Property Withdrawn.

The large and handsome store now
occupied by Mr.. Robert w. French, Az
and 419 King street, was offered fol
sale by Mr., Robert Elliott, for the
owner, at ~ O'Clock today. 1t wa:
withdrawn on a bid of So, 800. This
property was advertised for sale several
weeks ago, but was withdrawn at that
time also. 1t was supposed then that
this large double store would have
brought 5000. French's bookstore is
about the oldest Alexandria institution,
it having been established in the latter
part of the fortes of the last century by
the late Geo. L. French in a frame
house on King street, near Washington,
on the site of the jewelry store now oc-
cupied by Hopkins Bros. Mr.. French
conducted business there for several
years when he removed to what was
then known as No 1O4 King street,
between Royal and Pitt. About a
third of a century ago he erected the
building advertised for sale today and
moved his stock into it, conducting
business there until his death in 1890.
His son. Mr.. r. W. French, succeeded
him. The site of this store was we ars
ago occupied by building in which the
late James Entwisle conducted the
book and stationery business. In the
early part of 1862 fire destroyed Sarepta
Hall and several buildings adjoining on
the west, including the old bookstore,
and during war times a temporary frame
structure erected on its site was used at
times as dime museum, ice cream
saloon and clothing house. Another
fire in the early part of the year OF
1866 burned over the same area. Several
wears after the close of hostilities Mr..
French demolished the old building
and erected the present double store.
The French bookstore, so long resort
to numbers now dead, brings to mind to
many now living "reminiscences Of by-gone
DAYS and recolections of citizens who
have long since joined the great ma
;ority. Ii was the wont of number
of well-known Alexandrians in by-gone
wears to gather at this place, especially
during the evening, and exchange
views concerning events past, present
and to come. These were very pleasant
gatherings and the participants in the
discussions greatly enjoyed each other
society. Among the number may be
mentioned Drs. w. b. Gregory and
r.. G. Powell, and Messrs. John West,
Geo. w. Rock, Jas, r. Smoot J. II.
d. Smoot, Elijah Merchant, W. d.
Stewart and James NJ. Steuart, all since
deceased. There are but few Of the
company now in the land of the living
and most of them are nearing the enc
of life's Journey.

Shot in a Saloon.

A difficulty occurred in A. McMahon $
saloon. northwest corner of Cameron and
Fayette streets, last night about nine
o'clock, during which Henry Stephens,
colored, was shot in the shoulder by
Clarence Anderson, also colored. From
what was reported to the police, it seems
that the two men met in the saloon when
Stevens asked Anderson to join him in
drinking. The latter declined rather
abruptly, saying "No, I'll not drink
with you; but take thatv' at the same
time drawing a pistol and firing it at
Stevens. Anderson then fed, and Stew
ems went to a physician and had The
ball removed. Later he continued drink
ing. The police are looking for Ander-
