evening on business. AT about o'clock
this morning he came into the U. S. Hotel

scented the appearance of having run against
some hard substance. Mr.. Bray had occa-
sion to be out rather late, and was walking
up G street to his hotel, when he was hit
on the head and laid out. When he re-
covered his senses be was sitting on box
near the shop of tonsorial artist and was
bleeding from the nose. He had not been
robbed and was sober, and the officers are
at a loss to account for the affair.
