject con
sjderation, but it is not expected any
thing will be done at this session OF Cor
gress.

Useful Invention.

George w. Pettey, nephew OF FIRE
Chief Pettey, of this city, has invented a
signal for fire engine houses which will
do away with the necessity of street cars
stopping at the crossing of streets IN
which fire engine house is located. The
signal is operated by an electric trip at
tached to the stall doors in the engine
house. The opening of the doors COM
pletes an electric circuit, which in turn
starts the machinery of the signal. The
semaphore-that is, the cross arm OF the
signal--drops down and warns the motor
men of cars and the drivers of vehicles
that an engine is coming out of the
house. The invention can be regulated
so that the semaphore will remain down
any number of minutes, or as long as 1t
would take the engine to get across the
track at which the signal was placed.
The semaphore returns into its place
automatically. An electric bulb is IN
serted in the semaphore which at night
shows red light to the motorman OF
driver

Rent Oh Murder.

Considerable excitement was caused
in the southeastern portion Of the Guy
yesterday evening about four o'clock by
a negro named William Brent, who shot
at Frederick Watkins, also coloreo.
The latter received several shot in his
forehead and Amos Robinson, coloredd,
a bystander, had three or four to lodge IN
his jaw. Brent after the shooting fled.
1t seems that Brent and Watkins be-
came involved in a difficulty near the
intersection of Pitt and Gibbon streets,
when the former ran to his house near
by and procured an old musket, loaded
with bird shot Returning to the scene
he fired at Watkins, who was standing
with crowd of negroes on the corner
with the esult given above. Brent
then returned TO his house, tossed the
musket in the front door and fed.
