THE CITYs CEMETERIES.

Controlling Them.

The Committee on Cemeteries met yestef-
day in the Council Chamber at o'clock,
and taking hacks set forth on a tour Of in
spcction of the various city cemeteries UNI
der their control.
gbe first visited was Shockoe Cemetery
the oldest one under municipal control, II.
Johns excepted, in the city. The cemetery
contains the dust Of generations that nave
long suce passed away. some OF the
graves are the resting places Of the most
illustrious men Richmond ever produced,
and whose names viii never Toe forgot
ten. The cemetery is now IN "a
sad plight. II reeks with weeds
and is OyergrOwn with vines, brlars ana
shrubs. IL presents an ugly appearance,
and shows plainly the marks Of neglect.
Lack Of means and an inadequate force,
are the alleged reasons for the condition Of
affairs Superintendent of the Poor, Mi.
Richard W. Carter, is an active officer;
does all he can to make things prcsentable,
but is 80 crippled by lack Of near

The cemetery is fun, and, in tact,
in some cases, as many rs three

GrlH.ss. chairman Of the committee,
('makes me sick 10 look at it, The chair
man will no doubt institute steps that Will
tend 10 alter the face Of affairs.
From ShOckOe the committee went Out
o. River View, which is the western boun-
diary Of Hollywood. This I'm the course OF
time will be one of the prcttiest cemeteries
in the south. The location is uncqualed
for beatty of surroundings, the grounds are
laid of skilnlly and with an eye 10 beauty.
The view is one that fastens the eye, ana
pleases the fancy. The sections are all
laid OIL, and finished. and at the next meet
ing of the committee, prices Will be agreed
upon, and the squares and sections placed
upon the market.
The committee then went out TO Oak
wood Cemetery, beyond the eastern limits
of the city. This cemetery Is pretty spot,
ornamented with natural growth of shade
trees. and admirably located Mr.. W.

and is strict in his attention 20 duty,
a fact readily disclosed in the neat appear
ance Ofeverything inside the cemetery limits.
The committee enjoyed a refreshing lunch.
Hospitality set forth by the keeper of Oak
wood, and afterwards made a visit through
the cemetery. and returned 10 the city about
; o'clock. MIR. Rowland Hill, an eX-mem-
her Of the committee, and City Clerk Ben
Il. August, accompanied the gentlemen on
the tour.

Assuming and decidedly sensational we'd
ding occurred I'm Odessa the other day. Mare
POgOrezky led his blushing bride 10 the
altar. When the Russian priest, or pope, as
he Is called. was preparing tO perform the
ceremony, Marc went out t. gct a drink.
saving that he would return in few mo.
ments. In his absence, however, hand
some young stranger approached the bride
and offered himself as a substitute. She inn
mediately accepted HIM, and the pope, who
was half drunk, never noticed the change.
The ceremony was performed. just then
Marc reappearcd, refreshed and ready for
matrim0ny. But when he found out what
had happened he proceeded at once TO paint
the church red. lie thrashed the bride
groom, slapped the bride, Knocked down the
iather-in-law, punched the pope, and kick

but as the ease involves question of ec-
