RIP VAN WIHKLE.-There seems to be q
sort of fatality attending our efforts to bring
before the public Rip Van Winkle, and to
remind them of the exact evening of his
awakng. One would think that we our
selves had taken nap somewhere about the
time that Rip was about to wake up. We
can only account for our announcing him
ahead of time on two occasions on the score
of our anxiety to hear him, and being un-
willing to give him time to shake off his
heavy sleep.
RI p rse "Johuny Reb," also "Johnny
Reb's Wife," nevertheless "American
Eagle" alias Colonel Farrar, has made bis
appearance among us in his different per-
sons, and Individually and collectively he
has never failed to produce flattering re-
suits. As humorist he cannot be excelled.
His earnestness rs speaker is well attest
ed By his exquisite pathetic passages, and
in blending these two so as to heigbten their
effect we have never known him to fail.
Ills fresh effort in the person Of modern
Rip Van Winkle possesses all of these
characteristics ; some say to higher de-
gree than any of his others and we are
surc that he will be greeted tonight at the
Exchange concert-room by large audi
encc of his warm admirers in Richmond.

appeared that Ryan went to Mr.. Lyons on
Wednesday asking aid in order to procure
himself an artificial arm. The aid was

pants which had been left in the Office just
before Ryan came in. Ryan was sent on

raigned on charge preferred by Ryan for
trespassing on his premises. The trespass
was charged against the officers in the dis
charge of their duties. They in turn
charged Ryan with perjury in making oath
that they had trespassed on his premises,
he having given his permission. :.
Several policemen testified that Ryan had
not only given his permission to search his
premises, but had insisted that they should
do 80.
Messrs. Murphy and Tyler were dis
missed, and Ryan was sent on to answer the
additional charge Of perjury.

THE New Masonic HALL AND ITS
NAME.-The new Masonic hall, that beau
tiful edifce on the corner of Main AMI
Third streets, is now nearly finished, and
the Board of Directors have agreed to name
it after st. Alban, whose history as given
below will be read with interest by the
craft
When the Emperor Carausius had shaken
off the Roman yoke, in order to establish an
empire in Britain, he brought into his do
1ninions the best workmen and artifcers
from al parts; all of whom, under his
auspices, enjoyed peace and tranquility.
Among the first class Of his favorites he
enrolled the Masons for their tenents he
professed the highest veneration, and ap-
pointed Albanus, his steward, the prlncl-
pal superintendent OF their assemblies.
Under his patronage lodges and conven-
tons of the Fraternity were formed, and
the rites Of Masonry regularly practlced
TO enable the Ma5ons TO hold genera!
council TO establish their own government,
and correct errors among themselves, he
granted to them charter, and commanded
.ilbauus to preside over them in person as
Grand Master. This worthy knight proved
Jealous friend to the craft, and assisted
at the initiation of many persons into the
mysteries of the Order.
To this council the name of Assembly
was given, and an old MSS, which was de-
stroyed, with many others, in 1920, said to
have been in the possession OF Nicholas
Stone, curious sculptor under Inigo Jones,
contained the following particulars;
"St. Alban loved Masons we'll, and che
rished them much, and made their pay
right good for he gave them ij5. per week
and ibid. to their cheer whereas, before
that time, in all the land, Mason had but
penny a day, and his meat, until St. Al
| ban mended lit. And he gott them char
ter from the King and his COUNSEL for tC
hold a general counsell, and gave 1T to
| name Assemble. Thereat he was him
selfe, and did helpe to make Maeons, anc
gave them good charges"
Albauus was born at Ferulam (now st
Albans, in Hertfordshire,) of a noble fami
| ly. In his youth he travelled to Rome
where he served seven years under the En-
! peror Diocletian. On his return home, by
the example and persuasion of Amphibalus
of Caerleon (now Chester) who had accom-
panied him in his travels, he was converted
to the Christian faith and in the tenth ant
last persecution of the Christians was be
headed, 4. D. 303. Thus, St. Alban wa
the frs. who suffered martyrdom for tn
Christian religion in Britain.
In the development Of speculative Ma
sonry the craft will ever remember will
grateful regard st. Adams, st. Bernard
and William, Archbishop of Canterbury
Hence it is with profound gratitude the Ma
sons, who have erected the new hall, hav
agreed to style it " St. Adams Hail."

