HEAVY ROBBERY OF AN ARMY OFFICER.
Montgomery cambridge, negro, was ar
rested yesterday for robbing Major Will
liam II. Brown, Fifth United States artil-
lery, of a diamond ring valued at $4,000
and fine suit of clothing.
1t appears that Major Browns servant
was driving his buggy to his quarters few
evenings since, and smash-up occurred
near the city reservoir. The servant found
it necessary to leave the buggy, together
with Major Browns valise, in which was
the ring and clothing, on the roadside
until he could carry the horses to
camp. When he returned, he found
that the robbery had been committed.
Subsequently, suspicion was directed to-
ward Montgomery cambridge, who lived
near the scene, from the fact of his having
in his possession q cap and monkey wrench
stolen at the same time. a sergeant and
squad of men, together with negro
servant boy, proceeded to Montgomery's
house, and he was offered by the sergeant
s25 if he would find the ring and clothing.
He hesitated until the money was paid,
when he started off, accompanied by the
negro servant boy, with the avowed inten-
ton of getting the stolen property. Before
they had gone far, the sergeant heard the
negro boy say to Montgomery, 81 am Of
your color, and I'll tell you this Just as
sure as you get that ring them fellows will
hang YOU" Montgomery, seemingly much
alarmed, turned around, and returning the
S25, declared that he knew nothing at all
about the matter, and wished to have
nothing further about it. He was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Sergeant Cousins
and lodged in the Second station-house,
where he awaits examination before the
Mayor tomorrow.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN RoCKETTS-NAR,
row ESCAPE OF A FANlLY.-At about half
past y o'clock Tuesday night fire broke
out in the kitchen of Mr.. Timothy McNa-
mara, on Lester between Nicholson and
Heck streets, in Rockets, and on account
of the distance from police headquarters
The flames had made considerable head
way before even theaarm could be sound
ed. Mr.. Mcnamara and family, who were
sleeping in the front building over his
bakery, did not receive any notification
hat there was fire about the premises
until it had communicated to the dwell
ing and burned the main staircase down.
The position was precarious one, and II
was found necessary to get the family ont
through the sccondstory window. This
vas done through the aid of the police
and the ncghborS, WHO placed beds upon
The ground. The members of the family
Jumped safely to the ground, and the
youngest, an infant of eight months, was
let down without the slightest injury.
The fire soon enveloped the building in
flames and communicated itself to the adj
Joining building, occupied i'll the main by
Hiram W. Tyler as grocery and feed
store, and in one corner by - Mcdonald
as small grocery. This is the large brick
building erected ior the Richmond Omni-
bus Company. The roof and rear part OF
it were destroyed, together with nearly all
the stock of groceries, feed, etc., on hand.
What was not destroyed was badly
damaged. The fire department could not
get to work in time to prevent much OF
the destruction, on account of the entire
lack of water. Mr.. McNamara's property
was wholly destroyed. His loss will
amount to $4,000. Mr.. Tylcr's loss is sup
posed to be between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. McDonald's loss is estimated at be-
tween $500 and $500. Total, about O,OOO.
The insurance is as follows: Mr.. Nc
Namara is insured III the Albemarle lnsu-
rance Company for $500, and in the Rich
mond Savings and Banking Insurance Com
pany for $4,000; Mr. Tyler is insured with
the Albelnarle Insurance Company for
SO 900; Mr.. Mcdonald was not insured.

INTERESTING LAW SUIT.-Tho case of
the Commonwealth Us. P. II. Huffman,
late sheriff of Henrico, and his suretics in
his official bond, was under consideration
in Judge Meredith's court on yesterday.
Mr.. Huffman was defaulter to the amount
Of about $40, 900. Aiudgment was obtained
against him and his sureties for about
600, and execution issued and was en-
joined. The suit now pending is for a bal
ance of between $4,000 and $4,000. The
defence set up by the sureties OF Mr.. Huff
man in both cases is that the bond on
which the judgment was obtained, and
under which it is attempted to charge
them for the balance due, was not eXecu-
ted by them or by any person authorized
to execute such bond for them. The
bond given by Huffman, and in which his
sureties were supposed to have united by
the act Of their attorney in fact, William
Fowlkes, was for 100000. Upon exhibit
ing in court yesterday the power of attor-
ney given to Fowlkes by. the sureties it
appears upon its face to authorize him
to sign bond for them of $1,000 only. 1t
was understood by the County Court Of
Henrco, which took the bond, and by the
attorney in fact, who acted for the sure
ties, that the power Of attorney conferred
full authority to execute such bond as
was required by law, and for the sum
which had been fixed by the court. The
exact language of the power of attorney
was probably not noticed by the County
Court, or they would not have allowed Mr..
Fowlkes to sign the bond as attorney for
the suretics. 1t is contcndcd for the Com
monweath that the bond was properly
executed, is valid, and that judgment
should go against tie suretieS. The case
is still under consideration, and will not
perhaps be decided for several days.
