CLEANING UP.

The old City Hotel, at the southwest
corner of Cameron and Royal street;
supposed at one time to have been the
stopping place Of General George
Washington, is undergoing a process
of general clean up and the accumu'
lated debris of years being removed
from the basement.
Parts of old furniture, straw anc
dirt of all kinds, in some places haV-
ing been piled to the roof, is going e
the dump, and very good thing too
In fact it would be laudable under
taking if every business house anc
store in Alexandria would receive &
general clean up at intervals, at least
once year if not oftener.
Keeping cellars and Easements Gle II
and aired will most certainly operate
to raise the standard of cleanliness O.
our city and be most helpful to tht
health officials in keeping up the rep
utation of Greater Alexandria as
sanitary city and healthful place il
which to live.

MURDEROUS ATTACK.
Samuel Scott, Colored, Seriously Cal
Early Last light.

Early last night while Samuel Scott
about 80 years old, was standing ir
front of Wash. Jackson's boarding
house on upper King street a negro
who was on an electric train, alightec
and ran towards him. Before Scott
could divine his purpose the negro CIT
him seriously on the back and side OF
the neck. From the vicious manner
in which he welded the knife there /:
every reason to believe his object wa:
murder. Scott, with blood flowing
freely over his face and garments
soon had crowd around him, but hi;
assaiIant had in the meantime jumpct
aboard another north bound train an.
was soon on his way towards Wash
ington.
Dr.. Delaney was sumoned to attent
Scott and the doctor took eighteer
stitches in one place and eleven in an
other.
The police think they will be abit
to identify the negro who did the cus
ting. While the motive is not clear
it is suggested that the crime was th'
outcome of jealousy.
Since the above was written sers
cant Scott and Officer Rawlett, WIS
| had proceeded to Washington II
search of the would-be murderer, r.
turned with Chraes Veney, co!ored
in custody, who, it is alleged attacked
Scott. The officers had been on III
trail snd ascertained that Eeney haf
cone to the brickyards near Washing
ton after, it is said, he left Alexandrl'
and later went or to the capital CITY
where the officers located him and nae
him arrested. Jealosly, it is believed
prompted the crime.

About five o'clock yesterday evening
people on south Royal street were
startled by the piercing shrieks OF a
colored woman who was making me-
way south on the electric railway
tracks. For time no one was ap!e
to ascertain the cause Of her dlstre -
1t was finally learned that drunken
negro (some say colored boy) had
told her tha. her two boys had just
fallen from the railway bridge o'eE
Hunting creek and been drowned. Ihl
bows, who were in the neighborhood
at the time, seeing people running To-
wards the railway track, started II
that direction and were surprised ny
seeing their mother was causing tn:
excitement. They ran towards nj
and the scene which followed can bet
ter be imagined than described. i
was suggested that the negro "hf
started the report should be arrested
and fined for disorderly conduct.

WIFE is NOT PRESENT.
Former Police Lieutenant is Trans
ferred From the Tombs to Peni-
tentiary at Sing Sing.

New York, Oct. 30-Former Lieu
tenant of Police, Charles Becker, con-
victed last week of murder in the
first degree in having brought
about the death of Gambler Herman
Rosenthal, was sentenced by Justice
Golf today to death in the electric
chair in Sing Sing prison during the
week beginning DecemSsr 9. Becker
took his sentence calmly, standing
impassively. He had no word of pro-
test and the proceeding was absolute
ly formal, the attorneys for the prls-
oner making the various motions in
low tones and duly noting the excep-
tions as each motion was denied by the
black robed justice.
Becker stood alone at the bar. His
faithful wife, to become mother IN
January, had been denied permission
to stand by his side. The denial was
an act Of mercy, as the little woman
collapsed utterly under the strain
as she stood in the sheriff's office,
and slid to the floor in dead faint.
It was necessary to call physician
to care for her. The doomed mans
brother also remained outside of the
court room and his chief counsel, Jno.
F. Mcintyre was unable to be with
him. The strain of the trial had alb
solutely broksa Mcintyre, and it was
said today that his doctors had warned
him if he hoped to live he must leave
New York for another climate.
Becker was not given the usual per-
mission to stay in the tombs FOL
lowing his sentence. Instead, Sher-
if julius Hamburger, for reasons
best known to himself, rushed the con-
demned man to the Grand Central
station in the prison van and took hln'
to Sing Sing on the train leaving here
at 1850, thus giving color to Becker, s
bitter comment the other day that ne
was to be "railroaded" even to the
death house. Golf, in his sentence
made it clear that Becker must re-
main in the Tombs ten days If the
sheriff so willed, but Hamburger, who
was the court of last resort, decided
otherwise. Becker's friends said that
his recent bitter verbal attacks on the
Jews influenced the sheriff who is a
Hebrew, to show the condemned man
no consideration.
