MEE4ING OF THE BRoAD-STREEr
CoMMITTEE. The executive committee of
the Broad-street association held meeting
at Monticello Hall, at eleven O'Clock this
forenoon, but owing to the absence. in con-
sequence indisposition, of Hon. james
Lyons, the chairman, no direct action with
regard to the Broad-street question was

appointed for next Wednesday night, when
the action of the committee will be
shaped in accordance with the action or

tons to the work going on. but are
nevertheless determined to continue their
Efforts to effect the absolute removal of the

the depot property and the removal of the
track in order that Broad street NAV be
made what it it susceptible of being made

! ALBERT FORTUNE AGAIN CAP
TURED.-Albert Fortune, who made his
escape from railroad train, when two
miles this side of Ashland, Tuesday morn
ing, an account of which was published in
The STATE JOURNAL, was recaptured
N Fredericksburg yesterday morning by
the police officers of that place, assisted by
Sheriff Robert Crutchfield, Mayor Berry,
and others. The Ledger of this morning
| gives the following account of the capture
Fortune had stolen horse in the neigh
borhood of where he had jumped off the
train and rode him to town and turned
him loose. Mr.. Davis, to whom the horse
belonged, tracked Fortune to town, and
from the description given of the thief the
officers knew it was Fortune. About ten
O'Clock yesterday morning the officers
mentioned surrounded the house of Sally
Fortune, on Barton street, who raised Al
bert, and officers Burlington and Gore
went in to make the search. Before thev
had time to get to the room where he was
secreted, Fortune leaped out and took to
his heels. AS he jumped some one shot at
him, but without effect. He ran across |
Barton street and jumped the fence. and !
started in the direction of Liberty street.
Officer Gore, who was foremost in the pur. |
suit from the house of Sally Fortune, shot |
Albert directly after jumping the first fence. |

head, just behind the ear, coming out some |

ANOTHER DISTRESSING AND FATAL
ACCIDENT AT THE TUNNEL.-Just be.
fore IL O'Clock last night misunderstanding
and fatal accident occurred at the Church
Hill tunnel, one man being killed instantly.
and another one so horribly mutilated that
death must speedily come to relieve him of
his sufferings.
The accident occurred in the connecting
tunnel leading from shaft No. 81. corner
Broad and Twenty-sixth streets, to the
main tunnel. Preparations had been made
to blast away large body of earth, and
the order had been given for all the work.
men to retire to safe distance; but be-
fore the match was applied, the whole mass
fell of its own weight. A young white
man named Xenophilus Frazier and a
.colored man named William Coins were
unfortunately caught by the falling earth.
the former being instantly killed and the
latter so horribly crushed that he is not ex-
pected to survive-both legs, and his left
arm being broken. ~. .,
Frazier was 81 or % years of age, and
was from Goochland county, whittier his
remains We're taken to-day. He was un-
fortunately little deaf, and it is supposed
he did not hear the order to retire. Cozins.
the colored man, belongs in Richmond, and
is about fifty years of age.
Another account of the accident is that
the unfortunate men were caught under
body of earth which fell from above after
the blast had been made and which had
probably been loosened by the shock.
Cozlns,sWas carried to his home. We are
informed that prominent Church Hill
refused to attend him unless
SOM esponsible party would become
suretNfor the pay. DR.. B. G.. McPhail
was then summoned and rendered the
wounded man prompt and kind attention.
