Tricks of a Ventriloquist.

A night or two ago, while train on
the Washington Southern Railway was
coming towards this city, man,
who is ventriloquist as well as wag,
made series of squeals which caused a
female passenger 10 imagine she had sat
down on rat. She shrieked, stood up
on the seat and caused some consterna-
ton till the ventriloquist came to her
rescue, pretended he had caught the
rodent under the seat which, while still
squealing, he cast ont of window.
Last night an excitable express mes
senger on the same road had a slot ma
chine in his charge, and after the train
passed this city he was much alarmed to
hear human voice in the device, cry,
"Get me out of herel I'm smother
ing" The ventriloqUist, who was in
the car, feigned establishment and went
to the machine when the cries became
louder and more urgent When the
train was at Ninth street in Washington
the express messenger was anxious to
leave the train, but was prevailed on to
stay aboard. At the Sixth street depot
he positively refused to touch the slot
and others had to remove it
from the car.

The New Registration.

Not all of the registrars recently APP
pointed for this city by the constitu-
tioual convention have yet qualified for
office, and their attention is called to
that article which provides that "Il
any person appointed refuse or fail to
qualify by the first day Of August, or to
serve, or if a vacancy occur in such
board, the judge of the County Court OF
the county, or of the Corporation Court
of the city, shall by appointment supply
the place or fill the vacancy" So
much confusion has arisen as to the
eligibility of unregistered citizens to
serve on juries, that it is thought the
registration should be held at the
earliest moment to set at rest this and
other questions now in doubt. The law
requires that the registration should be
completed by October 10, and that
twenty DAYS notice shall be given the
voters. 1t also provides that the boards
shall sit no longer than 10 days. 1t is
suggested that the boards from the four
wards meet as soon as possible, elect
their chairmen and secretaries, and ar
range the other matters incident to their
office. The time for conducting the
registration should also be determined,
and the earliest date obtainable seems
best to many, for the sooner the matter
is begun the sooner will it be ended,
and Alexandria will have settled the
question of who is entitled to vote at her
elections.

Man Whitecapped.

The normal quiet of the northwestern
portion of this city was broken last night
by cries emanating from that quarter
akin to those occasionally heard in a
country schoolhouse when the pedagogue
IS melting out condign punishment to a
refractory truant. 1t is charged that a
man with small stock of the Engl sh
language has been indulging in the
modern pastime of wife-beating, and
some Of his fellow Teutons called on him
during the wee sma' hours of last night.
Having onticed him into the street he
was seized and given a thrashing he will
remember for many days. He was then
released with the positive assurance that
should he, in the future, be guilty of
brutal conduct toward his better-half,
another castigation will be his portion.

Exceptional Cases.

A gentleman who has conducted bust
ness in this city for long timein talking
this morning of the responsibility OF
many of the colored race, said he has had
two colored men in his employ for the past
fifteen years During all that period he
has had but one application from either
of them to get off day, and that was
yesterday when one of the pair signifed
his wish to go on an excursion. Thegen-
tleman referred to has had long and
uninterrupted period of good luck. A
housekeeper in telling his woes a day or
two ago said his cook only made about
one-half of each month, and often her
whereabouts were almost as unknown to
him as are those of the man who struck
Billy Patterson.

To Be Tried at Last.

A dispatch from Warsaw today says:
"Judge r. p. Beale, Judge of the County
Court of Westmoreland county, decided
this morning to go into the trial of John
Lomax, colored, charged with assault
upon Miss Sissie Costenbader about one
month ago, near Potomac Mills, in that
county. The prisoner is still in Jail in
Alexandria county, where he has been
since the crime was committed, as lynch
ing was feared. He will on Monday be
taken to Montross by the Randall Line
steamer. The Washington Guards, OF
Fredericksburg, will accompany and
protect the prisoner during the trial. y
The prisoner is now confined in the city
jail waiting orders from the sheriff
of Westmoreand, who, it is thought,
will come here next Monday. An I'M
fortunate delay in this case took place
Monday, and after the Fredericksburg
soldiers reached. here they were obliged
to return without the prisoner. IL Is
hoped that now nothing further will in
terrupt the trial of the negro, and the
excitement that has been aroused
throughout the Westmoreland section
NAV quiet down.

