ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-Late Satur-
day night an unknown colored man
entered the home of Mrs. Anna Belle
field, in Baltimore, through a window
in the rear of the house, and made an
unsuccessful attempt to chloroform
Mrs. Bielefeld and her niece for the
purpose, it is believed, of robbery, as
Mrs. Bielegeld is rich woman.
1t is supposed that the man was aware
of the woman's riches, and determined
to share them with her ininvited. The
fellow evidently was not an expert
with chloroform, else he would have
succeeded in carrying out his fendish
plans. He first went Into the room of
the niece, but fortunately she awoke in
time to save herself, and gave the
alarm. Then a fierce battle ensued,
during which the young lady had her
arm 80 badly sprained and bruised that
it will be many days before she will
have the proper use oft.
Mrs. Bielefeld heard the noise, min
gled with the girls faint cries for help,
and hurried to her assistance. The in-
truder, seeing he could not manage
both women and baffied at the failure
of his well-laid but poorly-executed
plans, beat hasty retreat.

The BROOKLYN Handicap.

NEW YORK, May 14.-With the rain
coming down as it is to-day, there is
every prospect that the Brooklyn
handicap will be run on a very heavy
track tomorrow. The field consequent
ly will be smaller than originally ex-
pected, but the race will be a brilliant
one Notwithstanding. The general
opinion is that DR.. Rice will win. A
syndicate of admirers has $4,000 to
put on the horse and will accept 5 to 2,
in other words $4,000 to $4,000
This morning will probably show
something that will give line to what
Ramapo's capabilities are, although it
is hardly probable that his trainer will
subject his horse to severe test over
the entire distance at top speed. Bel
Ell Santa Anita will hardly be safe
horse to back. Should the going be
heavy to morrow, his chances will be
materially improved. Rubicon is in
the pink of condition. Hornpipe has
made vast improvement in the last
seven days and will be dangerous on a
heavy track.

Tho weather and the Crops.

CHICAGO, May 14.-From the reports
received from many States last night,
wheat, oats and barley have virtually
been uninjured by the biting frost.
Throughout the northwest, however,
grain men think that corn and flax will
suffer. In Minnesota corn already up
was nipped to the ground, and vege-
tables and fruit trees have suffered Sc
verely. In some parts of Wisconsin,
the tender garden truck has been ruin
ed, while the frost worked great dam
age to corn and barley. While Iowa
reported that wheat and oat crops were
safe, last nights dispatches showed
that fruit and garden truck had felt the
blight of frost. Illinois and Indiana
have Jared well, but this mornings
predicted frost may cause considerable
damage. Nebraska, Dakota and Mis-
souri, have also suffered, but the wheat
crop has barely been touched. The
mercury fell to six degrees below freez
ing in northern Ohio. Fruits of all
kinds have been killed. Corn will
have to be replanted. At some points
there was fall of snow. A snowstorm
in Michigan last night With strong
north wind has damaged the fruit and
spring crops many thousands of dollars
in some sections.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.-The Rich
mond Blues arrived at Pocahontas yes
terday. The Lynchburg Home Guards
and the Farmville Guards returned to
their homes yesterday, having been re-
lieved from longer service. The JEFF
ferson Davis Rifles, of Salem, will be
relieved to-day, and the Roanoke
Light Infantry tomorrow. The Roam
oke Machine Works Guards will
remain till the last. The situa-
ton is practically unchanged. The
two operators are running about hall
capacity and claim that the strike, so
far as they are concerned, will be at an
end within ten days. Along the Elk
horn road of the West Virginia field
there is nothing transporting which
would lead one to believe that work
would be resumed before an almost in
definite length of time. This is IN
doubtedly the pivotal point as to the
result of the three cornered strike and
is the centre of attraction to the opera
tors. strikers and railroad officers.
Governor O'Ferrall is still at Poca-
hontas and will probably remain sew
eral DAYS. He is investigating the
strike, and says that so far he has
found nothing to indicate that he was
wrong in sending trrops to Pocahontas,
as the preservation of life and the peace
and good order of the State required
this course. He spoke to the people Of
Pocahontas last night. He told the
people that he, and he alone, was re-
sponsible for the soldiers being there,
and that his shoulders were broad
enough to bear the burden of that re
sponsibility. AS for the people who
are running around criticising him, he
did not care any more for them than
for a flea-bite, and he wanted them to
understand it. He said he had sent
the soldiers to preserve order and the
peace and dignity of the Common
wealth, and to protect the striker in
his rights, the operator in his rights,
and the man who wanted to labor in
his right to work for and protect those
whom God in His infinite wisdom had
bestowed upon him. He also said: II
am no man to make threats, and this is
no threat: Virginia has $500 brave
volunteers, and, if it is necessary, 1
will call out the entire brigade of the
State to protect every citizen of Poca-
hontas in his rights"
At Petersburg last night at o'clock
Capt. T. F. Heath, of the Petersburg
Greys, received dispatch from Poca-
hontas ordering him to bring his COM
pany up on the midnight train fully
equipped. The Greys quickly rendez
voused at their armory and were fur
nished with twenty rounds of ammuni-
ton and left for Pocahontas.
Eleven members of the Monticello
Guards returned to Charlottesville yes
terday from Pocahontas. They say
that their whole company expects to be
relieved and will return to Charlottes-
vile to-day.
One hundred new men went to work
at Pocahontas mines yesterday, which
enabled the company TO get out about
one-half of its product.
