Row AT HARD CoRNER.-Between
ten and eleven o'clock last night dis
tlrhance occurred in q saloon on north
Fairfax street near the W. & 0. depot.
The row was between some white and
colored men, and when Officers Grady
and Jones arrived on the scene quite a
crowd had gathered near the corner OF
Princess and Fairfax streets. 1t was
said one of the party had q razor, but
the officers searched the man and
found no such weapon on his person.
OF course, the row ceased when the
police appeared, but while the crowd
was on the corner some one threw q
stone and struck white man named
Davis on the head, knocking him down.
/. was impossible to identify the as
salant in the crowd, which scattered
when the officers blew their whistles
for assistance. The injured man was
conducted to the station house, where
his wound was dressed. a colored
man was arrested on suspicion of hav-
ing thrown the stone, but he protested
his innocence in the Police Court this
morning, and was discharged, there be-
iug no evidence against him.

For CoNGREss.-The Washington
correspondent ofthe Richmond Dispatch

For CONGRESS- The Washington
cor-cspondent ofthe Richmond Dispatch
say
@ 7ublicans from the Sth district of
yrqoja. who have been heard 10 ex-
pr. opinions, say that their party will
have straishtout candidate for Cen
grc,- in the Sth this year, and nearly
aIfot hem seem to think eX-Postmas
Ter Parl, Agnew, of Alexandria. will be
ta nan. He can get the nomination.
il aa will take it, they declare, and
there IS 4 growing belief that he can be
Induced to accept. If there is any flu
sion the pops will this time have to
come over to the republicans. At the
las election for congressman the re-
puhlicans in the district kept off the
track, but B.. &. Turner, the populist
candidate, did not make nearly as
strong race as Mr., Agnew did several
wears ago against the late Gen. w. H. F.
Lee. Turner was badly distanced by
Meredith. If the pops will not en-
dorse the republican candidate, but per-
sist in running man Of their own, 1t
means a walk-over for the democratic
candidate with three tickets in the field.
Should Mr.. Agnew decline to be can
didate, it is said that Col. Pat McCaull
who has established a residence within
the past gear in the Sth district, will be
most likely the candidate of the repub-
Leans.
