ReiOiced at His Capture.

When the news of Sanders arrest
was carried to the little Alabama town
of McWilliams, the people almost
shouted for joy at the fact that the
fiend was behind the bars in Preston
and would pay the penalty for his
wanton double murder.
Sheriff Christian and Marshal Haw-
kins are likewise elated at their sue
cess in thus bagging this dangerous
black bear.

PLEASED INFLAMMATION
Action of Committee in Reporting
Ordinance Meets with Cen
Grafton Appreciation.

The thought that there is a strong
probability of the city council passing
the ordinance in favor Of the annex
alton OF additional territory to the city
at any early date is very encouraging
to the public generally. The ordi-
ance was given most CAREFUL con-
slderation by the special committee
of the joint committee on general laws
and finance who made favorable
report at Tuesdays nights, meeting
OF council. The matter was allowed to
lay every TWO weeks but there is strong
disposition on the part OF many
Of the members of both branches to
vigorously push its passage. 1t is be.
lieved that the large majority OF MEM
bers Of council are in favor of the
bill although number wish to con-
slider the financial end OF the proposed
move before voting for it.
As it is matter OF vital importance
to everybody in Alexandria, the Gazette
will publish the ordinance in full in
tomorrow's issue so that every one will
have an opportunity to study the pro-
visions OF the act.
Real estate men are confident that
the extension OF the limits will mean
the increasing value OF real estate in
the euburbs. Hundreds of Alexan-
drians own lots in George Washington
park and it is thought that number
OF houses will be erected there az soon
as that terriory is incorporated in the
city limits. This will give employ
ment to many mechanics and the en-
tire community will receive the benefit
of the building boom. -
That there will be a strenuous fight
by both Alexandria and Fairfax coun-
ties against the proposed annexation
OF any part Of these counties to the
city is the opinion which prevails here.
Already the Alexandria county board
Of supervisors, it is stated, has author
lied Commonwealth 3 Attorney Mackey
to employ additional legal counsel to
tight the matter. It is said that most
! Of the residents OF that county are bit
terly opposed to annexation.
People in West End, seem to realize
the benefits to be derived by being en-
+; braced, within the corporate limits Of
Alexandria, and those who talk on the
subject call attention to the fact that
gas mains would be laid on Duke street
extended and people of that suburb
would have police protection and en-
Joy the services OF the Alexandria fire
department whenever they should be
needed. The people north and north
west OF the city limits, however, have
ever been aversc to the proposed an
DeXation. For some unaccountable
reason some OF such seem steeled
against the city of their birth, where
they have acquired all they possess. and
after having contracted the suburban
fever boast OF shaking the dust OF our
old city from their feet: Many of such
have ever been in favor OF retrocession
of Alexandra to the District of Column
bia which would, of course, obliterate
the city from the. map. Alexandra
is determined to be the kite aud not the
tail of Alexandria county. and the
movement towards extending her
limits, which is her pcrogatiye under
existing conditions, will be pushed with
all the power at her command.

STEAMER OLYMPIC HIT
BY A CRUISER
Large Hole Torn in Huge Vessel by
Hawkes. Ramming Prow-2,0oo
Passengers Alarmed.

Southampton, England.-The White
Star liner Olympic, the biggest ship
afoat, was run down by the British
protected cruiser Hawke in the Solent
of Cowes in the Isle of Wight. Both
vessels sustained considerable dam.
age, but both were able TO reach
places OF safety under their own
steam. The cruiser returned TO Ports
mouth, from which she had just put
out. The liner anchored off Calshot
Castle.
Naturally there was great excite
ment on board both vessels, but not
the least symptoms OF panic.
Although the impact was so strong
that sailors on the cruiser were
thrown to the deck, none of the nearly
two thousand New York bound pass
engers on the Olympic was seriously
injured.
There are two theories regarding
the causes of the collision. One Is
that the navigating officer of the
Hawke miscalculated the length of
the Olympic and endeavored to 90
astern and that the suction or the
Olympic drew the much smaller YES
sci into her.
The other theory is that the
Hawkes. steering gear became
jammed.
Reports from the Olympic said that
the ship was leaking badly and had a
decided list TO starboard.
1t was said that the hole in the
side was 40 feet long. She is drawing
80 feet aft and 81 forward.
The Olympic, with the heaviest
bookings ever made for an ocean
liner, left Southampton with her final
destination New York. She was to
proceed to Cherbourg, where the pass
engers from Paris were awaiting her.
The greater part of her passengers.
however had been taken aboard at
Southampton.
Her first-class booking numbered
1872, and in all she was TO carry 2,OS5
passengers across the ocean. Be
sides these she had ships crew OF
over 900 officers and men.
