iOy exhibited in the packing house dis
trict today over the settlement of the ar

A IsoyaI Scandal.

Madrid, July 2l.-An unpleasant rev.
citation is causing trouble at the Span
ish court. The father OF King Alfonso
had two sons by the famous singer Ell
len SAM and wrote her several letters
admitting the paternity After his
death Queen Christina bought the let
tiers and granted small annuity to the
boys. They are now respectively 70
and 10 years old, and have made de-
mand on King Alfonso for an increase
in their allowance, asserting that they
have further compromising letters which
they threaten to make public should
their demands not be granted. King
Alfonso is stated to be anxious to COM
promise any public action by granting
the original demands, but this course is
strenuously opposed by Queen Christina,
who insists that the youths receive no
further financial aid. Both young men
are declared to be remarkably like the
. late king.

Panic on a Steamer.

New York, July 2l.--A panic, which
was quelled before it got beyond control,
followed collision in New York Bay
today, between the steamer Howard
Carroll and a barge. The Carroll struck
the barge, cutting a hole in its side and
damaging her own bows. When the
boats came together the passengers on
the Carroll could be heard at the Battery
screaming and a number of steamers
started for the steamers assistance, but
her captain signalled that he was all
right. Many of the passengers fastened
life preservers about their waists but the
crew finally treasured them, and the
Carroll put back to her Brooklyn dock.

The HowardsyiIIe Chapel.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette
Will you kindly add few lines as a
supplement to the friendly report in
your issue of last Monday, describing the
laying of the corner stone Of the Chapel
of the Holy Spirit, at Howardsville IN
Fairfax county. Your reporter naturally
did not know that the work Of building
this chapel is being done gratuitcusly by
the skilled workmen of this neighbour
hood, and, that they are therefore contrib
uting the larger share toward this un'
dertaking. To sign one Shame to acheck,
toward an honorable purpose, is well
but to bend ones back day after day,
under the burning sun, is better, AMI
those who do the work are doing the
lions share. Reckoned by the day their
work, in its cash value, exceeds the most
liberal Of outside donations. NJ. NJ. A.

army stampeded and fell back upon
Alexandria and the defenses of Washing
ton, and the U. s. gunbOat Pawnee and
the brig Perry were hurried to this city,
it being believed the Confederate army
would follow up its victory by recaptur-
ing this place and moving on Washing
ton. Many Alexandrians have paid
the debt of nature since the thrilling
scenes incident to that day, although
there are numbers still in our midst who
were eyewitnesses of the retreat. People
of this city listened all day to the roar
of the battle, sounding as it did like an
approaching thunder storm. The out
