A Movement 20 Carry Out the Parry Plat.
form Statistics.
Mr.. Ellyson presented the following
to the Senate yesterday, and made a
brief speech urging that the proposed
action, to which both parties are COM
mitted, be taken at an early day:
Whereas both the Democratic and
Republican parties Of Virginia have in
the platforms adopted in their recent
State conventions declared that public
policy requires that convict labor
should not be brought in competition
with free labor, and that such competi-
tion is unjust and humiliating and
whereas the present custom of hiring
out conyicts for the manufacture Of
shoes, barrels, tobacco, and other arti-
cles is in direct conflict with the above
declarations therefore,
ResOtred, /, Thatit is the sense of this
body that the present system Of hiring
out convicts to the manufacturers of
goods should be abolished.
ReSO(red, =, That the Committee on
Public Institutions and Education be
requested to submit a plan by which
the convicts may be utilized in in
proving our county roads, or in such
other way as the committee may deem
best.
The resolution was referred TO the
Committee on Public Institutions.
In response to a resolution proposed
by Mr.. Lovenstein the following paper
was laid before the Senate yesterday
and ordered to be printed:
Report OF the Superintendent OF the vir.
ginia PeDitentiary to the resolution OF the

Imnnrfnnt RniIroad Cases.

Two important and interesting cases
are now pending in the City Circuit
Court. They are Robertson and Buck
ner'S administrators against the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company for
$4,000 damages each. Plaintiffs.
who were citizens Of Louisa county,
Va. were killed on the Chesapeake and
Ohio road in Kentucky. Administra-
tors were appointed in Virginia, who
brought suit in Richmond. The queS-
ton now being argued is whether or not
a right of action which arose under a
kentucky statute may be enforced in
the courts Of Virginia. The counsel in
the case are George X. Anderson,
Frank V. Winston, Jackson Guy, and
e. O. James for plaintiff, and Wick
ham and Robertson for defendant. The
argument in the case will probably con-
sumo several days.

= Large Tobacco Factory ut Horse
Pasture Burned.


Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
SPENCER, VA, December 1.-The
large tobacco factory at Horse Pasture,
this county, lately occupied by Mr.. John
Ii. Schoolfeld, but now owned by Mr..
Thomas Lee, of Danville, was burned
last night under very suspicious circum-
stances. Some time ago this property,
together with a large three-story store
house. handsome dwelling. and many
splendid out-houses were sold to Mr..
Lee. There was an unsuccessful at
tempt made few nights ago to burn
this property. 1t is alleged that ne
gro came up from Danyille, bought two
bottles Of kerosene oil and box Of
matches at country store, and that
night the unsuccessful attempt to burn
was made, the oil and matches being
used. The following day the same ne
gro went to the same store and bought
the same articles as before. A watch
was instituted. but several days having
elapsed the watch was removed and the
result is the burning. The insurance
will more than cover the loss.

THE COMING sAENGERFEsT:

The AIhambra Palace Rink Engaged for
the Concert.
The great Saengerfest which is to be held
in this city on the 10th, 2lst and I'D OF
July is rapidly assuming shape aad' prom
ises TO be an immense affair. The last
event of the kind in this vicinity was the
Saengerfest held in this city in the summer
Of 1860, twenty-five years ago. The
civil war and other causes prevented
recurrence OF the great gathering OF
vocalists and musicians generally, and not
until last winter were any steps taken to
once more gather the various organizations
scattered along the upper Ohio Valley to-
gether under one roof for few days con-
certed action.
The committee from our local societies
have been working hard for several months
past, making the preparations necessary for
the reception and entertainment OF the large
number Of visitors expected and arrang-
ing the preliminaries for the concerts,
parade and picnic, and We are
glad to announce that the greater part OF
this work has been accomplished. lester.
day negotiations for the occupancy OF the
ALEXANDRIA Palace Rink during the contin.
ance of the Saengerfest were com pleted and
the rink will be turned into vast concert
hall for the occasion. The Opera House
orchestra, reinforced by local and out-of
town musicians to the total number OF
thirtyo pieces, is also being negotiated
for and will probably be engaged in day or
two. The soloists for the concerts are: Miss
Dora Henninges, Of Cleveland, who has
achieved great success in concert and Mr..
c. Kausche, tenor, of Baltimore.
The programme Of exercises has not been
definitely arranged, but will probably be as
follows:
Neutrality-suspicious. in the afternoon, at
which addresses of welcome will be deliv-
cred by Mayor Grub in English, and by
Rev. Ulfert in Germsn, to be followed in
the evening by concert by the local sing
ing societies. closing with chorus Of one
hundred female and one hundred and fifty
male voices.
Tuesday-Matinee, at which the lead
ing features will be songs and choruses
by the visiting societies. Evening, grand
coucert, participated in by all the organiza'
tons present, the orchestra and the visiting
artists, closing with grand chorus by four
hundred voices.
Wedhesday-Grand parade in the morn
ing, participated in by all the singing socie-
ties, all local and neighborhood German
and English organizations of whatever de-
scription, the fire department, city officials
and others. In the afternoon and evening
grand picnic will be given at the New Fair
Grounds.
On Thursday delegates from all the city
and visiting organizations will meet and ar
range for the formation of a permanent
Saengerbund.
Letters from singing societies expecting
to take part, show that large percentage
of the total membership of out-oftown or
CARNATIONS will be present. A guarantee
fund is now being gotten up here over
81 900 being already secured.
