The Washington correspondent OF the Bal

for an appointment in one of the departments
in Washington, who had passed very credl-
table examination, was taken to the insane asy-
lum, as it was discovered that his mind had be-

cause Of his present sad condition.

MANASSAS, VA, Aug. l5-Our village was
startled this p. ID. by rumors Of homicide
having occurred on the Centreville road near

vantage and beat Barbour over the head Sc
verely with q stick This p. III. they met for
the first time, each of them driving 4 two horse
team. Both leaped from their seats, and
Thomas was coming toward Barbour with i
knife. Barbour picked up piece of rail and
struck Thomas so severe blow that Ii broke
open his skull, killing him instantly. Barbour
witnesses we're near by, and the evidence Is
not clear on this point. Barbour made no at
tempt to escape but came to the village and
gave himself up, and has been committed to
iail to await an examination. Both parties had
an excellent character up to the date OF their
