MARKING Down STOCKINGS. - The
Nashua IN. H. Telegraph tells a story of
two rival storekeepers in that town who re-
Gently run each other" on stockings, The
first trader marked down the specimens at
his door, and after his rival had passed, and
noted the change, resumed the former prices.
The trick was repeated every morning for a
week or more. The second trader was not 10
be undersold. Upon arriving at his store he
each morning marked his stock few cents
under his rival. At the end of the week the
second trader was selling stockings, which
cost at wholesale twenty-five cents, for five
cents. This was the first traders opportu-
nifty. He engaged the services Of several
girls ard boys, and before the second trader
was aware OF the fact his whole stock Of
stockings had been transferred TO the coun-
ter OF his rival at five cents per pair, aud
were being sold by him as "a bankrupt lot
al great sacriflce"-and yet at profit.

The New FIRR. ESasE FOR CHURCz Hill.
The announcement that the new steam fire.
engine for Church .Hill would be tested on
the basin bank yesterday at O'Clock p. N.
attracted number of persons to witness It's
performance. The trial was between the
new engine and the Broed.street steamer a.
About 2 o'clock, everyth being In readi.,
ne5s--the engines stationed In the vicinity Of
the packet Office, on Eighth street.-The
squirting commenced. the new steamer, nan-
aged by Mr.. Horace Edmond, leading of.
The exhibition was very interesting, espe-
ciiiiy when steamer A was put TO work, the
pipemen of the two machines stand
ing side by side, while the boys
shouted as first one d and then
the other of sheeugines would /" beat" The
result was that the pew engine threw stream
of water about 100 feet-twenty- FIVE feet In
advance Of steamer GA" though neither
was worked TO its full capacity. The new
engine worked not only very steadily, but
beautifully better than was expected iu-
deed, when it isremembered that the boiler
has not yet been entirely freed from grease
and the valves and other portions Of the
steamer are so new. In view Of all
the circumstances it woS decided that there
should be another trial before the engine is
turned over TO the city, ut which time her
makers-Messrs. E,tenger j. Ednond-ex-

spectators that it viii throw Q stream Of

METHOD ST SUNDAYSCHooL SoCIETY.-Tne
regular monthly meeting OF this Society was
held at Trinity church Sunday afternoon at
4 O'Clock. a. l.. West (president) in the
chair c. P. Rady, secretary, y. l.. Sims, US
si>tant.
The meeting was opened with prayer by
Bishop Doggett, and singing by Trinity
school. .r
Rev. A. G. Bledsoe, at the request of the
superintendent, gave very interesting ac-
count of The condition and prospects Of the
school. The school is in its usual prosperous
condition. The attendance is larger than
usual this season OF the year. The school
needs teachers during the summer months.
Mr.. Richard Irby, ex-president of the Soci-
ETY., made an interesting address; subject,
"Tbe Desert" He made very instructive
comparison between the Desert of Sahara,
with its siroccos, and the desert In the moral
world. He concluded with an earnest appeal
to all to seek salvation on the terms OF the
gospel.
Rev. John E. hwards addressed the
meeting-subject, The Model Sunday
School, He drew graphic picture of q
Sunday school, in which the bishops and
ministers of the church should be officers
and teachers In conjunction with the lay
men, and all the parents, guardians, and
members of the church shall be sitting side
by side with the children of the school. This
he considered the natural result OF the Sun.
day school. In conclusion he congratulated
the schools on the amount Of good they had
already done, and urged the workers to
never grow weary.
Bishop Doggett then addressed the meet
ing, giving Il very interesting account Of hs
episcopal tour in the West, relating great
many very striking incidents of his travels.
This address was full OF earnest appeals, and
made very marked impression on the au.
dicnce.
Rev. Mr.. Meyer, of Baltimore, who has
recently taken charge Of the Methodist Ger.
man Mission chapel on Clay street, being
called upon. gave very pleasant statement
of the condition and prospects of the church
and school under his charge.
Tue singing on this occasion was admira.
bly, done by the scholars OF Trinity school,
and consisted of pieces selected from the re.
vivaI hymns sung by Messrs. Moody and
Sapkey in England with such great effect.

