Ahnn, the Leo Monument.

The Norfolk Virginian of yesterday,
in its report Of the meeting Of the
Pickett buchanan Camp Of Confederate
Veterans held Tuesday night, says;
The Camp unanimously adopted the
following resolutions
BesOired, That We the Pickett
Buchanan Camp Of Confederate Vete-
rams, strosgly recommend that the pro.
posed monument to our late beloved
General r. Z. Lee should be an eques-
trian statue, as his soldiers, who fol-
lowed him so long with pride and de-
yotion never excelled, knew him best
when mounted on Traveller" whether
commanding his charging columns in
battle or on the stately review, and so
they love to remember him.
Resolred, That we heartily second
the suggestion that to Vlrginia's gifted
son Valentine, who has already given
evidence of masters hands, should
be entrusted this great work.

The Committee on Ordinances met
yesterday in the Council chamber NJ
6:30 P. NJ. Present: Messrs. Guy
(chairmsn), NJ, Murphy, and Hayes.
The first business taken up was an
ordinance proposed in the Board OF AL
deImen by Mr.. Bland on the 9Th Of Au-
gust. This ordinance provided that any
officer or employee OF the city, either
elected or appointed, who permitted his
salary or wages to be garnisheed should
be dismissed.
The committee talked over the or
dinance for awhile, and finally agreed
that it was not proper, being capable Of
entirely too broad a construction. IL was
further agreed to refer the ordinance to .
committee Of one (Mr. Guy), with in
structions to properly frame it and re-
port at q subsequent meeting.
After some unimportant business the
committee adjourned at ten minutes to

Death of mrs. ID. &. Richardson.

Mrs. Alice A. Richardson, wife Of
Police-Justice d. G. Richardson, died
at her residence, 700 north Twenty
seventh street, a. few minutes after 6
o'clock yesterday evening; aged thirty
five years. Mrs. Richardson was one Of
five daughters Of William Fellows, and
was before marriage a most acceptable
school-teacher in this city.
In December, 1884, she took cold by
exposure in shopping for Christmas,
and laid the foundation for most pro-
tracted lung-disease. About year ago
severe attack Of inhammatory rheu-
matism was added to her other trou-
bles, and she was for months very
severe sufferer. Last summer she went
to the Warm Springs, hoping to be rid
of this latter aiiliction, but re-
turned home not much improved.
Later she went South, hoping
that a change of climate might help her
luDg-trouble, but the rainy weather Of
last spriOg kept her indoors and she
again returned home unprofited. After
her return from the South the decline in
health was steady in spite Of every
thing that the skill of half-dozen ply
sicisns of experience could devise or
The tender care of friends could suggest
Indeed, never was woman more kindly
nursed. Mr.. Richardson spared nothing
in his efforts to save her. Her heroism
in the long fght was most beautiful to
behold Her bright smile was cheerful
welcome to all who called to see her.
Knowing that the malady would
eventually claim her as its victim, she
cheerfully contemplated her end; in
deed, was anxious to depart and be
with Christ, which she thought was
"far better"
No person ever faced deSth more he
roically. Having small children, she
was anxious to live for their sakeS and
for the sake Of her noble ard devoted
husband, but when it was clear that all
these must be given up, she was as
calm and peaceful as if about to so on
short journey whence she would
soon return. No sweeter.spirited wo-
man ever died in this city than Mrs.
Richardson, and in no woman was
Christian faith and hope more triumph
ant. She leaves four children and al
aged mother and four sisters to lament
her. She Joined the Church early in
life. Mrs. Richardson was as lovely
in person as in character.

