Be it remembered that Browns Iron Bit

the sort Of "bit,ers" that old topers want.
1t is the greatest iron medicine in the world,
tonipg the system, enriching the blood, and
invigoratipg the life. Nobody was ever
made to like liquor by using this great
family medicine. 1t cures dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, weakness and malaria.

The ~DIinistrels.

Tomorrow evening Barlow & Wilson
Justly famed minstrel troupe will hold forth
at the Opera House. The Cincinnati Com
msrcial says Of this troupe that "a better
company than the arlow-Wilson was never
gotten together. 1t has all the artistic finish
Of the famous Hague troupe, the humor and
melody Of the Thatcher, Primrose & West,
and the brilliancy and dash of the
lisverlY. But beyond all these it has
George Wilson. There is probably not so
popular a performer on the minstrel stag
in America to day. Nature has gifted him
lavisbly, but in addition to a wealth of fun
and good humor he has a remarkably sweet
and sympathetic voice, OF good volume and
great fexibility. But this-a rare posses
sion in itself among negro comedians-is
not alone the cause Of his popularity.
lie Is a natural wit. His humor is
infectious. To see him is to laugh.
He is funny before he opens his
mouth. There is none OF that as.
sumed air of vapidity, so disagreeable in
Thatcher, nor the strsining after effect Of
Cushman in anything he does. There is
friendly bid for favor in his smile. He
winks, and yon are taken at once into his
confidence. The joke is, of course, for the
other fellow, and You laugh because some
one else is sold. Heis ike Yorick, a mad
wag, but there is much method in his mad.
ness, though cleverly disguised, that none
ever tire Of his fooling."

Justice Richardson.

Police-Justice Richardson and wife
left the city yesterday morning for the
Warm Springs, in Bath county. Mrs.
Richardson has for a few months past
been great sufferer from inhammatory
rheumatism, and he is broken down
from working all day and sitting up
nearly all night.
The public will cheerfully accord a
furlough TO this pure and able officer.
Little is the time he loses from his post
of duty, and severe always is the strain
Of labor upon him.
1t is characteristic Of the modesty Of
the man that, though no person living
can claim TO have done more work in
the Cluverius case than Justice Rich
ardson, his name has never been men
toned at all in this special connection.
He never would permit it.
That Mrs. Richardson may soon re-
cover and Mr.. Richardson be quickly re-
invigorated is the wish Of this whole
community.

burn, when at formal meeting of
Seward Post, attended by the Confed-
crate Veterans, Commander Bell, Of
Seward Post, presented to r. E. Lee
Camp. through Lieutenant Commander
Murphy, life-sized picture Of General

acknowledged the favor, paying high
tribute Of respect to him who refused to
take the sword Of General Lee, and
called on Colonel Richard F, Beirne,
NJ .i:. was present, to respond more
at length, which he did in a spirit
of patriotic loyalty and eloquence
that warmed all hearts. His assurance
that General Grant was to-day no bet
ter loved in New York than in Virginia
was the occasion for the most enthu-
siastic applause. He closed by ex-
pressing his sincere desire to have the
Auburn boys come to Richmond and
bring their ladies with them. His
e.aech was received with round after
1ai.ud of applause.

City-Attorney Charles V. Meredith
is engaged in preparing the contract
which, after conference between the
Council Committees on Water and
Finance of the one part and Mr..
peutch. Of the Newark Filtering Com
pany, of the other, it is proposed shall
be submitted to the City Council for
action.
The city will be called upon to pay
slC0,C0O after the filters have been put
in. tried for months. and found to fur
nish the people with perfectly bright,
clear, and pure water ; to contain no
thing detrimental for drinking, cooking,
laundry, or boiler purposes, and to be
free from alum.
Ii is admitted that alum will be oc-
casionally used to coagulate the muddy
water, but the water is to be freed from
that before it goes into the reservoir.
The contract will contain pro-
vision referring the alum question, when
ever it arises, to expert chemists.
The Council committees have given
this subject a very thorough examina-
ton. and their report, when pre-
sented, and, whatever it may be,
will embody the conclusions reached by
them after consultation with Colonel
W. E. Cutshaw, City Engineer; DR..
William ii. Taylor, State Chemist
Charles L. Boiling, Superintendent of
the Water-W orks, and G. V. Meredith,
ESQ, City Attorney. Certainly Rich
mond water is often unpleasant to the
sight and taste, and sometimes to the
smell. Something can be done to i'm
prove il. If what is now offered is not
the best thing, let it be rejected. But
the people want clean water to drink.
Any well-considered step in that direc-
ton will meet with popular approval.
One of this company's filters has
been put in operation here lat laundry

pure. and is nothing like as muddy as

harder TO remove the diSeolorati0H o

From TEASING TO MURDER.
A Terrible Assault on n Good Natured watch
man In an Abattoir.


New York Herald
Moses Block, of No. 5l2 west Thirty
fifth street, has for nine years past
been one Of the watchmen in the West
Side abattoir, No. $40 west Fortieth
street. He had the reputation of being
good-natured, and his easy temper often
subjected him to the playful pranks OF
some Of the men employed in the
slaughter-house.
Yesterday Block was on day duty at
the abattoir. About half-past2 o'clock
he was seated on bench in the west
ern end Of the yard when q number oil
men, on the platform above, began to
tease him. Among them was William
Barresford, butcher, also known as
- Buck" who has been involved IN
several fights. He was not employed
in the place yesterday. He was most
prominent in the teazing OF Block.
Block took matters in his usual good
natured way until Barresiord and the
others began to pelt him with pieces OF
fat. Then he told them to stop.
Barresford thereupon descended into
the yard, and advancing toward Block,
who held a pack of cigarettes in his
hand, roughly demanded them. Block
refused to give him any. Barresford
then slapped him in the face. This so
angered Block that he picked up stick.
BarresfOrd ran, and Block gave chase.
Barresford lodged under a shed, seized
pea or piece of iron weighing sixteen
pounds, and used in weighing fat, and,
doubling on Block, struck him on the
base Of the skull with it.
The unfortunate man fell on tho floor,
his blood staining the brick-work. His
assalant waited just long enough to
see the effect Of the blow and then fled.
The attack was so sudden that no one
thought of stopping him. The work
men who ran up to Block found that
he was unconscious. PatrolrAan Jacob
Feeser, of the west Twenty-seventh
street police, summoned an ambulance
from the Roosevelt Hospital. The am
bulance surgeon said that Blocks skull
was fractured. 1t is thought that he
will die. lie has wife and two chill
| dren.
Up to late hour last night the po-
lice unsuccessfully sought to discover
Barresford's hiding-place.
