The large new reservoir, bait by Mr..
Bachelor. of Richmond, for the city,
a cost of about 1850, to secure =
better watcr-supfly for our people, has
been completed. aud the water has been
turned in. This is one of the feeders
Of the main reservoirs on the Heights,
and is estimated to hold IL, 0o0, 900 gal
Ions. Our experience during the past
two droughts was such as to necessitate
preparations against trouble ia the fu-
ture.
The City Sergeant has for some months
past had in his custody time and again
some three or four boys Of tender age,
members of regularly organized gang
of snatch. thieves. The Oldest of them
il not more than thirteen or fourteen
years Of age. Their practice has been
10 snatch watches and pocket-books
from ladies and children on the streets,
and their operations have been quite
successful. Their tender years and
small size heretofore saved them from
more than sentence 10 jail. Joe Scott,
one Of the band, who was released emily
two or three days ago, was this morning
sent on to the grand jury forgrabbins q
watch from boy, and warrants are
out for others for like offences. The
boys are all colored.

act upon the charges some time ago pre-
ferred against A. w. Harris, the secre-
tsry, by X. l.. Mitchell, the treasurer,

not believed anything will result from

tempted suicide in Lynchburg on Sstur-
day night, spent some time in Peters

An Interesting Observation-Disclosures

An Interesting Anniversary Relicisas-En-
cursion.
iCorrespondence OF Richmond Dispatch
APRIL ID, 1885.
The anniversary celebration Of the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Charlottesville was held last evening in
the Baptist church. There were no
services in the other churches in the
evening, and this, together with the in
terest felt in the Association, resulted
in very large audience at the celebra-
ton.
After singing and prayer by Rev. j.
Il. Turpin the recording secretary, Mr..
J. w. Dolin, read his report. The re-
port Of the treasurer, DIR. W. G. Nor
ris, was read. The financial condition
Of the Association was shown to be
much better than ever before. These
reports were followed by those of the
Librarian, the Committee on the Rail-
road Branch, Committee on Devotion,
General Secretary, and ladies' Auxili-
ary. The General Secretary's report
exhibited the interesting fact that the
average attendance Of visitors at the
reading room was seven thousand per
annum. The present secretary, Mr..
A. 4. Hines, has been engaged for the
ensuing six months.
Interesting addresses were delivered
BY the Rev. DR.. Crane, Of Morristown,
N. j., and Mr.. Il. Z. Sheldon, Of Bal
timore, Nd. The other participants in
the exercises were the Rev. DR.. w. G.
z Starr, the Rev. Robb. White, the Rev.
G. L. Petrie, and the Rev. Ii. j. Sea-
mon. The friends Of the Association
were much pleased with the reports Of
the committees and officers ind with
the successful meeting of last night.
There can be no doubt but that the
Young Mems Christian Association has
accomplished much good in the two
years Of its existence here.

church Sunday morning on foreign mis-
sions.

The Lynchburg News Of Sunday
saws: A few minutes past IL O'Clock
last night Mr.. John X. Guy, a we'll

was entirely unlocked for by his fami-

A Lynchburg telegram OF Sunday
saws Some weeks ago John w. IRWIN
started a variety show here in connec-
ton with his saloon, and employed an
actress named Lottie Lee, from Baltl-
more. Charles Irwin, younger
brother of the proprietor, paid marked
attention to the actress, which dis
pleased John end resulted in difficulty
between the brothers, eliminating In
the elopement and marriage of the
Younger and the girl in Baltimore. The
couple returned to this city several days
ago, and were treated with great harsh
ness by the Irwin family. Last night
the bride attempted suicide by swat
loving a quantity of white lead, but 1t
is believed she will recover.
Intelligence has reached Baltimore
that on Thursday night two negroes
called at the farmhouse Of William A.
Palmer, on the Rsppahannock river, in
Middlesex county, Va, and told him
that his aunt, living five miles distant,
was i'll and desired to see him. Mr..
Palmer hastily dressed himself and
started toward the stable to get his
horse, when the negroes attacked him
and knocked him senseless with a club.
After taking from his pocket sl65 they
carried him into the house and set fire
to the building. A younger brother,
who was sleeping upstairs, was aroused
by the smoke and ran down stairs.
Near the door he fell over his brother
and dragged him from the house. The
house was destroyed. TIE assailants

A Cleveland CO., telegram of Sunday
says: At 1880 o'clock this morning fire
was discovered by chambermaid in
room on the seventh floor of the Still
man Hotel and apartment house, on
Euclid avenue, and in very short time
the entire upper story Of the building
was in flames. The clerk FASTENED up
stairs and quietly informed the fright
ened guests that there was no danger,
the building being regarded as abso-
lutely fre-proof. His reassuring tone
allayed their fears, and the guests
dressed and left their rooms. Meanwhile,
however, the flames, which originated
in room. where the scrub
bling utensils are kept, were spreading
rapidly, and the sixty servants, whose
quarters were on the upper floor, barely
had time to escape with their lives,
many losing all their clothing. 1t was
not until after hours Of hard work that
the fire was got under control. No
body was injured. The Stllman House
is the finest building in Cleveland, and
it was erected only year ago at a cost
Of about 100000. The loss on the
building is 1000, on which there is
no insurance. The guests lose slj, 900
and the servants about $4,000.

Now Gotd- Fields discovered.

An Eagle Pass (Texas) special says:
News reached here Saturday of the dis
covery of rich gold-felds in the Santa
Rosa mountains, about one hundred
miles west from Santa Rosa, New Mex
leo. The discovery was made by the
Davis brothers, who were working
profitable silyer-mine in the same range.
They have abandoned the silver-mine
and have located claims in the gold
fields. The gold lies in quartz, which
is described by old Californians as the
richest they have ever seen.
