Manchester Bureau, Richmond Times,


No. 11O2 Hull Street.
Not satisfied with robbing dwelling
houses Of money and valuables, thieves,
who have for some two or three months
been operating In Manchester, paid
visit Sunday night to Dundee, the
beautiful suburban home OF ex-Governor
O'Ferrail, at present occupied by ME-.
Robert Walden, and nearly ruined the
flowers in the yard.
This pretty home lies on the bank OF
stream near Forest Hill Park. The yaro
fairly abounds with beautiful and rare
flowers of every description, and these
were broken and torn by the thle'eS III
such a manner as to nearly rum the
looks of them for the summer months;
Mr.. Walden says the flowers were puileo
from nearly every bush In the Saru'
MEN SUSPENDED.
1ull in business at the Southern
shops in Manchester caused eighteen en-
ployes in tho paint shop, and several IN
the tin shop to be SuSpendeS yeStet-
day. The suspension is only nporapS
and the men will be re-emplo-eo "heh
the work demands Of their presence.
This is the first time the shops have laid
OFF anv men IN nearly two years. The
reason given for this is the failure 10 get
cars in the yards to paint
TWO ACCIDENTS.
Mr. Ellis Ashby, living at Glover, Va
met with a painful though not Serious
accident yesterday afternoon While COM
ing into Richmond. The young man was
standing on a caboose car, when ne was
struck by an overhead bridge. He re-
ceived a painful wound in the head. The
company's surgeon, DR.. Merchant, at
tended him.
Mr.. Fred SPHERE, q young man, claim
ing Chesterfield as his home, was struck
en- the head last night, while coming into
the city, by a falling limb from a tree.
The accident was a very peculiar one ana
for a time rendered him nearly uncon-
scious It seems that just as he arrived
under a dead tree a limb fell. ana part OF
it struck him on the head.

FOR a JUSTICE.
Mr.. James Martin. a popular and well
known gentleman of this city, finds him
self in a very awkward position, and at
the same time very extraordinary one.
When the Democratic primary was held
there was no candidate for the position
Of justice of the peace from the Third
Ward. The office was to be filled by
members of the city Committee. Mem
bers of this committee came to Mr.. Mar
tin and offered him the nomination. at
the same time urging him to accept.
This he finally did Now it happens that
through an oversight Mr.. G. A. Carr had
failed to make application, and he wants
the office and Mr.. Martin wants him 10
have it. The clerk of the Electoral Board
will not allow Mr.. Martin to withdraw
his name
NOT IN MANCHESTER.
An article from Petersburg, referring to
a missing young girl, who was said to
have been enticed away from her nome
in Dinwiddie county. and who, 1t was
thought, was in Manchester, started in
uuiry over here this morning, but no
such person could be located. The
mother of the girl was in Petersburg
Yesterday, and told the police that her
daughter was only seventeen years old
and she thought she was in Manchester
The name Of the mother Of the
girl is given as Mrs. A e.
Allison. The police know moth
ing of such person here and no clti-
zen seen. knew Of the presence in Man
chester Of a strange young girl.
CORRECTION.
The mention that a compromise had
been effected in the suit Of Mr.. Jewett
against the Southside Telephone Com
pany for the sum of S25. was mistake,
as far as the compromise part Of it went.
The jury in the case rendered verdict
for $125, and counsel for the company
asked for new trial. The judge told
the plaintiffs that he would give them
s25 or they could go into new trial. The
sum was accepted by counsel for Mr..
Jewett, Judge w. I. Clopton. Mr.. E. H.
Wells represented the company.
