Braddock House Vaccination Watch Won by Alexandria Propert y Owner
In Alexandria a court case over compulsory vaccination ended with the police judge dismissing the charges against Simp son, proprietor of the Braddock House, who refused vaccination.

Simp son opposed vaccination but said he would submit to quarantine if others in the building were subjected to it. Separately, a city incident saw a policeman fined for baton use, and guards from the Richmond penitentiary were reported to be en route to execute two condemned men, though crowds hung around the city hall and observed from a distance. A baseball game saw bank clerks defeat Robert Portner Brewing clerks 10 to 11 with Anderton and Burke as battery for the bankers.
