.LOCAL MATTERS.
AN A< VIDEXT THAT WASN'T AX ACCIDENT,
i -n y. -terday afternoon about 1 o'clock our
? ;;/??!!> were startled with a rumor that the
< and ( ?hio tunnel had fallen in at
>l.:ift No. under Twenty-fourth street,
and jiM a: the spot where the lamented
- Itoltou met with his >ad fate. A
reporter inimediately hurried to
t he - ! ?< >t ? and was told by Mr. MeXalierny,
.it the western entrance, that it was deci
de;!!} in. >r-' of a scare than a hurt. While
ii"; doubting that gentleman's word, otirre
I-re?. ntative jirefcrrcd to go in and look for
if. Aftera scramble through the dark,
! i v. liic!? he lost hi- note-bo<?k and lead pen
cil. and came near breaking' his neck, the
man came upon a working party
? ?I about twenty men. who were busily en
- i?*- d reinforcing the track laid with heavy
?i::;!?Ts. I'pon inquiry, and after careful
? ariiination, it wa- found that about a space
f t'ft* ;i or twenty feet of the road bed was
rath-r I?ms,. and insecure, which caused the
?ide? :.i crack and the track-bed to bulge
There had been no caving nor
any accident whatever that we could dis
euver. Heavy timbers were laid parallel
with the track along the insecure space, and
a? ross these timbers were laid hcavv sills.
I lie road bed and track was reinstated upon
this strong *u Instruct lire, and at 10 o'clock
l:i-r evening the track was perfectly clear
from on ?? end of the tunnel to the other.
i >k a i> ami 1 "nknom'x. ? .lust before 4
? ?'clock yesterday morning, as the east ward
bound express train on the Chesapeake and
< >hi-> railroad was between Wickham's and
Hanover Courthouse, the engineer noticed
something lying across the track which he
: >k to be a calf, and he immediately put on
the brakes and tried to stop the train, but
owing to the train being so close on it and
running at such speed it could not bo
stopped. It struck the object and knocked
it on one side of the track. The train was
stopped a*> soon a* possible, and on going
back found the object to be a white man,
w ho was found to be dead and very badly
mutilated, the stomach being torn open. It is
thought that the man fell oil' of another train
and was so badly hurt as not to be able to
get otl" the track in time for the express.
The body was turned over to a section-mas
ter, and it now awaits identification.
Dead Body Identified,? -The dead body
found in the dock on Saturday has been
identified as that of 'William Metlach, the
fireman of the Wvanoke, and not the pilot,
as vras first supposed. He leaves a wife and
one child, and was an Odd-Fellow in good
standing.
Sudden Death,? Captain Jatues B, Coles
died very suddenly at his residence, on
( i race between Twenty-fifth and Twenty
sixth streets, on yesterday afternoon. De
ceased was a highly-esteemed citizen, and
married a sister of lion. Shelton F. Leake.
A Destekate Chakactek.? Hezekiah
Johnston (colored) was arrested yesterday,
idler considerable difficulty, upon a. charge
of trespassing upon the premises of G. (not
Gilbert^ Walker, and trying to cut off a po
liceman's head with an axe. Hezekiah will
doubtless come to his senses by the time the
l*ol ice-Justice gets through with him.
A Difficci.t Slkoical Ofebatiox.? Holi
day morning a child four years old was
brought to the Medical College free dispen
sary to have a button removed from its ear.
The mother of the child stated that about a
month ago, upon returning home from her
work, she found that her child had got a
button in its ear. She immediately carried
the child to a physician, who failed to re
move the foreign obstruction (called in com
mon parlance a button), and the child since
had suffered intense agony. Dr. 1'. S. Jeter,
surgeon in charge of the dispensary, assist
* ed by Dr. James I>. M on cure, made a care
ful examination, and found that the button
had been punched through the tympanum,
and was tightly wedged in the internal ear.
The child was put under the influence of
chloroform, and after repeated attempts the
button w as removed. The button was the
size of an ordinary cherry-stone. The child
ia now doing well.
Cjty J ah. Telegraph Station.? A tele
graph station has been established at the
city jail. This is a good move; and there
will hereafter be no excuse if a prisoner
dien from jim-jams or taking too much ar
senic without prompt medical attention.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
ST. JOSEPH'S ORPHAN ASYLtJI.
A BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENT? CLOSING
EXERCISES OF A FAVORITE INSTITUTION
ADDRESSES BY BISHOP GIBBONS AND GOV
ERNOR KEMPER.
There are few institutions in our city that
enjoy more popularity and more of the good
wishes of the people of Richmond than St.
Joseph's Orphan Asylum. Its system is so
perfect, its objects so pure, and those who
have charge or it are so endeared to our peo
ple by their acts of benevolence and charity
in war and in peace, that its annual "exhibi
tions " prove among the most interesting of
our educational reflnions. On yesterday the
spacious hall of the asylum was filled to
overflowing, and many of our best citizens
were present; among whom we noticed '
j Governor Kemper, Mayor Keilcy, Justice !
I White, and Messrs. John Gibbons (brother
i to the Bishop) and George Swarbrick, of
I New Orleans ; while the Catholic clergy was j
j represented by Bishop Gibbons, Fathers
? Janssens and Moore.
I The hall was handsomely decorated, and
! presented a brilliant appearance. It may
be well worthy of special notice that the
good Sisters of Charity who have charge of
this institution have under their care some
sixty-five or seventy orphan children, whom
i they not only support and educate but sup
j ply with good homes when they have com
j pleted their education. They have also a
j large parochial school, in which a great
1 number of scholars are educated free of
| charge. The academy proper in part sup
j ports the charitable part of the institution,
j which is, to take it all in all, not only an
j ornamental but a useful addition to our city
educational establishments. "We append a
j full report of yesterday's proceedings.
THE MUSICAL I'ISOCKAJiMB.
| Promptly at 4 o?clock P. M. the pupils
'of the Academy, in beautiful and tasteful
i attire, tiled into the hall in couples, and
j after making their obeisances to the distin
guished visitors aud audience took their
j places on aud about the platform; during
: which a grand march from Tannhauser, by
Wagner, was played on three pianos by the
3Iisses T. Toppin, B. Lubbock, L. Kirk,
L. lley, and L. Phillips. This was followed
by a programme of vocal and instrumental
selections, as follows :
Valse Duet, Soprano and Mezzo Soprano,
Gumbert, Mrs. Ward aud Miss X. O'Kccfc;
Variations Brilliantc, piano, four hands,
j Lucia, X. Louis, Professor and Miss T.
Toppin; Grand Solo and Chorus, Uoberto
il Diavolo, Meyerbeer ; Duo, piano and vio
loncello, Stradclla, Cramer, piano, Miss L.
Thilow; Chorus, Bohemian Girl, Balfc;
: Immortellen Valse, three pianos, Gung'I,
Misses ii. Kennedy, S. Fcldcnheimer, E.
Casey, M. Morrissey, L. Wendlinger, and
I.. liose; Quarrel Among the Flowers, by a
band of little girls (well acted and well
sung); Grand Solo and Chorus, "Miserere,"
Trovatore, Verdi ; Overture, two pianos,
j " Poet and Peasant," Suppe, Professor Thi
! low and 3Iiss B. Lubbock ; Solo, Soprano
and Violoncello, "Flower by the Way,"
Abt, piano, 3Iiss B. Lubbock; Grand Trio,
two Sopranos and Alto, Campana, Mrs.
Ward and Misses B. Lubbock and T. Top
pin; Grand Chorus, Ernani, "Hail Us,
ye Free," Verdi.
AVhile all the various parts of this pro
gramme were remarkably well rendered,
both in vocalization and in the manipul:*
tions of the pianos, we cannot permit the
opportunity to pass without paying a de
served compliment to the teachers, Mrs. W.
II. Ward and Professor Thilow, for the
faithful manner in which they have dis
charged their duties during the past ses
sion. This was particularly noticeable in
effective rendition of the several grand cho
ruses, which were of an order far above
the usual cla>s of musical selections on oc
casions of this kind. It is a good indication
of the health and growth of the musical
taste in our community to see such artistic
programmes presented and well executed
j by the juvenile scholars of our schools,
public and private. This was not only no
I ticcable yesterday, but also on several pre
I vious occasions of a like nature.
At intervals during the programme, liev.
| Father Janssens read the names of the mcr
j itorious pupils, while the Governor and the
I Bishop, each in turn, presented the awards.

