more technical and scientific education and
less education in the humanities.

bic Members, SC, &C.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
Board Of Directors of the Chamber Of
Commerce was held yesterday evening.
Present; r. E. Blankenship. president,
and Messrs. Robert ). Bosher. X. A.
Dunlop John $. Elicit. +. o. Noting,
o. /. Cottrell. and Robert F. Williams.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Branch sent an excuse
for his absence.
The vacancy in the office Of the sec
ond yice-president, caused by the death
Of Peter W. Grubbs, Esq. was passed
by to be filled at the annual meeting in
June.
The effect on Richmond business Of
the recent sale or transfer of a con-
trolling interest in the fredericksburg
railroad was discussed informally. The
information in possession Of members of
the Board was very meagre ; but no one
present seemed to think that the city
would he hurt by the change.
On motion of Mr.. Potts. President
Blankenship was authorized to appoint
two delegates to represent this Cham
ber in the National Convention at At
lanta.
Cooperative measures taken by the
Chamber and the Dispatch have re-
suited in securing from General Hazen
daily indications Of the weather - for
Richmond and vicinity" much to the
qualification Of our people. The secre-
tary was directed to continue the corre-
sponGence further with the view OF
securing a more exact report for South
ern Virginia and Northern North Caro-
lima. which country comprises great
portion of the tobaccO-belt Of this
region.
The Board declared that the follow
ing five members, having served two
successive terms on the Board. were
by the Constitution ineligible for re-
election at the annual meeting in June
viz. NeSsrs. +. o. Noting. K. A.
Dunlop, c. NJ. Branch, George P. Sta
cy. and Charles d. Hill.
The Constitution says that eight must
retire annually, and to make up that
number the following three additional
members were chosen by lot and will
be. like the five, ineligible for reelection :
Messrs. George A. Ainslie. Robert W.
Powers. and George Il. Cannon.
Mr.. J. II. Witty, Richmond agent
Of Bradstreet. was elected a member of

The Mozart Last Night.

The second musicale held by the
Mozart Association in Sanger Hall was
given last night. The solo features OF
the evening were by Miss Lizzie Fletch-
er, a pleasing soprano Of Norfolk, Va,
and Mr.. II. L. Farmer, our Richmond
fiutist. Miss Fletcher sings with taste
and expression, and was the recipient
of fattering eneorsS upon the rendition
of each of her numbers.
Mr.. Farmers flute solo, by Bcehm,
with orchestra accompaniment, was a
pleasing performance. His tone is ex-
tremely sweet and his execution very
fine. The string quintette, " Sounds
from Home" was well rendered. The
orchestra numbers were acceptably
well rendered. The forte passages by
the brass should, however, be subdued
to suit the size of the hall.

on the clothes, he said he couldn't say
for certain, as be couldn't read. He
said there were pair Of shoes. dress,
and pair Of red gloves in the bag.
The gloves were country gloves, with
only thumb on them.
Counsel for defence excepted to all
this evidence. and the Court caused the
exception to be noted.
At O'Clock the court adjourned
until 10 o'clock A. NJ. to-day.
The Pictures.
Our cuts. though not near as good
looking as the two gentlemen, repre-
sent ex-Judge W. W. Crump. the lead
ing counsel for accused, and Charles V.
Meredith, ESQ.,, who, with Colonel W.
r. Aylett. appears for the Common
wealth Of Virginia in the trial Of this
case. For more than thirty years
Judge Crump has been one of the fore
most members Of the Richmond bar.
His success has been very great in
criminal trials; but his undoubted title
10 emlnence by no means rests alone on
that class Of cases. As a matter Of
fact, some Of his greatest achievements
have been in the other lines OF his pro-
fession. Judge Crump is above the me-
dium height, and has gray hair and
beard.
Mr.. Charles V. Meredith. who has
been at the bar about ten or twelve
years. is a son ofthe late ex-Judge John
A. Meredith. and upon the resignation
Of Mr.. Kelley recently from the Office
Of City Attorney, was elected to fill
that vacancy. Among the younger
members of the bar here he occupies a
high place. lie is noted for Studious
habits. for careful preparation Of his
cases. and for courageous expression Of
his convictions. He is conducting his
case very well. and it is expected that
this trial will largely add to the repu-
tatiOn which he has been steadily en-
larging since he came to the bar.

March l4th. Saw the body on the en-
bankment. The tracks were shown
him leading from the hole in the fence
TO the embankment. One seemed to be
the track Of man; one Of a woman.
The tracks led from the hole in the fence
to the waste-pipe, but were lost to sight
on the turf. On the embankment |
only saw the track Of a man. The
track Of the man was generally about
twelve inches from that Of the woman.
The woman's tracks were nearest the
ditch.
Judge Crump You were there at ii
O'Clock?
Yes, sir. The last woman's track
was near the waste-pipe at the base OF
the embankment. The whole impress
sion was that Of fat and broad shoe.

c.ms-<ecre 20 3.


A crowd of over two thousand per-
sons, including an unusually large num-
Der Of ladies', witnessed the second OF
the games between the Nationals ana
the yirginias Yesterday afternoon. The
weather was Just cool enough to make
it pleasant for the spectators, and then
there was no dust. For playing there
has not been better evening this sea-
son, and the boys made good use OF IT
and played game well worth the time
spent by any one who witnessed II.
The visitors took the field and put
Gagus in the box with Baker to hold
him, while Pyle and Householder filed
like positions for the home nine. House
holder is not in the habit Of catching
for Pyle, but had TO do so on account
of Corcoran being sick. lie did his
work well. however. He had one
passed ball, but made some fine throws,
which in a measure atoned for it. de
also made a two-bagger at such time
when two men were out as to bring in
two runs, for which he was literally
applauded.
Up to the fourth inning the work was
lust with the batteries. At this point,
however. the yirginias began to bat
Gagus, and afterwards hit him quite
freely. On the contrary. Pyle held up
well, and pitched better than he has
done before this season, allowing only
two hits to be made off Of him. During
the first five innings things looked very
dark for the visitors, the prospect OF
their being shut out being very good.
In the sixth and ninth, however, they
did better work, and succeeded in
scoring altogether three runs.
Higgins, Johnston, and Knowles
each made three baSe-hits at very op-
perfume times. for which they received
liberal applause. Johnston and Tate
each did good work in the field. Green
wood seemed rather " Of" though he
made some very pretty plays. The
score tells the rest

about P. NJ. yesterday at bis home,
