Banking and Trust Company.

For some time rumOrs have been in
circulation of the purpose OF number
Of we'll known gentlemen OF this CITY
and ncighb1i.g counties to inaugurate
a banking ..i.. tlust company in Alexan-
dria and it is now learned that the
movement has assumed definite shape
with every indication of it eliminating
into an actual fact Capitalists of Alex
andria. Washington, Fairfax, Loudoun,
Prince William, Fauquier and Culpeper
are interested in the matter, and they
concur in the opinion that Alexandria is
the most suitable point for the establish
ment of such an institution. There IS
already at the disposal of the incorpos
TatOrs several times more capital than Is
required. A number of prominent COM
mercial, legal and financial gentlemen
will manage the affairs Of the new COM
PAW and those interested have options
on several pieces of property in Alexan-
dria. either of which would be suitable
for the purpose of the new company
which is designed to be an adjunct OF
national bank also to be established here
by the same gentlemen. The banking
house and trust company willin measure
transact the business of a clearing house
for northern Virginia, and the bulk OF Its
transactions will probably be IN tie
Southern States. Judge Nicol OF the
Circuit Court has been rendered the
presidency of the new company and
tempting offers have been made to him.
The Judge however, while willing to be-
come stakeholder, preferred some one
/ else would assume the presidency when
the subject was mentioned to him, 0ut
pressure has been brought to bear which
NAV cause him to reconsider his de-
Examination and allow himself to be
elected head Of the new corporation.
In fact some Of his friends think he Will
accept the position. In conversation
this morning Judge Nicol said that ID
the event of his resignation as Judge ne
wonld not tender it until next February
al which time the Legislature would be
in session and ready to elect a successor.
The matter has gone so far, and so pro-
nonnced are many in their belief that
Judge Nicol will be head Of the now
organization, that already candidates for
the ermine have been put IN the
field by their friends, among whom are
cx-Judge McCabe Of L)udoun, Judge
!"ebbs. Of Fauquier, Judge Live OF Far
fax, Judge White of Fauquier, and Mr..
! NJ johnson Of Alexandria.
rSince the above was written 1t Is
understood that the building on the
northeast corner of King and Royal
streets has been sold, through the agency
of Messrs NJ. b. Harlow q Co., to
gentleman in Washington who Is lnlei-
ested 10 the new company to be estao'
lished here. The price paid was SILL

Trouble in a Family.

Considerable excitement was created
on south Lee street, between ten and
eleven O. clock last night by row which
occurred in a house, during which police
calls we're sounded and cries uttered
which caused people in the neig hbor-
hood to suppose that violence was being
offered some one. Officers madea quick
response when they ascertained that the
man of the house had struck his vile,
alleging that be was provoked to do by
her conduct. The man was arrested,
but before the case was called in the
Police Court this morning the prosecutrix
withdrew the charge and the matter was
dismissed. 1t seems that another male
member of the family was involved in
the difficulty, but the case was su6st
qucntly settled to the satisfaction OF al
concerned.
