The challenge was accepted by Payne, and preparations were being made for an immediate Sight; but Judge Keith, of the Circuit Court in ‘hat district, ordered the arrest of General W. H. Payne, Capt. 0. D. Payne, Judge Thomas Swith, James Barbour, and lonel Mosby. Meests. Barbour, Smith, and General Payne were taken into custody; but Col. Mosby and Capt. 0. D. Payne XLUDED THE OFPIC8RS OF THE LAW, and it was arranged tha: they should start at once for this District. Col. Mosby came down on a freight train of the Great Southern and Midland line, and landingin Alexandria about 2 o’clock p. m. yesterday, at once took passa; for this city, where he arrived soon ‘afterwards. Captain Payne took eon the afternoon passenger train for Alexeudria, and jumped off at a crossing some miles before reaching Alex- andria for the purpose, it is supposed, of eluding rest. After they left Warrenton a telegram as sent to the Alexandria authorities to look outfor them. Col. John S. Barbour, who, it is represented, was on the train with Payne, put the officers on the alert to prevent a fight,’ and Captain Jas. M. Stewart, chief of the ‘Afexan- polic - 3 ordered a lookout to be kept for ee err onaErOWw NE HOCe® ™ | them, and at once sent the following telegram 7. “ to this city: e days since J. O.

Mosby was on Capitol bill, started in that direction, and about 10 o’elock p. m. found hi in Sanderson’s hotel, in company with several of his friends. On approaching him, Mr. Sar- dent of public schools, sent a letter to the District Commissioners requesting that, in ac- cordance with an act of the Legislative Assem- bly, authorizing the Governor of the District to anticipate the school fund of Georgetown by borrowing such sum as might be necessary to complete the new school-house, that the Com- missioners do now exercise that power and pro- cure the necessary funds. The matter was re- ferred to the attorney for the District, Mr. Stanton, who addresses the Commissioners as fol! he act of Congress approved Jane 20, 1874, provides that ‘said Commisvioners shal! have no power to anticipate taxes by @ sale or bypethecation of any such tax or evidence thereof.” Thi wing of money by the Uom- missioners by anticipation of the taxes is con- trary to the letter and sprit of the act ef Con- grees. Bat if the we: ali be continued under @ centract made by the building committee, marsuant to the act of the Legislative Assem- ly, and prior to the passage ot the act of Con- gress of June 20, 1°74, claims arising out of the contract can, it would seem, be audited by the eard of audit, and upon certificates issued by board payment of the amounts thus found to be due can be obtained by the contractors in the bonds authorized by the act of Congress.” — + THE bp ang on — one Mont- mery county, Maryland, yesterday, was at- Ended | bya ee company, shtel! y from that county and Prince George—Jacksonville being but a short distance from the dividing line. ‘This was a first attempt at anything in the line of chivalry by the “fag end,” as this corner of old Montgomery is frequently styled. Althongh the heat and dust were intense, the knights con- tended right deftly for the honors of the day, being the privilege of crowning four ladies of their own choice, according to the rales of our Dloodless modern’ chivalry.

It was thought there would be a meeting between them this morning, at Bla deneburg; but so far as known at police head- aarters Captain Payne had not arrived in th s ty up to thir afternoon. the Police re until near 12 o'clock, pending the tedious hearing of a nuis- ange case, at the conclaston of which Mr. Coss, prosecuting attorney, stated to the court that Col. Mosby was present to answer the charge preferred, and was ready to give bail for his Appearance in Fauquier county, Va. be court (Judge Dawson) said that he hat some doubts as to whether he could accept such bonds. Col, Mosby could, however, be held to bail to await a requisition from the jovernor of Virginia, and he could, if so in- clined, eurrender himself to the Virginia au- thorities, and on a certificate to that effect _be- ing produced in this court the bond would be Teleased. Col. Mosby and Mr. Barbour acquiesced in this decision, and entered into bonds in the sum of $5,000 for Col. Mesby to await a requisition, and left the court. A FIGHT INRVITABLE. Col. Mosby modestly declines to talk much about the affair, but those who know him well say that be is determined to get satisfaction from Payne, and that a tight is inevitable. es WASHINGTOSIANS AT THE [NTERVATIOMAL ScnvgtzunPest.—_Among the winnersof prizos at the International Schuetzenfest in Baitimore yesterday, were the pong rnige | Wash! ogconians: J.

The er hotei has, during the past season, erected an additional two-story dwelling within @ tew feet of the old house, and connected it therewith, for the accommodation of lady boarders, while the gentlemen occupy the old building. A new stable has also been built at the hotel to supply the place ct the one burned down last year just previous to the holding of the annual fair in town. Near the upper end of the village, and just west of the Court-house, the Presbyterians have put up a fine church. A little more than & year ago this society lost its place of worship by fire, and shortly afterward projected the new one, which will be finished in a couple of weeks. Itis of Gothic ‘a , with a ve neat tower. The whole 1s of bright red brick, slated, and neatly ornamented, rather low and small, bat quite imposing in’ comparison with the’ sur- roundings. Such an ornament to the town should have been erected in some more eligible osition, for its beauty is half concealed by ing crowded in between several small frame houseson a side street. Inside it is flashed in black walnut, with Pulpit of the same, deco- rated with panels of pol'shed birds-eye maple. On the left of the pulpit isa marble shield set into the wall, bearing the following inscription: “In wy of John Mives, D.D., for 27 years the faithful and beloved minister of Cabbin John, Rockville, and Bethesda.

An eftort has been on foot for a year or two to form astock company to purchase this property and erect a large hotel for the accom- modation of summer boarders, quite a large number coming up here from Washington da- ring each season; and the number has largely increased since the opening of the railroad, and parties bring their rarmilies here, and them- selves go up and down daily to their business. The elevation of the town, the pure air and sweet water, and the good society of Rockville, combine to make it very desirable for a summer resting place. At the lower end of the town isthe Catholic eburch, under Father Mackiu, and near by is the school above mentioned. ‘Previous to the opening of the school afestival and fete cham- petre is to be held on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of this month for the benelit of the scnool, partic- ulars of which will be advertised in Tue Stag.

Fourth match—21 yards rise—Dar. rick and Sherwood participating, but a dispute arose which put an end to the contest between these two gentlemen, the score being 19 each in 21 birds. Fifth match—Mr. Bogardus to shoot at double birds, 21 yards rise, resulted in his missing but one bird in32. It was decided to reter the decision in the fourth match to Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times for settlement. pomaistseiatbat cam ste ALLEGED ASSAULT WITH InteNT TO Kitt— Waived an Examination.—To-day in the Police Coart, Mr. ©.

Ha is described as an amiable, temperate, steady young man; prospective heir toa considerable sum, bis grandmother being wealthy and far advanced in years. He had habitually played with a pistol, and on Tuesday he went to his room and began to handle the weapon. A re- port was heard. The inmates of the house hur- ried to the apartment and found a Ball in 2 pool of blood, with his face disigared almost beyond recognition. It is sup; that the pis- tol was charged with powder and wad only. It is not known whether the shooting was acciden- tal or with suicidal intent. It is believed, how- ever, that while attempting to blow into the te of the pistol to ascertain whether it was loaded, he accidentally discharged the weapon. He was eighteen years of age.
