had gotten wind Of the fact that as soon
as il became known that the desperate
fugitive had been captured and brought
back 10 this city there would be aroused
a great deal of feeling against the negro,
and there might be some attempt on the
part Of a large number of people TO take
the law in their own hands and deal with
the guilty party accordingly.
Communication from the police head
quarters of the First district verified this,
and it was later seen that the precautions
taken were not uselesly done. Accord
ingly, as soon as the officers in chargeof
the prisoner stepped off the train to the
platform there was a carriage awaiting
them. in a jiffy they rushed him into
the vehicle and gave orders that all haste
be made TO reach the First police station.
LARGE CROWD COLLECTED.
Captain Thomas and Officers Werner,
Fowlkes and Russell accompanied tne
prisoner to the station-house. and the
negro was put into cell No. T. and the
door securely barred.
The news of the capture spread like
wild fire throughout the eastern portion
Of the city. 1t was seen at a glance
about the station that few cases of
shooting in Richmond had created so
much interest for years, for about the
StatlOn-hOuSe crowd commenced 10 COL

IT, During the day the shooting had
been widely commented upon through
out the city, and many inquiries had been
made as 10 whether the fugitive had
been apprehended, and whether or not
officer Minor would recover from bis IN
juros. Everyone who was heard to ex-
press any opinion at all about the shoot

the officer, and did not hesitate TO aCr

with fhi- sentiment prevailing through
out the community there was no surprise
expressed that so many people collected
at the entrance TO the station house.
Captain Thomas and his officers on duty
noticed that the crowd was rapidly in
crcasing. IT seemed that from all parts
Of the eastern portion Of the city people
drifted by natural impulse towards the

Not since the agricultural department
was established has it been in charge
Of such capable and wide-awake chief
as the present secretary. Within the
four short months of his control OF the
department, he has accomplished more
for the country's farming industry than
was done by some Of his predecessors
in their entire four-ycars' term Of office.
Nothing that seems to be of the slightest
interest to American farmers IS allowed
to escape his attention. He is now pr.
pairing to send abroad two competent
experts TO obtain information about the
probable effect Of the opening Of the
Trans-Siberian railway on the exportation
of the wheat crop Of the United States.
The railway will be put in operation III
1900. Il will traverse the fertile Siberian
grain fields. and, in connection with
other roads, will furnish wheat to Eu-
rope at reduced cost. The agents will
study freight rates and report whether
the increased means of transportation
will cause loss to the grain growers Of
this country.
