CHARGED WITH FORGERY Thursday
afternoon Detectives Edelin and Mattingly
arrested n young man in Washington who
gave his maine as q Is. Chnuncey, allaSGeo.
Butler, alias c. NJ. Shammy. He was
charged with having passed forged check
for $40 purporting TO have been drawn by
VIM. H. Wheatley 4 Sons on John ii.
Shulz. There were several other forged
checks found on the prisoner. The largest
one was for $500, which, it is charged, he
had tried to get cashed at discount. lie
stated that he belonged in this city, but re-
Gently came to Washington from Baltimore
He was locked up in the sixth precinct sta
ton. On Friday morning when the station
keeper went to his cell to remove his break
fast dishes he found the prisoner suffering
from three gashes in his throat, which he
had inflicted with the knife sent with his
breakfast. Several more cases in which the
prisoner is supposed to have been implca-
ted came to light that day. Robert Fanth,
proprietor Of billiard saloon, and Cathar-
inc Bruce, with whom Chauncey boarded,

of John H. Shelton and Andrew Archer,

A Row AT MIDDLEBURG.-A colrespon-
dent at Mddleburg sends us the following ::
The town OF Middleburg, usually so quiet
and orderly, was the scene of considerable
excitement on Wednesday night 1t seems
that large number of negroes, probably
about hundred, had congregated there to
attend all auction at one of the stores and
to spend their harvest money. One of them
being drunk and disorderly, Town Sergeant
Davis attempted to arrest him. Heresisted
and the crowd of negroes ocked to the
rescue. Davis called some white citizens
for assistance and about half dozen, all
who were present, it being very late, joined
him, when most desperate fight took place,
in which the color line was distinctly drawn.
The whites we're badly used up, not one OF
whom escaped without some injury. How
ever the alarm soon became general and
when more whites appeared on the scene OF
action the blacks took to their heels, but
not until two of their number were arrested
and lodged in Jail. Davis and one other
white man had their heads badly cut with
stones thrown by the blacks, and all the
others were more or less bruised. No
negroes were seriously hurt. Some of the
whites were armed with pistols but forbore
to use them. One more arrest was made
on Friday, and no further trouble is appre'
hended."

DOMESTIC D1ssoLUTIoN-Some excite
ment was created in this city on Saturday
by the wife of Mr.. Dan Germann, who lives
on King between Pitt and St. Asaph streets,
leaving her home quite suddenly, taking
with her all the money belonging to her
husband and herself, amounting to over
500. Mr.. Germann, with Justice Talaferro,
went to Washington late in the day and
found his wife in the house OF relative
near the Maynard. He endeavored ny
threats and persuasions to prevail upon her
to return home or give back one half OF the
money, both of which propositions she de,
clined to comply with, but finally gave him
back about 500, claiming the 500 as her
her own. The cause of the separation, il
is said, was family quarrel. The couple
have one child, which the wife left in this
city.

LUMBER TRADE.-There are now twenty
five saw mills in operation between Lynch
burg and Danvi!Ie, near the Virginia Mid
land Railway These mills are all locate ed
in shipping distance of the railroad, and are
in compass of about thirty miles. 1t is
safe TO calculate that they will produce an.
nually $50, 600 feet of lumber to each mill,
making total of 80, 800, 900 feet of lumber,
worth at the place of shipment so per thou
sand feet, aggregating to the manufacturers
the handsome sum of So ,250, 900. This lum-
Der section was opened up to the markets
about ten years ago by the extension of
wha, is now the Virginia Midland Railway
from Lynchburg to Danville. 1t is thought
by some that the freights paid for lumber
shipments over this road amount to the
handsome sum Of sixty thousand dollars a
year.
