RETURNING TRANQUILITY.

Col. Anderson issued an order last
night relieving all of the militia that had
not already been withdrawn from further
duty in Richmond. Only the four Rich
mond companies we're on duty, and the
members of these spent the nightat home.
The troops have been in Richmond about
four weeks, and have probably cost the
State $50, 900 or more. The check to be
drawn in a few days to pay them off will
be the largest issued for military service
since the war. In dismissing the troops,
Col. Anderson complimented them on
their uniformly good behavior, which he
says has reflected credit upon the troops
and upon the State.
Each day sees the receipts Of the Pas
senger and Power Company increasing,
showing that more people are riding each
day. Applications for employment con-
tinue t. pour in, butthe officials say they
have accurate information that there is
to be big break in the ranks of the
strikers shortly, and they are waiting for
this, as there are some men now on
strike whom they want back-men
who served them faithfully. Super
intendent Buchanan says that some
of the men who will return to work are
holding off because they fear that if they
return now they will lose the money due
them from the strikers fund. When
they get that, it is said, they will return
to work.
w. j. Griggs, of the union, however,
says the strikers are as confident of win
ming now as they have ever been, and
that there is no thought whatever of
surrender,
There are now twenty-eight or thirty

Race Horse Burned to Death.

Lexington, KY, July 22.-John E.
Madden's famous stallion Imp. Mirthful,
valued at 100000 was burned to death
in a fire which destroyed his barn at
Hamburg Place. The loss, including
the stallion, will amount to close on
5000, 1000 Imp. Mirthful was the most
famous sire in Madden's stud. While
it is not known just what Madden paid
for him, it is known that he would not
accept $1,000 for the horse. Imp.
Mirthful was the sire of such thorough
beds as Mexican, Aceful, Needful,
Skillful, Jackfull, Jocund, Never Such
and Kinford.

THE Board of Fire Commissioners OF
Richmond took strong ground in favor
of strike discipline in that department
ON Monday night, when one Of the men
was fined 800; another $40, and still
another $40 for talking on the side OF
the strikers. during the recent disorders
in that city. The case of chief interest
was that of w. Atkisson, driver OF
trick who was charged with using
language unbecoming an officer on
train between Old Point and Richmond,
about two weeks ago. The Board fined
Atkisson 800 for his talk, and ordered
that he pay it in instalments OF $50 per
month. l.. f. Franck and ). W.
HeAIev. of No, 5 Engine Company,
were fined $40 and $40, respectively,
for saving to each other that they would
refuse to turn the hose on a mob in case
of riot if ordered to do so. The above
would seem severe penalties for mere
talk. and probably these fines will be
reduced or finally RENTED. There Is,
however, another side to the matter
which the fire commissioners seem not
to have lost sight Of People in the
employ of a city are supposed to be
,conservators Of the peace in a certain
sense. At any rate no one wing OF a
municipal government should be mimi
cal to the executive department when a
city is in an uproar and attempts are
being made to restore tranquility. All
in the employ of a city should vie in
preserving order, and doubtless the
proceedings of the Richmond fire com
missioners will call forcible attention
to the duty of people on municipal pay
rolls.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1903.

