A Negro Riot.

Yesterday morning between 1 and 2
o'clock, neighborhood of negroes liv-
log on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, inside the corporation, got up a
free fight amongst themselves and some
two or three hundred men and women
were engaged in it. Rocks, sticks and
other missiles were used, but no deadly
weapons. Information of the riot was
sent to the station house and Captain
Parker with squad of police went up
but found his force insufficient to queil
it. He came back for reinforcements
and had to take all the men in that part
OF the city off their beats. They then
returned and found the war still wag-
ing. AS soon as the combatants saw
the number of policemen brought against
them they scattered in all directions.
Quite number were captured and
brought before the Mayor Yesterday
Each of them was fined SIS and such as
could not pay it were sent to jail.-Eu-

THE STATE FA1R-THE RAIL.
ROADS-LIBERAL ARRANGE
MFNTS

The following resolutions have beer
adopted by the superintendent of all
the railroads terminating in Richmond
and by Presidents Malone and Barbour
for the roads over which they respec
lively preside:
l. Persons travelling over either O
the ailroads mentioned, after the 2Stt
day of October, 1869 for the purpose
of attending the State Fair of the Agri
cultural Society, can, upon application
to the agent or conductor Of the railroad
to which they pay their full fair, obtain
certificate showing that they did so
and upon presenting the same, stamped
by the secretary of the Agricultural
Society, as evidence of their having at.
tended the fair, to the conductor of the
train on which they return from Rich
mond, on or before the 18th day Of
November following, they will be re-
turned to the station whence thew
came, free of charge.
2. Persons exhibiting with these Ger.
tlficates the proper evidence of their be-
ing life members of that society, upon
application at the office of the railroad
IN Richmond over which they came to
Richmond before their return, will be
entitled to have the fair paid on this
road by them, going to tho Fair, refund
ed to them.
3. Articles sent at the usual tolls over
the railroads, for exhibition at the Fair,
will be returned free of charge to the
70 In
they were sent; provided they shall be
still the property of the same owner and
if the person having charge of the same
shall exhibit to the agent of the railroad
at Richmond before shipping them, a
certificate from the Agricultural Society
that they were exhibited, and return
the receipt for freight paid on them in
coming to Richmond, The tolls on them
in coming will be refunded by the
freight agents of the same railroad at
Richmond, Virginia.
4. Persons having charge of stations
and other animals requiring attendance,
will be included in the conditions Of
the Sd section, subject to the discretion
of the railroad agents.
MAJOR Sutherlln expresses the opin-
ion that all the railroads in the State
will adopt these resolutions, and adds:
The Virginia State Agricultural So
ciety desire and expect very large at
tendance, of Northern men especially,
at their fair and exhibition, and hope
that the Northern and Western railroads
will extend such inducements as our
own have offered to all persons visiting
Richmond on this OCCASION. 1t is ex-
pected to be a complete exposition of
the resources of Virginia.
Arrangements are in contemplation
whereby the hotel facilities of this city
will be supplemented BY the owners Of
private houses. A cheap excursion
train running daily between this city
and Petersburg viii add the accommo-
dations of that city TO those of Rich
mond.
The Secretary of the society will be
in attendance daily at the fair grounds
to stamp the certificates furnished by
the railroad commands.

gentle stars winking, blinking and
laughing at such foolishness, be kissed

kisses, but a manly, ringing kiss that

FALL OF A STEEPLE CAP.-About two
o'clock Saturday afternoon, as TIE
workmen on the tower of st. Alphonsus
Church were hosting mp the pinnacle
or cap of the steeple to which was at
tached an immense gilt ball and cross
the whole weighing a ton-the derricSs,
by means of which it was being elevated,
broke, when the cap was within about
six inches of its resting place, and the
heavy mass went crushing through the
roof into the church below. Fortu.
nately no one was injured though sew
eral men were working in the tower at
the time. They heard the cracking OF
the timbers in time TO reach place OF
safety before the crash came. The acct
dent is thought to have been occasioned
by the top of the two derricks being set
too far apart, causing them to bend in
ward so much that when the weight all
came on the ends of the timbers they
had to break. The loss will be consid'
cradle.

ARRAY at the Water Works
AN ENGINEER saoorsA FIREMAN.
QUARREL ABOUT A CLosRT
Particulars Of tire Affair.

| 1SStciudy lbohuiuS duouG IL O'CLOCK
the town was startled by report that
Conrad W. Wiekham, better known as
"Coon wickham,n engineer at the City
Water Works, had shot and killed Geo.
st. Meyer, q fireman at the same institu-
ton. ..
AS is always the case in such matters,
thousand stories were flying round,
some ofthem ola most outrageous pat
tern. On going to the scene of the
melee, we learned that not only vas St.
Meyers not dead, but that he had fought
a pretty severe battle after being shot.
1t seems that there has been ill-feelins
between the two men for some time, and
yesterday morning, On Wickham's reach
ing the Water Works, he told st. Mey.
ers, who was employed by him, that be
guessed he'd have TO get another part
ner," meaning thereby that he would
discharge him. To this St. Meyers re
piled "All right, sir.n Wickham then
went and sat down on bench at the
door, and st. Meyers came out and
called him thief, saying that he had
stolen silk dress pattern and a pair
of shoes from the steamer Sallie List.
st. Meyer then went in and opened a
cupboard he claimed as his, but which
Wickham says the city of Wheeling
owns, and commenced taking out its
contents. Wickham ordered him to de-
sist and called in persons to witness
that he told him not to take it. st.
Meyer paying no attention to his orders,
Wickham went forward to compel ODE
dience, when they grappled. AS they
were together, so close that when the
shot was given the burning powder set
fire to ST. Meyers shirt, the pistol was
discharged, the ball entering the body
just over the tenth rib. AT the same
moment, Wickham says he was knocked
down by blow from some weapon in
st. Meyers hand.
The report of the pistol attracted
John Anderson, who is also an engineer
at the Works, and he ran in and took
the weapon away from the two men,
who were fighting for it,
AS soon as he could get up, Wickham
ran up the hill and St. Meyer after him.
A street car just then passing, Wickham
jumped on and st. Meyer with his pistol
drawn came to the rear end of the car
and raised his weapon as if to fire
through the vehicle. There were four
passengers in it, and to say they were
frightened doesn't half tell it.
Wickham finally got away, and going
to the Jail placed himself in custody of
Mr.. Faris.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
examination was had before Squire
Johnston, where most of the bove facts
were developed, and the rest we got
from Mr.. Wickham himself.
As it is impossible to tell how Mr.. st.
Meyers wounds may result, Drs. Baird
and Allen, who were called in the case,
failing to find the ball, the case was aa-
journed until Wednesday afternoon at
two o'clock, Wickham giving bail in the
sum of $1,000 for his appearance at that
time.
The report of the shooting caused in
tense excitement, and not long after
wand st. Meyers brother was arrested
at the Water Works, armed to the teeth,
and swearing he would kill Coon Wick
ham.
