LOCAL MATTERS.

SUICIDE IN JAIL-A PRISONER HAs1s
HIMSELF IN JAH.-Yesterday morning, at
about half-past O'Clock, prisoner named
Charles Smith in the city Jail, had occa-
sion to go into the cell mo. g. of fellow
inmate, named Frank Burns, and upon
opening it, he found the latter hanging
dead from one of the bars of his cell,
to which he had tied his drawers. He had
placed his undershirt over the window in
order to keep from being seen. The
alarm was Immediately given to Mr.. J. E.
Brooks, one of the turkeys, who visited
the cell, and found the man quite dead.
The deceased bad evidently attached his
drawers to the bar, and put them around
his neck whilst standing upon stool,
and jumped off, killing himself by strangu-
lation. Mr.. Brooks unlocked his cell at
about quarter of 7 o'clock in the morn
ing, and saw him lying upon his bed as
usual. He saw nothing of him until after
he had been notified by Smith that he
had hung himself.
An inquest was held over the body yes
terday afternoon by Coroner Little, and
evidence taken, which elected but little in
addition to the above facts. Barney Ira
cey, who had during his confinement occu-
pied the same cell with the deceased, tes-
tilted that the deceased was usually very
sad and thoughtful, and that he had heard
him say upon one occasion that he wished
he had never been born. The deceased
was always eager for food; and Barney,
who got his meals from home, often gave
him his prison allowance. He noticed that
when the deceased ate much he slept but
little, and walked about in the cell great
deal at night. He was of the opinion that
his mind was not sound.
The jury rendered verdict to the effect
"that the deceased came to his death by
violence, having hanged himself in his cell
between the hours of 624 and 9I."
Burns was man of about thirty years
of age. He had black hair, black eyes,
and pale complexion. He had rather an
idiotic countenance, dressed badly, and
his appearance was altogether rather re-
pulsive. He was arraigned before the
Mayor on the 30th day of January last for
having in his possession small parcel of
stolen iron, and was committed to Jail in
default of surety, where he remained till
the time of his death. He was Of Scottish
extract, came from Missouri, and was, as
as far we could learn, without friends in the
city.

I SroNE BRipag BETWEEN RrCHMoSD ASD
MANcHEsTER--C0srRA AwARDED.--The
trustees of the town Of Manchester met on
Tuesday night to open the proposals for
building stone bridge across James river,
connecting that town with this city. There
were eleven bids, and the contract was
aWaraed 70 Henry Exall, the well known
arcnitect OF this city, at s250,000. He Is
required 70 give ample security for the
faithful performance Of his contract accord.
ing to its specifications. We have seen the
plans and drawings, and they show that the
bridge is to be substantial and magnif.
cent structure. It is to be stone arch
bridge, 1900 feet long, roadway twenty
two feet wide, walkway six feet wide, with
stone balustrades aud balconies. ss9cs =
| The trustees of Manchester have 'ap-
pointed DR.. L. r. Chiles president of the
Board, William G.. Taylor, (of the firm Of
William B. Isascs & Co., bankers,) and
William /. Clopton, attorney for the town,
a committee to negotiate Q loan sufficient
to build the bridge; and they will at once
adopt measures to secure it. We doubt
not that the bonds Of the town can be
readily sold for the amount needed. The
Legislature Of Virginia has authorized the
loan, and no corporation in the United
States can offer capitalists q safer invest
ment than will be these bonds. II is pro-
posed to secure them by mortgage upon
the bridge itself, as well as upon the valu-
able water power and real estate owned by
the town. The water power alone Is worth
at least 100000, and is now yielding Q
large annual income in water rents, and is
capable Of great enlargement and improve
ment; and the new bridge itself will be
worth as property twice the cost of its
erection, for some idea may be formed Of
the amount Of tolls which may be realized
from bridge connecting Richmond and
Manchester, when it 10 known that Mr..
Mayo refused to sell to the trustees Of
Manchester his inferior wooden bridge for
less than $3.50, 900. The entire debt of the
town is only $4,000.
1t is understood that the new bridge
will as soon as possible be free to Manches-
ter, and if Richmond will aid in building
it we may have what has been long needed,
free bridge across James river.
The stone bridge will be constructed with
special reference to a double track street
railway.
