Reason to Remember Him.

The laboring people of Richmond have
reason to remember the name Of Lewis
Ginter with gratitude Not only did he
make liberal provision for them while he
was alive, but in his will he had such
arrangements perfected that his death
does not throw any one out Of work by
the shutting down of any of the enter
prises in which he was interested.

In some States of the South they do
not allow their misdemeanor convicts 10

gather them together in gangs and hire
them out to contractors. Here in Virginia
We at least might make use of our mis-

work upon the public roads. These
prisoners and those sentenced to the
pententiary for very short terms might
do considerable amount of road-build-

raised Cain before this.

How long-oh, how long-wll our peo-
pie be content to tolerate such pieces
Of sidewalk as that on the west side of
Ninth street between Main and Frank
lin? Is our system of government so
complex and bnwieldly that the trou-
bic cannot be reached, or is our city so
poor that it cannot raise the needed
money? One or the other thing must be
the matter, for there can be no doubt
of the fact that the pavement in question
is shame and disgrace to Richmond.

From Thornton's Relatives

! Two days prior TO the commitment
, OF Jack Thornton to the insane asy-
lum, Chief of Police A. c. Dilley held
an interview with the unfortunate
JOung man when he divulged consider
able information concerning his rela-
tiveS and his former home. Thornton
will be remembered as the young man
who was arrested for stealing a hat
from the Cottage hotel and while
Iawailing an examination on the
! charge, suddenly became insane.
neceSsitating his commitment to the
insane asylum. In an interview with
Chief Dilley, Thornton confessed to
having assumed fictitious name, and
furnished the chief with the addresses
Of relatives in California. He also ac-
knoWledged having been in several of
the California insane asylums and
having only five weeks before, escaped /
from the Stockton asylum. Chief |
Dilley at once mailed letter to At
torney II. b. Griffith, of Oakland who
Thornton claimed to be brother, in
forming him of the unfortunate cir.
cumStances concerning the arrest of
MS brother. An answer was received
by Chief Dilley this morning. Mr.. /
Irirtith thought the young man CIV
ing his name as Thornton was un-
ioubtedly his brother, from the
description given by Chief Dilley. He
'orroborated ThorntOn's statements
IS 70 his numerous commitments to
lalifornia insane asylums, and sug-
Iested that the proper course TO pur-
ue would be to have Thornton
ommitted TO the insane asylum at
allen. II seems about eight years
go Griffith, alias Thornton, received
n injury TO his head and since then
as been subject to fits at different
eriOdS.
