LICTtRE 10 4 THIEF.
4 Judge Makes an Example Of "a DTS
honest Young Man.

A Chicago 1ll.) special says Charles
Richmond, the young man who on Sat
urday pleaded guilty to the larceny of
1880 from Mccormick Il Tate, was
called up in Judge Collins's court to-
day for sentence. He appeared cool
and collected, and in reply to the usual
inquiry if he had anything further to
say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced, said he had not in a voice
clear and crisp. He was dressed
with scrupulOus regard to neat
ness, and looked like a fashion,
able hotel.oleik, in Prince Albert coat
and striped linen shirt. When his sem
tence was pronounced he took his hat
and sauntered OF with the bailiif' as
leisurely as though he had just been
RECALLED at a feast. The Court, in SEN
fencing him, said: "You pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging you
with grand larceny. The smallest pun
ishment is one year IN the peniten-
iiary the highest ten years. Quite a
pressure has been brought to bear upon
the Court to relax the punishment o.
the law in this case. Your friends
would like to save you nom the dis
grace Of a neutrality-suspicious. No
man can be d'Sgsaced except by his
own act. The disgrace lies in
the commission of the crime, and
not in the sentence or punishment. You
are young man, standing on the
threshold Of life; have had opportuni-
ties few young men possess, and work
ing for an establishment the possible.
ties of which could only be circum-
scribed by your own efforts. You be-
trayed a trust. This city is filed with
young men occupying positions similar
TO yours. Their hour Of temptation is
coming, the same as your hour Of
temptation came. Am | to say to these
/ young men, by allowing you to escape
the just punishment Of your act,
that they, too, may violate the
laws Of this Commonwealth and the
laws of God, and escape punishment
in turn? cannot, as a just Judge, send
men to the penitentiary for trivial Of
fences in comparison to yours, and be-
cause you come from the higher walks
# life let you go; it would be calcu-
lated to make of justice a laughing
stock and of the law a mockery. 1t is
not the policy Of the law to reform
criminals by not Furnishing them.
cannot say TO the young men all over
this city, the bankers clerks, the manu.
fscturers' clerks, and others, that crime
Of so grave nature can go unpublished
in this community"
He then sentenced him to imprison-
ment for one year and half in the
penitentiary.

The officers of the yard and ships all

in full regimentals, was drawn up in
line at the main entrance, and the whole

The day was ushered in with slight
fall of snow. About the sun began

tiful snow soon disappeared beneath his
genial rays.
Judge W. T. Jones, Of Gloucester,
relieved Judge Garnett of the judicial
crmiDe to hear the motion, made by
George Hunley. attorney for the Com
monwealth, in pursuance Of an order Of
the Board Of Supervisors requiring adj
ditional security on the treasurer's
official bond.
The supervisors having doubled the
county levy for the current year deemed
the bond insufficient. The treasurer,
DR.. s. II. Sears, aycrred by his c0ln-
sci, Marquis Jones, Robert McCandlish,
and Il. T. Bland, that his bond was
adequate and given to cover all contin-
genc.eS. Captain r. I. Sears, brother
Of the Doctor, and member Of the firm
Of Sears & Williams, enterprising and
successful merchants doing business at
Matthews Courthouse. and Captain John
Foster. Jr., are his sureties.
His Honor made a careful schedule
from data furnished Of the property ol
each of the suTeties at fair cash yalua-
ton, and they were thus weighed in the
judicial balance. Captain Sears kicked
the beam at twenty-five thousand and
fifty dollars. John Foster owns several
fire estates. The Court adiudged the
bond sufficient

The United States Government should

railroad that leaves Richmond at SIS

going train of the same road at s \. VI.
they could be left at Lee-IIall station,

a Wheeling West Va special says
About o'clock this afternoon a per-
sonal encounter took place in the main
street Of Rayenswood, Jackson county.
between Bird Penny hacker and a man
named Coleman, which resulted IN the
death of the former. There has been a
long. standing grudge between the two
men, and a tragic end of the matter has
been universally expected by those IA
miliar with the men. About 3 o'clock.
while Coleman was standing on the
sidewalk, Pennybacker approached and
a fight at once ensued. 4 large crowd
gathered in a moment, and an attempt
was made to separate the men, but the
combat was at once renewed. Finding
that his antagonist was more than a
match for him, Coleman managed to get
out his revolver, and holding the muz-
zle close to Pennybacker's head pulled
the trigger. The ball entered Penny
hacker check Just under his left eye,
penetrating the brain. Coleman at
once gave himself up, and was taken ID
the Jail amid great excitement. Both
men are well known, and some further
trouble may grow out Of the killing.

terest to many of the citizens Of Peters
burg who were members OF that assO-

were held to be in arrears for ASSESS

court between forty and fifty judg-

But no levles were made for the reason
than an order was subsequently issued

A telegram received from Atlanta

of the death in that city yesterday of
Miss Lillian Ballard, an accomplished
and beautiful young lady, well and
favorably known in society circles here.
She made a number Of visits to Peters

her last visit she was a guest at the re-

The sum Of $500 net was realized for

company designed that this money could
be most judiciously distributed through
the pastors Of the several churches, the
amount being equally divided among
the denominations. 1t is understood to-
day that the pastors Of the Presbyterian,
Baptist, and Methodist churches de-
clined to receive the money apportioned
for the poor Of their congregations, on
the ground that it was not thought right
to receive money raised in that manner
The pastors OF the Episcopal and Catho'
