roushs, as in lS6l-62. rule the place ?
The decision mus, be made now, for the
issue is forced upon. The law. If it
protects at all. must protect the poorest
and most humble as well as the rich and
influential. The particulars Of the case to
which we wish TO direct attention is
as follows: Last Friday night one Mary
Livingston went 10 the house Of one Cad
Thompson. where, between them, they
raised a row, and LivinSston got worsted.
Thompson, was tried before the Police
Court and acquitted-it appearing by the
testimony there adduced that Livingston
was abusive, and refused to 60 away, sc.
Here the thing dropped, and nothing more
was thought Of it, by respectable people
at least. On Sunday morning, however,
At three o'clock. the engine Of No. l had
been taken from the e~ng,ne-house, and
taken down TO the corner Of d street and
Sutton avenue. The hose were laid, and
two barrels Of straw was in readiness for
the 6re-brand. being placed a abort dis
lance below ~Thompson's house, and near
c street. The bell was tapped a few INES,
, the straw set on fire, and the breaks ofthe
engine commenced at once. Those IN
charge Of the pipe, instead OF going to
the FIRE and putting il out, made rush to
the front part Of the building and smashed
in the front windows and completely
flooded the house and making a total
wreck Of q large amount Of costly pro-
perty, while the water passed TO almost
every par, OF the house, damaging the
house in its plastered walls and ceilings TO
the value OF $4,000, or in the vicinity OF
that amount. VIM. Pennison, I'd Assist
ant. as soon a. he heard the bell ran with
all speed TO the spot, and as soon as he
saw what WAS going on ordered them TO
take up and 60 home. During the timo
that this shameful work was going on a
portion Of the gang beat the house with
stones and endeavorsd to break in the
doors. II is true Thompson keeps q house
Of Ill fame. but she pays her license, and
has a right to be protected BY the laws,
and we do most sincerely hope that the
authorities will take this matter in hand,
and punish, TO the extreme extent OF the
law, every one who was connected with
il. None Of the officers OF No. l., we
understand had anything 10 do with
the matter. but are very much
ashamed Of those who did do It. Zone
unfortunately has a lot Of jakies who have
no, ,ha, nobleness Of soul for which fire.
men generally are notorious and in which
they take so much pride, but their whole
pride seems TO be the sacrificing OF the
confidence reposed in them By the people,
in order to revenge some pet prostitute or
some one who has not catered at all times
10 their wishes. 1t would be a credit to
Ones and a benefit to the public, If this
class was disposed Of. Will the author
tiles do their duty: Shall law and order
prevail, or shall we fall back TO the early
history Of Virginia and let the place be
monopolized BY roughs and thieves:
PREsESrArIoS.-Sa,urdsy afternoon at
four o'clock, the employees of the Yellow
Jacket mine were hoisted out Of the mine
10 participate in the presentation Of a
splendid gold watch, which was made to
Mr.. Thomas Quirk. the underground fore
man Of the mine in the new works. The
presen, was from the employees OF the
NINE and was made to show their high
esteem Of Mr.. Quirk as u miner and a
gentleman. The presentation speech was
made by Colonel Watson, and was ex-
ceedingly appropriate 10 the occasion.
Various bottles Of the best beverages in
the market were brought into requisition.
and the best Of feeling prevailed. After
spending a short time in social chats and
drinks the whole party dispersed. This
was one of those little token gifts gotten
up without any pomp or talk, and was
enjoyed by those present in a high degree.
Mr.. Quirk no doubt will always feel proud
Of this gift. not for its intrinsic value but
for what it was presented TO him and CON-
ing from the many good fellows who are
in the employ Of this company.
MRS. RANsHARr.-We are compelled TO
again call the attention Of the County Com
m~issioners to the fact that this m was,
this morning, found near the American Flat
toll house, crawling on her hands and knees.
She was taken up on IN express wagon, oy
some one, and brought to town, and IS now
in the Station House. Marshal Began in
forms US that she is not incorporate, but is a
lunatic. Good proof can be brough: 10 show
that she has not drank any intoxicating
drinks for the past six months. II IS IN
necessary for US TO attempt TO give anything
of A description Of the horrible, dirty, filthy
condition which she is.in. Suffice il to say,
il those who have the disposing OF such cases
will call on Marshal Began, and visit the
Station House, some arrangements Will De
made for her At once. Mr.. Began says II
the Commissioners do not take some action
in the matter, he will appeal to the Governor
for her relief. II we have officers, surely we
have them to perform their duties, and this
is evidently one Of them.
