the calaboose, cell being assigned her
near that occupied by her father and
brothers. This afternoon the unhappy
young woman, through the efforts of her
counsel, was admitted to bail in the sum of
SO 800.
Owing to the exhausted condition of Mr..
Clark, the examination of the prisoners
could not be held to-day, They are, there
fore, still in durance vile, the justice declin-
ing to fix the amount of bail in their several
cases until he has heard all the evidence in
the case.
Before Miss Turner was released from the
calaboose she made statement which will
prove most damaging to her fathers and
and brothers cause, and which stamps their
attack upon Clark's life as most
DIABOLICALLY PLANNED AND cow
ARDLY MURDER.
Alarmed at the extent of Mr.. Clark's III
juries, and stung by the keenest remorse
for her participation in the fatal affray, Miss
Turner has confessed that she wrote the
note to Clark at the demand of her BROTH
ers, who, she alleges, have for some months
harbored bitter enmity against Clark,
threatening repeatedly that they would
"yet drive him off the railroad" that
when she received Clark's reply to the
note, appointing Walton street as the
place Of their meeting, it was planned
by her two brothers and her father that
she should walk with her dupe up Walton
street and past a certain designated house,
behind which they were to await conceal
ed; that upon her approach with Clark
they were to spring out and attack him, she
flying out of danger at given signal from
them.
How successful this hellish plan has been
carried out has been seen. Now it remains
for the authorities to do their duty and
bring the four conspiring murderers to
speedy, just and severe retribution.

not to have been a false alarm. 1t was

the counties labled, forming altogether a
curious and interesting relic of the past.

The Republican Senatorial District con-

counties of Lunenburg, Brunswick and

The two prominent candidates for nomi-
nation before the convention were VIM. p.
Austin, of Lunenburg, and Capt. George

The convention was very harmonious,
and after the usual amount of sparring over
the organization, &C., in which the friends
of Mr.. Austin, who were in the minority,
showed admirable tactics, a vote was
reached, by which Mr. Graham received
twenty-five votes, very large majority,
the whole number of delegates being but
thirty-two.
The announcement of the result was vo-
ciferously cheered by the friends of Mr..
Graham, and that gentleman being loudly
called for, came into the convention, and
accepted the nomination in a forcible and
appropriate speech. elAE a0t 8 a4lil
With judicious local nominations, this
senatorial district will give larger Repub-

One More Sinner Called to Repentance
We are in receipt of letter from far-of
Patrick county, asking us to send number
of our papers to his address. He says he
has been devoted admirer and constant
reader Of the Wing for many years, but
that the Wing has so departed from its old
and time-honored standpoint, he now de-
sres to make change, and prefers ours to
any other paper in Richmond. We are glad
the gentleman has at last come to his senses
and has exhibited such good taste and judg-
ment. We promise him and all those who
subscribe to our WEEKLY to make it all
that is desirable to an appreciative reading
public, except, perhaps, to a few old sore
head Democrats like the one who abused
the Virginia people for erecting a statue of
the immortal Clay in Capitol Square. We
can hardly expect such as he to. like it, and
to be plain, we don't care if they don't, as
such friendship is not desirable. I'D
Let the gentleman from Patrick give US a
fair hearing, and we are satisfied he willnot
be disappointed in our WEEKLY. ltrgLie

Tie Visit of the Knights TemplW.-As
previously announced by us number of
colored Knights Templar from Washington
city arrived in the city by the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, and were received and
conducted bya committee of arrangements
to comfortable quarters previously engaged
for them.
Yesterday morning the procession, COM
posed of the visiting members and others of
of the different lodges of Masons here, was
formed on Franklin street, corner of Thir-
teenth, about o'clock, when it proceeded
to the City Hall, for the purpose of calling
upon the Mayor. Finding the Mayor abb
sent, the procession attempted to enter the
Square for the purpose of marching in
body around the monument of Washington,
who was ever pronounced a devoted and
exemplary member of the fraternity. One
of the Capitol police refused admission to
them to enter the Square, at which many of
them were indignant, until they were told
their exclusion was owing to a general or
der of the Governor, prohibiting all process
sions from entering the Square. Having re-
ceived a message from the Mayor that he
was then in his office, the procession return
ed to the City Hall, when the members

and appropriate speech. From the City
Hall, they passed to Grace street to Eighth,
down Eighth to Main, down Main TO Four
teenth, and thence to Manchester, where, in
the Colored Baptist church, the presenta-
ton ceremonies were held. ~ a-n
The jewels and bible were presented in
behalf of the ladies by Professor Fuller,
and received by Past Master A. Q. Hobson
or behalf of Hobson Lodge, No. 16.
AT Metropoliton Hall last night, they ex-
hibited their skill in the Knights Iemplar's
drill, concluding the exercises by speech
upon the rise and growth of Masonry, by
Sir Knights Schuman, Halton, and others.
They left this morning for home, bearing
with them the well wishes of the many
friends whom they made during their brief
visit. TEssf Tkg1of
The men who composed the body which
visited us, although colored, bear every
mark of gentlemen. They We're, perhaps,
the finest looking set of men which has Wis
tied Richmond for years. Their conduct
and bearing irreproachable, their dress neat,
and their regalia new and expensive, show
ing proper respect for the insignia they
wore,
Altogether, they made most favorable
impression on both white and black, and
have, doubtless, left behind them an inspi-
ration to be sought by the race here to en-
ulate their good example by rendering
themselves equally good and respectable.

improvements at the Peaitentiay.-1h
new shops at the penitentiary are rapidly
approaching completion, and will greatly
assist in making that a paying institution.
They are in the shape of an 81 -" the main
building being 22s by 40, and the wing "a
by 2S, and both three stories high. In the
first story of the wing there is an engine of
sixty horsepower, which will furnish pow
er for the establishment. The first story
of the main building will be used as CO.
operating establishment, and in lieu of $50
barrels now made this shop will turn out
between 300 and 400. The second story
will be used for broom factory, &C., and
the third for shoe mandatory. The
carpenters work is done under the direc-
tod of Mr.. w. ID. Griffin, and the brick
work is superintended by Mr.. James Beas-
ley. When completed, we are informed,
that the whole establishment will furnish
room for 800 workmen, e'
A weaving room, entirely separated from
the male department, has been fitted up in
another building with fourteen looms, and
some twenty women will be put at work in
it. The others will be detailed as washers
and twenty as seamstresses. The women
heretofore have not been put at any profit
able employment. 5.ot- .s5,lti .s-

Defacing HandbiUs. The practice of de-
facing handbills stuck up around town for
public information, has become so common
that we have been asked to call the atten-
ton of the police to the matter. The other
evening we counted ten bills on one fence,
all of which were so mutilated that they
could not be read, and they had been up
but few hours. '-..
Persons who desire to advertise their
business, or any other proper matter in
this way, have perfect right to do it, and

or man either, caught in the act of tearing
or defacing these bills.
