The .True" Version.

An enterprising newspaper man hcin
Ohio was in this city a few day ago 10
the purpose of gathering some war data
for the paper he represented. Upon his
return home.h printed what he called
sThe True Version of the Tragedy 1.-THE
Marshall House" In his description
of that event he observed that many
have undertaken to describe the shooting
of Colonel Ellsworth and the subsequent
killing of James I. Jackson by the
Zouaves, but that having visited the
scene and obtained the correct inforna-
ton he was prepared to correct previous
history and describe the dual tragedy as
it actually occurred. After telling of
Jacks IN being in bed at the time
Colonel Ellsworth entered the Marshall
House, the writer proceeds to describe
the shooting of the colonel. Sergeant
Boston Corbett," he says, "afler Els
worth was shot, aimed his gun at jackson
and sent ball into his head This
will be news to the entire country, as 1t
has heretofore been supposed that
Corporal Brownell shot Jackson and that
Corbett killed John Wilkes Boothe four
wear later.

Brutal Act of a Husband.

Mrs. Elise Hart is at the Alexandria
Hospital, from the efforts of a beating
received at the hands Of her husband.
Harry Hart, who is still at liberty. The
woman's left eye is so badly injured that
she may lose the sight of it. Her nose S
broken and her head cut. The assault
occurred Tuesday night in the loft of the
barn of Mr.. J. A. T. Marstella, at st.
Elmo, in the county, where the couple
were temporarily making their home.
The woman is'a native of BlacksburC,
Va. and she and her husband had recent
" tramped from Danville, at which place
they were married about a year ago by
an Episcopal clergyman named Hall.
On the night of October 4 the couple
came to Mr.. Marstella's home and APP
piled for nights lodging. The rain was
falling in torrents. They being strangers,
Mrs. Marstella refused them admission
to her home. The couple made such a
pathetic appeal however, that Mrs.
Marstella granted them permission to
sleep in the barn, The cause OF the
trouble between the man and woman
arose from the husband demanding that
his wife ask Mrs. Marstella for 80 cents
for doing some work. When she refused
he beat her into insensibility..

Sunday Visitors.

The fair weather of yesterday and the
crisp northwest breeze brought many
visitors to the city, most of whom were
Grand Army men, who spent most of
the day exploring the city and seeking
localities they had not gazed on for two
score years. There were many ladies
among the strangers. The intersection
of Prince and Washington streets was
the assembling spot for nearly all who
were in the city, while Christ Church
and the Braddock House had their at
fractions for many. A small percentage
of the visitors had evidently told
apocryphal war stories until they believed
them themselves. One veteran in a
conversation with some Alexandrians
related voluminous war record. One
of his thrilling experiences, he said, was
when he was color-sergeant at the battle
of Bunker Hill He told his hearers he
had the flag he carried on that occasion.
1t had been split into ribbons by bullets.
The electric trains brought many men,
Ders of the Grand Army with their wives
and children here again today. Most of
the number went to Mount Vernon, but
they left the cars upon their return to
walk the streets of this city.

Friction Between City Engineer and
Contractors.

Considerable sensation was cause d
on King street this afternoon be-
tween City Engineer Dunn and
Messrs. Cuyillier & Co., concerning
the modus operandi of mixing the
cement for the grouting of the new paw
ing and other matters concerning the
paving. The City Engineerurgcd that the
cement should be mixed in a trough with
hoe; the contractors insisted on pre-
pairing the same in a revolving cylinder.
The contractors finally defed Mr.. Dunn
and announced that they would do the
work in their way until stopped by some
legal action. They claimed that they
had been retarded in the work Of grout-
ing since last Wednesday by the action
of the City Engineer. The latter de-
clined to make a statement. The trouble
resulted in the calling of a meeting OF
the committee on streets which the City
Engineer and Mr.. Cuvillier were re-
quested to attend.
1t is understood the matter will be
amicably settled.

patent medicines in all the drug stores of
the city. The Messrs. Leadbeater to-
day received so, 600 worth Of the same
medicine, making in all SIS, 900 worth
in five months. The wholesale trade in
