wants Eighteenth street Paved
RICHMOND, August 0, 1885.


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please do me the kindness. through
your columns, to cali the attention Of
the Street Committee to the importance
Of paving Eighteenth street between
Main and Cary. l understand the pre-.
sent plans are to patch or pave sDou.
half the distance between Main ana
Cary. TO conform to the new grade or
new pavement on Main street. now,
this patch. for many and very good
reasons, will not do on Eign-
teenth street. In the first place,
there is no cross-street in the city
over which as much heavy hsuliag
is done. The largest part OF all the
coal moved in Richmond passes over
this short space, and much the larger
portion of the heavy freights from the
different steamboats, landing on the
dock find its way to Main street over
this same Eighteenth street between
Main and Cary, in addition to the large
engines and heavy machinery from two
or more Of our largest foundries. This
patchwork on the street is nuisance,
and with which all sensible men are
disgusted. 1t is useless and silly ex-
penditure Of the city's money, for We
all know that where as much as foot
needs patching many yards are torn up
and repayed. 1t is good for the patch
ers, but bad for the people. Long
ago officially called the attention OF
the committee to the necessity and i'm
portance Of this cross-street, bat for
some reasons beyond my comprehen-
sion the work has never been done.
NV confidence in the judgement and
intelligence no less than the common
sense business capacity Of the committee
warrants me in the belief that to call
their attention to the facts in this case
is all that is necessary.
So hoping, | am, respectfully,
II. METzGER.

MURDEROUS THEOLOGIANS.
A Dispntstion After Church That Was FIN
ished with Razor and Axe.

i.hed with Razor and Axe.
A Washington telegram says; James
Grey and James Gallagher, two colored
men living in an alley in the lower part
Of the city, attended church together
this morning, and on their return seated
themselves on the steps Of their respec-
tive houses and entered into theologi-
cal discussion. Ii was not long
before quite an animated dispute
arose. While the argument was at its
height, Gallagher, becoming angered at
a remark made by Grey, attacked the
latter with a razor and slashed him sew
eral times across the back and arms.
Grey managed to pick up an axe that
was lying near and dealt his aSsailaut a
heavy blow on the head, which felled
him to the ground with fractured
skull. The police interiered, and both
men, bleeding profusely, were taken to
the station-house, and from there re-
moved TO the hospital. Gallagher will
probably die.

THE CARPENTER CASE.
Five Thousand Dollars More Delivered Up
Accused Before the Police Court.

Five Thousand Dollars More Delivered Up
Accused Before the Police Court
On Sunday Thomas w. Carpenter
delivered up to Mr.. Mark Downey IS, 900
more. The night previous he had sur
rendered to him 3l5,000.50. These
two sums and the $4,000 left here by
Carpenter in Mr.. Schoolcraft's safe
make q total of s25, ,000.50 in money
recovered by Mr.. Downey. The market
value of the $50, 900 Of bonds distracted
was $4,000. Carpenter has house
on north Tenth street worth from
$500 to $4,000, which he and his wife
propose to surrender to Mr.. Downey.
VI this is done, Mr. Downey has no idea
of disposssssing Mrs. Carpenter as long
as he lives.
Carpenter was three DAYS in Winni-
peg and was offered q situation while
there, but he was so full of remorse for
what he had done that he could not get
his own consent to stay. While home
ward bound he met at Kanawha Falls
a friend, in whose nominal custody he
came to Richmond. His friends do not
expect that he will be able to escape
conviction, but they think that, under
the circumstances, the jury will give
him the lightest possible punishment
and they will then appeal to the Gov
ernor for mercy.
Carpenter said yesterday that Mr.
Schoolcraft and Mr.. Downey had beer
to him in this great extremity the bes
friends he ever had. He will max,
good, as far as possible, Mr.. School
crafts loss of $4,000.
The case against Carpenter wa
called in the Police Court yesterday anC
continued until to-day, on motion of de
fence.

ton at Bethany Park Yesterday.

The Indiana Christian Ministerial Association
met in the tabernacle at Bethany Park yesterday
morning, President H. X. Pendleton, of New AL
bany, presiding. Goodness in the Ministry
was the text for his annual address, in which he
reached the conclusion that GOODNESS consists in
the right disposition of the soul towards God.
Out of the eighteen times the word goodness"
is used in the New Testament it is used twelve
times by the apostle Paul in addressing young
ministers Goodness is the only thing that can
keep minister faithful. 1t makes his work
acceptable to God, and brings down the blessings
of God on his labors. Many other points were
discussed, and he closed with an exhortation to
cultivate godliness
In the afternoon W. n Draper, of Indianap
oils, was made recording secretary of the
association. Other officers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows President, II. w
Everest, of Irvington; vice president, H. O.
Broaden, of TeVre HGute corresponding and
statistical secretary, H King Pendleton, of New
Albany; treasurer, c. ". Martz, of Indianapolis.
