For some time past the officials of the Southern Railway Company have been hav- ing considerable trouble with tramps. Two weeks ago Special Officer Loving, for the company, was badly beaten by two hobos, who succeeded m making their escape. Last night about 11 o'clock Mr. Bryant Henry, one of the night watchmen at the depot, saw two men on a bumper of a car of a freight train about to leave and or- dered them off. They got off, but one of them picked up a coupling pin and struck Mr. Henry across the head with it, cutting a deep gash in the forehead. Mr. Henry not having a weapon of any description, called for help, and a large crowd was soon upon the scene. In the meantime the two tramps had succeeded in making their es- cape, although the police have used every effort to capture them. Mr. Henry soon lost consciousness and he was carried to the office of Dr. W. M. O'Brien, surgeon of the company, where his wound was dressed, and he was removed to his home, and this morning he was doing as well as could be expected. His condition is not considered serious. A Handsome Present. Mr. M. C. Azema, a brother-in-law of Mr. William Wood, engineer of the Colum- bia Steam Fire Engine Company, yestef- day presented to the members of the Co- lumbia company a handsome present in the shape of a United States shield. It ts about three feet square, on a black back- ground of silk, and contains over twen| five hundred threads of silk. Mr. Azema, who has been in Cuina for some time, has just returned to this country, and ‘says that a Chinese lady made the shield for him, and that it took her ninety days to complete the work on it. The shield will be formally presented to the company at its next meeting, and, after its acceptance, will be handsomely framed and placed upon the wall of the company’s parlor. Pelice Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Aaron Page and Linden Sears, two small negro hols, ar- rested by Officer Young; charge, vagrancy; sent to workhouse for ten days. James, alias Barney, Richards, arrested by Officer Knight; charge, defacing the property of Capt. Enoch Davis; fined $5. John Jeffries, arrested by Officer Goods; charge, and disorderly; fined $10.’ Jame: maa, arrested’ by Officer Tics drunk in the street; Officer Deane; charge, in- fined §. Henry Munson Sdward Grayson, colored, arrested by t Proctor; charge, drunk and fighting; ; charge, fined $2. Samuel Gar- 4d Issue Double Warrants. By the provisions of an act of the last general assembly in future persons brought before the mayor charged with selling liquor without a license will be tried under both a city and a commonwealth warrant, and instead of getting off by a payment of a fine of seven dollars offenders will be compelled to pay at least hundred ao! more. Under the pr law the mayors’ and just courts have original jurisdiction in misdemeanor cases. Confederate Memorial Day. Capt. V Smoot will be chief marshal of the parade on Memorial day (Monday rext), and Mr. A.C. Wykcoff will be mar- shal of Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans. Each organization in line will also be mar- shaled. The route of the procession will be practically the same as that of last year. ‘The choir who will sing on the occa- sion met last night for practice in the M. E. Church South. There was a large crowd present. An Injanction Obtained. Mr. W. W. Henry of Richmond, through his attorney, Judge J. K. M. Norton, yes terday secured from Judge A. W. Wallace of Fredericksburg an injunction restrain- ing the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon Electric Railway Company from laying rails, stringing wires, etc., on King street extended in this city between the limits of the city and Hooff's Run. Mr. Hienry owns a small tract of land near Uthat poirt, and he claims that the railway by elevating its tracks, will make it diffi cult for him to get to and irom his prop. erty. The stopping of work will be a great inconvenience to the railway company, as they were making arian ts for open- ing their line between this «ity and Wash- ington by the Ist of June. Notes. Messrs. M.B.Harlow & Compnny have sold to Dr. Quackenbush, for Mr. £. B. Kemp, a house and lot on the north side of Cam- eron street near Henry, for $1,650.

Se DECORATING FABRICS. one Process Employed by Artisans in Java to Make Surrong. From the Literary Digest. M. Albert Tissandier contributes to La Nature (Paris, March 28) an account of the curious method in which the decorated fabrics known in Java as sarrong are made. We translate part of it: “The workman begins by stretching be- fore him the stuff that is to be decorated; it is a sort of calico, generally of European make, whose quality varies with the in- tended price of the object. He first traces on the tissue with a light line the design of the future ornamentation of the sar- rong. This operation concluded, he pro- ceeds to cover the whole trace with a thin layer of melted wax. He employs for this purpose en instrument that is specially de- signed for the work, but very simple. It ‘s of copper, and consists of a little reservoir about 2 centimeters (4-5 inch) long, from whose bottom proceeds a light tube curved at {ts end. Sometimes, to make thicker lines, this reservoir has two of these tubes placed very close together. The end of the instrument opposite the littie tubes is fitted with a bamboo handle. The boiling wax fills the reservoir and issues drop by Grop from the end of the tube upon the de- sign. Sethe operation, thenks to the -practiced hand of the werkman, is carried on with considerable rapidity.’ A lighted furnace, on which are placed a large number of these little reservoirs, is placed near the worker. He has thus always, without Joss of time, the necessary quantity of hot- liquid wax. The stuff is now covered with wax in certain parts, while others remain untouched; then it is handed over to the dyer, who puis it in a bath of color, red, for example, mada with manboukou, a powder extracted from the bark of the tree Morinda citrifotia, one of the family of the Rubieceae. The dye strikes in on all parts of the fabric that the wax has not touched. When the whole is perfectiy dry the wax is easily detached after soaking two days in cold water. The design that it covered appears entirely white, the original color of the fabric, while the background is red. if the white decgration is to be relieyed by tones of indiga blue it is necessary to cover the fabric with wax a secand time every- Where that the biue is not to appear on the Semen ab io eat beck, it to another dyeing wil now be decoraged with =e colors, ret, indigo; and winte. For ctr ting to be appdied the Operation must begutt anew imstha same mannety so nape thé process is very delicate if the lines aré fin€ or the colors numerops. It may be imagined, how long and minuie ‘these successive processes are whon we re- member the strange and camplicated deco- ration of roar beautiful faprics. They are always fu f fancy and very harmonio: In Uinta; ghat fe their true merit.” worms NEW NAVAL CADETS. Twenty-Seven Successful Candidates at Annapolis.
