The Moving of Dead Bodies.

The Richmond and Allegheny Railroad
Company were summoned to show cause
before the Police Justice yesterday morn
ing why they should not be fined for
moving the bodies of two cOlOred children
to Fuvanna county for burial without
permission from the Board of Health.
The evidence showed that the agent OF
the company was under the impression
that all that was necessary was the GER
tifcate of death from the attending
physician, which certificate had been
shown.
The case was dismissed, as it was shown
that there had been no intention OF
violating the law, and that the matter
was generally attended to by the under
taker
At the request of the Police Justice
the ordinance in reference to this matter
is published for the benefit of all persons
interested:
Section 10, chapter "a, City Ordinances :
d" No undertaken or other person shall
move a dead body Of any person who has
died in the city and has not been buried
to any place beyond the limits of the city
or of its sanitary jurisdiction without
procuring a permit from a member of the
Board of Health, upon aforesaid certifi-
cate from the attending physician or
coroner. Nor shall any master, agent,
or person having charge of or attached
to any steamboat, sailing or other vessel,
car, stage, or any other public or private
conveyance, move, convey, or allow to be
conveyed the dead body of any person
who has died in the city to any place be-
yond the limits of the city, under pen
atty of S25N

Cutting Scrape.

Last night about half-past 10 Daniei
Murphy, who keeps a saloon On Sixth
street, between Broad and Marshall, was
seriously cut by Charles Joplin Ahern.
The affair took place in Mrs Bergln' sa-
loon. Pink alley, between Broad and Mar
shall and Sixth and Seventh streets, few
doors from Sixth street. Ahern had some
small crackers in his pocket and Murphy
had been playing with him-taking the
crackers out of his pocket. Ahern told
Murphy to stop, which he did not do.
Ahern then reached into his pocket, pull
ed out his knife, and told Murphy he
would cut him if he put his hand into his
(Ahern's) pocket again. Murphy did so,
and Ahern playfully struck him with the
handle of the knife; then drawing back
he turned the knife and plunged the blade
deep into Murphy's left breast.
DR.. Brock was telephOned, but was not
at home, and much time was lost in
securing physician, during which Muir
phy lost considerable blood
Both parties were under the influence
of liquor Up to late hour last night
Ahern had not been arrested, but the
police are on the lookout for him, and he
will doubtless be caught shortly.

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
THE POPULAR VOTE NECESSARY
TO CARRY IT.
Some Figures That VIII Arrest At

tion, Can It He CArried7

NASHVILLE, TENN, December 25.-
The Union this morning. publishes the
following: There has been Bjme dis
custom ( late in the press in reference
to the number of votes required 10
carry the prohibition amendment to
the constitution should il he submit.
ted to q vote OF the people. II the
amendment shall pass each Of the
two houses of the General Assem-
bly, by a two.thirds voe, the State
constitution provides that it shall
then be submitted TO q vote OF the
people at an appointed time. 1t
then goes on to say: Section 3. "And
if the people shall approve and rstify
such amendment or amendments by
majority OF all the citizens OF The
State, voting for representatives in
their favor, such amendment or
amendments shall become a part OF
this constitution"
In order t1see what vote Mt the polls
would. be required to pass the amend
ment, the writer carefully compiled
the entire vote OF each county in the
late November election. Ia order tD
get at the exact vote re quisite II would
seem necessary that there should be
report from each county OF the num-
Der OF persons voting at the election,
no taken from the distric. polling lists.
No such report, however, is made or
required by law to be made. Re.
course was therefore had TO the actual
votes received by the candidates for
the House OF Representative in
the General ASSEMBLY. The total
ascribed in this article to each county
Is OBJ aimed where county elects bu.
one Representative, or il merely in
Floterial district, by adding together
the vote received by all the candi-
da!es; where county elects two or
more by adding together the highest
vote received by candidi'e on each
OF the opp osing tlcktt s, and where a
county votes flr a Representative aud
Floterlal Representative by taking the
higher vote OF the two.
The total number OF "cltizens Of thu
State voting for Repre- lentstives OBJ.
tanned in this manner is 229, 687. A
majority Of these is ll4,sil. From
the readingof the constitution II there
were an unusually large vote polled
the amendment might receive this
number OF votes and yet large ma.
j rity Of the votes be cast against it
At the August ele ction there were over
277,000 votes cast, and a majority of
these would be l38,500 Even in ths
late November election the two Guber-
material candidates ioge her received
236, 465, or nearly 1000 more than the
number sctually voting for Represents
tives, rs far as sscertainable. The total
Congressional vo q Of the State In the
same election was 2Sl, APO. not quite
1000 above the vote for Representa-.
tives. Special elections, however,
generally bring out very small vote,
and II one shall b. held to vote on The
prohibition amendment, as seems
probable, it is not likely to prove az
entire exception to the rule. Below
is given the total vote for Representa-
tives by countess:
