K. A. Palmer. Dr. Purvis had had a narrow escape from being run over and killed by a locomotive at the intersection of Cameron and streets yesterday he avers that Mr.

Myers, the officers of the Washington Southern Railway, told iyor Strauss had given orders to eease ringing the bells of locomotives within the city's limits. The Mayor having issued no such order, he had Mr. Myers, Mr. Joyce and Dr. Purvis summoned before him this morning for the purpose of examining into the matter.

Dr. Purvis testitied that Mr. Myers told him after tho accident that the Mayor bad issued an order to the effect that ringing the hells of the loco? would be dispensed with. Mr. Myers, however, in his testimony said be suggested to tho Doctor that bis honor may hare given such directions.

Dr. Purvis still maintained that he had toted Mr. Myers's language literally. The Mayor defied all present to prove that he had issued such an order or in any way connived at the infraction of a plain law of the city, and warned the railway men that in future should loco? motives through the city without having their bells rung he would ar restand fine the engineer. Tbismisun derstanding is supposed to have origi? nated some mouths ago when an ap? peal was made to the Mayor to put a stop to the sounding of engine bells while some person who lived on tho liue of the railroad was sick.

Dm lie Mayor on that oc? casion said he could not annul a corpo? ration statute, and that if the ringing of the bells did annoy one sick person, dispensing with the custom would eu danger the lives of dozens of well peo? Grace C. E. Ball, rec? tor of Grace church. Alexandria, is a hard worker aud eloijuent preacher, und already there is a marked increase in attendance upon the services. This was especially so during July, notwith? standing the heat and the absence of many people.

The ninth Sunday after Trinity was a day long to be remem? bered iu this church, as on that day the communion table was seen as a fix ed and permanent altar, standing ele? vated upon a dais and having reared behind it a re-table and reredos, add? ing grace and dignity to it. The altar cross which has heretofore stood upon the table is now placed upon a i hrone and so giveu position. Hitherto the only robing room has beeu ap? proached by a door behind the com? munion table, thus making the sanctu? ary a mere passageway. To avoid tho continuance of this evil, aud so teach the proper reverence due to the holy place, a portion of the nave was parti? tioned thus forming a convenient vesting room. The entire work is of antique oak, made from plans drawn by the rector, and constructed under his personal supervision.

At the of? fertory these structures, together with the new marble font and the memorial chancel furniture previously placed in the church, were solemnly "set apart from all worldly and unhallowed uses" by a beautiful service of benediction. The rector and congregation are both to be congratulated on the completion of a work which renders the church attractive, churchly and conve? nient than ever before and with necessary adjuncts for a reverent ser? tiring Church. Police night was clear and mild. There was one prisoner at the station house. Mayor Strauss this morning disposed of the following cases Richards aud William Geary, who had been held ou the charge of stealing pool balls from Wm.

Nelson, were discharged for want of evidence. Solomon Miles, colored, charged with stealing chickens from Dr. Rust in the countv, had his case postponed un? til the James Sullivan, charged with gam? ming, was fined $2. Charles L. Richardson, arrested in Baltimore charged with seduction in Greenville, S.

Two railroad officers were reprimand? ed for not having the bells of locomo? tives rung while passing through the city. A German woman was before Justice Ihonipson charged by a neighbor with killing two of her chickens. The ao lused was made to pay for the two 'owls killed. a.

white man for being drunk in the was fined $2.50. John Milton and the Milton Smoke earner Company entered suit in Wash? ington yesterday for the rescinding of a j-oQtraet made October, 1S92, with Al to the purchase of iiii ee-huhs of a patent for a smoke burning device on locomotives. Tillie MeCracktnl accompanied by her friend Miss Maiy Kaus are visiting friends in Culpeper, Miss Lilly Makely, of so well known here as a teacher in our public schools a few years since, is visiting her many here. She is the guest of Mrs? Lucy E. Good (nee Lucy Courier.

Rev. J. H. Schwoy, pastor of the German Lutheran church, preaches his farewell sermon to-morrow in German. It is understood that Rev.

