CASE DIsMIssED.-Last July Joseph
Whitman's saloon, on north st. Asaph
street, was burglariously entered, and
among the articles carried away was a
large seal ring which belonged to Scott
Butler, colored, an employee at the sa-
loon. The thief, whoever he was,
pswned il at Mr.. Goldstein's, on King
street, and not having redeemed it
within the specified time, the pawn
broker sold it to VIM. White, colored.
Butler found White in possession of the
ring and claimed the property. The
loser, however, gave very confused
statement as to how he came in posses
sion of the jewel himself, and the case
was continued in hopes that in investi-
eating the matter the author of the
burglary could be brought to justice.
The ring, it appeared, had been in sew
eral hands during the year, but most
Of the previous possessors could not
positively identify the parties from
whom it was obtained or made unsatis-
factory statements. A ring similar to
the one in the case was seen in the pos
session of a colored member of the
chain gang during the summer, and he
had made an attempt to conceal 1t
when he saw Mr.. Travers, the overseer
of the gang, looking at him. Another
member named Harris had intimated
that he knew who committed the bur-
glary. Nothing definite, however,
could be elected, although Mayor
Strauss cross questioned the witnesses
closely, and the case was dismissed, the
ring being returned to White, who had
paid So for it at Mr.. Goldstein's.

SUDDEN DEATH.-John, the sixteen
year-old son of Mr.. George Wood, died
suddenly at his fathers residence, on
lower Fairfax street, at noon to-day.
The deceased was taken sick last night
with what resembled Group, but this
morning, being apparently better, he
left the house and played handy on
Jones's Point until nearly twelve
o'clock, when he started toward his
home. When short distance away he
was taken suddenly i'll and fell. He
was carried into the house and DR. Jones
summoned, but by the time the doctor
reached the house the young man was
expiring from congestion of the lungs.
Young Wood was an inveteratc cigarette
smoker, and it is thought the inhaling
of the smoke, which is common to boys,
produced the pulmonary trouble which
ended in his death.

AN IMPROVEMENT AT THE SEMI
NARY.-By a resolution of the trus-
tees of the Theological Seminary
at their meeting in June, the
executive committee was authorized
to have the library, which, in the
course of years, had become disar-
ranged, re-assorted and catalogued.
This has been done under the super
vision and personal work of Mr.. John
NJ. Barrett, of this city, and the library
is now in admirable order. Mr.. Barrett's
catalogue is large and we'll prepared
book, and is model of neatness and
accuracy. Any book can be found
with ease, and, with the card system,
which he has arranged, the library
need never again fall into disorder.
1t is open six hours every day, under
the care of a very efficient lady, Miss
Worthington, and now fully meets its
purpose.

drinking, and began quarreling on some
trivial matter, when Thompson, draw
his revolver, fired twice ut McKelvey,
both balls taking effect in his legs near
the thigh. Thompson was placed un-
der arrest, and will be held for trial,
though it is not thought that that Nc
Kelvey's wounds are fatal. Mr..
Thompson was once resident of this
city, having conducted barber shop on

FINED For AssAULT.-The case OF
William Jackson, colored, charged with
assaulting Lewis Hart, white, near the
intersection of Royal and Oronoco
streets few weeks ago, and who, it
was believed, shot and dangerously
wounded him, was called in the Police
Court this morning. The evidence was
10 the effect that Hart and another
white man named Posey entered AL
phonso Arrington's saloon where they
met jackson. Hart, who was drinking,
became hostile toward Jackson and the
latter left the saloon. but returned to
the neighborhood about ten minutes
later, when, he says, he found Hart and
Posey around the corner Of the house !;
that Hart advanced on him with a
drawn knife threatening him with
bodily harm that he, in order to defend
himself, picked up piece of brick and
struck Hart in the side, knocking him
down, and that while his antagonist
was endeavoring to rise he again
struck him: this time on the shoulder
with lump of earth Several witnesses
testified to the same effect. 1t was,
however, shown that Jackson left the
saloon and was seen to pick up q
missile, put it in his pocket aud return

1t was also averred by Officer Davis
that Jackson told him while on the way

knew nothing about it. The prisoner
was represented by Messrs. l.. c. Bar

animation Mr. Barley argued in behalf

CRUELTY TO ANIMALs.-Two white
boys were arrested this morning by
Officer Young charged with tying a tin
coffee can to dogs tail and starting
the animal down King street on Tues
day night. From the evidence before
Mayor Strauss this morning it appeal
ed that one boy held the canine while
the other fastened the can to it. The
Mayor fined them s. eath, and stated
that it was his intention to punish
severely any one brought before him fs r
cruelty to the brute creation. A lady,
member of the Virginia Humane
Society, who was present at the trial,
gave the juvenile offenders severe
reprimand, during which she showed
the brutality of the human being who
would seek diversion by inhicting
torture upon dumb animal, especially
dog, mans faithful companion, whose
friendship never varies, no matter how
its owner may be buifeted by adverse
fortune.
