Manchester Bureau, Richmond Times,

The Richmond Passenger and Power
Company will place the new cars now
in operation on Perry Street on the Hull
Street line possibly this week. Hull
Street has been heretofore classed as a
branch line and the oldest cars have
been put on it, but now the returns of
this line are third larger than those OF
the Perry Street route. In the morning
between and Z o'clock travel on TINS
branch is very heavy, and the company
are placing the new cars on to accom-
modate the crowd Without ever going
over Mayos Bridge again the citizens are
satisfied with the present arrangements
and If the cars are run close enough to-
gether to accommodate the crowd they
will make no complaint.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
The Finance Committee met in the
Council Chamber last night and changed
the present way of renting per cent.
on taxes if paid at the first of July.
Heretofore if a citizen paid his taxes
promptly on the first, 5 per cent. was
taken off. and if he waited six months
per cent. was added. This will be
stopped in the future
The question of the ownership of GER
tain piece of land lying on Seventh Street
was referred to the City Attorney, Judge
CIopton.
The committee was in session for nearly
two hours, and transacted a good deal OF
routine business.
AFTER THIEVES.
The police are securing the city in an
! attempt to capture the mysterious thieves
who are operating in the city. A good
haul was made Tuesday night Four
houses were entered on West Twelfth
Street, and money and rings amounting
| ~, V;,&
Mr.. Aiken, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Tatum,
who live at Nos. $40, 512 514 and 523. re-
spectively. were the sufferers. The total
amount of money stolen was about $40,
and the rings are valued at $40. Many
people think the thieving is done by the
crowd who operated in Richmond for the
past month, and after that city became
too hot for them they came to Manches-
ter.
Several other cases have been reported,
all being small, however.
