THE CAUSE OF THE RUNAWAY
Mention was made yesterday of q runa-
way accident at the funeral of a color
ed girl named Ida Coles. The runaway
occurred at the intersection of Duke
and Henry streets, and was caused by
wheeling locomotive which was
standing in the middle Of the street,
Serious accident and probably loss of
life was barely averted. 1t is suggest.
ed that when corteges are passing To-.
comotives should be kept in the yard
and not made a menace to life and
limb. Years ago it was custom when
funerals were passing the depot to run
the yard engine into an encloure which
completely hid it from the horses at
tached to the hesrse and carriages.

AS has been heretofore stated Super
intendent of Schools Kemper will: hold
his examination for the white teachers
of schools on August 9th and 7th, and
for colored teachers on the 9Th and 9th
inst. Mr.. Kemper has decided to re-

hold first grade certificates without
further examination, and as many
white teachers attended the normal
school at Charlottesville and nearly all
the colored teachers were present
at the sessions of the normal institute
which closed in this city day or two
ago, and are therefore entitled to re-
newal of their certificates without Elk.

ATTAcHatENT,-Mr. W. II. Thaler
has levied an attachment or the chairs,
&C., in the grand stand at the st. Asaph
track, which are claimed by Mr.. h. D.
Mcintyre, for debts due by Mcintyre
to Thaler and others for $350.50. When
Mr.. Mcintyre severed his connection
with the st. Asaph track he entered
suit against the Virginia Jockey Club
for several thousand dollars which he
claimed to be due him for services, and
in his bill which he filed in stopping
money belonging to the club, in the
hands of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, he claimed that the chairs
at the st. Asaph track belonged to him.
Mr.. Thaler has now levied on these
chairs to secure the debt which he
claims Mr.. Mcintyre owes him.

TRANSFERRED TO RIcRMoND.-Rev.
Fl. J. Cutler, who for the past fou
wears has been pastor of St. Mary s
Church in this city, has been trans
ferred to ST. Peters Cathedral in Rich
mond. Father Cutler mas also been
made Vicar General of the State Ia
place of Rev. Father Frioli, who, on
account of ill-health, is to be sent to
Old Point TO take the place of Rev. j..
J. Bowler, who is to take Father Gut
ler's place here. Father Bowler arrived
here Yesterday, where he is we'll
known, he at different times having
had charge of the church at
Manassas, Gordonsville and those
at other places in this vicinity.
Rev. Father Cutler was assigned
to St. Mary's Church in May, 1891.
and during his stay in this city he has
become greatly esteemed by his flock,
while he has made many friends among
those outside his own communion; hence
there is no little regret at his removal.
He left here to-day for Baltimore in
company with Mr.. Edward German.
From that city they will go to Rich.
mond by water. There will be special
meeting of the Young Mems Sodallty
Lyceum to night to take action in re-
