Mr.. ARMsTRoNG's LITTLE BoY.-A
dispatch received here from Mr.. A. ".
Armstrong. who on Saturday took his
little boy to New York to subject him
to the Pasteur treatment, he having
been bitten by dog which, it is SAID j,
died of rabies, states that the little
fellow is we'll and bright. The state
ment that the dog died of rabies is di I.
credited by some of the city physicians
who think that the autopsy showed
rather that the dog died of indigestion.
Capt. Mushbach, the owner of the dog,
came on from Richmond as soon as be
heard of the affair, and he, too, thinks
the dog died of other cause than rab-
bes and so telegraphed Mr.. Armstrong.
For his own satisfaction and to relieve
the anxiety of the child's parents as
much as possible, Capt. NJ. has Sc
cured portions of the dogs brain and
spinal cord with which to have rabbit
inoccuated so as to determine definite
" the cause of the animals death.
Capt. Mushbach, as might be expected,
exceedingly regrets the occurrence.
Prayers were said in some of the
churches yesterday for the child.

Saturday afternoon Of an unusually
solemn and impressive funeral, that of
Mr. A. w. Wallis and his wife, Mrs.
Eliza Wallis, of Stafford, whose pas
sage over the river of death together,

circumstance that added to the solem-
nifty of this occasion was the fact that

was corpse at her home awaiting
burial Sunday afternoon. The remains
OF the deceased were followed to the
city cemetery by large concourse of

MUCH MAGNIFIED.-The following
opDeared in Wilmington paper this
morning
The facts of desperate attempt OF
assault have just come to light. On Sat-
urdav Miss Emma Carpenter, of Fau-
opier, came to this city to visit her
brother, who lives in the county several
miles out of the corporation limits She
entered cab driven by Arthur Smith,
a r5lored man, who drove her to lone
" road and there attempted an assault.
Her screams attracted the attention of
persons who happened to be in the vi
unity. and Smith was arrested and taken
,o.lhe Police Court, where he was fined
$3.50. The law in Alexandria county
app!cable to such cases as this is very
lax
The facts in this case are as follows {:
coored woman named Carpenter
reached this city Friday night Oh Mid
land train from Rappahannock county.
Upon alighting from the car she Inform
ed some people that she was stranger
in the city and desired to find the family
.ofAcolored man bearing her own name.
Arthur Smith, colored, driver of a nix
approached and said that he knew the
house in which the Carpenters lived aud
hustled her into his vehicle aud drove
oil After having ratified through The
streets for some time the woman said he
stopped in an out-of-the-way locality,
opeucd the door and catching hold of
aer said, Come, here we are; let's take
Wtl together The woman, sus-
peet.ne that Smiths intentions were dis
bouorable, demanded that he put her
back in the vehicle and return her to the
depot. which, after some parley, Smith
reluctantly proceeded TO do Upon
reaching the corner of Cameron and
Henry streets his passenger, seeing the
railroad track and the local depot il
square oil, supposed she was close to
tie Midland depot, and demanded that
the driver put her out, which Smith
finally did. When the woman had
alighted she told her adventure to seV-
eral persons who were standing by ana
later she swore out warrant against
Smith for his behavior toward her.
The defendant was drunk when arrest
ed and in his statement before the Pc
lice Court he gave anything but sat
isfactory answer to the woman's charge.
He was fined 800 and the costs of the
warrant for drunkenness and for carry
inc the woman TO strange neighbor-
hood and not to the house she desired
to reach. Smith has been before the
Police Court ON other occasions for
similar otlenses.

YEsrEEDAY.-A fairer, brighter or
milder mid-winter Sunday than yester-
day is not recalled by the Oldest inhabi
tants and the day was generally enjoy
ed by everyone. The sun rose bright
and shone so throughout the day, while
the sky was unlocked by single cloud.
The temperature was more like that
of April than January and made heavy
wraps uncomfortable. The city was
visited by numbers of strangers and
many persons were on the streets all
day. The churches were all we'll at
tended, services being conducted by the
resident clergy except at St. Paul's,
where Rev. Dr. Crawford, of the Theo-
logical Seminary, officiated The mig hit
was almost as light as the day, the
moon shining brightly till early this
morning, while the temperature re-
manned mild.

HUNTING FOR BREAKFAsT.-Some
persons, doubtless contemplating a
breadless breakfast for to-day embraced
a favorable opportunity last night and
carefully drew the screws from the
hinges of the large bread box which

store, on upper King street, emptied
the box of some thirty loaves Of bread,
carefully replaced the lid of the box
and doubtless enjoyed hearty meal

Office to-day and stated that his step
daughters infant child died yesterday
morning and it would become incum--
bent upon the city to pay the funeral
expenses. He further said the father
of the child was named Edward Ander-
son, that he was fully able to pay the
expenses of interment, but had refused
to do so. 4 warrant was issued for
the arrest of Anderson, and he was
later in the day brought into the Police
Court and made to pay the funeral ex-
penses. The authorities will in future
endeavor to ascertain the paternity of
all deceased colored children whom the
city is called upon to bury, and when
found, those responsible for their ad-
vent into this world will be compelled
to pay for their exit from it,
