Mysterious Assault.

Mr.. J. Sutton keeps the store at the Val
ley Ry. Depot at Verona. On Friday night
neighbor sent to his house, which is a
few yards from the depot, to ask that he
would flag the SAB train for Staunton the
next morning and put her cOlored cook
aboard of it, He sent word that he would.
That night he slept at the depot store with
his little son. About o. clock in the morn
ing he heard walking on the platform, and
thinking it to be the cook who had arrived,
got up and opened the store door. 1t proved
to be three colored men, who after asking
and getting permission walked in. After
buying some ginger cakes they stood around
the stove talking for an hour. They said
they were the cook sons. All that MI.
Sutton remembers is that he was sitting
struck him senseless, probably with slung
shot. His nose was broken. When he
came to, half hour after, they were gone.
He got to the money drawer but found the
money still in it. The cook came a little
after o'clock and finding him so injured
washed the blood from his face. He does
not know whether any robbery of his goods
was committed, not having looked over the
stock since, being confined to his bed at
home. Two colored men of StauntOn have
been arrested as the assailants. 1t is sup
posed a magistrate's examination may dis
close the motive of this mysterious
assault.

Fire.

On Monday night last the Masonic Building
Oh Main street took fire. Its first floor is oc-
cupied by Adams Express Co., the VIM
DICTATOR counting room, and Lou +. Alloys
clothing store. The second floor is used
by the INDICATOR as a printing office
and the third is used as a Masonic lodge.
The fire originated in small lumber room
used by this office, and the alarm was given
at 9:15, The flames were confined by the
firemen to space ten feet square and that
space in both the second and third stories
was burned out.
The goods OF Mr.. Abby were damaged by
water, the out-closets of the printing office
were destroyed, and on the third floor some
regalia that cannot be replaced was de-
troyed.
The firemen working inside the building
were put to great disadvantage from the
fact that a gas meter had melted, and
large stream of gas pouring out combined
with the smoke to stife them. They
bravely held to their work and kept the
flames in the corner space above named.
The Department executed the feat OF
introducing hose through the window OF a
printing office, running it across the entire
length of the composing room, and playing
on the burning portion, withouts SO much as
disturbing a type OIL moving a case. News
paper men will understand the difficulty of
this feat.
Mr.. Alloys loss, which was from the
down-pour of water from the upper floor,
was several hundred dollars; the VINDICA-
TOR lost but few dollars worth, but the
Masonic lodge which OWNS the building,
will probably lose 81, 900. All the parties
were insured. Mr.. Abby with Mr.. Arista
Hoge; the building with Arista Hoge,
w. A. Burke, and Ker & May, and the
INDICATOR material with MI. j. e. Guy
of the Virginia Fire and Marine.
The origin of the fire is uncertain, but
it is believed it was hot GOALS in the ash box
which lay near some fre-wood.

Concerts at Mt. Zlon Church.

The two concerts by the colored vocalist,
Miss Belle f. Gibbons Of Charlottesville, lat
Mt Zion Colored Baptist church, Monday
and Tuesday nights, deserved a larger at
tendance. She has 2 voice of remarkable
compass, having a depth OF which CON
tralto might well be proud and a height
that would make the reputation of asoprano.
Its volume is as remarkable as it's compass.
Among the whites who attended the con-
certs were accomplished teachers from the
female colleges and they were warm in their
praise of the yocalist's performance. The
troupe consisted Of four persons, including
one male singer, all from Charlottesville.
1t would have done better here, as far as
the whites We're concerned, had it not been
for attractions going on on the same nights
at other points in the city.
