procure names of certain enterprising

MIR. Stansbury's Views.

The Washington correspondent OF the
p;cbmond News Leader has recently IN
reviewed several Virginians regarding
VIRGINIA politics, among them Mr.. ID.
r Stansbury. of this city. The CORE
snondent saws: d. r. Stansbury,
citizen of Alexandria and clerk OF the
CITY council of that place, spoke as fol-
lows, concerning the political outlook 10
his State: "Unless the people OF lne
State of Virginia rise and throw of the
hold of the ring which is now in power,
she State may as well be given over 10
She republicans. Yessir, mean that un-
less the party which has had control OF the
State machinery for some years past, ana
which has engineered things Its own way,
is called down, you might just as well
nut the Slemps and the rest OF the re-
publicans right in, for they will undonDt-
edly 90 in two years from now. 40
NOT want to be misunderstood in this
matter. BY the ring | mean the state
democratic committee. ! call spade
spade. The ring must be broken. WhiIe
/ have not a word to say against oena-
tor Martin personally, or otherwise
will saythis, however, that having known
Governor Montague for some ten or
twelve years past, am going to support
him [ am also friend OF Senator
Martin. Of course, Senator Martin is
going to get a big vote, but | am for
Montague. | do not care TO be quoted
on the other race, for certain reasons.
II is impossible to tell what will be the
result of the race in Alexandria between
Swanson and Willard, because they each
have a good following there. However,
will say that think Swanson has lost
ground recently since the communication
,of Mr.. Mackey appeared in the Roanoke
paper think the accusations should
have been answered. Furthermore, the
fight between Willard and Swanson and
she bitter words between them have be-
yond doubt helped Judge Mann. Some
people say, We'll, | do not know
whether these things are true or not.
Judge Mann is a harmless man, and II
he should be elected he could not do the
State any harm, so | will vote Tor him. "

Fires.

Shortly before 10 o'clock last night
fire was discovered in frame house, &C.
cupied by colored people, on hill a
short distance east of the Portner
Brewery. An alarm was sounded and
the department soon arrived in the neigh
borhood of the fire, but as there were no
plugs near enough TO the burning house
to be of service, nothing could be done
toward staying the progress ofthe flames,
and the house was soon destroyed.
The explosion Of a can OF gasoline IN
a house on Queen street, between Royal
and Pitt, early this morning, caused an
alarm to be sounded. Neighbors, how
ever, prevented what might have caused
a serious fire, and the engines did not go
into service.
Yesterday afternoon a lire was sup
posed to be raging in building on the
north side of King street, between FAIR
fax and Lee, and extiDguishers were car
RED from neighbOring stores to the place.
No fire was found, however.

EirebugS.

The attempt on the part of some per
son to start 6res on Thursday night ID
the alley running through the square
bounded by Fairfax, Lee, King ana
Prince streets, has naturally caused APP
prehension among persons living in all
parts of the city. There have been sew
eraI other attempts recently to cause
disastrous conAagrations in Alexandra
but fortunately the fires have been dis
covered in time to prevent serious re-
sults The diabolical attempt on Thurs
dav night to set FIRE to feed warehouse
and stable at the same time has been
the subject of considerable talk. The
fires were discovered by man who has
charge of a mail wagon. Fortunately
chesapeake and Ohio train was several
hours late that night, and at the time
the wagon was taken into the alley the
fires had been barely lighted and the IN
cendiary vas seen to be making MS es-
cane. Had the fires burned few
minutes longer they would probably
have gotten beyond control. AgaSolIne
tank which was near the stable would
soon have been enveloped in flames
which. with the inhammabe stuff in the
stable and feed warehouse, would have
caused a roaring volcano in ashort time.
The police have for long time been en-
deavoring to identify the individuals
who are engaged in this fendish work.
but, alth ough they have at times sus-
pected certain persons, nothing has so
far been proven on any one.

ILLEGAL Shooting.

The marshes on the river about this
city now abound in black and reed birds.
The birds are particularly thick in Four
Mile run. The birds are nov compara-
lively tame, but it is stated gunners are
already after them in spite of the fact
that the cunning season does not open
until the Isl of September. The crack
of guns is heard daily south of this city
as is always the case at this time of the
year. Notwithstanding the positive laws
against shooting the birds out OF season.
In fact the law seems more honored IN
its breach than observance.
