Col. INGERsOLL AT RICHMOND
The audience that heard Col. Robert
Ingersoll's sensational lecture "Whst
must we do to be saved ?" at the Rich
mond Theatre last night was much
smaller than it would have been but for
the earnest appeals that several local
ministers made to their congregations
not to 80 and hear the great agnostic.
A half dozen pastors alluded to the lee.
ture Sunday in terms of the strongest
condemnation, and yesterday afternoon
the clericus, which embraces all the
Episcopal clergy of that city, had quite
an animated disc ussion over the infidel
and his views. 1t being too late for
any action to prove effective, none was
taken, but Col. John Murphy, the own
or of the theatre, and Manager Thorn
as G. Leath were censured by several
of the preachers for allowing the anti
Christian lecture to be delivered in that
house.
1t was proposed 10 offer prayer for
lngersoll as was done when he was
there last year, but one of the promi-
nent members of the clericus thought
the pastors would be in more prayful
mood when they had gotten home, and
the joint invocation was not offered.
One of the ministers cited ease in
town in Canada in which Ingersoll was
billed to speak, and the Christian PEG
pie ofthe city entered such strong
protest against it that the Mayor of the
place forbade his speaking there. a
movement was quietly put on foot in
Richmond to try and prevent the deliv-
of the lecture, but it was found to be
futile, and was abandoned,

By the explosion OF a boiler in the box

lug five men were instantly killed and
two others MORALLY injured. The
shock OF the explosion shook the whole

leave families in Strengthened circum-
stances.
A later dispatch says another body

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette.l
CULPEpER, Va, Dec. 1.-THE case
ofthe Commonwealth against Dr.. Shad-
rach for misdemeanor engros5ed the
entire time of the County Court to-day
and to say that it has caused vasi
amount of interest, would convey but
an inadequate idea of the deep feeling
pervading the whole community as to
the ultimate result of the trial. To
think that one of Culpeper's brightest
and most promising young professional
sons should be confronted in the very
outset of life with so grave and serious
charge as a misdemeanor against the
laws of the Commonwealth was well
calculated to stir the feelings of the
better classes te the very depths
The Hon. John F. Rixey. Of the firm
ofRixey & Barbour, thought that upon a
proper and full understanding of the
whole matter everything seemingly so
harsh and unreasonable could be fully
and satisfactorily explained away and,
with that objectin view, he essayed the
task of making the crooked straight and
by his mastery diplomacy brought or
der out of chaos and succeeded in salts
flying all parties, and the court recog-
nizing that the law had been fully salts
fed, did not hesitate to order the indict-
ment satisfied, much to the satisfaction
of the prosecution and the public gen.
orally.
Our town, owing TO the open weather,
has added quite number of new stores
and dwellings to her growing import
ance and soon will be city in dimen-;
sions.

sufficient, the simple fact that no
conceivable authority, not even in the

itin the Constitution, is all that to most
right thinking people is required to

about the affair is, that among its sup

matters are concerned, profess them
selves, and really seem to be, strict con-
structionists.

there, though he is a self confessed per-

THE FACT that the bid of an Ameri-
can contractor for armor plate for the
Russian government was accepted be-
cause it was lower than that of either
his English, French or German competi-
tors, proves conclusively that the pro-

necessary for the maintenance of the
iron industry in this country, has no
substantial basis. All that the manu-
features of this country now need to
enable them to compete successfully
with those of all other parts of the
world, is the old democratic principle OF
free trade.
