CARS TO HORSE SHOW.
Either Superintendent G.. B. Buchanan,
Of the street car lines through Manches-
ter, or General Manager Hun, Of the
Passenger and Power Company. will be
asked by citizens this week to run
through cars from Manchester to the
Horse Show and reutrn. The request
seems a reasonable one, said citizen
last night, as nearly the whole city
will turn out to see the show during the
week. To transfer at Seventh and Main
would SO jam the already crowded cars
that many would have to walk. Should
the show continue until nearly twelve,
the Manchesterians would be forced to
some inconvenience In getting home
from Seventh and Main. Hence the re-
quest that the cars, or rather two or
three Of them. run all the way through.
Mr.. c.. d. Gentry, of No. 617h South
Pine Street. Richmond. was seriously in
1ured at the Southern shops yesterday
afternoon. piece of iron striking p
in the eye. DIR. Merchant, the conpany's
physician. was at once called and did
what was necessary to relive the sufferer.
it cannot yet be said whether he will
lose the sight of the eye or not. The
piece of iron was very small and came
from a heated bar. Mr.. Gentry was
working at his machine at the time Of
the accident.

II has now been almost settled that the
execution of Ernest Davis, the negro muir
derer. Will take place in the corridor of
the CITY jail, and not in the yard. the
ward enclosure not being high enough to
keep the curious crowd away. From the
cei.,ng of the corridor to the floor it is
twenty feet, and this would give plenty
Of drop The law says that only twelve
citizens shall witness the hanging Of a.
person, and Sergeant Saunders has had
over one hundred people to ask him to
see the execution.
