dancing academy, at 1920 Olive Street. was
shot through the heart. in his office, late

sides the principals at the time of the
shooting was a negro porter. named VII
liams, who says that when Roberts entered
the room he at once approached Simpson
and threateniugly said:
my wife comes here to take lessons
from you, and want you to stop it.
Your wife pays for her lessons and
do not see why l should do so," replied
Simpson. Then Roberts pulled pistol
and, pushing it against the professor
body. fired. The assassin broke and ran.
The body of the murdered man was taken
to the morgue.
When Roberts was arrested he quietly
admitted that he had killed Simpson, but
said that he did not pull his pistol and use 1t
until after he had been assaulted He said
he had gone to the studio to protest against
his wife continuing taking lessons from
Simpson and the latter had first ordered
him cut of the place and later assaulted
him when he fired. Roberts and his wife
have been living apart for some time.

In giving aims no money is used, except

an effort is first made to ascertain whether
it is a deserving case. This is done by the

The railroad companies have also made
arrangements with the charities. Appli-
cants for tickets are given letter to the
company on presentation OF which they re-
ceive ticket stamped on the back to render
any attempt to sell it fruitless. The CON-
panies furnish the tickets at half-rates to
the charities and settle up accounts with
them at the end of the month. This pre-
caution was found necessary. it having been
discovered that many who had received
money had never used it in the way in
tended.
During the past twelve months twenty
nine families have been aided and with
such satisfactory results that many OF them
are not only self-supporting, but nave
earned small surplus. Should no work
be found for them at the end of few days
it is usually deemed expedient to send them
on to some other place so as to prevent
them becoming burden on the city. VI
more than 600 WHO have applied for assist

over go have been given tickets TO reach
other cities.
So admirable is this system considered
that many other charitable societies have
studied and adopted their methods. There
are 10 salaries paid and the average ex-
pensss for year for stationery and postage
are S2l.

was a man of large possessions. looked up
on as probably the most prominent man In
the peanut trade in Virginia. In 1888 he

note of Levy for $2.S75. assigned to him
by w. A. Porterfield & Co., stock brokers.

and the New York syndicate. City Solic-
itor Semmes, who prepared the draft Of
the proposition which the New York syn
dicate will submit to the city. said that the
city was not bound in the least by the
terms of the proposition.

foreclose the mortgage it holds and then
buy the road in, to take the property off
the hands of the city at a certain figure.
Mr.. Semmes also said that in his opinion
