Several ladies had their pockets
picked, Saturday, while watching the
procession pass, one lady, Mrs. Sloan,
the wife of the North Missouri rail-
road agent, lost 500 cash and some
valuable papers. There were several
ladies in the party and several of
them lost their pocket books. The
work was probably done while the
ladies were crowding in store dur
ing the rain. 1t is q pity that some
of those fellows could not be caught
and severely punished.

VIM Rider seems to be in bad luck
lately. Not long since he walked off
of rapidly moving freight train and
received injuries that for time were
thought to be serious. He had but
fairly recovered, when on Saturday
evening last, he again got badly hurt
and to-day is hardly able to be on
his feet. 1t seems that he was sailing
his horses, when horse kicked him,
knocking him down. He was badly
stunned by the fall, and when he got to
his feet he fell under the feet of two
other horses, who trampled him, in
juring him badly about the head.
He is not dangerously hurt, however.

MORE RUSSIAN CRUISERS

The Chester Times of yesterday says:
1t is very authoritatively reported that
the Russian agents in this country are ne
gotiating for the sale Of the iron steamships,
Cities of Macon and Savannah, to the Rus-
sian Government for cruisers. These ships
belong to the Ocean Steamship Company,
and were launched from Roachs' ship yard
q little less than ene year ago. They are
known to be fast sailors and just the kind
for the Russians. Should the negotiations
be consummated and the above ships hand
ed over to the Russians, 1t will give to the
Messrs. Roach the building of two more
ships similar to the one launched yesterday.
The Ocean Steamship Company should sell
the ships by all means.
