Little wandorer Picked Up.

Shortly before o'clock Yesterday after
noon the police found little white boy,
apparently five or six years old, sitting on
the pavement on Broad street III front OF
the store No. 1lO. and he looked rs though
he might be sick lie was spoken TO, but
could not be gotten to talk at all and the
ambulance was called and he was taken to
the almshouse.
The little fellow, who was barefooted
was quite cold and shivering when taken
mn. but after sitting by the FIRE at the hos.
pital he frightened up and talked little.
lie was unable to tell, however, who he
was or where he lived. Hewas found to be
slightly deaf and is not old enough to carry
on conversation; would only only repeat
words or questions after those who spoke
to him. At midnight il had not been ascer
tanned whose child it is, but 1T IS thought
that the family reside somewhere on Oregon
Hill, as some one on the street sa' d he saw
the child coming from that direction.

conceded to be the best tragedan in the
world. He is under the management of
Mr.. A. Nj. Palmer, of Palmers and Madi-
son-Square Theatres, New York, who has
surrounded him with a company of first
class artists. The play selected for the
opening on Wednesday is Othello. There
can be no question his portrayal of the
character Of the Moor is a strong and eef-
fective piece of acting. When he turns. IN
wrath upon the iago, salyini reaches IN
deed the climax OF fearful conflict, but il
is said to bo a presentation worthy of
study and remembrance.

elegant settings, also presents elaborate

Five years in the penitentiary."
This is the verdict of the jury. and Luz

sentence falls.
The prisoner is an intelligent-l looking
mulatto who has Just well entered man
hood, and the Young lady upon whom he

respected.

mitted several months ago just west OF the

weeks later, but tho trial did not CON-
mence until Thursday morning.

TO DISCUSS THE eLEcTloN-LAws.
Democratic Caucus Tomorrow Nighs u
Consider This and Other Subjects.

Consider This aud Other Subjects.
The Democratic members of the General
Assembly will hold caucus IN the hall OF
the House of Delegates at O'Clock TO-
morrow night. The committees who have
been on tour of inspection of some OF tho
public institutions of the State are ex-
pected to return to-day, and it is antici-
pated that there will be full attendance.
One of the objects of the conference Is
to nominate county judges to MI the va
cancies existing in the County Courts OF
Northampton and Wise-one occasloned
by the death of Hon. Hamilton ). Neale
and the other by the resignation Of Hon.
I. G.. Wells. This matter viii take but q
few minutes. rs the district delegates VIII
practically make the selections. :,
Then the remainder of the evening Will
be consumed in the discussion of the
policy 10 be pursued with reference TO ce.-
tain subjects of legislation. Among the
branches TO be taken up If time permits are
the election-laws. debt measures. pubic
institutions and their management, and
questions Of financial policy.
The last named will perhaps receive the
most liberal attention. though changes in
the electiOn-laws are chiefly what the
caucus has been called for.
The amendatory pension bill which Is
now pending in tho House on It's passage
will perhaps be given preference on tins
line. rs its passage will entail considera-
bic draft on the Treasury. The sentiment
in favor of this bill "a one Of decided merit
is unanimous. but the question that ha:
been raised and which the caucus will pro-
baby have 20 determine is whether the
condition Of the States finances Will adj
NIT of the increased expenditures In this
direction.
The public institutions will doubtless
come in for share of consideration, ane
it IL thought likely that the advisability o
suggesting more equal distribution amons
the counties of members of their boards
than now exists will be talked over. The
expenditures of the institutions may als'
figure in the discussion.
Whether any change shall be made as t.
the powers and duties of the Board o
Agriculture and of the Commissioner o
that department will probably be consid
cred if not pushed aside by other subject!
which will be given precedence.
There are plenty of subjects to be talkeC
over and the conference promises TO b'
the most interesting one of the winter
The election-laws alone would afford ampl
food for the entire evening.

REV. DR.. r. L. DABNEY.
The Account of His Death Not Corrobo-
rated.

Several days ago the Raleigh CORE
spondent of the DisDdtcl. autographed that
the news Of the death Of the. venerable
Rev. DIR. Dabney had reached there nom
Austin. Tex. No confirmation OF this
having been received from quarters from
which it would naturally have been ex-
pected doubts began to be aroused, ana 20
solve them the Dispnfch sent telegram 10
the son OF DR.. Dabney-Protessor Charies
W. Dabney, Of Knoxville, Tenn. VINO an
swered rs follows
KNOXVILLE. TEES.. February 10. 1880.
To Richmond Dispatch:
Ny father is ill in Austin. Tex. His
condition was unchanged YESTERDAY.
CHARLES w. DADsEY. JR.
PERSONAL.
DR.. Dabney. who if about .seventy-four
years old. was for a quarter OF century q
professor in the Union Theological SEMI
nary at Hampden-Sidney College, In
Prince Edward county, Va. lie removed
70 Austin, Tex, and becamea professor IN
the hope Of regaining his health which
had become seriously impaired IN
Virginia. He Is one of the most
accurate and profound scholars on the
continent, o master in all the departments
of theological lore. skilled in the exact
sciences. and well versed in general litera-
tUre. As a preacher ne is logical. impress
sive. and intensely orthodox. lie has been
q voluminous writer, and preparatlons are
now making for the publication OF MS
many contributions to divinity and po-
leinics. As an original thinker, an accom-
plished teacher, and versatile scholar, he
has no superior in this country. His death
would be in many respects the greatest
loss the Southern Presbyterian Church
could sustain.
Or. Dabney was on General Stone
wall JacksOn's staff during the war, and
subsequently, wrote the life OF Jackson. In
addition to his duties now az Professor OF
Mental and Moral Philosophy in the Uni
versity of Texas he is Professor OF Theology
in the Theological Seminary at AUSTIN
which latter institution was founded by
him.
Mr.. DABNFY's GOLDEN WEDDING.

Hanover Junction, Ya.,. q brother OF the
Roy. DIR. Dabnev, will celebrate his golden
wedding on Tuesday next. Captain Dab
ney is in his eighty-second year, and his
wife. who was Miss Watkins, Is about
seventy-six.
A number of Richmond relatives and
friends will 90 up to Hanover for the occa-
sion. Preparations for this event were
suspended while the news of DR.. Dabney's
death was in doubt, but there is now no
reason why it should not take place, as the
Doctor is probably in not much worse
health than he has been for several years.
NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.
In answer to telegraphic query sent
by tho Dispatch last night the following
was received:
AusrIS, Tex. February 15.-Professor
Dabney, Of the Texas University. has been