NEGRO WOMAN SHoT.-On Saturday night
at about half-past o'clock negro woman
named Mary Ann Hill was accidentally y
shot by two boys, on Clay street near the
corner of Tenth.
1t appears that she was passing from her
home, on the extension Of Tenth street be-
yond Clay. As she reached Clay she heard
some one walking behind her. She turned
to see who they we're, and Just as she did
50 she was fred upon by one Of two small
boys, and received three buckshot-two o;
them in her right shoulder and the third in
her right arm. She fell to the ground, and
when she recovered from her fright she
found the boys standing near her, and she
asked them what they shot her for; tc
which one of them replied, {" It was an ac-
cident." She raised g cry Of " Murder, u
when one Of them told her if she wouldn';
halloo he would give her his name. She
got up, her wounds being but slight, and
seizing him, carried him to his home.
She recognized him as the one who sho
her, and got from him his name-James
Baker, aged about twelve years. The
youngster was subsequently, arrested ant
conveyed to the station-house. He pro
tested that the firing was accidental, anc
was bailed for his appearance before the
Mayor this morning in the sum of $3.50.

LOCAL MATTERS.

CONSIDERABLE FRACAS ON MAIN STREET
BETWEEN NEGROES AND SoLDIERs.-Quite a
difficulty occurred on Main street near the
corner Of First, on Saturday afternoon, be-
tween two soldiers and two negroes, which
threatened for time serious consequences,
and which resulted in several right sore
heads. The soldiers were passing along
the street, and noticing the negroes gather
ing ashes from an ash bank, commenced
pelting with stones and brickbats. The ne
grocs, after asking them to desi5t, returned
fire, one of their missiles telling SOL
dier named Ryan, and another striking
the second (named Manson) over the eye.
Ryan was placed horS du combat but Man
son was not seriously hurt. During the
tracas one of the negroes was badly cut
with knife in the neck, and the
other beat hasty retreat, followed by
Manson and others. He took refuge in the
store of Mr.. Newman, on Second and Main,
where he was protected by Mr.. Newman.
The other negro was not seen afterwards.
The soldiers were carried to the station
house by policemen Charters and Hawkins,
who arrived upon the scene in time to pre-
vent further difficulty. Ryan was in an
insensible condition when carried 10 the
station house, his hurt being Of a serious
nature. Manson was cut very badly over
the left eye.
The case will be heard before the Mayor
this morning.

RoBBERTEs ExTRAoRDINARY.-We are
often called upon nowadays to record
depredations upon citizens living in the
suburbs, and have repeatedly spoken Of
the organized bands of msrauders who
seem to have license to plunder as much as
they please. But within the last few days
the climax has been capped by series of
systematic robberies commencing at the
toll-gate and being continued up to the
head of the Brook turnpike. The raid
crs commenced first at Mr.. Waldrop's,
where they took fifty chickens; from Mr..
Rennie's, just above, they took all his cab
bage from his neighbor they took fifty
chickens; they broke into Mr.. j. B. Young's
stable and took all of his harness they
next took from Mrs. Anderson King twenty
five chickens and fifteen ducks and wind
ing up at Cardinals at the head of the turn
pike they carried off twenty-five chickens.
Where they will end we ore not yet pre-
pared to state, but We hold our pencil in
readiness to report further depredations.

LENTEN REGULATIoNs.-The Lenten sea-
son approaches rapidly, and soon the faith
full and those inclined to be religiously
fashionable must put great restraint upon
their apetites and inclinations to gaiety.
Archbishop Spalding has published the
following regulations for the Catholics of
this archdiocese:
81. All the faithful who have completed
their twenty first year, unless legitimately
dispensed, are bound to observe the Fast of
Lent. 2. They are to take only one meal
day, excepting Sundays. 3. The meal
allowed on fast days is not to be taken
until about noon. 4. At that meal, if on
any day permission should be granted for
eating flesh, both flesh and fish are not to
be used at the same time, even by way of
seasoning. ). A small refreshment, COM
monly called collation., is allowed in the
evening; no general rule as to the quantity
Of food permitted at this time is or can be
made, but the practice of the most regular
Christian is never to let it exceed the fourth
part Of M ordinary meal. s. The quality
of food allowed at q collation. is, in this
diocese, bread, butter, cheese, all kinds of
fruits, salads, vegetables, and fish. Milk
and eggs are prohibited. /. General
usage has made it lawful to drink in
the morning some warm liquid, as tea,
coffee, or thin chocolate, made with
water. s. Necessity and custom have
authorized the use of hogs lard instead of
butter in preparing fish, vegetables, etc.
.. The following persons are exempted from
the obligations of fasting Young persons
under twenty-one years of age, the sick,
nuraing women, those who ore obliged to
do hard labor, all who, through weakness,
cannot fast without great prejudice to their
health. 10. BY dispensation, the use of
flesh meat will be allowed at any time on
Sundays, and once day on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with
the exception of Holy Thursday and the
second and last Saturdays of Lent. II.
Persons dispensed from the obligation Of
fasting on account Of tender or advanced
age, or hard labor, are not bound by the
restriction of using meat only at one meal
on days on which its use is granted by dis
pensation. Others dispensed from the fast
for other causes, as we'll rs those who are
obliged to fast, are permitted to use meat
only at one meal"
