ARHoRY SoR rBE RICHnoaD HowlrzsRs.-
Last night in the House OF Delegates Mr.
Gilman called up the bill appropriating $500
| TO the Richmond Hewitzer Company for the
purpose Of erecting building In which to
store their guns s.i''1 - -
hessrs. Armstrong, BasweIl, and Gilman
referred to. the factthat Richmond had gene
rously made an appropriation OF 5000 for
the same purpose. and urged that the State
should at least donate $500 for the care Of
these guns, which were the property Of the
State. l,aGp 1iti G;c$. ;E%Esi,Exa - i}5'
tHr. Foster moved 10 amend by making
an equal appropriation to the Light Artillery
Blues Of Norfolk, which. lie thought, was
in every way as justly entitled to the dona.
tion as any other company in the Common
wealth. i3as a<tE..a tf Eha %sfr
Mr. Gilman said the member from Norfolk
had another bill for the same purpose on the
| calendar, and be thought each should be
considered upon its, merits. II Norfolk
would deal as generously With her company
rs Richmond had done with hers, he would
willingly advocate the appropriation asked
by Mr.. Foster. .rae s,E-,. 3,yE
M. Bagwell called attention to the fact
that with $500 the Norfolk company could
not do more than care for their guns for one
year, while in the case of the Richmond
company the city had already given an
amount that, with the So00 named in the
bill, would insure the permanent security
and protection of the hoRitzer battery.
| Mr.. Armstrong said he did not like to
come between contepding parties, for one
was apt to get hurt, but he really thought
| the claims oil the Richmond company were
peculiar, and the bill before the House ought
| not to be encountered with the amendment.
Mr.. Fosters amendment was rejected.
Ar. Powell moved to amend by proyiso
that in case Of the disbanding of the Rich
mond Howitzer Company the city OF Rich
mond should deed to the State the armory
| to be built from this appropriation.
Mr.; LoVenstein said 1t would hardly be
reasonable to ask Richmond to do any such
thing, IS che had already. given the company
several times as much as the State was asked
| to donate.
Mr.. Powelps amendment was rejected,
and the bill ordered o.its engrossment.

accUseu. EeaTU 10ffeS say on Fr1uay that
on Sunday he was going to see Brown bap-
tized. AS far as he knew they were on good
terms. ...g ..- ,,
LICK IN rnR FACE. .s
Mr.. Henry Lohmeyer, the keeper OF @ 81
loon on the corner Of Eighteenth and Bresd
streets, testified that about 10 O'Clock on Sa-
turaay night Jones came into his house. A
few minutes later Brown aud the woman
came into his house, aud they commenced
quarreiling about rations. After awhile
witness said he was going to close up. Put
up the shutters and they went out. Jones
was the last to go out. As he went out
Brown gave him a lick In the face or
breast, which sent the deceased staggering
out. They were quarrelling about the way
III which the two men provided for Browns
mother and the way ia which deceased pro-
vided for his wife. They were talking about
six or eight minutes, abusing each other and
calling sill sorts Of names. After the party
left witness heard them tusseling outside,
falling against the shutters and side Of the
house. Heard somebody outside say, Come
on, come on, or the police will be after u.s."
After this the deceased came around to the
Side-door and said to Mr.. Lohmeyer, See
what they have done for me-" He hmd his
hands upon his bowels as il he was holding
up something. A white boy also came up
and said, "Yes, Mr.. Lohmeyer. he has cut
him." Witness paid no more attention to it,
and the deceased then went OF. He didn't
suspect that he was cut.
OTHER WITNESSES. s.
DR.. Levy, the physician who was called to
attend the deceased on Saturday night, was
the last witness examined. He found seve-
r,,l feet of the intestine protruding through
wound in the abdomen, and an incision in
the intestine itself Witness then detailed
| what he had done for the deceased, etc. DIR.
Levy was present when deceased recognized
Brown as the man who had cut him. About
10 O'Clock Sunday deceased said to the Doc
| tor that he had said on the preceding night
that he had been cut with razor, but since
he came to think about it he believed it was
small white.baudle pocket knife that he
knew Brown had. The Doctor next de-.
scribed the wound and gave the result Of
the post-mor!em examination, and considered
Jones's death the result Of the wound.
Captain c. p. Bigger, the superintendent
OF the AlmShouse, stated that Jones died at
the AlmShouSe about s O'Clock on SUNDAY
night, and that he was brought from the
First police station to the AlmshouSe IN an
ambulance on Sunday between II III. and l
P. ii.
rHg VERDICT.
At the conclusion Of the examination the
iurv rendered the following verdict: "That
| the said Joseph Jones came to his death on
the 10Th day of April, 1874, by wound Of
the intestine inflicted by William Henry
| Brown on the night of the 18th OF April,
| 1874"
The preliminary examination will be held
| before Justice White on the 25th instant.

Ghont, with it's 121 900 inhabitants. is one Of
tho manufacturing centres Of Belgium. Its
school-system is admirable. Ono feature in it
was unique, until d year or 80 since. It has now
been happily adopted elsewhere Seven yoara
ago, II. Laurent, Professor Of Civil Law in the
University, thought Of opening aaviugs-baoka In

tho teachers and loctured them on tho subject.
Then he went into tho olass-roomB, day after
day, ezpouuding the advantages Of saving, until
tho children were believed to 10 ready for
the project. Permission was then obtained
from tho proper authorities, and tho experiment
was tried. Tho teacher Of each class receives
the savings Of the children at any time, provided
tho deposit equals u centimo,-a fifth Of a cent |!
When child has Bayed frano (twonty conts),
he gots d bank-book, md IN account il opened
for him at tho State savlngs-Bank, which pays
por cont interest. Tho bank-books arc
usually kept at the school, but are sent to tho
ohildren's parents for inspection, from time to
time. No deposit can be withdrawn without tho
signature Of parent or guardian. Each school
keeps separate account with the State Bank,
and has an arrangement with it by which each
pupils savings are transferred to his individual
account aq aoon as they amount to franc.
