QUIET IN RICHMOND.

There were no new developments III
the strike situation in Richmond yester-
day except that the cars we're patronized
more largely The weather was intense
ly hot, and many who had walked
during the cool days resorted to the cars.
At times the cars were crowded.
A Vile West show company gave
matinee at Main and Vine streets, the
open spot in the West End where cars
we're fired on some days ago and guards
returned the fire. On account of the
likelihood of large and unruly crowd
gathering a contemplated parade through
the city was not permitted, and the
county authorities vetoed the night per-
Torrance, as it could not be given with
out serious risk of riot. The showmen
were given instructions to pack up i'm
mediately and get away after the day
performance.
The question Of running cars in Man
chester creates much interest. The
company has the men ready to begin the
service, but up to yesterday evening no
move had been made to start them.
There is talk of the Manchester and
Chesterfield authorities asking for mill
tary protection, as it is regarded certain
that no car can get through without 1t.
About 35 members of the Fredericksburg
company went home yesterday on spe-
cial car to vote in the local option
election which took place there yesterday
but returned in time for duty at night.
More lawbreakers were heavily fined
in the Police Court yesterday. W. &
Pippin was one of these. Pippin was
charged with striking mOtorman on a
car. The motorman, after Pippin had
gotten of the track, ran ahead and de-
manded the arrest OF his assailant. Judge
Leake, of Goochland, was on the car, and
also demanded the arrest of the offender.
The Justice imposed fined of S25 and q
sentence of 60 days in Jail.
There is well, defined plan on foot
among citizens to organize against the
threatened boycott of the street-car strik-
ers who are taking the names of passen-
gers who use the cars. A petition was
circulated among the merchants of Broad
street yesterday providing that each sign
err shall use the cars according to his
needs or pleasure as he may please, and
that if amp of them is boycotted all the
Others will stand behind him. The paper
was numerously signed, and it is expect
ed that 5, 900 names will be secured to
the paper.
Cars were running on all lines last
night without disturbance, and ladies
rode on the cars to and from the parks
for the first time.
The company regards the fight as won,
but the strikers declare they still have
the advantage. To the public it seems
that it is now only matter of how long
it will be necessary to keep the troops
there to preserve order.
The strike of the motormen and con-
ductors on the street electric railway, in
Petersburg remains unbrohen, and neither
side has yet yielded, and there are no
present indications of their doing so.
Travel on the cars continues very light.
For the first time since the strike two
weeks ago a car was run yesterday over
the Richmond and Petersburg Electric
Railway as far as Bellwood, seven miles
south of Manchester.

A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DIR. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man Physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the sever
est nature, removing, as it does, the
cause of the affection and leaving the
parts in a strong and healthy condition.
1t is not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now
sold in every town and yillagein the civ
ilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price 25 and 70 cts.
