old and inodensive colored man nam
ed Webb was walking in the extreme
western end of the city on Saturday

ed money from him. Being refused,

POLICE CoURT.-It is understood that
a bill is being prepared, for introduce
ton in the City Council, providing for
the creation of police court in this
city, the object being to relieve the
mayor of the trial of cases of infraction
of municipal laws and make the office
of mayor, as it is in other cities, an
honorary one and not burdened with
the trial of offenders. The costs in all
cases, as provided by statutory laws,
will probably be the compensation OF
the police justice, and no additional ex-
pense will accrue to the city or State
BY reason of this legislation. OF course
this action of the City Council, if agreed
upon, will require the sanction of the
legislature to become effective.

SOMETHING FOR LEE.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch says: There is a feeling pre-
valent here that General Fitz Lee is
apt to be appointed to a good position
by the President, and from remark
dropped by Mr.. Cleveland on Saturday
to prominent man from an eastern
State he feels that his friend. General
Lee, ought to be recognized should he
care to accept something. Consdera-
bic gossip is heard among VirginiaEs
here to the effect that they believe
General Lee will accept, and that his
claims will be urged whether he is q
party to the movement or not.

DEATH OF A PRINTER.-Mr. r. l..
Maxwell, son of the late George Max
well, died at his home, corner Fair fax
and Wolfe streets, yesterday morning
after long illness The deceased was
a printer, having learned his trade on
the Southern Churchman when it was
published in this city. Later he was
employed on the GAZETTE at different
times. Mr.. Maxwell was courteous,
obliging and trustworthy, and enjoyed
the esteem of his fellow-workmen as he
did that of every one else who knew
him. During the past four or five years
the ravages of insidious disease pre-
vented him from following his calling
regularly though he worked when he
had sufficient strength and until his
physical nature became so exhausted
as to compel him to desist and await
with resignation the end of his mortal
life.

RAID ON GAMLERs.-The police yes
terday espied some negro bootblacks
who were playing cards for money in a
lot in the square bounded by King,
Prince, Lee and Union streets. Seeing
the officers afar off, they scampered and
but one was caught-a luckless knight
of the backing box named Frank
Payne. This morning the culprit de-
MED all knowledge of the affair and
persisted in asserting he was in the
country ali day yesterday. Two boot
blacks outfits were carried to the sta
ton house, but the owners have failed
to appear and claim them.