ADDRESSES BY THE BISHOP AXD THE GOV
ERNOR.
The Bishop then briefly addressed the
audience and pupils, expressing himself
very much edified and pleased at the beau
tiful and entertaining exhibition he had just
witnessed, fie felt that he had reason to
he proud of the schools of the Church.
There were now one thousand children
daily attending the Catholic schools of Rich
mond. Or all of them, however, this was
the most favored. It was established forty
years ago, and had grown and - prospered
with the city, and the great number of chil
dren which had been educated there by the
i good Sisters had been and were now orna
j ments to society and blessings to the com
; munity at large. The Bishop expressed his
i satisfaction at the presence of such an audl
? ence, and was particularly glad to see hi*
i Excellency the Governor, upon whom he
i called to say a few words.
Governor Kemper ascended the platform,
' and spoke eloquently and feelingly in rela
, tion to the entertainment, the school, and
i the good Sisters. In witnessing the cere
monies just concluded he had received far
I greater pleasure than words could express,
j He would in gratitude make some return,
but it was almost wholly out of his power.
! He was impressed in his mind that the
i young ladies had been obedient, cheerful,
and good learners. They were drinking
learning from a pure and good fountain,
and were now passing through the most
interesting and practical periods of their
lives. Every one was the architect of their
own fortunes, and as in proportion to the
manner they took advantage of their pre
sent opportunities, so they would reap the
benefits.
The Governor concluded by recounting a
most interesting incident of his own life,
which occurred during the late war at the
memorable battle of Gettysburg, where,
sorely wounded, with no hope of life, he
had been ministered to and attended by the
: good Sisters of Emmettsburg, and, with the

