The ball was kicked out and the Rich
monds had the ball in the centre of the
| field. when q foul was made by one OF
| their men, and was called down and against
| them by their own umpire. At this the
| Richmonds became dsheartened and dis
couraged, and left the field, giving the
J game TO the University team by score OF
| 10 to in one inning.
Mr.. w. II. Virgins, of the Petersburg
| team, was struck and knocked down by
| a ball and carried from the field. Injuries
not serious.
In the Mayors Court this morning An
| drew Jackson. a colored employee OF the
| Electric-Light Company, was fined S25 and
required TO givo bond in the sum Of $3.50
for his good behavior for using language
on election-day calculated TO lncite riot.
Joshua Powell (colored), charged with re-
sisting an officer, was sent on to the Hust-
ings Court for trial.
4 large crowd of negroes was present and
.his Honor, Mayor Collier, took advantage
| of the opportunity offered TO give them
| some good advice. He said that every
man, white ard colOred. enjoyed the privi-
| lege of free suffrage, and that as far as IN
his power lay he would see that they should
have it. He would not allow intimidation,
| he would not allow conduct on the part OF
any one that might result in disorder or
not, and he would use every proper mea-
sure to maintain the peace of the commu-
| nity and uphold the rights OF citizenship.
| And here il may be stated that the firm,
| dignified, impartial stand taken 10y Mayor
| Collier throughout all the exciting and
! irving scenes of the last few days has won
! for him the highest respect and the warm
| est commentator of the whole commu-
| nifty. He could not be swervcd from his
| firm opinion of what was right and legal,
and his manly stand and determined ac-
ton contributed largely TO the preserva-
| ton of order. The people of Petersburg,
who have always honored him. honor him
vet the more, and love him the better be-
| cause of his invaluable services during
| the trials and emergencies OF this week.
A committee of experts was appointed
to-day to examine and report upon the
| condition of the walls of the burned
| buildings. Many of these walls were pull
| ed down yesterday, but some were left
standing, and if necessary these Will be
pulled down at once.
Having lost everything by the fire, the
| Young Mems Christian Association Will
probably now commence the erection of
| their own hall, for which liberal sum was
some time ago subscribed. All the losers
| of real estate by the fire will rebuild as
soon as possible. A large number OF lnsu-
rance men representing companies from
abroad are in the city to-day: and the
probability is that all losses will be ad-
justed promptly so as to afford necessary
relief.
In one or more of the nearest precincts
in Prince George county. it is reported, the
negroes assembled and camped out oil night
| before the election. and were IN line to vote
when the polls were opened. Your CORE
spondent this morning was shown ticket
which q negro proposed TO vote with one
or more Democratic names written on 1t.
Before he could hand in his ballot II was
taken from his hands by q Republican, torn
in half thrown on the ground, and Ma
hone ticket placed in his hands: lntimida-
ton of this kind is reported from many
| quarters IN the district.
