Sale of Steamer Belle Haven.

The old steamer Belle Haven, which.
has been lying in the dock at the foot OF
King street for several months past, has
been sold by the ferry company to j.;
Dreifus g. Co. The present owners will
break up the boat in order to obtain
the material. The Belle Haven
has been in these waters for the past
thirty years, having been brought here
in the summer of 1873, shortly after the
burning of the steamer Wawaset. she
was built at Wilmington, Del, in 1884,
and was then known as the Pilot Bay
When placed on the Potomac she ran on
the lower river route, and on the burn
ing of the ferry steamer City of Alexan-
dria in the fall of 1894 she was pur-
chased by the ferry company and taken
TO Baltimore, where her iron hull was
inclosed in a wooden sheathing. Upon
her return she took her place on the
ferry route between this city and Wash,
ington, continuing on the same until
last spring, when the ravages OF Tune
had rendered her no longer tit for the
purpose.

what lead up to it,
John Macaboy, the other man found
in the Prince street house, followed.
He is said to be one of the men arrested
in Washington with several Alexandrians
few days ego charged with stealing a
watch. He, too, pretended to know
nothing concerning the shooting. lie
said he was from Baltimore, and the
man who had left the city was Ed.
REYNOLDS and the woman the latter
wife; that Reynolds's first wife was
witnesses sister. Macaboy pretended
ignorance when piled with questions;
said he did not know where Reynolds
came from or anything concerning him.
He had not seen him since "Wednesday
night.
II was determined 10 hold Macaboy
and recognize the other witnesses for
a further hearing of the case. In the
meantime the authorities are using every
means to ascertain the whereabouts OF
Reynolds, as there is reason to believe
that he did the shooting.
Acting Chief Knight and Officer Gar
vey went to Washington this morning
and brought the woman to this city.
In reply to a question propounded by the
acting Chief she said she would die be-
fore she would divulge the name of the
man who was with her in McLearen's
saloon last night. She acknowledged
that she was in the yard when the shot
was fired. Upon being searched pictures
of her father and mother were found In
her possession. Her parent are Mr.. and
Mrs. John Dugan, of Cumberland, Nd.
Nothing, however, was found to tend
to the Identification of the man who was
with her in the saloon Mr. Knight
says the picture of one of the men ar
rested at the house on Prince street this
morning is in the possession of the Wash
ington police authorities. The woman
in answer to interrogatories, said she
was in Wade's saloon with two men dur
ing the early part of last night, although
Wade positively denied this when he
heard of Ryan sdepositiou. The woman
when told that gun had been found in
her house on Prince street, said she
never knew the frearm was there.
When the acting Chief took possession
of it the weapon was loaded with No. 8
shot and both hammers were raised.
There is evidently some secret chapter
a A. e he.
which does not appear on the
surface. All the witnesses testified that
they did not know the assailant, nor
what superinduced the difficulty between
him and Ryan. The fact that half
dozen or more men stood passively by
and allowed a stranger to shoot an Alex
man the witnesses consorted
with constantly, and make his escape,
is a strange feature Of the case.