Mr. Glazur, of Syracuse, X. will succeed Mr. Schwoy. Two Stables twelve and one o'clock to-day a huge cloud of smoke suddenly shot upward from the square bounded by Payne, Fayette, Commerce and Prince streets, and an alarm of lire was sounded.

It seemed slow in reaching the engine houses, however, and the distress his? tle at the Midland Railway shops was sounded, which caused many to sup? pose the fire was at the depot. The department as soon as possible reached the real scene of the conllagratiou and began work. By this time the flames were roaring furiously from Mr. Julius 1 stable, in the rear of his resi? dence on the east side of Payne street. In a few minutes more the blaze had leaped to the stablo belonging to Mr.

YV. C. Richards, and the two structures roared in the throes of destruction. A strong wind from the southwest was prevailing at the time, and showers of sparks were wafted to buildings a square oil. The stables were soon burned out with their contents, and two small frame houses near by, belonging to the estate of the late John T.

Hill, were considerably damaged. Considerable anxiety was manifested by the occu? pants of houses coutiguou3 to the lire, and roofs were manned by people who were kept busy extinguishing ihe shin? gles as soon as they caught. The Rail? road Hotel, corner of King and Fay? ette caught several limes, but those on the roof kept the building from burning. In about forty minutes all danger was over, the firemen hav? ing confined the conflagration mostly to the stables. Mr.

Richards lost about worth of blocks and pulleys which he had in his stable. The origin of the lire is unknown. The report circulated while the lire was in progress that a colored baby had been burned to death was incorrect. Some old cartridges Mr. Driefus had stored in his stable crc I ated some consternation by exploding during the lire.

market this morn? ing presented an animated appear? ance. The attendance was good and the display elaborate. Butter and eggs were ample for the demand at about former prices. Watermelons and canta? loupes, which are very good this season, were plentiful and cheap. Apples were in profusion, as were also peaches at low prices.

Most of them, however, were of the cooking varieties. Fox grapes have made their appearance in large quantities, while hard pears and other fruits for preserving were plenti? ful. There was a plethora of lima beans and tomatoes, and both are low enough in prices to be withiu the reach of all. Potatoes, cabbage, onions, cym lings, turnips, egg plants, beets, snap beans, were to be seen on most benches. Green peppers for pickling have made their appearance.

Chickeus were abtiudant. Butchers' meats were displayed temptingly, but price? re? main in statu quo and very firm. Fish scarce. Croakers, trout, fresh mackerel and catfish were the only va? rieties displayed. Pretty flowers adorn? ed some of the benches.

Awaiting sher? iff of Greenville, S. arrived here last night having in custody Charles L. Richardson, who is charged with a serious crime on complaint of bis sis in-law, a deaf mute. Richardson was brought before Mayor Straus3 this morning who committed him until the proper requisition papers are received from South Carolina. The prisoner when brought here had $577 on his person.

Richardson's alleged victim is a handsome deaf and dumb girl of twenty. He fled to escape the ven? geance of the girl's brothera, taking with him all the cash he had in bank. He claimed that he ran away because he feared being killed on suspicion of being one of Governor Tillman's spies under the dispensary law. A Big the past few days the R. D.

R. R. Company paid out about $30,000 to its employees in and about this city. This money was paid principally through checks drawn on the First National Bank and that amount of money was at once put into circulation. This amount of mo? ney distributed through the various classes of trade within a few days should increase, the circulation in this city just that much and in a measure relieve the contraction in the circula? tion of money which has been felt here as elsewhere for 9ome time.

This will be the case if those benefitted by this distribution do not hoard the money, but if thoy do and others follow their example there will be little relief felt in money affairs for some time. difficulty oc? curred near Waterloo, in Alexandria county, on Thursday between John Knoxville and a blacksmith named Johnson, duriRg which Knoxville was severely cut on the head by a hatchet. The altercation was renewed yesterday evening when the parties njet at the blacksmith's shopuenr mencing in a rough and tumble fight and ending in Johnson severely cutting Knoxville in the stomach and on the arm with a horseshoer's knife. The wounded man was conveyed to Jus home, near St. Asaph Junction.
