TRUCK HOUSE MONEY.
Common Council Concur in Actor
of the Board of Aldermen 10
Appropriating $4,000

There was a short session Of the
Common Council last night inc
meeting having been called for the
purpose Of considering the report OF
the finance committee recommending
the adoption of resolution Hppro-
priating $4,000 for the purpose OF
erecting a modern engine and truck
house en- the north side of Prince
street, near Royal. The action OF
the Board Of Aldermen in adopting
the report was concurred in and al
ter the resolution shafl have been
signed by the Mayor the money will
be available.
The dream of the members OF the
Relief Hook and Ladder Company IS
now about to cr.ystalize. Many years
ago the attention of Council was
called to the fact THAT the present
Itruck house was too contracted for
the purposes for which it has been
used for nearly half a century, 1t
having originally been constructed
| to house the Relief hand engine Of
ante bellum days. The city subsc-
quently purchased the lets on the
| east running to the alley in the CEN
| tire Of the square with the buildings
thereon, so that when'the city should
find itself in a position to do so ii
could construct a building which
would not only prove sufficiently
commod1ous for the uses of tho
truck company, but for the proper
housing of an extra steam fire en-
CINE which is kept to be used II
emergencies.

Eiframe structure adjoining which
have been Alexandria landmark:

yesterday. The deceased was for
merly engineer Of the steamer Tren-
Iton, of the Chesapeake and Potomac

being obliged to 90 to work excited
her sympathy. She said, You must
be married. I replied, Whom shall I
marry? You shall marry my neph'
ew.' But perhaps he won't marry
me- Yes, he will. I'll see to that.
AS soon as he sees you he She said
a lot of flattering things, adding that
you will be her heir and she would ar
range that we should enjoy her for
tune together. l gave her my picture
to show to you, after which she told
me that it was all settled, but that you
had been ordered to the Philippines
and a hasty marriage would be neces.
sary. Then l received a note from
her that you had been obliged to start
at one for San Francisco in order to
sail on a vessel leaving IN the 14th.
There was a good deal Of hating in
this brief statement, which was given
with downcast eyes and q pulling at
the trimming Of her dress. When she
came to the last sentence, giving me
my liberty and refusing to touch my
inheritance. what could I do?
Il refuse to accept my freedom l
said. 1T is you who must decide
whether or no l am acceptable to you.
But there is no reaso for hurry. I
am not going to the Philippines OF any.

a citizen. A mistake has been made.
I l am evidently Of the same name as
your soldier. Ny card was sent up to

less this man whom you have never
seen is speeding away to the other
side Of the earth. Consider me an ap-
plicant for his position. At any rate,
permit me to come again with proper
