"A Noble Institution.

A few years ago several noble women
OF this community conceived tho idea Of
establishing homo for their needy Con
federate sisters. They hnd no money,
but succeeded by ana BY IN scraping
together something like a thousand doll
lars, and purchased a comfortable little
home out on Grove Road, paying down
what they had in cash, and giving mort
gage on the property for the deferred pny-
n1ents. The home prospcrcd. Tho man
ayers had more applications than they
could accommodate but tho house was
Kept fill and It proved to be q blessing
to tho inmates.
K The managers soon say, however, that
It was necessary to have a. larger build
Ing, So great was the demand upon thoir
bounty. They held n bnzanr and raised
several thousand dollars and recently
they bought from the Powell estate the
property on Grace Street, which for 80
many years was occupied ns the Rich
mond Female Seminary. They agreed TO
give for this property $4,000 in money
and the present home. They have IN bank
$7,19S.76, and now call upon tho public to
give them $1,000, which will befnecessary
to meet all the payments and put the
building In proper condition for ocou-
pancy. This building IS splendldly ar
ranged and in every way suited for the
purpose to which 1t is now cotsecrated,
and If the managers can secure the cash
they need they Viii have no difficulty
in maintaining the home and caring for
the needy Confederate women who are
received. The people Of Richmond have
been exceedingly generous to the home on
Grove Road giving supplies as often as
they were needed, and the ladies feel
sure that they can carry on the larger
institution without difficulty, IL they can
rid themselves of debt. is
| The officers OF the institution are
Miss Mary GUSTS Lee, president; Mrs
A. J. Montague, first vlce-president; Miss
Ruby Bodeker, second vice president;
Mrs. Simon sycle, corresponding secre-
tary; Miss Mary Sue Due. recording Sec
rotary; Mrs. A. j. Pyle. treasurer. These
ladies give their time FREQ Of charge to
the institution, and they have a right to
expect ythe public to respond to the appeal
which they now make for the sum Of
$4,000.
1t is expected to move into the new
home about July LIST.

Crossing the River.

The James at Richmond Is a much
lbridgctl river and the end Is not yet. It,
is proposed to make of Mnyo's Bridge
not only FREQ bridge but q crossing
place more commodious and satisfactory
than it has ever been before. With varl-
Gus mutations made In the supertsruc-
ture. caused by floods and fires, 1t has
dono public service for more than a ce!l--
fury, and now it is proposed to convert
1T into a steel roati way and make 1T prac-
tlcally ndcstructible.
At ont, time this bridge was supported
by timbcrs. by cribs filled IN with stones;
next the pliers were made Of tmbers set
on masonry and later stone was used
altogether and the level of tho whole.
structure was raised beyond high high
water mark.
The bridge, indeed. has been an evolu-
ton. In the case Of Trent's bridge, built
near the site of the present FREQ bridge.
tho timbcrs were bolted down to the
rocks in the river bed. but they were
moi able 10 withstand the violence OF
the floods and were swept away.
April g. 1865, when Richmond was
evacuated by the Confcderates, Mayo's-
| Bridge was burned. a pontoon bridge
was instantly run across tho river
| by the Incoming troops with It's
northern landing at Seventeenth Street.
Meanwhile the military authorities re-
built Mayos Bridge temporarily, but
substantially. many long Pine poles
being used in part. The military
collected tolls from the citizen pub
lie until they were reimbursed OF the
eNr.nses they had incurred and then the
/ bridge was turned over to It's owners In
$50 tho bridge WAS swept away by the,
great flood, hut was promptly rebuilt,
and in better form than ever before, In
1877 floods again assailcd It and claimed
fiWs spans A proper level to ensure safe
ty from the river having been reached,
Tie bridge has enjoyed immunity from
floods OF late years.
Tho wisdom shown III the selection ol
Tho Fourteenth Street route for bridge
has been proved by long years or ex.
