held tonight at Washington Hall, is at
tracing, as it certainly should, a large
amount of interest. The Home sup

institution of the kind in West Vir-

truest benevolence, entirely free from
sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL bias, it is
pursuing its blessed work with becom-
ing liberality, and yet proper economy.
Let there be such turnout of our
citizens tonight, and such an express
sion of sympathy as shall stimulate
the workers in this enterprise and make
them feel that their labors Of love are
appreciated. The exercises will COM

ASSAULTED BY Vocabulary
Mitchell was arrested yesterday and
taken before Squire Johnston on a
charge of assault and battery commit
ted by her on Fred. B. Beck. The wo-
man went to Beck's boarding house, we
are told, and without a word banged
away at him with club of some kind,
getting his hand badly cut. As he was
too much of man to strike woman,
he took the proper course and had her
arrested. She was required to give bail
in the sum Of 800 for her appearance
before the Circuit Court.

Brown was arrested yesterday and taken
before Squire Gillespy on a warrant
sworn out by his wife, Elizabeth C.
Brown, who, she charges, on the I'd
day of December; did threaten her and
that on Monday he carried out his
threats and beat her. She therefore
prayed that he be bound over to keep
the peace. The Justice continued the
case until this evening at 7 o'clock, as
Brown was too much under the influ-
ence Of whisky to have hearing; and
in default Of bail, sent him to jail.

BURGLARY SUNDAY NIGHT.
/ BOLD OPERATION.
THE BUGLARs MASKED.
They Threaten to Murder

On Sunday night about IL o'clock,
Mr.. r. Shields, who keeps a small
grocery on John street between Fifth
and Sixth, and who lie suffering from
consumption, felt as if he were sufio-
eating. He rose from his bed and
opened the back door, setting down IN
a chair in front of the open door. He
had hardly been there five minutes
when three masked men rushed in at
the door and two OF them secured hm.
Mr.. Shields called to his wife, who
in bed in the front room, but hardly had
she Jumped to the floor before one OF
the robbers took her by the arm, and,
placing a pistol against her breast, de-
manded what money there was in the
house.
So frightened that she could not speak,
Mrs. Shields took a pocket book con-
tanning some three or four dollars from
her dress which was hanging near by
and gave it to him. At this the third
ruffian who was prowling round in the
store room Immediately adjoining the
dwelling picked up a huge knife used
for cutting cheese, and swearing that
he would cut the threats Of her child
rem, who were sleeping in the room, If
she did not give up all the money she
had, approached the bed where the
children lay as if to execute his pur'
pose, Mrs. Shields was now SO fill
ed with fear that she could
hardly speak or move or she
would have delivered another pocket
book to them containing 1920, but
they seemed to be thoroughly posted
and needed no information. For the
robber who held Mr.. Shields called out
to the one with the knife ITO get the
money out of the bed" The fellow
did as commanded and getting the
pocket book containing the 1920 from

the three rufflans departed with their
plumber. They took nothing from the
store at all, as we could learn
The game was boldly planned and
boldly executed. So thoroughly did
they frighten the woman that she
could give no alarm though an cutlery
would have brought her plenty OF assist
ance. She cannot recognize the men
for they were all masked and so dis
guised that their forms could not he

We hear that the same party were at
work on Mr.. Caldwelrs house, in the
same neighborhood, about half an hour
before they made the attack on Shield
