FINED AND IMPRISONED.
The Mayor this morning imposed a line
of 500 and Jail sentence OF six months
each in the cases of William brisbane ana
William Wise, negroes. who were charged
with shooting in the public street at
Messrs. w. a. Young and Percy 5.
Blanks. with felonious intent. Messrs.
Young and Blanks who had been out on
pleasure drive with friends one evening
last week, stopped their wagon near the
corner Of Halifax and Jones streett,
for some of the party to allght WINE
thus engaged the negroes. who were also
driving. ran into the wagon. They pc
came very angry with the young men for
stopping their wagon on the street, lay
ing the blame of the collision on them,
and became so insulting and abusive that
they were driven off with a warning to
keep quiet.
Soon afterwards, as Messrs. Young and
BlanAs jumped into their wagon to drive
away, the negroes reappeared, and a
shot was fired at the young men, the
ball striking the seat between them. Inc
evidence this morning was that both of
the negroes were engaged IN the affair."
and both had made threats against the
two gentlemen, both had handled the
pistol, but that the shot had probably
been fired by Wise An appeal was noted.

START YEAR IN. STRIPES.
Eighteen Prisoners Brought to PEN
itentiary from Norfolk.

Eighteen prisoners, bound for the peni
tertiary from Norfolk, arrived here last
night on the 40 Chesapeake and Ohio
train. and were taken at once to that
institution. The convicts We're brought
in a special coach attached to the rear
of the train, and We're handcuffed in
pairs and chained in tours.
There were three white men. one negro
woman, and fourteen negro men in the
gang, and they We're a desperate looking
lot They literally tumbled from the car
and were hurried through the depot to
open wagons, in which they were driven
to the penitentiary Two of the white
men were handcuffed together, and the
other white man, who was the youngest
and most respectable looking of the party,
was coupled with the woman.
There is probably no moment in the
life of convict that is more utterly
hopeless and miserable than when he
passes through the portals of the iron
gates Of the penitentiary and hears them
swing to with clang. Then it is that
the full meaning of it rushes over him,
and he realizes that he is shut off from
the world and all that he holds dear.
From now on he shall ever look through
bars. Such seemed the ca Sc with that lit
tie group of criminals last night, for on
the face of each was depicted utter hope
leSSneSS and abandon.
