1. Fourth Judicial Circuit, Eastern District
s5of Hifginid. FFfdacis Stiddy and Others,
|, trustees, dgainst tie Atldntic, Mississippi

The report and petition OF Charles Z.
Perkins and Henry Fink, receivers, in the
a5oye-nameds cause respectfully represents
to the Gourtth a Sum OF money amounting
to about $3O,0 per month is due by the
Atlantic, mississippi and Ohio Railroad
Company TO its agents and operatives
for services rendered between the first
day of July, 1875, and the first
day Of March, 1876. The parties to
whom this amount Is due insist that their
claims are entitled to peculiar consideration
at the hands Of this court and OF the par
ties to this suit, and that under. the assu-
rance that provision would be made at an
early day for payment thereof, they have
continued to render, the road faithful and
efficient services TO this date. But more re-
Gently they have been led to fear that what
is diie them will be indefinitely postponed,
| and possibly that it would never be recog-
hized and paid.
I u Your receivers are well aware that it is no
part of their official duty to discuss the
legal or equitable status Of these claims.
They are content to leave that matter with
the Court and to the enlightened iudg-
ment of the parties to this cause; but they
are made to see more and more clearly every
day that q settlement Of the question whether
these claims are to be paid, and when, has a
most important and serious bearing upon
the future conduct and management Of the
road, and that the morale and discipline OF
the employees under them will be endan-
.gered unless adjudication Of that question
is made now. - ~
|. They represent that these operatives
are, almost without exception, dependent
upon their daily earnings for the support
of themselves and their families. The with
holding OF those earnings for so long period
forced them to contract debts which are
being pressed to collection, so that there
I is great suffering and complaint amongst
them from one end Of the road to the other.
This condition of things has already i'm
paired the service of the company, and un-
less this question is put to rest the prospect
of increasing damage to the interests OF the
road is to be apprehended.
For these reasons it is clearly the duty OF
your receivers to bring this matter to the at
tention OF the court and to ask that it be
speedily disposed Of. They believe it would
not be necessary to order the payment at
once OF the whole amount due. 1t can be
liquidated gradually, and discretion might
be granted your receivers as to the time and
manner OF its payment. But they are un.
willing longer to incur the responsibility OF
leaving this question open.
Respectfully submitted.

,Attempt to Break Jail.-On yesterday
morning Chief-of-P Police Lipscomb discov-
cred, upon entering the city station house,
that an attempt had been made by the pris..
oners confined to break Jail. But few would
have noticed that such an attempt had been
made upon entering the cell, but the prac-
ticed eye OF the Chief soon detected that
"something had drapped" out OF the
wall. He was puzzled by the queer
appearance Of rectangle in the side
Of the cell. It looked as nice as pie
lust out Of the oven, but it looked too nice.
Upon examination it was found that NUM-
Der OF bricks had been removed from the
side of the wall, and that hole had been
made sufficiently large for the admission OF
the body Of q large-size man. These bricks
had been carefully replaced, and the chinks
filled UP with crumbs Of bread, bits OF NOR
tar dust, etc. The Job was go well done
that suspicion was at once attracted to-
wards Loyelace Bland, who is q bricklayer
by trade.
Robert Quarles was supposed to be an ac-
complice In the matter. Had the plot sue
ceeded to the extent Of the prisoners getting
out there would have been but little danger
of their making their escape, as an officer
was on duty about the station-house at every
hour after that in which j" graYeyardst
.yawn,' and honest people are fast asleep.

By the way, prominent politician offered
one Of the squirrels n gravel a day or two

merchant tried the same game, and he was
bitten through and through the thumb, and
the squirrel, not satisfied with that, attacked

a CoIoaED PRE2looasR CHARGED WITH
STEALING A RING.-P Olieeman Toier and
Sergeant Hall got into d rich case last night
through the thoug htfu1nes5 Oh tMessrs. John
|HaTyler & 60. Some time during the affer-
noon a ragged, rough looking specimen OF
ID negro went into Messrs. Tyler & Co.'s
store and 6fered to sell for SO gold ring
set with eighteen pearls. The ring was q
beautiful piece of iewelry; and was eyi-
#dentlysan old family piece The negro was
Detained I'm thestore until Policeman Toler
could beSent for, and when lie came hewas
taken into custody ass 9 suspicious Tcbarac-
ter. -, %
8a Upon arriving at the Second police-station
the man was registered as Rev. Claiborne
Braxton, pastor Of Free w I'LL church, at
West Point. He was subsequently charged
with stealing the ring, valued ut $50, the
property OF some person unknown.
~ It soon became apparent that some one
else was concerned in the affair, and Ser
geant Hall, armed with o. a.warrant, started
out, and returned with Bette Jackson,
a negro woman aged about thirty years,
who lives in this city, charged with
stealing the ring from some person un-
known. Bette came into the station
house with her husband and q friend,
and there !. ensued a rare talk about
what was transpiring, each one giving; q diff
,ferent account Of where the ring came from.
The preacher stated he came from James
City county; that, he and his family lived
here, but he preached at West Point; that
Bette owed him five dollars, and gave him
the ring to pay for job OF plastering
and whitewashing. Bette, on the other
hand, says that is an untruth; that she
never had any whitewashing done in her
life, and does not now live in house that
has. been whitewashed; that he (Braxton)
called on her, and she merely gave him the
thai the Ii Ting W was gven to to- her % bv her orme or
husband, Fleming Hughes, who is now
dead, as q bridal present Fleming Hughes,
it is stated, was formerly owned by Mr..
Pleasant White, Of Fluvanna county, and
Sergeant Hall: thinks. the ring belongs to
that family. Be this as it may, the whole
subject will be ventilated at the Police
Court this morning.
