A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-On Saturday
morning Mr.. G. Powell Hill, who re-
sides at 302 west Main street, met with
painful accident in the breaking of
both bones in his right leg just above
the ankle joint, and other bodily inju.
ries. Mr.. Hill was engaged in making
some purchases from country wagon
when a runaway horse attached to de-
livery wagon collided with the country
wagon with the result above stated.
Mr.. Hill was Immediately taken into
his home by kind friends and the bro
ken limb set by DR.. R. E. Franklin.
Mr.. Hill is resting as we'll as could be
expected under the circumstances, but
his suffering is very great. 1t was his
expectation to leave the city in few
days to spend the summer in Culpeper.
He will possibly be confined to his bed
for several months. But for the fact
that the horse collided at the same
time with the tree in front of Mr.. Hills
residence, he would probably have been
killed. The lives of citizens are in
great peril through the carelessness OF
drivers, who often leave their horses
united or unattended on the street.

THREW THE WOMEN OUT.-Some ex-
element was caused near the Fayette
street depot late yesterday evening by
a colored man throwing colored wo-
man out of a buggy. The woman was
uninjured, and was carried to the de-
pot, where she refused to give her
name, while the man, at rapid gait,
left the city by going out Alfred street,
followed by Policemen Lyles, Howson
and Wilkinson, who, however, did not
succeed in catching him. From all
that could be learned it seems the
man had come here with woman and
put up at house in the northern part
of the city. His wife heard of his con-
duct aud followed him. When she
reached the house where he and the
woman were secreted she jumped into
the buggy and drove off. When the
husband discovered what she had done
he followed her, and, as stated above,
threw her into the street and drove
back to Washington.

FIRE.-At twenty-five minutes past
three o'clock this morning the rear
part of the frame house on the south.
east corner of Queen and Fayette
streets, was found to be on fire. An
alarm was sounded and the fire depart
ment responded promptly. The south
ern end of the house, where the tire
originated, was unoccupied. but color
ed people were living in the front part,
and some trouble was experienced IN
awakening them. Before the flames
were subdued the house was almost
wrecked and the roofs of two adjoining
frame buildings were somewhat dam
aged. There was an insurance of 5000 on
the houses but the damage will exceed
that amount The building belonged
to Mr.. Mont. Cook, and he lives in one
which was saved. The fire was un-
douotedly of incendiary origin. The
fact that frebugs have been at work in
this city for some time has occasioned
no little apprehension in the communi.
W, and the authorities are doing all
they can to discover the guilty parties.
An attempt was made on Saturday
night to set on fire the Robert Portner
Brewery Companys plant. A fire in
the key shed was started by some one,
but the blaze was discovered by the
Waterman, Mr.. ?. Timberman, who
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
before much damage was done. There
is no doubt that the recent fires in this
city have been the work of an incen-
diary, who takes advantage of dark
ness to execute his deeds, as the fires
occurred after the electric lights were
extinguished.

The telegraph operator at Mallow,
three miles west of Alexandria, on the

suspiciously there, and that he thought
they intended to wreck an incoming

they expected to take q train. After
arriving at the depot the officers
were informed that while their services
were thought to be needed, it had been
learned from the telegraph operator at

In the event of fall meeting at the county

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

of front BIZ London was distinct disappoint-
ment to the bulls as it robs the market OF its
only support The selling by the arhitrage
houses started liquidations for home account
and the sales were heavier than for some time.
The further reduction in the treasury gold
reserve naturally revived talk about new
bond issue and the fours of 1925 fell to 1925
on transactions of 1922 900 at the board.
The weakness of government bonds added to
the prevailing uneasiness. The bears felt
highly encouraged over their successes of the
morning and were looking forward to the pop.
ulist convention to aid them in their work OF
depressing values The loss in prices during
the first hour was equal to y to 29s per cent
At IL o'clock the market was weak and fever:
