Deputy Sheriff r amer went down
SO Swan River Wednesday after
&c. Yak, son Of s. Yak, against whom
IAN Indictment had been found for
sillegally selling liquor. None OF the
family knew anything about the
I young mans whereabouts, all the
members, even the small children ex-
pressing a belief that he wasin Dakota
and had been there for some time:
Tanner knew where he was how
! ever and found him q few miles from
home. Az he drove back with the
prisoner, he gave the family an OPP
/ !portunity to see him, and they did not
exhibit the surprise that might be ex-
pected on beholding the sudden ap-
!. pearance Of a relative who had been
long absent in Dakota. He was
brought to the city and his father
came in to look after his interests
before the court.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, July 2-(Spe-
cial.)-One OF the most Interesting Tea
lures OF the last commencement at the
College of William and Mary was the
initiation Of several prominent men INTO
the old Phi Beta Kappa Society.
IL will be remembered that this society
was revived here short time before the
death OF the lamented President Benta-
min $. Ewell whose life was a most inn
portant link In It's existence. After
suspension of some years. II was reor-
ganized with about twelve members. con-
sisting Of Pres.aent-Emeritus Eweli, the
college faculty and librarian General
William b. Tallaferro. Colonel Lamb. and
n few others. a few months later Mr..

ON a FIRM FOUNDATION.
The mother chapter Of this far-famed
society IL now once more on firm foot
Ing, numbering among her members many
prominent literary men and several ris-
ing young men of the later alumni.
This chapter will hereafter be a promi-
nent feature in the new life of William
and Mary College. 1t was determined
last week TO have a Phi Beta Chapta
celebration on February 9th. the ami
versary of the granting of the original
charter of the college. Distinguished
speakers and essayists can easily be Sc
cured. as the society numbers among its
members almost all the eminent literati

FOUNDED IN 1716.
This old society was founded here in
1776, William Short John Marshall. and
Bushrod Washington being three of its
earliest members. 1t soon spread to New.
England, and for seventyfive years il
has been a social and literary distinction
to wear its mystic symbols upon the
watch-chain. Ii does not conflict with
the numberless Greek-letter fraternities.

KILLED ON THE TRACK
An UNFORTUNATE RAILROAD AC-
CIDENT NEAR PETERSBURG.
The COcknde City Public md the
New Bicycle Ordinance-NO Formal
Celebration of the Fourth Oh
July.

PETERSBURG, VA. July 3.-tSpeciaD
Abraham Pankey, aged Sc years, negro
OF respectable character who lived IN
Petersburg. but who cultivated small
farm just outside Of town, was instantly
killed this morning between ana ~
O'Clock by a train on the Petersburg and
Asylum railway. There is but one engine
on this road. and when 1t returns from
the Dlnwiddie terminus. 1t backs the
cars TO Petersburg. While 1t was return
ing to-day. and when near the crossing
OF the belt line, just west OF the city,
a man was discovered walking on the
track. The alarm was sounded by the
engineer, and the conductor called 10
the man to get of the track. but the
alarms were not needed. Just at Inc
time a train on the belt line was pass
ing over the bridge and 1t Is supposed
that the noise caused by this train
deadened the signals from the Asylum
railway train. and that the unfortu-
nate man, while locking ahead, heard
no sound to cause him TO look behind.
He was struck by the train, ana al
most instantly killed. His body was
dragged SOME ten or fifteen feet before the
cars could be stopped. An inquest was
held on the body this afternoon by Magis-
trate Gerow, Of Dinwiddie, and verdict
in accordance with the above facts was
rendered.
APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE.
The ordinance passed by the Common
Council on the LIST instant, restricting the
privileges OF the bicycle-riders on the
streets in this city, while 1t has caused
a good deal of discussion. is. as far as
your correspondent can learn. highly sat
isfactory to the mass Of the people.
The Central Park, for instance. should,
at certain hours, be allowed TO-
promenade. and for the use of the hum
dreds of children who are taken
there for airing in the cool of the day
And then, while there are only four or
five hundred cyclists in the city, there
are some 24o00 or 25.oo0 inhabitants who
walk the streets and visit the parks
and whether the latter should be required
to yield their privileges in the matter IN
Difference 20 a few hundred is a question,
which the public will not be slow TO de-
eide.
THE FOURTH.
There will be no formal celebration
of the Fourth Of July In this city to-
morrow beyond a parade Of the military.
Before the late war there was always
an immense gathering of the people on
Poplar Lawn, and an address by a Sc
lected orator. But those days OF patriotic
celebration have long passed, and but
little recognition Of the day is now given.
