NEW EVIDENCE FOUND.
4 Pair of Muddy Shoes in NichO-
lass Former Home.

Squire Rugg. OF Henrico, who swore
out the warrant for the arrest of Philip
Norman Nicholas, charging him with
the murder Of James Mills and Judson
wilkinson, was in the city yesterday.
In conversation with a DISPATCH man
the Squire asserted that tine chain Of
circumstantial evidence Is getting very
strong against the accused. Mr. Rugg
thinks the only missing link now Is the
anger which Nicholas was known to
possess, and which, it IS believed, lie used
in boring the holes in the bottom OF the
boat The county has offered $40 for
the recovery of this instrument. The
well at the home OF the accused has
been dragged in the hopes Of finding 1t,
but without avail.
When Nicholas was arrested he had on
a very heavy pair OF boots He claimed
that he swan ashore with these boots on
after the boat sank. The authorities
doubted the statement but had no proof
to tue contrary. 4 few days ago, while
searching for evidence against the al
legged murderer. Squire Rugg found hid
in the attic OF the house in which Nlcho-
las formerly lived a pair Of muddy
ehoes, similar to those worn by Mills
and Wilkinson at the time they were
drowned. The women in the house,
when questioned about the matter, adj
mltted that Nicholas wore the shoes at
the time he escaped from the river after
the sinking OF the boat.
The case OF Nicholas will be heard at
the next term of the County Court.

than in Previous Years.

The attendance at the King-Cotton
Ball Friday night was not 80 large as at
the three entertainments previously
giuen under the auspices Of the Assocla-
ton for the Preservation of Virginia An
tiouities. This was due in a measure to
the fact that there have been number
of large social entertainments III the
last few weeks.
1t has not yet been ascertsined how
much has been cleared by the ball, but
it is believed that the profits will amount
to about $500 The expenses were nearly
81, 600 and the receipts will probably ag'
gregste 81, POO.
The music at the ball was very good
and was under the direction OF Mr.. John

BIRDS BY THE COOP.
Mr.. Miller Buys Partridgcs to
BE Turned Loose Again.

The recent severely cold weather has
been very hard on game of all classes,
and particularly on cartridges. The
Virginia Field-Sports Association has
done Nil in its power to preserve and
take care OF the birds, and it is probable
that its timely efforts have prevented
what might have been ali determination
of the cold Bob White family.
The association offered to furnish
wheat to farmers who would feed it to
the birds, and Mr.. Polk Miller went so
far as to offer to pay any one % cents 4
pair for all the birds they would trap
and turn loose after the snow was
melted.
During the extreme cold the birds fell
easy victims to the trapper's art, and
Friday Mr. Miller was notified that
there were several coops OF live part
ridges in commission-houses on Cary
street. He immediately went down and
bought them all, and will turn them
loose in different sections OF the State.
Nearly a hundred OF the pretty little
things were bought and placed in room
on Cary street, where they are at pres
ent being cared for under Mr. Miller's
direction.