. ARRIVAL OF COLONEL MAYo-HIs ExAMI-
NATION TO TAKE PLACE TODAY Colonel
Joseph Mayo, late Treasurer Of the State,
who was recently discharged from the West
ern Lunatic Asylum, arrived In the city yes
terday in charge of Captain James NJ. Tyler
and Sergeant Benjamin Howard. He was
not expected here until this morning. In.
deed. it was his own suggestion that he
should not leave Staunton until last night.
but as the newspapers had given publicity to
that plan, and as some curious people would
have haunted the train at the country sta
tions, 1t was no doubt better that he should
antici plte them and get here ahead of time.
q. Colonel Mayo was carried to the First sta
tion.house, and made as comfortable aS cir.
cumstances permitted. He was visited by a
number of friends during the day. There
would have been quite o rush had it been
generally known be was n the city. Yester-
day afternoon General Bradley T. johnson,
Colonel W. W. Gordon, and Mr. j. A.
Lynbam, of Colonel Mayo's counsel, sought
an interview with the Police Justice with the
view of making arrangements for hearing
for bail, but as the Commonwealth's attor-
ney was not present, and could not be found
in the short search made FOR him, the matter
was laid over until this morning. Anumber
of witnesses were subpGuaed to appear at the
Police Court this morning at 9:30 o'clock.
Since Colonel Mayo's arrest Colonel De-
Witt, one of the most important witnesses
Tor the Commonwealth, has died. Another
witness on Que side or the other, Mr.. Raleigh
T. Co>ton, is quite sick iu Abemarle
county.
Colonel Mayo spent last night at the First
station-house. and slept on mattress laid in
the Office. He is not near so cofpulent as be
used to be, and looks somewhat older than
be-did when be left here, but otherwise
seems to be unatered, and his friends say be
is in good spirits.

CHARGED WITH STEALING PIG-1RoN-THE
merits OF New LAW To BE TESTED.-Ben.
Cooper, Isaiah Turner, Andrew PoiudeXter,
Frank Myers alias johnson, and Henry
Petit (colored), were before the Police JUS
tice yesterday morning charged with stealing
quantity of pigrou, the property OF
Messrs. w. E. Tanner 4 Co. MIR. A. d.
Tinsley, proprietor of a junkshop on the ba-
sin bank, was charged with receiving por-
tons of the iron knowing it to have been
stolen. Messrs. Tanner 4 Co. recently pur-
chased from the furnace on the canal above
the city ten tons Of pg-iron, which when de-
livered at their foundry weighed only 20,9l5
pounds, whereas it ought to have weighed
-, 400. An investigation proved that about
$40 pounds were concealed on Captain Ben
jImin Cooper'S boat, and that led to the
arrest of Cooper and his hands, Tur-
ucr and Polndextcr. Isaiah Turner,
who was appointed to watch the iron while
il was lying on the canal bank, was unEaith-
full to his trust, and sent OF two or three
bags of it in charge of venerable sinner
named Smith to be sold to some junk dealer,
Johnson alleges that he ''found" some OF
the iron and carried it to Mr.. Tinsley to be
kept until the owner could be a-certained.
Pp,it's connection with the theft Is not very
clear, except that he escaped from the officers
Saturday night, and was only rccaptured
Yesterday morning. Three or four lots Of
pg.iron were found in MIR. Tinsley'S posses.
sion. All of the pigs were broken up, and
some of them appeared to have been
broken up recently, as they showed no
sign of rust at the ends. The officers
who made the arrests, and to one Of
whom it is represented Henry Petit made an
important confession, being absent, The Po-
lice Justice continued the case until to-nor-
row. and ordered them TO be summoned and
the iron in question to be breughtinto court.
Mr., I linsey and Captain Cooper were bailed.
The law uader which the accused are
to be prosecuted ewas passed by the Gen
e5al Assembly at its last session at the earnest
solicitation OF Richmond dealers in pig-ron.
It was approved March 90, 1875, and reads
as follows. ;,
..Be it enacted By the Genera! assembly OF
Virqinia,. That any person receiving or buy
ing pig.iron or railroad iron Of any descrip-
ton from any one except the manufacturers,

OPENING SERVICE AT SY. ANDREWS CHUHg,
This neat and comfortable little ediice was
opened for Divine service on Sunday after
noon at half-past 5 O'Clock. In spite of, the
bad weather the church was 6led to oyer.
flowing, and rarely has congregation as
sembled that showed such sincere interest or
which seemed more grateful and rejoiced at
the success which In so short u time has
crowned the efforts of the faithful band who
have been labOring in this field for, the last
seventeen months. The building is very
handsome, and will seat upwards Of two hunJ
dred persons. The enterprise began I'm a
Sunday school In little building near Holly
wood, where, In spite of The many incopYe.
nlences, the work so grew upon their hands
that larger building became necessary. The

The opening services were full OF spirit,
with fine and hearty congregational singing.
The Rev. Dallas Tucker read d-the evening
prayer, Rev. DR.. Minnigerode reading the
lessons and then delivering an opening SER
mon, which riveted the attention Of the
whole congregation. He referred In feeling
terms to the blessing which had attended
the mission, and pointed out from his text
(Romans, x: 13, IA. 15) the course che con.
gregation was to pursue to secure the Divine
favor and make The church blessing to
themselves and to all around. A deep earn.
estness pervaded the congregation when he
offered the building to Almighty God, and
prayed that it might become true temple
of God praying, working, living, loving,
and holy. .1.rs
Nowhere in Richmond s there greater
promise OF usefulness, and the new church
will no doubt have the sympathy and gene

The church will be consecrated by the
Bishop on St. Andrews day, the 3Oth of No.
