TWO SUSPICIOUS MEN REARREST
ED AND JAILED.


Petersburg. Va, Dec. Yesterday
morning James H. Hines and Frank
Wainscot two white men, were liber-
ated from jail, after having served q
white woman in this city. They were
upon complaint OF Superintendent Rob-
inson. of the Pocahontas Milling Com
pany. upon the charge OF trespass.
Hines and Wainscot were only captured
after Il chase into Dinwiddie county by
Police officer j. p. Stewart. who was
assisted in the chase by other citizens.
When searched at the police station
nothing was found on them but when
searched at the Jail a fine piece of steel.
such as hack saws are made from. was
found in the lining of Wainscot's coat.
From what can be learned ii is thought
that the two men did not want to leave
the city, and desired to be rcarrested
and returned TO Jail, and that they in
tended to attempt u delivery of certain
parties now in Jail, and it was for this
that they had concealed so carefully
the piece of steel
Wainscot has received from different
parties letters containing about $40 dur
ing his former imprisonment. BY per-
mission of the sheriff he was allowed 10
purchase food for himself and compan-
ion as they did not like the Jail food
They were given three months each

ton by the strike OF anthracite coal
miners and the possibility OF wage dis
puts in the iron trade. with rather less
activity in the latter industry, and
some increase of weakness in the prices
of cruder forms. have given an appear.
ance of irregularity to the general trade
and business situation. On the other
hand, the course of staple prices has
been very generally upward this week.
fall distribution of dry goods, clothing.
hats and millinery have been OF large
volome at nearly all markets; there is
q decidedly better tone noted in the
boot and shoe and kindred trades. and
the strength of cotton goods, though
apparently in excess of that shown by
the raw material. has been regarded a.
indicative OF confidence on the part OF
manufacturers.
The premature ripening due to the
hot dry weather is responsible for part
of the heavy movements of cotton to
market, but back of this, of course. is
the desire to profit by the exceedingly
good prices ruling. The rush of re-
ceipts has been too much for the bull
movement, however, and the prices
are materially lower on the week.
Reports of damage OF grain in shock

Northwestern buying at Chicago,
furnished the key to the advance of
nearly cents in wheat this weak.

How q Young Woman Saved Money

A promising young lawyer who has
an office in the Girard Building has
just made the delightful discovery that
his fiancee is also fnancier. The
young mans sweetheart resides In Ger
mantown, and for several months past
he has called upon her regularly thrice
week. When he first met the girl,
two years ago, he was, Of course, ex-
tremely anxious to make good i'm

ents upon her. The girls parents are
quite well to do, but she disapproves
Of any sort Of display or prodigality,
and when, In the natural course OF
events, the young man proposed and
was accepted, she felt it to be her privi-
lege and her duty to read him a little
lecture on Economy" She called his
attention to the fact that every time
he called he had been In the habit of
bringing flowers and candy to the value
o. a dollar or two. She suggested that
in the future he should discontinue the
presents, handing over silver dollar
instead whenever he came to see her.
he laughed, for he thought she was
joking, but she speedily assured him
that she was much in earnest. So he
paid his dollar regularly, and finally
came to the conclusion that the money
was being devoted to charity. The
wedding day was set for next month,
and an extended tour was contemplate
ed. Unfortunately, the young lawyer
recently took flyer" in stocks, and
dropped SO much money that he had to
notify his fiancee that their wedding
trip must be dispensed with. The dear
girl laughed at him, and, leaving the
room for moment, presently returned
with a satchel containing 256 silver
dollars. Their plans will not be changed.
