HAPPENINGS IN MANCHEsrER.
The Funeral OF Mrs. Tueker-Per'
sonai and other Items.

The funeral OF Mrs. Ida V. Tucker
formerly Miss Bradley, whose remains
reached here Thursday from Blackstone,
Nottowsy county, where she died early
Wednesday morning, took place from
the Meade Memorial Episcopal church
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
church was crowded TO It's utmost capa-
city, and many were unable 10 gain adj
mission. The services we're conducted
\ by the rector, Rev. John j. Clop-
ton, and the interment was made in
Maury cemetery. The funeral process
sion was one of unusual length, and the
floral tributes were both numerous and
pretty. The pall-bearers were Messrs;;
Hardaway, Mcdaniel, Robinson, and
Norman Epps, of Blackstone, and Il. A.
Bowen, J. G. Gill, W. B. Lipscomb, and
II. G. Whitlock, OF this city. The corpse
looked very natural and life-like, and
many of the schoolmates and intimate
friends OF deceased called TO take part
ing look.
A called meeting OF Manchester Lodge,
No. II, of Masons, was held last night,
at which degrees we're conferred on sew
eral candidates. This lodge is growing
rapidly. The work has been so heavy
this month that two SPECIAL meetings, IN
addition to the regular one, have been
necessary to get through with it. No.
II is one of the oldest lodges in Virginia,
having celebrated its centennial ami
versary a year ago.
Tomorrow the new North-Run Bsp-
fist church in Henrico, of which Rev. J.
w. Reynolds, of this city, is pastor. and
which has just been completed, will be
formally dedicated to the worship of
God. The exercises will be of an in
teresting character and many persons of
this city and Richmond will attend.
Mr.. W. L. Namb) Waddell, who was
accidentally shot few days ago at the
penitentiary, where he was employed as
carpenter, is improving. His wound

Street-csr travel yesterday was render
ed very dsagreeable by reason of the
dusty condition of the streets. Manches-
ter needs street-sprinklers.
The Richmond and Petersburg Rail
road Company have very wisely put up
two gates at the Hull.street crossing.
This is a proper precaution and will be
appreciated.

who has been the guest OF Mrs. A. ID.
Shotweu for several weeks, will leave for

apples, punches OF bananas, and other
fruit in the room, all OF which were more
or less damaged.
An alarm was turned in from the First
police-station as soon as the fire was dis
covered, and the department responded
with its usual alacrity. The Tenth.
Street hose met a horse-car as it emerged
into Main, and hitched on, reaching the
fire in quick time, the car going faster
than street-cars usually do.
The damage to the house was mainly
in the destruction OF the lattice-blind
work, which formed the side of the story
which overlooked Seventeenth street,
and the woodwork ground it. This
burned prettily and rapidly, and but for
the timely arrival of the fire apparatus
the flames would have communicated to
the adjoining buildings.
Mr. Unger says he supposes that the
fire caught from the oil stove which was
being used in the room.

Delay on the Po-.omee Building.

fact that the post-office's business is daily
suffering on account OF the cramped
quarters in which the men have to ope-
rate.
1t is in the programme, now

Of its departments-is TO be removed to

so that they can be made to terminate in
