QUESTION OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.
The question of where these parties stood and
their distance apart at the time of the shooting
was of vital importance. How were they to
ascertain it? They should be allowed to prove
that distances from o muzzle of gun or pistol
were indicated by the marks Of powder.
They desired to exhibit the results of experi-
ments with pistol exactly the same to show
the marks made upon white surfaces Gen.
Grosvenor read the testimony and decision in a
Pennsylvania case where experiments were
proved showing the effect of the powder from
pistol shots at various distances.
Science, he said. had been brought to the aid
Of the legal profession; it demonstrated the
effect OF pistol Shots of falling slate, as in the
mine case referred to. OF faulty construction of
railroads or locomotives. They knew that pow
der exploded from pistol blackened the OBJ
ject in front.
NIB. cLAoErT's REPLY.
Mr.. Clagett in replying to Gen. Grosvenor.
said the question in the Ward case was
whether ball striking an iron column would
go in a certain direction. He saw no analogy
between that and the present case Here II
was proposed to prove that a man firing pistol
not the pistol used by Kincaid--at q piece of
white paper would show how far or near a man
would have to stand from the muzzle of a pis-
toll in order that powder marks should show
He claimed that this was not a matter for ex-
pert testimony. 1t was case coming within
common knowledge, and which q jury could
determine for themselves ~ veil Is experty
could do for them.
Mr.. Cole in his argument referred to the ex-
periments made with sheets of glazed paper az
not bearing on this case. The question. he
said, involved the hardness or the softus1 Of
the paper; also of the softnes or hardnsss of
TauIbee's skin.
Mr.. Wilson in his reply spoke Of the impossi-
biiity Of making experiments with living man.
LoRIs NOT An ExPKRr.
Judge Bradley in passing upon the points
raised said there seemed to be two questions
involved, one being tho competency Of proof
to the independent fact Of the effect Of the
firing at piece Of paper. Such an independ-
ent offer as that, II seemed 70 tho court,
was clearly inadmissible, IL having no
relation whatever TO the ISSUES here.
It seemed TO the court sbsoluteIy
impossible to make such experiments under

CONNECTION TRACK.

The recent resolution Of the Chamber OF
Commerce recommending the presentation
of petition TO the Common Council asking
for the repeal Of the ordinance requiring the
dIsuse, after certain date, Of steam on the
connection track in this city, so far as that
ordinance relates to passenger trains, is
endorsed by the general sentiment Of the
people of Richmond. Those who reside I'M
mediately upon TING line OF the track quite
naturally object 10 the annoyances which
IL causes; but these annoyances Will be
very materially diminished when the freight
trains are removed.
The best interests Ofthe city undoubtedly
REQUIRE the retention Of the track until
other arrangements shall be made by the
fredericksburg road for the transit OF It's
passe niger trains from the point Of its pre-
sent entrance into the city TO the Union
depot. ANY plans with this object IN view
must necessarily be more or less Indefinite
We trust yet TO see the day when there VIII
be one grand Union depot in Richmond APP
preached both by way Of the James kiVer
division of the Chesapeake and Ohio, ana
~ a tunnel under Eighth street.
In whatever way this desirable end shaii
be reached in the course Of time, there can
be no question that in the interval kch-
mond would gain little and lose much by
compelling the practical disruption OF the
existing railroad track that connects Broad
and Byrd streets. 1t is to be hoped there
fore, that the Common Council will recon-
slider the ordinance referred to- and amend
II in the imp ortant particular upon which
we have been dwelling.

three colored convicts and four white died,
the number OF deaths in the prison hospi'ai
amounting 10 twenty eight, and the numper
on public works TO nine.
The ages OF the convicts received during
the last fiscal year range from twelve 10
seventy, there being tive respectively AZ
these extremes. Three hundred and twenty
Of the ass conyicts received during this
period were under tsenty-seven years OF
age. One hundred and tventy-one were
sentenced for two years, 6ity-six Tor h'e

There were three children remaining IL

In conclusion, it is gratifying to s'a''
that under the new law the convcis hired ou
are self-sustaining. and the earnings o
those who are confined in the prison ar
increasing. showing a net gain TO the ION

GENERAL LEES BIRTHDAY.

Tomorrow will be the anniversary OF the
birth OF General Robert +. Lee, the peerless
yirginian, who in the late war between
the States, led the forces Of the South IA
their unequcl fight against the world ioI
the maintenance Of State sovereignty
and the rights OF the South NJ
guaranteed by the Constitution Of the
United states. Though after srug-
gle of years, in which history presents
no parallel for heroism and yslor, the sOuth
was forced 10 yield 10 overwhelming num-
ber.. the immortal hero, Lee, emerged from
the conflict with uniainished escutcheon
and with enduring laurels which will be
kept green and undying so long as the
world shall last, and men shall revere
everything that is pure and noble IN human
character.
The Legislature Of Virginia has made the
birthday Of Lee a public holiday, and, as
such, it will be appropriately observed. In
accordance with the law, Governor Nc
Kinney has ordered all the public offices
the state closed and Mayor Ellyson has Is
sued proclamation, which was published
In THE TIMES OF yesterday, requesting the
business houses Of the city to observe the
day in a manner BETTING its importance.
1t is TO be hoped that the recommends

unite In making this memorable oc.
casion. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans
has prepared an interesting programme
intending TO mark this a day above all
Others In the calendar Of Virginia and the

doubt, be fully imbued with the spirit
OF the occasion. So far as the
South is concerned no anniversary o.

