Rndy of Boy Buried

The body of Ralph Smith was yesterday
consigned to the grave the second timei ID
Richmond. At the autopsy, in behalf of
the counsel for the defense, the bruises on
the little body were photographed and
PARTS of the internal organs analyzed un-
der the microscope for evidences that
the boy was a degenerate, as charged by
his mother The autopsy is expected TO
have strong bearing on the mothers 5
claim that she beat him TO break him OF
Il vile habit.
Mrs. Estelle Smith, who, it was
thought, would have to bear this trial
alone. has influential friends who have
risen up in her behalf, and some able
lawyers are working hard in her interest.
One of her brothers Or Charles Trwr-
seld) is a wealthy physician of New
York, and has come to her rescue. Her
husband, Shepherd X. Smith, who de-
MED his identity when arrested in New
York, has been fully identified, and is
on the way to Richmond to share with
his wife the charge of numbering their
boy.
All along she has shown more concern
for her husbands welfare than for her
own, AMI has uttered no word to impli-
cate him. She married Smith against
the wishes of her family and friends, and
has lived with him in poverty rather
than 90 to a comfortable home without
him.
Shepherd Smith was indicted by the
grand jury of the Hastings Court OF
Richmond yesterday for larceny, he hav'
ing failed, it is charged, to deposit $50
belonging to his employer, with which
amount he was intrusled the day of his
disappearance.

Manassas a Dry Town.

For the first time in its history Man
assas is without a licensed barroom.
The temperance majority in the town
council won the fight against the liquor
business, and, with the expiration of
liquor licenses on the last day OF April,
Manassas became dry town
The charter of the town provides that
applicants for liquor licenses shall be re-
commend ID by the town council before
the court can consider apple alions for
license, and seven out of the eleven
members of the council have persistenily
voted agan.t recommending any one of
the seven applicants for license TO the
Circuit Court.
The town is likely to remain dry
while the present council is in Office,
though it is rumOIed that three OF the
dry members OF the council have been
won over to the liqror side, and that
the necessary recommendatio ms will be
granted at the next regular meeting, or
al called meetin. of the council. This,
however, is not likely, because all of the
members OF the council opposed TO the
granting of licenses are members of the
AIT aloon League, and they went iut o
the fight with the understanding that
tuey would all stand together in the posi-
ton they had taken on the qucstirn.
All the bars did a rushing business
Saturday night. Leary Il Bro. sold
their entire stock Of liquors at public
auction. Drinks were sold to the high
est bidder, and late Saturday night
drunken negroes caused much disorder
in the town. Special Policeman John
Rector was hurt by being hit with
brick in an endeavor to arrest several
negroes who were fighting. Several
shIts were fired at Mr.. Rector by the
negroes. Mr. Lynch went TO the assis-
tance of Mr.. Rector, and ne was also
injured by the negroes, who made their
escape.

The woman, who was 75 years of age,

But his victim still betrayed signs of life,
and Pekarz therefore thrust long-blsd-
