Fined Fifty Dollars.

The authorities Of the Washington
Southern Railway had suspected that
colored individual named Walter Butler,
who has been employed to deliver feed
from the company's cars to Alexandra
merchants, was disposing of quantities
of the same and appropriating the pro-
ceeds. Special Officer Park and oibcer
Garyey have for several days been work
ing on the case and yesterday they OBJ
tanned information enough to warrant
them in arresting Butler, who lives in
Fairfax county, a short distance west OF
this city. Butler was brought before the
Mayor this morning and the evidence was
so conclusive that he was fined $50.
Henry Stephens, another colored indi-
vidual, who was charged with being an ac-
cessory, was fined $25. The officers sue
ceedeed in recovering lot of the stolen
feed. The extension of side tracks to
Four-mie run and their constant
occupation by strings of freight cars
extending for over mile west OF the
city, renders it extremely difficult to
keep thieves from them, and the watch
man and special policeman are taxed to
their utmost to protect the goods entrust-
ed to the railway company. Mr.. Win
ston Crupper, the Waterman, is left busy
every night chasing would-be thieves.

An Anxious Couple.

A young man and young woman ar
rived in this city from Washington al
1890 o'clock last night on very urgent
business. The couple were bent on get
ting married notwithstanding the I'M
seemly hour, and meeting Officers Hen.
derson and Lyles, they asked their aid
in furthering their object. The officers
accompanied the couple to the residence
of the Clerk of the Corporation Court,
but all attempts to bring that official to
the window proved futile, and as the
wee sma hours drew on the anxious
pair were forced to seek shelter for the
remainder of the night and possess their
souls in patience until this morning.
They accordingly wended their way to
the New Hotel Rammel where they
were provided separate rooms in different
parts of the house. The ardent couple
when they arose this morning, instead
of seeking the Clerk of the Court and a
minister, made arrangements to leave
the city as quickly as possible, and from
their movements it is supposed they APP
pretended the sudden appearanceo trela'
tives. The names on the hotel register
could not be translated with certainty.

Disputed Ownership.

Some time since a contract for grading
and gra7eling north st. Asaph street
was given by the city to Capt. w. IL.
Smith. the lowest bidder. During the
work the old rails which were in use
when that street was occupied by the
Washington and Alexandria Railroad
were unearthed and question of owner
ship followed. The railroad officials
virtually renowned claim to the rails,
but the city claimed them by reason OF
the iron being abandoned property,
while the contractor also claimed them
as being found on hts work. Insisting
upon his right Of ownership, Capt.
Smith recently sold the old iron to
J. Dreifus & Co. When this became
known City Engineer Dunn, upon the
advice of City Attorney Boothe, mott
ged Dreifus & Co. that they must stop
hauling the rails from st. Asaph street
and that they would be held responsible
for those already carried off. Mr..
Boothe has suggested that Dreifus &
Co. pay into court the price of the rails
and let the ownership be determined

The Rest Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.]
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle OF
the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost in case OF Group
as revolver is to be lost in case Of burg
lars. There used to be an oldfashioned
remedy tor Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy az soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale
