4 safe Badly Needed for Their Keeping.
That there is great need for an iron
safe ia the Police Court daily becomes
more apparent. The Sergeant of the
,ourt has in his charge gold and silver
watches, other valuables, and money
taken from prisoners which has to be kept
until The causes are dispOeed Of. He has
had in his possession diamonds OF the
value Of several hundred dollars at one
line, which were stolen. The only re-
ceptacle for the aft-keeping of all these
valuables which the city or the Board OF
Police Commissioners have vOuchsafed,
is an old wooden cupboard. into which
one could get with rusty knife.
Ii is of course unnecessary 10 say that
the Sergeant of the court never put such
valuabes az The above described In the
old cupboard, most of The articles he has
kept in his personal possession. .
Yesterday he had valuable gold
watch and 1870 4G taken from the person
Of one burglar without any place TO put
them The best he could do was TO put
lhe money, a large lot Of 1t being silver,
some OF it gold, the balance paper, and
The watch in a satchel, and ask one of the
banks of the city to allow it being placed
in a vault, which they kindly consented
10 do
Some provision for the absolute safe
keeping of these yaluables should be
furnished the court. The Police Justice
and The Sergeant Of the court are per
sonally responsible for everything which
through the operation of The law comes
| into their hands.

THE BLAINE PARADE.

Sheridan's Death.

Will 1t he Postponed on Account of Gen.
Sheridan's Death.
WAsHINGToN, August THE New
York World this morning says that some
apprehension was felt yesterday by the
management of the Blaine parade as TO
whether the death of Sheridan would not
interfere with their plans. 1t was ad-
mitted that it would hardly do to have
the parade on the same day of the dis
linguished Generals funeral. Nothing
was known, however, as to the date OF
General Sheridan's funeral, and the com
mittee was unable to say what course
they should pursue.
1t is thought that the steamer will
surely arrive TO morrow and all the prep.
arations are being made with view of
having the parade Thursday night. Iii
barely possible, however, that the date
NAV be changed, either owing to delay in
Mr. Blaine's coming or on account OF
Sherdan's funeral being fixed for that
day Captain Whalen of the Revenue
Marine Service said Yesterday that the
Civ of New York might arrive WedneS-
day afternoon, but he would not be sur.
prised if she did not get in before Thurs
day morning. In the first place the
steamer was eight hours behind her
scheduled time in leaving Queenstown,
and her machinery being new the officers
would not dare run her at full speed

BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS.
A More Secure Box Needed at the Exhibi
tion Grounds.


At all Of the State fairs Of previous
wears The place where thieves, pickpock- =
cts and criminals in general arrested on
he fair grounds were locked up was Il
wooden concern, which has often been
tightly designated as a box. Of course,
when person is arrested, tand thieves
and pickpicEets abound at these fairs,
and will be on hand al the forthcoming
Exposition,) he cannot be brought all the
way 10 Richmond at once, because ii
would require the attendance Of an
officer, and thus keep most of them
away from the grounds.
This box, as il has been so often called
vas never any place for crooks and ex-
perts. because as people would be con
stantly leaving the ground they would
lind little if any difficulty in escaping
from their place Of confinement and
from Justice.
Something better should be done this
year. Our vgilant police will arrest
every sharper discovered plying his ne.
fariOus trade This class of men are keen
and shrewd, and it requires a strong cell
in which 10 lock them, one from which
here is no way of getting out, excepting
when under the escort of the officers Of
he law. The indefatigable President of
the Virginia Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Association should give an eye to this.
There should be erected suitable Guild
ing or room partitioned off, in which
should be constructed two strong cells, on
the grounds, rs most needed adjunct to
the efforts Of the police.
There will, of course, be no doubt that
some arrangement OF this character will
he perfected The police and the special
police assisting them when they capture
4 thief, can lcck him up securely and
ook out for others and march them in a
body after night TO one Of the stations
in the city.

clined to go into details regarding

called to the request of the En-
glish Government ior respite, and
the Importance OF this request was

attorneys. The alleged unfairness of the
trial was again described, and fully two
hours were consumed In arguing the
plea. Then the Governor gave mis- de
cision. tie saw nothing in the case that
called for his interference. The petition
Of Lord Salisbury was The same to him as
any other petition, and he proposed to do
