The Episcopal Bishop or Japan on
Church HOrk There.

Right Rev. c. NJ. Williams, of Japan,
in letter to his nephew, Mr. Clayton
Lefebvre, of this city, says: "God IS
blessing our work in Japan and our con
verts are increasing more rapidly than
they have ever done before. There are
openings for workers i'll all directions,
but the laborers are too few. We have
only the same number OF clergymen in
the Japan mission that we had at work
in two places here in 1872. From the
Alexandria Seminary the good news
comes that there are fifteen there who
have made up their minds to 90 to the
foreign field. We hope to have some of
them in Japan. During my visit to
Osaka 107 were confirmed. On Christ
mas Day and the Sunday before fifty
were baptized III the three churches
there. Three churches, or chapels
rather, have been built within year.
But great loss is coming to us. One
of our deacons, the Rev. y. Kanai, is
very ill and not expected to live many
DAYS. He is an earnest Christian and
has been a good worker, but his work in
the church militant is almost ended
and We shall miss him greatly"

Tho ALBANY Prisoners.

Nothing has yet been heard from the
New York authorities with reference to
their coming here for William and
Charles Vim, the two men arrested here
on the charge of robbing post-offices IN
New York, and who are now in the Hen
rico county Jail.
In the same issue in which appeared
the announcement OF their arrest was a
letter from Ruther Glen, giving an ac-
count OF robberies committed there on
Saturday night As soon as this was
seen the police of this city telegraphed
to Ruther Glen and informed the au-
thorities of these arrests. Mr.. W. :.
Banks, with a description of the two
men who committed the robberies there,
came to Richmond Tuesday and identi-
fed the property found on the persons
of the prisoners as that stolen at Ruther
Glen.
The men also answered the descriptions
brought by Mr.. Banks.
1t is not thought that the Virginia au-
thorities will make any effort to prevent
the accused being taken to New York for
trial.

Az ERROR A LAW.
Not Likely that Many Bonds will be
Bought by the State.

One of the matters of legislation over
which the Senate and House violently
wrestled during the last forty-eight
hours of the session was provision in the
appropriation bill authorizing the Board
of Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund
70 invest the "surplus in the Treasury
in bonds to await the time when the
bondboldcrs shall fund and come for
ward to claim the interest due. The
views of the Senate finally prevailed,
the old law was substantially re-enacted.
and II was thought that the Board would
benceiorward have authority to make
purchases Of bonds as in the past.
The bill as 1t was enOrOSScd and as it
passed the two houses provides that /" it
a" shall be the dutyof the Commissioners
"of the Sinking Fund to meet on the
"first Monday in April, eighteen hun-
"dred and cighty-cight, and on the
&" first Monday in every month there
"after and TO determine, &c.
The enrolled bill, as signed by the
Governor, reads:
at shall he the duty of the Commits
" sioncrs of the Sinking Fund TO meet
con the first Monday i'll April, cighteen
"h,Hdrcd and eighty-sir, and on the
"frst Monday in every month thereafter
cup to and including the month of
"April, eighteen hundred and eighty
"eight. and to determine" &c.
From the reading of the enrolled bill
it is doubtful, to say the least, if the
Board are authorized to buy any bonds
after the first Monday in April, 1888.
The correction of this error will be
found to furnish one OF many reasons
why the General Assembly should be re-
convened in extra session this winter.
A number of letters from attorneys for
the Commonwealth have been received
mt the Capitol in reference to coupon
crusher suits. The reply TO all of these
from ell persons in authority is, $50 on
rs promptly as possible and enforce the
law" 1t is feared that if tho representa-
tiyes of the Commonwealth do not move
speedily Mr.. Cooper will arrive here
from England with coupons attach
ed TO bonds and will withdraw
the old tenders and make new
tenders OF coupons attached to
bonds. There have been rumors also OF
the purpose of some attorneys for the
Commonwealth to agree to take judg-
ments with less fees to themselves than
the law allows, but no one at the Capitol
for moment imagines that there is any
foundation for the report
Warrants have been issued on the civil
contingent fund in favor OF Roscoe
Conkling and John Randolph Tucker
for 81, 900 each.

The Academy Last Ntght.

Austins Australian Novelty Company
appeared at the Academy last night in a
good variety performance before IN
audience mostly composed of men,
which completely filed the galleries and
abont one third of the lower part of the
house OF its kind the performance is n
worthy one-mOre 50 than the average

Claire in his impersonation of the maid
of all work, the German prima donna,
and the Spanish dancing-girl was very
clever, and it was difficult, without a
programme, TO discover that he was not
woman. The Austin Sisters in their
trnpcze performance exhibited much
athletic skill, and Aimee with her head
downward walked on a board that had
been erected about twenty feet from the
roof OF the Academy. Baldwin and
Daily, the Zulu Twins, did some re-
markable tumblinG.
The show will bc repeated tonight,

The wires and the Mails.

No mail or express matter has reached
this city from New York since Sunday
evening, and the telegraphic communl-
cation between Philadelphia and New
York has not yet been restored. The
trains between Richmond snd Washing
ton arrived yesterday, with only slight
delays. The morning train due at 1879
A. VI. came in at 1870. the fast mail
reached here at $50, and the night train
came in nearly on time.

