Human Fly Thrills Alexandria on River Excursion Night
A crowd of about 1000 in Alexandria watched Edward L. Allen known as the human fly scale the weather vane atop City Hall then descend after about eighteen minutes. He claimed past climbs on New York’s Flatiron and eyed the Washington Monument. Local officials and a star-studded parade of guests from Armour & Co and Alexandria firms joined a steamboat excursion on the Potomac aboard the Majestic, with Marshall to give remarks at a Knights of Columbus event and Holy Week services planned at St Marys Church assisted by leaders from Scottish Rite Masons.
