TWO EXTREMES.
Former Foes Now Good Friends.

Should a casual observer have dropped
in at the Third station-hOuse about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, he would
have seen one of those sights that shows
the true characteristics of brave and
noble nature.
In the private office of Captain c. II.
Epps they would have seen two men en-
gagged in a pleasant conversation, and
meanwhile examining the many articles
of interest to hunters-such as pictures
of game, deer antlers, rifles, &c. One Of
these men was compactly-built man of
about 80, with light hair and blue eyes,
with deep, musical voice The other
was French Canadian, named Twiesler,
who, except by an acute observer would
be taken for an Indian. The former was
Nathan Mitchell. chief of scouts under
Colonel Otter during the late Canadian
rebellion. The latter, Twiesler, was
Rieps lieutenant and one of his most
trusted advisers.
Mitchell had charge Of the scouts who
chased the party, of which Tweisler was
member. into the United States They
had often faced each other in deadly con-
flict, but yesterday to see them laughing
and talking together, as old friends, was
one of those sights which tend to remind
of the kinship of the whole world.
Mr.. Mitchell, now Of Syracuse, n. Y,
is on a visit to the city, and Twesler is
with the Indian show. They called to
pay their respects to Captain Epps. The
latter, on account of a great afilictiOn,
was not at the station-hOuse.

Hard To APree.

John w. Unger was tried in the Hust
ings Court Wednesday on the charge Of
keeping a poker-room. The case was
given to the jury about 2:30 that after
noon. At 4:3O they were unable to agree
and were adjourned over until 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. After some consulta-
ton yesterday the jury brought in YER
dict of guilty, filming the accused $50 and
costs
Some doubt exists as to whether or
no keeping pOker-room is a violation Of
law, so Mr. 5. NJ. Page, counsel for Unger,
expresses his determination of carrying
the case to the Supreme Court.
Allen Seaton (cOlored) was tried yester-
day in the same court on the charge of
petit larceny. The jury in his case was
also unable to agree, and they were adj
iourned over until $3.50 this morning.

acceptably sustained their rOteS. DADS

supported The music by Professor Stein

Water for the New City Hall.

Assistant Superintendent of the Water
Works Eugene Davis yesterday afternoon
made the necessary connections for the
new City Hail. 1t was deemed best to
put in the pipes at this time so as to OBJ
viate the necessity of cutting through the
walls at later period.
The connection consists of four-inch
pipe, which taps the sixteen-inch main on
Broad street, and is about four feet below
the surface A pipe this size will dis
charge about 800 gallons of water per
minute, so there will certainly be no
scarcity of water in our new municipal
structure

What Qualities a Man to be a Policeman?

What Qualities n Man to be "A Policeman?
This is question easier asked than
answered. But there is at least one thing
that should not disqualify man in Rich
mond. In Washington city no man who
served in the Confederate army is allowed
on the police; but it is hoped it will be a
long time before that fact will disqualify
a man i'm Richmond, although it is not
known whether it has ever helped them,
as for some cause or other there are very
few old soldiers on the police But the
fact that man was wounded in the
Southern army and has drawn a pitiful
pension. does not seem to be good ground
for his rejection as a policeman, if he is
not permanently disabled. This, then,
appears to be no special case, but is writ
ten on general principles.

Prior to Jan. lst., 1896. the law re-
lating to chattel mortgages was of
little use in preventing mortgagors
who were so inclined, from disposing
of mortgaged property. Under the
old law it was necessary in order to
make out case, to show that in dis.
posing of the property the mortgagor
did 50 with "intent to defraud" the
mortgage or his assignee. With
such clause in the law it was found
almost impossible to convict of dis
posing of chattel mortgaged property;
and for that reason prosecutions were
very seldom begun. This defect in
the law has been remedied by the
penal code which Is now In force, and
hereafter convictions where convict
ions should be will not be difficult.
Officers Of the law will now see that
those who break this law will suffer
the penalty, .hich is Imprisonment
in the county Jail or state prison not
more than one year. or IL fine Of not
more than five hundred dollars. AS
very desirable consequence, chattel
mortgage security will be relieved of
its former unrellabiilty and its value
placed at Il proper standard.
