The meeting OF the Business Mems As
ISOLATION held last night in the Leader
building was characterized by speeches
by several members who wanted to see
the city made more beautiful, the streets
better and the general appearance such
as to invite capital and manufacturers.
This was the Eists of the meeting. ME.
D. L. Pulliam called the meeting to order
| with a good attendance Of members. The
question Of the proposed bridge across
James River, on or. near the site of Mayo.s
Bridge, took up much OF the time. Inc
Association suggested, and asked the
members of the press to make notice OF
the fact, that the sidewalk between the
Richmond end Of Mayos Bridge and Cary
Street was in such condition that per-
SON not familiar with the street would
be. liable to serious injury at night. The
members thought the Richmond Council
had only to be advised of the condition
of the street in order to have it given
needed attention. The crossing at the In
ion Depot was discussed, but after one

piece Of machinery placed there yester-=
day the matter was dropped.
In the advertising Of Manchester those
present took a good deal of interest. There
was a resolution adopted asking all mer-
chants who do much correspondence to
have the name of the city printed on the
back of the envelopes, and, if possible,
some Of the inducements offered to man
ufacturers. On motion of Mr.. Dunford.
a committee. consisting Of Mr.. Dunford.
DR.. Mathews, A. G. Gallagher. Stanley
Hall and DR.. Hill, was appointed to make
some provisions for beautifying the city.
Mr.. Dunford made a good talk on this
subject, saying the city needed as much
pulling down as it did building. He had
reference to the old buildings on Hull
Street, which, he said, were g, menace to
the prosperity and growth of any city.
DR.. Mathews brought to the attention
of the association the fact that an at
ternoon paper, which had a representative
in Manchester, gotsout its first edition
without any Manchester news. Speaking
Of the advertising of the city, he thought
this a very bad way to do so. The mat
ter was referred to the Executive Com
mittee to see the managers Of the pa

ITB WAS TAKEN SICK.
The City Committee will be asked at
its meeting tomorrow night to make an
exception in the case Of Mr.. Waverly
Nunnally, candidate for assemblyman
from the First Ward, and allow him to
enter the primary. Mr.. Nunnally was
taken suddenly i'll Monday afternoon and
was therefore unable to attend the meet
ing Of the committee that night and en-
ter his name.
The entertainment given last night by
the Olympia Club and the Select Council,
Daughters of Liberty, was a decided sue
cess. The ladies in charge Of the enter
tainn1ent realized a good sum. There
was good singing by the Imperial Quar-
tette Of Richmond, composed of NIessrs.
Wilbon. Hill. Brooks and Weisiger. A
beautiful song was rendered by Miss Ger
trude Allen. This young lady showed re-
marka BILE talent, and received tremendous
applause. The bazaar will continue
through the week.
THIEVES WORKING OVERTIME.
The home of Mr.. j. w. Brooks, No. S
West Twentieth Street. was visited by.
thieves Monday night and the rear
blinds taken Off The glass in the window
was broken out and this awakened the
inmates. The burglars made their es-
cape. The police were notified Of the
attempt yesterday morning, and are now
at work on the case. This is the third
time within the week the police have
been notified of either attempts or rob
berries. When the thieves get to work
over here the people at once ask Tor
more police. and this cry is getting so
universal that it is thought the city faith
ers. will have to yield to it, and order
at least several more me1lsto so on. Two
men on at night are thought hardly ade-
quate to the demand, when the thieves
get down to business, as they are now.
WITH MAYOR MAURICE.
In Police Court yesterday. Basil
johnson, q wlliteman, was up on the charge
Of getting drunk. Some candidate cele-
brating last night must have been the
indirect cause of this. Nevertheless, the
mar was taxed 81, and not having it in
his clothes. he left a very nice watch
In the hands of the sergeant, and went
out to- get the money. After being gone
for about twenty minutes, he came back,
and gave the money to Clerk Wright
This was the only case before the court
