News.
The large four-masted schooner John W.
Ellwell is several days overdue here, with
a cargo of 1,612 tons of ice for the Amer
ican Ice Company, and some fears for her
safety are felt. The Ellwell sailed from the
Kennebec river August 7, and under ordi
nary circumstances should have been In
port here a week ago. The schooners Mer
vin. Bayard, Barnes and other vessels
which sailed from Maine about the same
time have arrived here and unloaded their
cargoes and gone away. They all made
quick trips down the coast, and why the
Ellwell should not have done so cannot be
understood. Since leaving port her con
signees here have had no tidings of her.
The supply of fish received by the dealers
at the 11th street wharf fish market this
morning from the fisheries in the lower
Chesapeake bay was not large, and but few
fish from the river nets were on sale. The

mackerel, 8 to 10c. per pound; rock, pan, 8
to 10c. per pound; rock, boiling, 12^ to 15c.

to 50c. each: carp, 2f>c. each, and catfish

sold this morning at 11.50 to $2 per barrel.
They are scarce and In demand.
There is a full supply of watermelons on
hand at the oyster wharf, and the demand
being light, prices are still down low. About
fifteen vessels were lying at the wharf thi3
morning, with about 60,000 melons aboard,
and of this number about 9,000 have ar
rived since yesterday. Selected melons
sold this morning sit. $10 to $15, primes at
fi to $6 and culls 50c. to $2 per hundred.

With the return of cooler weather the fish
will come out of the creeks Into the river.
The fires have been started in the fur
naces of the new glass works on the river
shore Just above Alexandria, and work will
begin there next week.
The rebuilding of Miller's new scoop

pletion, and the dredge will go Into ser

It is stated that the first cargo of oysters

Edna and Earl Is at the boat house at the
foot of 7th street southwest, being rebuilt.
Her small cabin has been removed and a
much larger one put on, and other improve
ments are being made in the boat.
When the birds come on the river this
fall they will have a hard time finding
something to eat. Usually the river flats
on the Maryland side ~ about Shepherd's
landing and opposite Alexandria are cov
ered with a thick growth of wild oats, on
which the birds live. This year the patches
of the oats are scattered and very thin ex
cept In Hunting creek below Alexandria.

Thursday night n special session of the
town council of this place was held for
the purpose of taking some action on a
communication received by the local au
thorities from officials of the City and
Suburban Electric Railway Company of
Washington In relation to a proposed ex

officials of this company ask "that there
be granted to this company, its successors
or assigns, the right to enter and pass
through the town of LAurel, laying such
tracks and erecting such other material
as may be necessary for the operation o^t
a railroad from Washington to Baltimore.
In resnonse to this communication the
clerk of "the council has been Instructed to
write to the officials of the road asking
them to furnish information as to the width
of the tracks, the width of roadway on
each side, and also the width of the side
walks bordering the roadway. The com
pany is also asked to forward a profile
map showing the grade at street crossings
and also information as to the matter of
drainage.
Permission similar to that asked for by

making cuts and fills from this point to
the terminus of -he present suburban road
