Tyler is now considering the petition OF
the friends of Thomas W. Price of
Prince Edward, the old man under SEN
tence of death. asking for n commuta-
tion to life imprisonment a delega-
ton of Prince Edward people will
probably call upon the Governor to-
morrow and ask that the sentence be
committed.
Governor Tyler has sent for the shirt
which Hall had on when Price shot
him. This shirt is said to have on it
marks of the burns made by the powder
when Price fired the shot that killed
the man The shirt was not put in
evidence at the trial. If the burns are
found upon the shirt it would appear as
though there were ground for the con-
tention of the friends of Price that the
two men were Scufiling over the pistol
when it was discharged.
Governor Tyler Will go up to Ma
nassas tomorrow to attend the horse
show there Thursday. Senator Martin
will be there tomorrow and possibly
there Thursday also.

high railroad official. Five cars are now
engaged in the work. he said. The iirs;

for the purpose by Il Wall street syndI-
cate. The second was built a little Ia
ter and named Emmanuel" The third
was built by n wealthy man in honor
OF his wife and she chose 'Glad Tid-
ings" as its name. Good WILL" the

voluntary subscriptions are received,
there being no solicitation.

manifested deep personal interest in the
work. He told Of instances in which

tested against appealing to n selfish
motive for giving subscriptions, which,
ne SAID, was directly contrary to the
splrit IN which the fund should be CON
quoted. 1t should be entirely unseIfish
