opened in the United States" The same
paper states that Bruce is only forty-three
years of age. If the statement as to age Is
correct, there were colored schools in the

NATIONAL CONVENTION AS

Why should sensible men clamor for
conventions, and give absurd reasons for
holding them. unless it he either to place
the Negro in il ridiculous position, or grind
somebody's political axe, or give quasi
leaders a chance to sell out their race again:
The convention may be held and the terms
OF the bargain may already be made and
the goods sold. but the xt Hepublican
Convention will show some Slight difficulty
in the delivery o: the goods.
In behalf of the people of the west, il
Prof. Graencr is right those weuld-5e lords
who has either selling our rights or grind
ing their political axe in view. had better
be sick when the convention convcncs, or
shape up better and different objects, as
we in the west are fully alive to the inter-
ests Of our constituents and will join no
combination to thwart their will.
The reception committee of the local
press of ST. Louis, who j. Milton Turner
says collected $500, and only let go $500
per day or 30 90 for the rent of the hall,
consisted of Messrs. w. j. Anderson Of the
Truth. chairman; j. w. Wilson of the Tri-
bune; Prof. z. II. Murray of the Advance,
and w. II. Curtis, treasurer; but the stran-
gest part about it is, while Mr.. Turner
charges them with collecting $500 for the
benefit of the association, the treasurer
swears that he never has received cent.
There is screw loose somewhere, but we
have too high an opinion Of Prof. Murray
and j. w. Wilson to believe they would be
connected with nything fraudulent. We
think, per adventure, the committee did

people with giving undoubtedly the finest
circus entertainment ever given in the city.
To begin with. they command admiration

there was notable lack OF the usual show OF
ruffianism and low circus characters. Not an
offensive word was uttered in the ring, and
the management are to be congratulated that

Mr.. EditOr,-It has come to the know
ledge OF this company in a way which is
regarded us authoritative that the two ap-
plications for the Use Of the Richmond fire.
alarm telegraph poles, now before the City
Council, have assumed political phase.
The Southern Telegraph Company desires
to correct any such impression.
The first question to be considered is SIM
ply, Shall the city OF Richmond receive $50
per annum for the use OF its tire-alarm TEL
egraph poles, As proposed by the Southern
Telegraph Company, or shall it receive
nothing, as proposed by the Bell Telephone
Company, which is simply the Western
Union Telegraph Company. To state 1t in
stronger terms, Is Richmond ready to fos-
ter monopoly to the exclusion OF a conn.,
peting telegraph company!
These are points OF issue which cannot
be escaped by those who legislate for the
city, and right here the Southern Telegraph
Company proposes to rest ITS case.
Now as to the political phase which some
are disposed to force into the issue the
Southern Telegraph Company has only to
say that il is not political association; (;
that its stock and bonds are owned alike
by men OF both parties that it is intiinsi-
cally a southern institution; that it pro-
poses to be permanent and competing
line to all monopolies. and to serve the in
terests OF the business and commercial pub
lie Of Richmond and the South.
THIS company insists that il the legisla-
tive authority of the city Of Richmond does
not accept its proposition, it will at least
grant it equal privileges with any other
company. JOSEPH w. KATEs,
Superintendent Southern Telegraph Com

Barbar. miIIer Sentenced to be Hung.

The trial OF Barbara Miller, charged with
the murder OF her husband, Daniel Miller,
was concluded in the Henric0 County
Court before Judge Newman yesterday.
After the argument was over the Jury re-
tired, and in n few minutes brought in q
verdict OF guilty on the second count In
the Indictment, which charged Barbara
with being an accessory before the fact.
During the closing scenes OF the trial the
prisoner maintained stoical demeanor,
and did not evince perturbation when the
decision Of the Jury was made known.
The usual question being put to the
prisoner II she had anything to say why
the Court should not now proceed TO pro-
nounce sentence against her according to
law, the prisoner said, Yes, sir, have"
and proceeded as follows:
II wish every one present to hear what
I have got to say. You have judged me
wrongfully. hope that when you come
to die God will give you peace and crown
your soul to Him. Ny sister Jane Winston
and my child have come here and swore
away my life. Ny child and my sisters
and Mrs. Menser have all sworn to lies
about me. ] thank you, Judge. You can
do with me as you please. You can de-

