ALEXANDRIA, ¥a., May 15, 1807. Alexandria has added Another to its list of sensations, this time caused by a man striking a young lady in the face with his fist and his subsequent arrest. At the office of the Old Dominion Fire In- surance Company on Fairfax street yes- terday afternoon Mr. Willis B. Smith, agent fcr the company, and Miss Marion Rogers, his fair typewriter, who resides in Washington, got into a heated discus- sion over the recent Steers-Kirby cowhid- ing affair. Miss Rogers championed Mrs. Kirby; thought she was perfectly right in pursuing the course she did, and warmly advocated her cause. Mr. Smith endeavored to show that Steers was in the right, and grew furious in his attempts to convince his adversary. Mr. Smith’s temper waxed hot as his ar- gument progressed, and finally, it is said, feeling that Miss Rogers had gotten ahead of him in the war of words, he suddenly drew back his arm and struck her full in the face with bare knuckles. Miss Rogers ran screaming to the office of a near-by justic: of the peace to secure a warrant for the arrest of her assailant. She was advised to go to the mayor's office for the warrant. : She did so, and in a short while Smith was under arrest. He was released soon after, furnishing collateral for his appear- ance at the mayor's. court this morning. Later the young lady. appeared at head- quarters and requested permission to withdraw the warrant, but it was not granted. Mayor Tries the Case. Shortly after 10 o'clock all the parties in the case arrived at police headquarters. Mr. Smith Had Mr. J. R. Flannagan as his counsel. Mr. Flannagan used every ef- fort in his power to get the mayor to al- low the warrant to be withdrawn, but without avail. Miss Rogers, who is tall and pretty, was put on the stand and blushingly told the story of the assault. She said that she and Mr. Smith were discussing. business mat- ter, which she was not willing to speak of, and claimed that he said some things to her which aroused her ire.- She told-him plainly, she said, that if he could not set- tle It honestly, she thought it could ‘be set- tled by law. It is claimed that she then sal “You think because others can talk about women as that other man did (referring to the Steers-Kirby case), you can do so about me, but you cannot doit, sir, I assure you. Besides, I have heard the same sort of things said about your wife as were said about Mrs. Kirby.” ‘This remark is undergtood to have caused Smith to strike her, and, she said, he did so with a vengeance. “Did Mr. Smith ever strike you before?” asked the mayor. “Yes, sir,” answered Miss Rogers. When Mr. Smith was‘put on the stand he denied that the Kirby-Steers case was ur- der discussion, but gaig Miss Rogers had made an ugly remark. , He admitted he slapped her in the face’ The mayor evi- dently believed the Stof¥ as told by Miss Rogers, for he imposed”a fine of $12 on Smith, which he paid... ;.+ Musical Assedintion.

The feature of the local wholesale pro- duce market today is the contmued low price of butter, the product being lower than ever known at such a season of the year. It is not only remarkably low, but it is also somewhat faulty, due to the charge from winter feed to grass.
