A A1rip ArOuUd the World.

The Petersburg Inder-Appeal ofyes-
terday contained the following:
One OF Petersburg's most honored
and substantial citizens will be married
in Richmond next week to beautiful
and brilliant young lady, the daughter
of o gentleman who was formerly one
Of the most distinguished members o.
our local bar, and even now is often.
times visitor here. The marriage
will be strictly private, and the brids'
tour involves trip which. while it vii
not be as expeditions as Jules Verne
romance of a going around the worl0
in eighty days, will nevertheless
be quite as laiitudinous and longitudl-
nous. The wedding will take place on
Tuesday next. The bridal couple will
at once go to San Francisco and thence
to Australia, Japan, and India. From
this point they will make almost com
plete circuit of the globe, returning t.
this city in about six months from
England. No names are given now
but doubtless there are not few II
our midst who will be able to make
correct surmise as to the identity OF th'
contracting parties.

GoTHER LOCAL on THIRD PAGE.

The schooner " Applegarth," con-
signed to Captain c. q. Snead, general
agent for the Flamingo Guano Com
pany. is discharging cargo Of the Fla
miDgo guano at his warehouse, on the
dock, to. day. This guano is brought
from an island in the Caribbean Sea, and
before its importation into this country,
a few years ago, the company sent Dr..
G. A. Liebig to the island, who made
several analyses on the spot, and fully
endorses and recommends it as ferti-
lizer Of rare merit, especially for wheat
and grass, as shown by the large
amount of bone phosphate it contains.
While it has been but a short time
since the Flamingo was first introduced
INTO this country, it has made reputs-
tion which places it among the leading
natural guanos on the market, and Cap
tain Snead extends cordial invitation
to farmers throughout the State to call
at his office, loo Shockoe slip, for fur
ther information.

How the Copfsderstes Amused Them

selves I'm war Days.
Mr.. P. P. Ryan, who, during the war
was q member Of Company X, Four
teentb Virginia infantry, yesterday
morning stated that the following in the
Dispotch's account Of the Parker-Bat-
terry reunion at the Hewlett house was
q mistake
The most noticeable spot In this locality
was the church, Indicated by deep and
bad supposed that 1t was the old guard.
houte. Alssi what a change. This spot
where Dr. Burrows. OF our city, aud Dr.
blackwell, Of the Virginia Conference, ann
DR.. stiles and Others once preached nov
resem bles more than anything else an Old
long. deserted roofiess Ice. house IL was
dug deep for two reasons-frst. for security,
and second, to save lum ber. The dirt walls
cost nothing. The body OF the church dld
not appear n ore than four or six feet above
the ground.
MIR. Ryan further said that the build
ing referred to was not church during
the war, but . theatre, and that he
helped to build it, and that it was
modelled after the order of bomb
proof--the top covered with logs and
earth. The building would accommo-
date several hundred people. lie fur
ther said that when General Pickett's
division took charge of the line from
the Hewlett house to the Appomattox
river, in 1864, General George Stewart
NOW of Baltimore) commanded Armi-
stead's old brigade, stationed in this
loceity. Stewart made detail OF men
from each regiment in his brigade, and
BY this detail the theatre was built.
Mr.. Ryan says he was one Of the de-
tailed men. Just at this time CON-
paDy Of minstrels was playing at the
Richmond Theatre, and after their eu-
gsgement there closed they attempted
TO get through the lines at Meadow
Bridge, but were captured and turned
over TO Stewards command. Stewart
then had the theatre erected, and the
captives, with others, were organized
into a minstrel troupe, and gave per-
formances in this house. The price OF
admission was two dollars per night
Mr.. "Boots J" Allen, popular negro
minstrel Of this city, was one Of the
principal actors of The troupe.
Our information came from DR.. Ma
ior) Parker. Being told yesterday Of
Mr.. Ryan's statement, he said that Mr..
Ryan was in error. The ruins referred
TO were the ruins of a church. True,
there was "a theatre on the lines,
but it was some miles distant from this
church. While DR.. Parker had never
been in "the theatre" he had been in
The church (which was very close to his
headquarters) dozens Of times, and had
himself preached in it.

Nix Colorsd Men Before the Police
Iasiice fae Inrulx Conduct.

six CoIorsd Men Before the Police
Jsssice for Unruly Conduct.
Six colored prisoners from the city
iail were before Polics-Justice Rich
srdson yesterday morning charged
with unlawfully and riotously assem-
bling together and combining to resist
and impede the officers Of the jsil.
Wednesday afternoon several Of the
colored prisoners amused themselves
by throwing whitewash on Montgome-
~ cambridge, IN old hslfwittsd negro.
The matter was reported to Mr.. Thomas
O'Conner, the jailer, who called John
| Colemsn, the leader In tho affair, to the
gate and told him il he was guilty Of
such behavior again be would be locked
up in the dungeon.
Yesterday morning Coleman made his
appearance at the gate, and, calling Mr..
O'Conner. said: "Mr. O'Conner, you
threatened last night to put me in tho
dungeon. | would like to see you do
it," Mr.. O'Conner called McDonough
and Edwards, Two prisoners in the white
department, and Watchman Abrams,
and they entered the jail.yard to got
Coleman and place him in the black
hole. Coleman retreated to the lower
end of the corridor and defied the otli'
Ger to take him, and threatened to
kill the first man who dared to place
bis hands upon him. About this time
nearly all the prisoners rushed
out Of their cells and crowded around
the officer. They hooted and jeersd at
the officer, and told Coleman not to al-
low himselfto be taken. O'Conner sent
for his pistol, aud threatened to shoot
into the crowd if they didn't 60 to their
cells. This was received with derision,
several Of the prisoners daring O'Con-
ner to shoot. Coleman said that he
could "shoot and be ID that no
didn't have but one time to die.
A messenger was dispatched to the
police station for assistance. Ser
geants Ilulce and Whitlock and Police.
men Parkinson, Walton, Sutton, and
Robbins responded and promptly se-
cured the refractory parties-yiz.,
- Coleman, Charles Harris, Ro-
bert Harrison, Richard Allan, Tom
Walker, and William Henry Jones, and
they were taken up to the Police Court.
Justice Richardson, upon being in
formed of what had occurred, issued .
warrant, which was served on the par
ties, aud he asked the prisoners If they
were ready to 60 into trial. They
responded, "Yes." The witnesses
were sworn and the testimony fully
corroborated the above. Justice Rich
ardson sent the gang on to the grand
jury to answer the charge against them

