The Competitive Drill - Suggestive
Political Talk Of Virginia Bour-
bons.
RICHMOND, VA, Oct. A.--At the state
fair to-day the principal topic of CONVEX
sation was the competitive drill yesterday
for tho 81 900 pri 20. The members OF tho
Richmond Greys, tho company that won
the second prize of $500, appear to be as
thoroughly aroused over the result as
were tho soldiers from washington
Many of the Greys do not hesitate to de-
clare that tho famous programme OF NIFTY
one numbers was simply put-up job to
secure to the Walker Light Guards the
prize that they never could have won in
drill whore soldierly efficiency aud an
accurate execution Of tho maneuverS
formed the basis Of the award.
The displays at the state fair are very
complete in every department. The art
gallery and machinery exhibits arc lar
beyond the exhibitions Of previous years,
but the exhibits of live stock are smaller,
and there is a notable scarcity oil fancy
bred horned cattle and sheep.
The entries of horses have been fully
up to the average, and the trials Of speed
have developed the fact that many of the
stock farmers Of Virginia are steadily
improving tho strains Of their breeding
| farms.
The fair has brought to Richmond
crowds of people from all parts of the
state, aud the democratic managers are
utilizing tho occasion to arrange matters
for the approaching presidential election.
Tho state democratic central executive
committee has held several meetings here
within the past few days, and according
to the language of one Of the members Of
this committee 10 has been decided to
meet tho republicans and readjuster Co
alition In the state with an aggressively
active campaign during the few days now
intervening before the election"
1t Is known that secret instructions
have been issued to the local democratic
county committees throughout the state,
and unless the fact Of q democratic vic
tory can be made clearly certain from the
canvass that 10 now being made all over
the state, IL may be expected that "aggres-
sively active steps will be taken before
the last day Of October to convince the
colored voter in Virginia that 1t will not
be safe for him to put in an appearance al
the polls on election day. There is an
ominous tone in the language Of certain
leading spirits Of the democratic party
here, and the way in which they depre
cate the possibility of q collision between
the whites and the damn niggers," a
two or three points in the state, is sug
gestive of some sinister scheme to provoke
the very trouble they profess to be &c
anxious to avoid. Leading readjusteri
and republicans say that If they cal
secure a full vote and fair count Vir
ginia can be transferred to the doubtful
column, with good prospects of carrying
the state for Blaine and Logan. But the.
admit that the policy inaugurated at Dan
vile is likely to crop out again, an'
should it do so that it will keep ava
! from the polls thousands of timid re
publicans, and thus maintain the advau
tages secured by the democrats at the las
state election over Gen. Malone.

A LUNATIC,s HORRIBLE DEATH.
Confined Like q Beast in Pen He II
Roasted Alive.

Frank Bull, wealthy idiot. whose case
had been investigated by the Pennsylva-
MIA lunacy commission, was burned to
death on Friday last By the farm house
and the pen in which he was confined
taking fire. The farm is about seven
miles from the village Of North East, in
Eric county, Pennsylvanis. At the time
Of tho fire letter was in the village post
Office directed to Volney Bull, the brother
of tho idiot. giving instructions, which,
If carried out, would have averted the
terrible accident and saved his own life,
as he will probably dio from the burns
received in attempting to rescue his
brother. The letter referred to was sent
by DR.. James Ourt, secretary of tho state
luuacy commission. 1t informed Mr..
Bull that If he did not at once remove his
brother Frank to a hospital for the in
sane, or tho training school at Media. he
would be Immediately prosecuted. The
letter failed of its mission, owing to tho
great distance from the village postoflice
to the farm. The family only send for
their mail about once week.
The Bull case was one Of number re-
ported to the commission of lunacy, and
was investigated by Secretary Ourt on
Sept. 80 last. The Bulls lived in the viii
lage of North East when the case was re-
ported, but upon the arrival of the secre-
tary at that place, he found they had
moved to the farm. Their farm house
was of frame and two stories in height.
1t contained but few rooms, and, as Bull
was married man with seven children,
tho bed chambers were all occupied. In
order to accommodate the idiotic brother
| It was found necessary to erect quarters
for him. A lot of lumber was secured
aud o sort Of cow-pen was attached to the
house. The floor boards were merely
laid down and not nailed. The furniture
consisted of rude bed and few cover
ings.
Bull was informed that his brother
must be taken to an asylum or some bet
ter provision made for him, but replied
that clause in his fathers will required
him to take care of him. A few weeks
later DR.. Ourt sent to DR.. Putnam, o.
North East, to learn whether his instruc
tions had been carried out. and ascer-
tanned that Frank had been removed tc
New York and secreted. Volney wa
informed that his brother would be taker
anywhere in the United States, ant
when this was made known Frank wa
brought back. He arrived home on Fri
day last, and the Same night the hous
burned down and he was killed. Hi
brother attempted to rescue him, and b.
was badly burned in the attempt. Th
deceased idiot was worth at least $50, 900
and his brother had an equal amount o

Annual Report OF the superintendent
Excellent Condition OF the School.
The annual report of Mr.. James E.
Fitch. the president of the board OF trus-
tees of the reform school, has been sub
mitted to the attorney general and the
district commissioners, and 1t shows a
very satisfactory condition of the insti-
tuition.
During the year no deaths have oc-
,urred, and at its close there were twenty
Two boys more than at the same time the
previous year. The health of the school
at the date of the report was perfect.
Appeal 10 made in the report for
another family building to accommodate
the increased number Of inmates, and also
for chapel structure. These would
enable the school at very little in
crease of expense to increase the
number Of inmates, some Of whom,
for lack Of room, are sent to the district
Jail for short terms, q most injurious and
hardening experience for any youth.
The number of inmates since the OPEN
ing of the school has reached 982. Many
of those discharged with honor have
reached manhood and are filling positions
of trust and profit. Letters received occa-
sionally from those at a distance express
an affection for the school and gratitude
for the benefit there received that is very
gratifying to the trustees and officers of
the school.
At the last meeting Of the board of
trustees the following was read from o

PARIS, TEXAS. Oct. 24.-The court yes
terday heard applications for eleven in
functions against the Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph company, brought in the name
of farmers and landowners along the
Texas and Pacific railroad through this
country, to restrain the Baltimore COM
pany from erecting its telegraph line
along the right of way of that road. The
land owners claimed that the condemna-
ton of their land for railroad purposes
still left them entitled to damages, now
that it was proposed to condemn the
land for telegraph purposes. The court
refused all these applications on tho
ground that, while the damage to the
plaintiff, if any. was trifling, the damage
to the telegraph company would, by
stopping the work, be irreparable.
