Falling Hair Restored
bon AUSTIN's MURDERERs.
The People OF New Kent Counts
Think They Are ina Hiding There.


For week or more rumors have been
circulated IN Kew Kent county that the
murderers Of Policeman Austin, OF this
city, were in the neighborhood. Some
time ago a cousin of Commemorative
Attorney Richardson sent certain infor-
nation here. which led TO detective be-
ing dispatched 10 investigate, but the
supposed murderers seemed to have dis
appeared altogether, and the yaguest
!umOrs were the only existing trace of
their ever having been in the vicinity.
The following communication was re-
ceived from the correspondent Of the Dis
patch al Oak. New Kent, county, yester-
day;
1t seems almost certain that the two
negroes who killed Policeman Austin I'm
Hchmond some time ago are in this
county. 10 has been rumOred around here
several days that they are in this imme-
oiate vicinity. L know several parties
VINO have been on the lookout for them
by sitting on the roadside all night when
they expected them to pass.
Two strange negroes called at q saw
mill yesterday TO obtain work, answering
% the description given by the Chief of
Police OF the two men who killed Austin.
There are certainly two negroes here who
have been living I'm the woods, and some
think ere being fed by the negroes here"
chief Howard said yesterday, after
reading this communication, that 5000 had
already been spent in following up ru-
mors. The reward for information that

The Attempt to Capture General
BartletG.

Richmond, Va, May a, 1898.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
In 1853, on the 9th day OF June, there
was fought on the plains around Brandy
Station, in Culpeper county, Va, tht
greatest cavalry battle probably ever
fought since the foundations of the world
were laid. There were three other fierce
battles fought here also during our four
years OF war by the cavalry, and in each
and every one Of them many were killed
and wounded. In the battle above refer
red to the enemy had 1900 men under
Generals Pleasanton and Averill, and we
had 5000 under General j. Il. b. Stuart,
who fought them from 3 O'Clock In the
morning TO o'clock in the evening inside
of q circle.
Through this Gordon OF troops we tried
nearly all day long TO break, and sue
ceeded under General Hampton in the
evening, as stated. at a place called Ste
vensburg. In this battle General w. III.
+. Lee was wounded, and later on was
captured and taken to the old Capitol
prison, in Washington, where he was kept
for quite awhile. because we had, as was
alleged, no officer Of like rank, for whom
lie could be exchanged. The idea OF cap
turing an officer OF said rank was con-
ceived by and entrusted to Captain Frank
Stringfellow now the Rev. Frank String
fellow, a trusted scout of General Robert
10. Lees, who promised TO give him any
assistance he needed. Captain Stringfel-
low asked him for twelve good men-men
who after being told the nature OF the
business and that they would be shot
If caught, would agree 10 &C.
General II. r.. Lee sent an order to
General j. Il. Il. Stuart. directing him to

The seas are dark with wrath;
The nations In their harness
Go up. against our PATH
Ere yet We lose the legions-
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God OF Battles, aid!
From panic, pride, and terror.
Revenge that knows no rein
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect US yet again.
Cloak Thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath
In silence and deserving
To taste Thy lesser death!
Fen now their vanguard gathers,
Fen now we face the fray
AS Thou didst help our fathers,
Help Thou our host to-day!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders.
In life, In death made clear
Jehovah OF the Thunders,
Lord God OF Battles. hear!
