Institution Investigation.

The Special Committee CT the Legislature
which has been laboriously engaged for some
time in the investigation of the charges against
the officers of the D. D. & B. Institution, is
now taking testimony in Richmond, and it Is
supposed that it will get through this week
and be able to make its report to the Legisla-
ture by the last of the week. The report is
awaited with impatient interest. The Com
mittee will have difficult job to sift the mass
of testimony and arrive at just conclusion,
as great part of it is wholly unreliable, and
that which has basis of truth is greatly ex-
aggerated. The Committee is conceded to be
good one, composed of able and honest men,
and will make an honest report to the best OF
their ability. That there report will be salts
factory to all parties is not to De expected.
There is no school or corps of teachers
whose regulations could not be ruined by the

Take the testimony of every pupil who hat
been at the school at any time, who had, o.

He has been very ill, but his physician now

The religious meetings, conducted by

Hostility to railroads has always
been one Of the cardinal principles OF
the Populists, and Kansas exemplifies
in a remarkable degree the evils aris-
ing from such reckless antagonism
when crystalized into legislative en-
actments. From the recent reports OF
the Railway Commissioners of that
State, it appears that there has been a
decline of SIC, 900, 600 in the gross re-
ceipts, that only two companies paid
even nominal dividend, and that
thirteen are in the hands of receivers.
This from an official source is start
ling commentary on this popular
phase of communism, and there is nc
telling how far minor industries have
been affected. Instead of encouraging
capital, this narrow policy drives II
away, and it is we'll nigh impossible to
trace the evil to it's end. Large cor
porations perhaps need watching, but
their power for good or bad depends
largely on the treatment they receive
and it is suicidal to all interests tt
press them to this extreme.-No7Jolh

Va, Mrs. Kate Moore, wife OF Hon. J. b.
Moore, for several years member OF the
Legislature from that county, departed TINS
life after brief illness. Mrs. Moore was the
daughter of VIM. Curry, Esq, who for more
than twenty-five years held consecutively the
Offices of clerk of the circuit and county
courts of that county. She was one OF the
most lovable women we ever knew; beauti-
full in person and character, and her sad and
untimely death has in it not only that pang
which death always brings, but.the family
which was growing up about her, and whose
characters were being moulded by one of the
sweetest, gentlest and purest mothers chill
dren ever had, have in moment lost the
greatest treasure earth possesses. We extend
our sympathy to her friends, and our friends
in their affection.

The joint funeral from Leigh-Street Baptist
church, at o'clock Thursday afternoon, OF
Mrs. Mary J. Foster and Miss Irene B. Sand
erlin, was one of the saddest obsequles wit
messed in Richmond for many years. These
were the ladies who came to their death while
crossing the tracks of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway, just north of the city, on Wednesday
morning. They were driving in laundry
wagon, when an incoming passenger train
crashed into their conveyance, killing both.
