Henrico County News.

Mr.. Victor Litchheld. a County Super
intendent of the Poor in Fairfield Dis
trict, came near losing a horse as the
result of listening TO a negro's story
about ghosts on Wednesday night. About
midnight one of HIS farm helpers
aroused him and excitediy announced
that there was a ghost walking around
in the yard.
why don't you kill the rascal?' asked
the superintendent, handing the negro a
shotgun. The negro went out and soon
the report Of both barrels of the shotgun
was heard from below. An investigation
was then instituted, with the humiliating
result that II was the superintendent
old gray horse that had occasioned the
alarm and shared a part of the charges
from the gun. Fortunately, the excited
Negroes aim was not very good, and the
damage done was not serious.
Sam Davis (colored), an old offender
against magisterial justice, is held in the
county Jail on warrant issued by JUS
tice Larus, charging him with threaten
ing TO Kill his own father, and with steal
ing shoes from his fathers house.

He Shot at the Tramps.

a new phase was added to the shooting
of Mr.. j. F. Dunstan, at Lorraine, on
Monday morning last, when it was learn
ed yesterday that he may have, in med-
sure, provoked the attack, which came
so near resulting In his death. 1t seems
that on the night Of the shooting num-
Der OF white tramps boarded a coal train
at Rockcastle for the purpose OF beating
a ride. When they passed Vanita they be-
gan pelting the station with Jumps of coal.
The flight operator wired the facts TO Mr..
Dunstan, at Lorraine, and it is said that
he was standing in the door, pistol in
hand, when the train went by.
The tramps again began to throw Jumps
OF coal, and Mr.. Dunstan fred one shot
at them. One OF the men returned his
fire, with tho terrible results which have
already been published.
He was reported to be resting very
easily last night and IL his present en-
couraging Improvement continues the
chances for his recovery are much better
than were at first supposed.
Mr.. Dunstan has not as yet been al
lowed to discuss the shooting.

It is not expected that this work will
take long, as nearly all the negro epm-
panies have recruited up 10 the standard.
1t is understood that the Norfolk COM
pany assigned 10 the First Battalion win
be brought here and be quartered at the

companies, and that the other one from
that city will be sent to Petersburg,
where the other three companies OF the

Norfolk, TO come 10 Richmond to-day,
when, in connectio8 with Or. Z. V. Car

the colored physicians who Will ex-
anime the troops.
DR.. c. w T.. Brock has received let
ter from Camp Cuba Iibre. at Jackson
Vile, which states that the reports OF
sickness among the troops are greatly
exaggerated. Those who are sick, II is
said, contracted typhoid-fever before
reaching there. The water comes from
Arteslan wells and is perfectly pure.
Corporal Joseph L. Young. Jr.. who is
attached TO the recruiting station here,
says that one OF the many gifts that have
been most highly appreciated by the
Blues since they have been In Jackson

Those who Make the Article Not
willing 10 Divide the Extra War
Tax-Some Dealers Charge More
for Cigarettes and Cigars.

The retail liquors dealers are up in arms
against the local brewers. who, they say,
have placed the whole burden Of the in
creased tax upon them. The matter
seems likely to come to a head within
the next day or So for a special meeting
of the Executive Committee of the Liquor
Dealers Association has been called
by Secretary BEDFORD, at the instiga-
ton of several members, and some mea-
sure will be taken to bring the brewers
to terms.
The particular grievance Of the saloon
men grew out Of the fact that Nas soon
as the provisions of the new revenue
BIN we're enforced the brewers raised
their prices 81 a barrel, Notwithstanding
the fact that they are allowed a rebate
Of 7l-2 per cent on all stock on hand at
the time the law went into effect
MAY GO TO WESTERN BREWERIES.
The disgruntled ones point to the atti-
tude of the western brewers, who con-
scented TO pay half the tax If the saloon
men would pay the other half, and those
who are prominent in the association say
that the action Of the Richmond
brewers in the premises viii have the
effect of driving the local saloon-meh 10
the western market.
IF they had split the tax with us,
said an officer of the association yester-
day. 1--WE would have been SATISFIED, but
II they don't wen buy western beer, and
boycott the local brewers
The increased price works particular
hardship on the small dealers, who sell
by the pint TO the outdoor customers.

bucket. and their profits are very ma

PRICE OF CIGARETTES RAISED.
Although the cigarette-manufacture
divided the increased tax on cigarettes
with the jobbers, and the Jobbers de-
clares that they would not raise the
price 10 the retail dealer, number OF the
latter. including several Of the saloons
have raised the price and cents Is now
asked for a package that formerly cost
cents. The price of cigars has also
CHARGED by some dealers for the and 10
cent article.

eral Cobb was killed was in sight of
the house in which his mother was mar

l.. C. Bell.

LIFE ENDED In JAIL.
w. l.. HALVES, AN INNATE OF THE
PRISON, COMMITS SUICIDE.
SEWERS AN ARTERY WITH STEEL.
BIeeds Freely from the Wrist, and
Though Revived After sinking
Into Unconsciousness, He soon
Passes Away.

w. L. Halves, a white inmate OF the
city Jail, committed suicide at that In
stitutlon yesterday. while suffering from
mental troubles which had been in evil
dence for some time, though not to an ex-
tent sufficient TO occasion suspicion of
such an attempt Death resulted from
loss of blood, caused by the severing of
an artery in the left wrist Of the unhappy
victim, and this too. after all that medi-
cal skill could do, had been expended in
his behalf.
Halves was committed for twelve
months on the 9th of December last, by
Justice Crutchheld, in default of security
required on account Of his having broken
a number Of windows on lower Main
street, and ever since that time he had
been moody and melancholy. and at times
acted so strangely that 1t was limited
that he was not altogether right In his
mind. He was not violent. however,
and the keeping OF close watch on him
was not deemed necessary.
HE SEWERS AN ARTERY.
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock he
was, as usual, in Cell No. Ii. on the main
corridor, which was jointly occupied by
J. C. Burnes, a prisoner serving similar
sentence. In some unaccountable way
he secured a corset steel, and watching
a chance when his mate was not looking,
he drew II fiercely across his left wrist,
seyering one OF the radical arteries. I'M
medlately a squirting stream or blood shot
from the new-made wound, and soon the
cell floor was covered with IL. An alarm
quickly followed the discovery OF what
had happened, and as soon as IL reached
Deputy Ralston that official summoned
DR.. w. S. Gordon. The latter came as
quickly as possible, accompanied by Dr.
Charles Labenburg, and together the phy-
sicians went TO work on the victim, VINO
was by this time unconscious from loss
of blood. After heroic efforts the flow
of blood was checked, and the wounded
man so far revived as TO give good hopes
OF his recovery. Sinking spells followed
however and at quarter TO 3 o'clock the
miserable man passed away
CORONER'S INQUEST.
As soon as II was learned that he was
dead Coroner Taylor was notified. and,
summonlng a jury, he proceeded 20 the
Jail. where an inquest was held at
O'Clock After due inquiries into the cir
cunstances Of the suicide. verdict in
accordance with the above facts was
rendered, and the remains were turned
over TO the City Almshouse authorities
for lnterment.
The deceased had no relatives residing
here, and none that are known. He was
homeless at the time OF his commitment.
and is said TO have broken the windows
as a pretext to secure admission 10 the
jail. He was a man about feet 70 inches
in height. and weighed somewhere In the
neighborhood OF l55 pounds. His ase
was not known.
