Mr.. Rick and the Bible.


A few days ago it was reported that
Mr. Alois Kick had refused TO kiss the
Bible in The Police Court on the ground
That ii would poison him. Fearing lest
his motive might be misconstrued, he re
quests the publication Of the following
card:
RICHMOND, June %, 1888.
Ia tie Public:
As different repo Is in yesterdays pa
pers about my refusal TO kiss that only
Bible in the Police Court may leave an
erroneous impression on my fellow -citi-
zcns, beg leave 10 state that declined
to do so on account of the dirty and
greasy condition of the outside, and also
in case before mine ii was kissed by
parties from Cash Corner, who appeared
To me, and think TO others, as not being
in good health.
Iregard the Holy Bible just as highly
as anybody, and have been connected
for many years with St. Johns German

Police Court is not furnished with more
than one Bible; the Hastings Court of

AT the regular meeting Of Gen. U. S.
Grant Camp Sons OF Veterans last night,
it was unanimously resolved to eonsti-
tute the camp an artillery company, and
to uniform and equip as such at once.
The uniforms will be the regulation,
which is the same as that OF the artillery
service of the U. S. army-blue with
scarlet trimmings and the usual side
arms. Several applications for mem
bcrship were received.
Since the National EnCampment the
order in this vicinity has had quite u
boom. Last Saturday night Col. Bagu.
Icy, Adjutant DunningtOn and several
other leading Sons Of Vetrans, went to
Benwood to organize camp there. The
organization will be completed on Sat
urday evening, September !, and the
PROSPECTS are that one OF the largest and
best camps in the State will be formed.
Applications for new camps are. also be-
ing received from other counties, among
them Monongalia, Doddridge, Tyler,

Molilo AckIln Knocked Down and Robbed

Moliic AcItIln Knocked Down and Robbed
by u Man.
CrxcIxxArI, August 27.-Particulars of
n highway robbery which was perpe-
trated about 1880 o'clock Saturday night
were developed at police headquarters
Yesterday. The victim OF the festive
iootpad was Miss Mollie ACklin, u mid
dle.nged woman, employed at the board
ing.housc ll3 Smith street. Last Satur-
day evening she Hnd couple OF lady
friends started out, intending to take a
ride on the Walnut Hills cable road.
While standing Mt Sixth and Walnut
streets waiting for car they were met
by three men, who proposed to accom-
pany them, and were permitted so to DO.
The men, according TO Miss Acklin,
looked and acted like gentlemen, but
this it seems, one o! them. ut least, was
anything but.
Boarding car the party went up to
Felihaus' Garden, where dance was
in progress. AS there were three men
ana the same number OF women the
marty split into pairs. After enjoying
themselves at Feldhaus' until about 10
o'clock, Miss Acklin, being desirons OF
reaching home before it grew late, pro-
nosed starting in that direction. AS no
car was in sight at the time one OF the
men proposed walking, at least part OF
the way, until the car should catch up
with them. !,
At the garden some talk was indnlgcd
in about pocket-books and how women
carried them, Miss Acklin having dis
plavel her purse, in which she had
twcnty-one dollars and n check for
thirty.eight dollars on the First National
Bank of Hillsboro, Ohio, and WHICH was
rendered rather bulky by the fact that
the most OF the money. was in silver.
No donht thinking that there was much
more in the pocket-bOoE than there
really was, the coveteousness Of her
companion was evidently aroused, and
the proposed walk but a part OF his plans
TO secure it. In this he was no doubt

aged TO get about 4 square apart, one
being in front and the other behind
Miss Acklin and her companion.
When the Tower Of Rlsinore, or Eden
Park entrance was reached, the young
man who was with Miss Ackiin asked
her to take the other side Of the side
walk, offering trivial excuse for his
request, which, however, the lady com:
piled with. While she was in the act Of

pocketbook and disappear in the dark
ness, up the side Of the hill into the
park. -,
ON recovering consciousness, the lady
screamed, thereby attracting several
persons, one Of whom pretended to be
detective, but did not make any effort
to pursue the fugitive thief. Aside
from the loss OF her money, which was
all she possessed, the unfortunate woman
was severely bruised about the head
where she was struck by the rutiian who
robbed her.

