ENLARGE THE LocOMoTIvE-WoRks.
The Company Asks Charter Authorizing
Them to Guarantee Stock.

Just before the adjournment OF the Sen
ate Yesterday MIR. Lovenstein introduced q
bill TO incorporate the Richmond Equip
ment and Security Company.
Under suspension of the rules the bill
was placed on the calendar, and efforts Will
be made TO have it passed as speedily as
possible. as it is desired TO make use OF the
privileges asked at once.
The corporators are Messrs. William H..
Palmer, William r. Irigg, j. j. Montague,
II. A. Lancaster, T. William Pemberton.
Thomas Atkinson, and Norman V. Ran
dolph.
The minimum capital stock is to be
$500 900 and this may be increased to an
amount not exceeding $4,000. 900.
Tho bill practically converts the Rich
mond Locomotive and Machine-Wo
Company into q new organization and en-
larges its powers. It's chief object is to
authorize the company to acquire the i'm
provement bonds issued by various rail-
road companies and TO guarantee the same.
This puts the Richmond plant on the same
footing with other large establishments OF
the kind in the North and enables 1t to
successfully compete with them IN e1-
ecuting large contracts.
Mr.. Wyndham X. Meredith, counsel for
the company, told Dispatch reporter who
saw him yesterday afternoon that the pas
sage Of the bill Will mean an enlargement
of the company's works and the employ
ment of many-perhaps several hundred
more operatives.

Pleasant Entertainment by tho Boys OF
st, Mary'B Schools.

On Monday night the children of st.
Mary's Parochial and High schools gave
an entertainment in st. Nary's Hall before
a large audience. The boys Of the paro;
chial school rendered thirteen German and
English choruses, the words of which they
had committed to memory. Two class
recitations and recitations for one. two,
and more children were given during the
evening. The high-school pupils gave
two PLAYS: Scene in an Editors Once"
in one act, and Catching the Train" In
three acts. They deserve special credit,
Between the different numbers the
Misses Florsheim played several piano
duets in q highly pleasing manner.
The entertainments closed with O tableau
in honor of the Immaculate Virgin, during
which the united boys and girls choir
sang the beautiful song Our Queen I'm
maculate.n The pretty scenery recently
painted by one of the Benedictine Fathers
added greatly to the appearance OF the
stage.
Perhaps the feature of the evening was
the class recitation, 1.-The American Flag, /"
and the national hymn, My Country, It's
of Thee" The boys all had United States
flags. and the song was rendered IN excel
lent style.
The entertainment was a great success in
every respect. The Benedictine Fathers
and the teacher of the parochial boys
school were highly complimented and con-
pratulated.

cessive administrations of Democrats and

Salvini's Return.

Signor Salvini will open his engagement
at tho Academy tonight in Othello. Pro-
badly the attribute that raises Salvini 10 a
height above all his fellows is his wonder
ful versatility-that rare gift that made
Garrich famous. and which enables an ac-
tor to identify himself with every new cha
racter instead of identifying each new cha
racter with himself.
Salvinis Othello IL known from conti-
nent TO continent, but his Samson is new TO
the citizens of Richmond. In this play he
made the greatest sensation of the season.
The northern papers describe it as superior
to Forests MetamOra.
On Thursday evening Alexander salyini:
