Our great slaughter sale OF
marked down clothing has proved
big success. Have disposed of
a large number of suits. there is
no profit in it but it works off
surplus stock and makes room
for new stock. 1t has been so
successful that we will continue it
while longer. The same prices
still hold good, and the word
Bargains" is still the pass word
at our place.
This drop will last but a short
time longer. for we shortly will
put our spring stock before you,
SO if you are alert you will take
advantage OF it now.
Boys and Childrens' suits arc
going fairly we'll for this time of
season. The prices do it. Take

ANOTHER CASE AGAINST wALDRoN.
He Paid Polk Mnlcr's Biu with Bogus
Check and Got Change.

Another piece OF forged paper uttered
by j. Milton Waldron, the young negro
whose exploits in this direction have been
made familiar 10 the public through the
columns OF the Dispatch. has turned UP.
About ten days ago Wadron went into
the store OF Polk Miller a. Company and
represented to Mr. Miller that he was
. the brOther-in-aw Of Il COlored customer
Of the concerns at Newport News. He
said his brother-in-law had given him
the money 70 pay the formers little bal
ance due the house, but that he had been
robbed Of that and his own money. also
that he was on his way 10 Rock Castle
and had no funds with which TO get there.
His story was apparently so straight that
Mr. Miller. who was going up the Ale
ghany road that day, told him he would
take him as far as Rock Castle and did
so. A few days afterwards Waldron
again came into the store and Mr.. Polk
Miller being absent. saw his son, Mr.
Withers Miller 10 whom he stated that
he wanted TO pay his brother-in-law 3
balance. lie mentioned the exact amount
OF the balance and upon presenting a
check for so was given the difference in
currency. The check was signed e. T..
Walker and when some one in the store
remarked that IL was not Mr.. Walker s"
check, WaldrOn replied very quickly, "Oh
no. II IS not Mr.. Charley Walkers check. ."
He then went on 10 say that IL was the
check OF a contractor at Newport News
for whom he had been doing some work.
OF course the paper proved 10 be worth
less. Officer Hall was collecting the evil

NEGRO SEXES TWO LADIES.
Both Make Their Escape and the Brute
Gets Away.

Gets Away.
The citizens OF Church Hill were thrown
into state Of intense excitement Satur-
day night by two daring attempts Of
an unknown negro fend to assault young
ladies who were walking along the street
without escorts.
The first evidence OF the brute's au-
dacity was shown In the nelghborhood
OF Twcntytifth and NJ streets about
9l5 O'Clock. Three young ladies Were on
their way from a store I'm the neighbor-
hood. and as they neared the corner they
saw a negro approaching them. Two Of
the young ladies. whose ages We're re-
spectlvely IA and 10, were slightly in ad-
vance Of their companion. The fend
grasped the one on the outside, and catch
in her by the throat threw her to the
ground The others, screaming loudly, fled
to Mr. G.. w Bradleys store. and hastily
relating their awful experience sum
moned several gentlemen 10 the assist
ance of their companion. The negro.
realizing his danger, took to his heels
and In a few minutes a great crowd of
maddened men was in pursuit OF him.
The villain escaped. and it was we'll for
him that he did. for threats Of lynchlng
were openly made. In fact, IT, is said that
one party OF men had even secured "a
rope with which to hang the fiend.
To crown the outrage another attempt
at assault was made the same night
half hour later on Mrs. Melton. She
was alone. and as she was approaching
Clay street near Twenty-seventh the
negro came up to her and threw his arms
around her neck. She began TO scream
instantly. and the brute ran of.
The young lady who first fell victim
to the cowardly deed OF the negro was
badly hart by the rough treatment she
received. and the marks Of her assailants
fingers were plainly visible upon her
throat for some time. When her rescuers
reached her she was in a hysterical state.
and was terribly frightened.
Shortly after the eXcitement' had sub
sided Il negro was arrested on suspicion
by Officer Hackctt. but when taken to
the house of the ladies they could not
identity him. Police-Detective John I.
Hall Is now engaged upon the case and
Is making a thorough search for the
negro. lie believes that he knows who the
man is. but the descriptions of the brute
given by the different ladies do not eX-
actly tally and therefore he has en-
countered some difficulty in his work.
