ANOTHER THIEF CAUGHT.-The po-
lice were notified to-day that sundry
articles had been stolen from the rooms
of boarders in st. Johns Academy
school building, and a negro named
Charles Wilson, about eighteen years
of age, was suspected. Officer James
Griffin took charge of the case and soon
had Wilson in charge. Later he pro-
cured from Capt Sweeney a list of the
articles which had been stolen. They
embraced two watches, a chain and
locket, finger ring, razor, sleeve buttons,
a silver half dollar and a medal made
from a gold dollar. About noon all the
articles save one of the sleeve buttons
and the medal had been recovered.
The plumber had been sold to different
colored acquaintance of the thief.

at the Mount Vernon Hotel in Wash

down to the office, took a seat near the
window, and for some time looked out
upon the storm which swept the street,
After a while he moved his chair and
took a seat near the middle of the office.
His quietude there attracted no atten-
ton until his head was seen TO be
thrown back and his mouth open, when
it was found that he was dead. The
coroner made an investigation and GER
tilted heart disease as the cause Of
death. The deceased vas 4 graduate

MOUNT VERNON AvENUE.-After the
adjournment of the Board of Super
vlsors of the county this afternoon a
meeting of citizens of Alexandria city
and county was held in the interest of
Mount Vernon Avenue, which seems to
be IN the eve of construction on a small
scale at least. Several proposed routes
of entrance into this city were discuss
ed one TO construct the new road from
ltoSslyn TO Poor's House lane. enlarge
the latter and TO 90 meet with Wash
ington street extended another to run
the avenue through North West Alex
andria, striking the city ut about PEN
dleton street, and another to enter
King street at Hooh7s run. The plan
is then to reach the bridge of the cleo
trio road ove Hunting creek through
Washington street and thence on TO
Mount Vernon. Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow
spoke earnestly in support Of the
scheme, as did also Mr.. j. f. Clements
and others, each portraying the bene-
fits that would ensue to both the city
and county should the thoroughfare he
built. Mr.. Harlow was more favorablr
impressed with the route which wOul,l
bring the road TO Poor's House lane
and into Washington street extended.
Col. Sickles exhibited a map of the pre-
posed Mt. Vernon Avenue. A general
interchange of opinion followed. Mr.,
J. +. Clements introduced a resolution
which was adopted empowering the
Board of Supervisors to call OH the
Secretary of War and urge him to mac
adamize and widen the portion Of the
road which shall run through the gov
eminent reservation at Arlington. On
motion Mr.. Clements was added. 1t
was estimated that this road would
cost about 800. The idea is TO take
one of the routes surveyed by the gcv-
eminent for Mount Vernon Avenue
and to build a road on a much smaller
scale than was contemplated by the
original projectors of that thoroughfare.
Several property owners in the county
signilied their desire to promote the
building of the road in any way they
could. 1t was finally decided to apply
to the Judge of the County Court to
appoint viewers for the condemnation
of land for the purpose of the e road.
The purpose of the projectors is to con-
form as closely as possible to the route
of the Mount Vernon Avenue Associa-
ton.

RENcouNTRE.-A personal difficulty
occurred at the old Court House this
morning during the meeting Of the
county Board of Supervisors between
two of the members. 1t appears that
one of the members had recently
spoken in terms of the other which the
latter considered dcrogatory, and this
morning during the meeting question
ed the former concerning the matter.
A satisfactory explanation not being
given, the member denounced the one
who had made the remarks complained
of. whereupon the %rencounter took
place, but before either had been much
hurt they were separated by others
present, no., however, before one had
received a hard blow and the other n
scratched face.

THE STOLEN CuTLERY.-As was
stated yesterday, Mat. Williams was
arrested Sunday for disposing of cutie
ry and for being unable or unwilling to
state how he came in possession of the
same. He protested when placed I'M
der arrest that he had not stolen the
articles, but would give no information
as to who had. Several dozen knives,
mostly carvers, were captured, and
Lieutenant Smith, who detected and
worked the a 5 up, ascertained that
others 4 v Williams were engaged in
the questionable proceedings. War
rants were accordingly issued for the
arrest of Harrie Poss, S. Driefus, James
Cook and James Richards, who were
charged with being confederates, in
that they were engaged with Williams
in selling the cutlery. Lieut.. Smith,
who had in the meantime learned of
the robbery of a cutlery house in Wash
ington, proceeded to that city with
specimens. To day Mr.. F. r. Hoover,
of the firm of Hutchinson Bros, Wash
ington, came to this city, identified the
articles and claimed they had been
stolen from his store. The robbery hav-
ing been committed in Washington,
the accused will be turned over to the
authorities of that city where they will
be tried. Poss, Richards, Driefus and
Williams have been arrested, but Cook
is in Charlottesville, where he viii
doubtless he secured.
This evening, after an examination. the
Mayor discharged Williams, Richards and
P0SS, and held Drcifus.
