zens will do their part and this great
thing will be donel
There is such an institution in the city
Of Norfolk, which. from having started
I'm n small and humble way, has grown
in a few years to great proportions.
AS the constitution Of the Richmond
bows home has not yet been drawn up, l
will quote the following from that of the
Norfolk Home just to give an idea or
the work about TO be undertaken mere;
Section l. The object of the Home shah
be to shelter and protect those boys VINO
are destitute and homeless, TO furnish
them with food and lodgings, to impart
moral and religious instruction, to teach
them after working hours to read and
write. so far as may be practicable. and
otherwise to lead them from a Ire OF
vagrancy and penury TO habits OF Indus

This lovely scheme Of starting a boys
home in Richmond originated with the
"Boys' DO Good Society" of Monumental
church.
If was announced to the public Tor the
first time at a service for boys had at
that church on November 9th, and the
collection taken up at that service was
the first money received and deposited IN

An eyer-multiplYng number Of organi-

and intellectual tone Of the place (as

Perhaps the most important move

started is the latest. and because In the

This movement is to start in Richmond

YIRGINIA AND MARYLAND.

Colonel Bigger Tells of the Meeting of
the Committee from the Two States.
had a pleasant chat with Colonel John
Bell Bigger, the clerk of the joint com
mittco on the oyster boundary line ques-
ton between Virginia and Maryland on
yesterday. He had just returned from
Washington, where the committee held
it's sessions at the Metropolitan Hotel and
Ebbitt House, alternately, in joint as
sembly with the Maryland committee
appointed on the boundary line subject.
The joint meetings were well attended,
he told me. and deep interest in the i'm
portant question was shown by both the
committees. Colonel Bigger told me fur
Their that the views of the two commit
tees were so very much in opposition to
each other that the result of their con-
ference which has already been printed
in The Times, was somewhat anticipated.
The best Of feeling, however prevailed
between the members of the joint COM
mittees, and after the hours Of business,
there were many pleasant reunions going
far to cement the already strong ties
existing between the sister States Of
Maryland and Virginia.
Speaker Richard II. Cardwell Of the
Virginia House, and chairman Of the
joint committee, returned with Colonel
Bigger, and went straight home to his
farm in Henrico, so l could not find him.
The committees were blessed with beau
tiful weather all through their stay in
the nations capital.
Many visiting Virginians called to pay
their respects to the committee. One Of
the pleasant episodes Of the meeting Of the
joint committees. was a luncheon ten
dered the Maryland committee at the
Metropolitan Hotel by the committee from
Virginia. The crowning item on the bill
of fare was a fine Virginia ham, cooked
in Virginia style. The Marylanders espe-
cially enjoyed it in particular. The rest
of the menu embraced all seasonable de-

The national delegates as soon as chosen

that those selected be known to be true

ALaER.s WAR RECORD.
1t Seems to Be Sound With the Excep'

1t Seems to Be Sound With the Excep-
ception of Custer'e Charges.
DETROIT, Mich, March 14.-General
A.ger this morning made public his war
record. 1t includes great host of
official documents from army officers
warmly praising Alger and recommend
ing him for promotion, and along with
them is the report OF General Custer,
recommending the dismissal Of Alger
from service. The entire record is full
Of credit to Alger, with the single
exception OF the Custer document and
the Endorsements thereto. In contra
diction to the statements of Custer,
Alger's record shows that after the bat
tie of Bonneville he laid off on account
of illness, as he did also May %, 1854,
and August %. 1864. In each case,
however, he had the certificate of his
official surgeon to show that he was ill.
1t is true that in his last absence on
sick leave Custer did not respond to
the DOCTORS application for a sick
leave for Alger, but Alger has shown
Custer's motive by revealing the latter's
Intellectual attempt to induce Alger to
promote Clusters brother over the
heads of older officers. That Custer did
not always regard Alger as shirk, is
shown by various recommendations in
the earlier periods of the war, wherein
he praises Alger highly.

JUDGE LYNCH'S COURT.
SWIFT VENGEANCE VISITED ON A
WIFE MURDERER.
The Law Supplanted by Mob Violence at
Ozark, Mo.-A Prisoner Taken Out of
Court and Lynched-A Deputy Sheriff
Killed in Defending the Culprit.

KANSAS CRY, March 14.-Additional al
details of the lynching near Ozark, Mo-,
of John Bright, the wife-murderer, re-
ceived today, show that the affair was
unusually sensational also that another
death resulted besides Bright's. The
man had been captured and was being
given a preliminary trial. A mob of
hundred men quietly gathered around
the court house and sent in twenty-five
of their number to request that the
prisoner be turned over to them. The
presiding Judge pleaded that the law be
allowed to take its course, and Deputy
Sheriff Williams in charge of the man
suggested that it would be best to listen
to /he argument of the Judge, as he
(Villiams) intended to defend the pris.
gaer with his life. At the same time he
/1rew brace of revolvers. The specta-
tors in the court room, OF whom there
were number, Immediately began to
beat hasty retreat. A delegation from
the mob started toward the prisonerand
Williams raised his revolvers, but before
he coud shoot was himself shot through
the heart BY one Of the mob, dying in
stantly. The mob then took the pris-
oner across the street, and. without
giving him an opportunity to say word,
hung him in full view of the court where
he had been promised by the law fair
and impartial trial.
The county where the lynching oc-
Cured is wild with excitement. Young
Williams, the deputy shot by the mob,
was very popular, and nine Of the mob
which did the work. we're well identified.
This morning large posse, under the
guidance of the sheriff. started to arrest
these men. Sheriff Cook ia brave
man and will search until he finds the
men who killed his deputy. He will be
assisted by many people who, while
glad that Bright has been punished for
his crime, are wild over the killing of
Williams. When the posse meets the
members of the mob it is thought there
will be war.
