!: HISTORY oE OLD HOME.
Interesting Data Relative to Owners
of Fairfax House, Recently =.
: Sold.

| The old house on Cameron street
recently sold by the heirs of the late
David A. Windsor, to Mr.. ]. H. Crilly,
was built by William Yeaton, ma
tive of New England, who came to
Alexandria with his brother, Joshua
Yeaton, about 1900. The house was
built on land leased from Charles
Alexander, whose heirs collected the
rent until some time in the seventies,
when the ground was purchased by
Mr.. Windsor. who had then owned
the house for some years. William
Teaton and his wife, Lucia, gave
deed of trust on the property in 1916
soon after the house was built, but
failing to comply with their contract,
suit was brought before the Circuit
Court of the District at Alexandria,
and it was decreed that the prop
erty should be sold by Charles Page,
as commissioner, at public auction
in 1880. The Bank of Potomac
bought the property and sold it
December O. 1880, to Thomas Lord
Fairfax, for the sum of $1,000. Mr..
Fairfax, as he preferred being called,
died in 1916 devising the house to
his heirs. DR.. Orlando Fairfax,
occupied it u p to the time OF the civil
war, during which he resided in Rich
mond Virginia. This house was oc-
cupied for several years by northern
people, and it is said that the hand
some mirror that is in the parlor
was only saved from being carried
off by the wit and presence of mind
of citizen of Alexandria who was
called to do the work of removal.
He declared that the mirror was SO
built into the wall that it would be
destroyed by any attempt to dis
lodge it. This mirror was given by
General Lafayette to Governor Nor
ris, kinsman of the Fairfax fam
lily, who was minister to France.
During the period Of the French
Revolution, it was more successful
ly looted from the Tuileries than
from the old house in Alexandria, and
finally found ai.placeHrs5 the wall of
the Morris home in New York. At
the time this house was built Mr..
Yeaton had made for the hall a
handsome mahogany table which had
inlaid in colored woods on its front
panel a picture Of the house. This
table was and still is probably, own
ed by the family of the late Will
liam c. Yeaton, of Alexandria. The
old residence, beautiful In It's inte
rior, as we'll as in its external ar
chitecture we'll merits the careful res
toration which Mr.. Cr'illy will doubt
less give it. and it is hoped that it !
dill long be monument to the town.

this life one year ago today.
The month of February once more is
here,
To US the sadest of the year;
Because it took from us away
Our darling father, one year ago

Yet again we hope to meet him
When the day of life is fled,
When in Heaven with JOY to greet
him,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
No father dear to guide US,
With love sincere and true,
No father to careSs US,
AS he was wont to do.
The dear one no wis sleeping,

Oh, blame US not for weeping,
We have no father now.

Can we help but shed a tear?
Yes we miss him, oh, we miss him,
When we see his vacant chair,
But how sad the home without him
For We have no father now

Bringing about PeaceaDle Out
come of Issues at Stake.

New York, Feb. lS.-The imminent
danger of strike of $4,000 locomotive
fremen, tieing up 81 eastern rail-
roads, was avcrtcd today by the unex-
pecicd and reluctant consent of the
railroad managers to arbitrate the

gers was acclaimed by he firemen as
Il victory.
The decision of the railroad mana

fre:aen as it was unexpected. Arbi-
ration under the Erdman Act was
the aam, one thing for which the fire
men had held out against any amend
&c CT. counter proposals made by the
railroads. II was the contention OF the
frcmen's representatives that the
rail Dads were forcing the strike is
sue by refusing to arb!trate under
this act.
Tie p.incipa! share Of credit for
bring about peaceful settlement Of the
dispute rests with Judge Knapp, and

AFFAIRS IN MEXICO
ARE UNCHANGED
Two Armies Occupy Prac-
tically The Same Posi-
tions.
4 AndEDIrANT TNHTpEn
AMERICAN INJURED.
Many Prominent Mexicans in Jail
Strict Censorship Maintained
+ Taft's Statement.

Mexico City, Feb. 1.-Two cannon
shots at 10:15 a. m, today made the
first noise of battle that sounded in
the city today. 1t could not be learned
which side had fired the shots.
It was thought that today's battle
was on when this noise broke the per-
feet silence that has existed through
! the earl yhours, but everything be-
came quiet Immediately. 1t is thought
that the battle may start at any mo-
ment
Mexico City, Feb. 1S.-Fighting
was not resumed as usual early today.
The guns on both sides of the battle
zone were silent long after Dawn. No
reason was given for the queit., al
though it was declared at the National
Palace that no arnlisitce was ineffect.
1t was expected that firing would be-
gin before the day was far advanced.
The two armies were occupying prac-
tically the same positions except that
the federals, who had pushed their
guns forward toward the arsenal late
yesterday had withdrawn them to a
less exposed position.
Mexico City, Feb. 1S.-When the
fighting is resumed today it is be-
lieved the rebel army will have a
slight advantage.
). The federal artillerymen early this
morning were occupying a position a
shoit distance back of where they
stood for the last few days. They had
! tried to advance to get better posi-
tion yesterday but the fire from the
Diaz machine guns drove them back.
Only one injury to an American was
reported in yesterdays fighting. A
man named Gibbons was wounded
while standing near the American En-
bassy.
\ Many prominent Mexlcans were in
Ijail today, charged with completely in
IA plot to smuggle food and money to
}Diaz. There was no confirmation that
K Francisco de la Barra once provisional
lpresident of the republic, was to be
farrested, as was reported over the city
| last night.
Because of the strict censorship Am
)bassador Wilson of the United States
planned today to publish small news
paper for the benefit of Americans and
other foreigners in the capital. The
|lgovernment has refused to permit To-
Heal newspaper plants to operate be-
cause of their proximity to the battle
zone.
! President Madero when he received
President Taft,s reply to his note pro-
Nesting against intervention by the
|fUnited States ordered the reply tele-
jphoned to the loyal officials Of every
Estate in the republic. He said he ex-
Ipected just such reply and was conf
dent that the government at Washing
ton would not order any troops landed
In Mexico during the present trouble.
President Taft's statement will be
| iprinted and spread broadcast through
but the country.