New YORK, August 25.-District
Assembly No. 40 held an all.night ses-
sion, and some time this morning con-
cluded not TO tie up the cross-town cars
on Forty. second street. The men on
the strike say that the tie-up of the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue lines
will be short-llyed, or that there will be
a general tie. Master Workman
John Mcguire has retired temporarily
from the direction of the Assembly,
owing to sickness. At 6 A. NJ. nearly
three hundred policemen marched out
Of the stables of the Broadway and
Seyenth-Avenue line and dispersed the
men who bad gathered on adjacent cor
ners. The police and people were good
natured, and there was no trouble.
Large crowds gathered at the stables
this morning to witness the attempt Of
the company to start the cars. The
strikers were kept away by the efforts
of District W orkman Graham, Knights
of Labor District No. IS Of Car-Driyers.
In anticipation of trouble Acting-Super-
intendent.of- Police Steers and Inspector
Dilks had placed on duty one thousand
policemen in the neighborhood of the
stables. Instructions were given to
prevent crowds. The scum Of the West
Side were on hand as usual to profit by
any IiOting. AS fast as they arrived
they were driven away. Huh
dreds of them hid in saloons.
Police were also stationed along
Seventh avenue and Broadway to
Bowling Green. These arrangements
occupied the morning, and it was nearly
noon before they were completed. At
1926 A. NJ. a car started on its trip
down town. A yell arose from the
loungers on Seventh avenue, and msn
began TO pour in from the side streets
and neighboripg saloons until in few
minutes a mob Of excited men filled the
wide avenue and started after the car.
1t went along for about six blocks
easily, with an occasional stone, until
the Broadway switch was reached.
Here an effort was made TO derail 1t by
placing piece Of wood in the switch.
This proved unsuccessful, bat
soon after collision occurred at Forty
second street with a car Of the For
ty.second.Street and Boulevard line.
The two ears came together with great
force, but no injury beyond shaking
up occurred. The mob hoo:ed the
driver, and stones were thrown against
the car. The police charged the crowd
and dispersed them for moment. In
The attempt to get away from the po-
lice a glass door OF large wine-store
was smashed. Further on the mob
again appeared and overturned q
large ry-goods' truck on the track.
This the police lifted by main
strength from the track, and the car
proceeded, amid the yells and hootinss
Of the crowd. Stones and bricks we're
again thrown against the car, smashing
one Of the veniilators. At Sixth ave.

LOCAL MATTERS.
SUDDEN AND SHOCKING DEATH OF MR.
w. A. MATT0x.
His Horse Takes Fright, Runs Away, and
He is Thrown Out and Killed
Almost Instantly.

Mr.. William A. Msttox, who lived
at Sl5 north Twenty-fourth street, met
with a shocking accident yesterday
morning, which resulted in his almost
instantaneous death. About 10 O'Clock
he and his little son, Hunter, aged
about thirteen years, were driving up
Franklin street in top-wagon. When
near the corner of Twentieth street the
horse became frightened at the sight of
a hsnd.caIt, which was being pushed
by a white man, and dashed off up the
street. just in front Of Bos-
sieux's stable, which is on Frank
lin street between Eighteenth aud Nine
teenih, Mr.. Mattox's team ran first
against V. Hechler's wagon and then
against coal.cart, was upset, and both
he and his son were thrown out. The
boy escaped with only slight cut on
his chin, but Mr.. Mattox had the back
part of his skull broken in and died
almost instantly.
The accident attracted a large
crowd, and several persons ran to
Mr.. Mattox's assistance. He was
taken out from under the wagon,
found to be insensible, and blood was
flowing from his head freely. lie was
taken into Bossieux's stable and DR..
Curd summoned, who did all he could,
but to no avail, for in few seconds Mr..
Mattox was dead, not having spoken
since he was hurt. Coroner Taylor
was summoned and viewed the body,
but deemed an inquest unnecessary.
An examination showed that there
were two wounds on the hesd-one
inst above and back OF the right
ear, in which the skull was dread
fully broken in, and another further
back on the head, which was only
cut, not very deep. The first wound is
thought to have caused death, and it
was made, it is supposed, by the head
falling with great force against one Of
the stones with which the street is
paved.
The body was taken in charge by
friends and carried to the undertaking
establishment of L. w. Billups & Co.,
where it was prepared for burial. Later
in the day it was carried to his home, on
Twenty.fourih street. Mrs. Mattox
has been sick for the last three weeks,
and the sudden news Of her husbands
death was a severe blow to her, though
she bore it with great courage.
Mr.. Mattox was forty.four years old,
was born and raised in Petersburg,
where he lived up to 1872, when he
moved to Richmond, since which time
he has been following the occupation Of
builder and contractor. lie had the
contract for building the new school
house now in the process of erection at
the corner of Moore and Lombardy
streets. He leaves a wife and three
children.
The funeral services will take place
from Union-Station church Friday morn
ing at Q o'clock. The interment will be
in Petersburg.
