one. There was. indeed. no way 20 DO IL.
Had every street-car In Richmond and
Manchester been at hand, but a fraction
OF the immense throng could have been
accommodated. There we're acres OF pe0-
pie. They seemed to be everywhere In
sight.
There was a great rush In every direc-
ton for the cars. The managers OF the
different lines put forth every effort TO
handle the crowd as expeditiously as pos
sible. but the streets were so blocked and
the cars 80 packed that progress had TO
be made somewhat slowly. II is doubtful
whether as many people ever rode on the
cars in Richmond in one night. Some had
IN take west-bound cars and so 10 the
reservoir or TO Hollywood and back 10
get home. Cars could not have been more
densely packed than they were. fassen-
gers took great risks and sacrificed COM
fort rather than wait or walk.
ACCIDENTS ON THE CARS.
Three persons were hurt on the cars
going TO and from the fireworks
They were Joyce Smith. Of Manchester;
John Glover, negro boy, and q negro
man. whose name could not be learned.
They were not badly hurt, though the
ambulance was called in each case.
Smith was knocked of a car at Pine
and Main streets. He was cut about the
head and face. Or. Cunningham treated
him and took him 10 the City Hospital,
whore he spent the night.
Glover fell from car. He was cut
over the left eye. He and the other
negro were also treated by DIR. Cunning
ham, and left.

The report Of the Superintendent Of the
Penltentiary, which win be issued to-
morrow or early next week, will make a
remarkable showing.
The figures presented in the report viii
show that during the past year the peni-
Tertiary has cleared more money for tho
state than during any year IN it, history.
The report Is not made public yet and
the exact figures are not accessible. but
the Dispatch can state with authority
that the total receipts for the year VIII

any previous year IN the history OF ina
institution For the fiscal year ending
I'm 1897 the net profits were S5S'6Si'o. the
revenue TO the State for this year VIII

INCOME FROM sHosa
The chief. and. indeed, almost the sole
source Of income Is from the convicts
hired TO the Davis Shoe Company. The

Heved the output is now greater than

the condition OF the institution, remarked
last night that It was never better, 50

cerned-this, in spite of the fact that
the cells are fearfully crowded.
COMPETITION WITH FREE LABOR.
The same official remarked that ms
thought the popular foeling against the
policy OF having conylcts manufacture
goods to be sold in competition with ths
products OF free labor was duo to a mis-
apprehension.
"The people who are opposed 10 hiring

that by their labor they are paying for
their own support. We're they kept shut

A GOOD TIME
A LunatiC, Out on the County Road
Created Alarm.


A lunatic armed with a spear terri
fed people on the county road yester-
day afternoon and created panic.
He came from the direction of San
Elizsrio, wore no hat and only one old
shoe and long flowing beard was at
tached to his face.
The lunatic had devised weapon of
terrible execution, consisting of SOL
dier's bayonet attached to pole which
he flourished threateningly and warned
persons approaching to get out of his
way. No one olst anytime in obeying
his orders.
A little burro standing beside the
road out near Dunn's place aroused
the ire of the crazy man and he attack
ed it with his spear, burrying the
blade of the weapon in the animals
side, killing it instantly. The lunatic
next gave chase to woman bicycle
rider. She saw him coming and made
beautiful sprint down the road with
the crazy man and his spear in close
pursuit.
When the lunatic had reached the
suburbs Deputy Sheriff Heep was noti-
fed. He promptly called out all the
available officers within reach. De-
putty Sheriff Ben jenkins and henry
Gray were the only two he could find
but they did the work. To their sur
prise the lunatic submitted quietly aud
was taken to Jail.
After being locked in a cell he told
Ed Bryant that he had been in his pre-
sent condition since birth and was only
out having good time.
