At the appoiuted hour the two teams appeared upon the grounds, the Pantops distinguished ick and red stockings and the High School by plain red. Both teams were loudly cheered.

Prices lower and stock thau evcr- Some remarkablv ia their advertise' A Ska Serpent in the Potomac? Just before the transfer tugboat Biew erton made her landing; in this city about twelve o'clock on Thursday night and while the boat was between the Vulcanizing Company's wharf and her slip, a dock hand uoticed an elongated specimen of the ophidian creation iu the river making a spiral motion to? ward tug. The man viewed the object with some interest and finally called to the fireman to come and see the object of his attention. The latter emerged from the fire room with his lantern, and by this time the creature was iu close proximity to the boat.

The fireman placed his lantern on the rail in order to throw the light alongside the tug, when he was startled to see a ser? pent about eighteen feet long, as thick in places as a stove pipe, with a head as large as that of a puppy, making to? ward the light. He relaxed his hold upon the lantern and it tumbled into the river, and he beat a hasty retreat toward the fiie room. Nothing could be seen of the reptile after the tug had been made fast iu the dock. Some think a huge anaconda has escaped f.om a museum and has, like the seal which was liberated last summer, taken up his abode in the Potomac. however, who believe iu the existence of sea serpents, cite the adventure of the fireman and the deck hand as an incontrovertible argument that the sea is inhabited by huge ophidians and that one of them has taken up its abode in fresh water.

Francis L. Smith and Miss Margaret V. Smith have ri timed from a pleasant visit to Rich: mond. Miss Bessie Corse has returned from a visit lo Loudoun ami Faufiuicr couu ties, This week's issue of the New York Police Gazette contains a good picture of Mr. F.

L. Entwisle, secretary of the Columbia Fire Company. The Gazette i-Mys Mr. Entwisle is one of the most efficient and active of Alexandria's fite men. Rev.

J. Calvin Stewart and bride were tendered a reception at the Church of the Covenant in Richmond Thursday night by the congregation of that church. The pretty little eiifice was beautifully decorated. The plea? sure of the occasion was heightened 1 several instrumental selections; Mr. Jouu Abeushine, who has been confined to bis home for the past six weeks with rheumatism, is able to be out again.

Miss Etta Wilson, of Wakefield, Westmoreland county, is visiting Mrs. G. J. Cox on Prince street. Mrs.

Mason, of the Telephone Ex? change, is visiting her father-in law, Dr. Mason, in Washington. Mr. Frank M. Wood will leave to? morrow for the Presbyteiian Hospital in Baltimore to have an operation for cataract performed.

The B. 0. Railroad Little or nothing is now heard of the depot building and freight warehouses which in the summer it was stated the B. 0. R.

R. company would erect in this city this fall. The company dur log the summer purchased a lot on the river front, south of the Pioneer Mill, on which to erect suitable buildings, secured the passage by the City Couu cil of special acts allowing them certain street and railroad privileges, and later sent engineers here to draw plans of the proposed buildings, tracks, but since then the matter seems to have been forgotten. Although the city vir? tually has the advantages of a B. O.

conuection, yet many of the merchants think that additional advantages will result if the company erects and owns its own buildings here and the general hope is expressed that the idea of mak? ing this city a terminus of that road has not been abandoned by ita officers but that the buildiDg will be erected at an early date. Impudent the early part of last night two drunken tramps stationed themselves on upper King street and intercepted every one who came along by beggiDg. They walked in front of ladies as well as gentlemen aud importuned both for money. Some ladies became frighten ed and were compelled to go from the into the roadway in order to got by them. Private Watchman Lp6 went to Mr.

Frank Pollard's feed store and telephoned for an officer, and later Officer Davis ap? peared and with Mr. Geuzberger's as? sistance both men were locked up. At the station house one of them acted un detiling the place and making himself disagreeable generally. This morniug Mayor Strauss sent both of the accused to the chain gang under the vagiant act. Rev.

T. H. Rice delivered the first of a series of sermons Thursday night at the Westminister church. He se? lected his text from St. Matthew 1:21 "Thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins." Mr.

Rico called the attention of the people to the fact that the Old Testa meut is always looking forward; that its history its prophecies its psalms all looked forward to the coming of the Saviour. His reference to the signifi? cance of names in the Old Testament was beuutiful and his illustrations were apt and forcible throughout. The tvicur's people were not any particnb class or race but simply sintiers. Mr. Rice's style is not oratorical but earn? est and conversational, aud his ideas are expressed with and clearness.

Lynchburg Advance. All in a Virginian, now a resident of Washington, was in the city to-day and called at this office. He said that recently he met a friend in Washington who at one time lived in this city who told him that he contem? plated returning to Alexandria and starting a paper here that he thought he could make "a go," and asked him to suggest an appropriate name for the paper. The Virginian told him to call it Potomac Herring, and said that if the next fishing season was good it would have a good run.
