THE ASSAULT ON AN OLD WOMAN BY AN
ALEXANDRIA JUsTICE.-YeSteTday' Alexandria
Gazette says: ''The case Of Justice Frank Love-
Joy, charged with having committed an assault
upon the old woman, Ann Mccain, is still the
subject of much talk. He is still at large and
is supposed to have left the city. The old wo-
man, who applied for the warrant, now says
the story Is not correct; that LoveJOy came to
her house and entered 1t through the window,
but that he did not assault her. The witnesses,
however, still maintain the correctness of their
story. as related yesterday. The old woman
was about 65 years OF age; that she had been
married three times, and was the mother Of chill
dren; that Lovejoy had been in the habit of
coming to her house, but when he came Mon
day night he was very drunk and she attempted
TO put him out. This, she says, was the cause
of the Scuf11e in which she received black eve:
that Lovejoy did not attempt TO choke her, and
that the colored people who testified yesterday
were prejudiced against him. The character Of
the old woman, upon whom the alleged attempt
was made, Is not above reprOach, and 1t Is sup-
posed by the friends of LovejOy that he had
been In the habit OF going to her house. but be-
ing drunk on Monday night his visit was not
acceptable, and hence the charge. 1t is said by
some that Lovejoy was in the city last night,
and that he intended to give himself up but
being informed by some one, by mista Ike, that
number OF colOreG men were approaching his
house, he left in hurry. Information received
here this evening says that Lovejoy was arrest
ed at Herndon this morning by some wood saw
yers, but having no warrant they turned him
loose, and the last seen of him he was going to-

Changing His Church.

Rev. Carl Bersch, lately pastor of the
German Protestant Church at Johns Hill,
near Newport. KY, was baptized into the
German Baptist Church, on Walnut street.
near Liberty, last Sunday evening.
Mr. Bersch preached the sermon him
self, in which he related his own expe-
rience and convictions. He stated that he
had announced his intentions of leaving
his Church only week previous, when,
after examining some children who were
to be confirmed, he stated to his astonished
people that he could proceed no further
being now fully persuaded that infant
baptism and confirmation had no founda
ton in the Bible, and consequently he was
compelled to resign.
Mr.. Bersch is the second minister who
has been baptized at this church, and the
event drew together larger congregation
than could find seats.
Revival meetings have been in progress
at this church for sometime, and the ordi
nance Of baptism has been administered
on four Sabbath evenings during the pas
six weeks.

FIGHT ON THE TARIFF.
There are indications of the question on
|hich the House Is dead-locked being am
ably settled. Mr.. Fernando Wood to-day
admitted propositions similar to McLane's
yesterdav-to read the journals of the

scharge the Committee on the Revision

Townshend made an elaborate explana-
pn of his action in wrongly referring the
III. He impugned the motives and actions
the Ways and Means Committee, which
hputation provoked severe denunciation
om Wood and Judge Kelly.
Blackburn is willing to accept Woods
Ioposition. A vote on the latter clause
the proposition will test the feeling OF
be House on the tariff question.
Uncompromising opposition on the Re-
nblican side to this attempt to unite the
democratic factions is the thing now more
ikely to hold the dead lock.
4 The feeling last night was bitter between
|ine Democratic factions, and the opposi-
zion tolRandall is as bitter as during the
t3peakership fight.
Blackburn upon the floor called the
Speaker traitor to his party and being
corrected by Coffroth gave the latter the
liz direct.
2:15 P. M.-The dead lock ended at o:15
p. M. by the adoption of McLane's resolu-
tion. Blackburn and his followers have not
made their point and the compromise is
almost complete defeat for them.
3P. M.-It was thought that the dead
lock was over, but call for reconsidera-
tion, onthe ground of misunderstanding
of McLane's resolution, has apparently
complicated matters as badly as ever.
