DEFICIENT IN FOG BELLS.
Sailing Craft Complained Of by
Steamboat Men.

Complaint is made by tugboat and
steamboat men OF the sailing vessels en-
gagged in freighting on the river that are
not equipped with a bell on which to
sound signals while lying at anchor in
thick and foggy weather.
Masters OF these vessels-nany schoon-
ers that have seen better .days-anchor
them in foggy weather and depend on
striking sticks against the mast or in yell
ing to warn steamers to keep away from
them.
During the foggy mornings of last week
steamboats, passed too close for comfort
to several craft lying at anchor between
this city and Alexandria. Complaint is
to be made to the custom house authori-
ties
Should a steamer strike one OF these I'M
properly equipped vessels. and injure or
drown any of the crew, II would mean
an investigation by both civil and steam
boat inspection officials. and would put
the captain OF the steamer to much trou-
BILE and expense to clear himself Of seri-
Gus charges.

DEPARTMENT DRUG STORE.
Reopening Of Peoples Store at 7th
and Massachusetts, Avenue.

The reopening of the Peoples drug
store recently at the southeast corner of

given Washington one Of the most COM
plete establishments OF the drug trade

cal instruments and miscellaneous stock.

was selected after a careful search Tor
possible locations by the proprietor ana
his assistants.
