DROVE OFF THE NEGRO.

Two plucky women, with no wesp-
ons save hat pins, put to flight negro
who molested them on south Jefferson
street, Richmond, on Saturday evening.
The ladies were walking along the
street when big, black negro, wearing
long blue coat, with cap, or small
hat, on his head, sccosted them with an
insulting remark. OF course, the wo-
men were frightened as we'll as shocked.
They hurried on. The negro followed.
About the middle of the block, oppo-
site an allsyway, the negro overlook
them. He seiz,d one of the ladies
around the waist and attempted to drag
her into the alley. He had not reck-
oned upon hat pins. Each woman
very promptly drew her weapon and
jabbed him with such coed will and
pummeled him so vigorously, that he
was forced to release his intended vic
tim and make retreat.
The day previous young girl about
thirteen years of age was attacked 10
the same locality by negro believed to
be the one driven off with hat pine.
The little girl ives hurrying to her
work 10 one OF the factories on the
south eide Of the city. 1t was shortly
after sunrise. He made an indecent
remark, and seized the girl. She
screamed, not once, only, but again and
again. The negro bad to release her
and take to bis heels.

THE LEGIsLATURE ADJOURNs.

THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
The extra legislative .ssion adjourn
ed on Saturday afternoon little after
half-past FIVE o'clock.
After twenty-four days session the
lawmakers spent their last Official
hours in boyish frivolity.
From the time OF conveping at noon
until the moment OF adjourniug sine die
there was very little serious business in
the House of Delegates. a few bills
were passed, but the greater part OF the
day was spent in offering bogus motions
or 10 raising mock questions OF parlia'
mentary etiquette and procedure.
Motions and resolutions concerning
muskrats, champagne, the Order OF
Buffaloes, and other matters equally as
ridiculous, were the order OF the oc-
casion, and several public office holders
were lacked MP Unexpectedly aud
forced to make speeches.
The Senators were too dignified to
openly indulge In such skylsrkiDg, but
most of them slipped into The hall OF
the House and there enjoyed the fun.
The last day OF the Senate was mark
ed by two exceedingly short sessions.
At the first hardly more than a dozen
Senators were In their seats.
Mr.. Morris asked the unanimous con.
sent OF the Senate to introduce and
have passed bill amending the char
ter of the city OF Charlottesville. The
request was granted, and the bill
passed.
A recess was then taken until 5
O'Clock, In order to allow the Governor
time to sign all bills which were passed
on Friday.
At 5:14 o'clock the president took the
chair and raped the body to order.
There were just eight senators in the
hall. A committee was appointed to
notify the Governor that the Senate
was ready to adjourn.
A 5:32 o'clock the committee report
ed that the Governor had no further
communications for the Senate. A
member was designated to notify the
House that the Senate was ready 10 adj
journ. The same Information was
brought from the House and at 5:37
o'clock the Senate adjourned for the
session.
The House was convened at noon
and was in session not more than ten
minutes.
Mr.. Pitcher offered the only resolu.
ton that was voted on at all. That
was that the House take recess until
5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Governor signed the con.
stiiutional convention bill at 5:25
o'clock. The House convened for the
afternoon session at o'clock.
The Governor had Lot yet finished
signing the bills. The House took aD-
other recess. But before this Mr.. Nc
Allister, OF Bath. was appointed to wait
on the Governor aud ask him II he bad
any further communication to make to
the General Assembly. Mr.. McAllister
returned with the report that the Gov
ernor had no communication to make.
A few moments later page brought
the message that the Governor had con.
Guided signing bills which has kept
him 30 busy of late.
At once Speaker Saunders took the
chair, and, without further ceremony,
the lower House of the General AS
sembly at $50 adjourned sine die.
