Local Notes.

Harry Bradley, white man about thir-
ty years of age, was found lying near Ten
ney's mill. on Water street. Saturday,
bleeding copiously from several stab
wounds. When brought to the station he
was as white as marble. 1t developed
through questioning that Bradley had been
attacked by Samuel Ford and Bruce War
rem with murderous intent. the men hav-
ing all gotten into a drunken alteration.
The ASSISTANTS were both captured. In
Ford's pocket was found e. knife, whose
blade had been broken in the attack. The
remaining portion was covered with blood
stains.
Bradley's wounds consist of deep cut
in the neck and a cash in the head. 1t
was thought this morning at the Elmer
Gency Hospital, where the man was car
ried, that his life would be the cost Of
Saturday nights row.
He would no doubt have bled to death
on Water street had not the police found
him when they did.
Bradley resides on Jefferson street, and
has wife and two children. All the par
ties were Intoxicated

Ford. charging them with assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. Ford is believed
to be the party directly responsible for
Bradley'S wounds.
Falls Church Road.
ne rallS Cnurcn road has been built
westward as far Ballston. This is about
the halfway point. There is a great hus-
tie along the lire now, and indications
point to no let up until the whole is COM
pleted. The Falls Church terminus will be
reached, 1t is thought, by the middle of
rext month. A few days ago, Tor the pur-
pose of carrying the freight necessary TO
the construction more easily, the Falls
Church people connected temporarily with
the pennsylvania company's Falls Church
extension. This coming TO the notice OF
the pennsylvania people, 4 gang of work
men was sent TO the spot and the connect
ing tracks torn up.
The Falls Church road (electric) will in
all probability absorb the passenger trade
from Falls Church and Intermediate sta
lions now being enjoyed by the steam cor
poration.
