On the left side OF the skull OF the de-
ceased was an ugly scalp wound. which
extended from the forehead backwards
soihe liVe Inches. The wound had been
dressed. but the skull was fractured badly
the fracture being about seven inches i'm
length. In the post norton examination
IT was brought out that this fracture
caused Inflammation Of the brain.
koDfrt Lee testified that last Monday
morning he was sent TO the Petersburg
railroad for some iron, and that while
there a difficulty arose between deceased
and John Henry Price. He was on the
hind part OF Prices wagon, in the street
between the Petersburg depot and the
Union Passenger station. Prices wagon
tongue struck the rear part Of Browns
cart. Some words passed between the
TWO men. both OF whom got down off
their wagons about the same time.
Brown picked up a rock, which he held
IN his hand. and striking Price with his
INST several times, attempted TO strike him
with the rock. Price warded off the
blows. and with a piece Of iron. which he
took from fis wagon, struck Brown on
the head. The latter fell to the ground.
where he lay in an unconscious state I'M
I'll he was carried into the Petersburg
depot.
Nelson Lee testified that after Brown
was struck he lay on the ground for about
twenty minutes. when the ambulance ar
rived and carried him away. He heard
Price say that he was going to run into
Browns wagon If the latter didn't move.
Price had applied to the witness, who is
yard man at the Petersburg railroad
to make Brown move his cart, which the
latter did when Lee gave the order. The
witness was only few feet from the
scene of the difficulty, and was certain
that Brown struck the first lick.
These were the only witnesses exam
ined. The jury returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death on Janu-
airy 10. 1893 from the effects of a fracture
of the skull inflicted by John Henry

Major Lewis Ginter and Mr.. John Pope
have returned from New York, where
they went on business several days ago.
Plans for the Jefferson Hotel building
were TO have been submitted by the arch-
i;ects by January LIST. but for several
reasons the time has been extended ana
Il will probably be the LIST OF February
before they are all submitted.
Messrs. Poindexter q Bryant, OF this
city, have presented beautiful drawing
for the hotel on a 100000 scale, with
d seven-story Franklin and eight-story
Main-street front. Among the other we'll
known architects who are said 10 be pre-
pairing plans for the Jefferson are Messrs.
Carere * Hastings Of New York, Pom
dexter OF Washington. and Page OF Balti-
more. II is probable that there VIII be
others from New York. and one each from
Philadelphia and Atlanta
IL is understood that after all drawings
are in hand Messrs. Ginter and Pope VIII
invite several prominent and practical
business men, who have good ideas as 10
what the character OF the house should be
10 look over the plans and give their
Views. 1t Is hardly likely that the con
tract for the building viii be given out

A Praiseworthy Performance at the
Theatre.

Miss Lillian Lewis opened to a large
audience at the Richmond Theatre last
evening in Lady Lii" romantic drama.
The house would have been completely
filed had the weather and walking been
more propi ious. The play 5 one OF con-
tinued interest. and is full of strong
lines and strong situations. 1t is almost
terrible in its realism.
The plot was well conceived and well
carried out TO a legitimate end. At no
time is the spectator in doubt as TO the
purpose Of the characters. This abundant
showing Of the cause and effect of human
passions deity blended with character
istic bits of humOr made the performance
an absorbing one. The story begins at
the point when Lady Lii is the star bare
back rider in a winter circus. and in the
course of the performance appears IN her
costume as a bareback rider.
Miss Lewis is a very strong actress,
and gives the title role a fire and vigor
that drew from the audience last evening
spontaneous applause. Some Of the scenes
were splendid, and showed the very acme
Of artistic work. She is q beautiful
woman Of the queenly type, and the
costumes are magnificent.
The number of brilliant uniforms, the
handsome garments and the excellent sup
port Miss Lewis received from Mr.. w.
A. Whitecar and other members of the
cast served TO produce play worthy of
study and interest Of all theatre-goers.
A detachment from the Walker Light
Guards during the second act gave
well-executed drill. going through the
manual Of arms in a pleasing manner.
the performances to-day-matinee and
eVening-are for the benefit Of the Guards,
inasmuch as on every ticket sold by them
a percentage is made. Citizens can assist
THEM by buying tickets at Ramos or
from officers of the Guards. Lady LIZ
will be played at both performances.

TIE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, Introduces .
Resolution in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 13.-Mr.
Morgan to-day introduced in the Senate
the following resolution. which went over
without action until tomorrow. when Mr..
Morgan will address the Senate on the
subject:
Resolved. That the Committee on Com
merce is instructed to inquire and report
to the Senate the advantages IL any.
that will accrue 10 the productions, in
dustres. coastwise, and OF the general
commerce. immigration and other inter-
ests of the United States. by means OF
additional facilities In transportation, and
the reduction OF the cost thereof. that
would be afforded by the building OF a
ship canal to connect the waters OF the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans through Lake
Nicaragua.
For two years past the Committee on
Foreign Relations have been investigat-
ing the subject, and the well-known
friendship OF Mr.. Morgan for the project
led to expressions OF surprise that he
should seek to transfer the inquiry from
the committee of which he is so able a
member to the Committee on Commerce.
When asked about II, the senator said
that the Committee on Foreign Relations
had only looked into the matter from a
political standpoint. and had considered
the relations OF the project to other
governments, together with the proposed
cost Of the work and the difficulties OF
engineering that presented themselves.
The Committee on Commerce know the
commercial value Of the canal better,
he thought, than any other committee.
and 1t was for the purpose of making the
scope of the inquiry as wide as possible
and throwing as much light as could be
upon the advantages of the Nicaragua
canal that he suggested an investigation
in this direction. With such information
before the American people, Mr.. Morgan
said he could not see how any wise man
could put a stumbling block of any kind
in the way OF project so fraught with
vital Importance to the people OF this
