Tho RrooL Turnpike.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Richmond and Henrico
Railroad, Turnpike and Graded Road
Company, or in other words the Brook
Turnpike Company, was held yesterday
at the Office Of the president, 9O4 east
Broad street.
MIR. j. b. Crenshaw, the president,
and all of the other old officers were re-
elected. The subject OF selling The
turnpike was discussed, and it was the
idea OF all present that it will be best to
sell os quickly as practicable. The
meeting without any definite action ad'
iourned until the 18th instant
. At meeting of thesbondholders held
not long ago q committee was appointed
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1888-04-10

to look into this matter and arrange for
the sale. The stockholders will now ac-
quiesce in this action.
The stock OF the company. which
represents $40, $50, is practically worth
less and the proceeds OF the sale viii pay
but little more, it is Thought, than the
fourteen years interest due on the Londs
held by persons not resident on the road.
Those bondholders who reside on the
turnpike have received some benefits IN
the way OF not having TO pay toll sthe
others have received no benefits what
ever.
The president, Mr. Cr5rsbaw. recently
asked OF Messrs. Staples and Munford
their opinion rs TO the right OF the con-
pany to sell br otherwise dispose Of the
road, and they are OF opinion that it can
be sold, as under the charter the right to
it is made fee simple, n provision not
embraced in many such charters.

Continental Brewing Company, lost q
very fine horse yesterday. and the cir
cumstances leading to its death we're of
the most mysterious character. The
animal was put in the stable Sunday
night well and sound. When the door
was opened yesterday morning it was
found sitting on its launches, and
an examination disclosed the fact
that each of its hindlegs was
broken in two places. Mr.. Hill had
the horse. which he prized very
highly and valued at $500, shot and
killed. How the limbs we're broken is
something strange, as the stable floor is
entirely of sound white-oak plank with
out even a small hole, and there was no
evidence Of any one having been in the
stable during the night. A man who
slept over the stable said he heard no
noise during the night.

We have in this store many ways Of
ohowing dress goods. ALI the goods for
evening wear are shown under three diff
ferent lights in rooms fitted up for that
purpose. We show the goods first by
sunlight, and then they are taken into a
room lighted by gas. To the light shades
Of goods the gas gives a sort Of pink rose
tint, and In certain colors works a beau
uful effect The same goods shown In
the room lighted by electricity take on a
lavender tint In place of the rose hue
produced by gaslight. This method of
showing goods we find very satisfactory
70 our customers. 1t certainly has
brought thousands of ladies to the city
who, under other circumstances, would
have purchased their dress goods of the

Most lizards have the faculty of she'd
ding their tails when seriously frightened,
and of sprouting new ones from the
stump some time afterward. This leads
a writer in a cyclopedia for young people
to say that '1izards' tails are almost as
brittle as glass" and hat a glove or
handkerchief dropped on them causes
them to snap off. To my own knowl-
edge the tail of the ''joint snake, " or
legless lizard, is so much moro 'fbrittle"
than glass that it breaks into several
pieces when it isn't touched at all, pro-
vided the reptile is placed in jeopardy Of
his life. The tendency to sprout a new

with n forked tail-the new one having
grown out when the old one was only
partially discovered .-Henry j. Philpott
