Petty ThieVeries.

There has in the past few days been
right considerable stealing of petty
kind from the depois of the railroads.
While little of value has been taken, the
station agents, who have to furnish con-
signees with what is shipped them when
called for, and the yard masters, who
have to keep account of railroad iron
such as coupling pins, etc, are embarras-
sed in making out their reports to their
superiors.
The thieves as a general thing are ne
gro street thieves who will steal anything
they can lay their hands on. Pompey
Harris, a negro youth, one of these
thieves, stole about one hundred pounds
of freight car couplings. He was found
with a bag on his shoulder containing
them. The couplings were in the Police
Court yesterday as an exhibit, and Pom
pey having no defense went TO jail for
thirty days
OF other petty thieves, Philip Enders,
Alber. Lee, and William II. Due, all
negro boys, were charged with stealing
coal from the Newport News and Missis-
sippi Valley railroad. Justice Richard
son gave the mothers of these three boys
the privilege of whipping them in court
or paying fine of s.. The mothers per-
formed the former, and for a space of ten
minutes the toilet-room of the Police
Court was scene of bedlam, caused by
the wells which followed from the leather
straps well laid on. 1t is to be hoped it
proved an wholesome punishment

that their inflow 10 Richmond came from

his companion, Samuels, are in Jail, Is
thought 10 be connected with the spread

the other windows are nicely tinted
For stained windows this one-halt of the

preached. AT each service number of
ministers of other Protestant churches
were present, among whom were noticed
Rev. DR.. Kerr Of the First Presbyterian

1t is the intention OF the vestrymen of
this church to proceed al once with the
erection of the front half, which will in
clude tall spire. Pursuant to the
policy of the Church, the congregation
built as they had the money, and to-day
owe nothing on the present granite
structure. The continuation of the
church edifice will cost very large sum
of money, but the congregation and
vesiry know how in quiet way to raise
ii, and intend doing so. Rev. DR.. ID. F.
Sprigg is the rector, and he is an ener
getic man, hit leader for an energetic
congregation.
The old wooden chapel, which was re-
moved to the rear of the church, will
be continued in use for the present as a

the reduction is not justified by the labor