Ricbmond's Advantages.

We have often pointed with pride to the
advantages offered by Richmond, with her
noble James and her seven hills, both resi-
Dental and industTially. Richmond has
grown, but at the same time she has not put
forth her strength and energy to develop
and take hold Of the many and vast oppor-
tunties now being offered in a special
manner to all Southern cities.
There seems to have been clinging TO
past ideas and methods. our people seem
TO have concluded that twas well enough
for cities and towns in other portions OF the
State 10 wake up and shake themselves out
of the lethargy that had been binding them
down while old Nature was full and run
ming over, and was only waiting for the
pick and shovel TO reveal herself and show
to the world the vast possibilities awaiting
the hand OF energy and industry; but, as
We have often said, it would not do for us
to sit idly by when all the State was moving
on 10 the front.
We had been indulging In the hope that
some of our leading and most enterprising
men would make move in the direction Of
Offering inducements other than those so
lavishly conferred upon us by nature, but
we have been Outwitted and surprised, for
from a source we were not expecting il we
are asked TO turn our eyes east ward and
behold free sites for factories by the hun
dred.
Well, we looked and we investigated, add
we must say the more we consider the mat
ter the more we are surprised, for right in
our midst nature has again aided man in
his prOgressiy career. We point with
pride to East Richmond, and after the plan
Of deyelOpmcTN having been so plainly and
forcibly presented TO US, and knowing the
energy and push Of the men at the head OF
the company, we can look forward to an
era of prosperity for East Richmond that
will rival anything that has taken place in
the State.
Now let us say TO those who have money
10 invest. In the past year cur money has
been flowing out OF the city by the hundreds
OF thousands OF dollars. This was all right I;
but now the same opportunities ere offered
at home, and let us embrace them, tor the
investment Is one of the best ever offered,
and that benefits East Richmond will
benefit the whole city. We are satisfied
that nothing but the greatest success awaits
the enterprise, and Richmond people should
take hold at once, or the controlling inte-
rest will be secured by people away from
home.
The Office of the company is at 9Ol east
Main street.
The enterprising young real estate firm OF
Harrison & Powers have just flushed a
thorough renovation Of their office, 1913 east
Main street. and now have one OF the most
attractive Offices In the city. These young
men are building up first-class business
by their pleasant and courteous manners
and always strict attention 10 business.
They are a thoroughly alive arm. exceed

action with them 10 always glad 10 have the

REPORT ON rENIrsNrIARY.

We are in receipt OF the annual report oil
the Board OF Directors of the Virginia ZEN
itentiary for the fiscal year ending sep'cm-
her 3Oth. 1890. A brief reference to some OF
.he details of this report Will not be unln-
teresting.
Far instance, we learn from ito contents
,,a, there were at the close Of the fiscal
wear 9ss convicis in the peni.entiary prison
and 25l hired out to various companies en-
g.,ed in constructing railways in different
nsrts Of the state. making in all ], 1872 con-
xicts In the custody of the State authori-
ties or their recognized agents. VI this
number, 45s were received in the course OIL
the last fiscal year.
Referring 10 the sex aud race OF the con-
ylcts. we mud that there are 2ll white ana
AZ colored men and white ana
on eolored women. The gross cost OF feed
ing. clothing and guarding the average
number OF prisoners in the penltenuafy Is
in the course OF each year, $Oi,eSS, 'his
amounting to s6s.Ss per capita per year or
sis.7S gross per day.
Ofthe number Of prisoners received dur
the fiscal year ending september Soth, one
four,h OF the whites are from the cities
while the blacks from the cities amount 10
one.tbird OF their number. over one-haii OF
the colored female conyicts are from the
cities. a fact which Is probably to be attrio-
u,ed to the greater facility in arresting and
puuishing those whs are guilty OF crimes IN
town.
Ofthe conyicts received at the peniten-
tiary 10 the period referred 10, the largest
number were committed for house-oreaking,
namely. 1871. This is nearly twice as great
ns the number committed for malicious as
sault. which stands third on the list, grand
larceny standing second, with seNeniy-eigh,
eommittals. Only one convict in the same
pericd OF time was committed for inian-
t,cide. one of the most common OF all crimes
nj the present time especially among the
individuals Of the negro race.
