The First Solree of the New Year.

A very pleasant evening was spent in the
chapel of the augusta Female Seminary on
Saturday last by those who were fortunate
enough to have secured tickets, the Occa-
sion being song recital by the pupils of
Mrs. Darrow's class. AS the entertainment
was private one and given only to the i'm
mediate friends and patrons of the Semlna-
ry, a limited number of invitations were
sent out; but to those who attended, one of
the most enjoyable concerts ever given at
the Seminary, was vouchsafed. The recital
was the first Of it's kind given this year by
the vocal pupils, and exhibited such skill on
the part of the teacher and such harmony
and sweetness in the voices of the young
ladies', that more than passing notice
should he given each. The opening and
closing choruses were sung with much
volume and accuracy, while the duets and
solos were sweet and well rendered. The
programme rendered was as follows:
Chorus-"Ring out, We Bells .............. Abt.
Duet-"I waited for the Lord" Mendelssohn.
Misses Williams and Colbert
Solo-"Ah! have sighed to rest me, Verdi
M ISIS Hill.
Solo-'sUna Voce POGO Fla, .Rossini
Miss Ella Paris.

The remarkable voice of Miss Fannie
Colbert of Indian Territory, was perhap!
the success of the evening, blending with
equal sweetness and expression in either a
contralto OIL soprano part, her solo ''Erna
ni' by Verdi, was voclferously applaudet
and as encore she gave ''The Last Rose O
Summer" The duets sung with her b.
Misses Williams and Robertson, also re
fected much credit upon those young ladies
their solos each evinced accuracy and cul
ture. A solo by Miss Mathews with violil
obligato, Master Meyer, was very good ant
lent a pleasant variety to the programme
Miss Ella Paris sang with much expires
sion, her voice showing great culture. In
the duet she sang with Miss Hill The twt
voices harmoniZed beautifully. Miss Hill
herself sang very sweetly and her solo from
II Trovatore, ''Ah, 1 have sighed to res
me. - was much enjoyed. The sextette b.
Misses Viehe, Renick, Poston, Melvin
Bellamy and Orto, was also very well zen
dered.

The subject of roads has again come up,
and in the Board of Supervisors of Augusta
last Saturday the following resolution was
adopted:
WHEREAS, The present road system of the
county OF Augusta requires the expenditure
OF large sum OF money Cover 100000 having
been expended since the Inauguration of the
present system, besides the labor of the tith-
ables of the county, without such improve
ment in our roads as in our opinion should be
realized from so large an expenditure of
money and labor, therefore be it
s'Resotced. That a committee of three be APP
pointed to draft bill, or amend the present
one as in their judgment seems best, which
committee are to call meeting of this board
when ready to report and submit their bill OF
amendments to this board for ratification, and
finally by this board to the legislature of Vir-
ginia, with the request that the bill or amend
ments be enacted into law"
The committee appointed to draft the
bill, was George M. Cochran, Jos. A. Wad.
dell and E. A. Fulcher.

An Unfaithful Express Employee.
EUGENE KEYEs THE COLoRED DRIVER

EUGENE KEYEs THE -coLoRED DRIVER
OF THE U. S. EXPRESS STEALS $o4O.
When the 6.45 P. NJ B. & O. train ar
rived OH January 4th, Mr. G. I. Hammond,
the .. s. Express agent here, was at the
depot with the wagon and received and re-
ceipted for the money packages, among
them one of $40 from the Treasurer of the
United States for the National Valley
Bank here. He placed all the packages i'll
the pouch and got into the wagon sitting
on the seat with James Stribling, a col
ored driver. Behind them sat Eugene
Keyes, the colored employee who delivers
express matter. The pouch was slung over
MI. Hammond's shoulder. On getting to the
express Office on Augusta street he missed
the $40 package. No clue to it could be
gotten. Chief Of Police J. Fl. Waters was
consulted and fixed on Reyes as the thief
and has held that position ever since. MI.
Hammond notified the officers of his COM
pany and Gent Supt. E. T. Platt and two
of the companyis detective force, Col. Jno.
Byrne Of Buffalo, n. Y, and A. A. Bishop
of Washington city, came here. MI. Blsh-
op has renamed all the time.
Yesterday morning at 113O, Keyes was
arrested and lodged in Jail, and Capt.
Waters started at once to search his house
near Market and Academy streets. Keyes
wife promptly showed Capt. w. where $6l0
had been concealed by Keyes under the
floor in the cellar. She said it was greatly
against her will that Reyes brought that
money there. Of the bills, three were 800
bills and the rest smaller. She declared
solemnly that she did not know of any 9TH
Ell money hidden there.
Capt. Waters took the money and then
went to the jail where Keyes stubbornly de-
MED ever having known that the money was
there. No progress had been made up to
last night in getting him to tell where the
other $3.50 was. MI. Hammond last We'd
nesday offered $3.50 reward for the recovery
of the money. Keyes has been for some
time an employee of the company, and is a
stout, well built. brown skinned man, gen.
orally wearing the uniform of the company.
MI. Bishop, the detective. spoke very high
ly of Capt. Waters efficiency In the case.

A Movement for a better Road
system.

Last Spring, Capt. E. A. Fulcher of the
Board of Supervisors, published series of
communications in the VINDICATOR advo-
eating and pointing out the way for better
system of roads. The roads at that time
were fearful, and that fact together with
the strong presentation of the case by Capt.
Fulcher created a deep interest in the sub
ject. When good weather came, however,
the subject passed away. One of the facts
presented then was this table Of the money
that had been thrown away in Augusta
county in seven years, with no roads to

anything to injure stanton, they have
large interests here.
Mr.. Witz.-They may have larger inter
ests on the route they are asking a charter
for. than they have in taunton.
Mr.. Witz-Could you get a bill passed re-
quiring them to come through Staunton.
MI. Gordon.-Oh, yes; you can apply to
the legislature to insert such clause ii
the bill.
After some further talk the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved-Whereast the importance of better
railroad facilities FOR our city is matter of
great concern to this body
And whereas there has been surveyed at
considerable cost to us route from our city
to the West Virginia line. which leads us to
believe thata railroad begun at some point
between the Potomac and York rivers and ex-
tended to Staunton and from thence West into
ticable route, and would be built if charter
therefor were granted by the legislature of
our State now in session.
Therefore be it Resolved, that we as body
do request that a charter he granted to the
company to be known as the Atlantic, Staun-
ton and West Virginia Railway Company;
and we do hereby request our State Senator
and the members Of the House of Delegates
from this county to aid in the passage OF bill
granting said charter.
1t is further resolved that copy of this res
olutlon be forwarded to the Senator from this
county and to each Of the members of the
House Of Delegates.
THOS. j. CROWDER. Secretary,
Staunton Chamber of Commerce.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
Chairman to appoint two members Of the
Chamber to go to Richmond and look after
the Atlantic, Staunton & W. Va. Ry.
OTHER MATTERS.
Mr.. Gordon said there were other matters
that needed the attention of the Chamber
of Commerce. There was the branch from
Staunton to the Norfolk & Western at
Stuart S Draft; another was the mineral
railroad to Highland, and another was the
Of the corporate limits of the
city.
TO CONSIDER THE EXTENSION OF THE
CITY LIMITS.
It was resolved that the Chamber hold
meeting next Monday night, to which citi-
zens be invited to give their views about
the propriety of extending the city limits.
1t had been shown by census taken since
the former movement On that subject, that
Staunton had 1900 inhabitants; it's suburbs
were thickly populated in addition, and it
was reasonable and proper that the limits of
the city should be enlarged.
