LOCAL BREVITIES.

Mr.. Thomas Williams, son of tie
late Robert Williams, died to-day at his
home on Wolfe street.
Nothing was done to-day looking to-
ward securing a new trial for Albert
Hawkins, the colored boy who was yes
terday sentenced to be hanged for an
attempted assault on white girl.
A colored man named Noble, driv-
er for William A. Smoot & Co., was
yesterday afternoon painfully injured
by q cart running over his breast. He
fell from his seat and before the horse
could be stopped the cart passed over
him. He was picked up and taken to
his home, where he was given proper
attention.
Judge Kimball, in the Police Court in Wash
ington yesterday morning, made new de.
parture and adopted in the cases of Sam Gaines
and James Nightingale, two colored boys, the
Alexandria plan of requiring the parents to
whip the offending urehins. This the par
ents agreed to do and the boys were relcas-
ed on personal recagnizsDces.
Mr.. Oliver P. Angelo has been appointed a
special policeman at the Gem Theatre.

STILL at notwithstanding the
denial in yesterdays GAZETTE of the
broad statements in Washington papers
to the effect that this city is in a fer
ment of excitement over the negro
Hawkips's crime in the county, there
is a disposition on the part of center
prisiugn journalists in that city to
@'stick to what they said first" The
following from one of the papers refer.
red to is specimen
awhile the jury was out yesterday
and It looked as if the full penalty of
the law might not be imposed on Haw-
kiBs, threats of lynching were heard all
over the courtroom, from men ofpromi-
nence in the county, whom the test
mony of little Sadie Sherier in detailing
the assault upon her had worked up to
the highest pitch, and there is hardly
any doubt but that these threats would
have been made good had not the sem
tence of death been imposed"
The fact is no such scene took place,
nor were any threats made. The tran
guilty of the court room at the time
was noticeable, and there was not the
slightest thing done or said to have
given color to the statement made
above.

HALLowE'EN-Tod day is Halloween,
around which so many sentimental as
sociations are gathered. 1t has always
been the occasion of certain popular
usages in Christian countries, such as
the performances of spells by young
people to discover their future partners
for life and certain freside revelries, as
cracking nuts aud ducking for ap-
Piles. Halloween is superstitiously
thought to be night when witches.
devils and other mischief making be-
ings are all abroad on their baneful
midnight errands. Particularly the
fairies on that night are said to hold a
grand anniversary. Some of the young
or generation hereabouts keep their
elders posted of the occasion by re-
minding them of it in very abrupt
ways. The weather, however, from
present indications, may make tonight
an exception.

The CORPORATION ATTORNEYS
OPINIoNs.-In the matter before Coun-
Gil growing out of the refusal of Capt.
Mushbach to pay sewer tax assessed
against him for the use of the sewer
running down Fayette alley, Common
wealth's Attorney Brent has rendered
an opinion. He holds that the city
owns the alley and the sewer and that
if Capt. Mushbach wants to use the
sewer he must pay for its use or discon-
nect-the matter is optional with him.
Mr.. Brent advises the city that in order
to avert litigation to direct the City
Engineer to disconnect all private sew
ers whose overs refuse to pay for the
use of sewers emptying into city sew
ers.
Mr.. S. G. Brent, Corporation Attor-
ney, has sent to Mr.. John II. Strider,
chairman of the committee on public
property of the City Council, an opinion
concerning resolution passed by
Council on the 22d instant directing the
City Engineer to survey and lay off
enough ground on the southern end of
the court house square on which to
erect an engine house for the Hydrau-
lion Company. MIR. Brent is clearly of
opinion, Notwithstanding the protests
of the county authorities, that the city
has a perfect right to use the ground
for the purpose referred to. He refers
to the fact that the court house and Jail
property were conveyed by the Congress
of the United States to the Governor of
Virginia and his successors for the use
of the county and corporation of Alex
andria forever. Neither the act of
Congress or the deed conveying the
property prescribes aehat use the prop
erty she'll be put to. This decision is
the common-sense view most people
took of the issue between the city and
county. The latter has had the exclu-
sive use of the property for about
twenty. two years, or since the rebuild
ing of the City Hall, save on two days
in year when a room in the basement
is used for an election booth. Should
the city at any time demand the use OF
half of the building and grounds it
would have the best arguments upon
which to substantiate and enforce the
claim.
