Several years ago DR.. Walter f..
Harris, correspondent of a London

roccan Sultan. was captured by the

Harris finally secured his freedom by

American Held for Ransom.
Two years later Raisuli seized Ion
Perdicaris, native Of New Jersey,
which act was the occasion of the dis
patch of United States squadron TO

ultimatum purporting to have ema-
mated from the state Department:
"Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead"
which caused great enthusiasm at tho
Republican National Convention III
Chicago. which nominated Mr.. Roosa-

Raisuli's next exploit was to cap
ture an Engllshman, Kaid Sir Harry
MacLean the adviser of the sultan.
Macf-ean was held for seven months,

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. .
The first days session OF the State

The first days session Of the State
Firemen's Convention at the Opera
House yesterday was one OF the most
pleasant and harmonious gatherings
held in this city for long time. The
members we're, in scriptural parlance,
OF one accord, and they had met pro
bono publico. They are the reprcscn-
tative frefghters OF the Old DOMINION
animated by one noble purposes
cor to their fe)low-beings at times
when acts of substantial friendship
count so much. The proceedings were
devoid of contention, save the noble
contention OF who can best work and
best agree. In reality, brethren were
dwelling together in unity. In Alex
andria. as well as in all sections OF the
commonwealth, prominent and repre-
sentative citizens are active lircmen.
Their services are rendered gratultouslS'
as are those in all communities VINO
realize it is their duty to Till compi'-
mentary positions which call for rcspon-
sibility and often observation-disclosures
and labor. This is the second time the
state convention has met in AlcXan-
dria. The members were leased with
their experience in this city on the first
occasion. There is every reason to be-
lieve they will leave for their homes at
the close of the week with many more
pleasant recollections of our city, where
George Washington unhcsitatinglv per-
formed his duty as fireman shortly
before he assumed command of the con-
tinental army.
