Richmond last Thursday, the old directory,

President C. P. Huntington, in his report,
says that while the gross earnings of the
road for 1885 were less than those of 1884,
there was an increase in the train-mileage
of 707 per cent, and Off. IA per cent. in the
number of tons Of freight carried.
The net revenue of the road for 1885 was
So, $50, 5000, as against So, 1928, 1858 40 for
1884. In the passenger traffic the changes,
Mr.. Huntington says, have been nearly as
marked. In the number of passengers car
ried loss of IA 20 per cent. is shown against
1888. The outlook for 1886 is encouraging,
and the indications point to an improvement
in the local traffic. The rates are about the
same as those furnished in 1885. There has
been a steady coal traffic, it having grown
from 2S7, 40 tons carried in 1878, to 9,029,
$50 tons in 1885. The deliveries of coal at
Newport News in 1885 show an increase of

Death of Prominent Railroad Engineer Of
former years.

Charles Fenton Mercer Garnett, a grand
son of General Mercer whose name he bore,
was native of Essex county. He graduated
at the University of Virginia, and when
young, about forty five years ago, entered
the service of Georgia as an Engineer in the
construction of her railroad system. The
place which the city of Atlanta now occupies
was then forest, and was selected by him
as central point of railroad connection.
Virginia embarking shortly after in rail
road progress, he was selected in 184S as
Chief Engineer of the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad, the line from Lynchburg to
Bristol, now part of the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad. After its completion about
1857, Dom Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil,
invited him to his Capital for the purpose
of inaugurating system of railroads in the
Empire, taking with him Andrew Ellison,
of Boston, who had been his first assistant
in Virginia. The first railroads in that
country were built under their supervision
Through his fundamentally, Robert Har-
vey, of Virginia, and other contractors and
representatives of various enterprises in the
progress of the times, went to Brazil, where
they generally succeeded well.
After completing his engagements with
the Emperor, he returned to Virginia short
~ before the war, and made his home in
Hanover county. He did not engage active
y afterwards in his profession, though oc
,asionally he was called upon as consult
ing engineer. His associations were ex-
tensive and many of his days in the latter
years of his life were spent in the society of
his attached friend, the late Alexander
Moseley, editor of the Wing, whom he new
or failed to visit when in Richmond. Col
onel Garnet was noble man aud loved his
State and her people. He had broad views.
a kind nature, and generous in all things.
A few years since he removed to Norfolk
where he died in the early part of the pres
snt month. He was COMMUNICATE of the
Episcopal church, and leaves history and
a name which his .countrymen may we'll
emulate.

DIR. HOLINESS INTEREST IN BIRDs.-Dr
Oliver Wendell Holmes takes deep inter
est in the movement to protect birds from
slaughter: 81 am myself he says, "more
than tolerant Of the somewhat intrusive in
timacy ofthe English sparrow. No other
birds outside of the barn-yard let me come
so near them-not even the pigeons. But
still more am I indebted to the gnlls and
ducks, who during a large part of the year
are daily visitors to the estuary of the
Charles onwhich look from my library win
dows. wish they could be protected by
aw, and if law cannot or will not do it, that
public opinion would come between them
and their murderers. No less, certainly,
do feel the shame of the wanton destruct-
ion Of our singing birds to feed the demands
of barbaric vanity.''

THE LIQUOR DEALERS PROTECTIVE AS
socIATIoN.-The following are copies Of
resolutions adopted at the meeting of the
Liquor-D Dealers Protective Association OIL
Richmond last Thursday:
1. Whereas the unsettled condition of the
public debt of Virginia, occasiOned by the
recent decisions of the Federal courts, to-
gether with the hostile and uncompromis-
ing attitude of the foreign bondholders, are
fruitful subjects of apprehension to all who
are friendly to the future material develop
ment and prosperity of our State; therefore
Resolred by the Liquor Dealers Protectire
Association of Richmond, That we will paw
our license and other taxes in money, and
we hereby invite all the dealers in the State
to unite with us in this resolve.
Resolved, That in purchasing goods from
parties doing business outside of the State
that preference be given those who paw
their license tax in money.
2. ResolUed by the Liquor Dealers Pro-
tectire Association of Richmond, That we
recommend members of our Association to
hereafter buy only Union-made cigars, Civ
ing preference, whenever terms are equal,
to home work.

DOUBLE MURDER IN ROANOKE COUNTY.
A horrible double murder was committed
on Back creek in Roanoake county Wed
nesday night. A man by the name OF Ben
jamin Griffith, who has wife living on
Back creek, has just returned from Texas,
where, it is alleged, he served term in the
penitentiary. His wife refused to recog-
nize him, and learning that John and Pick
EFT Metz, sons of Mr.. William Metz, had
been visiting his wife in his absence, Crit
fifth went to their home, called one of the
young men out, and shot him through the
heart.
Griffith was arrested in Franklin county
on Thursday and is now in Jail at Salem,
Roanoke county. John Metz, who was
shot about the same time by Mr.. Adkins,
is still alive and is likely to recover. 1t is
claimed that he was shot through mistake
by Adkins, the latter installing Metz for
Griffith. On the night of the shooting Crit
fifth sprained his ankle and was unable to
make his escape. He was heavily armed
and showed fight when first discovered. He
is considered a very desperate man. He
has Just served term in Texas peniten-
tiary. It'll thought Griffith went to Metz's
house to kill his wife, a sister of Adkins,
who had refused to live with him. The
Metz boys were highly respected, and great
indignation is expressed by all who have
heard of the sad tragedy. Griffith is ma
tive of Franklin county, and is of good
family.

