Southern Railway, whose locomotive
struck and killed four persons at Brick
Haven recently, was a:raigned before

was negligent in the discharge of his
duty. Captain Mackey, Commonwealth S

the finding of the Justice as final and

Twenty-second Celebrations.

1t is reported that some members OF
the Washington's Birthday Celebration
Association are averse to celebrating
in future the 22d of February by a
parade, but favor a different method
of observance of the occasion by a
banquet, reading of WashingtOn's Fare
well Address, speschmaking, &c.
These gentlemen, like many other Alex
andrans, realize that parades bring large
numbers of visitors here, but it is
a mooted question whether Alexandria
is materially benefited by such affairs.
While these views are entertained by
some members of the association, no
action has been taken, majority OF the
organization not being impressed with
the ideas of the gentlemen alluded to
above. A meeting of the association
will be held in the Friendship engine
house tonight when the matter will be
discussed

Viroinia,s Claim.

Mr.. Wickham has introduced a reso-
luton in the Virginia Senate repeating
an act passed in 1888 by the provisions
of which S120, 900 due by the federal
government to the State of Virginia was
to have been transferred to the Mount
Vernon Avenue Association. The reason
assigned is that the association has made
no material progress, nor has its opera
tons been reported to the Auditor OF the
State. Several bills have been intro
duced in Congress looking to the pay
ment of this claim, which is for money
advanced the government in l!9o: IL
was subsequently alleged that the otate
of Virginia was really in debt to the
government after the $120, 900 claim had
been recognized, but Senator Martln
devoted some time in investigating
the matter, when it was demonstrated
that the boot was on the other foot
and that the federal government owed
the State 1920, 900, as was first alleged.
Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow, upon hearing
of Senator Wickham's resolution, COM
municated with Senator Machen, and the
latter is endeavoring to have the resolu-
ton sidetracked until the status OF the
case can be definitely ascertained. In
the meantime Mr. G. G. Carlin has gone
to Richmond with data which will be
used by Mr.. Machen, while Mr.. Carlin
will interview members of the Legislature
on the subject. 1t appears that when
the likelihood of collecting the claim was
remote the legislature manifested no
interest in it, especially when there was
danger of it being shown that Virginia
was in debt to the United States. Now
that Senator Martin has Strengthened out
the matter and the prospects of collecting
the claim are encouraging, the Legislature
seems DESTROYS of placing the $40, 900
in the States Golfers.

shower followed shower. The tempera-
ture was for the most part raw and dis
agreeable, and comparatively few people
