Clay Ward.

There will be Il leSalized primary cleo
ton to nominate candidates for municipal
officers in Richmond on April 10th. This
was determined at a meeting of the City
Committee held at Murphy's Hotel last
night. The body then adjourned to meet
upon the call of the Chairman.
The only other matter of sweeping in
tereSt disposed of was the election Of
successor to Alderman John 3. Minor, he
having resigned from the committee last
night. There were two candida tes. They
were DR.. Charles V. Darlington and Mr..
I. NJ. Brannon. The former was chosen
by a vote of II to IS. Messrs. Kimbrough
and Butler espoused the cause of DR.. Car
rinSton and Mr.. Brannons claims were
advocated by Mr.. Saunders. Mr.. Bosch
en- WIS also for Mr.. Bracnon. This made
a tie in the ward delegation, and threw
the matter before the general committee.
The fight has been going on for some time
and the result was looked for With much
interest.
The bylaws OF the committee have been
recently amended. so as to compel the
ward superintendents to name the election
officers for all primaries which are select
e6 by the Electoral Board Of the city.
Mr.. Fuller made a strong sneech de-
claring that this was an abridgmcnt
of the powers of the committee and sh III {
was adopted, requesting the Electoral
Board to furnish the committee with a
list OF the officers chosen by that body to
serve in the regular election not later
than February 24th.

ing out the section and restoring the olG
one. providing that the matter of selees-
ing the primary officers be left to the

HUNT EVIDENCE
IN FAUST MURDER

Especial Dispatch to The Iime5}
BLACKSTONE, VA, Feb. 1.-THE two
connection with the murder Of Mrs
Faust are being held in Jail until un-
doubted evidence as to their guilt or In
nocence is secured.
In the meantime. the interest is again
transferred to the scene of the murder,
fourteen miles from here, from where my
information is, that the officers and citi-
zens are still at work in the effort to
obtain further evidence, but so far but
little news has been unearthed.
1t seems impossible to get any trace
beyond what the prisoner Epes has told
,1pon himself. Had he been able to keep
his own secret it would probably have
never been known, but with apparent
guilt upon his conscience he was fo.ced
to relieve the burden In some way, and
the most satisfactory way to him was
in trying to place the guilt upon some
ons else. *
One building in the negro quarters OF
the county poor-house, situated two
miles from this place, took fire and
burned during last night. The inmates.
twelve in number. managed to escape
without injury, although leaving their be-
longings. t-sf55
Randall Jones, an aged colored man
who resided upon the farm of Lawrence
Rux, in Lunenburg county. about ten
miles from this place. was found dead
in the field few mornings since. An in
quest was deemed unnecessary by the
local Justice, as it was evident death was
from natural causes. He had apparently
gone for wood tire night before, as his
axe was found near him. For some years
his mind had been weak.
