DEATH OF MIR. REYNOLDS.
Mr. Charles H. Reynolds. who, as told
in the Dispatch, was stricken with
apoplexy early Monday morning, died
at 42O o'clock yesterday afternoon at
the residence Of his father, Rev. T. +.
Reynolds, on Fourteenth street near Nc
Donough. The stroke came very sud-
denly, and Mr.. Reynolds never rallied
from the shock. He was able for some
time 10 recognize those about him, and
though speechless. to make signs indi-
eating his wants, or answers to inqui-
rles. but after awhile he lost conscious
ness and continued to sink steadily.
Mr.. Reynolds was a native OF Cumber-
land county and was IL years old in
May last. He was the oldest son Of
Rev. Thomas +. Reynolds. jealous
and faithful Baptist minister, who, during
his residence of some fifteen years in
Manchester has lost four sons The
venerable minister and his wife were
visiting their ether son, Rev. James W.
Reynolds in Goochland county, when
they received a telegram on Monday,
telling Them Of the alarming illness Of
Charlie and calling them to his bedside.
They came by the afternoon train, and
added their tender ministrations to those

ing all that was possible for the sick
man. Deceased had lived i'm Manchester
the greater part of the last twenty years
but was Just arranging to move to
Greensboro to accept a railroad posi-
ton Besides his grief-stricken parents.
brother, and three sisters. he leaves
wife and three children, two of them
quite young.
The funeral will take place from thu
residence this afternoon at o'clock.
and the interment will be made in
haury Cemetery.
GRAYs TO LEAVE MANCHESTER.
The Manchester Grays have decided TO
leave this city and take up their quarters
in the Regimental Armory, in Richmond,
where their practice drills will be con-
Quoted and their guns and ammunition
will be stored.
The soldier lads OF this city have be-
fore been furnished a drill han by the
city. and keeping their supplies at their
armory, have always been in near readt-
ness for any outbreak that might take
place too strong for the control Of the
police force. The Council has all along
donated the amount for the rental with
out murmur. but whon the fiscal year
expired recently and the usual petition
was sent TO the honorable fathers, con-
siderable objection was raised. and the
petition was sent TO the Finance Com
mttee where it has since remained. This
delay on the part Of the Council has con-
siderably nettlcd the company, and they
have decided 30 do the best they can
without the help of the city. or course,
If the Council will come forward and APP
propriate the money. the lads will be
glad to stay, but 1t was learned yester-
day that the company did not think 1t
consistent with the dignity of soldiers to
further petition for aid
IN THE JURY's HANDS.
The second day of Chesterfield County
Court was held yesterday, with Judge
William l. Ciopton on the bench. This
was also the second day of the trial OF
the case OF j. a. Smith. manager of the
Swift-Crcek Cotton-Mills i'm which the
defendant is charged with feloniously
of Swift Creek.
Mr. Phil. V. Cogblll, Commonwealth $
Attorney, is assisted in the prosecution
by Judge Drewry Hinton, while Hon. w.
II. McKenney. Of Petersburg, represents
the defence.
Considerable progress was made yes
ierday with this interesting case. From
evidence which was closed about noon Il
appears that Mr.. Gable asked for IL
rense to DO a liquor business at Swift
Creek. and was opposed by Mr. Smith.
A difficulty and personal encounter en-
sued, In which Mr. Gable was severely
stabbed and wounded
The argument began at noon and was
concluded about o'clock. and after
Judge Clopton had read his instructions
the jury retired and remained coseted
Tor an hour. when court adjourned for
the day. The case will be resumed this
morning.
The case OF Hermann Long and Robert
Gladstone Doth colored) is also expected
10 come up to-day. The negroes are
