SEWER WORK.
The Street Department. Contemplate
I,arne Extensions This Year.

The Street Department this year will
ask for u liberal amount of money for
sewers. The work proposed to be done
this year has been urged by the depart
ment for several years, and has grown
into an absolute necessity in order to
save property from destruction.
The sewers referred to are: To extend
from. Madison and Main Streets to the
canal. on Marshall Street from Thir-
tenth to Shockoe Creek; the Meadow
Street sewer through Lee District to r,
L. and p. shops.
These three are the principal ones con-
ternplated. and it is believed the depart
ment will secure the appropriation.
The widening Of ShockOe Creek has
also gotten to be almost a necessity from
the south side of Deck to Main Street.
and Seventh and Hospital Streets, wall
ing both Shockoe Creek and Bacon's
Quarter Branch. and bridging over the
walls, as d convenience to those whose
work carries them to that section Of the
city. and with Il view of making perma-
nent improvements to that section of the
city.
In order to carry out all this work the
department viii probably ask for about
half a million dollars.
The total amount for all purposes to
be asked for by the department will be
about $500 900.

There was Il small docket. indeed, be-
fore the Great Dispenser yesterday morn

pal witness in the case is not here
who is he?- Why should any one fail
to come into this court when he is due

.One of the ambulance surgeons said
the Sergeant.
Something must be done about this
thing. 1t is getting too frequent. These
young doctors are placed in positions, in
which they are Indispensable as witness
es in important cases But they cannot
attend for their duties as ambulance
surgeons and City Hospital physicians in
terfere. We cannot delay the wheels
of justice, nor can we expect the city
surgeons to neglect the sick and dying.
There is urgent need for at least another
physician and the sooner they have him
the better it will be for the city.

MIDNIGHT FIGHT
WITH A BURGLAR B [
Mr.. t. " Moore Drives Him Away
and Saves the Family
SiyerWare,

Early yesterday morning about 1870
O c.1ch MR. Inomas. Werner moore, a
son OF MIR. r. II. MOORE the widely-known
by Balln Iarry's Watcn to get through
to a stanuSthl.
Mr.. Moore resides not far from Bon
Air. He return, home eacn evening by
the tram over the southern, leaving mere
at 6 o crock but Mr.. Werner Moore, who
attends the law school at night, does not
leave Richmond until IL O'Clock p NJ,
getting home about half an hour later.
1t has been his custom to sit III his room
and read until the small hours OF the
morning. The house has three stories,
and the young mans room is on the
third floor.
The family takes dinner each evening
about O'Clock, after which the butler
collects all the silver, places it in a bas-
ket and puts the receptacle at the top
of the first fight of steps. When Mr..
Moore retires, it has been his custom
to take the silver in his room in order
that its safety may be assured
Thursday night, however. he neglected
to take this precaution and retired, leav-
ing the silver where the butler had put it.
Mr.. Werner Moore reached home about
his usual hour
About 1:sO O'Clock he heard a sound
down below like the rattle of silver.
There's a burglar in the house and
he's CARRYING off the silver, was the
thought that flashed at once through his
mind.
Possessed with this idea. the young
man. who is only in his twentieth year.

second landing with a vigorous spring. He
did not pause to consider that he was un-

AS Mr. Moore landed on the first flight
of stairs he came right upon the burglar.
His foot struck the basket of silver,
knocking it from the intruders hand.
, Then came Il fierce battle in the dark.
Mr.. Moore himself is an athlete, and the
unknow burglar proved to be a heavy,
powerful man. The two fought with ma
lures weapons down the stairs and into
the front hall Not a word was spoken.
but the battle was not a quiet one. The
silver, scattered about the floor, jingled
as it was knocked hither and ...lner.
chairs were overturned with d crash and
finally a heavy fall shook the entire
building. Mr.. Moore had thrown his man,
taken a firm grip on his throat and was
choking him vigorously.
Just as the battle was pbout to end in
Mr.. Moore's favor the man freed one of
his arms and struck him a glancnS but
violent blow on the side of the head. Mr..
Moore was dazed for a moment, and the
nun taking advantage of his opportun-
", darted through the back door, which
he had left wide open, and escaped.
The value oe the goods which the burg
lar came so near to getting away with,
was at least $3.50

MAY PRESENT A MEASURE.

MAY IItESl.N A LAtI<AS I tll--
If the committee does not see fit TO do
this Mr.. IolkeS VIII most likely, after
conference with his legislative colleagues
provided the body takes up outside leg
is,ation). introduce a, bill in the General
Assembly, providing that such a course
shall be pursued as TO all political parties
in Virginia that desire to enter candi-
dates for State officers this year.
When seen in regard to his proposition
yesterday, Mr.. Folkes said his prime ob-
ject was TO get out a full party vote on
the election Of delegates 10 the conven-
ton in May
The fear that the people may not turn
out at the spring election said the law
maker, is giving the party leaders a
great deal OF apprehension. and believe
my plan would insure the turning out Of
nearly every Democratic voter in the
State who. when at the polls. would SUP
port the Democratic nominees for the
Convention and make that body surely
and safely Democratic.
Again Mr. Folkes argues that it would
furnish the fairest methods of naming the
candidates for State Offices and would af-
