Rev. j. II. Barnes has just closed
meeting Of days at Liberty church (Bap-
tist) with the accession Of twenty-eight
members. 1t will be remembered that
this is the church at which the old
Dover held its last Association. The
good seed sown then have now brought
forth an abundant crop.
When Mr.. Barnes took charge of this
church some years ago it was compara-
lively weak, and was able to employ
preacher only one fourth of his time.
1t is now one Of the few churches out
side Of Richmond Of the Dover Asso-
citation that employs pastor his whole
time. This is the distinction between
a preacher and pastor as made at the
last Dover Association. Mr.. Barnes
commences his next pastoral year on
the lst of October in the county Of
Middlesex. Our loss IS the gain of
others.
Fodder-pulling is now at its height.
The corn prospect is above an average,
potatoes pretty good, peanuts splendid,
pasturage very bad.
This is the hitting year for the mast.
and what few hogs the cholera has left
have before them an abundant harvest
Of acorns, chinquapins, and grapes.
1t is needless to say that Fitz Lee Is
acceptable to this section. lie is more
than that-he is its first choice. He
will hold his friends, will win recruits,
and will disarm some of his enemies.

Disaster.
The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the fire in that
city Thursday night, brief mention Of
which was made in the Dispatch yes
terday:
In the midst of their slumbers nine
families were aroused in the fve-story
tenement No. 236 west Nineteenth
street at midnight last night by the cry
Of fire. The flames had broken out on
the third floor in the rooms OF Michael
Phalen. His wife gave the alarm and
made her way with difficulty to the
window. Walter Wallace, in the ad-
joining house, SWING her into his room.
The other inmates ran for the fire
escapes in the rear, but found them
without ladders from one story to an
other. Many of the frightened tenant
were forced to drop from platform to
platform, and thus escaped.
An alarm brought the frsmen in
short order, and the men Of Engine
Company No. ii and Truck Company
No. l2 were the first to fight the
flames.
Smoke and fire were pouring from
the fourth-story windows, but thirty
five foot ladder was run up, and in a
jiffy a pipe held by two fremen was
playing on the burning mass within.
There were two other firemen holding
the line half way down the ladder, an
other at the foot, and number at work
underneath. Suddenly there was a
sound Of cracking wood. The ladder
broke short off at the third floor and
the five firemen on it fell in heap on
the sidewalk. All were injured, as
were also two others who were stand
ing near by.

Coles Circus.

This morning all the little folks will
think about Coles circus the first thing
when they open their eyes. Richmond
is.a great circus town, and never fails
to testify its appreciation Of the pre-
sence Of the elephant, the spotted-face
clown, the monkey, the men and
horses, and the wonderful things that q
circus always brings. Cole is said to
be first-class Snowman, and to-day
will do his best to tickle everybody
who will 60 out to the head Of Marshall

street parade will take place this
morning, and there will be two per-

the audience as the speaker Of the occa-
sion. Mr.. Reed said that he had been
sent for to do aspecific work. Todothis
he should have to speak over the heads OF
the audience, inasmuch as the students
to whom alone he expected to
speak were seated in the rear
Of the chapel. He also play
fully said that the venerable
president had intimated to him that he
was to be brief, and had even limited to
him the subject Of his address. Bear
ing this in mind, therefore, he should
not preach to them nor moralize, for Of
preaching and moralizing there was no
lack on this hill. Nor should be un-
dertake fights Of oratory, nor rounded
periods Of flowery and poetic language,
for of this the students themselves
could furnish an abundant supply. But
he should be purely secular in what he
had to say. Mr.. Reed then announced
his subject as "Work." No satisfac-
tory description Of the address could
be given unless full notes had been
taken. The subject was handled with
considerable force and illustration. The
students were warned against idleness
most earnestly, and it was impressed
upon them that no excellence in any
department of learning could be attained
without the most faithful and pains
taking labor. They must work if they
would win. The address was well re-
ceiyed, and at its conclusion the presi-
dent announced that schedule Of
work was mapped out on the
bulletin-bosrd, and that the students
would meet the professors tomorrow
morning to have their work assigned.
II was said that over SO Of the last
years students were on hand, and that
there were 80 new ones ready to ma
triculate. Others are still expected,
and it is supposed the number will
soon reach from ITO to 100.
At the Union Theological Seminary
4 new students arrived to-day, making
Is new ones on the second day. A
few of last years students also re-
turned to-day. The opening address
at the seminary will be delivered on

