o'clock, when supper was announced.
This was one of Seigeps best. 1t re-
nuires no panegyric or peroration. 1t
was first-class feast.
A beautiful sentiment to "Our Dead "
was drunk standing and in silence.
Among the invited guests were Mr.. T.
NJ. Parrish, of Charlottesville Lieutenant
Thomas n Carter, of Company +, Messrs.
w. G. Miller, and Samuel Sinton, and
representatives of the press.
Major Brander, as member OF the
Council AMI chairman of the Banquet
Committee proved again that he was the
right man in the right place.
Two members Of the Association have
died since the last meeting. Ira w. Blunt
died January 25th and Jesse Child died
April 21st
BY singular coincidence, both of these
gentlemen were pharmacists, and during
the war were each at times connected
with the medical department.
A letter was read from General Lee
regretting his inability to attend, and
requesting Major Thomas Brander to
speak in his behalf.
The reunion was one of the most
pleasant in the history OF the association,
and about midnight all dispersed in good
order and full of very pleasant thoughts.

Hastings Court.
A Proyidential Pistol.

Yesterday morning Robert Brown was
before the Police Court charged with
trespassing upon the property OF and
abusing and attempting to assault a party
bv the name of Hanna. Hanna was also
charged with abusing and attempting to
assault Brown.
From the evidence it seemed that Brown
had charge of force of hands who were
LAYING city water-pipes, from Thirteenth
TO Seventeenth streets, in the Valley In
order to do this it was necessary to lay
the pipes through the creek, near Wash
ington street. To accomplish this, half OF
the creek had to be damned at the time
so as to enable the men to dig the ditch.
In doing this Brown used stone from
off Hannas land. Hanna objected to
this and began damning Brown. Brown
returned like for like. Hanna drew a
knife and advanced upon Brown; Brown
retaliated by producing a pistol and com
manded Hanna to drop the knife, which
he did. The parties then retreated and
secured warrants for each other.
Justice Richardson dismissed both
cases upon the payment Of costs.
Brown said that his pistol was lying in
his desk drawer at his office, so he
thought ne would take it down to the
creek and fire off the loads in it. He
seemed to be very much impressed by the
fact that it was the work Of Providence,
and that he was unconsciously taking
steps to preserve his own life. Owing to
the fact that Brown testified against him
as to the carrying of concealed weapons
the police justice did not goiinto an in
vestigation of that charge.

HE DID IT WITH HIS LITTLE GUN.
A Seyenteen-Year-Old Boy Puts Three

A Seventeen-Year-Old BOY futs ihree
Balls into a Burglar.
Yesterday morning about half-past 4
O'Clock the family of Mrs. Clara \. Lester,
living on Twenty ninth street between
Broad and Marshall, were disturbed by
hearing an unusual noise in the base
ment of the house. Lacy Lester, a sew
enteen- year-old son of Mrs. Lester, picked
up a gun which he had loaded with
three buckshot, and with it went down
TO the head of the basement stairs. Upon
opening the door at the head OF the
steps he saw q light moving about the
basement. The light was in the hands
of a negro man, who walked Win
II to the passage door and then went
back. The lamp was burning brightly,
and while young Lester was on the
steps waiting for the burglar TO come
out into the passage he made slight
noise which attracted the attention OF
the burglar. The burglar came out into
the passage, and raising the lighted lamp,
which he held in one hand, he looked to-
ward the step and saw young Lester sit
ting there with the gun. AS soon as the
burglar caught sight of the boy ne started
towards him with a Ratchet and knife
which he had been carrying about the
house.
Young Lester quickly raised his gun
and shot squarely at the burglars face
After the gun was fired the burglar con-
tinued to advance towards the young
man, who Immediately after the shooting
went up the steps and quickly fastened
the door behind him. As he did this he
called his brother and told him to hasten
TO the front of the house, but his brother
not getting there in time the burglar made
his escape.
An examination of the premises reveal
ed the fact that the burglar first went into
the kitchen, and after getting what he
could there he went through the basement
window in the dwelling.
The matter was reported to the police,
and early this morning Officers Howard,
Whitlock, Hall, Butler, and young Lester
traced the burglar over to Thirtysecond
and o streets, over a quarter of mile
from Mrs. Testers house. They easily.
tracked him thus far by means of blood
stains. The burglar bled very freely at
Mrs. Testers house and along the street
to Thirty-second and o. Young Lester
was barely fifteen feet from the burglar
when the gun was fired, and it is believed
that the three buckshot took effect in the
negro's face. j.,
The burglar left pair of old shoes and
some articles which he had stolen near
the basement window. When he ran out
of the house he stumbled over the chairs,
having blood stains upon the furniture
and walls Young Lester says that the man
was a mulatto with little side whiskers,
looking as if he had not shaved for some
time. The police made close search in
the vicinity of Thirty-secOnd and q
streets, but they were unable to get any
further traces of the burglar. 1t is be-
lieved that his wound is very serious
one and that it may lead to bis arrest.

THE OLD STORY.
He Gambled with His Employers Money.

He Gambled with His Employers Money
For several days past humOrs have
been afloat that book-keeper in GER
tain establishment on Main street had
left the city with a large amount OF
money belonging to his employer; Yes
terday morning it was generally known
that the person referred to was Walter +.
Hoge, bookkeeper for James b. Elan,
real estate agent, and it is stated that he
is short in his accounts upwards OF
$4,000.
Last week Mr.. o. Herbert Funstan
who has charge of the rent department,
noticed credits in his ledger which had
been made by Hoge, and he called MI
Elam's attention to it. Mr. Elan there
upon examined his 0ash-book and founo
that no entry had been made to cores
pond with the entry in the ledger Sus-
pecting that something was wrong, he
employed an expert bookkeeper to exam,
inc his books. AS soon as Hoge heard OF
this he went to Mr.. Elan and confessed
that he had taken the money and made
the entries to keep from being discovered
He also acknowledged that he had taken
great deal more, and he furnised Mr
Elan a statement showing that he had
taken between thirteen and fourteen hun
dred dollars.
His father, hearing that he was short IN
his accounts about $500, went to several
friends, and informed them of his son
trouble and they agreed to make the
shortage good. But when Mr.. Elem pre-
scented them with the statement OF young
Hoge, and seeing that the amount was SO
large, and besides there were indications
of forgery, they refused to have anything
to do with the matter
Hoge has not been seen in the city
since Monday, and it is thought that he
left the city. Hoge is a young man
about twenty-five years of age, and has
been in the employ of Mr.. Elan for sew
eral years. He says that he lost the
money by gambling. 1t has not yet been
ascertained what the amount of shortage
will foot up.
