DEATH OF Mrs. TUBIA.-Mrs. Rox.
anna Tubia-wife of Mr.. Frank Tuba
who had been indisposed for some time,
died at her residence corner of King
and st. Assph streets, this morning.
The deceased was daughter of Mr..
William Mayhugh. A few weeks ago
she had an operation performed for q
malignant growth upon one of her
arms. Subsequently her child became
sick and the anxiety produced by its
sickness together with her apprehen-
sions as to her own condition brought
on indisposition which developed into
quinsy. Her death finally ensued from
sheer exhaustion. Mrs. Tubis had
many friends in Alexandria, and her
husband and others of the family
have the earnest sympathy of their
many acquaintances in the sorrow
which has overtaken them.

A CLOSE BARGA1N.-The city has at
last gotten rid of John Collins, the
tramp who refused to work and tore
up his clothes to keep off the chain gang.
He was kept on bread and water nearly
week, and yesterday he concluded ne
would leave the city forever if the au-
thorities would release him. Captain
Webster, strange as it may seem, pur.
chased pair of trousers, shirt, bread
and furnished him transportation out
OF the city for the moderate sum Of
twenty cents.

FALSE RUMoR.-The story told in
this city this morning to the effect that
during an alteration between two
brothers in West End yesterday evening
one shot the other and then attempted
to kill himself with the pistol, turns
out to have been greatly exaggerated.
The facts in the case, it is said, are !:
Two brothers, one of whom was under
the influence of liquor, became quarrel
some and finally separated. One OF
them subsequently, fired the pistol into
the air and cried out as though he had
attempted suicide. No one was hurt.