Executive and the beguilements Of her
bopdholders. she undertook to pay two
thirds Of the debt and accrued interest,
including four years Of war interest !;
that one year had not elapsed before II
became apparent that she could not pay
the interest upon this debt, the ex.
penses Of her State government,
and support her Institutions; that
the next General Assembly had
promptly repealed this funding bill
that the controversy was then trans.
ferred to the courts, where 1t bad pended
with wavering success from that time to
the present. He stated that the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States
forbade suit against State to compel
her to pay her obligations; that the
plaintiff, aware Of this, sought by OBJ
tanning exemplary damages against the
officers to force the receipt Of the cou-
pons for taxes; that they sought indi-
rectly to apply the principle and obtain
the relief which they could not
ask directly at tho hands Of
the court; that dispassionate
examination OF the case would show
that it was not damages so much the
plaintiff wanted as to break down the
opposition of the State and force the
coupons into the Treasury; that the
facts would show that the plaintiff had
only sustained damages to the extent
of q trifing amount, aid submitted II
to the jury confident that they would
so find.
MR.. KOONTZ TESTIFIES.
The only witness examined was
Treasurer Koontz, who gave carefully
detailed statement Of the entire trans.
actions, showing that he took every
precaution before levying. Dulaney of.
fered the coupons in payment OF the
taxes, and the Treasurer refused to ac-
cept them except for yeriflcation. After
the plaintiff refused to give the coupons
except in payment Of his taxes, tho
Treasurer informed him that levy
would have to be made, and in May went
to the plaintiffs farm and levied on
nine head of cattle, picked from lot
of fifty or more, which Dulaney had
bought at s32 per head. lie did not
move the cattle from the pasture, but
advertised them for sale, and sold eight
Of them to satisfy the debt, and Dula.
neys agent became the purchaser.
At 3 o'clock, while Mr.. Koontz was
still on the stand. the court adjourned
over until 10 A. NJ. to-day.
PERSONAL.
While this case was up the court
room was we'll filled with spectators,
among whom were Governor Lee, most
of the other State officers, and nu-
merous members Of the bar; also, ex-
Governor ID. III. Chamberlain, formerly
of South Carolina, now of New York,
who has been counsel in several bond
holders cases, but is here now, it is
understood, in another law matter.
Among the jurors who were exam
ined and not accepted was Mr.. j. Q.
Redwood of Henrico, who said that he
bad formed an opinion.
Another gentleman said that he had
heard about the case in Fauquier. lie
was told by the Court to stand aside, to
which Attorney-General Ayers ex-
cepted.

MR.. w. IL. SMITH.
lenteuce Pronounced Upon Him YeS
terday, but Execution Suspended
Until September Gosh.

In the IIustings Court yesterday Mr..
William r. Smith, who has been con-
fined in Jail year and several months.
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
two years.
Mr. Smith was. before his arrest,
November %, lSS4,) a clerk in the
Office of the Auditor Of Public &c
counts. On the Goth Of April, 1885,
he was convicted of grand larceny,
having appropriated money from the
Treasury Of the State which had been
paid in by Mr.. A. NJ. Brownell, weigh
master Of livestock. Upon rendition
of the verdict Smith moved the Court
to set aside the same on the ground that
it was contrary to the law and the evil
depce. and to grant him a new trial.
This motion has been continued from
time to time until yesterday, when the
prisoner was brought to the bar Of the
court, and the Court, having maturely
considered the said motion, overruled
1t, and sentenced the prisoner in accord
ance with the verdict.
At the request Of the prisoner s
counsel the Court suspended the exc
cution of judgment until the 10Th day
of September, 1856, to allow him time
to apply to the Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals for writ of error and Supersedeas
Of the judgment.
Smith was more emaciated yesterday
even than when last in court, and looked
pale and thin. blooded but he appeared
to be quicker Of intellect and more cog
infant Of what was transpiring around
him.
Doctors Beale, McCaw, and Skelton
all testified in open court yesterday as
TO Smiths condition, and all agree d
that he was mentally and physically
able to appear for sentence.
There were several hundred cases
against Smith, and the States losses
through him amounted to moro than
$40, 600. lie was indicted in some
twelve or fourteen cases was tried on
one, convicted, and is now sentenced
Several other of the bills have beer
noHe prosecuted. lie has been tried Oh
none of the rest, because he has been
too i'll to appear in court, and be l.
still sick and feeble.
