II often takes as long as three hours to
get the statistics from one concern and
sometimes several visits have TO be made
before this can be accomplished.
RECEIVED couETEousLY.

turers are manifesting disposition to

the proprletors or managers are often

duties rs not then to be able 10 spare the
time needed 10 give the information.
An haverage days work is from four TO
FIVE establishments. In some instances
Mr.. Harrison has succeeded in getting
more than FIVE and in others he has not
been able TO complete more than two. IL
requires considerable time for tho manu-
facturers. after the agent has called, to col
lect these facts with q sufficient degree OF
accuracy.
MANY LETTERS TO WRITE.
The special agent has to mail the result
of his days work each afternoon. and as
the package Is registered II has TO be IN
the Office by 6 O'Clock. Each of these IA
accompanied bv letter outlining what
has been done during the day. The
agent has TO give the number Of places
visited, the names Of them. and if the re-
ports are not gotten the reason for the
agents failure 10 get them. II Will be
seen, therefore. that Mr.. Harrison has much
clerical work to do. and it is evident that
no agent can frit away his time without
the Government officials knowing well that
he Is doing 40.
Mr. Harrison says he meets with no ab-
solute refusals TO give him the informa-
tion desired, and in most cases he is treat
ed very courteously. He thinks he will be
able 10 get through with the undertaking
in the allotted time. and that Richmond

no means dampened. and the day was very
pleasantly spent.
There was a splendid dinner served early
in the afternoon, 10 which the members Of
the command and their guests did ample
justice.
The feature Of the day was the target
practice with carblnes and pistols for the
gold medal annually awarded 70 the best
marksman. The contest was quite close
and decidedly interesting. To those who
participated IN 1t there was abundant ex
citement and those who merely looked on
greatly enjoyed the display of fine marks
manshp. The prize was won by First
Sergeant Charles III. Euker. who made 6
record Of 27.

THROWN FROM HER BUGGY.
Miss Dabney Rendered Unconscious, but
Not Seriously Hurt.

About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon as
Miss Gertrude Dabney. young lady who
resides on north Twenty-third street, was
driving along Cary street near First pass,
ING coal-cart ran into and became entangled
with her buggy, upturning it and throw
ing the young lady to the ground.
She was knocked senseless. and at first
il was believed that she was very seriously
hurt, but it was subsequently ascertained
that no bones were broken.
Miss Dabney was taken into the resi-.
dence Of Mr.. Thomas III. Roberts and
Drs. Ross and Deaton Immediately sent
for. They found the young lady consider
ably bruised and suffering from nervous
prostratlon. but not dangerously hurt.
Several of the relatives OF the young
lady were sent for and she was carried
home in n carriage.
1t is not exactly known how the accident
occurred. but II is supposed TO have been
due TO the carelessness of the colored
driver whose cart collided with the buggy,
breaking the shafts and wheels. The horse
attached TO the buggy managed to extri-
cate itself and escaped without injury.

NOW He CAN VOTE AGAIN.
Governor Mckinney Removes the Poiiti-
cal Disabilities of Alexander Estes.

Governor Mckinney yesterday removed
the political disabilities of Alexander Estes,
colored citizen of Albemarle county.
The petition upon which this action was
taken by the Executive was signed by
nwealth's-Attorney Woods and a
number Of other citizens of the county.
From this paper 1t appears that Estes Is
native of Nelson county, and that IN
1868, when he was but sixteen years old. he
was convicted Of burglary. having been
concerned with Squire Brown, a man Of
more mature years. in breaking into to-
bacco-house and purloining sixty pounds
of stripped leaf tobacco.
He went to Albemarle county TO live
the next year. and If represented to have
made good citizen and established an ex-
cellent character IN the twenty-One years
that have since elapsed.
Believing that Estes's offence was really
petit larceny no was allowed to register
soon after his removal to Albemarle and
has voted regularly since. but his name
was recently stricken from the books and
it was TO restore his right of suffrage that
bis Excellency was asked to remove his
disabilities

GEN. EARLY'S ESCAPE
CRUSHED UNDER FALLING WALLS
AND RESCUED FROM DEATH.
The General and Negro BOY Saved by
Window and Door-Frsmes-Other
Narrow Escapes.
Especial telegram to the Dispasch-l


LYNcHBuRc, Va, September 80. General
Jubal A. Early had one Of the narrowest
escapes from death this evening ever wit
messed in this city. About 4:30 o'clock he
came down Main street and stopped IN
front of one of the buildings (the Western
Union telegraph office) and was giving
directions to several colorei workmen VINO
had been engaged at work removing the
debris. when all of a sudden, and without
moments warning. the walls gave away
with a tremendous noise, and the trenerai
and a small negro boy were crushed under
an immense pile of bricks, mortar, ana
large timbers.
PANIc-SrBIcKEN.
For few seconds it seemed that every
one was panc-stricken, but as soon rs tho
dense dust cleared away the cry went up
that General Early was under the dsbris,
and some two or three hundred citizens.
both white and colored, collected anu
commenced TO remove tho pilo and hunt
for what they expected to be the lifeless
remains of General Early.
IHE OLD HERO RESCUED.
After fifteen or twenty minutes lard
work they heard the Generals voice under
the wreck and ten fnln"tes lhteF tne.
dragged him out, and as soon as be stood
on his feet a wild shout went up from the
immense crowd. aud although badly
bruised and crushed the General raised his
hat in recognition OF the sympathy OF the
people.
SAVED BY DOOR, AND wINDow-ERsMEs.
The fortunate circumstances that saved
his life was that he was standing very neal
the door of the building when the walls
gave way, and some of the timbers OF tht
door and windov-sills in falling torwarc
supported the immense pile OF ruins &c
that the General and the boy escaped th'
weight that would otherwise nave crushed
! out their lives.
NOT BADLY HURT.
The Generals face was badly cut, bu
otherwise he - not badly hurt, and the ne
gro boy had only two large bumps RAISED
on his head 10y falling bricks. One or TIVE
| other persons standing near at the time o
| the accident had narrow escapes, bu
were not BADLY hurt. 10 Is thought by al
that the Generals escape was only shor

HENRlCO'S CRIMINAL EXHIBIT.
Twelve Prisoners In the County Prison and
Several Out on Bail.

At this time there are twelve prisoners
confined IN the Henrico county Jail.
This is rather above the average number,
though smaller than it has been during the
last few months. There have been only
three or four important criminal cases IN
the county recently, but there have been a
great number of arrests for trivial cases.
Major Burwell, the colored jailer, said
Yesterday that his books show that twenty
three persons have been admitted and dis
charged from jail since the lst of Septem-
Der. In addition to the number now IN
prison there are several out on bail.
Among the latter are Tom Sully. charged
with the murder of the peddler Mox"
Rosdetcher. and j. W. Craddock. who is
charged with having attempted to wreck a
train on the Newport News division of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway. Craddock
has once been tried, but the jury failed to
aurep.
