' ' The following from the Richmond Times on the subject of Whijo's ar rest, is interesting : - " Whito was raised in .this city, where he was identified,with a wild set of young men. He attended col lege at Randolph Maoon, in' Ashland, Va., for a while, bui the: place was too tamo for his sporting proclivities, so be returned to Richmond and after a short residence : here went West, and was next heard of as sporting editor of the Chicago Inter- Ocean; at least that title appeared upon his business cards. "After spending some time in the West he appeared suddenly in Rich mond,' and raised quite a stir here by eloping with Miss Addie John son, daughter oi tne late .virginius Johnson,-a young lady "of many per sonal charms and very well kno wn in Richmond. White carried his fair bride to the, 'Windy City, and for a time notlH lug was heard from him. Then came the news of his arrest for shooting one of his quondam friends on the suspicion that he had insulted his wife; The affair, which at first looked serious, did not amount to anything in the end. The wounded man recovered, and White was ac quitted on the ground of having had sufficient provocation for his action. Since that time wuitelmsseveral times been in Richmond accompanied by his wife. He was here during the session of 'the legislature,, and used every endeavor to prevent the passage of theMaupin anti-gamblifig bilh The. telegraph last ; night brought the first news of this erratic young man that has been received for some time in Richmond." ' Since the above was written Col. Ellett has decided not to apply for a writ of habeas corpus, but is at this writing arranging to give a bail bond of $6,000, upon which Judge Hanckel has agreed to release the prisoner. , " A telegram has been received says ing that White was indicted In Bal tlmore today, and that officials had left for Annapolis to get the extradi tion papers and would proceed to Rluhmond tonight to got ,hem en dorsed by Governor O'Ferrall. J The following special telegram was received by the Times last night from Norfolk: .3 f ' " Several days ago a young man giving the name of Edward uay Whito put up at the Mt.

Caae Against C la rosea I'pohnreh Beard by Mayor Base TodaT. ' " --, '"'-V' f The case against Clarence Up4 church, who was charged with caus ing the death of Ida Hill, was heard before Mayor Russ this morning. A number of witnesses were ex- v amined, but the testimony was of . little consequence. Among those who were examined were Lydia--" Chamblee, Creecy Adams, Becky -Divine, Bettie Womack and Henri etta Freeman. The testimony of Creecy Adams, who shrouded the dead woman, was that the body bore signs of one or two small bruises, which were of a trivial nature. Justice Roberts made a statement of the facts in the case heretofore enumerated. The defense did not introduce any witnesses, as It was not deemed necessary. . The defendant, when arrested, put in a plea of former jeopardy and the further plea of "not guilty." The case was called before Justice Rob erts and on suggestion of Mr. Thos Devereux, counsel for the defend ant, it was removed to Mayor Russ for the reason that the defense might desire to use Justice Roberts as a witness. Mayor Russ in rendering his de cision held that while the plea of former jeopardy was good, the case tried and determined last Thursday by Justice Roberts, who had juris diction only for the same offense and the same evidence, if it was good, yet there was no evidence adduced to even hold the defendant upon the plea of "not guilty. " Mr. Upchurch was discharged. Ida Hill's remains were interred in potter's field today, under the di rection of city authorities. "A Night's Frolic."
