MANx Of our readers no doubt
remember the horrible Undertook
Gross murder some years ago which
took place near Q small tewn in
Pennsylvania, but the criminal re-
cords Of modern times scarcely con-
tain more horrible crime than that
Of Sarah Whiteling, Of Philadelphia
who has confessed to the deliberate
murder Of her two children by poi
son, and is believed to have MUIR
dered her husband also. although
she says he took poison of bis own
motive to get rid Of trouble, being
poor and in bad health. The object
Of these murders as in the Udder-
zook--Gross case was money, the
woman having effected small in
surance on the life of each Of her
victims.
We suppose it will be held that
this woman is insane, because her
crimes we're out of the regular course
of nature. Love Of offspring is an
almost universal trait, not only in
women, but in female Of all kinds,
from the lioness down to the ento-
biological species.
But a woman who is sane enough
to insure the lives Of her children
before she kills them, and collect
the money when they are dead, is
sufficiently sane to be held response
BILE, and is punished for murder.

showered upon the woods and fields
and sweltering mortals like waver-

The Mozar, Last Evening.

A large audience was in attendance
last evening at the 608th weekly masicate
of the Richmond Mozart Association,
and a we'll selected programme was salts
factorily rendered.
Master Ed. Thurstonplayed a pleasing
fanfasie on the clarinet, accompanied by
a string quartette. The execution of
this child upon so exacting an instrument
is quite remarkable. and he bids fair 10
become a fine musician.
Miss Genevieve Robinson, of Pitts
burgh, playedtwo numbers upon the pro-
oramme. each containing an "a" and
SB," and gave great delight TO her hear
ers. Her execution is smooth and grace
ful. and her selections were all pleasing.
Rarely has any amateur appearing at
the Mozart eanalled her as q pianist
One striking aud agreeable feature OF
Miss Robinson's selections was their
breyity. Pianists often tire their au-
dience by playing very long and tedious
pieces.
Mr. Marshall Ramos sung two solos.

notes in his deep bass voice. He is quite

THE ICE IN JAMES RIvER.
Masses OF 10 Floating Past the city
skating on tie Lake.

The backbone of the cold snap seems
to have been broken. The weather yes
terday was much warmer than 1t had
been for some time before, and under
the rays Of the sun in the forenoon and
the mild atmosphere in the afternoon
the mass of ice that had accumulated on
the shady sides OF the streets and other
unexposed places disappeared rapidly
The consequence was that where the
streets were slippery in the morning they
were wet and in not few places muddy
before night.
During the latter part of last week
there was a quantity OF ice ahoat IN the
river. This drifted in shoaly places and
where the current was not strong, and
accumulated to depth varying from
few inches to two feet or more. Such IS
the case on the Manchester side both
above and below Mayo's bridge ana
above the dam that causes the flow into
the Manchester canal. In the bends be-
low Richmond the ice had gorged to such
an extent as to make the passage on
Saturday and Sunday even of large
boats difficult. Navigation yesterday,
however, was much better. The Old
Dominion came in about o'clock in the
morning and broke through without
trouble or any special effort. The Ice
was then becoming rotten. During the
day there was quantity of floating ice,
which rendered the passage of small boats
rather hazardous. If the present wea-
ther continues the stream will be entire
ly clear in a few days.
The season has been an exceptionally
fine one for skating, and every spot of
ice that was accessible has been put to
this use and literally patronized. The
crowds that have visited Reservoir lake
for the past four days were almost with
out precedent. On each Of the street
cars was board containing the words,
Good Skating at Reservoir Lake. "
This was true, and the card proved a
drawing one, as nearly every car gong
out that way for the last three days has
been crowded. There has been hard
freeze each night, and the ice next
day was firm and CLASSY.
On Sunday there was an immense
crowd on the lake, and everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves. The boys
played handy and other games, and the
older artists entertained the lookers-on
with an exhibition of their scientific
skating.
Mr. Krause. who has the refreshment
privileges at the New-reseryoir grounds,
is doing a thrifty business. The ice began
to soften yesterday, and the skating was
not so good, but Notwithstanding there
were not less than 500 persons on the
lake yesterday afternoon and last night.
Toaccommodate the skaters, the dummy,
which ordinarily stops at Z o'clock, was
kept on last night until ten minutes be-
fore IL o'clock, mOking a trip from
Lombardy and Main streets to the lake
every half hour.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
TriaITrips-The First Strect-Car Ever
Heated by Electricity.


