FATAL BLOW.
Young Man Dies After Trip on Tenn
perance Excursion.

Richmond, Sept. 5:-Lee B. Tig-
nor, aged twenty-three, a carpenter,
who was found dying in a pool of wa
ter near the dock Wednesday morn
ing, died as a result OF. a bruise on
the head sustained in fall, and the
effects Of too much alcohol, according
to the findings of DR.. w. H. Taylor,
the coroner, who visited the scene and
viewed the body yesterday.
Tignor, with a number Of friends,
went down the river Tuesday night
on an excursion by the Lehigh Street
Women's Temperance League Of
America. The young men took some
liquor along and when the Pocahon-
tas locked on her return Tignor was
so much under the influence Of liquor
that he was assisted from the boat by
Fred Bonaldi. and Arthur Davis,
friends of Tignor.
Feeling they were unable to get
lhim home they placed him near the
railroad tracks and stayed with him.
They fell asleep and about 3 O'Clock
'yBonaldi awakened. He found 1ignor
wandering around in a pool Of water
which had gathered because Of the
recent rains and freshet. Bonaidi
went to his assistance and got him
from the water Tignor had fallen
and struck his head on the stones
at the bottom Of the pool in which
the water was very shallow.
Tienor was taken TO the First po-
Elice station where about 4 O'clock he
dieG. DR.. Torregrosa, who had been
,called to him could do nothing to
save the young mans life.

GIRLS ON RAMPAGE.
pmates of Industrial Home for Giris
Cause More Trouble.

Richmond, Sept. 5.-Throw1ng the
eighborhood into state of eXclIe-
lent, appearing suddenly at the nous
of some of the residents OF bon
Lir, roaming the environments oil
hat town, and subjecting to indlgnlty
he newly appointed overseer, Wii-
am H.. Turpin, the inmates Of the In
nstrial Home for Girls, near Bon
Dir, have been on an extended nan'
age.
Awaiting themselves of the abb
ence of Mrs. NJ NJ. Light, the SUI
erintendent OF the home, and appar-
pity resenting the appointment OF
(r. Turpin, the girls yesterday morn
pg started on q troube-maklng tour
Ehich did not terminate until Mr..
3urpin found himself in a stretch OF
ark roads about two miles north
the home, with the ultimatum de-
vered to him by the girls that If he
burned again to the home he would
e whipped to death. A large whip
|as brandished over him by one of
ne girls.
The assault on Mr. Tarpln was
iade about $3.50 O'Clock in the
forming. He was working in the
eld when suddenly party Of about
fifteen of the girls, at given sig
ai, descended upon him. Mr.. Iur-
lin was unceremoniously thrown to
he ground, tied and bundled into a
brit which the girls had evidently
Etched up especially for the occa-
ion. Then he was driven by high
rays and byways until piece of
srest was reached, about two miles
.om the home. There, Nafter further
pugh handling and dire threats from
he girls as to what would happen
5 him if he ever returned, he was
1T.
Mr.. Turpin made his way back to
on Air and took the train to Rich
hond. 1t is said that he has been
klvised not to return to the home i'm
tediately.
Residents of Bon Air have become
harmed at the increasing frequency
Il the outbreaks at the girls home,
Ind have asked the authorities OF
chesterfield county to take some
cans of preventing further trouble.
Monday about ten of the inmates OF
lie home escaped and spent the day
aming the country whereabouts and
frightening households. After wear
%g themselves out they returned and
surrendered"
For the past two weeks it IS said
3hings have been in a more or less
lhaotic state at the home, and, while
here were occasional disturbances
here has been nothing to equal the
occurrences of the past three days.

You Don't Yawn When sleepy.

A good, wide. open-mouthed yawn is
a splendid thing for the whole body
says a hygienist. A yawn is natures
demand for rest. Some people think
they yawn only because they are
sleepy. But this is not SO. You yawr
because you are tired. You may be
sleepy also, but that is not the real
cause of your yawning You are
sleepy because you are tired, and you
yawn because you are tired. When
ever you feel like yawning, just yawn.
Don't try to suppress it. And, il you
are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn, Just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way OF
stretching and relaxing the muscles
Indeed, If you are very tired but do
not feel like yawning, there is moth
ing else that will rest you SO quickly
as to sit on a straight backed chair
and, lifting the feet from the floor
push them out In front Of you as far
as possible, stretching the arms, put
ting the head back, opening the
mouth wide. and making yourself
yawn. Those tense nerves will relax
the contracted muscles will stretch
and the whole body will be rested

Thursday This movement was easily
the feature of the day and caused de.
cided weakness in all the interna-

decline did what they could to
raid the market on their own account.
Union Pacific was one of the weak
est issues making new low record
for this movement. On the break there
was relatively little support and the
market disclosed no buying power to
speak of Altogether 10000 or $4,000
shares of stock were sold here for

selling for Montreal There was a
slight rally in some issues before the
close but final prices in most cases
were from half to two and one-half
points below Thursday. There was
very little support In the final trad

business of bashful young man who
had been hanging around the house
for hours In pitiless downpour OF
rain, hoping against hope that his
adored one would invite him in.
Now, then, young Teller, what dc
yer want here? Tryin' to wear the
pavement out, or what?" she de.
manded, sarcastically.
Il reckon I've come a-courtin
your daughter" the shame-faced
youth admitted
oh, y're after Lizzie are yer?
Then take my advice, young man, an
run away an lose yerself My gal
amt goin to marry chap that
hasn't courage to knock at the door
an ak for her-not likely! Why,
when her father came a-courtin me
an found the door locked, he climbed
the backyard wall, strangled the
bull dog, and knocked the old man
silly wi a clump on the jaw. Then
he grabbed hold Of my hand an
showed ring as big as a cart-wheel
on my finger, and told me that the
banns were already up. That's the
sort of husband | want for our Liz
zie; not shiverin' milksop that amt
got sense to come in out of the
rain!"
