| ALEXANDRIA. Va. September Is, 1902.
The peculiar conduct of a stranger OBJ
served on the Strand last evening led to
his arrest by Officer Gill and his appear
| ance in the police court before Mayor Simp-
| son this morning He gave his name as
William Colder and said he hailed from
| Washington
Three times the mayor asked the stranger
| for account Of himself, but received a
cold and stolid stare. 's5 twenty days
on the gang" said the mayor. At this
point the strange man seemed to wake up
and passed over the rail a note written in
a scrawling hand with ink on a piece of
brown paper. A perusal of the writing soon
convinced the court that the author was
| mentally unbalanced. The note was about
as follows
Free country. Ruler of the human
family of the earth desires employment as
manager of soul. Large business with
beautiful moral view. Once capable Of
doing any kind Of work. Address 406 Will
son street northwest city: Age thirty
Mayor Simpson ordered the prisoner to
be locked up temporarily and directed the
officers to communicate with the Washing
ton police in regard to the case.
Complainant Fails to Appear. -
No arrests have followed the exciting
o clock Saturday afternoon, when Mrs. VIII
liam Desmond, wife of Councilman Des-
mond of the second ward, committed an as
sault on a woman named Inez Vaughn,
whom she discovered in the Office Of her
husband. Although the matter was re-
ported at the police station no one came
forward as complainant against the assail-
ant and no warrant was issued The in
jured woman has left the Alexandria Hos
pital, where she was carried soon after tie
assault. Her injuries We're not considered
serious. She claims to be from Washing
ton.
Mrs. Desmond appeared Unexpectedly at
her husbands place of business Saturday
afternoon. 1t is said she had been informed
that strange woman was frequenting the
premises Entering the shop, which is a
plumbers establishment. she walked
straight to the woman occupant, who was
seated at a desk, and Selling a lead pipe,
struck her a terrific blow over the head.
Blood flowed freely from the ugly wound
inflicted. The comm otion which followed
soon attracted the attention of passersby,
who summoned a policeman. The officer
sent the injured woman to the Alexandra
Hospital, where her wound was dressed.
She was painfully though not seriously
hurt.
Mr.. Desmond was in front Of the store at
the time, but left soon after. His wife an-
peared at the station house subsequently,
and tried in vain to get a warrant for her
husband and his alleged companion. 1t was
reported. this morning that Mrs. Desmond
had almost suffered a collapse owing 20
mental strain.

Appeal for Full Registration.

Mr.. Charles Bendheim, chairman of the
city democratic committee, has issued a
statement, calling attention of democrats to
the desirability Of registering under the
new constitution. Mr.. Bendheim alludes to
the small number of voters whose names
have been placed the books in the first
and second wards, where the registration
boards have been sitting a week, and sug
gests that the lack of interest is due TO a
misunderstanding of the new suffrage
clause. The city chairman also calls at
tention to the danger of a reduction of the
local representation in political conventions
unless the voters turn out In full. A total
of about 200 names represents the work of
the two registration boards up to the pres

Thrown From Vehicle.

While driving in a trap around the con-
federate monument at the intersection Of
Prince and Washington streets, yesterday
morning Miss Elizabeth L. Lee was thrown
to the brick pavement and painfully cut
and bruised about the head. She was
picked up in an unconscious condition and
carried TO the office of Dr. Hutchins n, a
dentist, and DR.. Hugh Mcclure rendered
medical assistance. In short time Mss
Lee was resusc:tated and conveyed to her
home, 706 Duke street. 1t Is not thought
that her injuries are serious. The accident
was caused by the fall of the horse which
Miss Lee was driving. While rounding the
monument the animal lost it's footing and
lurched forward, throwing the occupant of
the trap to the ground.
