life was no longer worth living.
Early in the evening the girl passed
through the restaurant on the ground
floor of the boarding house, and climb
ing on Il fence in the backyard, reached

room. Once in the room she tore part
OF her clothing to shreds and stopped

CONVICT CAMPS.
Captain Morgan Makes Tour and
Finds Them in Good Condition.

Captain Evan P. Morgan. superinten-
dent Of the Virginia State Penitentiary.
returned on Saturday night from tour
of inspection of the convict camps In
several of the counties Of the State
Tho condition OF all OF the camps was
reported to be excellent. the health OF
the men good and the sanitary ar
engagements satisfactory.
Captain Morgan had Just COME from
the campsyn Washington and Bedford
counties, where large forces of convicts
are engaged on road work The pro-
gress of the work in Washington county
has been somewhat delayed. owing to
the heavy rains. but during a great
part of the time whom the weather
would not permit labor on the roads the
convicts were used In the quarries, and
the work has therefore progressed in
most satisfactory manner.
It is probable that other requests
will be made for road forces as soon
as settled spring weather can be
counted on.

MAYOR SPEAKS.
Discusses Righteous Living With
Reference to Business Men.

BY special invita- on Mayor Carlton
Glass of Christs Church. Church Hill,
yesterday. The Mayor dwelt upon the
fact that men who engage In vicious
business or occupations likely to cause
only with the idea OF monetary con
siderat ton and without Il thought of the
blessings that would result from n life
of righteousness.
Tho man engaged in the traffic of
whlskey, for instance was In business
only for what money he could make. 1t
was thus with every person whose bus
mess. though perhaps profitable, would
probably lead to the disastrous ending
of a fellow being.
The address was heard by a great
majority of the members of the Bible
class and by many visitors. The Mayor
was, as he always is, outspoken to a
degree.

Three Thousand People.

Fire in a chimney OF tho house ut No.
liz West Duval Street shortly after 8
o'clock last night did little damage, but
caused considerable commotion In the
neighborhood. Apparently more than
three thousand people gathered near
the house. Churches in the neighbour

see the flames.
The alarm was sounded at 1886
o'clock. and few minutes afterward
the engines were on the spot. The
ringing of the bells. telling the location
of the box from which the alarm was
turned in. brought the crowd to the
street.
The damage will perhaps amount to
$40. The blaze was practically out by
