Foreign Vessels.

A dispatch to the New York World
announcing the arrival at this port OF
the Italian barkentine Antonio Dali
saws this is the first foreign cargo to ar
rive at this port since the civil war.
This seems to be the impression in other
places closer than New York. 1t has
been but two or three years ago since a
cargo arrived here in a foreign vessel
from the south temperate zone, aud other
vessels, including foreign steamers, from
different climes have come here in recent
years. The World says Alexandria had
at one time larger foreign trade than
New York, but it is doubtless mistaken
in this assertion, although within the
memory of many now living foreign
flags we're common at Alexandria wharves
at the docks of this port, and they may
be the advance guard of Others to come
in the near future.

Southern Railway struck buggy con-
tanning DR.. E. A. German on the east
side of Henry street, near King. The
horses legs we're broken. the buggy

electric railway track west Of the South
ern track at the time of the accident,
that when the locomotive reached the
intersection DR.. German was driving
westward almost on line with the curb
ing of the east side ofHenry street. The
doctor turned suddenly to the south on
Henry street, and when he had pro-
ceeded few yards his horse was struck
by the engine with the result given
above. DR.. German says that he was
unaware of the fact that an engine was
approaching and had almost reached the
intersection of the two streets when he
saw the locomotive, and turned his hors'
to the left in order to avoid the accident

Death of General Payne.

General William II. Payne, whose
serious illness has been referred 10 sew
eral times recently, died this morning at
1875 O'Clock at his apartments in the
Gloucester, in Washington. He was
surrounded by the members of his
family when the end came. They had
recently been ceaseless in their vigils,
aware as, they we're, during the past
week that his life was slowly ebbing.
Gen. Payne was one of the most noted
of the Confederate cavalry leaders. lie
was born at Clifton, Fauquier county,
Va, June Is, 1880, and was educated
for the law. In 1858 he was elected
Commonwealths' Attorney for Fauquier
county, his opponent being the late
Robi. Scott. At the outbreak OF the
civil war he organized the famous Black
Horse Cavalry of Virginia and COM
manded his organization at the first bat
tie of Bull Run. He was promoted to
be major within two weeks after his first
engagement and was assigned to the 4th
Virginia cavalry. He remained with
this command during the next two
years and was promoted to be lieutenant
colonel Gin 1862 and colonel in 1868.
In November, 1864, he was made a
brigadier general in the cavalry service
of the Confederate,army and commanded
brigade in Fitzhugh Lees division.
Gen. Payne was seriously wounded three
times during the war and was frequently
mentioned in dispatches and general
orders for distinguished services. AT
the close of the war Gen. Payne entered
upon the practice of law and on the
organization of the Southern railway was
made one of its legal representatives.
For many years past Gen. Payne has
been one of the chiefcounsel ofthe South
ern and in this capacity he has spent
much of his time in Washington.
He was married just before the outbreak
of the civil war and has six children
Harry Payne, Wilson Payne, Arthur
Payne, w. w. Payne, G. B. Payne and
Mrs. Virginia S. Hunton. General
Payne was president Of the organization
of veterans of the old Black Horse cav
airy, which has kept alive the name OF
the famous organization. The deceased
was at one time a member OF The
Legislature. There were times IN
his life when he could have held
more exalted positions and doubtless
could on more than one occasion have
received the nomination for Congress or
governor His circle of acquaintance
was vast and his gentemanly instincts
made him friends wherever he went.
He was genuine type Of the old Vir-
ginia gentleman, and his death is sim
cerely lamented, not only in the one COM
monwealth where he was so justly es-
teemed, but throughout this entire sec
ton of the country.
The remains will be taken to Warren
ton, his old home, for interment and the
funeral will take place there on Thurs
day evening at o'clock. A special
train will leave Washington on that
morning for Warrenton, stopping here,
and such of the friends of the General
who wish to attend the funeral will be
furnished transportation.
