A horse trader, who is said to be
one Of a party engaged in nomadic
life, Grading horses and telling for
tunes) arrived here yesterday from
Orange with a warrant for the arrest
OF fnurteen-year.old boy named
Joseph Zones, native of this city.
The warrant charged the boy with
stealing certain articles belonging to
the man. The accused was taken in
custody and brought before the Police
Court this morning. at which time
Mrs. John Zones appeared and salts
fed the court that the man had no
claim upon the boy, as she and her
husband had taken him from Child
ren's home Ia Washington aud legally
adopted him. She claimed that the
man who desired to take the youth
back TO Orange had carried him away
unlawfully. Justice Cation, after exam
inng the warrant, told the man it was
worthless for certain reasons and turned
the boy over to Mrs. Zones. He or.
'dered that the articles. which the boy
admitted belonged to the mn, were
turned over to the latter.

3rSICAL ASSOCIATION.

realize the fact that there are MANY
people in this city who have en- in

or and form an association which
would be OF material benefit to all.
4 meeting OF such has been planned
FOR next Monday night az Sarcpta

will be large attendance and inter-
est shown in the movement, which il
deserves. Ii is not requisite for those
who may desire 10 join TO be able to
master an instrument. All who have
any idea OF the science can unite.
In bygone years Alexandria had Il
Musical Association OF which the
community was justly proud. They
held meetings in Sarepta Hall which
were largely attended by all classes
of the community. 1t was one OF our
most cherished institutions. Interest,
however, Jagged after it had been
in operation for years, and it was
finally disbandcd, to the regret CT
many who never missed one of its
entertainments.
The movement which has been
started may stir UP enthusiasm IN
the present generation. many OF whorl
are votarics Of the Muses., and it is
hoped that our city will soon have
another association similar to that
which proved so interesting in past
years.
