believed here, be pretty certain to insure
the completion of the Richmond. Peters
burg and Carolina Road. Mr. Williams

on this subject, but others who are be-
lieved TO be informed express confidence
in the success of this project. Those in
terested in the Richmond. Petersburg and

will be easily secured. Much interest is

ROBBERY AT FALLS CHURCH.
Southern Railroad Agent Relieved
of &265

Falls Church, Va, Jan 23.-This village
was thrown into excitement last Satur-
day morning, January q, by the discov-
cry Of theft to the amount of S265 from
T. S. Luckett, agent for the Southern
Railroad, Southern Express Company, and
the Washington and Loudoun Telegraph
Company. II was during the interva be-
tween the $50 train and the 7:44 train
that the agent discovered that his pocket-
book was missing. After a thorough
search he notified Town Sergeant Jacobs
and the latter started an investigation. A
number of persons were arrested on sus-
plcion but were released Sunday morning
as no discriminating evidence was found
against them. There have been a number
OF burglaries committed in Falls Church
and its vicinity within the last few weeks
and the people of that locality are becom-
ing alarmed for the safety of their valu-
ables. The thief or thieves have always
escaped but il is thought that they will
be located this time as the property taken
from the station agent was of a distinc-
tive character and the robber will be app
pretended as soon as he tries to dispose
of any of it.
