TOHAVE TRADES PARADE.
Arrangements to BE Made for Labor
Day Parade I'm Richmond.

A well-attended meeting of representa-.
tives from the white labor organizations OF
Richmond was held at Smiths Hall last
night at O'Clock TO consider the advIsa-
bility of observing Labor-day-th trst
Monday in September.
After full discussion of the subject IL
was decided TO appoint committee OF one
from each trade TO canvass their respective
organizations and obtain the sentiment re-
garding the matter, and if 1T Is favored
also to formulate plans and report to the
adjourned meeting TO be held Friday night
two weeks.
The sentiment Of all present YVES decided
ly in favor OF having great Labor-day pa
rade and demonstration, such as for many
years have been customary IN the North
and In England. but the doubt was ex-
pressed by some whether proper prepara-
ton for the event can be made in such
limited time. This WAS why o committee
of inquiry was appointed. and II they,
upon thorough canvass and inyestiga--
tIon find that the trades are IN favor of
such display and that crcditable one
can be gotten up work will be commenced
at once TO make it great ahair.
The idea of observing the day here
originated with the cigar makers.
The trades represented at last nights
meeting were those of machinists, bakers,
carpenters and joiners, moiders, tailors,
tinners, painters, printers, stone-cutters,
plumbers, and cigar-makers. There are
no other white labor organizations here.

BIG BLOCK OF GRANITE.
A Piece for the sailors Monument That
Weighs Twenty-Six Tons

An enormous block Of Virginia granite,
Guarried near Petersburg. Is now being
dragged up Twenty-fourth street and will
be moved thence 70 the Confederate sol
diers' and sailors monument now in course
of erection on Libby Hill.
This stone. which IS ten feet square and
nearly three feet thick. viii be used ne the
plinth of the mOnument--that Is to say,
the uortion Of the structure upon which
the base of the column Will rest. II weighs
81 900 pounds (twentv-siX tonsl and is per-
haps the largest block of granite ever seen
IN this city.
HOW II Is MOVED.
Thirteen stalwart negro men are employ
ed IN moving the stone. but such IS IT'S
enormous size and weight that their com
bined efforts can only move It about a
square in day. They are. of course. using
windlasses, ard have the block placed upon
huge rollers which run on track or heavy
timber. Even when they are applying
these mechanical devices and using their
utmost strength the motion IA scarcely
perceptlble to the eye: and although the
mighty cables which are attached to the
rollers from the wiudlaSs creak and stretch
the stone scarcely budgos.
The RAIN INTERFEBEs.
This granite was brought 10 the city Vii
dav on the Richmond and Petersburg rail-
road and was unloaded near kinnev's to-
cco-factory. Owing TO the constant rains
the work of moving il was somewhat re-
tarded. but yesterday the workmen had
dragged II rs far as the corner of Twenty
fourth and Franklin. Thence 1t will be
carried up Franklin TO Libby Hill and then
TO the foundation of the monument, which
has been completed.
A BROKEN BLOCK.
A short while ago one of these huge
stones was dragged TO the monument, but
IT was unfortunately broken after II had
reached It's destination. This accident
was caused hv a defective seam III the
granite. but the stone was utilized TOR
other purposes in connection with the
foundation. The piece of granite now
being moved seems to be Of excellent
quality and is apparently without flaw.
The sections over which the stone has 10
be carried are the most hilly in the city.
and for this reason considerably greater
difficulty is experienced than would be en-
countercd were the streets level or sloping.
WORK PROGRESSING WELL.
Work on the monument IS now rapidly
being pushed forward, and when COM
pleted il Will tower aloft most beautiful
and eternal memorial TO the Confederate
dead With such enormous blocks OF
granite as those now being utilized in its
construction II hardly seems conceivable
that such work can ever be destroyed.

Tne woman who died was named Pattie

struck her. and exploding ignited her
clothing. burning her so badly that II was
necessary to move her to the almshou~,
where she died Yesterday morning between

seriouely injured. but later on 1t was DIS
covered that she was fearfully burned on
every part Of her body except her mead,
throat, breast. and feet. The burned por-
tion OF her body was almost baked and she
died IN terrible agony.
Immediately after striking her with the
lamp Jennings darted down Eighteenth

away so quickly that they were unable to
capture him. According 10 one OF these
witnesses he knocked her down and then
took the lamp and threw it at her, and the
| lamp exploding, her clothing took flre at
once. This. however. coutiicts with the
| facts learned by the police. who think the
woman was Knocked down by the lamp.

Before her death Pattic stated that she
| had two lamps. one of which she had lent
to jennings, and having broken the one
| in her possession she went to Jennings il
order to get him to return the borrowed
one. This, she said, caused the alterca
ton, during which he threw the lamp al
her. The dead woman had no particular
| home. living wherever she could hnd a
temporary lodging.

| eating the affair last night, and will hole
