SAD DROWNING OF A RICHMOND
LADY.
The Rody Not Recovered.

A special to the State yesterday an.
nounced that Mrs. Eloise Christian, OF
Richmond, had fallen overheard from the
steamship Wyanoke while the vessel was
passing Atlantic City, N. D., and was
drowned -.
A representative of the TIMES last
night called upon the husband of the un-
fortunate lady. He is employed at the
Richmond Paper Mills, and lives at No.
ITO South Fifth street Mr.: Christian
had also received the same sad news.
His wife left here for New York for
her health. She was ffty-two years OF
age, and was accompanied by her son,
who is about twenty-one years old: She
leaves. also. a married daughter in this
CITY. Mrs. Christian came, with her nus
band. to this city from Alabama about
two yeara ago, and had latterly been in
bad health.
Her state-room was near the wheel,
house, and it is supposed that she leaned
over too far and lost her balance. she
was of sound mind, and that death was
accidental there is no doubt on the mind
of her friends. Her sudden death was
shock to her family and neighbors, and
will be greatly regretted. No news OF
the finding of the body had been received
last night

Crockery Stolen by the Wagon-Load.

As mentioned in Sundays TIMES,
Thomas Plummer and W. s. Robinson
were arrested by Detective John Wren
Saturday for stealing crockery and glass
ware from Philips & Stein.
Plummer was the porter for the house,
and was caught in the act of passing
goods to Robinson
Saturday evening Plummer called Capt.
Angle to his cell and made statement
which implicated jeff. Thomas and James
Porter, packers for the firm.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of
Thomas and Porter, and for satisfactory
reasons were not served until late Sunday
night
From the confessions of Plummer and
Robinson, it appears that the largest por-
ton of the stolen goods had been sold to
Jane Lightfoot and Sarah Morse, two
colored women who keep a crockery stall
in the First market.
Sunday night search warrants were
secured, and Sergeant TOmlinson and
Policeman Thomas Wren, in company
with Messrs Philips, Stein and Cren-
shaw IAN employee of the firm, made an
examination of the stall and store inn
mediately opposite where the reserve
stock was kept Over four wagon loads
of goods were identified by Messrs.
Philips and Stein as belonging to them,
and were sent to the Second station house.
They also searched the houses Of Porter
and Thomas, and secured more of the
stolen property.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
Jeff. Thomas, James Porter, Thomas
Plummer, w. S. Robinson, Jane Light
foot, and Sarah Morse were arraigned on
the charge of grand larceny. The two
latter are charged with receiving the
goods, knowing the same to be stolen
All the cases were continued until to-
morrow. Sarah Morse and Jane Light
foot were allowed bail in the sum OF $500
each. The men were refused bail.
The Second station-house presents the
appearance of wholesale crockery es,
adjustment, the floor being literally GOV.
cred with plain and fancy glass and
crockeryware of all kinds.
The goods recovered up to last night
are valued at $3.50. Much credit is due

Policeman Wren in their untiring and
energetic efforts in obtaining the plumber

WHY Is THIS THUS?
The Annexation scheme.

The writer of this paragraph feels no
interest whatever in the annexation OF
Manchester to Richmond. In fact ne Is
utterly Indifferent to it. II he lived in Man
chester he should opposeit, as it is he cares
nothing about it. Yet, several items
in the committees report OF the late
meeting of the Board of Public Inter
ests need explanation: In that report
among the expenses for the first year
were one for police, $4,000. Now, the
Manchester police force has not cost more
than So 800 per annum for many years.
This, too. when the chief of police mas
been acting as city engineer: Is hich-
mond so rich that she can afford TO pay
some thirteen men to do what three
are now doing? Then the items lot
streets, $4,000; and water, $20, oOc; ana
gas, IS 800, are more liberal than Rich
mond has ever yet spent in one year IN IN
any new district Then why the $lOo'ooo
to purchase Mayos bridge? Is this ma
tural sequence of annexation, or Is IL
movement" to be engineered? Upon the
whole the sum of $lSS,5OO seems TOO
large by about $13S,OOO. JUSTICE.

was packed last night. Even the colored
gallery was filled The attraction was
vocal numbers by Mrs. Powell and Miss
Crooks and Messrs. Smith and Daniel, all
of Washington. After this came the ope-
retta of "The Lottery Ticket" The vocal
selections were not above the average,
but served to please the audience and
were heartily applauded The operetta
was light, and Mr. Smith introduced some
good song-and-dance business and was
encored. Mrs. Powell, Miss Crooks, and
Mr. Daniel in their respective roles were
acceptable The orchestra had but little
show, but their efforts, as ususl were very
satisfactory.

A Big Deed Executed by the Danville
Railroad.

The Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company have executed deed of trust
to the Central Trust Company of New
York for 81 100000. The deed was filed
in the clerk office of the Chancery Court,
of Richmond, by Colonel A. S. Buford
and Judge II. II. Marshall. The tax was
$1,000.
1t is a very lengthy document, but the
above is about the size OF 1t boiled down
and stripped of its legal verbiage. All the
property affected by the deed is minutely
described, und the provisions of the trust
are made perfect and binding for the Sc
curity of all concerned.
Richmond has been historic for big
deeds, both in time of peace and war, but
the above is one of those that beat the rec
ord
