Mr.. Crawford says that owing TO the de-
velopment Of the existing Russian RAILWAYS.
and to the construction of new lines. the de-
nands Tor rails have greatly increased ut all
the rail rolling mills of European Russ n.
Therefore the construction of new mills is
very desirable. especially in Siberia None Of
the mills now existing in that country are a5le
to turn ont the necessary quantity OF rails in
a certain Rod. Therefore the proposition
of the Bogoslovsk metalIurgical district to
build rall rolling mill has been accepted
with the sanction of the Gar by the com

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

The Charlottesville Progress
gives the following account Of the
shockingc crime on Richmond and
Danville train there Thursday of
last week:
Just as the northbound tram on
the Richmond and DanvilIe road
reached the Union Station this az
ternoon at 4 81 o'clock, the passen-
gers in the frst.class coach were
startled by the report of a pistol
and the sight of pretty young
woman falling to the floor with
what promises TO be fatal wound
in her left eye.
The lady was Miss Laura E..
Martin, daughter OF Mr.. Hudson
Martin, of Faber's Mills, Nelson
county, assistant clerk OF the Nir-
GINA Senate. Standing over her
with smoking pistol in his hand
was q weIl.dressed gentleman,
who as some passengers gathered
about him, placed the pistol to his
own temple. Bat as he pulled the
trigger his arm was caught and
the ball passed through bis hat.
Again he attempted his own life
with the same result.
Mr.. Charles T. Brown, of Dan
Vile, who had been seated with
Hiss Martin, and who was leaving
the seat as the shot was fired, Crap
pied the stranger and dlsarmed
him.
Miss Martin was placed on a
on a stretcher and taken TO the
Hotel Carter. DR.. Dabney and
others are examining the wound
as this report closes. The report
is in general terms that the wound
is of a nature to excite the graveSt
fear.
Guard is now ia Jail. He refus-
ed in language more fOrcible than
polite to give any information
whatever as to his motive, or even
to disclose the lady's name.
No motive is assigned, but 1t

rejected by Hiss Martin and took
this method of revenge. He IS
