STABBED HIM IN THE CHEST.
The Charges Against Fiournoy Continued
Until saturday-Other Cases.


Emma Walker, a colored girl about ff-
teen years old, and Mary Parker, few
wears her senior, were before the Police
Court yesterday morning charged with as
| saulting, cutting, and woundlng Grant
Watson with knife, with intent to kill.
The evidence showed that Emma and
| Grant had quarrel on Seventeenth street
Saturday night and that the former
plunged dull knife into Grants chest,
declaring at the time that she intended TO
be a second Annie Taylor. Mary Parker,
| it appeared. kept the infuriated girl from
inhicting the second and perhaps what
might have been fatal wound, instead OF
being connected with the tragedy herself
The wound WAS sewed up by physician,
| and no serious consequences are antlcl-
pated. Grant was IN court.
Emma was sent on TO the grand jury and
Mary was discharged. Jealousy was the
| cause of the trouble.
FLoURNoY's MANY TROUBLES.
When the name of J.. T. FlournOy. the
circumstances in connection with whose
arrest on Saturday for petty thieving from
trains on the Richmond and Danville rail-
road were published in Sundays Dispdtch,
was called tall, well-propOrtioned, and
neatly dressed young man of rather striking
appearance responded.
There were eight cases on the docket
against him, in all of which he was charged
with larceny. The different warrants
charged him with stealing umbrellas, the
property of L. II. Loyal and j. w. Mosby,
one umbrella, the property of some person
unknown, and three overcoats and lot OF
wearing apparel. all the property OF un-
known persons. and a military overcoaI,
| the property of Colonel Cameron. or
North Carolina.
While the court was in session A. It. Ellis,
a colored man who lives in New York, came
in and identified one of the umbrellas re-
covered as his property. This made the
ninth charge.
The accused was represented by Mr. j.
Samuel Parrish, who stated that they were
not prepared TO go into q trial and made a
motion for bail.
MIR. Samuel Nj. Page. who represented
the, prosecution, opposed the motion for
bail, and during his argument stated that
ne thought trial would develop the fact
that the prisoner had committed q felony.
He also desired a postponement in order TO
collect evidence.
! The Justice consented to continue the
case until Saturday, but declined TO bail.
There are seven oyercoats and three um-
brellas, which; 1t is alleged, were stolen by,
flournoy, IN the possession of the crler OF
the court, which are being held for identi--
fication. The satchel which Flournoy had
in his possession at the time of his arrest IS
thought to be the property of S. Haymans,
bl6 Broadway, New York. who was on ms
way TO Norfolk. The satchel was stolen
Saturday morning from the passenger
train OF the Atlantic-C Coast Line at the
Union depot.
There are also two other satchels among
tne articles recovered, one of which sort
tin case, is filled with artists supplies,
brushes, &c. All Of this thieving appears
to have been done from the through trains
from West Point. which lay over here Tor
some time. before going South, and the
trains leaving Richmond at Q p. II.