Battle in q COURTROOM.
PARTICULARS OF THE AFFRAY IN wINONA,
MIss.-TEN NEGROES KILLED.

New ORLEANS, March 18.-A special
from Winona, Miss, to the Times Democrat
gives particulars of the circumstances lead
ing to the tragedy enacted at CarrolitOn,
Miss, yesterday, and of the tragedy itself.
The trouble began some months ago in a
trifiing alteration between young white
man named Moore and colored man
named Brown. J. M. Liddell, friend of
Moore's, afterwards got into difficulty with
Brown through reference to Browns treat
ment of Moore, in which Liddell struck
Brown with his fists and was shot in the
elbow by Brown and was fired at by several
other colored men. In the further course
of this difficulty Liddell was shot second
time and two colored men were shot slight
ly. Following this the negroes made aft
davits against Liddell and others, charging
assault with intent to murder. These cases
came up yesterday for trial, and were called
at noon, when the courthouse was imme-
diately filled with negroes, who stationed
themselves around and about the Brown
brothers. The attorneys were proceeding
with the case when there suddenly appear
ed about one hundred white men, all well
armed. Perceiving their entrance Ed.
Brown drew his pistol and fired in the di-
rection of Liddell, who was between his
attorneys, and thereupon the firing became
general. Ten negroes were instantly killed
and two others have since died. Some es-
capped by jumping through the windows, a
distaace of at least twenty feet from the
ground. On most of the dead bodies arms
were found. The room was completely
filled with smoke. the judges bench is
on the..north side of the room and benches
facing it are towards the south. II is
very large courtroom, with windows all
around. On the south wall were counted
1876 shot holes. In the wall of the passage
leading down stairs ten shot holes, and in
the benches thirty shot holes. One shot
struck on the northeast window sash and
glanced into the wall. Five others show
on the north wall from the direction of
the benches. Large pools of blood were
on the floor of the courtroom. The mob
left as quickly and quietly as they came in.
REvIvAL.-Rev. G.. M. Howard, the Evan
gelist. has been holding meetings every
night this week, in the skating rick, as no
church in the city was large enough to &C
commodate the audiences he attracts. His
services have been we'll attended, and much
interest has been manifested. The services,
we learn, will be continued, as interest in
them is increasing. -Roanoke Leader, Mar.

NEXT TO CLUvERIUS.
The prisoner was Immediately handcuff-
ed, taken to the carriage, and carried
down to the city Jail. Shackles were put
on his feet, and he was confined in Cell No.
37-the second one on the right-hand
(whites') side as you enter the jail. This
cell is next to the one in which T. j.
Cluverius, who stands convicted of the
murder of his cousin, Fannie Lillian Madi-
son, is confined. A strange coincidence is
that these two men, both of whom are
charged with very serious offences, should
be imprisoned in adjoining cells in the
same Jail, on the same day of the month,
and about the same hour. Cluverius was
committed to the city Jail one year ago
yesterday morning, his counsel having
waived an examination before the lower
court that day.
THE CHARGES.
The charges against the accused are:
1. That on the 18th day of March, 1886,
he did unlawfully, feloniously, and malici-
Ously shoot and wound Robert ]. Brooks
with pistol loaded with leaden bullet,
with intent to main, disfgure, and kill said
Brooks.
2. That he did on the above-named day
unlawfully, feloniously, and maliciously
shoot at A. M. Tomlinson with a pisto
loaded with leaden bullet, with intent to
MAIN, disfgure, and kill said A. M. Tom
linsOn
8. Unlawfully and feloniously breaking
and entering the store of Hermann Schmidt,
with intent to commit larcency.
4. Unlawfully and feloniously having in
bis possession tools, implements, and outfit
with intent to commit burglary, robbery,
or larceny.
On Monday, the burglar had trial at the
Police Court on the charge of breaking into
and entering the store of Hermann Schmidt
with intent to commit larceny. Some half
dozen witnesses for the commonwealth were
examined. No witnesses in behalf of the
prisoner we're introduced. Mr.. Allan,
counsel for the prisoner, said that he didn't
care to put any witnesses on the stand; that
he only consented to go into preliminary
examination in this case to see the strength
of the Commonwealth case; that he
would waive examination in the other three
cases.
The accused was accordingly sent on to
the April term of the Hastings Court.
After the case had been disposed of, Mr..
Allan went up to the Police Justice and
said that his client complained of cruel
treatment at the jail ana requested MIN TO
ask the Police Justice to have the shackles
removed from his wounded leg, and that
some other means be adopted for his safe
keeping.
Mr. Witt, Attorney for the Common
wealth, said that he was perfectly willing
for the physician at the Jail to examine the
prisoner, and if it was fact that the irons
did irritate his wounds, then he would
willingly consent for them to be removed.
Shaw was taken back to Jail by the Of
fcers of the court and confined in a cell
next to Cluverius

Ex-CHIEF JUSTICE o. A. LocHRANE, of
Atlanta, Ga, has decided to abandon the
Protestant Episcopal Church and become
Baptist. The Judge took an active part in
favor ofprohibition in the late election in
Atlanta, and was thus thrown into compan-
ionship with Rev. DR.. J. B. Hawthorne,
the Baptist pulpit orator. After the cleo
ton the preacher accompanied the Judge
to his home on Peachtree street, when the
wine casks and bottles were rolled out and
emptied of their contents into the streets.
The intimacy thus begun will be sealed in
few days by the immersion of Judge Loeb
rane at the hands of DIR. Hawthorne.
