the residents living near patrol and
fire stations take as great an interest
In the horses as we do, and / think Il
will be conceded that we all love our
horses. Prominent men and women
bring all kinds of fruits and delicacies
for the horses. Very soon the horses
come to know them, and about the hour
they are in the habit of calling the
horses are on the lookout. Horses are
very fond of apples and loaf sugar. A
physician living adjacent 70 our sta

stable and brought big apple fer
each horse. He calls about Z o'clock
each morning, ard if he chances to
be few minutes late the horses neigh
and become restless. IL we are ou. on
trip at the time the doctor calls he
leaves the apples, and although they
are beauties, there is not man In ehe
station who would eat one OF them, so
anxious Is everyone that the horses
should not be deprived of their fruit.

REMEDY FOR MUNICIPAL RoTTENNEss.
BY Gov. J.. w. Foil

The most conspicuous fact of municipal gov

are governments by the few and not by the
people. There is more aggressive rottenness and
less aggressive patriotism in our large cities than
anywhere else. If the patriotism can be made
as aggressive as the rottenness the problem of
good government would be solved by the people
taking the government into their own hands II

that the murder was committed, James
Ward, the negro murderer OF Annie Mick

first hint OF his whereabouts Saturday
night, and Chief Ragland, OF Petersburg,
'phoncd to Chief Werner for the detailed
description OF the man., as he had been
located and was ripe for capture. The
description was given and tailed in every
respect with that Of the mullatto in the
hands OF the police Of the CocKade city.
He was brought over early yesterday
morning and put behind the bars

and the surgeons who saw her after the

together In a room near the corner Of
twenty seventh and p Streets, together
With some OF their friends. She made
known desire to go to her home to
see her sick mother, but the big brute in
sisted that she spend the night there.
+ She declined, whereupon he pulled out
MS pistol and shot her IN the abdomen,
the bullet entering in the front and pass
ing out near the spine in the back
Died Saturday.
This was near midnight o. Wednesday,
May %. A call came in for the am
bulance shortly after midnight, and re-
cod time was made over to Church Hill

box. The woman was found suffering
extremely, and while she was given tenn
porary relief by tho surgeon Mr.. Ford
stelcphoned for he police. Sergeant
Bailey. Officers Cox and johnson re-
sponded in double-quick time, and got a
good description Of the man from the
woman.
She was removed to the City Home,
where an ante-mortem statement was
taken before Drs. Trcv.hian, Mason
and Jones. prior to an operation. All
three performed the operation and found
the intestines to be severed completely
In three places, besides the other flesh

were successfully speed. and FOR time
the woman seemed on the road 10 re-
covery. Saturday after the crime, how
ever. peritonits set in and she died the
same afternoon. Coroner Taylor held the
inquest over the body.
The outlook appears very dark for the
murderer. and nothing less than hanging
is looked for by those who know most
about the circumstances Of the deed.
