Twenty EIGHT WOMEN ARRESTED By THE
POLICE.-The block Of houses running from
Seventeenth to Eighteenth streets. between
Bakers alley and Cary street, is for the
most part inhabited by large numbers o
tte lowest class OF white and negro women
who live together in rags and squalid filth
and make day and night rssouna with their
quarrels aud drunken brawk. This "Five
Points" Of Richmond, long the resort o.
drunken sailors, vile negroes, and WORTHLESS:
white men, aud the constant scene Of debaI.
cherry and vice, has of late become nuisance
so intolerable, respectable people doing buSi
cess in that neighborhood have been com-
PEELED to lodge complaint with the police
authorities.

the Firss Police Station. All but one Or two
OF these women are notorious characters
