George Banister, ESQ.,. who for some
time has made himself popular with the
public by reason Of the excellent man
agement of his saloon aud restaurant,
No. Is Governor street, has capped the
climax by adding to his past fame. lie
has reftted his house, and, from top to
bottom, now gives the public compre-
hensi,c idea of what sterling honesty
and faithful service can DO in building
reputation.
Mr.. Bsnister deserves great credit.
He is a self-made man, modest and un-
assuming. and his great success is due
to his stern integrity and close atten-
tion to business. His house is open for
the entire night, but the most perfect
order prevails at all times, and none can
honestly complain of the service rem
dered. Go and see him.

MONSIEUR DE .SIBOURG.
Deaih In Washington of n Former Nice.Csa
sui Of France Here.

jean Antoine Gabriel dc SibOurg,
born at Carpentras, Department Of
yaucluse, France, August I, 1921 died
in Washington, d. c., 9th April. 1885
son of Jean Baptiest Joseph de Sibourg
and Pauline de Sibourg, nee Comtesse
de Sallmard."
The above obituary, received here
yesterday. announces the sad death IN
Washington of Monsieur de Sibourg,
who was for many years Nice-Consul
of France in this city. Having been
for long time severe sufferer, death
must have brought to him great relief;
yet those who knew him best here can
not but reflect on the neyer-to-be-re-
called happy hours which they spent in
his hospitable home while he resided
in Richmond.
Although a stranger to Us by birth
and language, yet from the very COM
mencement OF his stay among MS he
took the greatest interest in all Of our
welfare, whether social Or commercial,
and there were few men better informed
as TO the resources of Virginia than NJ.
de Sibourg. lie did all he could to en-
courage trade between this State and
France. and his official communications
to his Government called the attention
of Europe not only to our valuable fine
tobaccos. but also to our minerals, tim
bers. and wines. His house here was
not only the abode of an elegant and
refined hospitality but his hand was
ever open to rich and poor. He was a
kind-hearted and generous soul.
Socially. his place and that OF
Madame de Slbourg can never be re-
filled here. In no other house in Rich
mond did childhood and old age so
happily mingle together. each finding
its own pure exquisite enjoyment, and
all rejoicing chiefly in the happiness
beaming from the eyes Of those around
them. How many court scene from
royal France. long before the murmurS
of the first Revolution were heard, has
been witnessed in their h'n'e. and
some of the happiest memorir' OF the
children Of Richmond will al~rys be
linked with NJ. and Madam lie ST.
bonrg. ~.
His old friends here, and in ced all
who knew him. unite their sympathy
with the sorrows of those surviving.
Though as a stranger he came among
us. he but expressed the heartfelt
wishes of his Richmond friends when
he desired that his remains should rest
among us in Hollywood.
His funeral will take place from St.
Peters Cathedral tomorrow morning
at | | o'clock.

Clsverisss Trial 9Th Of Nay.

The witnesses who appeared before
the grand jury were recognized to be
present at the trial Of Cluyerius on
May 9Th. which is the first Tuesday in
May and the second day of the May
term. If both parties are ready for
trial at that time several days will pro-
badly be required to empanel jury,
and they will be lucky if they get fully
under way by the second Tuesday.
1t is possible, but not probable, that
a jury can be obtained in Richmond.
1t is not that everybody thinks i'll OF
the prisoner, but that there has been
so much mystery in the case, so much
discussion of various theories. 50 many
advocates and supporters Of this or that
idea.
The courtroom here is very small.
When the trial comes off it will be seen
that it is hardly large enough to accom-
modate relatives and immediate friends
Of accused and members Of the bar. As
for the witnesses, they will not be
allowed in the courtroom except when
testifying; at least so it was to have
been at the Police Court had not accused
waived examination.

CHESS.
An Exhibition Play Asainst the sssmb<rs OF
the Richmsnd Cssb.

the Richmond Cssb.
A chess event Of novel uor this
city) and interesting nature II expected
to come off this week at the Richmond
Chess Club-room, Rueger's building,
Bank street. Mr.. Alexander q. Sell
man. Of Baltimore, wrote some weeks
rgo to the Club that on his way to the
New Orleans chess tournament he
would stop over here and give an cxhi-
bition Of simultaneous play II
twelve to twenty games would be
guaranteed. Arrangements were at
once made, and after some delay. in
consequence Of the postponement Of the
New Orleans tournament. Mr.. Sellman
has written that he may be looked for
on Friday next the 10th instant-the
play to be on the evening Of his arrival.
Mr.. Sellman may, perhaps. claim to
be the champion player Of the United
States apart from Herr Steinitz. who
has but recently taken up his residence in
this country J, unless Captain Mackenzie,
ofNew York, would contest the honors
with him.
A recent exhibition Of simultaneous
play is thus amusingly described by a
New York paper under the caption,
"Mr. Steinitz when Playing"
"a stocky little man, with large
head. which ssuatted so closely upon
his shoulders that there was little or no
room for any intermediate neck, wan
dered up and down yesterday afternoon
in narrow passsge-way between two
rows of small tables, stopping at one
table after another as il TO correct the
work Of a number of exceedingly sad
yisaged and much-perplexed gentlemen
who sat behind them. He had broad
and high forehead, small and rather
watery eyes, the merest apology for
nose, prominent mouth, huge
red beard, and little white hands.
which, when not engaged with the
contents Of the tables, roamed about
like mice at play over his capacious
waistcoat, now and then running up
ward and losing themselves in the forest
of whiskers. He didn't stop long at
any table, but to Judge from the dcspe-
rate way in which each gentleman whose
table he visited went to work at the task
set for him by the visitor, it was evil
dent that the visitor was making it lively
for them all. The stocky little man
was Herr w. Stenitz, champion chess
PLAYER of the world, and he was en-
gagged in the undertaking of knocking
out twenty-four of the most redoubtable
chess-players of the New York Chess
Club"
Let it be hoped that Mr.. Sellman will
not knock out all the Richmond players
who are to face him on Friday next.
To the New York sketch above given
it may be added that Zukertort, vino
recently made chess tour Of the world,
and is now settled in London. claims
also TO be the champion. and has just
sent challenge to Steinitz for a match,
to be played on either side of the At
lantic.

