plant, which is employed in the Stump
Neck work, completes it's contract il will
he taken across the river to erect a
wharf OF the upper side of Quantico for
the company operating the sulphur ore
mine near that point. The material
taken from the mine is to be carried by
a narrow gauge railway from the mine
TO the proposed pier. where it will be
loaded upon barges and lighters for
transportation to Alexandria and other
points where sulphuric acid making
plants are located. At present the Alex

IN MEMORY OF L'ENFANT.
Gavel Made From Tree Growing
Above His Grave.

A feature Of the meeting of the Column
bia Historical Society tomorrow evening
at the Shoreham will be the presentation
Of a gavel made from the wood of red
cedar which stood at the head OF the
grave OF EEnfant on the Riggs farm.
Last spring the body of the French en-
gineer and architect was removed from
the unmarked grave in private grounds to
Arlington cemetery. where an appropri-
ate stone is to be erected with money ap-
propriated by Congress. The society ac-
lively promoted this recognition of the
author Of the plan of the Capital city and
1t Is looked upon as appropriate that such
q souvenir should be in its possession.
In addition to the remarks I'm regard
to L'Enfant and his genius which such
an occasion will undoubtedly bring out
a paper entitled "a Historical Sketch of
the Unitarian Church of Washington"
