Our Virginia Letter.

Monday morning is here and it is
my time to write home through the
Dispatch. I feel sometimes it may
be an imposition on the editor, and
that few people may read these let-
ters. But I do enjoy the weekly
visita Of the home paper. I find
that I can mail a letter here Monday
at 1913 g. N. and have it appear that
week, and that I get the Dispatch on
Thursday at 1:6 p. m. So it seems
that I am only few hours further
from Lexington than when I lived in
the county.
Since my last letter I have been
unwell from bad cold. It lasted
only few days. There has been go

They have had time getting in
oats and hay. The former is about
all in now. Quite a lot was cut last
week in the rain. The hay is not all
cut yet, though it is ready to be
harvested. Only some Of the buck
wheat has been cut. Considerable
of this is grown here. I did not
know what it was when I saw it. I
cultivated several stalks in the gar
den in the spring, thinking it was
young okra. People here do not
know of okra. I am trying to raise
some, but it is late by supposing I

worker. from near Farmville, Va, we're
the victims of the accident. The former
has a broken arm and is cut and bruised
about the head. Fold is hurt about the
head and back, and it was at first thought
his injuries were fatal, but it was subs'-
quently seen that he was not seriously
hurt. The crane car on which the men
were employed was lifting into position
an iron girder weighing over eight tons,
when the car toppled over, it is said,
from the foundation giving away under
it. A number of iron workers who were
on the car jumped and escaped injury,
but Ford and Stebbins we're less iortu-
nate. The injured men are in the employ
of The American Bridge Company, OF
Phoenixville, Pa, which has the con-
tract for constructing the bridge work
incident to the railway improvements
near Alexandria. Both men were
brought to this city and placed in the
Alexandria Hospital. 1t is said that
the men who operated the crane had
been warned Of its dangerous position.

Alarm of Fire.

The alarm Of fire shortly before 3
o'clock this afternoon was caused by the
discovery of a slight fire in a building
on the east side of Fairfax street, be-
tween Cameron and Queen. A brisk
northwest wind was blowing at the time
and there was some apprehension as to
what would be the result Of the fire, but
the department, which was soon on hand,
quickly extinguished it. The building
was formerly known as st. Mary :
Academy. The damage was slight.
While the above fire was in progress
the roof of a house on Queen street
caught fire from flying sparks. This
was extinguished before any serious
damage resulted.

killed George Malcolm at that place.

affair Mr.. Ford said that the men who
attempted to arrest the Italian were a
legally organized posse and that the kill
ing of the Italian, if he was killed by a
shot from the posse, was fully justitiable'
This he will report TO the governor, who
will report to the State Department,
which in turn will report to the Italian
Minister Mr.. Ford said that the men
who attempted to arrest the Italian
showed marked bravery in the affair
