THE PENlTENTIARY FARM.
Governor OFerrall Is VOL Pleased Will
His yisitto That Institution.

Governor OFerrall left yesterday even
ing for a tour Of inspection of the PEN
itentiary farm at Beaver Dam. Goochland
county, on the James River Division OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway. The
Governor was accompanied by the Board
of Directors of the penitentiary, co...
ssting of Messrs. +. +. Glasgow. W. j.
Chesterman. and VIM. s Gum. Superih-
tcndent y. w. Lynn. Colonel Charles r.
Wingo, and Mr.. Davis. president OF the
Bay State Shoe Company, who have the
contract for making shoes In the penal
institutions of this state. The party
went in the directors car of the railway
company where. also, dinner was served.
Governor OFerrall expressed himself
last night as highly pleased with the re-
suit of his trip. lie stated that the party
rode over the entire farm Of 800 acres. and
became convinced that the State made n
great bargain IN purchasing that properly
for the sum of $1,000. Besides these go
acres, the State also acquired little over
a hundred acres of detached timber land
The entire property is in first-class con-
dition. and 1t is planted in corn, pototoes,
onions kale, peas. and other vegetables.
which are being used I'm the maintenance
and support of the penal institution.
Plows were running at the time, and In
another section convcts were kept busyin
hoeing corn. The grounds are pretty well
cleared. so that a convict would have TO
run quite distance in order 10 make his
escape, and the guards, who are around
with Winchester rifles, would have
good opportunity to prevent any runaway.
There are at present 40 short-term
convicts located on the farm, but In order
TO relieve the penitentiary as much as
possible. IL is intended 10 increase that
n
barracks on the grounds will therefore
be enlarged.
Captain NJ. l.. Van Doren. the supern-
tendent of the farm. Is considered 10 be
the right man in the right place, and 10
his faithful service is largely due the
present excellent condition of the peniten-
tiary farm.

PLUNGED TO HIS DEATH.
Del r.ous Convict Leaps From a Third
Story Neranda.

most unfortunate tragedy occurred
at the penitentiary yesterday morning,
for which no one Is 10 blame. one OF the
conyicts, c0lored man named Michael
Motley, had been III with fever for quite
a while. His case was a very serious one,
and the patient was at times extremely
I'll. All the usual attentions were given
him at the hands OF the prison surgeon,
and he was carefully nursed In the hos
pital. He became suddenly delirious yes
terday morning, and was left alone a
short time. The door % his room was left
open. This communicated with veranda,
three stories from the ground.
without any notice to any one In tho
vicinity Of the patients room, he delbe-
rately got up from his couch, rushed out
on the yeranda, and plunged over before
any one knew what he was up 20.
Several people ran 10 the unfortunate
mans assistance, and efforts were made
in vain TO revive him. lie died almost in
stantly.
The affair, while deeply regretted by the
prison authorities. was one of those unfOr-
tunate occurrences for which no one was
responsible.

Y. NJ. c. A BOAT CLUE.
Difference OF Opinion as TO the Value of lite
i. operiy.

The members of the Boat Club of the
Young Mems Christian Association held
called meeting in the parlor of the As
ISOLATION building last evening. Some
time ago the club appointed a committee
10 submit to the board OF directors OF
the Association a proposition TO sell the
boat house and its contents outright to
the club. The board OF directors con-
sidered the matter, and Mr.. John Morton,
the presidentaof the Association, was re-
quested to address the club on the sub
jet.
\ meeting OF the boat club was called
for that purpose two weeks ago. and 1t
was attended by quite a large number OF
the members Mr.. John Morton was pres
ent, but did not deem the attendance
large enough TO submit the wishes of
the board, and at his request, the meet
ing was postponed for one week. until
last night a week ago. In the mean
time, Mr.. Morton had called a meeting Of
the board OF directors TO take some fur
Their action IN the premises. That meet
ing did not materialize. for the lack Of
a quorum and IL had to be postponed
until last Monday evening
The members of the boat club assembled
last night a week ago, but none of the
directors put in an appearance. nor did
they send any information whatsoever 70
the club. After they had held their
meeting on last Monday. the members
Of the boat club were given to under
stand that If another meeting Of the club
would he called. the action of the board
would be announced at that gathering,
either by Mr.. Merton or Secretary Tib-
bits.
At the meeting of the club last night
Mr.. Tbbitts was on hand to represent
the board. lie read part of the minutes
of the directors meeting. setting forth
that the board deemed IL in the interest
of the Association to exercise direct con-
troll over the boat club. and the board
therefore elected two Of its members
Mcssrs. George y. Sydnor Jr., and Mr.
William c. West-president and treasurer
Of the club while the other officers Of
the latter organization were endorsed.
After some little discussion, several
members Of the boat club rendered their
designations. and II was also stated
that other designations would follow in
a day or two.
As TO the proposition of the club TO
buy the property from the board of di-
rectrs. Mr.. Tibbitts read another resolu-
ton adopted by the board. naming the
sum of $500 as the price for which the
property might be purchased.
The club finally decided to request three
competent gentlemen. who are disinterest-
ed in the matter. and fully understand
the value of the class of boats in ques-
ton. TO appraise the value of the prop
erty. and whatever amount they shah
consider a fair estimate will be submit
ted 10 the board of directors as a coun-
ter offer.
II is understood that steps will be taken
al once for the organization OF an in
dependent boat club.
