president of The Times Company, and AIr.
Milton e. Marcuse, a prominent manu-
facturer and we'll known business man.
The directors not reappointed are Col.
John Murphy and Mr.. A. c. Hartman. Col.
Murphy was very anxious to resign dur
ing Governor Ty!er's term, and wrote
or Tort co,
ing that he greatly preferred not to be
appointed again. Tie Governor appre-
ciates the excellent and efficient service
rendered by Mr.. Hartman. but felt that
this was q case and q time where it was
not wise to appoint on the board a Inem-
Der of the Legislature. The present Cen
cral Assembly will have to deal with inn
portant matters affecting the peniten-
tiary. Dr. c. V. Darlington is reapponted
surgeon to the penitentiary.
The Board OF Education held a meet
ing yesterday. Two matters were con-
sidered. but no decisive action was taken
in either. There was an appeal from Isle
of Wight county as to the continuance
oe a certain school. Some patrons want
it discontinued, while others are fighting
this. The matter not having been prop
erly brought before the board, no action
vas lttAtil.
The Grayson county. case, in which the
Senate failed to confirm the appointment
of j. Is. Fulton, as superintendent, was
considered, but as the matter is in the
hands of the Senate, where charges
which were not intimated to the board
when the selection was made, were pre-
ferred, no action was taken.
Governor Montague has committed the
sentence of Albert Paxton, of Danville.
to three months in Jail for felonious as
sault. His sentence was six months.
In the office of the Secretary OF the
Commonwealth the following charters
were filed: Wheaton Oyster Company.

nole Bargain Company, Pulaski Oil and
Gas Company, Stone Printing and Man
ufacturing Company, amended charter.
