ALEXANDRIA HAPPENINGS.

Justice Thompson in the mayors court
yesterday morning heard the case OF VIII
liam B. Hayden, the steamboat engineer
of this city, who, representing himself as
port warden, obtained SO from Capt Ran
dolph, OF the schooner c. Mouss PerOt,
and $4 from Capt Andrew KetchGm, OF
the schooner Jennie Middleton.
Hayden denied having represented him
self as port warden, and claimed that ne
had only inspected the vessel as the law
allows when the captain wishes it. 4
receipt signed by Hayden as port warden
was produced in court, and witnesses swOre
to seeing Hayden sign it. AS there seems to
be no law on the Virginia statute books
exactly covering the case, the justice held
that Hayden was guilty OF petit larceny and
fined him SO and costs. Besides this he
must return the money to the captains of
the vessels.

ASSAULTED THE CONDUCTOR.
Andrew Tenny n Negro Tough, Used
Heavy Club to Do 1t.


Il Heavy Club TO Do 1t.
Andrew Teuny, burly negro, committed
a bruta assault upon William H Hardy,
conductor of cable train No. 6, of the
Fourteenth street lire, at the corner OF
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue
north west q few minutes before midnight
After Tenny had boarded the car he turned
over the back of the seat in front OF him
and placed his feet upon the seat.
Conductor Hardy approached the fellow
and informed him it was against the rules
to put feet upon the seats. The negro, who
appeared to be in a fighting mood, de-
clined in a surly tone to obey the con-
ductor's request. Mr.. Hardy repeated his
injunction several times to Teuny, but the
latter only became the more abusive.
When the train reached Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue 1t came to
stop, and passenger sitting behind Penny
asked him why he did not do as the
conductor had requested him. This inter
ference, though i'll q polite manner, ired
the negro, aud he made an onslaught upon
the passenger and chased him through
the car.
The conductor and gripman then ap-
preached TeuDy and asked him to desist.
instead OF doing so he raised heavy club
with which he was armed and dealt Con-
ductor Hardy a terrific blow across the
side OF his face. Before he could assault the
gripman Policeman Mcmahon, who hap
pened to be on the car, came backa Ind pla ced
the assailant under arrest.
The prisoner was taken to the Twelfth
street station and locked up. He gave his
age as twenty-six years and his occupation
as laborer. The5charge against Tenny is
assault and battery.
Conductor H.aHardy, after completing the
trip, went to his home, No. 292S Fifteenth
street, northwest. His injury is OF an ex
tremely painful nature
