females are divided as follows:

ESCAPE CONDITIONS
GOOD IN VIRGINIA
COMMISSIONERS DoEERTY RE-
PORTS FIRE EXITS ALL RIGHT
IN THIS STATE.

In speaking of the terrible holocaust
in New York, when 14z persons lost
their lives as result OF lack OF fire
escapes, Commissioner of Labor. Jas
p. Doherty said Tuesday that condi
tions In regards Co FIRE escapes in the
factories throughout Virginia were
very satisfactory and that no such
catastrophe could happen In this State
as occurred IN the great Northern
metropolis last Saturday.
While conditions are satisfactory
Commissioner Doherty asserted that
he found a great deal OF carslessness
in reference to the keeping OF fire es-
capes. Mr.. Doherty says In one In
stance ne found a fiye-gaIlon can OF
gasoline on fire escape and that if a
fire had occurred under such circum-
stances it might have resulted in SER
ious loss of life.
Commissioner Doherty stated he Of
ten found the passage wa. = to fire es-
cape exits blocked with .umt er and
trail OF all kinds. lie had Also found
windows leading to the e~capes. nail
ed up with boards 30 that it would
have been almost impossible to have
gotten out in case of a fire.
Mr.. Dohcrty does not regard this
carelessness or criminal. but attributes
ii entirely to thoughtlessness on the
part OF owners OF the buildings. When
their attention Ia called to such con-
ditions they readily remedy the evil
and IL In seldom that the same Of
tense occurs twice with any one con-
Germ.

SPIDER CROSSES RIVER
IN IT'S OWN BALLOON

During the summer of 1854, about
one hundred of US, members of differ
ent batteries of the Third pennsyl-
vania Heavy Artillery. were sent up
the James River. Virginia, to fortify
on the south side Of the river. some
distance below City Point. We built
a little fort called Powhatan. 1t
seems there was a fort there at some
time before, for az We were digging
We came across some brick arch work.
The fort was on high ground, over
looking the James River, up and down
and over the country beyond. One
fine dav as I stood outside the fort
against the Palisades we put UP, no.
ticed large spider near me. / was
attracted TO II by Its queer manoeu-
vers. I watched, and II began throw
ing up webbing. l watched 1t, az It
still kept throwing 1t up. 1t held on
to II as II threw IL up, until 1t assumed
the shape and form of a balloon. 1t
aoated In the air. and I wondered
what II was going to do. A. there
were small trees and bushes growing
on the aide Of the hill Just below me,
thought II was MAXIM something OF q
balloon or parachute to aid 1t in get
ting down on to them. But when all
was ready. 1t gave a jump and up II
went, with Its balloon carrying It; and
1t went sailing very gracefully on and
q little upward, and sailed on as far
as I could see 1t, going over the river,
and have every reason TO believe that
1t sailed successfully across the river.
which at that point Ii said to be a
quarter of a mile wide.--S. l.. McAlis-

NORFOLK, VA, March se.--James
W. Balm, who was recently appointed

In talking over the Office. which has

much that may call upon the use OF

him to hold a city position. One or

ordinance gives him the authority TO

that the seaier Of weights and meas

matter and the dealers have the as
surance OK Mayor Riddick that he will
assist in having the ordinance amend
