WHERE Is SHARKEY?

the Detectives.

Maggie J0urdan To he "ShadOwcd'' by
the Detectives.
The excitement attending the rumored arrest
of Sharkey In Philadelphia having subsidized the
police are at FAULT once more what to do to
keep up the interest IN the matter sufficiently to
conceal their own shortcomings. Since Sharkey
disappeared from the TOmbs in such a surprisingly
simple manner the police, the detectives and the
Tombs people have been entirely at fault as to
wnere he is and have resOrted to the same old
games which were many times before employed in
the Rogers and Nathan cases by guliing the public
with rumOr which afterwards turns out to be
lalse. Thus Sharkey has been up town, and
the sapient detectives have got him within
range OF SIX blocks. The day following the in.
formation upon which was founded this informa-
ton proves to be incorrect. When again tue puo-
lie becomes anxious for news OF the lost one it Is
reported from some inland town that Sharkey has
been seen passing through 1t. The day alter 1t Is
found tnat one man heard from another man that
he had been informed somebody Ike Sharkey had
been to the place.
Toe sagacious Iorce having exhausted all these
expedients, which have lett the whereabouts Of
Sharkey as much n matter OF mystery as ever,
have determined to employ another and n still
staler method IMAM any spoken OF IN finding the
whereabouts OF the fugitive from justice. They
propose to shadow" Maggie Jourdan. and. in the
innocence OF their hearts, believe that the
woman who let the prisoner 60 is not smart
anxious days and weary nights in ''sp0ttIng" her
places Of resort without the most remote prOba-
bllity OF advancing their obi ect one iOta.
In the meantime Sharkey Is away, and seems
likely to remain so II present appearances mean
anything.
1t was stated yesterday by friend OF Sharkey,
and a man who appeared to believe that the MUIR
derer was now all right, that Sbarkey was in
Mexico, where he had arrived safely several days
ago. He intended, satd the informant to a HERALD
reporter, to make his way to Central and probably
South America. 1t Is almost certain that Sharkey
Is not in this city within thousand miles Oh It,

lamented NJ I. Maury, for Is years Superinten-

Professor Maury says in his Preface that "this
volume, together with the three graded geog-
raphies previously published and treatise on
Astronomy, forming the authors contribution to
the University Series of School Books, was COM
menced in 1885," that it is the joint labor OF his
wife, daughters and son. and constituted one of
the chief sources of their nome recreation during
their residence in England - that "there the best
sources of information were kindly and freely
opened to him;' that "this, combined with the
knowledge and experience acquired or perfected
In the superintendency of the Washington Observa-
tory, made the undertaking congenal and the &C.
cupation as charming as labors of love always
are" and that "tne aim throughout the series has
been to strip these two most important branches

mere technicalities, to popularze these fields of
knowledge and to make them as interesting and
instructive to students as possible" so far, then,

"The sun emits non-lumInous well az luminous
rays Its beams are composed also OF chemical or
active rays, as well as rays OF light and rays OF
heat, al Of which can be separated by the prism.
Tie rays OF heat are at the red end we cannot
see, but we can Ieel them. The rays OF light are
most intense in the yellow; we cannot ieel them,
but we can see them. The chemical rays are at
the violet end, and these we Can neither see nor
feel. Nevertheless highly important otiices are
assigned to them In the hysica! economy. They

VIRGINIA CONSERVATISM.

appear from the Old Dominion


RICHMOND, Jan. 8, 1874.
At a caucus of the conservative members OF the
state Senate held this evening resolutions were
adopted rearirming that plank in the party plat
form which declares In substance, that the people
Of Virginia mean to offer NO "captous hostility" to
President Grants administration; but deprecates
the passage of the Civil Rights bill as inudicious,
unwise and likely 70 prove hurtfu to both races.
This action OF the conservatives In the higher
branch Of the Legislature WILL undoubt-
edly, be endorsed by the members OF tho
partJ in the House, and, 1t IL hoped,
will have some influence upon Congress. How
ever, in view OF the great probability OF the
passage OF the Civil Rights bill, a prominent con-
servative member of the Senate has introduced q
bill providing for the assembling OF a new State
Constitutional Convention. IL Is certain that q
great EFFORT will be made to destroy the ree
school system OF virginia when mixed Schools
become unavoidable by the operation OF iedcral law:
The only way to accomplish this Is by afnendmens
to the State constitution, and hence the desire ior
a new convention. -,
The State superintendent OF Public Instruction
and the superintendent OF Public Schools OF Rich
mond city, and a great majority OF the conserva-
tive members of the Legislature, assert that the
passage OF the Civil Rights bill Will be the deatn
kneli Of the free school system IN TINS civ an~
state.