Rrnnn rnrnnIke TO be Sold.

The stockholders and bondholders of
the Brook Turnpike Company, who are
virtually the same, have authorized the
president and secretary, Mr.. j. B..
Crenshaw, to sell the turnpike on the
best terms possible. There has been a
great deal OF litigation in the County
Court recently, growing out of the com
plant Of citizens as to the condition in
which the road is kept. This no doubt
led to this action.
The stock is comparatively worthless,
and the price received from the sale will
fall considerably below the amount repre-
sented by the bonds issued some years
ago, which are held by some twenty per
sons. The president has a controlling
interest.

MYSTERY OF TIE ACCIDENT.

Those who prepared Mr.. Blanken-
ships body for burial regard the gene
rally accepted theory that two wheels
of the last truck of the rear car passed
over him as improbable. There were 10
marks upon the person TO indicate such
thing, and that the body, raised as il
was upon the rail and borne down 10y
the ilauce of the wheel, could have es-
capcd almost without bruises Though
the ribs were crushed) does seem un-
likely. Still the evidence goes TO show
that the wheels did pass over him, and
further, it is certain, that the rear truck
was thrown from the track and in that
condition ran nearly to the James-riyer
bridge, leaving the body behind. On
the heavy chinchilla overcoat worn by
deceased were iron-rust stains, supposed
to have been received in contact with
the rail and wheel.
Mr.. A. b. Clarke, Mr.. Blakenship's
assistant and now the officer in charge Of
the companys ) affairs, iuclines to the be-
lief that deceased fell upon the track
between the last and the next to the last
car. If SO, the statement that he half
way rose after he fell would be some
what confrmed, and it would not have
been possible had he fallen on the track
between the trucks.
1t is difficult To see how any man could
so fall upon rail between the trucks as
10 receive the impact of the wheels ut
the waist. One would suppose that in
such a fall the head would he more
likely than the waist 10 rest upon the
rail.
There are some who think that Mr..
Blankcnshp, In a moment of great pre-
occupation of mind, walked or fell IN
between the last and the next to the last
car clear of both rails, and that the
crushing injuries he received were from
the timbers under the track, and that he
was so doubled up by the fall that the
truck was raised from the rails. The
accident was 50 unexpected and was so
soon over it is not wonder that no one
can describe it with the desired accu-
racy.
-Four of Mr. Blankenships children
were absent from home Tuesday. Three
have returned. Miss George when last
heard from was at Easton, Pa, and
rs she he's not answered the telegrams
sent her it is feared that she has not re-
celyed them.
Deceased will be buried in his section
at Hollywood. in which are the graves OF
three of his children.

RUNNING THE POLICY.
Tive Persons sent ON for Trial; Three
Others Arrested.

j. W. Evans, a white man who keeps
a bar-room on south Eighth street, and
Washington Scribner icolored) we're be-
fore the Police Court yesterday morn
ing, charged with unlawfully keeping
and exhibiting certain game called
policy"
James Couch, James Willis, and Wash
ington Scribner Gall colored) were
charged with assaulting and beating
Charles Flanagan, and Flanagan was
charged with exhibiting a game Of
policy" There we're at least half n
dozen more charges against these and
other parties, all growing out OF the
same trouble.
The evidence, which was voluminous
and not altogether coherent, showed
that on Monday night Tom Carter (col-
Ored) bought policy-ticket from Jim
Couch, who had a place in rear of
Evans's bar. Tuesday morning Carter
went into Evans's place, and was told
that be had struck policy heavy. Some
time afterwards he went into Evaps's
again to get his money The dealer re-
fused to cash the ticket This led to
row. in course Of which Carter was
badly beaten He went to the Second
police-station and lodged complaint
with Sergeant Cosby that he had
been assaulted and beaten by Bob
Lee, Crusoe Daniel, and Wash. Scribner.
The Sergeant, accompanied by Officer
Sweeney. went down 10 Evans's place
and arrested the three persons mentioned
above. Upon getting to the police
station, cross warrants were sworn out.
and before night eleven arrests had been
made, all resulting from the warrant
sworn ont by Tom Carter against CrusOe
Daniel and others.
J. ". Evans was sent on to the grand
jury for permitting unlawful gaming TO
be carried on i'll his house. and Jim
Couch was sent on to answer the charge
OF selling policy-tickets.
Charles Flanagan was fined $40 for
trcspassing on the premises of and
breaking in the door of J. W. Evans.
During the trial OF this batch of cases
several witnesses testified that the head
quarters of the policy-deaers was in the
building at the corner OF Eighth and
Cary streets, and the manager was Lloyd
Hamilton. A warrant was issued for
Hamilton and he WAS arrested later in
the day by Sergeant Cosby. He will be
before the Police Court this morning.
Sergeant Cosby also arrested William
G. Shorts and Robert ID. Brown on the
same charge.
ANOTHER CASE.
Timothy Freeman, Charles Jackson,
Charles Thomas, Jacob Peterson, Henry
Shields, Fred. Jordan, Willie Stokes,
Archer Williams. and Edoe Chapel (all
coioreD, charged with exhibiting a gamo
called policy or Jug, and William NJ.

gaming in his barroom, under the Po-
lice Court, were arrested yesterday and
locked up in the First police-station.
