Under the^ auspices of the Ladles'
Memorial Association the annual ex¬
ercises In memory, of the Southern
soldier dead, the remains of 30,000 of
whom rest in beautiful Old Blandford
Cemetery, were held this afternoon.
They were simple In character, but
impressive. All business in the city
was closed, during the afternoon In
respect to the day and its sacred ob¬
servance, and many thousands of peo¬
ple, bearing wreaths and flowers and
Confederate
went to the ceme¬
tery to pay their tribute. The crowd
was composed In largo measure of
women, whose presence added greatly
to the beauty, and attractiveness of
the scene Owing to the lateness of
the soason, there was a greater pro¬
fusion of flowors than usual this year,
and no Boldlers' square, containing
graves of known or unknown dead,
was neglected In their distribution.
Parade of Veteran»,
The line of parade in honor' of the
day was formod on Sycamore, Tabb
and Bollingbrook Streets, and the
march was up Sycamore to Wythe
Street, where the veterans took cars
to the cemctefy, where they again
formed In line and marched to Memo¬
rial Hill, on the summit of whloh the
exercises were held.. The organiza¬
tions In the parade were uniformed

and guests, A. P. Hill Camp, Sons of

The veterans turned out with full
ranks, and the parade was a striking
feature of the day.
The exercises were conducted from

Fifty-Cent Rate Asked by Wash¬
OneWay Fare.
In The Tlmes-Dlspatch

stated
yesterday, a petition has been filed by
the Washington-Southern Railway be¬
fore the Interstate Commerce Com¬
mission, asking permission to be al¬
lowed to charge a faro of 50 cents
bAtween' Alexandria and Washington.
A technical error was made In refer¬
ring to the 50-cent fare as a "terminal
charge." since 25 centB of the amount
Is for fare at 3 conts a mile (the Inter¬
state rate), and 25 cents Is for termi¬
nal charge, making a total of 50 cents
Trafllo Manager Warron P. Taylor

work out Just as outlined in The
Times-Dispatch, making a faro of $3.20
to those passengers who buy tickets
to Alexandria and then pay the traJiv
rate Into Washington, na
compared
with the present straight rato of $3.50
between thts city and Washington. In
this way, as stated yesterday, the road

cision of the Supreme Court that It is
not entitled to a 8-cont rate, provid¬

Commission grants the petition.

Richmond and Washington, or between
othjr places en routo, or mlleago
books or commutation rates, will not
be affocted. The orio way Interstate
rate of $3.60 from this city to Wash¬
