not now known by any one here where

Just such q quartette being met
by Mr.. Blankenship soon that same
morning. The negroes were then
coming toward the city on the Richmond
and Petersburg railroad track, and they
were considered very suspicious by hlr.
Blankenship. Mr.. Mitchell says that one
of them carried a bundle, and that another
had on a new pair of snuf-colored pants,
winch appeared to be too long for him.
SOME sTRANGE CLOTHES.
1t was reported in Manchester yesterday
that the pants of tho deceased had been
discovered alongside the Ninth-street road
near the WhItby Stock-Farm.
An investigation by ChIef-of-Police Lips
comb shows that the garments were seen
at the spot indicated on Sunday afternoon,
but that they were removed before the
officer went to look for them.
The affair has caused considerable CON-
ment and it is feared hat possibly another
mlrder has been committed in the county
of Chesterfield within the last few days.
The only trace of the clothing lett was a
piece of a pair of ~suspenders.