A Canton (Ga.) special says Great
excitement exists throughout this coun-
" over threats Of incendiarism which
have been made Sgainst . number Of

Some days ago several prominent citi-
zens were arrested and taken to Atlanta
under charges Of violating the revenue
laws made BY informers. The prisoners
made statements in court which were
so conclusive that the judge ordered the
cases dismissed without hearing word
from the professionals. This angered
the latter so that they have freely in

tous remarks Mr.. Farrar stated that d,
the eleventh hour the employees ol
Powers, Taylor & Co. had learned that
the senior member Of the firm was ia

and paid all respect to their junior, nc
man could with impunity cane theiI
senior without receiving . dose Of the
same physic, and on behalf Of the em,
ployees he would then and there can,
Mr. Taylor-which he did by present
ing him with gold-headed cane. The
entertainment closed with expression,
from all that they had spent one Of tn,
most enjoyable and pleasant evenings
Of their lives.

About two weeks ago John w. Kane,
captain of the brigantine j. W. Parker,
was arrested in this city on the charge
of being cruel to his men. He was
taken before United States Commission
er NJ. y. Pleasants, and after prelimi-
nary examination was sent on to the
United States Court. A special term
Of the court-Judge Hughes presiding
was opened Monday to try this case,
and the witnesses were examined.
Captain Kane then gave history oi
the trip from Boston to Richmond, de-
nying the charge. He said his vessel
was now detained here at an expense OF
s37 day, and is bound for Rio Ja-
neiro, loaded with -four.
After hearing all the evidence Judge
Hughes dismissed the case.
Captain Kane's mate, who was held
on a similar charge, was also dis

THE CHAMPIONS WIN.
The Providence Beet the yirginias the Last
Game - fol.

The Providence Beet the yirginIas the Last
Game 10 fol.
The Providence Club played the last
of series of three games with the Vir-
ginias yesterday afternoon. The weather
was somewhat threatening, but despite
this there were about |, 200 persons out.
Play began at 4 o'clock, the visitors at
the bat. Kimber and Householder
formed the Yirginias' and Loyett and
Daily the Providence battery.
1t became evident early in the con-
test that the home boys would be
beaten, and up to the fifth inning, when
they made their first and only run, it
looked as if they might be shut out.
The struggle was a rather tame one.
While the home team worked hard,
they were unable to cope with their
opponents. and gave them an easily
won and overwhelming victory.
kimber retired five men on strikes,
but made a number of very wild
pitches, which in great measure
helped to work out the boys defeat.
The visitors punished him very severe
ly, making seventeen hits, with total
Of twenty, which, with the assistance
of few errors, gave the visitors thlr-
teen runs. Loyeit, on the other hand,
pitched a very good game, and was
well supported by the fielders. The
visitors played perfect game with the
exception of the wild pitch by Lovett.
There were no features at all worthy
Of special mention save the good batting
done by the champions and the double
play made by Householder, Nash, and
Higgins. The crowd was unusually
kind and cheered each team equally on
all good plays. The score tells the
rest

Bristol severed his connection with tho

Now that the proposed street-ralway
company has been granted the right OF
way and other privileges. both in this
city and Richmond, what remains to be
done is for the Committee on Subscrip-
tions to prosecute It's work, secure the
capital stock necessary to build the
road-about s40,000-and build it at
once. The Council here has complied
with the request of said COM
pany in agreeing to submit to a
vote of the people the question OF
this city's appropriating $4,000 to the
capital stock Of said company. There
is now some doubt, however, as to the
propriety Of taking vote on this ques-
lion. The road, if built, will doubt
less greatly enhance the value of pro-
perty here, and will certainly be a
source of great convenience to persons
who live here and have their business
in Richmond, and rice rersG.
The April term of the Chesterfield
County Court will begin next Monday.
This is not a grand-jury term, and there
is but little business to be disposed OF.

City Council will be held Friday night.
There will be some important business
to be disposed of.
