cighteen.year-old niece were in a wagon
On their way home some straw in the
bottom of the vehicle caught fire. A
colored man named Cornelius Myers,

supposed the fire was caused by hot
bricks the ladies had placed in the
straw TO keep their feet warm.

CATION from the National and Virginia
State oranges consisting of Master Of
State Grange A. j. Wedderburn and
Messrs. Jones, Of Fairfax, and Doge, OF

lutions adopted by the district garage
i'll this city wednesday deprecat;ng the
attitude OF the Secretary of Agriculture
toward the graoges and farming in
terests generally, and to request the
appointment of some one to that posi-
ton who is more in sympathy with the
agricultural interests of the country
than the incumbent, Mr.. Secretary

press there had been no change in Pres
ident Clcveland's Cabinet.

despite the exertion of the police it still
hourishes. Some well-known white
men were named as correspondents in
the case this morning, aud should they
continue to fulfil their appointments at
this and other places presided over by
oolored women a ventilation may follow
which will be sensational.

OUTDOOR PooR.-The committee on
poor of the City Council met last nighl
at the INSTANCE Of Mayor Strauss, who
was present at the meeting, to devise
means for alleviating the wants of the
destitute in this city. 1t seems that
the appropriation for the poor was ex-
hausted some days ago, and q rcsolr-
ton appropriating an additional sum
was referred to the finance committee
at the last meeting OF Council. Mr.
Shock, Superintendent of the Outdoor
Poor, has, of course, been unable to
meet the demands made upon him.
The committee arranged the matter
satisfactorily in order that the work OF
succoring the needy can continue until

night a young man who is a clerk in a
clothing store at the foot of King street,
entered the station house in an excited
state of mind and made peremptory de-
mands upon Capt. Webster for a sup
ply of cartridges, informing that official
at the same time that he had exhaust
ed his stock in shooting at burglars who
had e~ndeavored TO rob his employers
store. He exhibited the weapon, each
chamber of which, he said, he had emp
tied at the nocturnal liends. Those
in the station house SHE'D and turned
in various directions as the excited man
carelessly pointed the weapon toward
every point of the compass, not being
so sure that it would not go off again.
One of the officers, to be more con-
WINGED that the pistol was empty, took
it from the mans hand aud pointing it
TO the floor pulled the trigger. An in
Simultaneous explosion followed and a
bullet entered a plank at his foot. 1t
vas subsequently found that another
chamber was also loaded. The officers,
upon realizing the narrow escape they
had had from the careless handling of
the pistol, grew impatient with the man
and got rid ofhim as soon as possible.
They, however, made a hasty examiDa-
ton of the premises where it vas al
legged the burglary had been attempted,
and found that a box had been blown
in a contiguous alley by the wind,
though some said a man had been seen
running from the %neighborhood of the
store.

A REQUEST FROM THE PoLIcE.-The
officers Of the police force request those
parties who purchased cutlery FROM the
five men arrested several days ago, and
which was stolen in Washington, to
return the same to the station house.
Most of the stolen articles have been
recovered, but several pieces Of cutlery
are still missing, aud if they can be re-
covered without legal process it will be
more satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned.

ELUDED THE POLICE.-Some weeks
ago Thomas Henry, son Of Readyman
Henry, left this city for Washington,
an put up with a family named Forster
who nj one time conducted a saloon on
King street. a friendship had sprung
up between young Mr.. Forster and
Henry, and the two meD occupied the
same room. On Wednesday night
Horny left his Washington friends very
abruptly, and upon an inventory being
made ii was discovered that a scarf pin,
two finger rings aud four dollars in
money had vanished with him. Mr..
Forster suspected Henry had returned
10 bis hcmc in this city and charged
him with stealing the jewe:ry and
money. He came to this city and
swore out a warrant for his arrest.
officer Arlington proceeded 10 Henry
residence, where he was told by the
father of the accused that he WIS up
stairs in a drunken condition, but he
would endeavor to arouse him in order
that he would be turned over to tine
officer. Mr.. Henry, it is alleged, pro
,eeded W stairs, ard while Mir. AIRING
ION WAS waiting his return Young
Henry vanished our ola back window
of the second-story into the yard and
made his escape. The officer, when he
learned this, was considerably puzzled
to know how the accused reached the
ground without killing or GRIPPING him
self, as the house has a deep basement
and the descent from the second story
window would have been n perilous
leap. Mr.. Arlington was afterwards
ted that Henry's father had landed
him on The ground in the same man
ner Paul escaped from Damascus
with a rope but minus the basket.
Others, however, think he utilized a
family umbrella and reached terra
tirma by using the same as q para
chute. The fugitive, it is said, then
made his way to the transfer slip at The
foot of Wilkes street where some kind
friends placed him in q box car, scaled
the door and consigned him to Balti
more.
