HANDSOME RESIDENCE TO BE
ERECTED.

Contract has Just been awarded TO
NJ. J. W. Devers, builder, for the con-
strcctiOn Of one Of the hands0mest
houses ia Alexandria county. The site
is On the high ridge overlooking Wash
inston and the Potomac O1e OF the
mo striking features in the new resi-
den g will be the front porch with
massive columns extending through
two stories. The design will be colonial
aud this will be the first example OF the
poured houses in this style. The ex-
terror will be of cream white with gray
green shutters. Window sash will be
divided into small pancs. To the north
will be a generous porch. To the west
will be garden front. The garden
will receive especial attention as II IS
intended that during the summer
months il will be largely used for open
air living. Upon entering the reception
hall from che lofty poriico an exclusive
VISTA will appear through a rear arch
way into the garden. The reception
hall is arranged to open through wide
doorways into the dining room and liy-
ing room, which adjoin it. The dining
room will have large fireplace and
one side will be fitted with a window
seat having china closets built in on
either SHE. The living room will have
French easements opening on to the
SIDE porch. At the year OF the living
room is ;he library which opens direct
Is intOl the garden, the kitchen with
store-roOm end pantry occupying the
southwestern corner.
On the second floor will be four gen
erous chambers with bath aud ample
closets. and space for two bed rooms
on the .hird. A window seat is at
forded Oh the stair landing and an at
tractiVe loggia opens at the front from
which the cxquistive view can be en-
joyed. All the principal rooms in the
house will have open fireplaces for
ventilation. The house with tho porch
will be over fifty feet in frontage, while
the depth is nearly thirty feet. Hot
water heat will be used through
out and colonial decoration and detail
will everywhere prevail. The plans and
construction are under the direction Of
Milton Dana Morrill,, architect, OF this
city. The entire section between Wash
ington and Alexandria has had re-
markable growth during the past few
years and the development OF the
poured houses in that section has at
tracted many visitors during the past
season, since this new construction re-
duces cost largely over the usual
method of building. Danp-proof ce-
ment houses are filling a long felt want
in bringing home ownership within the
reach Of the man of moderate means.

F1nE ON TIE HIGHWAY BRIDGE

The highway bridge over the Potomac
had narrow escape yesterday after
neon from serious injury by fire. The
fire was caused by the burning Of two
heavy wagon loads of straw, which
we're being hauled from Virginia to the
Washington haymarket, and which had
been abandoned some hours previous to
the fire by the teamsters in charge.
The first wagon becoming overturned
blocked the way so that the following
vehicle could not pass. The horses had
been Embarrassed and taken to stable
in Washington. The tirehghter soon
steamed W to the draw and her crew
quickly leil a line Of hose over the
bridge to the point where the flames
threatened to damage the structure.
In short time the situation was mas
tered. At the time of the fire high
gale prevailed. Travel was brisk in
both directions over the bridge. The
fire blocked traffic for more than an
hour.