Ten of the electric-cars were put on
the line Yesterday morning, and they ran
with much regularity during the day,
although the track was in bad condition.
The motor-men, Superintendent Burt
saws. are becoming quite well drilled,
and if the trials for the next two days
are as satisfactory the line will be open
ed to the public Thursday morning with
a regular schedule. No passengers are
vet taken; that is, those who are al

fare. In a few days, however, the cou-
ductors will be glad to welcome the
public.
These cars will certainly present no.

TWO MEN DROWNED.
Seen Struggling i'm the Water-tn'
ayaiItuc Effort at Rescue.

About hali-past 8 o'clock yesterday, al
ternoon two white men were drowned In
the river just below Mayo's island, In
the Manchester channel. They were IN
o boat, which turned over. and they were
seen struggling in the water. Prompt
efforts to rescue them probably would
have been crowned with success, but no
move in this direction was made until Mr..
Daniel Driscoll, an engineer at the
Schuyler Electric Works, came along
Main street, and at Twenty-third, where
a crowd had collected, he saw the men
swimming. He at once went down to
the river, procured boat, and, accom-
panied by colored boy, started to the
rescue. The ice in the river prevented
rapid progress, and by the time he had
rowed to the spot both bodies had dis
appeared.
The names of the men could not be
learned. Some seem to think the occu-
pants Of the boat engaged in fight, and
IN this way overturned the boat, which
was, it is thought, coming from the
Manchester to the Richmond side.
No effort was made last night to find
their bodies.

THE COLORED MECHANICS.
what They Asked Tor and what They
EGe.

At the meeting Of the Grounds and
Buildings Committee last week delega-
ton of colored mechanics presented the
following paper
We. number Of citizens and tax
payers Of this city, known as colored
mechanics, are prepared to execute
work in all its branches, such AS
stone-cutting, bricklaying, carpentering,
plastering, and blacksmithing. Hey-
Ing waited, watched, and prayed
over the matter OF having de-
MED us the right that other citizens
enjoy, therefore we knock at your
door and appeal to your judgment and
sympathy with all the earnestness and
patience that law.abiding citizens can
command, asking ct your hands, as the
peoples representatives, why is tins un-
lawful and uureasoning discrimination
made AGAINST us cOlored mechanics ?
We earnestly ask your honorable COM
mittee for employment IN different
branches of work on the CITY
Hall building, pledging ourselves II
our petition be granted that we
will discharge our duty with credit
20 ourselves and honor TO your
committee. We, rs citizens OF Rich-
mond and mechanics in such branches as
needed on the City-Hall building, do
hereby make our desires known and
again request that, being taxpayers
within the limits Of the city and borders
of this grand Old Commonwealth, we be
appointed to work on this public edifce.
We desire this to be done, thus demon
strating that all men will be treated as
citizens, regardless OF race or color, they
having qualified for the exercise OF these
sovereign privileges.
The committee resolved last night that
each foreman make an official report to
the committee what effect the employ
ment of colored mechanics will have on
the work in their respective branches.
Replies were received from all the
foremen last night. The foremen OF
stone-work, stonemasons, and black
smiths recite the fact that their hands are
members Of unions, and therefore non
union men cannot work with them. If
the latter were put to work the former
would leave. The foreman OF carpenter
ing says "The employment OF colored
carpenters would cause no trouble among
the carpenters. At the same time we
would rather uOtwOrl on the same bench
with colored carpenter.
The bricklayers foreman says" viii
not affect bricklayers in any way, as the
colored and white bricklayers are mem
bers of the same union but l am re-
anested by the bricklayers employed on
the new City Hall to state in this report
that if they were governed by their
feelings they would not work with a
colored mechanic.
The committee decided that "no lis
elimination be made in the employment
of men on the new City Hall, but that
each foreman employ such workmen as
the best interests of the city demand"
