High water a. m. and 8:52 m. Weathkb this section fair to-night and during the greater po lion of Tuesday overling or winds shifting to southeasterly; slightly v. armer 'i'UUS'lttj ANNOUNCEMENT.

The tbo Gazette have de? termined to reduce price, the Dtiiy from Six to Five and ihe Tri-weekly from Foijh to Three Dollars per annum, this rate to go into effect on the first of nest January. Tho object df this will bo to bring the Gazette wit'iin the reach of all, placing tho Daily edition at the small sum of Tex Cents tee Week. As it is, the paper is regarded as the sine non of most households in Alexandria and tho surrounding country, and this reduc it 13 believed, will eventually render it equally indispensable iu others In the year to come, in tho pxst, every exertion will be used to make the Gazette attractive, and to fill it with all tho current news. Charged 'with and Florence Jackson, colored, were arrested yesterday morning on the charge of causing the death of their nineteen-months-old son Eddie. Tbe family reside in a shanty in the north? eastern part of the city.

The circum stanct of the child's death are cruel and revolting. For some time its health had been wauiug, aud of late symptoms of pneumonia became well-marked. On Saturday night the child's fither administered a severe beating to it, u-iug a tbick leather strap with a buckle attached as an instrument of torture. Harry, a twelve-year-old son, gave some damaging testimony against nis father, alleging that the castigation wa? administered because the sick child wouldn't walk, and that after it was dead his mother burned the strap The child's body, front and back, bore evidences of the cruelty to which it had been subjected. After the arrest of Jackson and his wife Dr.

Purvis, the coroner, was summoned, aud he order? ed the body to be taken to Undertaker Demaine's establishment, where the following coroner's jury was summon? ed at 8 o'clock last night: C. J. W. Sum? mers, Frank Evans, Dr. Julius Dienelt, Louis Brill, Edgar Warfield, and William Davis.

Dr. Smith, with Dr. Purvis, made the tem examination, and stated that tbe child had symtoms of pneumocia, and that he thought it was bad treat? ment that caused its death. He did not think that the punishment tbe child received was the direct cause of deatb. It was the neglect of the father in not securing a physician to attend the child that caused its death.

Thejury return? ed the fol'owinc verdic' "We, the jury, find that Eddie Jackson came to Jiis death by brutal treatment and gross neglect on the part of the father, it ap? pearing to thejury that he had beaten the child and otherwise ill-used it while it was suffering from an attack of pneu? monia, aud also failed in furnishing proper medical aid." Jackson and his wife were brought before the Mayor this morning. Their son Harry was put upon the stand and he stated sub? stantially as before the coroner's jury? that bis father bad previously whipped his sick brother and that on Saturday night he kept it up to within a short time of his death. The little witness cried piteously and imploringly asked the Mayor, "Where is my little brother." The child also stated that his father had threatened to beat him if he told on him. Another boy, younger than Harry, was next examin? ed. He soon proved to the court that his mother had beeu rehearsing him bis part, and persisted in looking out of the window or to tbe floor when ques? tioned.

The mother iu her testimony said the father had strapped the child some time ago, and that the bruises on the body were caused by a fall. Jack? son testified to the same effect. Tbe latter was sent on to the grand jury. Jackson is a low-set negro who came here from Maryland some years ago. and it is said killed a man in that State.

Since he came here he has been several times in the clutches of the po? lice. A few months ago be was sent to the chain gang for robbing Mr. Lee's store, on the corner of Queen and Pitt streets. On that occasion it was evi dent that be had sent his son Harry into the store after plunder, some of which was found in his house. Case Arring ton was before the Mayor on Saturday night charged with stealing money from tbe person of Barney Bennett.

The latter was not present and the case was postponed until Monday, the 23d, Yesterday Bennett was found and brought before Mr. George Taylor, who saw Arriogton with his hand iu a mau's pocket. He said Bennett was not the man he saw robbed, but he knew the victim by sight and would ascertain his name and have him brought in court. Bennett testified that he had been robbed in the "Peters? burg" saloon on the 4th instant, while drunk, and that-Arrington was in there at the time. From this it would seem that two men were robbed in the place on the same evening, as Taylor is posi? tive he saw Arrington with his hand in the pocket of a man whose name he does not know, but whose face is familiar to him.

Taylor, after witness? ing the act, reported what he had seen to Officer Deane, who in turn reported the matter to Lieutenant Smith, and the latter went to work on tbe case. It was at first supposed Bennett was the man Taylor saw Arrington robbing, as it was known he had no money when he went aboard the vessel on which he is employed and that he bad said be had been robbed. Arrington is a mem? ber of a gang of suspects which have caused the police no little trouble for several years. He is a son of Alphonso Arringtou. Since the death of the latter's wife tbe grandmother has adopted the children, and, with the aid of supplies furnished by the city, man? ages to eke out au existence for herself and grandchildren.

