| abouts of three colored highwaymen who

| his home in the West End, coming to
| Alexandria.
The highwaymen stopped Mr. Stout, who
was driving home in a buggy,t and asked
| him for match. Before he could comply
with the request a pistol was thrust into
| his face and two of the three men went
through his pockets. securing $13 in cash,
together with gold watch. a stickpin
and ring. The men then decamped, and
In less than an hour atterward attempted
to hold up Mr.. Corgan in the vicinity OF
Ballengers store, West End.
One of the trio who was lettering on a
bridge in that section thrust a pistol into
his face as he passed. commanding hin.
to halt. Instead Of complying with their
request he ran away and went to Bal

tempted robbery.

Plea for More Police.
That there are an insufficient number
OF policemen on the force was the opin-
ion expressed by several members of the
, board OF police commissioners at meet
ing of that body last night.
This discussion was precipitated when
Commissioner Lawler suggested that il
would be advisable TO have two men do
patrol duty all night Saturday night in
| the second ward, especially in view OF
the danger encountered by a single pa
trOiman in the northeastern section of
the city, embracing this ward. 1t was
explained that after o'clock there is
only one patrolman on duty in this ward
Sunday morning.
The matter was left in the hands OF
Chief Goods. who promised to rearrange
the schedule of the men, beginning Sat-
urday night next, so as to have two men
to do patrol duty throughout the night
In that ward.
There was an informal discussion re-
garding the INSTALLATION Of fire and po-
lice alarm system which will be fur
Their discussed by the board at the next
meeting. According to the monthly re-
port OF Chief Goods LAT prisoners have
been taken in custody since his last re-
port.
