rected the jury to render verdict in favor

merly director OF the census. as agent for
his wife, Laura Merriam. The latter. 1t

the stock and receive back the considera-
tlon. He says that he gave the proper

Columbia was burned at her slip in this

Columbia was burned at her slip in this
city, In May, 1908.
Her owners would not rebuild her, but
after an interim of several months sent an
old boat. the George Washington. from
New York to do the ferry service. She was
antiquated and slow. and last fall was prac-
tically condemned by the United States
steamboat inspectors, and was withdra wn.
Since that time there has been no boat on
the ferry. and it has been more difficult to
send freight from this city to Alexandria
than to New York The wholesale nler-
chants in Alexandria who do business here
and the retail stores where the Alexandria
people buy largely have been forced to send
teams over the road in all kinds of weather
In order to accommodate their patrons.
Often four and six horses were required to
pull the heavily loaded wagons over the
muddy roads in Alexandria county. and the
delivery of goods between the two cities
was accomplished with much trouble and
expense. But The Star is assured that this
will soon be a thing of the past, and in
short time ferry steamers will be again
running on the Potomac.
