About 10 o'clock last night as Conductor
Charles Lewis. of the Clay-street Inc
of the Richmond Railway and Electric
Company, was passing Glmer and Cioy
streets, on his car, on its west-oound trip
ne was attacked by two negro men, one
of whom struck him IN the mead with
brick, inhicting a painful wound.
The two men then escaped and nave
not yet been captured by the police. II
seems that on his preceding trip Lewis
had the two men and two women. escort
ed by them, as passengers. The men were
under the influence Of liquor ACCIDENT

struck against one OF the women where
upon the negroes became so abusive tnat

tor r.t tenn oil tne car
When the men attacked him on his next
trip he recognized them as the same men,
but did not know their names. The ne
groes evidently planned their attack upon
Conductor Lewis so as 10 avenge them
selves for having been elected from the
car. After he was struck the conductor
90 his wound dressed and went to his
home.

Confederate Veterans of Virginia made an
excellent selection I'm designating Miss
Mary Russell. OF Winchester as sponsor
for Virginia at the coming reunion Of the
veterans at Nashville. Tenn. Miss Rus
sell is one Of the most beautiful young
ladies in the Valley OF Virginia and she
is as lovely I'm character as in person.
She is niece OF the late Miss Title Rus

Battleheld" and tho selection of Miss
Russell as sponsor is a just tribute to

brand of traitor-the ignominy and the
chains of treason; and yet, to-day, there
IS not in all the South so much as one
public and permanent memorial OF Inn;
Whatever be the explanation OF this,
there Is no excuse for IL; and il has been
determined that the fact shall no longer
continue. The historic temple In which
the President of the Confederacy and the
gether worshipped the God Of their
fathers, already adorned by a window OF
unsurpassed beauty In memory or the
peerless Lee, will ere long set opposite
to this window, IL possible, as beautiful
and appropriate, in honor of the devoted
Davis.
1t is believed that many faithful souls
in this community and throughout the
South will be relieved to know that this
window will certainly be put in IN the
immediate future, and will rejoice TO take
part in this first permanent expression OF
loyalty, at once, to the memory OF those
sublime years in which We sacrificed
everything to principle and OF him who
was our supreme head IN that supreme
struggle.
Let no one be deferred by the unworthy
suggestion that this will be a narrow,
sectional, UNCONVENTIONAL monument Far
from Il: such memorials have ever been
regarded by English-speaking people as
the hottest and the tenderest that speak
to us of the departed; and they are, 10
say the least, most fittingly located IN
the church I'm which the friend we thus
memorabilia was accustomed TO worship.
Yes, in st. PauPs church-of all churches
and all places-should this memorial be
erected: and the good people of the city,
without distinction as to church connec-
tons. are heartily invited to take part In
1t.
The work will be executed by the high
est art and the most perfect skill in ms
country, and the design, which has just
arrived. gives every assurance that II will.
when completed, be an inspiration 10 all
who look upon it, and an honor TO the
city.
Large subscriptions are not desired 30
