superintendent Eastman says that,
in response to his published invitation,
many citizens have sent in their names.
During the season, the houses of alb
sentees will be thoroughly watched.
First, as soon as house is closed, the
appearance of the surroundings will be
thoroughly noted in way that any
changes can be easily detected. Tres
passes will be as difficult as if the fam
iiy were at home. Daily inspections
Will be made of the premises of all per-
sons desiring them, but of course the
department must be notified before
hand.
The above system will enhance great
iy the value of vacation. Absentees
from home need not be burdened with
daily anxieties about possible Invasions
of their homes bytramps and thieves.

Laura A. Chapman says She Was Oyer
persuaded.

Lou Chapman is now practically out
of the tolls Of the law. Mrs. Chapman
filed petition with the clerk of the
superior court yesterday, asking for the
discharge of the defendant, giving as
reason for this acton that she was
persuaded to make the complaint,
and that 1t was against her own feel
ipgsor wishes, and since she has one
child, little girl years of'age, whose
happiness and welfare she is anxious
about, as mother should be, she en-
ters the petition as above.
As no one made the complaint but
the wife, of course Chapman will be
discharged by the Judge.

The Curtis Case.

THE CHILD AWARDED TO IT'S MOTHER.
The habeas corpus case in Lafayette,
Ind. in which Mrs Lucy Curtis is seeking
to recover the possession Of Nellie, her lit
tie daughter, abducted by it's father, K.
Curtis, in 1888, is drawing to a close and
its conclusion may be expected to-day OF
tomorrow. Messrs. Jas. Bumgardner and
| w. E. Craig, Mrs. Curtis counsel, have
returned here. The witnesses who went
from Staunton for Mrs. Curtis were j. L.
Hutchens, B. F. Terry, Geo. A. Hutche-
son, Jno. G. Fretwell and B. A. Blakemore.
The accounts received from Lafayette,
show that some very startling testimony
was adduced as to the character of K. Cur
tbs.
Mrs. Ella Bartling, wife Of locomotive
engineer, his next door neighbor, testified
that after Curtis brought little Nellie to
Lafayette, she became very fond OF her.
That Curtis proposed to her to take Nellie
to some far off State and adopt her; that
she should get her husband to insure his
life; that he, Curtis, would bring about the
husband death, and they would then mar
ny and 1--we on the insurance money.
Mrs. Morland, the mother of Mrs. Bart
ling, testified that Curtis mother, Mrs.
Adrienne Curtis,) proposed as a means to
get more money out Of Madame Demorest,
that she, Mrs. g. should play crazy and
Mrs. M. was to telegraph the fact to Mad
anne D. and that would bring the money.
Witness said Mrs. Adrienne Curtis several
times rehearsed the crazy character.
While in Lafayette, the Stauntonians WIS.,
tied Mrs. A. D. Cowell, former resident
of this city, and speak high of the hospital
ity extended to them by that lady and her
family.
Since the above was written the following
telegram was received here yesterday even
ing. So great is the sympathy for Mrs.
Lucy Curtis here that there was a general
rejoicing over the news:

The Street Railway.

The work of laying the ties for the street
railway has progressed on Main street from
the D., ID. 6 B. Institution as far as New
street. FSince the ties were laid, the Gospel
Hill incline looks sleeper than ever. and
looks more than ever like it would take an
electric plant to surmount it. At the
present rate of progress there would seem
to be little difficulty in having the cars run
ming to the City Park by July LIST.
On the 31st of May, one hundred mules
were shipped from Kentucky for Staunton.
The company will commence training them
for car service as soon as sufficient stretch
of the track is laid. Twelve cars will be
shipped from st. Louis to Staunton in a
few days.
1t is understood that when car
line is run up Augusta street. the City
Council will release the Valley Turnpike
Co. from their obligation to keep the street
in repair.
