Especial telegram TO the Dispstch.l
LURAY, Va, February 25.-Tom Olden
atlas Thomas jackson (colored) was ar
rested to-day at Fox-Mountain ore-bank,
in Rockingham county, by Sheriff j. N.
Chapman, of this county, upon the
charge of killing William Broyles (col-
ored), near Middleburg, Loudoun coun-
ty, Va, in the spring of 1886. The
sheriff arrived here tonight with his
prisoner, and he is now safely housed in
Jail. Olden has been around Mines, in
this county, for week or more past,
where he went by the name of jackson.
He was seen and recognized by colored
resident of Mines, who formerly lived
in Loudoun county, and who knew both
the prisoner and his victim. This dis
covery led to the arrest of Olden, who
made no resistance. He was given a
hearing before justice to-day, in Mines,
and admitted the charge, but stated that
he killed Broyles in drunken row or
difficulty by striking him over the head
with a stick. The killing, he claims,
was done in self-defence. The Loudoun
authorities have been notified Of Oldens
arrest, and he will remain incarcerated
here until the arrival of the Loudoun
officials.

Mr. Daniel r.. Tompkins died sud
denly yesterday morning at G:35 O'Clock
at his residence, No. 1906 Ross street.
Deceased had suffered both from heart
and lung troubles for some years, but no
one expected his demise. About a year
ago Mr.. Tompkins's physician said he
might drop of at any time, but this eN-
citement wore off and the family hardly
realized his trae condition.
Mr. Tompkins was a member of the
committee appointed to arrange for the
approaching convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and gave
much of his time to this work, in which
he felt deep interest. Sunday night,
fearing that some of the delegates from
a distance might reach the city and
come TO the headquarters OF the
committee, which are but two
doors below where he boarded, he
slept down there. de left his family and
friends about 10 O'Clock, when he was IN
fine spirits and apparently as well as he
had been for some months. He was
seized with a severe hemorrhage soon

WINNERS FROm TEE WEST.
The Senators Drop a Game Here to
tue DotFOtts.

Between 500 and 1000 persons wit
messed the first Of series OF three games
Of base ball played at Boschen's Park
yesterday afternoon between the Detroit
and Washington clubs. 1t was one OF
the finest exhibitions Of ball-playing ever
given in Richmond. and one of the best
features of the contest was that 1t lasted
but one hour and twenty minutes. Tn
TIL within a few minutes Of its close 1t was
anybody's game.
The fight was a lively and spirited one
throughout, aud the boys from the far
Northwest only succeeded in scoring
their winning run in the last inning,
after two of their number had been re-
tired. A novel thing to our people was
tie appearance in the field Of two mm-
pires-ono behind the bat and the other
back Of second base. 1t WAS amusing to
see how thoroughly the Senators deaf
and dumb centre fielder, Hoy. understood
the signs Of his Captain. His fielding and
batting. coupled with the fiold-work Of
Rowe, Nicholson, and Myers, consti-
tuted the specialties of the game.

not buy the bulk Of their purchases,

When you once get your customer IN

YOU can do, If you DO not please him
then it is yoHr fault. 1t Is true that
some Of our citizens-and good ones,

make all effort 10 buy from them. As
these very often feel like giving al eK-

convinced Of any advantage Of buying
at home, so we let them alone and tura
