A Graphic Story of Murder and Rob-
 bery in a Richmond Den.
 RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 20.-About twelve months ago man named Richard Shen- nick, rather rough character, kept an all night house near New Market here. Shen- nick kept bulldogs and all sorts of drinks and his house was open to blacks as well as whites. He sold out some time since and separating from his wife left for Cincinnati. It has transpired that his absence and a statement from his deserted wife is to be the cause of 8 frst-class Richmond sensation. Last Saturday Shennick's wife, who is being treated for complication of diseases, i'm agined she was dying and sent for Police Justice Richardson, to who she made the fol- lowing statement: She said that she was in the habit of aiding her husband in tending bar and they lived over the barroom. One night she came down between il ard 12 o'clock to see if her presence was needed. She entered the bar from the rear ard as she came in she saw Shennick knock a man senseless to the floor with a pair of brass
 knuckles. Shennick ordered her to leave the room and she went upstairs, but could not rest. Creeping back noiselessly she saw her husband remove large roll of bank notes
 from the dead mans pocket, drag the body
 behind the counter, raise a trap door and
 drop it into large we'll that years ago had
 been dug and the house built over it. Shortly after this occurrence two public officers were
 missing in the State-W. H. Crawford, treas
 urer of Bland county, and J. M. Carroll, clerk of Staunton. Nothing has been heard of either since they were seen in Rich mond and when the woman was asked to de- scribe the man she gave 8 very accurate description of the missing treasurer. Jus tice Richardson at once informed the police
 of the woman's story and took steps to verify the same if possible. The off cers went to the house, which is an old ricketty affair, and securing
 force of hands tore up the flooring behind the bar and commenced digging for the we'll. This was about o'clock to- day, and up to 9p. m. no bones or anything like 8 we'll have been discovered. The door to the bar was locked and large crowd has been standing on the sidewalk since the search commenced. Shennick wrote to an ex-de- tective here short time since asking if there was any talk about him in Richmond and expressing desire to come back and live in Richmond. His wife is still alive and it is by no means certain that she will die for some time. Her statement has many in- accuracies, but it is generally believed that there is deal of truth in it.

Few persons realize how thoroughly they are controlled by prejudice even to their own disad vantage. For many years the treatment of rheumatism. neuralgia, sciatica and head ache has been by some outward application, and. therefore, without stopping to think that the origin of these troubles must, from necessity, be internal, the weary sufferer continues to rub, rub and find no relief. Athlophoros is taken internally, and as proof that this is the correct principle, it cures surely and quickly. The statement of those who have been cured ought to convince fha incredulnuS

The Disposal of Hoosac Tunnel.

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-There is great interest felt in the probable disposition of the Hoosac
 tunnel by the Governor and council In
 June, 1885, 8 law was passed permitting the Governor and council to dispose of the tun- nel. Both the Fitchburg and Boston and Lowell roads want the big bore. The Fitch
 burg people say that they are willing to pay a reasonable price for it and want to get it before Governor Robinson goes out of office, but that as piece of railroad property it is worth no more than any other forty-four miles of road similarly situated. The Lowell people say that Fitchburg showed no dispo- sition to do anything until the Central Mas sachusetts was pushed to 8 connection with the tunnel and that the Fitchburg is able to hasten matters from the fact that one of its officials is member of the council and is consequently on the inside of whatever oc-

 have for twelve years been great suffer CT from rheumatic neuralgia, subject to at- tack suddenly without warning, either day or night destroying all hope of sleep or rest, making it almost impossible for me to walk or attend to my business and often compel ing me to remain at home day or two and suffering the most excruciating pain every sufferer knows. Remedies are not wanting, and have tried hundreds of them faithfully, until when come to review the list, and find I am still alive I look upon myself as a miracle. With the exception of Athlophor os, not one of them afforded me slightest benefit. Eminent physicians in this and oth- CT cities have labored faithfully and honestly to help but without affording any perma- nent relief. After much persuasion and long opposition, I at last decided to try Ath- lophoros, but without one particle of faith As the result can truly say it has done me more good than all other remedies combined. The first two doses relieved the pain entire ly, and since I commenced it's use some four weeks ago have had but one slight attack. G. G. THOMSON.

The Mnzarf Last Might.

A very charming musicale was given
at the Mozart last evening. Almost
every seat and most Of the standing
room in the spacious Academy was oc.
cupied. The especial attraction was
the mixed quartette from New York.
consisting of Miss Ida w. Hubbell,
soprano; Mrs. T. b. Anderson, con-
talto; Mr.. Charles II. Thompson,
tonor, and DR.. Carl E. Martin, basso.
They gave, with the regular orchestra,
fine concert, and while they individu-
ally sing beautifully, and possess voices
Of culture and power, their ensemble
singing does not give evidence Of much
practice together. Two of the quar-
tette-Mrs. Anderson and DR.. Martin
sang here about year ago for the Asso-
citation, at Armory Hall, with Miss
Douglass and the beautiful tenor, Mr..
Mockridge.
Miss Hubbell has q full, flexible So
prano voice, and sings with much taste
and expression.
Mr.. Thompson's tenor is strong and
effective, and, with the lady above
mentioned, was very favorably received.
DR.. Carl Martin has a heroic,
bounding basso, and his heavy rich
notes are enhanced by his artistic man
ner of giving them. Although posses
sing deep, powerful voice, his refined
method makes it most nearly approach
what is known in the Italian school as
a asso-cantante. He had most en-
thusiastic reception, and upon the first
encore responded in superb style with
the very difficult and beautiful song OF
Mendelssohn Il Am Roamer Bold"
Mrs. Anderson is a charming con-
tralto singer. She has rare voice, in
which power and sweetness are hap
PLY combined. Her rendition of Des-
sour's ITO Sevilla," which was a
fitting solo conclusion of the pro-
grsmme, was beautiful number. She
sings with great depth of soul, and is
already q fayorite in Richmond. SUM-
day morning she sang at St. Pauls'
and in the evening generously gave her
sweet vocal powers to cheer the vet
Grams at the Soldiers Home.
The orchestra played the two instru-
mental numbers with fine effect.
