HE DIED AFTER THE FIGHT.
Jail Prisoners Have Trouble, anu
One of Them Soon Expires.

Charles Conley, q white prisoner at 'ne
city Jail, had an alteration with cell
mate named James Hill yesterday AFTER
noon, and received injuries from which ne
died three hours later.
The men had just received their eve
ming meal, and returned to their cell 10
eat It. This was q few minutes after
O'Clock.
While eating Conley's behavior became
offensive to Hill, and the latter remon-
strated with him At this Conley got very
angry and called Hill opprobrious
name, which he promptly resented. the
blow which Hill dealt fell upon the back
of Cenley's head, and Frustrated him face
foremost upon one OF the large rocks
which are to be found in most Of the cells
instead of chairs. A cash was cut run
ming parallel with the left eye, but not for
a moment was 1t thought that such Ia tI
consequences would follow. The Jaller,
Mr.. Michael p Marin, was attracted py
the sounds OF scuftling. and hastened 10
the cell. He took Conley 70 the Jall-ydru'
washed away the blood from the apPa-
rently trivial injury, and put some STICK
ing plaster over 1t. Before being taken 70
his cell. however Conley complained OF
nausea DR.. w. S. Gordon. the Jail physi-
cian was summoned, and remained with
him until his death.
The mans skull has not been opened
yet. but it is the opinion Of Or. Gordon
and the Coroner, Or. Taylor, who was
called to view the. body, that in the IAN
against the rock a blOod-vessel had burst
upon the brain.
This morning at 10 O'Clock Or. Taylor
will hold a post -Qortem examination. The
inquest will tak5place at 4 o'clock TINS
afternoon.
CONLEY IS A STRANGER.
Conley Is a man above the medium
build. and about 50 years old. He was
sent down 10 the prison about twenty
days ago in default OF security, the
charge against him being drunkenness
on the street. He is a stranger in Rich
mond and ii is not known where he is
from, or whether he is married or not.
Indeed little is known Of either Of the
men. Hill came TO the Jail about the same
time as Conley. and they have since been
the same cell. They have never
had any difficulty before, as far as can
be learned. The charge against Hill is
that Of robbing a post-offlce. He is about
50 years old, and is more slightly built
than Conley. He will weigh, however
about 100 pounds, and is strong and ro-
bust.
Conley lived about three hours after the
blow. and died in much pain just after
Z O'Clock.

WORK OF THE CITY MISSION.
Will stand Side by side With the
I'M, ii. A, Through the Winter.

The ladies who have charge OF the City
Mission work convened yesterday morning
in the Young Mems Christian Association
parlor. They were met In conference ny
Messrs. Valentine. Meade, and Hume. OF
the Young Business-M Mems Association.
Plans for meeting the needs of the win
ter season were discussed at length. IT
was decided TO have a central office, and
to employ the services of a lady clerk TO
keep the books. The object OF this office
Is to have a complete record of all the
INDECENT, and a place for them to apply
for assistance instead of going 10 private
houses or offices. The mission-house on
east Franklin street will be used for sup
plies as usual. and liberal supply OF
rations will ba sent there to-day.
Some donations Of money we're received,
and the mission has issued an appeal for
clothing and fuel. The need is said to be
very great, and the amount Of poverty
and want abroad has rarely, IL ever, been
exceeded in the history of this city. Ii
was further decided to continue this year
the system of raising funds by means OF
guarantee slips, which will be circulated
through the city without delay.
