SOME ASTONISHING FIGURES.
TO INVITE CAPITAL.

What will the Virginia Electrical Rail
way and Development Company do with
this immense surplus caDacity? That Is
a very natural question WHOM one con-
siders the power required at present. The
answer is one which should delight every
Richmonder who has the interests Of the
city at heart Capital will be invited here;
inducements will be offered to manufac-
turers. and they will see before them ir-
resstible allurements. In short. the plan
Of this enterprising corporation is best
described in the explanations below.
FREE SITES FOR INDUSTRIES
When the company purchased the HaN-
an-Crenshaw Mills, they likewise ace
quired. i'm addition TO extensive riparian
rights. a considerable strip Of land ON
this side Of the river, and better stin,
they bought from the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway an immense tract on the
Manchester side The land ON the Ches-
terrified side is three quarters of a mile

GOO feet. These purchases were made with
the idea of getting control of the water
power. but they carried with them many
other privileges BY an old grant, the pro-
pcrty on the Chesterfield side is exempt
from municipal taxation. and manufac-
turing concerns which erect plants there
on will partake OF this immunity. The
Virginia Electrical Railway and Develop
ment Company viii offer these splendid
manufacturing sites free TO any industry
that will locate here. provided its man
agemont agrees 20 use the electric power
furnished 10y the company. Nor will they
be required TO pay exorbitant rates for
this power: on the contrary. thew will be

As indicated above. the prime object Of
the company win De to supply the city
with ciectrlcity-that s.. 10 furnish cleo
trio lights and power Already many OF
our streets are being honcycombod with
the huge conduits of the concern. which
will ultimately penetrate all the leading
thoroughfares. Electric novelties Of all
kinds viii be introduced. and the company

mysterious agent. which is so rapidly be-
coming the sine qua non Of civilization
The members Of the concern hope. in
time. to almost supplant the use Of gas,
as they will furnish eloclric-lshts at
equally low prices, and viii cut the pres
ent rates 50 per centum. TO relieve the
public fears. a voltage of only 800 win De
used. so that there will be absolutely no
danger from the mysterious force.
GREAT CONTRACTS ALREADY MADE
Already contracts for 10000 incandes-
cent lights have been secured, for the IL
Elimination Of offices and residences
though the work Of convassing has hard
Is commenced. Among the large con-
sumers will be the Hotel jefferson, the
Richmond Traction Company, the Allen

bacco Company, the Mica Manufacturing
Company, and the new bag-factory. Ne
gotiations are also being made with the
Trieg ship-Burding Company ana other

FICaUART ACCUSES MERGER
Significant Statement at the Trial of Libre Parole for Labelling Labori.

Paris, Dec. 2O.-The Liberal Parole has been condemned to pay fine of 2'OOO francs for libelling Maitre Labori in saying that he was not wounded during the Dreyfus trial at Rennes and only pretended to be in order to .af- feet the verdict The paper was also ordered to have copies of the judgment inserted 24O times in different news papers.
 Today's trial re-echoed Rennes mem ories, though the central figure was absent Maitre Labori looked well and hearty in spite of the ounce of lead lodged near his spine. NJ. Cast. Mayor of Villa d'Avray, and Col. Pic quart again appeared together as close knit as brothers rather than the cou- sins that they are. They again told graphic stories of the pursuit of M Labori's would-be assassin Col. Pic quart emphatically adding that eleven months imprisonment had ill-prepared him to chase the man. Dr. Reclus' evil dence fully proved the dangerous na- ture of the wound. He declared that M. Labori's marvellous recovery was due to his excellent constitution. Dr. Reclus denied prior acquaintance with NJ. Labori, adding that he was at tracted to Rennes to witness the re- mobilization of an innocent man.
 Col. Picquart startled the audience when he stated that on returning from the court martial General Mercier met him with a triumphant glare, ." the memory of which, the witness added, ''I will carry to my grave" The audi eEce understood that Col. Picquart hinted that General Mercier had knowledge beforehand that the out rage would be perpetrated.
 Mayor Cast stated that Nj. Labori was saying, Well, Mercier will have to explain himself today" when the shot was fired.
 The court decreed the maximum pen alty against the paper, but owing to the peculiarity of French procedure, the defendant not pleading, the case will come up again before the same tribunal, when, if it is defended, the penalty will probably be reduced.

Fears for the Safety of General Methuen.
SILENT SINCE SUNDAY
Rebel Dutch Gathering at Stormberg Where the Boers are Collecting a Great Force-Americans Apply ing for the Privilege of Fight ing for the Transvaal-Lord Roberts in London.

London, Dec. 21.-(4:45 a. m.)-The gravity of the military situation is again becoming accentuated in the public mind, owing to the complete ab- sence of news. Nothing has been heard from Lord Methuen since Sunday and it is feared that his communications have been cut. If this be so, his po- sition is dangerous.
 The Daily News has the following dispatch from Cape Town dated Satur- day, December 16: "The Boers intend to make a big stand at Stormberg and are making great force at the aban- doned British camp. One commando of 2,OOO consists chiefly of rebel Dutch"
 General Lord Roberts. who is to have full command of the British troops in South Africa, arrived in London this morning, having travelled from Dublin with Mir. Chamberlain. His departure from Dublin was marked by cheering crowds, but the general made a quiet entry into London.

POPULISTS AGAINST FUSION.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 2O.-The pop ulist state executive committee at a meeting here today determined to op- pose both Senator Morgan and Gov ernor Johnston, democrats, for United States senator, and to put a full fledged populist candidate in the field. A resolution was adopted calling upon M. w. Howard. former congressman from the Seventh district, to make the race and to canvass the state.
 Howard is the only populist ever sent to congress from Alabama. He served two terms and achieved some notoriety while there by writing a book entitled If Christ Came to Con- gress." The production purported to depict congressional life.
 The populist committee also called a state convention for the second Thurs day in May next to launch a complete state ticket. All suggestions of fusion with the democrats were hooted down. It is thought Howard will make the race for senator.
