MORNING A PPEAI.
SOMETHING REGARDING HESKETH

The Tribune, of last night, says: "An
English gentleman in this city says that
it is within his knowledge that the yacht. the
Lancashire Witch, in which Sir Thomas He's
keith came to this country, was purchased and
fitted out by his creditors for him to cruise
around the world in search of q milliouaire's
daughter for wife. 1t is well understood in
England that the majority of American heir
esses are glad to exchange their coin for
titled husband"
The above is quite correct. Hesketh is an
English nobeman who is, as they say, Gin
the hands OF The Jews" He once owned im-
mense estates, and mortgaged them for large
sums. which he squandered. He is now
wholly owned by his creditors, who are
Jews, and, as is frequent in such cases, a
scheme was arranged by which he could
trrvel about in style until he could bag
American heress, who would be glad to ex
change good bank account for tile. Lori
Heskeoh and his yacht captured Senator
Snaron's daughter. and his big reception at
home. of which the papers have been so full,
was paid for by his creditors. In spite of all
these incUnherances IIesketh, he is
spoken of an Intelligent, manly fellow
who has simply been unfortunate. His
me- bod III securing a wealthy wife may be
considered somewhat peculiar on this side OF
the wafer, but in England it is recognized as
perfectly legitimate.

Miss Gray's Ear-Rtngs-IIer Lover
Charged with Stealing Them.
New York Times, lStI

Miss Alberta Gray, residing at No. 81
west Thirty fifth street, caused the arrest
last night OF Philip Levy, OF No. IL west
Eleventh street, and charged him with the
theft Of a pair Of diamond earrings, valued
at $500. Miss Gray is the daughter OF a
clergyman in the South, and she lives with
her sister at the above address. She made the
acquaintance OF Levy some months ago, and
they became very intimate. Their acquaint-
ance finally resulted In their becoming be-
trothed, and their marriage was fixed for a
date in the near future. Levy, 1t was
stated, was an insurance agent, and Is al
legged to have represented that he owned
large interest Ia an extensive clearinghouse.
According to Miss Gray's statement, Levy
called on her at her sisters house last eve
ming. During his visit she took from her
ears her earrings, and was engaged IN
cleaning them when she was called out oil
the room. She placed the earrings on heI
dressing.ta She was absent from tho
room SHORT time, and when she returned
Levy said be felt sick, and, bidding Mis-
Gray sood-evening, left the house, A

Pittsburgh and Richmond

Pittsburgh casts longing eyes in the di'
rection of Virginia. We noticed yesterday
what Mr.. WEEKS had to say concerning our
resources. At meeting held in that city
not many days since, our old friend ROBERT
WHITE, Attorney General of West Virginia,
made a speecb in which he said that he bad
assisted HENRY G. DAVIS, United States
senator from West Virginia, and his son'in-
law, Of New York, to get charter from
the State OF West Virginia for railroad
which it is proposed to build from Pitts
burgh through West Virginia to connect
with the Richmond and Allegheny railroad
at Clifton Forge, and thus make connection
with the whole southern country. 1.-The
men back of this scheme are not mere
schemers, but they are businessmen, and
mean business. The road will be built,
and that speedily. The charter is one OF
the most liberal ever given to a railroad
almost"
We quote from the report Of the meeting
"Mr. j. ID. Weeks showed upon map
the proposed route Of Senator Dayis's road
in West Virginia 10 connect with the Rich
mond aud Allegheny road. The latter runs
from Richmond to Clifton Forge. The
Richmond aud Allegheny road must be
completed, by the terms OF its charter, by
February next. Senator Dayis's road could
easily connect with the Richmond and Ale
ghany, and The two roads already started
the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston
and the Pittsburgh Southern-should be
pushed through as speedily as possible.
The wonderful resources OF West Nif-
ginia and the Valley of the James are
only awaiting outlets for their de-
veIOpment. The markets thus opened
to Pittsburgh products will be OF immense
value TO il. Mr.. Weeks read letters from
several persons expressing interest in the
subject, among them being one from Hon,
james G. Blaine.
"Mr. Kent was in favor Of syndicate
sending experts down to West Virginia to
see il the testimony given is carried out by
the proofs. That is the only way to get
people Interested in it,"
As we say elsewhere, let US take our good
fortune at its nOOd-tdc.

the diamonds could not be found. She was

Another Jmnortant Railway Move.

Our neichbors Of tho State, In their issue
OF "Wednesday last, gave to the citizens oil
Richmond very full and most interesting
account of what the live men concerned IN
the Richmond and Danville railroad had
done towards the extension OF our trade
southwark. 1t is simply marvellous that
they should have been able to accomplish
so much in period so short, f9y the fact Is
patcnt that Richmond by the enterprise OF
that road alone has had one thousand addi-
,iopaI miles OF railway provided for the
distribution OF her goods.
The Chesapeake and Ohio is being pushed
with great vigor al both ends OF the line'
The completion OF its western end VIII
open at once new field for the sale OF
Richmond goods, and when the eastern ehd
is done we shall enjoy the trade OF the fe-
ninsula, which heretofore has gone almost
entirely TO Baltimore.
The Richmond and Allegheny, despite
the dreadful winter, has not halted mo-
ment. Ii is now open TO Scottsvllie Tor
Messengers and traffic, and there is every
reason to expect that the whole line viii be
through to Clifton Forge by the 4th OF July
next. In our issue of yesterday appeared
some most Cheering news from Pittsburgh.
That city appears to be bound to have ac-
cess TO The rich ores Of the James-River
Valley: and it has money enough 10 accom-"
plish anything il sets ITS heart on. 1t Is the
weatbiest community in the United States
for the number OF it. population. We have
deposIts that must reach the Richmond and
Allegheny by branch roads, not the least i'm
portant OF which are those lying in the
county of Buckingham. A new road from
New Canton through these deposits and
the slate quarries has been projected, ana
Richmond ought to have large share IN the
management of that road. TO consider the
bearings of that road on our interests
meeting has been cllled to convene at the
Tobacco Exchange to-day at O'Clock The
tide has turned towards Richmond; let us

urge upon our men OF business TO be pre-
sent at that meeting; and we trust its de-
alterations will result in good fruit to our
daily increasing trade.
