The Exercises Which Were to Take
Place at Leigh-Street Church..
A large class was to have been bap-
tized at Leigh Street Baptist Church
Wednesday night, but tney were dis
appointed.
A protracted meeting was held recent
ly at Leigh-Street church, conducted by
Rev. DR.. Carter Helm Jones, brother of
the pastor, and son of Rev. DR.. j. VIM.
Jones, strong, earnest and forcible
preacher. His eXhortations resulted in
many conversions, and Wednesday night
was the time set for the baptism of those
who had been converted.
In view of the expected exercises, a
large congregation was in attendance
So large was the crowd. in fact, that all
available space in the church was oc-
cupied. and it became quite uncomforta-
BILE for those inside the church.
AS the services progressed the crowd
increased and considerable confusion
was occasioned near the doors, caused by
the jam at that place.
The services were interrupted, and Rev.
M.Ashby Jones, in order to avert any
possible disagreeble results, dismissed
the. congregation and the baptismal SER
vices were postponed.

yIRGINIa,s DEarH-TRAP.

Capt. B. G. Patterson, member Of the
House of Delegates from Rockingham
County, died in this city yesterday from
pneumonia, which he contracted. doubt
less, in the Capitol building. This is the
fourth member to die since the Legisla-
ture convened in December. Two other
members are now dangerously Ill, and 1T
is said that fully a score of Senators and
Delegates were sick. when they left with
colds which they caught in the Legisla-
tive halls.
That is terrible record, and unless
some radical changes be made to i'm
prove its sanitary condition, the old build
ing will. soon come to be regarded as a
ver11able death-trap.

THE TRUSTS IN HARD LINES.

A little while ago many. business men
throughout the country went trust crazy
and the public had a genuine case of hys-s

trusts. and the people got the idea into
their heads that the trusts were going to
ride roughshod over them and rule the,
country. It was natural that there should
be some alarm when combination after;

The gentlemen of the committee who
signed this card have ignored the main
question involved. Under old Virginia
rules a gentleman is always justified in
reserting personal insult, but under the
laws of Virginia a man has no right to
carry a concealed weapon, yet Mr.. White
head, who is one of the lawmakers Of
this State, went into the committee room
with pistol in his pocket, and upon
what he deemed sufficient provocation
drew his pistol and attempted to shoot
one of his assailan1s.
The members of the committee in their
card took no note whatever of this flag
rant violation of the law of the State by
a Iaw-maker OF the State, and not one
word of condemnation. of Mr.. White
heads, lawless act appears in their publ
cation.
It is with genuine sorrow that we note
this incident. The carrying of concealed
weapons is a vicious practice, against
which the press of this State has been
battling for years. But how can we ex-
pect men ITO give it UP when a member
of the Legislature carries a pistol in his
pocket and when his brother members
justify him?