Freeman ). Carter's Ltlie Game 10 Raise
ssi5 Frauduientlr Fails when the Cbees Is
Presented at the Bank.
Yesterday morning the mail train
from Washington brought to this city a
check for collection. 1t came through
Adams Express Company, and was
taken to the Planters National Bank
for collection, subject, Of course, to the
usual restrictions and regulations Of the
express company. When the check
was presented at the bank it was seen
that it was drawn by X. II. NJ. Harri-
son, of Richmond, for s9l5, and made
payable to the order Of Freeman j.
Carter, who gave the express company
his address, No. 200 Thirty-seventh
street, New York.
The cashier here promptly refused
payment until he could communicate
with Mr.. Harrison, who does business
as q druggist on west Broad street, at
No. l0l. Mr.. Harrison pronounced
the check fraud, but upon examining
the signature could not deny that it was
not his own. Payment, Of course, was
stopped, and Chief-of-Police John Poe
was notified of the transaction.
A close scrutiny Of the check showed
that it had been made out differently
from the universal custom Of Mr.. Har-
rison. The Freeman J. Carter" as
written on the face Of the check, was
in a different handwriting from that
seen in the name endorsed on the back
of it. The check was dated erich
mond, Va, September 3, 1885," and
was placed in the Adams express office
for collection September I'd. The last
check issued by Dir. Harrison was num-
bered DDS, and this fraudulent check is
numbered 900. This, and the fact that
the check is identically like those used
by Mr.. Harrison, and the further fact
Of the similarity Of the signature, leads
to the belief that whoever Freeman j
Carter may be, he must have had some
knowledge of Mr.. HarrisOn's business
and methods of work.
The New York detectives have The
case in hand, and to-day an effort vii
be made to find Carter. The check ha'
been returned, and the express com
pany will send man, accompanied BY
an officer. to Carter's address in New
York to-day and ask for him. lie viii
expect the money. and if he comes for
ward to claim it will be identified anC
arrested.
The trick was not very sharp one
but the work as far as it went was wei
done, even if it did fail to bring out tn
money.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispetch'l
NORFOLK, September a. 1859.
Quite sensation was produced on the
streets to-day by q rencontre at the
Norfolk and Western depot between
Congressman James ID. Brady, OF the
Petersburg district, and Mr.. John w. Ii.
Porter, editor Of the Portsmouth Enter
prise. Mr.. Porter went to the depot to
look for Colonel Brady, and found him
in the ladies' car of the train about
leaving for Petersburg. Porter asked
Brady to walk out on the platform,
when the latter refused, whercupon
Porter commenced the assault by strik-
ing Brady in the face and hitting at him
with a heavy cane, the cane striking
Joe Brady, the Colonels son. Before
Brady could do much, except to strike
Porter with cane once, several OF his
friends present pitched into Porter, and
the conductor Of the train and Police
man Roberts appearing about the same
time, the fight ended. No arrests were
made, and Brady left for Peters
burg and Porter for Portsmouth. The
difficulty grew out Of an editorial
in the Enterprise on the 9th of July re-
hecting on Brady's private character,
and a severely personal reply to the
same in a circular distributed through
out this section the early part of the
week. Colonel Brady arrived here on
Tuesday to superintend nominating
meetings held in Norfolk county on
Wednesday and Thursday. There ares
number Of versions Of the affair, but
the above appears about as near as your
correspondent can get at the facts.
Preparations have already com
menced for the reception to be given
General Fitzhugh Lee by the Demo-
Gratis Of Norfolk on the 9th of next
month. 1t will be in every respect
one Of the grandest oyations extended
to political speaker here.

C. Marshall returned from Washington
to-day, where they went ona mission in

They were assured by all the officials
of the Navy Department that more

that there would be good supply Of

money and absconded with it. They
are Charles II. Brown, trustee OF wash

be in Canads. The Board Of County
Commissioners have called special ses-

variously estimated from s5o'o0o 70
5000, 900. Great excitement exists.
