I Some malicious person or persons un
! known, have for some years past, made
| it special business to play tricks upon
| Mr.. w. w. Foulke and several of his
| relations. These tricks have been a se.
ries of annoyances, not only to Mr..
Foulke, but to numbers of other per.
sons who have been victimized by them
The method generally adopted is to
use Mr.. Foulke's name in letters adj
dressed TO various parties,-to physici-
ans, requesting them to call at certain
places to perform surgical operations !;
to ministers to perform marriage cere-
monies; bogus advertisements to news.
papers signed by W w. Foulke, etc.
Several Of these tricks have already
leen such as to incur much expense
upon strangers and persons who receiv-
cd the letters supposing them to be
from Mr.. Foulke. But performance
last week caps the climax. MIR A. Bal.
lard, residing in Chicago, received
letter from Richmond, requesting him
to ascertain for Mr.. Foulke. the price of
the best piano that could be found in
the city. Mr.. Ballard was but slightly
acquainted with Mr.. Foulke and could
not know that the signature was other
than genuine. He made the inquiries
and returned an answer A second let.
ter was received by Mr.. Ballard. re-
questing him purchase regardless of ex.
pense and ship Immediately c. o. D.
Knowing Mr. Foulke to be a reliable
man, he did SO and sent the bill for
1915. Mr.. Foulke was absent from
home until late in the week, and return.
ing received Mr.. Billiards. letter when he
sent word that the whole
proceeding was hoax. The agent of
the piano dealers came to this city, Sat.
urday, ascertained that Mr.. Foulke was
not man likely to order an instrument
and then deny having anything to do
with it, and also that he was the vic
tim of several such impositions. The
instrument was reshipred for Chicago.
These tricks have assumed most ont
rageous extent, and if a joke it has been
carried too far in this instance

George Francis Train delivered his
second lecture in this city, at Phillips

make choice of subjects for himself He
/ appeared on the stage without the for,
mality of an introduction, and proceed
ed to give an account of his travels
| and lecturing since his visit to this city
some six weeks since. He let fly few
shots at the Richmond press for its crit
icism on his previous lecture, and at our
citizens for their want of enterprise in
not having a we'll supported daily; and
then proceeded in lightning speed to
pass over the usual course followed in
his lectures, viz:-England during the
war; his speeches there Ireland; his ex
perience in a British Bastile; General
Grant; tie Pacific r. r; Woman's en-
reimbursement; Free Trade; Recent
Chicago election; resumption of specie
payment; His description of English ig-
norance of American affairs, and their
use Of the letter II. was the most anus
ing part of his lecture. He closed by
announcing that he was accustomed to
preach on Sunday evenings wherever
he CHANGED to be, and as he would re-
main in Richmond until Monday, he
would preach in the same Hall, Sunday
evening. He prom ised not to allude
to politics, leaving that for the broth
ers who speak in the morning AS Hen

Train, in turning q theatre into a

audience of many of the best citizens rs.
sembled ut an early hour. Mr. rs speech
on this occasion was IT ore coherent
than his previous ones. He appeared to
take issue with three professional classes
