JOE LUCAS BEFORE COURT.
Case Continued ON Account OF the Alb
sence of His Counsel.

There was large crowd present at the Po-
lice Court yesterday morning, u beng
known that the continued case OF Joseph
Lucas, charged with "kiling and numbering
Thomas Grafton with a rock,' would be
called for preliminary examination. All OF
the less important cases on the docket were
dlsposed OF before this one was taken up.
While the accused was IN the prisoners pen
waiting for his case TO be reached he sat in
somewhat meditaive mood, and occasionally
eyinced slight interest in The proceedings
OF the court. Fleming, who is charged win
assault upon Grafton, remained on Luclss
left side, and most OF the time was in
STOPPING posture.
When Sergeant Thomas called LucsS's
name he walked out and stood in front Of the
bar, leaning back against 1t. He appeared
nerfeetly calm, and when asked questions
answered them in clear tone OF voice and
without hesitation. While he looked thought
ful and bis face wore an expression OF care,
he was not nervous, as would naturally be
expected OF 80 young person faced with as
grave q charge.
When the witnesses bad been called and all
OF them responded Justice Richardson asked
Lucas If he had any counsel. He replied
that he had retained Mr.. Z. V. Meredith. but
that he was not present. He had not seen
MIR. Meredith since the case was called last
Thursday week, and did not know why lie
was not present. A friend OF his said that he
had called ut Mr.. Meredith's office during the
morning, but be was not there.
Baiilf Tim Murphy telephoned for Mr..
Meredith, but could not learn where be was,
and after consultation with some OF the wit
nesses as to their convenience in the matter
Jnstice Richardson continued the case until
fpfr LlnnaIngfc a. a I.
was not called at all. but continued until the
same time. and both parties were committed
TO jail.
Lncas is said to be twenty-one years old,
but does not look TO be over nineteen or
twenty, Tie Is spare-built, about feet lOt
inches tall, and appears to weigh about 100
| mounds. He has a bair-lip, and narrow,
| long. boyish.looking face, with the slightest
| fuz On If. which can only be seen on close
examination. He wore an old suit OF clothes,
the pants OF which are gray. the vest plaid
| and the coat checked; rundown collar, no
cufYs. and q polka. dot blue tie, which was
united and dangled loosely from the front OF
his collar. Lucas has dark skin, and his hair
| is almost black.
Fleming appears several years older, is
perhaps not quite as tall as Lucas, but OF
| stouter build.
A witness VINO was III court !esleluay
morning but who was not examined at the
inquest held the afternoon before in CONVEX
sation with q Dispatch reporter said that he
had been down town on the night oil the oc-
| currepce and was returning home; that
Lucas deliberately walked up behind Graf
ton, who was talking with another gentle
man, ard struck Grafton on the head with
the stone, knocking him down, and then ran
off

The Hollywood Association.


A meeting OF the Hollywood Memorial
Association was held at the residence Of the
president on Friday the Sth. The ladies
were very much gratitied at the success Of
the "Afternoon Tea" which took place at
the Soldiers Home, having realized over
three hundred dollars clear OF all expenses.
A resolution was passed returning thanks 10
all who so generously aided them, and also
to those who contributed so much 70 the
success OF the celebration on memorial
day. Special mention should be made
OF Mr.. Craddock, who rendered such faith
full service in the Confederate grounds; the
florists OF Richmond, who always contribute
literally on that day; the Richmond Ice
Company, who furnish cool water for he
vast crowd. The ladies are greatly encou-
ragged, and II the good work already begun
goes on with the interest manifested this
spring the marking OF the graves will soon
be an accomplished fact. A vote OF thanks
was unanimously accorded the Richmond
rress and Me,srs. Baugbman Brothers for
valuable advertising ana printing, without
which no measure ever succeeds.

