WASHINGTON, ID. c.. February Co.
Jackson City, Va, at the Virginia end
OF the Long bridge, leading across the
Potomac from Washington to the old
Dominion. a place which for long time
has been the resort of thieves and tho
lower element that follows the race
track, was tonight the scene OF traye-
dy, in which one man was killed and
three were wounded.
Six deputies of Sheriff Palmer, of Alex
andria county made raid upon a sa-
loon kept by John Nelson. They expected
70 find stolen property and gambling
paraphernalia. AS the posse entered the
place Nelson became aware OF their In
tention and Immediately began firing.
Harry Chandler the bartender, follow
ed his employers example. and fusil-
lade Of bullets met the officers. About
twenty or thirty people were i'm the "a.
loon at the time, but fed. The attack OF
Nelson and his bartender took the on
GERS unawares. and before they could
draw their weapons Special-Deputy Ben.
jamin Hines (coloredD was instantly kill.
ed, Special-Deputy Johnson was shot IN
the neck and Deputy Ed. Deuterman re-
ceved a bullet in the chin. which laid
him PROSTATE.
Charles ONeill. known as "Peg'
O'Neill, by reason OF his having a wood.
en- leg. who was a hanger-on at the sa.
loon, came TO the assistance Of the posse.
and received a bullet in the eye from tina
pistol of Nelson.
Nelson and Chandler fed. and the
wounded men were brought TO the Emer-
gency Hospital, in Washington, whers
they received medical attention The bull
let was extracted from Johnson's neck
and lONeills eye. Deuterman seemed
the worst injured but the physicians do
not look for fatal results in either case.
Illness body was left In the saloon fos

The saloon-keeper was so active In
using his weapons that the Sherins poses
were able to make very little showing
In their raid upon the law-breakers.

PARDON REFUSED REDwIyE.
His Alleged Ill Health Not Such as
to Justify His Release.

WASHINGTON, d. c, February "
President Cleveland to-day refused to
grant a pardon to Louis Redwine. the
young society man OF Atlanta, Ga, con-
victed of embezzlIng funds OF a national
bank by which he was employed and
sentenced January r. 1894, TO six years
imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary, at
Columbus. In denying the pardon the
President says the sentence was not
severe one. and he sees nothing TO entltle
the convict to clemency. The representa-
tions as to Redwine's Ill health do not,
Mr.. Cleveland says. justify his release at
this time. The endorsements Of Redwine's
application for clemency set forth that
his health is in precarious state.

JOHANNESBURG. February 20.-The
dynamite explosion at Viedendorp, a
suburb of this city, last night was re-
markably disastrous. A hole thirty feet
deep was made in the ground, and every
house within a radius OF half a mile was
razed to the ground Two hundred In
jured persons have been taken 10 the hos
pitals. where several of them have died.
Comparatively few white persons were
killed
As yet nothing is positively known as
to what actually caused the explosion.
Twenty tons OF dynamite had been ex-
posed to the direct rays of the sun for
three days.
The latest estimate places the number
OF the killed at over 100. Many per-
sons are missing. and there is scarcely a
doubt that they were blown to pieces

MEETING WITH ENCOURAGEMENT.
The Association for the Develop
mcnt of Richmond Trade.


mcnt of Richmond Trade.
The Association for the Deve opment of
Richmond Trade meets with encourage
ment on all sides 1t continues to re-
ceive the sympathy and support Of bust
ness-mcn i'm all branches of trad. The
solicitors Of the organization are now
about ready to approach the merchants
OF the city. and Secretary Alex Meyer
yesterday said that he looked for most
gratifying results from these visits The
Secretary, In speaking OF the association,
remarked that IL was in no wise anala-
gOus TO any existing organization. 1t
has for its special object the consumma-
tion Of lower rates on all railroads run
ming into Richmond. whereby IL Is h0ped
to create more travel to Richmond. with
consequent benefits to all branches of
business.
It is the present intention of the asso-
citation to run periodical excursions from
distant and intermediate points into Rich
mOnd at such law rates as TO create a
clientage Of regular visitors to Rich
mond among people who seldom think
Of visiting this market.
QUICK. NEARBY TRAFFIC.
The organization also has in contempla
lloN y hi ~ lutNlNN "a StIitS OF very low
rates from immediate points. that will al
most equa street-raiway traffic with the
view that the residents Of these points
will consider a trip 10 Richmond, as the
residents Of Richmond now regard a trip
from one side of the city TO the other.
only BY the hearty cooperation and aid
OF every trade interest can this object be
attained. and. as a basis for action, sub
scriptions are being asked for. which,
however can only be called for in pro-
portions as needed.
Should these ideas meet with the sue
cess hoped for. only the small appropria-
ton Of the subscriptions OF the associa-
ton will be required. Yet 1t is absolutely
necessary that large sum be subscribed
before the association can carry out its
intended programme.
THE APPROACHING MEETING.
Believing that Richmond trade will re-
alize much by bringing into closer re-
latons tho many thousands OF inhab-
tants. whose natural centre is Rich
mOnd. everybody is invited TO attend the
meeting Of the association, TO be held in
the assembly room Of the Chamber OF
Commerce, Tuesday, February 25th, at $50
o'clock In the evening, where expressions
Of opinion from any one interested in this
movement will be quoted, and where some
definite actions OF the railroad committee
will be acted upon. Every subscriber is
enrolled as q member.
There has already been subscribed some
thing near 1000. This Will be published
day by day as the solicitors report.
