MosBY's MEN.-As sequel to the
reunion of the members of Col. John S.
Mosby's old command held in this ci y
January 10th last, which was the first
that had been held since the men dis
bandrd at Salem, at the closs of the
war, there will in the future be ON an
nual reunion. The first of these will
be held at Marshall, formerly Salem,
Fauquier county, to-day. Nearly all
the members OF the command from this
section of the country are expected and
good time will be had by the men
wandering over the old battle grounds,
which some have not visited since the
war. 1t was at and near Salem that the
men were gotten together for an affray,
as they never held together in a body
more than few days at time, always
disbanding after scrimmage, to be
called together again by Col. Mosby.
AS has heretofore been stated, the Col
onel will be unable to attend the re-
union. He expects to come to this city
from San Francisco next month.

RIoToUs PRoCEEDINGs.-Rosslyn was
the scene of an attempted murder and
riot among negro crap shooters about
halfpast six o'clock yesterday evening,
and as result John Jackson, alias
"Red Bill" and his brother, Richard
Jackson, both colored, are locked up
in the Georgetown police station. "Red
Bill" had been losing while playing
with negro named Johnson, and a row
had followed, when Richard Jackson, 8
brother of "Red Bill" stepped into the
crowd, and, it is alleged, drew re-
volyer and fired point blank at John
son. Several other men in the crowd
also had pistols and soon fusillade after
fusilade of shots were fired, but none,
it seems, took effect. The crowd soon
dispered, but the Jacksons followed
Johnson to the Aqueduct bridge.
Johnson seeing them in pursuit, at
tempted to run, but was soon over
hauled and came to stop when Rich
ard Jackson pointed his pistol at him.
1t is claimed that John jackson then
came up and with an oath drew razor
on Johnson. Several passes were made
and Johnson's coat was badly slit. Po-
licemen at the other end of the bridge
mad seen the fight and as soon as the
men walked out on the bridge, started
across to intercept them. They arrived
lust in time to save johnson from the
clutches of cred Bill'' and his brother,
as the former was doing his best 10

The Jackson men started to run back
into Virginia, but were outrun by the
officers, who took them into custody.
Richard Jackson drew his revolver
either with the intention of using it on
the policemen or throwing it over
board, but one of the policemen
wrenched it from the negroes hand. AT
ter a tussle the men were taken 10
Georgetown and sent to the station in
the patrol wagon, where cred Bill''
was charged with carrying razor and

A SIMPLE REMEDY.-Peopls in this
city whose fate it is to fight mosquitoes
during the prevalent sultry evenings
might try the following simple means
OF relief vouched for by an old lady
living on the banks of the Delaware :
She discards all screens and throws the
windows wide open at night. Aero 8
the open space of the window she
stretches piece of red ribbon about
two inches wide. "a mosquito" says
she, cannot be induced to pass that
ribbon. "Why it is so / do not know,
but know the natives of India take
this means of battling the vicious mos
quitoes. 1t works to perfection here
also.n

INA DESTITUTE CoNDITION.-Men-
ton was made yesterday of the fact
that q woman had been discovered in
an upper room of the building on the
northeast corner of King and Patrick
streets-sick and in destitute circum-
stances. Police officers made the nee
essary examination and found that
Mrs. E. A. Burns was there and in the
condition described. Mrs. Burns is an
Alexandria lady, her late husband at
one time being employed by the Messrs.
Aitcheson as a driver of one of their
wagons. She refused to become an in
mate of the aims house when it was
suggested to her, and some good peo-
pie of the city are ministering to her
wants. She had earned her living with
out much trouble until overtaken by
sickness.

pearance. When Turner and Harper,

as none Of the witnesses or plaintiffs
bad made their appearance, although

Mr.. HoLDEN's CoND1T1oN.-Mr. D..

critical illness was mentioned yester-
day, is still in an alarming condition,
and his friends are no little apprehen-

with what was at first supposed to be
an ordinary stomach trouble, but it
failed to yield to treatment, and during
Monday he became much worse, it
then being surmised that the real
trouble was an intestinal arrangement.
This morning physician from Wash
ington came here and had a consulta-

STILL HOLDS Irs OwN.-The back
bone of the torrid wave has not been
broken yet, and the Weather Bureau
reports that nothing but hot weather
can be seen. This morning broke
cloudy and cool, and these conditions
were hailed as precursors of a cool
wave which all hoped was in trGnsitat,
but when the sun began to climb the
mercury in the thermometer followed
the example, the clouds were dissi-
pated and the heat again became OPP
pressive. According to the latest
prophecy the "hot wave" has not yet
begun to exert its fervid influence, but
its front will advance east of the Allie
ghanies tomorrow, and the Middle
Atlantic States will have two days Of
very trying weather. In rear of tie

MORE CoMPLA1NTs.-Complaints of
the blocking of street crossings by
freight trains have heretofore come
from Fayette street; now q similar
complaint has arisen from Henry
street. 1t seems that the trouble is
caused by Chesapeake and Ohio freight
trains and is brought about in this wise !:
The locomotives attached to these trains
make Alexandria water station and
fill their tanks from the town at the in
tersection of Henry and Duke streets.
Southbound trains by this arrange
ment often stretch almost from Gamer
on to Duke street, thus blocking King,
Prince and Duke streets. This morn
ing people living on the other side of
Henry street and in Fairfax county
were kept on the west side of the track
some time while an iron houre was
taking water.

SWINDLED Our OF A YOKE OF OXEN.
AS stated yesterday James Harvey
Wells was arrested in this city yester-
day and later taken to Washington by
Detective Weldon on warrant issued
9 year ago for obtaining money under
false pretenses. The complainant is
Francis. L. Sherwood, farmer who
lives near Accokeek, Prince Georges
county, Md. Wells lived here and was
known as quack doctor who travelled
over the country. While on one of his
trips he met Sherwood, who was plow-
ing field with yoke of fine oxen.
Wells engaged the old man in CONVEX
eation and soon learned that ne was a
sufferer from dyspepsia. he guaran-
teed to cure him for small amount of
money, and as his nostrum seemed to
do the patient some good, the quack
gained the old mans confidence and
they became friends. One day Wells
and his brother Frank appeared at
Sherwood's place and offered to get him
a fine fast horse in trade for bis oxen.
Sherwood agreed to the proposition and
q few days later the brothers came
aglin and got the animals, and with
Sherwood started for Washington.
When they had reached the Washing
ton end of the Anacostia bridge Frank
took the cattle and promised to return
at the end of half an hour with the
horse. Sherwood and the other Wells
waited for double that length of time,
and finally James Wells went away, as
he said, to look for his brother. Moth
ing was seen of either man for some
time, 30 Sherwood swore out q warrant.
Detective Lacey traced the cattle to
Buzzard's Point, where he found that
both the oxen had been slaughtered.
The hides were also found. James
Wells returned to this city soon after
ward and ever since has been under
surveillance, the police hoping to cap
ture his brother, but the latter has so
far eluded the officers. On Monday
night Officers Beach and Belts went to
house where Wells generally put up
and knocked at the door. A female
voice was heard to say there's no one
here but the old man." "He's the man
we want" replied the officers. "Come
down and open the door," The woman
obeyed and Wells was found and lock-
