SEWER WORK.

A sewer running south from the
centre OF Columbus street, between
Prince and Duke, now connects near
the colored Odd Fellows Hall with
what was formerly known as the
"tanyard'' ditch, but which in recent
wears has been walled and is now the
cloaka maxima of the city. A lateral
sewer is now being constructed on Duke
street from Columbus to Alfred.
Work on the trunk sewer which be-
gins at the Stone bridge, upper Duke
street, and extends on Peyton to King
and on the latter thoroughfare to West,
thence north on West to Cameron,
thence cast to Henry, Is now being ex-
tended north on the latter street.
An examination Of map OF the city
will show that u considerable portion of
Alexandria is now provided with sewers.
The work OF laying lateral sewers is
constantly in progress, and it will not
be long before most OF the city will be
proyided with these essentials.

WEDNESDAYS STORM.

Echoes of Wednesday nights torn
are still being heard. The high wlno
blew down smokestack at the Alex
andria Fertilizer and Chemical Works.
It will be necessary TO renew ten feet Oh
the stack.
The storm seems to have been more
severe in Maryland opposite Alexan-
dria than in this city.
Ex-Sheriff Frank P. Hurd, whose
home is about five miles northwest OF
Upper Marlboro, Md, says:
"The hailstorm Wednesday night
was the worst | have ever seen in Mary
land. Within a radius Of five miles
from my house it totally destroyed
about 600 acres of corn, about 800, 900
plants of tobacco, many acres Of vege-
tables Of all kinds. peaches. apples and
all other kinds OF fruit. Tons of hail
we're lying in bitches adjacent to fields
Yesterday morning as late as II O'Clock.
Number Of chickens and even young
turkeys were killed outright. The
driving force OF the hail may be esti-
mated from the fact that ! saw holes
punched by the hail in cantaloupes,
watermelons and pumpkins large
enough tn stick your finger in. 5"
Advices from Princess Anne county,
Md, says, one Of the heaviest rainfalls
recorded in that section Of the state oc-
CURED "Wednesday evening Rain be-
gan to fall about $50 O'Clock and con-
tinued until 1890. The streets OF the
town were flooded, the sewers and sur
face being totally inadequate to carry
off the rain. In the northern section
of the town along the river points

CUTTER STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

The revenue cutter Onondaga, which
is now at Washington for the National
regatta today and tomorrow, had an
exciting experience Wednesday night.
The cutter was on her way from New
port News for Washington and when
opposite Jones point she encountered
the severe electric storm which ragged
with such yigor that night. The light
ming struck the cutters mainmast and
momentarily stunned two OF the sea-
men.
The men soon recovered. but the
electric bolt magnetzed the mast of
the cutter, and put the compass out OF
commission. Soon Capt. Wiley and
his men found themselves sailing IN
unknown waters in Il terrific storm
without the guidance of the compass.
1t was the Onondaga's first trip up the
Potomac, and as her pilot did not
know the channel, it was necessary for
the cutter to follow in the wake OF one
Of the river boats.

SENATOR ALDRICH'S REPLY.

Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, enumerating the count under
which he was indicted by Senator
Joseph w. Bristow, of Kansas, III re-
cent campaign speeches dealing WIN
the tariff and rubber. i'll letter, MADE
public in Washington last night, denies
the charges in their entirety. lhcluc'li-
ally he refers in caustic language 10
Senator Bristow and what he terms i
little group of men" which entertain
opinions similar to those of the ha',;,n'
The letter is addressed to Hon. " IT.
liam B. Mckinley, chairman oi tllG
republican congressional committee ana
was sent to the headquarters OF the
committee in Washington.
Mr.. Aldrich refers to the charges
made by Senator Bristow rs absurd
misstatementS.
Tn his letter the senator declares the
increase from 80 to 50 per cent on Il
small number OF manufactured rlooer
articles was for the purpose OF making
the tariff uniform on kindred articles
and facilitating the labors OF the Gus
toms officers. In that connection ne
made public letter to him from Cfch.
Thad S. Sharretts, member OF the
New York board Of general appraisers
asserting that the change was advisable
and had been agreed to unanimously
by the Senate and House committees
and by the conferees on the tariff hiIi
at the earnest solicitation OF the tarlf1
experts of the Treasury Department:
Laying particular stress upon thlS
charge made by Mr.. Bristow. Mr.. Al
drich says that neither he nor any
member of his family has ever had any
pecuniary interest as to whether inc
rates on manufactures OF rubber were
80, So or 800 per cent or whether crude
rubber was on the free or dutlable list. "
Among other things the senator says;
1T is true that ] am stockhoidcr ana
director in the 1ntcrcontInental hup-
Der Company; but none OF the othcr
statements referred to contain Il single
element Of truth. :"

Il Mr., westinghouse says, the expense
