LYNCHBURG.

An Atrocious Letter-No Negroes on Her
Jury-A New Census-iielpina the Poor
Death, &C., &c.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatcb.l
DECEMBER @, 1884.
The community Is considerably stirred
up over letter written from this place to
the Chicago Inter Ocean, which letter,
from date-line TO nom de plume, Is tissue
of the most wretched and inconceivable
falsehoOds. The letter charged, among
other things, that not Federal flag could
be seen on the occasion OF the late Demo-
cratic celebration, while Confederate flags
floated from every building; whereas the
truth OF the matter was Just the reverse.
We have long heard a great deal OF talk
about negroes not being accorded the right
Of Jury service. Yesterday in the Corpora
ton Court negro woman named Sophro-
mia Walker was tried for grand larceny.
She has no counsel. but was told by the
fudge that she had the right to strike of
four OF the iurymen, whereupon she ex-
claimed in loud voice: "Take dem mig
gers away; don't want no niggers on my
Jury" 1t is an undeniaDle fact, says Judge
Latham, that negroes are much severer on
their own race than are white jurors. The
woman was convicted and given six months
in jail.
The City Council met in regular session
last night, and among other business trans
acted was the passage OF resolution or
dering a new census OF the city's popula-
ton. There has been great suffering among
the poorer classes In this city. and in order
to relieve this distress to some extent the
Council made an appropriation. TO be used
by the Ladies' Benevolent Association in
relieving the poor outside Of the almshouse.
Mr.. Robert Nicholson, an old and honest
citizen, who came to Lynchburg from Scot.
land years ago. died yesterday evening at
the residence Of his daughter.
Granville Wood, white youth, has been
sent to Jail for four months for entering the
cloak.room at the Biggers' public school
and appromiating several overcoats be-
longing to pupils.
There were tbirty.fve deaths 10 this city
during the month OF November. White
males, Z; white females, 81; colored males,
~; colored females. IL. BEAUMONT.

"Vidette," the Richmond correspon-
dent Of the Petersburg Indez-Appeol,
writes TO that paper as follows:
"There promises TO be a rupture be-
tween the State authorities and the COM
miitee on Light touching the matter Of
lighting the Capitol Square. Hitherto the
state has paid q nominal sum for lighting
the Square, but recently the chairman OF
the Committee on Light, Mr.. W. II. Bowie,
notified the Superintendent OF Public
Grounds and Buildings that unless the reg
ular prices were paid per thousand feet for
gas consumed in lighting the lamps on the
Square he would order the gas TO be cut off
entirely from the Square, the Capitol, and
the Executive Mansion. Last night this
threat had well-nigh been executed,
as payment for gas-light on the Square
was refused. 4 he absence OF the
Governor, and the meeting OF the
Committee on Light, only prevent
ed 1t. AT the late extra session an at
tempt was made to get an appropriation
from the Legislature to pay the gas.bill, but
after being amended in the Senate so as TO
preclude payment for lamps on the Square,
the bill failed In the House. IL Is shame
for the city to insist on this thing. All OF
TIE Ddihr lt bitu tttill hPOhrNt
and none are more necessary 10 public
comfort and convenience than the Capitol
Square. Its walks are used as public
streets. and afford great convenience TO
hundreds Of business. men--more, in fact,
than all the city parks Put together. Why.
then, should any discrimination, therefore,
be made against tins Squaref Besides, had
the gas been cutoff last night, as was
threatened, the Governors family would
have been left i'm darkness, unless lamp
store could have been found open, or the
old-fasbioned candle been resorted TO. III
the gas Is cutoff the gates TO the Capito!
Square will be locked at night"
We trust that there is no danger OF any
such rupture" The MALONE organs all
over the State would raise against this
"Bourbon city" howl which would be
heard from the Atlantic to Kentucky. 1t
Is too small matter. The Capitolwalks
are parts Of our streets. But, above all,
the General Assembly Of Virginia is never
any too friendly to this city. Let us be-
ware Of making enemies Of ITS members.
The city might lose more money In one
day than the gas used in the Capitol Square
would amount to In fifty years.

Destructive Fire-Losses and Insurances
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
DECEMBER O, 1884.
The Inhabitants Of this place were startled
this morning by the cry OF FIre!" and
an alarm rung out by the bell OF st. Johns.
II was discovered that the store and resi-
dence OF Il. NJ. Smith (colored), situated on
the north side OF west Queen street on the
right OF st. Johns church, was on fire. A
southeast wind was blowing, which carried
the flames westward. Water was very
hard TO get, for although HampIon IL only
about one hundred feet away from the
water, the tide was so low that the water
could not be reached. The 1smes soon
seized upon the shops OF Ii. Fields (col-
ored), r. Watson (colored). and also upon
the store and the dwelling Of Messrs. Turn
bull Brothers. Tremendous efforts were
put forth to stay the course Of the fire.
Two small houses were torn down. The
Second (colored) Baptist church building
was In imminent danger, and was fired
once or twice on the roof by sparks, but
10y steady efforts II was saved. Meanwhile
the buildings on the other side OF the street
were In great danger. Ia fact, they caught
fire once or twice. but the hard work OF
number OF citizens saved them from de-
str,lction. The flames were nearly under
control when the home engine arrived and
got in working order.
The following Is a list OF losses, with
Insurance:
II. NJ. Smith (colored): Loss on building,
90. 100; on stock, e., 500; on furniture and
clothing, $500. Insurance: $4,000 In
Portsmouth Insurance Company on build
ing and stock; 1900 In Westchester Insu.
rance Company on furniture. Smith and
family barely escaped with their lives.
Henry Fields (colored): Loss on house
and clothing, $3.50. No insurance.
X. Watson (colored): Loss on stock and
furniture, 300. No insurance.
w. II. Mears: Loss on house, $3.50. No
insurance.
Tunbull Brothers: Loss on building,
5000; on stock. $1,000. Insurance: si00
on building in Virginia Fire and Marine.
and 81 200 on stock in the Home OF New
York.
Miss +. King: Loss on building, 5000;
no insurance.
The buildings Of G.. o. Mears were
damaged by fire and water.
The fire is generally supposed to have
been OF incendiary origin. All the cir
cumstances point to it.
Hampton has no apparatus wh,teyer to
battle with Ere, although 1t was almost
swept away ipApril last. HAMPTON.

A party Of ladies' and gentlemen OF
Washington visited this city yesterday
evening for the purpose Of inspecting the
shellabarger humane cattle-caT, which has
just been completed at the machine-shops
OF the Virginia Midland Railroad Com
pany. This car has a capacity Of sixteen
cattle, each head having separate stall and
a box for feeding. In the box Is placed an
ingenious device for watering. Under the
bed and between the tracks Is placed
large box for carrying feed one way
and for slowing away the compart-
menis, poles, and troughs, thus leaving the
interior Of the car free for freight on the
return trip. II has the endorsement Of some
OF the best roads and practical shippers In
the country. A charter organization Is con-
templated, with capital Of $500, 900, with
Hon. John s. Barbour as president. The
car Is TO be thoroughly tested on the vir-
GINA Midland road, after which 1t will be
taken 10 Washington for the inspection OF
capitalists and others interested.
