to be one of the most extreme cases OF
cruelty that have been reported to him
for some time. Isaac Randolph & colored
teamster, Of No. 1905 Beverly Street,
carried his mule to a black
smith shop, on West Broad Street, to
have him shod. The mule it seems, be-
came balky while being shod and was
tied up tight by the blacksmith The
mule reared up on his hind feet and was
unable to get back. The blacksmith
picked up a. knife and cut the rope. The
mule fell backward against the anvil.

OAicer i sis lor was summoned and was
told the mule was paralyzed and was
asked to end his existence. This was
promptly done. The teamster called lat
er and found his mule dead lie be-
came suspicious asto how the mule was
hurt and consulted Officer Taylor, who
advised him 10 see DIR. Smith, .veteri-.
nary surgeon. d. Smith held a post
mortem examination over the mule and
discovered that his backbone was broken.
Another report as to how the mules
back became broken is thus. The mule
kicked at one of the men in the shop, who
became enraGed and picked up an oak
board and dealt the mule q, blow over. his
back. If the latter report is true Officer
Taylor says he will try to make the guilty
man suffer.

REBUILDING OF JEFFERSON.
Architects Making Good Progress With the
Plans


Plans for the rebuilding Of the Main
Street side Of the jefferson Hotel are
progressing. ElWood 4 Son, the archi-
tects who have the planning of the; new
structure in hand. are pertecting grad
ually, according to the wishes OF Mr.
George Arents and associates, details Of
the general plan Of the new structure.
From time to time, during the last few
weeks, the Messrs. E1wood have sent to
Mr.. Arents in New York plans for the
various details. and work on these has
been continuous. Within a short while
it is expected that final plans embracing
all the changes which will be decided
upon In connection with the Main Street
end Of the big building will Rave been
completed and approved, after which work
will probably begin.
In connection with the reopenng of
the Franklin Street side Of the Jefferson
there is great deal of doubt as to
whether or not it will be ready. even in
part. for guests by next week. Office
furniture is now being placed there, how
ever, and there is a possibility that the
difficulties in the way of an immediate re-
opening will be removed. For the hotel
office there was taken to the Jefferson
on Wednesday a giant safe. This re-
quired the efforts Of sixteen horses to pull
it to the hotel and the spectacle at

ANOTHER OBSTACLE REMOVED.

Railway Company.

Judge Waddll. in the United States Dis

day in the case of the Richmond and Pc
tersburg Electric Railway Company US.
]. c. Spencer trustee
The decision was in favor Of the rail-
way company and removes another obsta-
Gle thrown in the path of the company
to delay and hinder the construction of
the line.
The suit was the condemnation of q
piece of property on the south side of
the Appomattox River, upon which the
company wished to place a bridge, and
thus reach the city of Petersburg. It was
purchased only a short while ago by
Spencer, as trustee, and subsequent de-
felopments proved Spencer to be closely
identified with the interests of Mr.. George
e. Fisher and the Passenger and Power
Company, which clearly established in the
minds of many that the move was but
another evidence of the fight the Passe1l-
ger and Power Company has made against
the new line from its beginning.
Condemnation proceedings will be be-
gun at once, and it seems the company
is now in a fair way to complete the
line. Mr.. William L. Royal appeared as
leading counsel for the railway company.
The second and third floors of the Gus
tom House are to be lighted by electrici-
ty. Mr.. Doherty, special agent Of the De-

building will be wired at once, and the
lights put in within the next few weeks.
These floors of the building are now
lighted by gas.

VIRGINIA ALL RIGHT.
Several days ago there appeared an
editorial in a washington city paper, set
ting forth that the percentage of illiterate
white voters in Virginia was larger than
that of any other Southern State. An
officer in the State Library has taken the
trouble to send to the United States Cen
sus Bureau for statistics on the subject,
and finds that the paper in question is
in error and that there are several South
ern States behind Virginia in this matter.
Indeed, there are at least five in which
the proportion OF illiterate white voters
far exceeds that in this State. The fol-
lowing table is taken from the census
figures for 1900, and shows exactly how
they stend. North Carolina is omitted
from the table, for that State could not

ago the percentage of il..,erate white vo-
tiers in that State was ten per cent. great
er than that in Virginia. Here are -
figures compiled from the census bulle-
