health. Captain Charles Alvey. a 'IIagers-
town attorney at law, committed suicide
Wednesday afternoon in his Office on the
second floor Of the First National Bank
Building, Hagerstown, by shooting HIM
self through the heart with Colt army
revolver A note addressed 10 bis mother,
Mrs. r. H. Alvey OF Hagerstown. left
instructions for the settlement OF some
private affairs, but no hint OF the direct
Cause of his act
Mrs Alvey his wife, was in Cambridge

City Garbage Collection.

With five other contractors bidding the
contract for the collection of garbage
from the streets of the city for a term of
two years was awarded to 3. Eugene
VirtS for S5,S45 Wednesday night at a
special meeting OF the Board of Alder
men, which was called especially to con-
slider these contracts. VirlS must furnish
bond of $4,000 for faithful performance
OF his work
The other bidders were:
J. A. Iamison, S. 900; II. D. Baum
gardner, $4,000; Edwin Freed, $500;
Marshall l.. Grove, SIS, 600; Willard Gar
rett and L. r. Pagan, &c.
While three of the bidders were within
a hundred dollars of the contract price,
the difference between the lowest and
highest bidder was more than two thouS.
and dollars. 1t was only after a short
secret conference that the members of the
Board decided TO award the contract TO
the lowest bidder 1t was almost the
unanimous sanction of the Board, and
when the question was put to a vote 1t
was carried unanimously.
By awarding the contract for a period
of two years the Board of Aldermen
saved the city S345 over the contract Of
last year. Last year Deputy Sheriff Jones
was awarded the contract for one year at
a price of $3,I95. The bids were very
close at that time.
1t was only at the regular meeting of
the Board Of Aldermen last week That ii
was decided to reject the four bids handed
in at that time and ask for new bids on a
two-year term 1t was believed that it
would paw a contractor to fix a lower bid
providing he knew he would have the
contract for two years. With the swear
ING in Of the next Board of Aldermen and
Mayor the contract will be awarded for a
period of three years.
