Correspondence ofths Richmond Dispatch !
PETERSBURG, August IA, 1885.
A force Of workmen began their
labors to-day upon the new tobacco
warehouse on Sycamore street, which
Mr.. J. p. Williamson is to have erected
for the special storage Of Aue-cured
bright tobacco. The new warehouse is
to be a building Of considerable pro-
portions, and the site upon which il
is to be built is one of the most
advantageous and desirable in the city.
To certain extent the building OF
this warehouse will necessitate the re-
modelling Of several other ware

houses in town. The latter have no
accommodation for flue-cured tobacco, a
grade Of tobacco which will be culti-
vated IN this section in large quantities
IN the course Of another season. In
order to handle the bright tobacco the
warehouses must be provided with
raised floors, and doubtless every
warehouse in the city will thus be
EQUIPPED by the time the season has
fully opened. Work on the new ware
house will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. Touching the subject Of hue-
cured tobacco, it may be added that
Petersburg is about to lose
one of its best citizens and
merchants, Mr.. S. P. Arlington, who is
one OF the largest leaf-tobacco handlers
in the State. Mr.. Arlington has also
a branch house in Richmond, which
will be continued, as we'll as his busi-
ness here. A year ago Mr.. Arlington,
who is native Of Warrenton, n. c.,
sent an agent to that little town to buy
bright tobacco. The agent purchased
more than 100000 pounds of the weed,
and the field there has been found to be
such an excellent one that Mr.. AIRING
ton has already given out the contract
for the construction Of handsome and
commodious warehouse. On the COM
pletion Of this building Mr.. Arlington
will remoyeto Warrenton, personally
to supervise his business there.
Mr.. Joseph Taylor, venerable and
well-to-do farmer, died at his residence
in Chesterfield county yesterday.
This morning Mrs. Mary Short, wife
Of Mr.. G. IL. Short, Of Ettrick, died af-

General Hancock's General Orders Return-
ing Thanks to Participants In the Grant
Funeral.
IBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, August l4.-General
Hancock to-day issued general order
from headquarters Division Of Atlanta,
in which he says:
1.-The Maior-General commanding,
having discharged the duties assigned
lin by the President of the United
States in the ceremonies observed in the
funeral Of General Ulysses S. Grant,
late President of the United States and
General-in-C Chief of the Army, desires
to acknowledge his obligations to all
who took part in conducting the re-
mains Of the illustrious deceased from
Mount McGregor to the Capitol at Al
bany, and from Albany to the City
Hall in New York, and finally to all
who assisted in the sOlemnities of
Saturday the Sth instant, when the
body was borne in the funeral column
to Riverside Park and placed in the
tomb erected for its reception by the
municipal authorities of the city OF
New York. On an occasion which re-
uuired the services of 80 many official
personages it is impossible to mention
all who contributed by their zeal and
diligence to the satisfactory discharge
Of the sad duties committed to them.
Such omissions will be supplied as far
as practicable in orders issued by gen.
erals commanding divisions"
General Hancock Acknowledges his
indebtedness, and expresses thanks to
the various officers and mentions by
name several Independent commands,
among them the battalion Of four COM
panies Of Virginia State troops, Lieu
tenant Colonel NJ. l.. Spotswood COM
manding, and the Gate City Guards,
Atlanta, Ca, Lieutenant-Colonel Will
liam NJ. Camp commanding.
General Hancock says recognition of
the services rendered would be incom-
plete without formal acknowledgment
by the Major commanding of
his obligations to his staff, regular and
special, for their assiduous exertions in
their respective departments of duty.
The presence Of General Gordon and Of
General Lee, of Virginia, among the
aides-de-camp was especially gratifying.

ANOTHER VICTORY.

The NorfoIks Play Loosely and Give the Nir-
Ginias Another Game.
Only about 500 persons witnessed
the second of the games between the
Norfolks and Virginias, which resulted
in another defeat for the former club
by the score of 4 to .. The visitors
had the first chance at the bat, and in
the first inning made two runs-the
only ones made by them during the
game. The home team, on the con-
trary, were blanked in the first inning,
but made one run in the second, to
which they added one each in the fifth,
sixth, and eighth. The Virginias
pounded Henry for six hits, with
total of eleven, and on them, assisted
by the Norfolks' errors, found no diff
fculty in making their four runs.
Pyle pitched in very fine style, and
allowed only three scattering singles to
be made off him. The contest was
quite interesting, and while there was
loose playing by both sides in the COM
mencement the general playing was
very good. and it was the shortest nine
inning game ever played here. john
ston and Higgins did fine work at the
bat, and Nash, after striking out twice,
made home-run, which was the play
of the evening. While Greenwood is
charged with two errors, he made some
very fine plays on short. Such game
should have been attended by at least
three times as large crowd. Ap-
pended is the score

ETTRAVAGANT 8. ECCENTRIC.
A Sane Woman Imprisoned Twenty.seVen
Years In n Lunaiic Asylum.
.otooro IA IN tho niqt,o fch


[By telegra ph to the Dispatch.l
PHILADELPHIA, August IA
woman has Just been discharged from
the State Lunatic Asylum, where she has
been confined twenty-seven years on a
charge preferred by her father Of sex
trayagance and eccentricity." She had
been a woman of extravagant tastes
ard a society leader in her younger
days. Her father, physician, became
impoverished, but the daughter did not
accommodate herself to the changed
circumstances and continued to run up
heavy bills for dress, and finally or
dered a piano and set of furniture,
which she sold before paying for them.
Because Of this act, and to "Save the
family honor" the girl was sent to an
asylum in July, 1858. Her father
died, and his daughter remained in the
asylum until attention was called to
her case at the National Convention of
Charities and Correction, held in Wash
ington last June. Investigation de-
veloped the fact that the woman never
had been insane. and is now a woman
of sixty years, with sound mind and
healthy body. She has made her home
with a friend who has constantly la
bored for her release.