OUR LIBERAL LAWS.
A CHARTER GRANTED By A CITY COURT
FOR A GUE-fACT0RY.
II. However, Seems to be the Intsntion to
Establish the Plant in New
York,

JUDGE Beverley X. Wexford, Jr., OF tue
City Circuit Court, yesterday gianted a
charter OF incorporation to "The Calling
Ordnance Company which is formed for
the purpose OF casting, finishing, manuiac-
turing, and selling guns made OF cast steel
or other metal suitable for army and naval
purposes and for other purposes and Tor
general manufacturing. The company Is TO
have control OF the patents OF Dr. X. j. Cat
ling for Improvement in apparatus Tor cast
ing recently obtained 10 the United states,
numbered $50. 1855. and serial No. 2i5,0S0,

KODert Ma0uutlHtI, dhu MAUI ~ - - 80
The signatures Of all OF these gentlemen eS-
cept Captain Wise are sworn to before
George Ii. Carey. commissioner for Virginia
in the State Of New York.
THE REASON WHY.
The petition for the charter was brought
to Richmond by Mr.. Flynn, the New YORK
fnaucier, who is prominently CONNECTED
with the Electric railway and other enter
pr,ses here and was presented to the Court
bv Captain John :. Wise, the only Virglnlan
In the directory, or, as far as knO"n' the
oply one interes ed 10 the matter.
This company. it is understood, does not
propose to establish any gun.factory in Viz
gnis, but will have a large one IN the Norm,
perhaps In New York, where Calling breec6-
loading and other guns and firearms will be
made. The leading spirit in the movement Is
DR. Calling. A large plumber OF other northern
companies, like this one, have gotten charters
IN Virginia TO do business in New York, as
for instance the Fawcet and other companies
in which Flynn is interested, which have
been recently incorporated by Judge we'll
ford.
The reason why this is done is that under
a recent act OF the New York Assembly AL
charters granted in that State are taxed
per cent, while the charters obtained here
are Just as good for operations in any other
State and are not taxed at all.
By obtaining this charter here the COM
pauy saves at least $4,000.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Can you not soy q word or two in your
columns in behalf OF the hard-worked dry
goods clcrki
Now that the hot weather is upon us Is IL
tight that the employers should tenJthen The
time for their employees 10 work instead OF
sh0rteningiti Yet some OF them have done
so.
IL is OF the lady clerks your correspondent
shall speak the gentlemen cad speak Tor
themselves). The usual time for ladies' to
work has heretofore been from O'Clock A..
VI. to O'Clock T.. NJ. AL we want Is to
shorten the day by one hour during the hot
months, as some houses have already done
say from the 18th OF June TO the 18th OF Sep
tember-we work from to O'Clock.
What lady who frequents dry-goods
houses but has noticed the tired, sick, worn.
out look on the shop-grs face In the sum
mer timer
Would not that hour OF quiet rest or re-
creation be Of great benefit to them! In most
cases venture to say that that hour would
be spent In sewing. In mendlng and darnlng
clothes, that but for that hour might be worn
ragged, or perhaps 1t might be spent in as
sisiing or relieving poor, ailing, tired mo-
Their OF some OF her evening duties.
We appeal 10 the adies-to ladies' who buy
drv goods. win they not do something for
us? viii they not buy In the morning or
any time before o'clockin the evening.
II 1t is uncomfortable To 20 out an hour or
two earlier than you would like, go any how
and thereby help your less fortunate sister,
who knows not one hour OF comfort the
whole day long. In the name OF Christianity
We ask you this.
Close at O'Clock and all hands will be
made happy. The clerks because they may
have chance TO get breath OF pure air be-
fore going to bed and because tits happl-
ness to know that they work for men who
have hearts in their bosoms. And the pro-
pretors will be no less happy to know that

thizing with his employees bard lot 10 life

SOMETHING NOT NEARLY so SATISFACTORY AS
THE MUSIC OF HARDMAN.
The emusic Of the Spheres" has been
referred to by poets and by writers who
dearly love to use expressions whose mean.
ing is, to say the least, obscure. No one
ever heard the spheres make music, and
most spheres have other business to attend
to. But even II such music could be heard
it would not possess half the beauty or SYM
pathetic quality which are the characteristics
Of the melody evolved by Hardman Plano.
IL is the perfection OF instrumental music,
ard closely approaches in heart.reOching,
soul touching, emotion.stirring qualities the
music Of cultivated, sympathetic human
voice. These pianos have taken firm hold
on the public heart, and the list OF pur-
chasers IN this vicinity establishes this claim
most firmly. Walter d. Moses & Co., sole