The Nelson Case.

As was stated in the Gazette join
Nelson, who is charged with having
bnrned the gambling houses in Jackson
City the night Of July IA, was admitted
to bail yesterday by Judge j. NJ. Love
in the County Court. For two day,
Nelson's attorneys presented evidence
and arguments in the Alexandria County
Court to show that Nelson should be re-
leased, and the attorneys for the Com
monwealth were equally active in oppOs-
ing the release of the man charged with
arson. Late yesterday afternoon the ar
guments in the case were closed, and
Judge Love announced that Nelson
would be released on So, 900 bail. After
some delay, Nelson's attorneys submitted
the names of John Harlow and William
Duncan to the court az sureties. The
Judge approved of the two bondsmen,
and the prisoner was released. Five
charges have been filed against Nelson,
one for each of the buildings destroyed in
the Jackson City fire. The So, 600 bail
was apportioned among the various charges
as follows; Dwelling of Foster and
Sanderson, SO, 900; George Myers house
81, 900; Charles Smith housebOat, $500;
Pennsylvania Railroad tower $500;
Fosters club house, 81, 900. Before
Nelson was released, Judge Love an
nounced that a special grand jury will be
impanced Friday to consider the charges
against Nelson and against John Tighe,
the clubhouse employee, who also has been
charged with having a hand in the de-
struction of the buildings. Tighe was
unsuccessful in securing bail and sin Jail.
In calling the special grand jury, Judge
Love stated that he had been advised by
the authorities in Richmond of the pas
sage by the Virginia Legislature of laws
permitting the impaneling of juries. Now
that the question of legality of juries in
Virginia has been cleared, the court will
proceed with the trial of James Geary,
Attorney Simmons, and Elvin Marcy,
the three men charged with assaulting
soldiers in Rosslyn. The release OF
Nelson on bail is decided victory for
his attorneys. They claim it shows that
the attorneys for the Commonwealth did
not establish the fact that any destroyed
buildings were dwellings in the sense of
the word as used in the Virginia statutes,
which make it a capital offense to burn
dwelling house at night. If it had been
proven to the satisfaction of Judge Love
that the Nelson club house was the
regular lodging place of the men employed
in the house, the release of Nelson could
not have been effected, for his crime
would have been shown to be one that is
punishable by death.

THE MURDER OF MR.. WILSON. :.

L III Il VI L hDI<h VT MN. w lLAcON.
The pursuit of Charles Craven, the
negro who is suspected of having killed
Mr.. William H. Wilson, in the Sterling
neighborhOOd in lower Loudoun, con-
tinues vigorously. A report was current
last night to the effect that the negro had
been observed crossing the GAINESVILLE
pike and walking toward Georgetown.
1t is believed he is making an effort to
reach friends and cOncealment in Wash
ington. The crowds participating in the
search have hardly diminished since the
murder, and excitement is at fever heat
There is said to he no doubt that Craven
will be lynched if captured. Blood
hounds are being used by the authori-
ties in tracking Craven, but they seem
to have failed. Last evening a pack
of dogs from Suffolk passed through
Washington en- route to HerndOn. They
are to be used in tracking the negro.
Mr.. Wilson, the murdered man, was the
proprietor of the grist mill near Sterling,
in addition to being one Of the most
prominent farmers. He was member
of Mosby's command in the civil war, and
on the day hey shot his regiment held a
reunion at Leesburg. A strange ne
gro, who was said to answer the descrip-
ton given of Craven, was seen at the
Washington Southern Railway depot in
Alexandria yesterday evening. He pur-
chased a ticket and left ona south-bound
train.
