Conductor Wrests Revolver
From Negroes Who At?
tempt Hold-Up.
As lie was on Ills way to the sta?
tion tn tak. his train out. W. P. lial
yin, a conductor in tin- employ of the
Chesapeuku un<1 Ohio Hallway Com?
pany, reported last night thai he was
hold up by two negroes at \Ii? corner
of Beverly Street und the Boulevard,
und that, alter a tussle, lie wrested a
revolver from the. huntls of om of the
negroes and shot him.
Mr. Calvin live- at 3022 Beverly
Street. He had gone inn a short dis?
tance When he encountered two ne?
groes, oho, the taller, rushed towards
him. will-, leveled mm. According '.o
Mr. Oalvln, the negro llred when he
offered resistance, nnd he whs shot I
in tin- right arm. But he managed to
wrest the pistol away from the high?
wayman, and both negroes look t"
tlu-lr heels. With the highwayman's
own revolver, the railway conductor
tiled at tin- fleeing forms, and believes
that he struck one, as he saw one fall
forwards. Hut the latter's Companion '
pulled him to his feet, and together
tlie two disappeared in the darkness. ,
Wounded ;it Head.
While Mr. Oalvln was being held up.
us he reported. W. XI. l ore, of 1200 !
.North Twenty-sixth Street, was being
trcuied but a square away by Dr. Ilul
cher, of the city ambulance corps, for
a severe wound In his skull.
Mr. Fore had stated to Bicycle Po?
licemen Tiller and Andrews, who an?
swered the emergency call, that he
had been held tip by two negroes, an.I
thai upon his show- of resistance, one
of them had struck him in the head
with what ho ilHiifglu (io be an Ice
pick. lie wutv ho4d- ifp on Beverly
Street, near the nir,ifi- of Robinson,
111b forehead was cut open fot length
of five inches, anil four stitches were
necessary to dose the wound.
As !,ls injury was being dressed by
the ambulance' surgeon', Mr. l-'ore de?
scribed th< negroes who had held him
up. and the two bicycle officers search?
ed the streets for several squares ami
came a .-loss two colored men who they
thought answered the description. Hut
r.dther Mr. Pore nor the friend who
had been accompanying him were able
to identify the alleged highwaymen. It
was jus! as lb. last stitch was being
taken that a citizen ran up to tell of
bearing pistol shots a short distance
Sway. The officers went lo the scene,
and there found Conductor Oalvln with
the revolvi in his hand. Prom him
they obtained 'a description of the two
highwaymen, and It corresponded tn
the mulii details with the description
of the men who bad utlltcked Mr Pore.
The officers had llSoruted the two
negroes they took into custody upon
the failure Mi. l ore an.I his friend
to identify them, Inn believed after
Wards that tn- -aine negroes committed
both hold-ups.
As the two crimes occurred within
a se| on re ,.f the circus grounds! where
the Wild West show of Buffalo Hill
and Pawnee Hill was In progress, it la
thought tli.t the two negroes were
either connected with or wore follow?
ers of tin- show. The Oral hold-lip

_
-
I Representatives of Enterprise
Claim to Have Let Work
for Fifteen Miles.
WANT SEVEN PINES ROAD
Street Car [Company Desires to
Sell ami Be Relieved of
Obligations.
There wits no quorum last night of
Hie Subcommittee of the Council Com?
mittee on Streets, to which was refer?
red the' petition of the Richmond, Ur
banna and Peninsular Railroad Com?
pany, to be allowed to purchase the
Seven Pines electrlce lino from the
Virginia Railway and rower Company.
The absence Of members was partly
explained through the fact thnl sub?
committees of the Street Committee
had been meeting each night for the
past week and were worn Olit- There
was present, however, a Wealth of
letial talent, for and against the propo?
sition.
Briefly speaking:, the petitioners
claim to have already awarded con?
tract for erection of fifteen miles of .1
proposed railway line from Richmond
to Urbnnnu. and to have surveyors at
work on the remainder. As part itf
this line they have secured an option
on the present Seven Pines road, be?
longing to the Virginia Railway and
Power Company, und desire to pur?
chase it and make it a part of their
system.
Tlie street ear company was repre?
sented by A- B. Outgon, who stated
that his company had given such an
option ror the sale of the Seven Pines
line, the sale being conditioned on the
action of the Council in releasing; the
company from Its present ticket anil
transfer obligations.
MiiNt Give Trnnafer?.
At present the company is compelled
bv its charter to sell ordinary tickets
and school tickets and to kIvc and ac?
cept transfers from other lines, good
to the end of the line. It Is claimed
that the Seven Pines line, because of
its condition requiring it to carry
passengers an average of nine miles
for less than .*, cents, is losing; in act?
ual operating expenses alone about
S1B.000 a year, without allowing for
interest on the Investment.
Citizens Of Highland Sprlngn. Seven
Pines and other settlements along the
line have employed counsel, and will
titrht the sale of the road under any
such conditions. They assert that the
sale Is a pretense to u"l rid of an Un?
profitable suburban line.
Members of the committee present
expressed the view that the objection
could be readily met by requiring of
the purchasers before they are relieved
of the ticket and transfer requirements
now obtaining, that they trive bond to
build the road to Urbannn within ;\
so, cllied period. Seven Pines and
Highland Sprintes people are not citi?
zens nc Richmond, and members of the
committee held It more to the Inter?
ests of the city to have a railroad
into an undeveloped territory now trib?
utary to Baltimore than lo have a Sil- j
burblin line through a sparsely settled
territory. At present the trade the
whole peninsula section from trucking
farms as close as twelve miles from
Richmond, is entirely diverted to Bal?
timore bv way of steamship lines on
Ho- Vork. Pamuiikey and Mattapon!
Rivers.
in the absence"''of n quorum, the com?
mittee discussed the proposition infor?
mally; and adjourned to Thursday
iiislit of next week.
