OUTRAGEOUS ROBBERY AND AssAULT.-A
colored man, whose name has not trans
plred, was committed to the Rockville jail,
Saturday, on the charge of committing an
outrageous assault and robbery at the house
Of Mrs. Farrell, on the Conduit road, near
Cabin John bridge. From the statement Of
Mrs. Farrell It appears that the accused
came TO her house armed with club, and,
taking hold of her arm, demanded money
and clothing. She gave him what money
she had at the time, and such articles Of
clothing as he demanded, the scoundrel
forcing her to open all the closets and chests
In the house for his inspection. Finally,
under some prctence OF going into another
room, to get package Of money, she
slipped out OF the house, and gave such
loud alarm that tho nelghbors at once came
to her assistance, when the negro fed, cross
Ing Cabin John bridge and disappearing In
the woods. The neighbors turned out en-
mdsss, and soon captured him, not, however,
before he made desperate resistance.

Lodge Of the Order OF Odd Fellows, which
convened this year In San Francisco.
Among other curiositics brought back by

The RUMoR current on tho streets this
morning that an attempt had been made last
night to take Henry Church, the man
Mr.. Browns little daughter on Wednesday
morning last, out Of jail and lynch him, was
without any foundation In fact. Between Q
and 10 o'clock last night three unknown
men did knock at the jail door, but Mr..
Hudgins, the turnkey, would not open Il,
and when they asked 10 SEQ Church the
sheriff, who happened to be there at the
time, went out through the door Of his pri-
vate residence and informed them that they
could not see the prisoner at that hour.
They then left Immediately. The condition

rible indeed, and her father says that he be-
lleves knife was used by the perpetrator Of
the outrage.
Since receiving tho Gazette containing the
above, We have report from Alexandria
that the poor little girl, after intense suffer-
ing, died on Saturday afternoon. There Ia
great desire In Alexandria to lynch her
ravishsr, but the Jail Is kept well guarded.
n there Is slow torture this side Of perdl-
ton that could give the most exquisite
agony, II ought to be applied in this case.

A CHOICE BIT OF SCANDAL FOR WASHING
ToN.-There Is considerable talk Just now In
Washington circles about an dtdirs glamour
between certain young gentleman con-
nected with one of the foreign legations here
aud certain colored young lady, who Is de-
scribed as extremely beautiful and attractive.
The young gentleman, the story goes, be-
came so completely bcwitched that he es.
corted the lady to public places, and was not
only seen promenading with her on the
streets, but even In her company at the
theatre. The lady, 1t seems, bears go little
trace of her African origin that unless very
closely scanned she would pass for n white;
hence the ease with which she gained ad-
mission to the theatre undetected. You have
heard ofthe colored gentlemen who smuggled
themselves into the National theatre here
few weeks ago and were compelled 10 leave
on being discovered. Well, It turns out that
the trio had another object In that visit to
the theatre than the one generally assigned.
They went there as much for the purpose OF
"spotting" the beautiful young colored lady
In the company of her distinguished adj
mlrer as of testing their right to admission
on white quality. The young lady was there
that very night, aud the circumstances be-
came known to great many respectable
white ladies who were acquainted with the
gentleman accompanying her. The next
morning the affair was In the mouths of all the
gosslps, male and female, and the sensation
that resulted was SO unpleasant to the gen.
tleman who constituted the hero of the scan
dal that he fed from this city to Now York
for protection. Altogether 1t is about the
largest social scandal Of the season. Wash.
