Of the gang and found one OF them !, IN
was a pistoltoter. He disarmeu Ms
negro and conducted him to the s!a-
ten house. The prisoner was oesif-
Gus of being liberated, but ne was
told that unless he could deposit
twenty dollars with the desk ser
peant he would be compelled to pass
the night in a cell. The negro, VINO
gave his name as Joe Nickens, manag-
ed to raise the necessary Where"ieh-
al and was turned loose with the or
der to appear before the Police Court
this morning. When the case was
called his whereabouts could not De
learned and his collateral was 1or-
Ifeited. Twenty dollars is the MINI
mum fine for carrying concealed Wea-
oons, and Nickens doubtless concluded
TO take no risks, as he might have
been assessed fifty dollars.
A Richmond paper few days ago
.leplored the fact that pistols can be
procured by any person who has the

Roadway Under Telegraph Road
Crossing is Often Filled With
Mud.

\ The abolition of the grade cross
Riinp on the Telegraph Road on the
border Of Alexandria, the scene OF
several frightfur accidents in past
years, is appreciated by the travel
ing public; not only BY people resid-
ing in Fairfax county, south Of Alex
andria who make frequent visits here,
but by the many in this city as well
as others Of Washington, especially
those who use automobiles, motorcy-
Giles or vehicles of any kind.
But there is an Inconvenience which
lis causing no little annoyance to all
iwho pass under the tracks after rain
Mud is, washed into the tunnel and
remains there for some time. The
gratings which are intended to carry
the water into the sewer are entire
Ely too small, and during, heavy down
pours there is a veriable quaqmire
lin the passageWay.
This trouble could be remedied at
a slight cost. The elimination OF TINS
dangerous grade crossing was long
considered by the Corporation Com
mission before any definite plan was
fixed upon by the railway companies
land the commission. 1t was at first
proposed to erect a bridge over the
tracks, but upon investigation this
was found to be impracticabie and II
Twas finally determined to place the
road under the tracks. This was ac'
complished months ago and the worS
! surned over to the Board of Super
9gisors Of Fairfax county. Now thai
the safe passagway is a reality, peo'
ole who are compelled to use it arc
anxious that the Inconvenience spoken

laRKEY VIII 4 PIsTOLDEFECT IN DRAINAGE
Perennial Nuisance at Fountain .at
Intersection of Cameron and
Royal Streets.

The erection by the Daughters OF
the American Revolution of a drink
ing fountain at the intersection o.
Cameron and Royal streets several
wears ago was hailed with delight, not
only by Alexandrians but by the many
visitors to Alexandria, especially
those from the rural districts who
come to this city weekly, as place
was provided for watering horses
dogs and birds, as well as providing
drink for pedestrians.
The object of those who furnished
the fountain gratuitously to the city
was commendable and it is justly ap-
preciated. There is, however, mat
ter in connection with this great con-
yenience which is often spoken of in
i critical manner. The pipe intend
ed TO carry off the waste water is
too small, and attention has often
been called to this TACT. AS conse-
auence water spreads over the streets
in mild weather and sheet of ice in
winter.
Besides, in it's present condition, the
fountain is unsightly and not invrt-
ing to those who would approach it
and drink of the water which comes
from it. Thousands of visitors come
to Alexandria yearly. Most of them
necessarily pass the fountain in going
% the Alexandria Washington Lodge
room and the Carlyle House, and upon
their return to Christ Church. Many
mo doubt, would enjoy the thought OF
drinking from a fountain in sight OF
The church which Washington attend
ed. Is there any real reason why
this new and useful landmark should
re neglected after it was generously
bequeathed to our city?

 Vice President Robert & Fisher. who is still in Missouri in the interests of the company. informed MT. Eads just before the latter's departure for home that J. NJ. Short and others, operating large zinc holdings in the Joplin dis trict, are interested in the Union mine. Short took out nearly million dollars worth of zinc in the past Is months. but the zinc market has sagged lately and interest in it is doing likewise. Hence the interest in a gold proposi- ton. The Short group seems inclined to take over the entire issue of 100000 shares of treasury stock, taken east for promotion by Messrs. Eads and Fisher.
 On the property development work l, Is being pushed. While some of the operations are being delayed owing to delays in arrival of machinery. other forms of exploration and development are going on apace.
