and answering friendship repays me for
defeat and takes away its sting.
Mr.. Wallace was the third voter to
present himself at the Third precinct Of
Madison Ward. He cast a complimentary
vote for his opponent.
Mr.. Wallace counted safely upon Gooch-
land. the cities of Richmond and Man
chester, while he thought he would give
captain Lamb a hard run in Chesterfield.
A CLEAN WALKOVER.
But the early voting throughout the
cities and nearby precincts in the counties
indicated that Congressman Lamb would
have wallover, and complete returns
left Mr.. Wallace and his friends but lit
tie comfort
The campaign has been long and bit
ter one. AT first it looked as if Captain
Lamb would have an easy victory, but
about ten days or two weeks ago there
was what looked like tide toward the
young business man. If there was such
tide 1t receaed, and another one started
sn, which landed Captain Lamb safely for
the fourth time in Congress.
This was the second party fight OF
Congressman Lambs political career. In
1896 he defeated Congressman Elicit by
narrow margin in the convention. Twice
after that he was nominated to succeed
himself by exclamation. Yesterday brought
him perhaps the greatest victory OF his
life. He had good, hard. stiff opposition
and won hands down. That's all.

If the gun was working. and then went
up stairs. In the meantime Mrs. Meyer
ran to the front door and finding Mrs.
Anderson at the gate asked her to so on
down town, saying that her son was
going to shoot her.
Mrs. Anderson paid little attention to
this warning, but insisted upon seeing
the young man. AS he came down the
stairs about this time his mother
slammed the door and attempted to hold
il shut, but was forced back. Here
Berillcy confronted the woman for
a moment and demanded that she come
in. saying she should tell his mother
something When she declined to come
in and seemed to treat Berkley's threat
ening attitude with unconcern, he drew
the pistol and fired.
Mrs. Anderson is quite well known in
this city being a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. p. II. Ikessler who for many years
resided on Eleventh and Broad Streets.
Her father is now and has been for many
years hostler at No. 3 engine house, on
Broad Street. Her husband, whom she
married in Norfolk about two years ago,
is on board a government training ship
off the coast of South America. About one
month after the wedding he enlisted in
the United States navy, and has not been
home since.

the Almshouse stated that there had been
little change in the patients condition
since being brought TO the hospital, and
that no effort toward locating the bullet
had been made II was deemed best not

way or the other.
HAD ACTED STRANGELY.
Friends OF Young Berkeley who were
seen last night said he had for some
time been in love with Mrs Anderson.
Recently he had acted quite strangely
said one friend, and it was evident there
was some trouble on his mind.
Another went so far as to say he be-
iievcd he had lost his mind, and had
called attention to his strange conduct
several days ago. The pistol used by
Berkeley was one used in plays at the
Academy, where Berkeley was employed
as a property man. He had carried 1T
home a few days ago, so he told his
mother, TO shoot at boys rohbing the peach
trees on their place.
One of the stage hands at the Acad-
envy told a reporter for The Times that
on "Wednesday when Berkley was load
ing. a revolver for use in the play at the
Academy he had remarked that he would
load ii again for a more deadly use. He
kept his promise.
Mrs. Meyer Berkley's mother is a
widow. having been twice married, and
for several Years had lived with this boy,
