OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Case.

PosTPoyEMENT OF THE EXAMINATION or
CHARLES II. LEE AND BARBARA MILLER,
CHARGED WITH KILLING DANIEL MILLER.
Charles Henry Lee and Barbara Miller
(colored), charged with the murder OF Dam
lei Miller on The 14th instant, were brought
before Justice Blackburn at Henrco court
house Yesterday morning for examination.
The belief prevailing with the officers OF
the law Is that Lee, who Is young man Of
about twenty-one, and Barbara, who Is
about thirty-five, conspired and murdered
Daniel Miller, and then took his body from
the house and carried il half n mile TO the
Fredericksburg railroad track, near Hun
gary station, where the fast mail passed
over il and cut 1t TO pieces so badly that
the identity Of the body was only discover
able from small piece OF cloth torn from
the vest OF the deceased. Those who
found the body supposed that the man had
been run over and Killed by the cars, and
they made no ado about 1t. A few days
after the burial rumor spread that the wife
and the Young man were lovers, and that
they had put the old man out OF their way,
and then, to avoid suspicion, had placed
the dead body upon the track TO be cut 10
pieces. n,
The officers have accumulateu consid-
cradle amount Of evidence which certainly
raises the suspicion OF murder, but 1t Is
yet by no means conclusive.
Yesterday Major w. +. c. Gregory ap-
pearcd for the prisoners, and Mr.. Thomas,
the attorney for the Commonwealth, for
the prosecution. Upon motion OF the lat
ter, to enable him to procure the attend
ance OF important witnesses, the case was
continued till Wednesday week. March 1th.
Both prisoners were remanded 10 Jail.
Young Lee is the son OF Sandy Lee,
an aged and highly-respected colored
man OF Lumenburg county, well known as
a miller at the mill OF Williams d Brother
The old man was at IIenrico courthouse

commendation here. His son for some

Street Cars Granted Permission TO

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

yocating the street ears TO run down Cherry
street TO HOLLYWOOD. 1 would inform the
writer that recently the City Council has
granted the privilege to extend their llhes
down Reservoir street, which is in the rear
Of HOLLYWOOD, and 1t seems TO me will
cover the grounds that he Is aiter, unless
he wants to enter by the front gate. Some
wears AGO the ears ran down Laurel street
within two squares OF the gate. TheN
asked permission. and obtained 1t, to pun
up the track and place il on Nam rom
Laurel to Reservoir, against the WISH OF Il
good many people.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you will see that this
constant digging up and destroying good
streets, unless a necessity exists, ought 10
be stopped. Cherry street, as you wen
know. is the most level and the prsttlest
cross street we have in that section OF our
city. and il is the only street by WEIGH, iii

Miss Eva Fay was received at the The
atre last night by a very good audience,
and was successful i'm all her manifesto
tiohs.o The feature OF the evening, how
ever, was the undertaking OF Mr.. William
G. Taylor, OF the State, TO duplicate the
wire-yauze feat OF Professor Hearne. In
this enterprise there Is cabinet (made not
Of wood, but Of heavy rep), the front OF
which opens to the audience. Seated in "a
chair In this cabinet Mr.. Hearne permits
his head to be enclosed In wire-gauze
hood and his arms to be encased In sleeves
OF the same material. He Is then tied and
retied with ropes wound about his arms
and legs and made fast to the chair. All
this was done last night in the presence OF
Mr.. TAYLOR and OF the committee from the
audience, consisting OF John Z. Teller,
Gus. Warren, DIR. Chalklcy, and another
gentleman.
After binding Mr.. Hearne. rs described,
the curtain that is, the front OF the cabi-
net-was closed. In few seconds after
wardsa hand appeared at an aperture In the
curtain and grasped q handkerchief there
held. A little later guitar held at the
same place similarly disappeared. After a
little more time there was cry OF eight =
from the inside; the curtain was thrown
back, and the performer stood up free from
ropes, wires. and all other entangling alli-
ances.
Mr.. TAYLOR undertook to do the same
thing. Mr.. Hearne assisted in binding
him. The curtain was closed rs before,
and the handkerchief held at the opening.
1t disappeared almost instantly, whereat
the crowd gave Mr.. Taylora grand hurrah.

peared, and in. il anything, less time than
Mr. Ilearne, Mr.. Taylor was yelling for
"light,v and when the curtain was drawn
there he was free, the smile Of victory upon
his face and the cheers OF the audience
ringing in his cars. And there the curtain
fell.
Though there were cries OF "Speech,"
"Speech," Mr.. Taylor's modesty prevented
him from yielding to the demands OF his
enthusiastic friends.
An incident OF the occasion was that
member OF the committee after the tying
said he was "not satisfied" Mr.. Taylor
asked, "Am tied like Professor IIearnel"
eyes," was the reply. "Well," said the
amateur. "that is all undertake to do
Mr.. Teller. after the handkerchief had
disappeared so wonderfully, said that he
thought the thing was done by slipping the
arm from the wire sleeve. Mr.. Taylortold
him: "Wel, now, IL you think you can
do it, you just come in here and try after
| get through; proposition which he
cyinced no manifestation " to accept.
In the advertisement OF the entertainment
it was stated that II Mr.. Taylor performed
the feat-as he did-Miss Fay's agent would

Of any season previous. The greater por-
ton OF these were from New York, Penn
sylvania, and the New England States.
A prominent railroad official states that
quite a number expressed desire to stop
i'm Richmond, and would have done so but
for the fact that the hotel accommodations
are not as elegant as they desire, and, in
stead OF stopping in this city. they went on
to Charleston and Savannah, where they
could be better suited in this respect.
About the latter part of March or first OF
April these travellers will begin to return
