DISCRIMINATING THIEVES
They Pick the Best of DIR. Tupper's Fur

nituro and siiverware.
About wear ago the house next door
to the Mozart Academy OF Music on the
north side was rented out for a saloon,
though Judge Witt afterwards refused
to grant q license. At that time large
quantity of household goods belonging
to various people were stored there.
These had to be moved, and Mr..
Leath, who was then managing the Acsd-
envy, gave permission to put the pro-
perty in the basement OF that building.
a rough board partition was knocked up
around the goods. The planks were
wide apart, and access could be easily
had to the inside.
Among the goods so stored were seve-
raj wagon-loads belonging to Rev. Dr.
II. A. Upper. The Doctor went to the
Academy last Tuesday for the purpose
OF removing his effects, and was rather
surprised to find seven fine chairs, tho
same number Of sets of curtains and por-
there's, large marble clock, thirty.two
spoons, nineteen forks, a tureen, three
ladies, and quantity OF other solid and
plated silverware missing.
1t was then remembered that on
March 22d last the basement was broken
into, and as was supposed at the time,
some trihing articles were stolen. The
persons charged with this offence were
arrested in Baltimore. A quantity OF
slverware was found in their possession
at that time and was held by the ponce
there. As no robbery was then known
to have been committed tho matter was
not investigated.
at least a wagon-losd OF goods must
have been stolen from DR.. Tupper, who
places his loss at $3.50. He has tele-
graphed the Baltimore police and they
may possibly succeed in getting back a
portion if not all of the silyerware.
II is thought that the persons who
broke into the Academy are known. one
of them was in the city yesterday.

Horse Guards.


Horse Guards.
Captain Samuel Register, who has
been the efficient and popular COM
mander of the Stuart Horse Guards since
last January, when he was chosen to the
vacancy created by the resignation Of
Captain Euker, has rendered his resigna-
ton TO the Governor on account OF III
health and pressure of business.
Captain Register has discharged the
duties of his position faithfully, and
there will be very general regret at his
enforced retirement. When he took
command of the company it was con-
siderably in debt, but now 1t has not
only been relieved of all financial en-
barrassment, but has a considerable
amount in its treasury.
The name of Major John Fl. Dinneen
is prominently mentioned in connection
with the vacancy.

congressional district. OF which Colonel
Meade Haskins is chairman, has declined
to release Hon. Charles L. O'Ferrall from
his engagements to speak at Belvidere
Hall, in this city, tomorrow night and
in Manchester the following evening.
Mr.. O'Ferrall telegraphed Chairman
Ellyson. and suggested that he be al
lowed to 90 to West Virginia and speak
in Hon. William l.. Wilson's district in
that State. Mr.. Ellyson consulted the
party leaders here, and it was decided to
hold the Congressman to disappointment,
and telegram to that effect was sent to
Mr.. O'Ferrall in Staunton yesterday after
noon. Doubtlessly he will fill his engage
ment here and in Manchester as an
nounced. MIR. Wise also telegraphed
Colonel O'Ferrall, urging him to come
to Richmond, as the people are very
anxious to hear him.
CHANGE OF DATE.
Chairman T. r. B. Wright, Of the

county, where he went to speak IN behalf
of DR.. J. w. Lawson, the Democratic
farmer candidate for Congress, reports
that the Democrats OF Southampton and
of the entire Second district are work
ing with great energy and enthusiasm

THE MECHANICAL SCIENCES.
Efforts Being Made TO Establish South
ern school of Technology.


ern school of Technology.
An effort is being made with great
promise of success TO establish an instl-
tute of technology here. General Dad
ney II. Maury is one of the promoters
Of the scheme, and among others also
giving announcement to this laudable
undertaking are Senators Daniel ana
Barbour, Hon. Basil Gordon, Senator
Kenna, General Stephen ID. Lee, OF
Mississippi, and Hon. J. l.. M. Curry.
II is the wish OF these gentlemen that
n proper institution OF this character,
well-equipped for instructing the youth
of the South in all branches OF science
and mechanics shall be established here,
but it is not their intention to have it at
all local or to interfere with any similar
institution here, but to embrace the
whole South.
Theprojectors believe hat.lichmond,
on account of its extensive manufactu-
ring establishments and located as 1T IS
in a State so rich in all valuable mine
rails, is,especially well adapted for the
home of such an institution.
In nearly oil the western and northern
cities such schools have been establish
ed, and it is thought that.a large part OF
their rapid growth is due to the we'll
trained young men who have received
their educations from such schools.

ORDER TO THE CLANS
THE COMMITTEES ADDRESS TO THE
REPUBLICANS OF THIS DISTRICT.
Though Brief the Paper Is Remarkable for
Its Effrontery--To Make No
Nomination.

The much -talked-ot address which
Mr.. Wray knights Republican commit
tee decided at its meeting nearly week
ago to issue to the voters of the Third
congressional district has been prepared,
though not yet printed, and is presented
below.
The paper, though brief, is q wonder
full document as regards its audacity. 1t
is weak disguise of the fact that the
party leaders have seen full well that
they could not possibly elect their can
didate if they had nominated one.
They appreciate the force Of Captain
Wickham's declaration in his letter de-
clining TO be candidate that the party
is hopelessly disorganized. The pro-
nunciamento will fall fiat and will only
be condemned for its GOODNESS and bold
e1rontery.
THE ADDRESS.
Here is the remarkable production:
HEADQUARTERS THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE,
RICHMOND, Va, October %, 1890.
To the Republicans Of the Third Dis
trict:
Your congressional committee. after
careful and thorough canvass OF the
chances for the success OF electing Re-
publican congressman in this district,
has concluded as follows:
While this district is safely Republic
can under fair administration OF the
elective franchise contemplated III our
Constitution, the introduction OF the
Anderson Mccormick election-law
practically forbids your casting and
having counted Republican ballot If
the emergency demands otherwise :; In
fact. you are about as sure to have your
ballot honestly counted in some pre-
cincts, il allowed to cast it at all, where
this law is administered by unscrupulous
officers as you would be to get the re-
turn of your shekei dropped on "three-
card monte" table.
We, however, by virtue OF the au-
thority vested in us by the party code,
call upon all county, district, and precinct
chairmen, and all committeeman, and
Others in authority throughoutthe district
to use their very best efforts to secure the
registration Of our voters and particularly
to see that the voters whose names were
illegally stricken from the registration
books at the last gubernatorial election
are reregistered. to the end that our party
may at all times be in tact and ready for
a fight whenever it is deemed wise and
expedient. WBAY L. KNIGHT,
Chairman,
