Twenty Years Ago a Tornado Struck
Alexandria, Demolishing Build
ings and Crushing out Lives

Late on the night of September 80
1896, high wind swept over TINS
city and neighborhood, unrooIlng
many buildings, demolishing Others
uprooting trees and causing other
damage. An old citizen residing on
Cameron street was killed in his
home, which was crushed by the tail-
ing chimney and wall of an adJoin-
ing house, and woman lost her NE
IN her home in the extreme nortn-
western section of the city by the
blowing in Of a wall.
The weather had been threatening
during the day and early in the night
The wind then was from the north
west and was coming at times IN
heavy flaws. The barometer was
down to 20, which augured meteor
illogical disturbance. The wind later
began to veer, blowing from the east
and subsequently from the southeast
and south. The disturbance began
when it reached the latter point OF
the compass. The gusts were. the
heaviest ever witnessed by the Oldest
inhabitants, and chimneys toPpled,
walls were blown in, tin roofs sailed
through the air, trees were falling,
and branches were being snapped
from others, telegraph and telephone
poles were being Frustrated, while
the streets had become dangerous to
pedestrians from live wires which
had fallen in all thoroughfares. The
wires of the electric railways were
splitting fire, dogs were bowling and
children who had been awakened
from sleep by terror-stricken par
cnts chung to the latter.
During this period of terror. when
it was impossible to run trains or
make telephone connections, a citi-
zen, with the spirit of Paul Dcverc,
ran almost the entire way to the
Four-mile run power house and had
the electric current cut off.
The wind later, to the relief OF
every one, began to change to the
southwest, when a brilliant r:an2'
appeared and the storm was orcr, -
though many people were afraii to
seek their beds and suffered fton
anxiety and nervousness the re-
mainder Of the night.
It took a long time to replace roofs
upon houses and to clean up the de-
bris. A new brick, church owed by
colored people, in the northwestern
section of the city was demolished,
only the tower remaining.

Young Man Seriously Injuries Father
in-Law Last Night on
Fairfax Street.

4 & i. = 70. - 4 . :.
"Pm shot!' exclaimed Captain
Frank Dixon about eight o'clock last
might, and in less time than it takes
Ito tell it a large crowd rushed to
! Fairfax street, between Cameron and
Queen. Some one, not hearing the
words distinctly, supposed an alarm
jof fire had been sounded, and almost
Immediately the bells began to ring.
! 1t was assumed that>a fire was rag
ing near where the crowd had as
sembled, but upon investigation, It
was seen that Captain Dixon had
lbeen assaulted and blood was flow
+ ing freely down his coat and shirt.
In the meantime Henry Dixon, his
son, was fighting with Charles Quaylei
young one-legged man, who had
married Dixon's daughter.
Officer Garvey soon reached the
scene, and having separated Henry
Dixon and the latter's brother-in-hw,
arrested Quayle and conducted Dixon
TO the station house. Doctor T. M.
Jones was summoned who render
ed surgical assistance to the wound
ed man, taking two stitches in his
scalp.
The case was aired in the Police
Court this morning. Robinson Mon
cure appeared in behalf of Dixon,
and H. Noel Garner represented
Quayle. After Officer Garvey had told
what he knew about the affair, Dixon
testified. He said he was sitting upon
his doorstep. He had intended to go
to the corner of King and Royal
streets for the purpose of listening
TO the services conducted by the Sal
walton Army, when Quayle came
along and wantonly assaulted him,
delivering several blows with a stick
upon his head. The report of the
blows were so sharp that he at first
supposed he had been shot. He said
he had no words with his son-in-law,
and alleged that the assault was IN
provoked.
Henry Dixon, son of the injured
man, then took the stand. His test
money in the main corroborated that
of his father. He grappled with the
assailant after his father had been
struck. Witness said he never saw
Quayle walk with cane before.
Quayle's wife also testified that
she never saw her husband walk with
cane After queries had been pro-
pounded the witnesses by the lawyers,
..luayle took the stand. He said he
had earlier in the night attended the
Salvation Army meeting, after which
he started for Deans shipyard in
the extreme northeastern section Of
the city. IN passing on Fairfax street
between Cameron and Queen, he saw
IA man sitting on a doorstep talking
'uh another mar. He heard one of
them say "I'll get him." and when
he drew near he thought one of the
men started to rise. Surprising he
was the object of his vengeance he
used his stick upon the man. He al
legged that he did not know it was
Captain Dixon, and said he had no
reason to attack him and would not,
had he recognized him.
Justice Cation decided it was case
Of unprovol,ed assault, and fined
Guayle S25.

