Durfee, State Superintendent of Insurance of Illinois, announces that the Alexandria Fire Insurance Com? pany of this city, is not authorized to do business iu Illinois. The Alexan? dria Fire Insurance Company never had an agency in Illinois and never applied for one. The Manassas Gazette says: The Southern Railway Company is still cur? tailing its force of employees. On Fri? day of last week about 400 were dis? missed on the line from Washington to Atlanta, and with former dismissals it is thought the aggregate since'the new management took charge is about four thousand. Mrs. George Beach, who applied to the different lire companies in this city for assistance, has received so far, through Mr. Wm. Wood, engineer of the Columbia Fire Engine Company, two wagon loads of groceriis from two prominent merchants of this city and a sum of money collected from the mem? bers of that company. Those engaged in the repair of the Alexandria county roads have secured from the causeway connecting the Vir? ginia mainland with Analostan Island all the stone they required without pay? ing, asking permission or being molest? ed. Those Georgetown citizens most concerned have investigated the con? trol of the causeway and found that the commissioners have jurisdiction. It is estimated that several hundred dollars' worth of stone has been taken. About twelve o'clock Saturday night Watchman Henry at Messrs. William A. Smoot Co.'s wharf saw two men with a pushcart at the soapstone works, between Queen and Princess streets. He gave an alarm and the men fled. Upon an examination the cart was found to contain a chain and a block and tackle used at the work3 for the purpose of hoisting stone. Mr. Henry reported the matter at the station house and while there Wm. Taylor, an employee at Alphonso Arrington's sa? loon, appeared and stated that his em? ployer's pushcart had been stolen. The one found at the soapstone works proved to^be Arrington's, and it was turned over to him. A Household. Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharic. N.
