PAYMENT TENDERED.-Messrs. Ma
thaniel Wilson and T. l.. Holbrook.
representing the Haskin Wood Vulcan
izing Company of Washington, D. c..
which purchased the Pioneer Mills on
August 3rd last, and to whom the City
Council recently sold the ground rent
for 5000, were in the city to-day for
the purpose of paying the amount and
receiving deed for the property Ii
will be remembered that Council order
ed the Mayor to affix his signature to
the deed, but it appears that the pur-
chasers wanted the parties named by
Council January 2G, 1863, or their sue
cessors, to convey the property. The
act of Council creating the trust is as
follows:
"Whereas, the corporation is justly
indebted to the holders of its stocks or
bonds for interest, now past due, and
to owners Of certain of its stocks or
bonds which are now due and redeem
able for both principal and accrued in
terest, and whereas it is right and eX-
pedient that such disposition be made
of its available means as shall secure all
such claims, without preference or pri-
orty, be it therefore
''Resoircd. That all the real and per-
sonal property belonging to the City
Council of Alexandria, or in which it
has any interest or claim, be. and the
same is hereby pledged $50 far as can be
lawfully done, consistently with the
uses and purposes for which the same
was vested in the corporate authorities
of Alexandria,, to secure the payment
of the claims aforesaid, in the manner
aforesaid, and in order to render said
pledge available, that the same be con-
veyed to Reuben Johnston, Lewis Nc
kenzie, S. L. Beach and ID. l.. Smoot as
trustees, &c"
Mr. Johnston being dead, Mr. Smoot
in California, and the other TWO gentle
men sick, it seems that Council will
have to name other trustees if such are
necessary. As none Of the bonds or
stocks are now outstanding, and no part
OF the interest due for which this trust
was created, it seems that the trust
should close Capt. Bryant accepted q
general warranty title from the city for
the property purchased by him, and
what legislation is necessary will prob
ably be made when Council next meets.

Found DEAD.-on Monday after

FOUND DEAD.-On Monday after
noon the body Of Benjamin Thompson.
fifteen years of age, was found in the
woods in the neighborhood OF Lewins-
vile, Fairfax county, shot through the
head. Young Thompson, who YVES
living at the home of his grandfather,
Mr.. John Q. Larman, between Lewins-
vile and Scotch Run, went into the
woods shooting with friend. Benja-
min Torrison. After they had been
gone about an hour shot was heard
in the woods. Torrison returned to
his own home about an hour after the
shot was heard, but said nothing about
his companion. The next morning he
w.nt into the woods to set some rabbit
traps, as he said, and returning to the
Larman residence, told the family that
he had found Thompson's body in the
woods. He mad been shot through the
body at short range, the load entering
the centre OF the stomach from the 'front.'
telring a hole about two inches IN d.
ameter and lodging in the back. Thomp--
son 5 hands were filed with earth and
grass which he had torn UP from the
ground in his death struggle, and one
eye was very much blackened, and dis
figured, though whether from the fall
or from blow could not be determined.
The shot had entered the body from
horizontal plane and not at an angle as
though the gun had been held in
Thompsons hands. The first joint OF
the little finger on the right hand was
shot away, and the gun, which was
brcech-Ioading shotgun, was lying in
the bushes between thirty-fiye and forty
feet away pointing toward the body.
Torrisons account Of the affair was
that he had left Thompson soon after
entering the woods, and decided to re-
turn home. lie neither saw nor heard
oihis companion after that till, return
ing the next morning to look after his
traps, ne found the body. The coro-
ner's jury returned verdict of &C
cidental shooting with a gun in the
hands of the deceased. The body was
embalmed and removed to Georgetown,
where the funeral took place.

Fearful Floods

London, Oct. 17.-Reports OF damage by
Hoods continue to come from many different
parts OF Great Britain and Ireland. The
river: Ayr. in Yorkshire, has over1owed its
banks, inundating eighteen square miles In
the district of Pontarract. Many families
were compelled by the flood on Saturday to.
take refuge in the upper. stories OF their
houses, from which they afterward were
rescued by boats. Dozens Of houses unden.
mined by the water haye collapsed. Many
of the mines in the district are flooded. The
loss of stock is very great. At Castleford.
in Yorkshire, the sewers burst under the
strain of the great volume of water rushing
through them, and, as a result, the streets
We're flooded and became impossible. BUS
mess was Of course suspended and all pub
lie buildings were closed. The manchester
q Sheffield railroad to Rotheringham is
covered with three feet Of water.
The floods in Yorkshire are the most SeFi-
GUS that have ever occurred in that county
in the memory of the Oldest inhabitant.
Railay traffic has been completely diverted.
The damage to property is enormous. a
bridge at Selby on the York & Doncaster
railway has been destroyed by floods. Thus
sands of acres of land are submerged in
the BarnsIey district. and many people are
moving their effects from their homes. The
Hood at Leeds caused by the overflow of the
River Ayre is subsiding. The foods in Der
bysh1re are causing a large amount Of dam
age Many horses and cattle have been
drowned.
