The Humphrey Trial, &c.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, December To-
Special -City-Sergeant b. W. Milstead'
arrived this morning from New London,
with Charles H. Humphrey, who was IN
dicted here some time since for grand
larceny. The prisoner was accompanied
nv his counsel, Mr. II. =. Freeman, Jr,
and as the Corporation Court is now in
session 4 is expected that Humphrey
will be given a speedy hearing. He is
charged with stealing $50 from q. T.
Uzzle, saloon-keeper.
]. Mitchell, who is believed to be the
bogus gold-ring fakir who has been ope-
rating i'm Newport News for the last
week. is now in Jail. The fakir the police
have been looking for has been pawnng
rings with Initials and inscriptions cut
i'm them. The rings are worthless, being
made OF bell metal and. of course, the
swindler never redeems them.
The local ship-yard plant, 1t is now
thought will not pass into the hands of
Sir William Armstrong. of Armstrong,
Withworth & Co.. of Newcastle-on-Tyn
A report comes from New York that the
deal between Mr. Coils p. Huntington
and Sir William Armstrong has probably
fallen through. The latter looked at the
yard more than a year ago. with an
idea of purchase and obtained an option
upon Il from Mr.. Huntington. Now, Mr..
Huntington is quoted as saying that the
Englishman's option will expire In a few
days, and, as he had heard nothing from
him recently, he believes the deal will
fall through. The ship-yard is valued at
100000 and employs $500 men. 1t is
understood that Mr. Huntington will en-
large the plant and increase its facili-
ties. Whether this means the establish
ment OF an ordnance and armor-plate
factory here can only be conjectured. but
1t seems 10 be settled fact that another
dry-dock. which will be the largest in the
world, will be built. so that two OF the
largest battleshps afioat may be locked
and repaired at the same time.

KENT HAS A BAD FIRE.

Last Sunday at about two o'clock in the afternoon an alarm of fire was given and house belonging to the estate of E. M. Judd standing east of the railroad and near the hotel, was seen to be in flames. The house was occupied by Patrick Lyons. The nefghbors gath cred quickly and did what they could to save the contents of the house, but the fire spread so fast that they were unable to get out very much. The family were out walking at the time and returned to find their home mass of smoking ruins. The whole village was alarmed, as a high wind was blowing and other build ings were in danger. The origin of the fire is unknown but it is probable that it was caused by defect in the chimney. HE WANTED TO BORROW FIVE DOLLARS.
