UNLOADING ICE.

The schooner Maria Q. Teel, Capt.
Davis, from North Boothbay,. Me. +,
which arrived Wednesday consigned to
the Mutual Ice Company, has been
berthed at the wharf OF the Mutual Ice
Company to unload. The ice is to be
used in filling the tanks OF the refrig-
orators cars going from the sou'ae-n
farms with spring fruits and vegetables
for the markets at Philadelphia New
York and Boston.
During ;he spring ana summer
months many thousand tons OF ice arc
used at Alexandria in reicing the fruit
and vegetable carrying cars, special
plant having been constructed in the
Potomac yards for this worK. 1t is
stated that ten or more cargoes OF ice
from Maine will be brought to this
port in the next four months to be
used for car refrigerating purposes.
The four.masted schooner John
Twohy, with about 1900 tons OF ice
aboard, has been chartered to bring
the next cargo to Alexandria, and it is
probable that the Teel will go back to
Maine for another load.

MYSTERIOUS AND
BRUTALMURDER.
Twelve. Year Old Student the Victim
disappeared About Month
Ago
DECOMPOSED BODY is FOUND
Boy Had Been Terribly Maltreated
and Mutilated Before Death-In-
sane Criminal at Large.

North Providence, p. |. March %
The entire police power Of the state
was ordered into action today follow
ing a conference between Governor
Bother and Attorney General Rice to
solve what already has proved the
most mysterious and brutal crime in
the history of the state. Twelve
year old Willie Mathers, the track
student of his class, disappeared after
leaving school exactly one month ago
today. His frantic parents searched
everywhere but could find no trace of
the child. The entire country around
the town was carefully searched and
it was finally thought the boy had
been Kidnapped.
Yesterday Charles Green, while
walking across Moses Angel Hill saw
what he thought was torn bundle of
rags. He examined it and was horri-
fed to find that it was the decomposed
body of small boy. The police rec
oznized the clothes as those worn by
Willie Matthers when he disappeared.
The child had been terribly NAL
ated and brutally murdered. An au-
topsy showed that the body had been
mutilated before death and that most
of the clothing had been torn from it.
The autopsy revealed a serious crime
and showed that death had resulted
from the skull being crushed.
The police arrested a seventeen
year old Italian youth but soon releas-
ed him. A number of assaults on
children in this vicinity have been re-
ported and there is growing belief
chat an insane criminal of the Jesse
pomeroy type is at large.
But one real clue is in the hands of
the police. They have blood STAIN
ed rubber overshoe, found near the
boys terribly torn body and they be-
ieve it was pulled from the foot of
the murderer during struggle which
apparently occurred from the mute ev-
idence of the torn clothing and condi-
ton of the ground. That the boy was
able to put up hard fight which in
dications shcSv he did, the police be-
ieve the murderer was not overpow-
erfuI.
a dollar watch which the boy car
ried is missing, and the police believe
the murderer stole it.

Subscriptions Easier to Secure

The third and last period of the con-
test, which commenced yesterday, will
be hummer and will certainly bring
some surprise to AZ who have been
watching the race. The conditions
are all favorable for all of the candl-
dates. The contest has been so thoro-
ughly advertised all through this sect
ion that everybody knows about it,
and candidate will not be required
to occupy much time in explaining to
her friends upon whom she calls for
support. This should make the work
of securing subscriptions much easier
than at first and it ought not to take
as long to amass big vote as when
rne contest first started and the peo-
pie were unfamiliar with the conditi-
ons of the offer.
This fact should cause those candi-
dates who haven't made much Of a
showing thus far in the race to get a
move on themselves and strive to win
the trips.

VOTERS TAKE NOTICE.

! am very anxious for the voters of
Alexandria to understand thorough
ly that l am seeking their support
for the Office of Mayor, with the prom
ise to do all in my power for better
streets, better schools and more
modern city conditions, believing that
our progress in the future should De
far ahead of such progress as we
have made in the past.
There seems to be desire on the
part of some, to inject issues into the
campaign which do not properly be-
long there, and although this is very
unfortunate, yet, it will of necessity
be met and fought out when the prop
cr time comes, if the actual issues
continue to be confused with imag-
mary ones, for purely political pur-
poses.
| strongly urge the voters to real
ize that the actual issues are OF the
greatest Importance, as there are a
great number of cities, severa! OF
which are right in Virginia, who have
grown and prospered by their own
efforts, and have not become bank
rupt in doing so, but instead, have IN
creased their citys wealth, their peo-
ple's wealth and their peoples earn
ing power past anything Alexandra
has known in recent years.
We have the natural advantages,
and stand for developing them along
progressive lines, believing that
majority of our people are tired OF
having their progress blocked by OBJ
solete ideas when it can be obtained
by progressiveness
This is not a political issue, but 1t
is business issue that every man
who expects Alexandria to be his tu-
ture home or the future home OF his
children must meet squarely and
figkt out.
