ALEXANDRIA.

O’Neal & Lunt, auctioneers, yesterday sold a house and lot on Duke street,
between Columbus and Alfred, to the German Co-operative Building Association
for $925.

The Washington Ice Manufacturing Company held its annual meeting in this city
yesterday, and elected the following officers:  G. H. H. Moore, President; J.
V. Hall, Vice President, and W. D. Hall, Secretary and Treasurer.

There was a pretty wedding at the Southern Methodist Church last night, the
contracting parties being Miss Blanch Graham and Mr. Philip Otterbach, of
Washington.  The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave
her away.  Rev. J. T. Williams officiated.

John J. Knoxville, a brakeman on the Southern Railroad, was knocked from the
top of a freight car yesterday by his head coming in contact with a shed and
receiving a very painful scalp wound, besides injuries to his back.  He was
attended by Dr. Mat O’Brien, the company’s physician.

There were about fifty persons who left here yesterday morning for Fairfax
Court House, where they went to attend the trial of Poss and Henry.  They were
disappointed, however, as the case was postponed until the February term,
owing to the fact that Mr. John Greene, the attorney for the prisoners, of
this city, was ill and could not attend court.

Harry Jackson, the small colored boy who is the main witness against his
father, Aaron Jackson, charged with murdering his child, is in trouble
himself.  Mr. Julius Driefus took the boy and gave him a home, but Henry could
not help but steal, and took a watch and some money in Mr. Driefus’ residence.
He was arrested, but he denied taking them in the Police Court yesterday
morning.  Lieut. Smith, after the trial, recovered some of the stolen
articles.

Mr. Chauncey Davis was seen at his residence, on North Alfred street, last
night by a Post representative, and made the following statement:  “I know I
have not long to live, and want to say that my name had been cruelly used in
connection with a young woman who has recently had a misfortune.  But I am
innocent, and I want the world to know it.  I have not been in her company for
the past twelve months, and I can prove this by our most intimate friends.”
Young Davis is suffering with consumption.

Miss Lucy Graves, the second daughter of W. P. Graves, of this city, left here
last night for Washington, where she will join Miss Clara Barton on her
expedition to Armenia.  Miss Graves is one of the brightest and most
accomplished young ladies in this section of Virginia.  She was educated in
the public schools of this city, where she always stood at the head of the
class.  She comes from a good, old Presbyterian stock of people from Maine,
and is a faithful worker in the Second Presbyterian Church in this city.  She
goes as Miss Barton’s secretary.

Charles Newlan, a young white man who has been working on the power house at
Four-Mile Run, came to this city Monday night last and started to spend his
hard-earned money.  He went into a house on North Lee street, where he managed
to part with his funds.  Last night he had Florence Livingston arrested on a
charge of stealing the money.  He could not prove his charges, but in his
testimony before Mayor Thompson he stated he purchased beer in the Livingston
house, and also in Kate Fisher’s.  These women were immediately arrested on
the charge of selling liquor without a license and were fined $10 each.
