Their Nominees.

The official record shows that Mr..
Miles b. Turpin was nominated on" the
Reform Ticket" for Auditor, but no
doubt the name intended was Mr.. Miles
Turpin, the Democratic nominee. For
all the City-Hall offices, except Ser.
geant, the independents have adopted
the nominees of the Democrats as made
at the Primary.
They also adopted our nominees for
the City Council to this extent: Mar
shall Ward, j. Z. Dickerson for the
Board Of Aldermen Common Council,
W. G. Ammons and Z. j. Parater.
Monroe Ward, John ". 0tley for
Board Of Aldermen. Clay Ward, E.
d. Starke and Anthony Griffith for
Common Council.
Several of the Democratic nominees
for Justices cf the Peace are adopted
or endorsed-whatever they call it.
All of the nominees on their Jackson
Ward ticket are Republicans, and were
nominated by Republicans and adopted
by the independents.
In addition to these there are several
other Of their nominees who have been
more or less actively identified with the
Republican party in the past.

Dredging Vessels Brought Here.

Last Saturday afternoon three schoon
ers-t the Russell, Rogers, and Moore
which were captured last month,
charged with illegal dredging, were
brought to Richmond, accompanied by
the Virginia steamer Chesapeake, COM
manded by Captain Seth Foster. The
oyster vessels hail from Maryland, and
when put up for sale at Matthews Court
house were bid in by the Board on the
Chesapeake and its Tributaries. This
Board, composed OF the Governor, Au.
ditors, and Treasurer, met Monday, but
took no action as to what shall be done
with the schooners. They went down
yesterday morning ard inspected the
vessels, and will probably meet again
in few days and decide what action is
proper.

The Clerks, Association Of Richmond

The Clerks Association of Richmond
has been formed for mutual benefit.
One of their objects is to induce the
employers to close their stores sutfi-
GENTLY early to allow their employees
time for proper refreshment Of mind and
body after the arduous and psrplexihg
duties Of the day.
This great benefit can be secured by
the concerted action Of those interested.
The employers Of our city are Is . rule
fair.minded, honorable men, and are
willing to meet their employees upon
reasonable ground. There has been no
request made by the Association; but
some Of them, recognizing the necessity
for more time for rest and healthful
exercise and enjoyment of home life for
themselves as we'll as their employees,
have voluntarily expressed their willing
ness to close esrly--some even earlier
than the Association will request-if
concerted action can be procured.
The citizens Of Richmond have much
to do with the success OF this cause (;
the ladies can encourage il by making
their purchases earlier In the day.
Some may find it necessary to make .
little sacrifice Of their personal comfort
or convenience to get ready to visit the
stores before 5 or 6 o'clock, but can
you not, riH you not do so for the great
benefit of hundreds Of our tired en-.
ployees? We feel assured that our
lady friends will show their apprecia-
tion of this movement for the ameliora-
tion Of the condition of our merchants
and clerks, as they have in oil other
good objects, by hearty response to
our appeal.

Shaw said he didn't want to kill him
hc only wanted TO make Brooks lei
him 90.
DR.. Brock said that no vital organ
had been struck by Shsw's bullet, and
that the ball is now lodged in tho lef'
leg. He did not know whether there
wss any reasonable ground for the
hypothesis that the shooting Of Brooks
was accidental. He did not, however,
believe that the button would have been
broken off in a scuffle If no pistol-sho'
had been fired, but would not say the
button had been knocked off by shot
from the pistol.
MR.. wIPPERMANN.
Mr.. Carl Whippermann, book-keepeT
for Mr.. Hermann Schmidt, was the next
witness. lie said he first saw the
prisoner on the 18th Of March in Mr..
Scbmidt's Office about 8 o'clock at
night. lie and Mr.. Schmidt were call
ing off accounts, when a man came In
and asked for City Directory, which
was handed him. They still continued
calling off accounts, and as the man
continued to look into the Directory
very long, we asked who he was look
ing for and he said, "H. NJ. Smith" "
Mr.. Schmidt asked what he wanted
with II. NJ. Smith. Said he was looking
for a man named III. NJ. Smith at j. e..
Smiths Ice Company, who used to live
in Washington. Mr.. Schmidt told me
in GeIman--
"Oh, don't say what he told you in
German" said Mr.. Allan.

sharp" continued Mr.. Whippermann,
