THE ANGLO MANIACs

We suppose every American community
has toadies principally occupied in the bust
ness Of aping tho manners and dress of
English snobs. We commend to them an
incident that the New York Sun reports as
occurring day or so back in New York.
Addie George Holmes. an Enghshman
employed in stable on east One-Hundred-
and-Twenry-second streat, kicked and beat
his wife so seriously that she said that she
would take poison. The quarrel originated
in the fact that Holmes had brought coun-
tryman to stay with him and the wife re-
belled against the extra work which this
individual made necessary for her. The
woman executed her threat and drank two
walls Of ammonia. Holmes looking on TO be
sure that she performed the job etfectually.
He was arrested, and. upon being asked in
court for IN explanation of his conduct. he

THE EARLY FRIDAY TIEB.
Loss tn the Various Buildings-No Clue Yet
ne to- the Origin.

Hare n fuckers planning mill, or what
was left of IL. corner of Main and Twenty
fourth streets, presented yesterday the
usual scene following such big, fierce
blaze as that which swept 1t out early tnas
morning.
The interior of the buildings the lumber
yard and the mica mills OF Mr.. 1raylor
were mass of ruins. tangle OF debris
was made up OF fallen walls. bent shaftIng,
melted bolts and machinery, burnt beams
and flooring. tin roofs, boilers ana engines
and in she {, wreck that was complete
Some lumber was left in the yard. Inc
walls left on the Observation-Disclosures lae
are badly cracked and looked very Dan
gerous 10 me. They should have prompt
attention.
The Richmond Stove Company had a
portion of the building on Twenty-fourth
and Main streets stored with stoves, and
they are piled topsy-turvy and covered with
water. bricks. beams and debris generally.
Messrs Anderson and Rennolds. at the
Office Of the company. estimate the damage
10 their goods at $4,000. They were July
covered by insurance.
The machinery in the planning and mica
mill is practically ruined. except perhaps
the boilers and engines. Mr.. Hare stated
yesterday morning that his safe was opened
and his books and papers found intact. The
insurance was $500 placed by Dir. }. Is.
Moore in different companies. Messrs. Hare

practicable moment
tried to find out something definite about
the origin of the fire. but without effect, AS
such sweep of the interior was made. and
so quickly did the flames burst forth from
all over the building at once. that there
seems little chance of locating its beginning.
1t was said that a man whom Mr.. Traylor
left there at o'clock Thursday night to
look after his property, went through with
q lantern atI1230 O'Clock. and, finding every
thing correct, went home.
This hardly seems possible, for at pre-

IT is not often that we agree with the
Virginia Sun, but we concur with it entirely
in its opposition to the Governor calling an
extra session of the Legislature. In its last
issue it says:
I'm the fair name of the Mother of States
men we beg the Governor to forbear call
ing an extra session of this unutterable
"botch."
We are very far from agreeing with the
Sun In thinking the Legislature "botch."
We think it was an excellent body of men
that will compare fsvorably with the Legis-
lature of any State in the Union. Never
theless there is no occasion for calling them
in extra SESSION and We hope the Governor
will continue to think SO.

Cleaning shooboe Geek

A corps OF hands under the direction Of
the City Engineering Department, are
earnestly at work cleaning Shockoe creek.
The merchants on Main street, near where
the creek passes under that thoroughfaIe,
have for the past few days complained OF
the foul odors arising from the stream. The
creek passes through a strip Of the city. from
Broad street to its mouth. which Is quite
thickIy populated. and in which many fami-
lies reside. Ii 10, therefore. most necessary
that the stream should be kept in such
condition as to give as little impurity to the
atmosphere % possible
Many OF the merchants who have estab-
lshments near the creek aver that many
cases OF malaral fever each summer can DO
traced TO the filth Of the stream.
Colonel Cutshaw has. however begun to
clean out the creek, and IN few days there
will be constant and rapid stream OF
water flowing. All of the distractions to a
proper flow are being removed speedily,
and it is the City Engineers desire TO rem
edy the evil just as soon as possible.

THE suggestion that immigration be en-
trely suspended during the cholera scare is
very sensible one. We may take all the
precautions we possibly can in this country
TO keep out the pest, but so long as foreign
immigration is unrestrictedly permitted we
will be in constant danger. There are a
great many who believe that our immigra-
ton laws are too liberal anyway; that our
present population is large enough to take
care of the future of the country and that
modification of laws relative to immigra-
ton would be decidedly beneficial under
any circumstances. This is very probably
true, but however beneficial restriction of
immigration would be under ordinary con-
ditions, it is imperative under these at
present existing.

ArToRNEY-GENEHAL MILLER says that if
the Presidents proclamation establishing
quarantine in all the ports of the United
States is ignored because of its infringe
ment upon the rights of the States. he
would be in favor of calling Congress in
special session to clothe the President with
the needed authority. That is a beautiful
opinion for the supreme law officer of the
United States to express. All the con-
crosses in the world could not give the
President such authority unless the States
were willing to surrender their consttu-
tional rights to that extent. Republicans
of all degrees seem to think that Congress
is all-powerful and that the Constitution is
nothing.

sumed very curious phase. Two years ago
che Democratic majority was $50 600; but now
the Democracy is running two fractional
tickets; the Republicans two, and the Peo-
pies party and Prohibitionists each one. So
Texas now has six tickets to choose from.
and the situation is decidedly mixed. The
regular Democracy. headed by Governor
Hogg however. will probably win. The
Third partyites have placed Judge Nu-
gent in the field. and are relying upon