ASSAULT WITH STICK NIGHT OF TERROR BREAD Will NOT RISE
I ~ taIE n. .-gyi,i- 81 q ;
But Milk Will Cost one Cent Per
Pint More After Sunday Next
October LIST.

After Sunday a majority Of the
people of Alexandra will have to
pay one cent a pint more for their
milk, and they have been exercised
by continual run1ors to the effect that
the price of bread would also mount
in the near future.
The Gazette this morning sent a
representative to interview num-
Der of the local bakers on the sub
iect and finds that the matter Of a
rise has not even been seriously dis
cussed by them, even though the
price of all the raw material used
has greatly increased during the past
year or two.
Smith Williams, local manager Of
the Havenner Baking company, i'd
entitled with the Corby Bakery, says
that there is no probability that his
company, one of the largest in this
section of the country, will increase
prices in the near future at least.
Alexandria, therefore, is fortunate
in this respect. In practically every
other state people are being con-
fronted with serious increase of cost
of one of the principals of their diet.
1t is true also that the smaller
bakers particularly are facing a
pariuus time. It is but fair to them
to state the facts in the event that
necessity forces them to raise their
prices. Within two years flour has
increased nearly fifty per cent;
sugar eighty-two per cent lard ten
per cent; cottoseed OIL, ninety
per cent; gasoline Gor power) 80
per cent, and so on. At the best there
was but a narrow margin of profit
on bread or cake.
Various reasons for the tremen-
dous advance of the price Of flour are
given. The wheat crop. for this year
is stated by the government to be
only 654 millions of bushels, de-
crease of S5S millions Of bushels from
the crop last year. The shortage of
crop in Canada is said to approx
rate nearly 200 millions of bushels.
Or the other hand it must be rem
cmhered that there yet remains in
the granaries of many of the farm
crs, and the larger dealers, the crops
of 1915 and even 1914, 1t has been
estimated that fully one-half of the
crops of these years has not yet pass
ed into the hands which grind it into
-four. IT will, therefore, be seen that
skyrocl;eting Of prices of flour is as,
much due to, speculation, as to any
other cause.
There is Just, now a widespread
movement looking toward govern
mental action to place an embargo:
upon the expectation of winter wheat
,ar -four. iYestefda iitawas stated
authoritatiyeiy that the exports of,
these commodities are this year much
mailer than has been the case for
many years.
:, Officials IF the Corby Bakery, Karl
Fuchs, Henry A. schlichting, and
others. also declare that no steps have
been taken to increase the price of
any of their bakery products, although
all feel that they are getting a very
narrow margin of profit for their
!abcr.

we have granted loans to the amount
of about $500, 100000. In addition we
have taken back large sums of other

that it is safe to say that foreign in
vestments here, which at one time
amounted to $1,000 100000, have
been lessened fully $500, 100000,
showing a most remarkable investing

States. By means of these transac-
lions we have greatly reduced our OBJ
legations abroad; our remittances in
the future will be less and we will be
to that extent better able to meet our
domestic requirements for capital at
home. If the war had done us no
other good, it has proved and fully
awakened us TO a realization of our
financial independence. Henceforth
we will be less and less a borrowing
nation, while our ability to lend
abroad will correspondingly increase.
The net result will be to immensely
advance New York as an international

The Austrians are making deter

retention by the Montenesrins threat
ems the Austrian hold on Cattaro.
Since the beginning of the war, Aus

be attacked only from Mt. Lowen,
where the Montenegrins year ago in

For six days the Austrians have
been attempting to drive the Monte

Austrian troops are attacking on the

ships in Cattaro harbor are furiousiy

If the Montenegrins can hold Mt.