William lives in the house with them. On Saturday night after the court adjourned, "Buck" Taylor, one of the suspected gang, and to whom recently serious charges hava been laid, of late, it is alleged, made threats against Mr. Taylor, the material witness iu the cas? against Arrington, stying he "would do him up." A war? rant was sworn out for his arrest on the charge of intimidating a witness. The authorities have already thrown sev'-ral bombshells into tbe ranks of this gang of suspects, and they have determined to wage war-to-the-knife them until such warie upou the community are obliterated. Indicted for Highway Robbery.

Harry Pose and Thomas Henry, the two young men of this city who are charged with assaulting and robbing Mr.AlexanderMcClintock nearEdsall's station, Fairfax county, a lew weeks ago, were indicted by the grand jury of that county this morning for highway robbery. Tho prisoners were arraign? ed and plead not guilty. The trial of the case was then set for the second day of the January term. Poss and Henry will be represented by Messrs. John H.

Greene and Louis C. Barley, of this city. The prosecution will be conducted by Mr. Janes M. Love, Commonwealth's Attorney, and Mr.

R. W. Moore. Ex-Mayor Strauss, Officers Atkinson, Ferguson and Ticer and Constable Webster, of this city, were among the witnesses in attendance this morning. Mr.

Strauss testified to sell? ing Mr. McClintock a pair of panta? loons which Henry had in his posses? sion a few seconds before he was ar? rested and which he threw behind a door in Richard Burnett's saloon when Officers Ticer and Crump entered. The policemen testified to having searched the prisoners and found Mr. McClin tock's knife in Poss's pocket. The Al? exandrians returned home this evening.

Police following cases were disposed of by the Mayor this morning: Celia Carter, colored, arrested by Officer Arrington for being drunk and disorderly, was fined $5 or given 30 days in the work house. Aaron Jackson, colored, arrested by Officer Wilkinson charged with causing the death of his nineteen-months-old son, was sent on to tbe grand jury. A young colored man, arrested by Officer Bettis for being drunk in the streets on Sunday, was fined $2 50. A young white man, arrested by Offi cer Hall on a similar charge, was fined $2.50. Two men, arrested by Officer Atkin? son for disorderly conduct in a house on Prince street, were fined $2 each.

Two saloon keepers, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, were fined $12 each. William Arrington, charged with robbing Barney Bennett, had bis case postponed Saturday night until Mon? day, the 23d. Night night was clear and cool. Five prisoners and ten lodg? ers were at the station house. Two Men Ed? ward and Robert Tyler, brothers, tbe former 35 years old and the latter 19, sons of Mr Daniel Tyler, of lower Fair? fax county, were drowned in Pobick creek, near Accotink, about nine o'clock yesterday morning.

The two men had recently been cutting wood, during which time they had set rabbit gums in the woods. Yesterday morning they started out for the purpose of examin? ing their traps and undertook to skate across the creek to them. The older brother was in the lead and before he was aware of its existence he ran into an air hole. The younger brother was but a few feet behind him, and before he could stop he, too, ran into the opening. Both men cried for help, but before assistance could reach them both were drowned.

The bodies were sub? sequently recovered, being found under the ice in almost a standing position a few feet from where they broke through the ice. The older brother leaves a wife and three children. Selling Liquor on police yesterday arrested two men (one white and one colored) for drunken? ness on the streets, and they were fine $2 50 each this morning and held as witnesses against two saloon keep? ers who are known to have sold them the liquor. About twenty people, white and colored, who had been seen going in and out of their places were summoned as witnesses. The testi? mony was positive and conclusive, and the accused were fined $12 each.

War? rants were issued for the arrest of two other persons who were charged with keeping their saloons open on Sundays. One of the witnesses, a colored barber, who generally says be enters such places on "Sundays to shave the pro? prietors, in his testimony this morning said that was bis business in a saloon yesterday. The fact, however, that the saloon keeper had a ten-days' beard on, sufficiently disproved the assertion. The Electric work on the new power house of tbe Wash? ington branch af the Washington, Al? exandria and Mount Vernon Railway has been somewhat delayed during the past few days by the cold weather, but is far enough advanced for some of the floor girders tojbave been placed in position. The building will not, how? ever, be completed before the middle of January, and it will be February 1 later before the road will be in opera? tion.

The construction of the track from tbe driving park to Fort Runyou ia progressing rapidly. Nearly all the erading has been done at Four Mile Run, tbe most troublesome portion of the road, and ties have been distribut? ed over nearly its entire length. The laying of the iron will be begun in a very few days. Christ very large con? gregation was present at Christ Church yesterday to greet the new rector, Rev. Berryman Green.

Rev. S. A. Wallis, of the Theological Seminary, assisted in the services. There was a full choir and the music was ex? ceptionally good.

Mr. Green took for his text, Psalms 31, 19th how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear hi3 sermon was both interesting and instructive. He is a logical and forci? ble speaker, with no attempt at ora? tory. The entire congregation was much gratified at the favorable im? pression the new rector has made. At night Mr.

Green held sorvices agai which were well attended. He was assisted by Rev. T. P. Baker, of South Carolina.
