LAST NIGHT
Negro Grossly Insults White Woman
On Upper King Street-People
Exasperated.

The crowd at the carnival now ex-
hibiting on King street, extended, be-
came frenzied last night at the bold
act of negro named John Davis,who
made an assault on a white woman
,lamed Wilson, who resides outside
the city. Mrs. Wilson was in car
riage at the time. The assault was
In the nature of a gross insult, which
so excited the crowd nearby that Tor
time violence was feared.
The place which was the scene of
the occurrence is few yards out
side the city limits and in Alexandria
County, and Officer Crane took Davis
in charge and placed him in the station
house until this morning, when he
conducted him to the county jail.
Since the occurrence stories of
other bold acts by Davis have been
circulated. and it is said that he bare
ly escaped getting in trouble in this
city over year ago. 1t will be re-
membered that at the time several
young white women had been seized
in the southwestern section Of tho
city at night by strange negro, who
kissed them. On one occasion it is
said Davis, who had been suspected
of committing these assaults, was
chased by an angry crowd.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Baitimore Asks Alexandria to Coop
crate During Celebration Of
Centennial Week.

|, Mayor Fishar has received the fol-
lowing communication from Mayor
Preston, of Baltimore: n'A70s,
Hon. Thomas A. Fisher,
Mayor Of Alexandria, ~
Alexandria, Va.
Dear Sir: In September of this
year will occur the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of the "Star
Spangled Banner and the achieve
ment of American independence.
Both these events were made possible
by the successful defense of Balti-
more against the British, and that
they may be fittingly commemorated,
we will hold from September 9th to
| 18th, a celebration that will excel
all others of like character. For
more than year the citizens of Bal
timore have been working diligently
to complete plans that are in keep
Ing with the high dignity of the ami
versary. Thousands from all sec
tions will come to our city to pay
! homage to the author and the song
| that has never failed to thrill with
pride the heart of every loyal Ameri-
can.
/ But while this gathering will be
i great in numbers, throughout the
land there will be millions who will
| find it impossible to come. 1t is only
proper. therefore, that some steps
should be taken to make them feel
that they have a part in the great
national celebration. 1t seems to me
! tht no better method could be adopt
ed to bring this about than to have
the national standard the "Stars and
Stripes" flying over every public
building, business institution and
i residence in every city during the
entire celebration. TO you, the chief
executive of your city, | appeal for
cooperation, and feel sure that the
general use of the American flag
during Centennial Week will not only
aid the cause of patriotism, but pre-
sent to the world a striking picture
of the strength. purity and loyalty
of which the "Hcaven-born Banner"
is the emblem.
Anticipating with pleasure an en-
preston of your views on this sub
lject, / am, very truly yours.

ORE FIND GOOD ONE

night In the latters car from a trip 10
inspect the new ore find made near Pier
mont by Andy Buchanan, a trapper, says
the Ely ENposltor.
The strike Jocks very good IN the
opinion OF Mr. Hulse, who brought back
some samples OF the surface ore which
appears 10 be well mineralized and
which is found in a lime -quartzite con-
tact that parallels the schist- -quartzite
contact on which the old PIermont mines
are located. There appears TO be sew
eral contacts running along through the
foothills in a northcrly- southerly direc-
tlon and which, In fact, are believed TO
be part Of the series extending from
Schellbourne pass TO Cooper pass n dis
tance OF about sixty miles. The old
Copper mine. the Muncy mines. those at
Aurum. Siegel and Queen springs are all
believed to be on this series OF contacts
and from all Of them large quantities OF
ore have been produced at one time or
another.
