Unfounded Report.

Au unfounded report was in clrcuia-
ton this morning that Judson Gardner,
who has been i'll with typhoid fever at
the Alexandria Hospital for the past
month was dead. This is incorrect, for
the Young man is rapidly convalescing
and will be able to leave the Hospital
next week. About two years ago,
Young Gardner then only sixteen, ran
away from his home in Plainfeld, Conn,
and his disappearance caused much ex-
element and attracted attention
throughout the country, All traces OF .,
him were lost and he has visited all
narts of the country since leaving home.
About monthsago while in this city he
was taken i'll and was sent to the Hos.
pital, where his identity was discovered.
His father, DR.. Gardner, was notified at
once, and he was very glad to get news
of his son. As soon as he is able to
travel Gardner will return to his home.

Redemption of Bonds.

On Tuesday next, July /, the City
Treasurer will pay to those owning bonds
of the issue of 1872 the amount of their
holdings which fall due on that day.
There is s35, 600 of these bonds now out
standing, So, 600 of which are held by
the commissioners of the sinking fund.
Under the funding act of 1879 all Of the
stock of 1872 was exchanged but about
500, 900. This last-named sum has been
reduced gradually. OF the amount to
be redeemed only $500 is now owned by
those who owned that amount in 1879.
These 1872 bonds have been subject to
city as well as State taxes, so have paid
but little more than the 1879 issue.

Fined Five Dollars.

But one case was before the Mayor
this morning, that of Albert Wilson
charged with assault and beating John
f. Holland with beer bottle. Both
men. who are colored, are employed at
the Portner brewery, and this morning
they became involved in a wordy diff
ficulty. which terminated by Wilson
striking Holland over the head with d
beer bottle. At the trial this morning
Wilson said that ne had struck Holland
only after the latter had cut him with a
knife, and exhibited slash across his
back which he claimed to have received
during the row. Witnesses of the
fracas saw no cutting, and the clothes
worn by Wilson did not show the marks
of a knife, so Holland was dismissed
and Wilson was fined 50.
