The speechmaking being concluded, Mr. Bryan held a reception, thousands passing by in line and shaking his herd. A banquet was served to a few of the notables in the Opera House cafe, after which Mr. Bryan took the 11 o'clock electric train for Washington. The reception was eutirely an impromptu one, as Mr. Bryan Was rot expected until the 14th instant. He found late Monday evening, however, that he would have to come Tuesday or not at all, and Alexandria did itself proud in providing such a handsome reception on such short notice.

Attempted Murder and Suicide. Clem Dorsey, a well-known colored man of this city, attempted to murder his wife, Hannah, by striking her in the head with an ax, and then committed suicide, in this city this morning about 4 o'clock, cutting his throat from ear to ear with an old razor. For some time past Dorsey, it is said, has been having a great deal of trou- ble with his wife on account of her loose habits, and it is said ty those in a position to know that for the past six or eight months he has been carrying a revolver, awaiting a chance to use it on the man who has wrecked his home.

Dealers Selling Woodcock After the Season is Out. Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police de- partment, called or Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney today to see what, if anything, could be dene in way of preventing the sale of woodcock in the markets. He had been advised by members of the Game and Fish Protective Asseciation that these birds were being sold and as warden of the oelation he wanted to prosecute some dealers. Mr. James M. Green, who an active member of the association, Mr. Sylvester a letter today concern- ing the sale of woodcock. In his letter he said: “The season for woodcock out.

But Mr. Mullowney cited the decision of Judge Miller, rendered some weeks ago, when a local dealer was charged with sell- ail in alleged violation of law. In it was shown by the defense that were sent here from the west and Miller held that their sale was legal. w of this decision the prosecuting at- «clined to bring a case before the rt. re is to be a test made of the law in the upper court, as persons interested in the protection of game were very much dissatisfied with Judge Miller's decision. lowney has prepared the evidence se which is to be submitted to the jury in a few days.

Last night he was at home early and appeared to be in the best of humor, talking pleasantly to his wife and children. The family retired early, his children steeping in the same reom. Abcut 4 o'clock this morning his Gaughters Mary and Laura were awakened by the screams of their mother. They hastily ran to her bedside, where they saw blcod gushing from an ugly wound over the left eye. The father in the meantime hed made his way downstairs and out of the front door. Dr. Betchel was hastily summoned. Upon his arrival he proceeded to examine the wound, and found that the woman had been struck over the left eye with a sharp instrument of some kind. An ax, which is supposed to have been the in- strument used, was found near the wound- ed woman. Laura, his oldesi daughter, then proceeded to the station house and se cured a warrant for the arrest of her father upon the charge of assaulting her mother with an ax. The warrant was given to Officer Young to serve. Before the officer arrived upon the scene, however, Georgie Hepburn, a small white boy, re- ported to him that Dorsey was lying in the alley bounded by Fairfax, Lee, Gibbon and Wolfe streets, with his throat cut from ear to ear. The officer hastened to the place named, where he found such to be case. Coroner Purvis was notified, and upon re- viewing the body ordered it to be taken to D.Maine’s undertaking establishment, where an inquest was held, the evidence being substantially the same as stated above. The jury, after being out only a few minutes, returned the following ver- dict: “We, the jury, find that the deceased, Clem Dorsey, came to his death by a wound in the throat with a razor, inflicted by his own hand. “FREDERICK BURRELL, Foreman.” The folowing letter, which was written by the deceased to his daughter Laura, was found upon him: “Laura, you must mail this letter to Mr. Dunnell just as soon as you can, as I know she will help you to get something to do, as he promised me. They may get you a clerkship or a position in the bag repairing shops at Washington. I know you can pass the civil service examination; but Mary I have some doubts, so the repair shops will suit her, but I would prefer to see both of you pass the civil service if you can. Don’t fail to mail this as soon as you can, as I want him to look up some- thing for you, which I know he will do. Your grandmother Lyles is responsible for a great deal of this, and I think you know te There was also a small slip of paper in his pocket upon which he stated that he had written a letier to Mr. Charles Bell, the bookseller, who would look after his in- terests. Dorsey was very popular in the neighbor- hood in which he lived. He was appointed under the Harrison administration to a po- sition in the government printing office, which he lost when Cleveland was inaugu- rated. This fact seemed to prey heavily upon his mind. He was afterward em- ployed at the Ballard and Exchange Hotel, en Royal street. For several months he has been drinking heavily. This afternoon at 1 o'clock the wife died as a result of the wounds inflicted. The New Revenue Collector.