JUDGE INGRAM, in his charge to the
grand jury in Richmond on Monday
among other things said
After an accused person has been ar
rested an officer is justified in using / he
amount of force necessary to detain him
in custody, and he may kill the prisoner
10 prevent his escape, providing 1t be,
comes necessary, whether he be charged
with felony or a misdemeanor. But
when a prisoner charged with mlsde-
meanor has already escaped, the officer
cannot lawfully use any means to recap
ture him that he would not have been
justified in employing in making the
first arrest; and if, in the pursuit, he
Intentionally kill the accused, it is MUIR
der and if it appear that death was not
intended the ofense will be manslaugh-
ter
Mr.. Minor in his synopsis Of the law
of crimes and punishments, states the
law to be that:
An officer attempting to make an ar
rest for q misdemeanOr, or In civil
suit. is justified in killing the party to
be arrested only where he is proceeding
upon a warrant, or in case Of breach
of the peace, or an ahray upon his own
view. or an attempt to escape from law
ful custody. If the party then resists,
and is killed, having been notified OF the
officers character, it is, in the case
above stated, justifiable.
In view of an affair which occurred in
this city several nights ago when a
citizen resisted arrest and was seriously
injured by officers, it would be well for
both conscrvators Of the peace and peo-
nile TO read the above closely. Judge In
gram quotes a number of authorities in
reaching his conclusions. The affair on
the old fair grounds has Occasioned
much comment, and, as mightbe expect
ed the friends of the officers and those
of the victim of the policemen's batons
view the matter through different lenses.
The charge of unnecessary force on the
mart of the officers will be investigated
by the Mayor on Monday, and until
his decision shall have been rendered
Judgment will, in a measure, be sus-
pended.

Atlantic Coast line midway between
Richmond and Petersburg. The negro,
whose name is not known, is thought to
have boarded aSeaboard Air Line north
bound freight train, and the Manchester
authorities were requested to look out
for him. Up to l a. IN. nothing has
been heard of the negro in Richmond or

very meager. Even at Chester, which
is only two miles from Centralia, meme
of the facts is known. 1t has not been
possible to ascertain the names of the
victims. A large number of Chester
field citizens, armed with shoguns, are
hunting for the negro, and if he is found
he will almost certainly be shot down or
lynched.

ANOTHER disclosure has been made
in Manila, according to a dispatch in
Yesterdays Gazette. Numbers of price
less books, silverwear, paintings, and
mural decorations belonging to Span
iards, which were in that city when the
United States took possession, cannot
now be found. The disclosure was made
when it was determined to place some of
them on exhibition in st. Louis. The
original custodian says they were seized
in 1898 by Americans, since which time
he has no idea of their whereabouts.
The extent of the looting carried on in
Manila and other places in the Philip
pine Islands during the past five years
will never be fully known.

schism Among American Catholics.

London, July PA dispatch from
Paris states that Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland are suspected of ar
ranging a break in the ranks of the
American Catholics. The dispatch says:
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ire
land are thought in Rome to be leading
the American Catholics to a schism.
The French cardinals and the Bishop Of
Nancy are certain they are, and as re-
suit the bishop has warned French Cath
olics not to allow themselves to be Amer
icanized by certain theologians who
write up Gibbons and Ireland and their
master, Father Haeckel." 1t is also
mentioned that a book written by the
late Pope, while he was bishop of Peru
gia, was placed on index as heretical,
and when Leo assembled the papal throne
he did not care TO notice it,

ton already aggregating 5000, 600 and
likely to be increased to a larger amount
when all the facts are known, has been
uncovered in Buffalo, n. Y. The al
legged defaulter is a confidential clerk and

that he confessed when confronted. but
was willing to make restitution. A
desire to straighten out the firms affairs
and to save as much as possible of the
money involved has caused the firm to
stay the hand of the law. A "fake"
mortgage for large sum brought the
matter to light None Of the firms
money was squandered. 1t was invested

Trouble in Minor German Court.

Berlin, July 22.-Trouble is reported
in Saxe-Weimar Eisenbach. The Grand
Duke William Ernest three months ago
married Caroline, the 19-year-old
daughter of Henry Reuss. After their
honeymoon, the grand ducal pair en-
tered Weimar in triumph in the begin
ming of June. A few days ago the
Grand Duchess suddenly left Weimar,
and went to Switzerland. Rumor has
given many versions for the trouble.
One has it that her flight was the re-
suit of quarrel with her husband, but
this is not believed to be the cause as
the couple were devoted to each other.
The story most credited is that several
elderly female courtiers attempted to
tyrannize the young Duchess and re-
press her gaiety and unconventional
manner and that the Duchess, rather
than be a slave at her own court, fled.
Another version has it that madness IS
prevalent in the Reuss family and it is
possible that the Grand Duchess has in
herited the hereditary eccentricities.
