ITALIANS IN RICHMOND COM
PLAIN OF a COUNTRYMAN.
(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot)
Richmond. Va. Aug. S--Alex. Brasce,
an Italian, about 80 years of age. a
marble cutter by trade, is prisoner al
the Second police station on the charge
OF being suspicious character. De-
tectiveS arrested the man this morn
Ing on the compla int OF a committee of
prominent Italians. who declared that
BraSce was an anarchist, and that he
had made threat 10 throw bomb
into the Cathedral tomorrow while
the memorial services in respect to the
late King Humbert were being cele-
bratcd.
Brasce is poor English scholar
He can hardly make himself under
stood but to reporter he tried to
make 1t plain to-day that he was not
an anarchist.
The gentlemen who have the cele-
bration in honor of King Humbert in
charge We're informed yesterday that
an anarchist was in the city. and that
he had been making threats. 1t was
said that he had declared that he did
not care that the King had been
Killed; in fact. that he knew the mon
arch WIS to die. ana that he knew the
9ate and time in advance. il was also
charged that Brascc had declared that
DOIlD WOuiu nc thrown INTO the Ia
thedral tomorrow. and that another
would be thrown into the parade.
Chief Howard heard the complaint
If the Italian citizens, and the chief
Of detectives was sent for, and. after
hearing the report. assigned detectives
to the case, with instructions 10 arrest
the man and bring him 10 lssadquar-
ters
1t was learned that Brasce was at
work at 81 marble yard, but the alleged
anarchist was picked up on the streets
and taken to headquarters.
Later it was said that Brasce had
been at the anarchist meeting in Pat
erson. n. j.. at the time of the draw
ing of lots to kill the King. II is also
charged now that Brasce has been
trying 70 organize an anarchist band
here
The man bears a striking rcsem-
blance to the pictures printed of
Brcsci. the assassin of King Humbert
and the similarity OF the names has
led many of the local Italians TO think
that the two men are brothers.

the general opinion was decidedly
against the decision. Many people be-
linve that if the prisoner Is insane he
should have been committed to an in
sane asylum and not confined in the
pen.tentiary. II he is not insane. then
they argue that the law should not
have been ntcrfered with.
benjamin was seen to-day. and the
following conversation ensued:
We'll. benjamin. what do you think
OF your success in escaping the gall

"Oh, i wish they had hanged me. for
I would rather be dead than living in
my condition." was the reply he gave.

The Virginian- Pilot correspondent to-
day called on General Stith Boiling and
asked him In regard to the published
statements that he would probably be
selected Grand Commander of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
at its next meeting. and inquired of
him II he was candidate for re-elec-
ton. He said he was not. and further
stated that under the laws of the
Grand Camp Commander was not
eligible to two successive terms, and
he thought 1t a wise provision and one
which he most heartily approved.
Commander Boiling reports the
Camps of Confederate Veterans
throughout the State to be in fine con-
dition. and says more interest is be-
ing taken to further the objects for
which the camps were formed than
he had ever known.

ELIGIBLE TO REDUCTION.
Especial to NirNnian- Pilot)


Petersburg, Va, Aug. S.-This morn
ing about o'clock very bad and
singular wreck occurred in the Market
street depot yard of the Seaboard Air
Line railway in this city. At the time
of the accident a train Of sixteen cars
loaded with lumber. was being shifted
in the yard. when. for some cause, the
breaks failed to work and the result
was that the heavily loaded train came
down the grade in the yard at n very
rapid speed Three OF the flats plunge ed
through the west wall oc the Dudley
House and went into the cellar of the
building making such an immense
aperture in the thick wall as TO render
the building unsafe to be occupied.
About fourteen feet of the brick wall
OF the freight depot Of the railroad
company at the northeast corner of the
building was slowed in by the heavy
timners and cars. The lumber was
thrown into one immense heap and
piled almost to the third story of the
Dudley House. One of the fiat cars was
pile of lumber. Strange to say. no one
was injured. the Dudley House is now
being taken down, the work having
been begun to-day. On its site the Sea
board Air Line railway is to erect n
handsome brick passenger depot.
Ths offices of the company. which
have heretofore been in the Dudley
House. have been removed to an un-
occupied residence close by owned by

subordinates would never b missed.
A thorough overhauling and reorgan-
ization is necessary, and the Board Of
Regents and the Executive of the
State should set about it at once and
make good job of it. There has been
an abundance of trif1ing, and the peo-
pie are becoming fatigued.
A telegram received from Morgan
town last night conveyed the informa-
ton that President Raymond had
placed his resignation il Lhe hands of
the Board of Regents, The latter having
failed to sustain the charges Of the
President against number of the fac
u,ty. That is well. as far as it goes.
If some of the subordinates of the Pres
ident will do likewise, and the Board
will act vigorously and promptly, the
University may not only be saved from
injury, but its progress along proper
lines will be assured. The talk about
deferring action until June will not
meet the requirements of the case.
Promptness is desirable, as well as
thOroughness.
