A MEETING of the bar OF Richmond

A MEETING of the bar Of Richmond
was held yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF taking suitable action upon
the death OF Edward Brown, colored,
who. for more than four decades was the
ianitor and assistant in the state law IL
brary, and during that time had made
himself OF incalculable aid to two genera
tons of lawyers. He knew the books
in the library perfectly, and no request
for a volume, regardless Of its title or
the infrequency OF its use, but would
be supplied by the faithful custodian.
No.colored man, certainly in recent
years, counted more staunch friends
among white people.
The state law library was closed
today by order OF the court at
the instance OF Librarian w. w. Scott,
in honor OF the memory OF Brown.
Many members of the Richmond Bar
Association attended the funeral this
evening,
In commenting on the bar meeting
the Richmond Times Dispatch says:
1t is to say the least, unique for a
bar association, composed only OF
white men, to be called in special SEES
sion to pass resolutions upon the death
OF colored man, but the members OF
the local bar feel that, in view OF the
courteous and respectful service rem
dered by Brown during his lifetime,
and in further view of his usefulness
and knowledge, it would be unappre-
ciatiye not to show in some manner
their regard for the faithful servitor.
This would not have happened in the
north and the people OF that section
will not understand the incident nor do
they understand the kindly feeling that
exists among the white people OF the
south for their well behaved colorcd
brethren,

BOMB IN A SEWER.

Somebody dropped a powerful dyna-
mite bomb into q sewer excavation on
Prince street, in the heart of New
York's East Side Italian district, early
Wednesday, and the explosion which
followed rocked the earth for radius
of several hundred yards as if by an
earthquake. Two nearby tenement
houses were badly damaged, but all the
occupants escaped injury. Two hundred
windows were broken and damage
estimated at S4, 600 vas done to walls
and store fronts. The shock of the ex-
plosion was so severe that all the tene-
ment dwellers in the two buildings were
thrown from their beds. None of the
tenement dyellers would admit having
received threatening letters.

OUTSIDE THE BREAsTwORKs.

AS stated in the Gazette on that day,
Mr.. J. V. Trehy, at the Second district
democratic convention on Tuesday,
threw enough votes from Young to
Holland to secure the nomination for
Congress for the last named candidate.
Trehy, the Norfolk boss" realized
the inevitable and was the first of the
allies to grasp conditions. By so doing,
no matter what the motive, Trehy
has added several powerful spokes to
his own wheel, not only in the counties,
but in his home city, where Holland
was backed by more than 1000 votes.
Trehy some hours later was asked as
to the significance of his action and
the consequence OF the vote rs affect
ing outside politics.
"You may say" Trehy replied,
that | am outside the breastworks
when the state organization is con-
sidered. l have cut loose from the
state crowd and for cause. prefer
that you would not print whether !
am for or against Senator Martin, but
when the state machine is mentioned,
l am an alien. Neither l nor my Nor
folk friends hereafter form a party OF
parcel of the state organization,
Though the declaration was noncom'
initial as to Senator Martin, Trchy's
words are significant. Trehy is the
strongest democratic leader in the
Second district, and the tone OF his in
terview means that some thousands
of Second district votes will be against
Senator Martin, no matter who hi:
opponent may be. Trehy turned
against the state machine" wheE

gold democrat, Bryan democrat, Tam
manyite, anti-Tammanyite, friend of
Croker, and foe of Croker, friend Of
Hearst and foe Of Hearst, has signed
