GENERAL LEE ROBBED ON A CAR
A PickpoclSet Relieves Him of $17O
In Money and Notes.

Ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee, Consul
General Of the United States at Habana,
who is spending some time in this city
with his family was the victim Of quite
a clever robbery last evening about 1880
o'clock He was on his way with some
ladies and gentlemen from the Langley,
where he is stopping, TO Buffalo BilPs
performance, and in either getting on or
off the car which was one of the Rich
mond Traction Company's, he was relieved
of his pocket-book, containing so In cur
rency and $50 in notes. AS soon as he
discovered his loss General Lee told his
son what had happened, and the latter
reported the occurrence at the Second
Polce-Station, and officers were at once
detailed to work up the case.
The General has no idea as to the iden-
titv of the person who thus relieved him
OF his worldly goods, and was very much
dismayed that he should have been so vic
timized. At an early hour this morning
nothing had been heard from the Consul
Generals missing possessions.
