SAD STORY OF
MRS. CAMPBELL
Family Troubles Have Caused He.
to Lose All Self
Respect.

Mrs Bessie Campbell, the woman who
is now in Jail as a common drunk, and
who has created something Of q stir
in this city by her numerous attempts
at suicide has something of pathetic
story behind it all.
She came here from Philadelphia sew
eral months ago with her husband, who
was engaged in work in connection with
the rebuilding Of the Frankln-Street side
OF the Jefferson Hotel. They took rooms
en- Marshall Street near Seventh, and
lived there for several weeks Then the
husband went to Hot Springs to work.
He sent his wife money to pay her run
ring expenses for awhile. One week the
money did not come, and her landlord
grew importunate, and, finally, with her
rent overdue, she was put out, and her
trunk retained for the amount due. She
claimed that she had clothing enough in
her: trunk to pay her board for several
months if she could get at it to SELL
She then wdat to the City Hall and
told her story to a newspaper man, who
gave her a card to Superintendent DAVIS,
Of the almshouse
Mr.. Davis took her In for a day or two,
pending further information from her
husband Nothing came from him, and
the woman. in a fit of desperation, left
the aln1shouse, and was found later on
the streets in a drunken condition.
She has some degree of refinement, but
her troubles have caused her finer SEN
sitilities to grow subordinate to drink,
and that has been her misfortune.
When she was placed in cell at the
First Station on Monday afternoon, after
having attempted to. jump off Mayos
Bridge, a dynamite cartridge, large
enough to have blown the station house
to pieces, was found in her possession.
Yesterday morning before she was
taken to the courthouse. she seized a
knife at the station. house and at
tempted to cut her throat. Policeman
Kellam saved her And while in the cell
at the courthouse she made an effort to
strange herself with a piece of ribbon.
Last night at the Jail a watch was
placed over her. in order that she might
be prevented from further attempts on
her life.

GOOD DAYS WORK

Many Visit Scene of the Good
Roads Train Opera
tions.

The scene of the demonstration of the
good roads train in practical road build
ing was visited yesterday by good
crowds, showing that the citizens OF
Richmond and the county are taking
much interest in the work.
The feature which attracted most at
tention was the operation of the elevat-
ing grader and loader. This remarkable
niece of machinery is drawn by twelve
mules, and while in motion wagons are
driven beneath it and loaded.
The progress made during the two
DAYS has been most encouraging, and if
the fair weather continues through the
week the demonstration here will he one
of the most successful and satisfactory
made in the State.
The indications are that the conven,
ton, which will be held here tomorrow
and Friday, will be attended by delegates
from all sections of the State. Governor
Montague will attend the convention regu-
larly and take part in its work.
