RICHMOND, Va, July l2.-Mr. A. j.
Bennett. formerly of Richmond. is

fugitive fro III justice from Portsmouth,
whore he is accused Of stealing $500.
In tho Police Court this morning Bon
nett said that he had been travelling

mouth and had spend over So, 900 on
her. Recently her husband and rele-
tives begged her to como home and
he fearing trou bic took her back To
Portsmouth. After reaching these she
sold him property that stood in her
own nnme and gave him $500 of the
money. He left with this and AZ soon
"a lie had gone, the woman swore out
warrant charging him with the lar
ceny of the money. The arrest wac
made on telegram, and the Justice is
holding Bennett for the Portsmouth
authorities. The man had pistol on
his person when arrested aud for this
was fined $50. The accused is O brother
oil MIR. ~. w. Bennett, we'll known
livery man here. Bennett did not
give the nRme of tho woman in ques
ton, and it was not mentioned in the
telegram on which the arrest WIS
made.
Not in many years has there been 30
little interest manifested IN the eec.
ton of mombers of the Legislature ut
this season. Generally many noml.
nations are made in August, but only
one or two have been called. Most of
the nominations will not be made until
October, and the CANVASS will be short
one. As yet the issues have not shaped
themselves. 1t is expected that out.
side of the currency question the issues
will chiefly leave to city and county.
There Is a disposition in certain
quarters TO make bitter fight against
the administration of Gov. O'Ferrall
a nd 10 send here representatives who
will condemn his frequent use OF the
military. But at present this move
ment appears to have little backing. 1t
is not likely that there will be a meet

keepers and told them of his determi.
nation to enforce the Sunday law. The
| better class OF the bar keepers have
promised TO shut their places up. The
police expect to have trouble with the
dives. Chief Howard ls of the opinion
that 20 per cent, of the barrooms have
been running at full blast on Sundays.
The gamblers are trembling with

Chief is going after them. Mai
Howard is a man who is going to en-
forcs the laws unless the Police Board
shall call him oh. He has strong
backing from the best people of the

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

Col. Hickman's lecture on tenn
perance in Witness hall last night
was the best we have heard yet.
His audience was completely cap
tivated, one moment convulsed
with laughter, the next melted to
tears. He is certainly a master of
a assent blies. AS he described the
uinohs fleets of the liquor traffic
his eyes dilated, his boary locks
see med to stand on end, his com
mandiDg form shivered as if in
pain, and the words fell from his
eloquent lips like shower of dia-
monds among his listeners. The
peop le were so enthused and car
ried away with the lecture last
night that they prevailed on Col.
Hickman to lecture again next
Monday night. The re are no
charges made for these lectures
and we trust the hall will be
crowded.
A Good Templars' lodge was or
ganized last night with seventy
members. The following officers
were elected and installed. ]. A.
Mellon, Chief Templar; Mrs. Ditto,
Vice Temrlar; Capt. Clary, Secre-
tary; M. M. Little, Financial Sec
retary; Mrs. Thlse,. Treasurer;
Rev. J. p. Hiiburn, Chaplain; J. A.
Munden, Mars hai;Miss Flora An
derson, Deputy Marshal; Mrs.
Martin, Supe rintendent of Juve-
nile Temp lars; Henry Stevens,
Sentinel; Miss Haines, Guard; Mr..
Strump, Assistant Secretary; DR..
Frederick, Past Chief Templar;
and Rev. ]. E. Oates, Lodge Dep
uty. A committee consisting of
NJ. NJ. Little, Revs. ]. E. Oates
and J. p. .Hilburn was appointed
to provide hall for the permanent
use of the lodge. 1t was voted to
name the lodge Hickman" in
honor of Col. Hickman, the consti-
tuting officer. Rev. J. E. Oates
was called upon to lead in a special
prayer for the men who are to
vote in the city election today.
The praycr was an earnest plead
ing to Almighty God for a clean
town and sober, upright men for
office.

wreaked destruction to life and prop

water fell in the city, and last evening
the entire lower portion of town was
inundated. The bodies of two boys
lie somewhere on the submerged
streets.
The Missouri Pacific railroad shops
are surrounded and the train service
has been partially abandoned. Many
families have been driven from their
homes by the trcspassing river, and
another storm is threatening. The
Marmaton river, Mill creek and Black

accompanied by the boys, attempted
to cross Mill creek bridge, which was
surrounded by water, in a wagon.
They proceeded 15O feet through the
water, when the wagon and horses
were swept away. lie made a desper-
