MATTERS At THE CITY JAIL.

william x. Smith vIsited bY His Brother
a frisoner Preteuds that Tie VIII Commit
sufcIde.
MIR. William R. Smith, found guilty
Of stealing money from the State while
a clerk in the Auditors office, has for
weeks been suffering severely, and his
health has been so bad that the physl-
clan at the Jail declared that to bring
him to court would endanger his life.
Under these circumstances his case has
been passed by. lie sleeps but little
and his nerves are completely shattered.
His condition excited the alarm Of
friends, and no doubt reached the ears
Of bis brother, who resides in West
Virginia.
Yesterday the brother reached Rich
mord and visited Mr.. Smith at the
Jail. The meeting was very affecting.
The prisoner wept bitterly. and his
brother showed the strongest SYM mpathy
and feeling for the unfortunate man.
The brothers had a long talk about
boyhood days and the old plantation
upon which they were raised, and the
prisoner was delighted to receive a
number OF apples that came from the
trees he used to play under when he
was but a boy. The visit did the
prisoner a great deal Of good, and yes
terday his condition was better than for
some time past.
Night before last Max Spier tried to
make Jailer Kerse believe that he had
committed suicide. lie wrote the fol-
lowing letter:
Dear Sir,-Is liberty so dear or
peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the cost Of lives? Forbid it, Almighty
God | know not what cause others
may take, but as for me Give me
liberty or give me death. As | can't
get the first | shall have to take the
latter.
sit is the only way see to get out
Of my troubles. From day to day,
slowly but surely, my mind is leaving
me, and | know that if stay in jail
much longer reason will leave me and |
shall 60 mad To avoid this rather
take my life. leave this world with
out ill-ieeling towards any one.
u know | have done wrong, but |
have repented, and know my God has
forgiven me. Give my body to Mr..
fireman. Tell him to give me a decent
buI.al.
- have only few minutes more to
live. 1t is hard to die so young, but
such is fate
The letter closed with poetic quota
tion and the announcement that he
hoped God would "raise " him up.
When Jailer Kerse got the letter he
FASTENED to Spier's cell, and found him
self sold. Spier was standing up by
the wall. One end of No. 40 spool
Of cotton sewiDg-thread was tied around
his neck in the shape of hangman's
moose; the other end Of the thread was
attached to a tooth-pick, which was
loosely driven into a creyice in the wall.
Spier pretended all the time that he
was attempting suicide. lie is the same
man that fooled the old Salvation Army
woman by passing himself of for Gu
yerius.

THE INACGUR1TI0N.
Proposed Ceremonies When the Governor
Goes Into Office INAUGURATION Bail.

Proposed Ceremonies When the Governor
Goes Into Office Inauguration Bail.
Colonel John B. Cary. as chairman
of the City Democratic Committee, on
yesterday wrote to Goyernor-elect Lee,
conveying to him the committees eX-
preston of desire to have inaugural
ceremonies on the lst of January, when
the General enters upon his duty as
chief magistrate Of this Common
wealth.
When Governor Holiday was inau-
gurated the military of this city and
several companies from other parts Of
the State escorted him to the Capitol,
and from the portico Of that building
be read his inaugural to a large
number of legislators and other peo-
lie assembled about him and on the
Square butusually the Governor takes
the oath Of office quietly and without
any ado enters upon his duties. On
this present occ aston the demand for
ceremonious and stately Inauguration
is very general, both on the part of the
people of this city and State. What
ever objections, if any, may be raised
in this direction, there can hardly be
one to an Inauguration ball. The City
Committee might get the ArmOry and
secure a decorator and have it put in
elegant order for this purpose, and peO-
pie would come here from all parts of
the State to attend the ball.
Until General Lee has been heard
from nothing will be done; but if he
allows the City Committee to proceed
as they wish, the subcommittee here
tofore appointed will be enlarged by the
addition of a considerable number of
gentlemen from the public generally, so
that all the people will have voice in
the arrangements.
