Assailants Fined.

VIM. Robinson and Arthur Blake were
arrested shortly after twelve o'clock last
night by Lieutenant Smith and Officers
Mayhugh and Garvey for assaulting and
beating Frank Duffy. The latter was
held as witness, and upon reaching
the station house he asked the lieutenant
if he could get out on collateral. The
lieutenant, seeing he was drunk and in
an unkempt and irresponsible condition,
pleasantly replied, eyes, if you deposit
$50" Duffy put his hand in his
pocket and took out that sum and offered
it to the lieutenant. The latter con-
cluded he had better hold the man and
the money, as should he go out into the
street with that sum on his person he
would in all probability be robbed.
This morning Robinson and Blake were
arraigned before the Mayor when it APP
reared that Robinson had assaulted
Duffy and a young man named Frank
Lashun, who was with him, because
Duffy refused to give him money; also
that Robinson had assaulted Lashun.
The Mayor fined Robinson $50 and
Blake $50. Dufy's money was return
ed to him accompanied with some
salutary advice. He is a bricklayer
from Charleston, S. c., and occasionally
comes here in order to enjoy spree.

Forfeited His Collateral.

As was stated yesterday, a row oe-
Cured in saloon in the northeastern
part of the city night or two ago be-
tween two colored men, during which
one of the belligerents cut his antagonist
and the latter retaliated with a stick.
The combattants were parted by the
proprietor, one being pushed into a
room and the other elected from the
premises. The parties were gambling
and the trouble was precipitated by one
of the darkeys grabbing the "pot." The
Mayor fined them $40 each and issued
a warrant for the arrest of the proprietor
of the place for allowing gambling on
his premises. He left collateral for his
appearance this morning, but failed to
appear when the case was called and
forfeited the same. The Mayor in dis
posing of the case of the two darkeys
yesterday morning said the proprietor of
the saloon, who was a material witness,
had not been summoned, but number
of negroes had been arrayed in front of
the desk, Hereafter, he said, eyewit-
nesses of aflrays must be produced.

Railroad Rumors.

Speculations concerning the purchase
of property north and west OF Alexan,
dria bv parties known to be connected
with the trunk line railroads centrelng
in Alexandria still afford a theme for
conversation and many are elated at
what they believe to be the most favor
able wave which has struck this section
in this city's history 1t is now almost
certain that these companies are negoti-
ating for the purchase of other property
and that eventually the acquisitions
will extend almost to the old canal
basin. 1t is said the Slater house and
grounds will be acquired by the railroads.
The indications become more plain
daily that repair shops are to be placed
on the south side of the Potomac. In
fact certain hints and occasional remarks
dropped by those connected with the
Pennsylvania Railroad can mean moth
ing else. Alexandria is in the natural
vein of communication between the
North and the South it is impossible to
isolate the city. The great neck of travel
must necessarily be through it or east of
Shooters Hill and binding on Alexan-
dria. The stimulus which will be given
the city is apparent, and that it will now
rapidly extend north and west is almost
an assured fact.

A Prolific Crop.

The strawberry crop this season has
been about on an average with that OF
former years, and prices now are probably
as low as will prevail. There was an
abundance of this fruit in market this
morning and some of the exhibits were
fine and luscious. They sold at cents
per box up. The stores for the
past few days have had abundant supplies.
They bring from 5 cents to 10 cents.
The season is now nearly over, and few
days hence strawberry time will be as
far off as ever Raspberries and
cherries will, however, be around shortly.

The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles and
bones of a man Of average size loses two
pounds of wornout tissue. This waste cannot
be replenished and the health and strength
kept up without perfect digestion. When the
stomach aud digestive organs fail TO per-
form their functions, the strength lets down,
health gives way, and disease sets up. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach and di-
gestive organs to digest and assimilate all of
the wholesome food that may be eaten into
the kind of blood that rebuilds the tissues
and protects the health and strength of the
mind and body. Kodol cures Indigestion,
Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. II is an
ideal spring tonic. Sold by E. S. Leadbeater

MUST RETURN TO HAREM. The
Spanish government is about to hand
over to the Moorish government run
away from the harem of the Sultan. The
unfortunate lady, who is said to be of
remarkable-ev dazzling - beauty,
landed at Cadiz about month ago from
British steamer, which had taken her
on board at Tangier. She went to Seville,
where a pious lady took charge of her
and converted her to Christianity. On
her baptism she changed her name from
Fatima to Dolores, and DOMINIC Euro
pean attire, she earned her living as a
needlewoman. All went we'll for a few
weeks, Dolores imagining herself safe in
"Alt Christian" Spain from her pursuers.
But Mohammed Torres, the Sultan of
Morocco's minister, made demand for
her return and the Spanish government
has acquiesced. The unfortunate woman
goes back to life OF misery. For the
rest of her natural existence she will be
chained by the ankles to prevent her
again attempting TO escape. The Madrid
press is highly indignant at the action OF
the government, and it is reported that
Fatima expressed the intention of COM
hitting suicide rather than go back.
