EXCITEMENT AT BLACKS AND WllITES-AR-
REST OF A FARMER CHARGED WITH HAVING
FIVE LIVING wIvES-A LIVELY SEARCH.
correspondence Of the Richmond DisDatch.l
BLACKs AND WHITES, VA.,)
January |, 1884.
On SATURDAY. morning last considerable
excitement was occasioned here by the ap-
pearancc OF a detective hailing from New
York city and i'll quest of a farmer known
bv the name OF :. l.. Harley. who resides
on his farm, about two miles below the WI
lace. The detective gave his name rs Han
kins. and stated that he had been following
the individual claiming TO be ). l.. Harley
FOR the past two years. ana mad only sue
ceeded IN placing him on the day named.
The charge brought against Harley is
that Of bigamy. il being alleged that he has
five wives living.
Mr. Hankins arrived on the night freight.
and without waiting to procure warrant
departed in the direction OF Harley's house,
in order to satisfy himself that he was the
right man. One glance was sufficient. and
Mr.. Hankins, thinking that he could play
the bluff game" attempted the arrest OF
Harley without Il county warrant. This
proved unsuccessful, however, rs Harley
was sharp enough not TO be taken IN thaI
way. and resisted with such force as TO
satisfy Mr.. Hankins that he had made a
decided mistake.
The detective thereupon retraced his
steps TO this place and swore out warrant
before Justice Burton. Two or three
young men of the place volunteered rs as
sistants. and the party returned To the
house OF Harley, which they found TO be
to all appearances deserted. The detec-
tive. believing Harley to be within. after
beng vested with proper authority, forced
the door and began the search Of the house.
and succeeded in capturing the fugitive in
a small cupboard in the cellar. where he
had concealed himself. He was brought
to this place and kept under guard until
Monday. when he was placed in the county
Jail. There he will probably stay until
taken oct on reQuisltlon from the Mary
land authorities.
1t is reported that two Of his wives are
expected here tomorrow to appear against
him.
Harley and his last wife came here about
a year ago, and though his appearance is
unprepoSsessing his wife is considered
handsome. and is no doubt perfect lady.
Mrs. Harley returned to the home OF her
parents, in Baltimore, recently. ID.

Mr.. Editor,-In your leading editorial OF
January lst the closing paragraph reads
thus:
"When [Mahone] he said that he
was better democrat than Ben. Hill he
meant 10 use the word in a sense that
would cause II TO be spelled with small
3D."
cannot understand your meaning, nei.
Their can other persons whom have asked
about 1t.
Perhaps you will kindly explain il.
The word "Democrat." with bic D.
describes member OF the party called
Democratic. The word . democrat" with
a small d. is generic term, and describes
q person who believes in government by
the people. The word Republican " Is
another OF the same sort. SO are the words
"Liberal" aud Conservative" So lin
the Congressional Record is the word
" Representative" A United States Sena-
tor is representative with a small ~ OF
his constituents or state. But member OF
the House OF Representatives is in tech
meal sense, us well as in fact, Representa-
tive with big R.)
The meaning we intended 70 convey was
that General MALONE merely claimed to be
a better democrat Qriend Of tie people,
THIN Ben. HILL.

Rough and Tumble Fight Mt Springfield,

SPRINGFIELD, July About o'clock
this afternoon word was sent to the police
station that two roughs, Thomas Garvey
and Dennis Daley, were abusing an Italian
organ-grinder on Summer street, one Of the
pleasantest and quietest parts of the city.
Patrolman Henry ". Perkins was sent to
quiet the disturbance. Reaching Summer
street he attempted to arrest Garvey, the lat
ter showing signs Of having drank freely
and making himself obnoxious to the whole
street. Garvey resisted vigorously, when at
last, seeing that he was to be Overpowercd
he drew a large clasp-kniie and stabbed
Perkins in the left breast, inst above the
heart The knife left an ugly, deep wound,
but the officer manfully kept to his duty,
firing several shots at Garvey with his revOl-
yer, but firing low. The officer, feeling himself
sinking from loss of blood. called for help
and was taken in carriage to the police
station, where he was attended by physi-
clan.
The wound is painful, and is pronounced
a dangerou. ne. The officer is doing as
well as could be expected tonight.
After the staLbing Officers Shaw, Bugbee
and Davis, assisted by two expressmen,
arrested Garvey and Daley at the house of
n notorious octOroOn woman named Liz
Gibbs, who lives on Summer street. Gar
vey, realizing what he had done fought like
an insane man 10 avoid arrest. He was
overpowered and taken to the lookup. His
head and left eye were badly cut and
bruised, while his left arm was painfully
wrenchec. HIS right leg showed savage
looking wound just above the knee, and
near one Of the large arteries. 1t was
bleeding freely. The city physician con-
