To the Editor Of the State Journal.

mond into eight wards, which has been
kept closely a secret. 1t is rumored upon
the streets that this matter will be decided
at the meeting of the Council on Monday
evening next.
wish to ask few questions:
LIST. Is it just and fair that the tax
payer should be kept in ignorance of an
important step, which involves the well
fare and interest Of the city ?
I'd. Is this proposed change of the
wards, (which will necessarily entail upon
the Taxpayers an enormous cost intended
to secure the election Of certain members
Of the present Council Or why was
such move made ?
Sd. Is it not true, that the present Coun-
Gil has involved the city of Richmond 10
debt of $668,000 more or less, as can be
shown by Mayor Keiley's report
The above are pertinent inquiries, and
hope they may be promptly answered.

PoLIcT CoURT.-On Saturday good
" "companie" of galoots were before
Judge Good to account for infraction o
the ordinances.
Our old and valued friend Tommy
Hopkins, always brother of pretty Polly
Hopkins, how d We do, was arrested on
Friday night at the corner of Union
and Market streets, full as tick. Tom
my has been arrested thousand times
before and always before went along as
peaceable as lamb. This time he
refused to be locked up, knowing that
another course of geological study was
his if he got before the Police Court. So
Tommy resisted and fought manfully
for his right to liberty and the pursuit
of benzine. The result was that Tom,
my came into Court with a Mansard
roof over one eye and the other beauti'
fully calcimined. He was fined 81 and
costs or ten days for being drunk and
IS and costs or twenty days for resisting
the officer. Tommy received his ticket
to the geological academy for the thirty
days with a good deal of reluctance.
George Boyce, who has just returned
from the penitentiary where he labored
year for having stolen a lot Of Ger
man almanacs from ihe Baltimore and
Ohio railroad depot, was arrested for
lounging in the Second Ward Market
House. He had crawled under a
bench to go to sleep, after having been
ordered off by an officer. After being
taken to the calaboose he made a
schedule of his effects to Alex Wallace.
They consisted Of a barlow knife, plug
of tobacco and halfpint of whisky.
Not having any shekels he received a
ticket to the geological accadamy for
ten days.
Frances Yates, who was arrested
some time ago for being in boys cloth
ing, and who is noted social evil, was
arrested on Friday evening for being on
the street after hours. She was fined
$40 and cost and sent to Castle Kenne-
dy for twenty days in default.
Owen Conrey was arrested on a
charge of having been guilty of disor-
derby conduct on Friday. On consider
alton of Owens pledge to abstain from
drinking for two years he was fined but
81 and costs and judgment suspended.

A Coon ARRASaK,HNT.-On Satur-
day the Wheeling Iron and Nail COM
pany leased q. W. Phillips machine
and blacksmith's shops, in North
Wheeling, for the purpose of repairing
the old and making new machinery for
the Top Mill, and will commence work
as soon as soon as a settlement is had
with the insurance companies. The
engines lathes, planners, screw cutters
and drill presses in Phillips machine
shop are in splendid order and were all
in operation Saturday morning. BY
securing the shop for making repairs
the Top Mill can be got ready for bust
ness much quicker than by any other
plan, as they will have the machine
and blacksmith shops under their own
control and can drive the work forward
without delay. We are glad to see
that our friends of the Wheeling Iron
and Nail company are determined to
"push things" so as to get their factory
going again in the shortest possible
time.

REDWOOD ITEMS.
BESwoop, September 9, 1871.

BESwooD, september y, 1911.
Editors Of the Register:
During this week we have had little
excitement on two or three occasions,
but not the kind, however, that is ap-
proved of by peaceable, law-abiding
citizens. On Monday nights fight took
place at the Benwood Mills. 1t origin
ated about a buggy-a buggy without
horse, harness or driver-the kind Of a
buggy that is used in a rolling mill for
the purpose Of carrying hot iron from
the furnace TO the squeezers. The buggy
referred to is often the occasion OF dis
putes among the men, but on this occa-
sion high words and ugly names did not
suffice to quell the anger of the parties
who became involved in a dispute as to
who should use it first, go they resorted
to blows, the result Of which may be
summed up as follows:
Two bloody heads and a broken nose,
A pair of black eyes and some torn clothes,
To the man who was down, SO the story
goes.
Wednesday night, about ten o'clock,
Mr.. w. G. Smith, quiet and inoffen-
sive citizen, was assaulted by some un-
known person and badly bruised about
the head and face. The assailant was
concealed behind a wood-pile, and as
Mr.. Smith was about to pass he was
struck with brick or some other sharp
cornered missile which knocked him
seaseless, and as there was no one near
at the time, he was at the mercy of the
assassin, who used him up pretty badly.
Friday night there was an attempt
made by come sneak-thief TO gain an
entrance into the Benwood Store, but
the Waterman of the mill, who goes on
duty at II o'clock, happening to come
along the rascal was frightened off.
1t is great pity the Waterman had
not oversight himself that night, for if
he had not came along the thief would
probably have met with a warm recep-
ton, such one as would not have put
money into his pocket but air-holes
into his worthless carcass. There were
two young men in the store, who were
wide awake, just waiting for Mr.. Rob-
Der to enter, but, fortunately for him,
the Waterman appeared and frightened
him away. Yours, &c, ROBBINS.

HORSE THIEF CAPrURED.-It appears
that the capture of the negro, John A.
Cave, on Friday, is more important
than it was at first supposed. He was
arrested as a fugitive from justice
charged with having burglariously
entered the house of Harvey Bell,
another negro, and stolen various arti-
cles therefrom. 1t has turned out since
his arrest that he stole q gray horse
from DR.. Campbell a short time since,
and, after shaving the name and tail,
took the animal to Ohio to sell. He is
the same negro who was acquitted of q
charge OF burglary in entering A. Len
mons cigar store in this city.
