senator Malone left for Washington on
che early train this morning, though 1t Is
understood he will return 10 the city To-
morrow IN time to cast his vote for the Re-
nnblican ticket nc the Fourth-Ward polls.
II Il currently rumored to-day that the
Generals not at oil pleased with the con-
dition OF things here. His opinion Is that
thew are very much mixed. His brief
speech TO the Republican mass-meeting last
night was one OF encouragement to duty
without any Boosting as to the result. His
remarks could hardly be called speech.
To SLY the least, from the present OUT
look. the r. suit OF to-morrow's election IN
Petersburg Is doubtful. The friends OF the
citizens reform movement are very nope
full. and are offering to bet on victory. But

day states that Mr.. Charles Baker. who was
recently shot by Mr.. Arthur Wallin, Is

has been previously stated in the D,Spdtch::

claims TO have acted. He has engaged the

and IN several instances were accompanied

1t may I've remarked in connection VITA
the recent trial of Holmes K. Puryear, for
the muir Ter OF his wife, that the principal
prosecutor Of the prisOner-Mr. A. j.
Powell. OF Dinwiddie county-was at one
time the teacher OF Puryear. IL may be
further remarked that all Of the prosecuting
