DEEPENING EASTERN BRANCH.
Dredge Pittsburgh on Channel and
Reclaiming River Flats.

The dredge Pittsburgh. belonging to
the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Dredging
Company, which about ten days ago COM
pleted a large contract for the dredging
of the harbor. is at work on the deepen
ing of the Eastern branch channels and
the retaining Of large section or the
flats at the mouth of the waterway. on
its southern side, near Giesboro point.
The pile driver belonging to the Clarke
& Winsted Company Of this city has
been employed for several days in driv-
ing rows of piles that will carry the pipe
line through which the material taken
from the bottom of the river will be
pumped upon the portion OF the mats
to be raised above the high water level:
The Pittsburgh has a lot of work to DO
in the Eastern branch. and VIII dredge
and pump ashore about 100000 cubic
yards of material The contract Will
require several months to complete.
Bends in the channel from the river TO
the navy yard will be cut away and the
channel will be made easy of navigation
for the naval vessels that come to this
city.
The dredging work In front OF Alex
andria, which has been in progress Tor
the past six months or longer. is ap-
preaching completion. though 1t Will be
several weeks before the last cut to TWEEN
ty-four feet will be made. The dredge
Canton is working on the northern sec
ton of the work. between the Alexan-
dria Chemical Company's plant and the
mouth of the old Alexandria and George
town canal, and the material from the
excavation is placed on packet scows to
be taken to the dredge Dewey and
dumped. 1t is thence deposited on the
cove between Battery Rogers and Jones
point. Since dredging operations began
early in the spring the cove has been well
filled with material taken from the river
and only a small section of water is now
showing. The Alexandria people are
using the reclaimed land as a promenade
along the river front. and there is some
talk of the city securing 1t for a public
park The shoaling of the harbor at
Alexandria was largely due to a barge
that fifteen years ago went ashore bows
on on the old piles at the mouth of the
canal and sank.

EARLY MORNING MYSTERY.
Shot Fired and Window Glass
Broken, But No DEVELOPMENTS,

The report of pistol, followed by the
crashing of a pane of glass In the win
dow of the paint and hardware store
of August Weber, Maryland avenue
and sth street northeast. this morning
about l o'clock. gave the police of the
ninth precinct a mystery to solve.
Persons residing in the vicinity of the
store heard the report of the weapon, but
no voices, and it was thought the bullet
had probably proved fatal to somebody,
but the police failed to find any trace of
blood.
A messenger boy told the police that
he was near Sth street and Maryland
avenue about the time the shot was fired.
He saw man running north from the
vicinity of the store. He did not get a
good look at the fleeing man, however,
and it was impossible for him to give a
description.
