HOP GOOD HAS
BEE\. HIRED OUT
VIII Work for Newell & Co. for Three
Months TO Pay Costs of His
Arrest.
Arrest.

William HopgOOd, who was arrested some
time ago in Henrico county on q charge
OF vagrancy, has been hired out to Newell
& Company, contractors, till ne can pay
the costs attending the arrest Of himself
and family. When this is done he will be
given g discharge.
The HoDsoOd family was arrested some
time ago, and upon trial Hopgond was sent
TO Jail and his family, consisting of his
wife, daughter and infant child, were sent
to the almShouse.
Their condition, when arrested, was riti-
full. For several Days they had been
sleeping in the open air, their only shelter
being an oak tree back of Oakwcod Gene
terry They had been comfortably situated
on the farm of Henrico gentleman, but
had refused to work for their board and
at last had begun TO demolish the building
in which they lived. They We're then
turned out of the house, but allowed the
use of d shed on the farm, but were finally
forbidden the place on account of their
unwllinsneSs to work. They then betooI
themselves to the woods. Hopgood, mean
while, had left the neighborhood and made
no attempt to better the condition Of his
family. Hopgood refused to so to the
poor-housc and would not work.
Finally their presence in the ueighbor-
hood would not be tolerated by the people
in that section of the county, ana they
were arrested.
Hopgood seems now to be willing to
make an effort to better his condition He
has been hired out in accordance with sec
tons $50 and $50 of the Code of Virginia
The law in the case provides that upon
proof that a person arrested is vagranr
he shall be hired out for three months
for the best wages that can be procured
the money to be used to pay all costs and
expenses of his arrest, and if not sufh-
cient, the deficiency shall be paid by the
county or corporation. Should there, how
ever, be a residue it shall be applied for
the use of the vagrant or his family. If
ne run away from his employer without
just cause, he shall be apprehended and
one month added to the original term of
hiring; and the employer SHALL then have
the power, if authorized by the justice, to
work the vagrant with ball and chain.

MILWAUKEE, April 20.-An Evening
Wisconsin special from Merrill, Wis,
says: The food situation on the Wis.
consin river is very serious. The water
is rising rapidly, showing an increase
in height Of 9 inches in "a hours. It is
feared that 100000 feet of logs in a
boom will move into the river and carry
away several bridges along the
city limits. About five hundred
feet of the railroad track has been
washed out and several logging roads
have been entirely destroyed. Asmuch
water as possible is being held back
from the Tomahawk river by the Brad.
ley dam, but it is feared the gates will
not be able to hold back the water
which if it breaks through means dire
disaster to all the saw mill interests.
Wausau, Wis, reports that the rain
has stopped and no more fear from food
is entertained in that section. The
bridges are all tied down with cables.
