THE DELAY ON THE JAIL.
The City Engineer Instructed to Push the
Work Oh Rapidly.

The Grounds and Buildings Committee
of the Council discussed at some length
last night tia delay of the Stewart Iron
Works contractors for the new city Jail,
in getting work on that building promptly
started. Colonel Cutshaw was hearc, as
was MI. W. N. Bergman. the representa-
tive of the Stewart Iron Works. The
upsiot OF the whole matter was that the
City Engineer was instructed to push the
Stewart Company along With It's WORK
as rapidly as possible.
Colonel Cutshaw stated that the work
on the jail had for some time been drag
cling terribly. and that he had notlhed
Mr.. Bowman that nothing was being
done. Mr. Bates. Of his office, had re-
Gently been in Cincinnati, and had found
that the Stewart Works had nothing IN
hand and had done nothing. Inc Col
onel also stated that there was no mate
rial on the ground here for the WORK
of construction: that the sub-contractors
were not pushing the work and that
with t>ad weather it would be question
u,hert7e, the structure could be COM
pleted by May, the time specified IN the
contract.
Colonel C1ltshaw also went on to sus-
gest that it might be more economical to
put IN an elevator and yentiiatlnS ap-
r,aratus at this time than later. but the
committee :lesitated about asking more
money of the Council, and decided to let
the building CT the structure go on as
contracted for without fan and elevator
Next winter the committee may try 10
get an appropriation in the budget for
next year.
In reply to Colonel Cutshaw Mr.. Bow
man stated that the steel strike had
thrown his company back in its prepa-
~ f;ors Some of the work had fbeen
done and was now under way Mr. GID
son asked Mr. Bowman whether he had
not said at the time of the granting OF
the contract that he had all the neces-
sar. steel on hand. In reply Nh BOW
man said that he had referred to plate
steel. He thought that in the massive
ness of the foundations which had to be
removed the sub-contractors had found
themselves up against unforeseen con-
ditions The laying of the concrete
foundations would begin on Monday.

The platform declares for a Democratic

1t denounces "as a shame the pretense
at reform which characterizes the COM
bination made up of Republicans and
so-called Democrats notorious for their
greed for office and embittered against
the regular Democratic organization be-
cause of their failures and dlsappolnt-

1t claims the credit for inaugnrating a

4 Most Successful, Enjoyable and
Happily Conceived
Affair.


The formal fall opening Of Messrs o.
n Berry and Company, head-to-foot
outfitters, in their remodeled and en-
Iarged Eplace Of business at Eleventh and
Main Streets last night, was a most no
tably successful, enjoyable and happily
conceived affair.
The public had awaited itself of very
cordial invitation to be present at
house warming from S to 10 O'CLOCK, and
came in numbers which tested to the ut
most the standing room capacity OF the
different floors of the large building, and
greatly surprised everyone familiar with
how deserted this portion of Main Street
is at night.
The occasion was one of hearty con-
gratulations for Mr.. O. H Berry, the
head of the firm, and his efficient corps
of lieutenants, who have co-operated
with him in the making of the largest
business of this character in the South.
The horseshoe floral design presented to
Mr.. Berry by his employees bore the dates
1S19-1901, which tell of the growth and
upbuilding or the business. 1t was pre-
sented by Mr.. Thomas H Starke, the
manager of the concern, the only en-
ploye who has been with it during the
whole period of twenty-five years. Mr..
Berry responded, expressing the greatest
appreciation and the hope that the same
pleasant relations might continue for
another twenty-five years The ladies of
the office force presented AIR. Berry with
a beautiful basket of flowers.
The place which this establishment has
won for itself in the good will and
esteem of the people of Richmond was
strikingly set forth in the spirit and in
terest as we'll as the size and number Of
the friends who had gathered to con-
graduate upon the Inauguration of new
and enlarged business facilities.
The new leather-goods department in
the basement was 2 special feature Of
interest and attractiveness. Many stopped
to examine, with some care, the most;
complete and elaborate assortment of
trunks and bags of all sorts and uses to:
be found hereabouts

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was a goodsized audience at the
Academy last night 10 witness dramatl-
cation of Marie CoreliisS The Sorrows
of SATAN. The play evidently appeals
to d large class of theatre-soers, and, with
a competent cast, it ought TO prove in
teresting to many. Edward Mawscn
looked the part of Prince Lucio Rernanez,
but he did not make the character as
impressive as it might have been. He
was rather too human and vocdllc to
carry conviction. Ross sO'Neal has a
good voice, but he lacks naturalness and
depth of feeling in his acting. Nellie
Yale was the Lacy Sibyl Elton. and her
walk, gestures and elocution will not soon
be forgotten-because they were so diff
ferent from what they should have BEEN
Her death scene was a marvel and won
a curtain call probably because of its
vociferousness and novelty. Mary KARI
was the Diana Chesney, and, while her
work was somewhat crude, she showed
more ability than her associates. The
scenic effects were very good
RICHARD CARNEL TONIGHT.
Andrew Robsons triumph in Richard
Carvel,'' which will be presented at the
Academy tonight and tomorrow matt

phase of this polished actors many sided
art. In the dramatization of Winston
Churchills book which he presents, MIR.
Robson shines with DECIDED Drilllancy as
a romantic actor. His impersonation of
the young Maryland gentleman whose
love adventures and patriotic doings are
made the subject matter of Mr.. Church
ills book is the complete realization OF
a wo1nan's ideal of an impetuous and,
dashing young lover, as we'll as of
whole hearted and fearless patriot. The
love passages in Carvel's career are. or
course. given preponderance in the play,
but there are sufficient slimpses of the
heroic side of the young mans character
to add his enhancement to its figure In
the play. Mr. Robson Is making the
triumph of his career in Richard Car
