DIED FROM HIS WOUNDS.
Virginia Farmer Killed by a Des.
perate Negro.


PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 3.-W. NJ.
Jolly, a prominent merchant and farmer
of Dinwiddie county, was shot twice Tues
day afternoon by negro named Junius
Robinson a sawmill hand. On Monday
afternoon four negroes, among whom was
Robinson, were seen by Jolly passing
through his farm and acting in a disor-
derly manner. Jolly told the negroes that
they would have to keep off his premises.
and positively prohibited them from COM
ing on his property again. Tuesday after
noon the negroes were again seen by jolly
trespassing on his premises, cursing and
using offensive language. Jolly told the
negroes that he would not permit such
conduct, when they used abusive Ian
guage, and when Jolly approached them
for the purpose of resenting the insult
given. Robinson drew a pistol from his
pocket, with which he fired twice at Jolly
both shots taking effect. One Of the balls
lodged in the groin and the other just
above the groin.
Robinson was arrested and taken before
Justice w. NJ. Sterne, at Dinwiddie court
house, by whom he was sent on for trial
at the next term of the county court. and
was committed to the county Jail. He
makes no denial of the shooting. Mr..
jolly died of his wounds on the passenger
train on the Richmond, Petersburg, and
Carolina Railroad while being brought to
the Home for the Sick in this city for
treatment. The deceased was one of the
best known men in Dinwiddie county. He
was married, and leaves a widow with
several children. The feeling IN the county
against Robinson is said to be very bitter.

new Alaskan boundary.
TACOMA, Wash. Nov. 3.-The Skaguay
Chamber of Commerce passed resolutions
on October 9 against the temporary bound
airy line established by the modus vivendi
agreed to between the United States and
Great Britain.
The resolutions declare that the perma-
nent establishment of this line would re-
suit in the almost total destruction OF Ska
guay's transportation business the tonnage
value Of which was 81, ,034, 600 for the past
nine months. Another declaration is as
follows:
'While some of our Eastern fellow
citizens, as We understand, regard this
prospective settlement as q triumph of
American diplomacy, We, who are on the
ground and in position to have definite in
formation upon the subject. regard it as
grievous and most unfortunate mistake
should it ever be carried OUT as not only
destructive to our Interests as citizens of
Skaguay, but destructive of other immense
interests, and a complete concession to the
British Government OF the only, thing 1t
has ever really contended for"

Major Sylvester issued an order to the
detective corps today, which he feels will
spur the men to greater effort in locating
and arresting the burglars who entered and
robbed the store Of Mayer Bros, In F
Street Wednesday night. 1t will be re-
membered that the store was robbed OF
quantity of valuable silks, dress goods,
fur goods, and other property to the esti-
mated value of between $4o0 and $500.
The report of the robbery was not a
great surprise at headquarters, as the po-
lice felt something of that character would
occur in view of the fact that several at
tempts at housebreaking had been made
within the week previous. The nature OF
the attempts and other earmarks convinced
the police that professionals, rather than
the common order OF thieves, were at work
This, of course, was an intuitive deduc-
tion.
police to locate the robbers who essayed to
enter the largest business houses, but
without success. When at last TIE report
of a successful entrance was made, the
whole attention Of the force was concen-
trated on the case, and dozen detectives
and policemen are now actively engaged
on it. The detectives claim that Major
Sylvesters order is calculated to cause
decentralization rather than otherwise The
order as issued through clerk to Acting
INSPECTOR Carter was to the effect that the
major wanted the men to catch the house
breakers, or that an investigation would
be made. He instructed the Acting In
spector to inform the men that he was
keeping tabs" on them.
After the order had been promulgated
to the detectives, comment on it was n
orally INDUCED in. The detectives calm
that robberies have been committed ior
thousands of years and will continue to oe
committed as long as the earth YES.
They claim that they endeavor to do all
the work of their Office.
few days ago Major Sylvester issued
an order to the police of one OF the outiy-
ing precincts in which he said that unless
the attempts at housebreaking in their
precincts were stopped or the perpetrators
brought to justice, he would bring up on
charges of inefficiency officers patrolling
the beats In which the attempts were, COM
mitted The housebreakers were still at
large at a late hour this afternoon.

will undoubtedly be made. He says that
the recent purchases Of the Atchison have

provided for immense further increases of
business And finally he states that i'm
