Dismal Weather.

The rainy and raw weather of yester-
day continued throughout last night and
showed no '1et up" today. The cold
northeast wind and driving rain drove
every one not forced to be on the streets
TO shelter. Delivery wagons FASTENED
over their rounds, while mail carriers,
insurance collectors, newsbOys, reporters
and others who are compelled to brave
che elements pod their respective ways,
some clad in rainprOOf garments and
Others with umbrellas. There was but
one common observation aud that was
in regard to the dismal nature OF the
weather. Occasional snow slides from
houses attracted attention or caused
pedestrians to scampeF Around the
river front conditions were equally unln-
yiting. The northeast wind dashed
waves against bulkhesds and careeDed
craft lying in docks. There Vas virtually
nothing on the bosom of the stream to
attract attention, save now and then
tugboat moved up or down the river
The same conditions existed to the mouth
of the river, according to the officers OF
the Norfolk steamer, which arrived ny
early this mOrni0g.

Informant Assaulted.

A few days ago an item in this column
described certain disgraceful scenes DC,
tween two drunken women and se9efaI
men in an ark on the north shore OF
Hunting creek, near the site OF the old
toll house. A night or two ago while Mr.
A. d. Brown was in Mr.. M. X. Ooul-
livan's store. at the southern end OF
Patrick street and in Fairfax county, ne
was approached by man named Jonn
(alias "Skeeter) Welsh, who asked Mr.
Brown if he gave the reporter for the
Gazette the facts in correction with the
item. Mr.. Brown replied in the sthrma-
tive when Welsh struck him on the oack
of the head and before Mr. Brown could
stoo him he delivered several other blows
on his face. Mr. Brown forced his as
sailsnt over some barrels when Welsh $
friends conducted him away Mr..
Brown was not the only witness
10 the licentious proceedings at the
ark anA it is said that all persons who
were concerned in getting the item
I'm the Gazette are to be summary dealt
with by the individuals who were e"le''
tanning the women, in which event the
foolkiller. who has for some time been
in the shade in Alexandra, may sud-
denly manifest himself. As stated above,
the assault upon Mr.. Brown was com
mitted in Fairfax county, a. was aIs' ihe
uuseemly conduct on the ARK ana TINS
affords another reason why the corporate
limits of Alexandria should extend FAR
enough south Cor the city authorities to
exercise police jurisdiction over such
cases. Mr.. Brown, being of peacea Die
nature, did not report the assault TO lhe
Fairfax authorities, but that they should
take cognizance OF such incidents Is APP
parent, especially when it IS rememter-
ed that Justice Triplett with his cosdlu-
Cor, Constable A. J. Payne, occasionally
occupies the wool ack in blacksmith
shop on the opposite corner from 'ne
store where the assault occurred.

| rolled. and the titles were read and tie

la the House Mr.. ThrOckmorton Of
fered a resolution to extend the term OF
the assistant clerk, Thomas II. Bigger,
sixty days, in order that the clerk might
be given time to complete the work be-
fore him. the accumulation of business
being so great that it was physical i'm
poss bility for him to keep up with the
proceedings. The resolution was adept
ed. A large volume of bills laid on the
speakers desk for his signature occupied
his time during yesterdays session.
| Mr.. Lane made humorous speech,
in which he suggested that the Dust
of Captain John Smith, presented by
Captain Charles Meyer to the State, be
given a place in the "busted State
treasury" This brought Colonel Lee to
his feet, and on his motion an 'fndeh-
nite leave of absence" was granted Mr.
Lane, amid laughter.
Before the legislative committee in"
vestigating irregularities in connection
with amendments reported to certain
bills Judge Gooch, the enrolling clerk,
Yesterday testified that be bad been

, sented the amendment in question sim

pose of having them exchanged. The