WASHINGTON, d. G., August 7.-Judge
Faulkner has been on the rampage fol
for several days over the bill which
slipped through the Senate while the
West Virginia Senators were at the statc
Democratic convention, taking from
United States District Courts Circuit
Court powers. This bill would affect
West Virginia seriously, should it be-
come u law, as it woTidthrowa all Federal
Circuit Court business at Wheeling,
Clarksburg and Charleston to Parkers-
burg or Martinsburg, which have regu-
lar Circuit Courts by law. The bill was
originally introduced by Senator
Jones to apply only to his State
(Arkansas). 1t was referred to the
Judiciary Committee, and the committee
found that in five States, including West
Virginia, the district court had circuit
court powers, and the Republican mem
bers OF the committee framed bill cOv-
ering them all. Until this report was
made our Senators did not know what
was going on. Judge Faulkner imme-
diately opened correspondence, among
others with Judge Jackson, who wrote
long letter opposing the bill, which
was submitted to Chairman Edmunds.
Edmunds was not influenced, and the
bill passed. He says it is wrong, for one
thing, that in a murder case an appeal
from district judge should lie to the
same man sitting as circuit Judge.
Faulkner offered Il comprOmise-that
Wheeling, Charleston and Clarksburg
be designated as circuit court places,
but Edmunds would not have it. The
bill has been scotched in the House Ju-
dietary Committee.
Judge Rogers, who has it in charge,
has promised that it shall not be report
ed with West Virginia in it. He told
Captain Snyder to-day il was all right
for West Virginia. The delegation, in
Guiding General Gol, jumped on the
bill with both feet. Senator Faulkner
says there need be no fear now that it
will pass. Should the bill get through,
however, in spite of the efforts OF our
men it will play smash with federal
court litigation, especially at Charles
ton. This was genuine war and not a
scheme to divert attention from tariff
issues,

ROBERT GARRRT INSANE.


RNGwooD, n. j., August 2G.-Robert
CARROTS friends made up their minds
several weeks ago that the Brevoort
House was no longer proper place in
which TO care for him. His case was be-
coming extremely critical. There was
no doubt he was insane. The noise OF
pasaing wagons, and the hustle and eX'
citement OF the hotel were too great, and
an endeavor was made TO secure quiet
retreat. Mayor Hewitt, who has been q
good friend OF Mr.. Garrett, advised that
a visit be made to Ringwood. There is
here the absolute quiet OF the forest
The Mayors estate at Ringwood, just at
the upper end Of New Jersey, is Sc
cluded by nature, and distant from set
Elements. The nearest village TO Ring
wood is Sloatsburg, in New York State.
Word was sent TO New York last week
that things would be all ready for them
by Monday, and it was. expected here
that the removal OF Mr.. Garrett would
he made to-day, hut the family were
anxious to get Mr.. Garaett out OF the
city sooner than that, and it was decided
to make the trip Sunday. To avoid pub
lie curiosity it was decided to remove
Mr.. Garrett very early Sunday morning.
The party reached RingwOOd all right,
and those who came up on the train say
tina. Mr.. Garrett stood the trip very
well. There were physicians aud keep
crs with him. Once out here, Mr.. Gar
rett was taken TO room on the second
story OF the house, to the left of the
main entrance,
A reporter drove up the dark, hilly
road that passes through the Hewitt es-
tate, and, winding past the Mayors
brightly lighted house, leads between
bushes and thickets to the old Miller
house. a kindly faced man came into
the reception room. Mr.. Garrett, he |
said, was very sick, but they counted on
his being better here.
ave hope to be here for several
months" the speaker added. "Mr.
Garrett himself wanted something like
this, and we got it for him. The hotel
was too public and the streets too noisy.
Here We have every opportunity to care
for him, aud only his family and friends
are ut hand"
A moment after this there came
noise from overhead, and a husky voice
shouted:
eyes, Robert Garrett is here, and he is
alive"
Just as the sound ceased there were
heard other voices, us ii the attendants
were making assent and endeavoring to
calm the excited man, but he was not
calmed, and there rang out Il cry OF
"Murder!" followed by the words, "Ah!
Robert Garrett. Yes; Robert Garrett is
here and alive, too" Again the voices
OF the attendants were heard, but their
words could not be made out, and then
there was u laugh, or something like il,
and one could hear Garrett pounding us
il on II table with his fist, callinga meet
ing TO order. Then he uttered n series
OF sentences incoherently and rapidly,
but he ended with the words:
81 will close with these gentlemen
now" Then his hand falling on the1
table or wall emphasized his sentence re-
peated again, 81 will close with these
gentlemen" as il he had been negotiat-
ing sale or transfer OF Baltimore & Ohio
interests. His removal seems to have
excited him, and he is violent, ut least
in language.