soul. l am satisfied. IL l am hung shall
soon be IN Heaven with my husband"
f. The prisoner requested that her mother
be allowed to keep her children.
The sentence was then passed as fol-
lows:
"A virtuous wife and seli-denying
mother Is above all price; but where a
woman falls from that pure estate. she is
often drawn into excesses which are re-
voting to every sense OF decency and 10
the laws Of God and man.
"Of this last and worst class the jury In
their verdict places you, aud in pursuance
of that verdict it becomes my sad duty to
pronounce the extreme penalty Of the law
against you.
"The sentence OF this court Is that the
sheriff do, on the 18th day Of September
next, take you to the place Of execution in
the iail-yard Of this county, and then and
there, between the hours OF sunrise and
sunset Of that day, hang you by the neck
until dead.
"And may God have mercy on your
SOUL"
A motion to set aside the verdict was
overruled by the Court.
Her counsel then asked that the prisoner
be allowed to make a statement. This re-
quest was granted, and the condemned
woman begged that her child be permitted
to stay with her until the day Of execution.
To this the Court made answer that she
should see her child whenever she desired.
Barbara also asked that her child, after her
death, be placed in charge OF her mother.
Barbara was remanded to her cell.

yIRGINIAS vs.. RICHMONDS.


The first game between these clubs was
played at the Virginia Baseball Park yes
terday afternoon, and was witnessed by
about 1000 people. The Virginias led of
at the bat, scoring l run, the Rlchmonds
being BANKED. Up to the fourth innings
the score stood to 0. The Virginias came
to the bat in the fifth inning, and knocked
Boschen all over the field, scoring runs,
the Richmonds being again BANKED. On
the sixth the Virginias were BANKED and
the Richmonds scored run. In the sew
enth the Virginias did some more hard hit
ting, scoring runs, RichmOnds BANKED.
On the eighth the Virginias scored 1 run,
Richmonds again blanked. In the ninth
inning both were blanked.
There was some fine playing by both
clubs, the RIchmOnds making three double
plays. The latter Club did very good work,

Riverside Park.

The Richmond and Allegheny Railroad
Company are actively at work improving
Riverside Park-the slip OF wooded ground
between the canal and river at the Three
Mile locks-and will remove the under.
growth, lay out paths. put up benches and
rustic seats, connect some of the little is
lands with the shore by bridges, erect a
dancing pavilion 40x60, a refreshment-
stand and reception-room at the switch
Or turnout.
They will also put up bowling-alley
and swings. The park will be open three
times week, and on each occasion there
will be band OF music on hand. The
work will be completed by Thursday.
Trains will be run from this city hourly
on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday eve-
nings.
Riverside Park, then the property Of DR..
Crenshaw, received Its name about the year
1872, when q number Of newspaper-men
and others unsuccessfully ventured their
small earnings in the establishment OF q
line OF pleasuro-boats on the canal, to run
between the city and the Three-Mile locks.
This piece OF ground was at that day fitted
up as park, and was for some time re-
sort Of considerable popularity.
1t can be made first-rate pleasure
ground by connecting it by convenient
fsotbridge with the new pump-bouse, and
by the expenditure OF money in sufficient
sums to add to its natural attractions.
Unlike many other picnic places, this Is
destined to permanency; for the pump
house grounds and new Reservoir Park
will be beautified from year to year. and
the time will come when, in pursuance
Of the plan suggested by the president Of
the Common Council, the city will bridge
the river at this point and enlarge its park
by the purchase Of u thousand or more
acres of the land ito be had very cheap on
the Chesterfield shore. In this prospect
Riverside Park would seem to he worthy
Of permanent improvement by buildings
that will please the eye and be located be-
yond danger Of ordinary floods. 1t is to
be hoped that the gentlemen conducting
present improvements will take hold Of
this view.

Tho New City Hall.

The Council Committee on Grounds and
Buildings have decided that the new City
Hall shall be four-story building; that it
shall contain all the city Offices and courts !;
that the offices most visited by the public
shall be on the ground floor; that it shall
be fire-proof throughout, and the exterior
be OF granite. Plans will be advertised
for, and must be in by October 1st.
In all OF this the public will, with great
unanimity, concur; not so as to their de-
termination to stick to the old City-IIall lot
and Dr. Tuppers lot as the site. About
that there are two opinions-one inclining
strongly TO the view that the hall should be
put on the old Swan-Tavern lot; that is to
say, the half square on the north side Of
Broad, with a frontage from Eighth to
Ninth streets.
That is the site preferred by Colonel
Cutshaw and many others whose opinions
should have great weight; but the Coun-
ell have twice decided in favor OF the old
site. Some gentlemen who really prefer
the Swan-Tavern site have given in their
adhesion to the present plan. fearing that
the reopening Of the question might post
pone the erection Of the building.
