AsnOCKING DISCOVERY.
A woman aRd Five children Found
Dead from YeitoH-Fever.


CHICAGO, September Ga special
from st. Augustine, Fla, says: A let
ter has been received in this city dis
closing terrible state of affairs in the
town of Bayard, q small settlement on
the line Of the Jacksonville and st.
Augustine railroad about twenty miles
north OF here.
William Ortgus, son of farmer living
at Sampson, five miles from Bayard. had
occasion to visit the latter place. On
nearing the settlement he was attracted
by strong stencil emanating from the
vicinity Of q house supposed 10 be
vacant. Through curiosity he proceeded
to investigate, and on reaching the house
CHASTITY spectacle met his eyes.
Stretched upon couch was the body Of
a woman, and in the same room were
the bodies of five children. They had
evidently been dead several days. The
boy on realizing the horror OF the scene
fled, and mounting his horse rode back
to his home and told the startling story.
As st. Augustine is strictly quarantined
against Bayard and that vicinity
the news did not reach here until several
days after the occurrence. The country
people are horror-stricken, and even il
1t were known that any one was oc-
cupying the house it is unlikely that any
one Of them could have been induced to
go near it il he knew there was case of
yellow fever. II is supposed that the
unfortunates were refugees from Jack
sonville and were stricken with the dis
ease after leaving town.

CONTEST FOR OFFICE.
TWO UPERIETENDENrs OF LAMP
LIGHTERS CLAIM THE PLACE.
The Old Incumbent Declines to Give Way
to the New Appointee.

The City Council Committee on
Light met in the Council chamber yes
terday evening at 6 o'clock. Present
Messrs Bodeker (chairman), Hargrove,
Davis, and Grimes.
Superintendent Adams submitted a
report stating that the retort-house is in
bad condition, and that the main
rafters and braces are so much decayed
that there is great danger of the roof
falling 10. He recommended that a new
roof be put upon the building as soon as
possible, and believed that it would cost
about $1,000.
Mr.. Hargroye moved that the Super
intendent be instructed to get estimates
of the cost and report to the next meet
ing Of the committee. Carried.
A QUESTION OF PLACE.
A letter was read from Mr.. Adams
stating that at the last meeting OF the
committee the City Attorney submitted
a report that the committee had the en-
tire control Of the lamp-hghting force,
and that the committee then put the
whole force under his supervision that
on the 30th of August he removed Mr..
B. L. Eaves, the superintendent OF G
force OF fourteen lamp-lighters, and ap-
pointed Mr.. Cohn, and that MIR. Esves
refused TO give up his position, stating
that the committee had elected him and
his term did not expire until January,
1889.
Mr.. EAvEs's SIDE.
Mr.. Eaves was present and stated that
Mr.. j. II. Conner would represent him
before the committee.
Mr.. Conner spoke at length, arguing
that the committee had no power to
authorize Mr.. Adams TO appoint and re-
move at his will the superintendent or
any Of the lamp-lighters without the con-
sent OF the Council. He said that some
time ago the Council passed an ordinance
| giving the Committee on Light the
control Of the lsmp-lighters, and that 1t
was their duty 10 appoint or remove as
the case may be. Heappealed to the COM
mittee 10 take Mr.. Eaves's case under
consideration and continue him in his
Office.
Mr.. Davis moved to refer the matter
to the City Attorney for his opinion.
THE ORDINANCE.
Messrs. Bodeker and Hargrove thought
the ordinance provided that the commit
tee should have the entire control of the
lamp-lighters and should act as they saw
fit and that they had the right to put
that department under the supervision OF
Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Davis's motion was lost.
AYE.-Mr. Davis.
NoEs. .-Messrs. Bodeker, Grimes, and
Hargrove-3.
Mr.. Conner announced that he would
take an appeal to the City Council.
TIE PLACE.
The superintendent receives $500 per
annum and the lamp-lghters $500 per an
nun.
After ordering sundry bills and the
regular pay roll to be paid the committee
adjourned.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Il is to be Held at Henrico Court.
House on Ghe r3ah.

The Republican Convention for the
Third congressional district will meet al
the Henrico courthouse on next Thurs
day at noon to nominate candidate fol
Congress.
Following the example of the Demo
Gratis, the city and county delegates will,
on the adjournment of the Congressional
Convention, organize themselves into a
body for the nomination Of candidate
for senator, and afterwards the city dele
gates will proceed to make nomination
for the House of Delegates
Ward meetings will be held through
out the city Monday night to appoint
delegates to the conventions.
The general impression is that exCity
Sergeant James G. Smith can get the
congressional nomination if he will ac-
cept it. The name Of Hon. Thomas $.
Atkins, Judge OF the Hastings Court, is
also mentioned, but il is known TO be his
determination not to become a candidate
for any place while be holds his present
position. Judge Waddill has many
friends who think that he ought to have
the position, and Mr. John $. Bethel.
who was president Of the Reform Com
mon Conncil, is frequently referred to in
the same connection.
In pursuance of General Mahone's
plan to carry Virginia for Harrison and
Morton, there is no doubt that the Re-
publicans in this congressional district
will be thoroughly organized. They
haven't the remotest idea that they can
win in this district, but they want to poll
their full strength TO count in the general
result, and will without a doubt make a
close canvass. Their design will be 10
organize carefully and see that all their
voters register and vote. No candidate
they could name could contend with the
Hon. George ID. Wise before the people,
and this they know, hence they won't
depend much on public speaking.

Gently held in the city Of Williamsburg,

ton, together with any suggestions which
you NAV desire 10 make as to the man
Der in which its usefulness can be best

As is well known the college has for a
number of years been closed. but the
recent action of the General Assembly
of Virginia in making an appropriation
TO establish in connection with its regu-
lar collegiate course system of normal
instruction. together with the improved
condition of its own finances, has en-
abled its Board of Visitors to once more
| open its doors.
An energetic and capable corps OF pro-
fessors has been selected, every provi-
sion has been made for the comfort OF
her students, and with the brightest pros
poets of success the old college enters
upon a new career Of usefulness.
IT only remains for her alumni to Sc
cond the jealous efforts of her visitors
and faculty to secure for her position
among the colleges of our land which
shall be worthy of her illustrious past.