Excursions and Pic-Nics.? The heated

found In our advertising columns of excur
sions and pic-nics awayfrom the city. We
continue our notice* of a few of them this
morning:
"Curl's Neck," one of the most beautiful t
and attractive points on James river? the
very name of which suggests rest and re- j
I freshinent ? is the spot selected by Trinity i
Lodge, No. 91, 1. O. G. T., for their first j
grand excursion and basket pic-nic. The !
steamer will leave the Old Dominion Steam- j
ship Company's wharves at o'clock this i

Now, Mossingford is a pretty place, and pas
sengers can (round-trip ticket) lqave Rich
mond at 5:50 Wednesday, have a pleasant
day in the country, and return the same eve
ning. 3Ir. Richard V. Gaines is chairman
of the committee of arrangements.

Arrangements have been made with the
J proprietors of the leading hotels in Rich
' mond by which excursionists can be accom
modated at greatly-reduced rates.
Leaving Richmond, they can select any
one of the numerous, routes to Philadelphia
which they may prefer, as all of them offer
special inducements to excursionists. The
excursion promises to be a success, and is
j under the direct management of Messrs.
; Neale <fc Co., of this city.
The Children in the Square.? In our
report of our interview with the Superin
tendent of Public Buildings in our last
Thursday's issue we designed it to be un
derstood as a mere piece of pleasantry, and
not in*rcality as having occurcd as reported.
The Superintendent stated that the order
for the children to be allowed to play on the
! Square would be continued until otherwise
ordered by the Governor.
Richmond Literary Association.? This
j popular Association held its final celebration

| Minor at the Virginia Opera-House last eve
i ning was a most delightful affair. There
i was present a large and fashionable audi
i ence. The Centennial Song, by Miss II.
I and .Master AY*;, was excellent, as was also
' the song " Little Sweetheart," by the same
1 parties. The Butterfly quadrille, by eight
! little girls, was a pleasing feature of the
evening. -Master Mounty Walker was pre
j sented with a beautiful star-shaped silver
I medal "by a friend," inscribed "Reward
| of Merit," accompanied with a note saying
jit was "in recognition of his volunteer
j efforts to please the public during the con
: cert season now closing." ? And the little
| souvenir was well deserved.
Arrangements for Ratification.?" The
Hayes and Wheeler City Ccutral Campaign
Club " will meet at Davenport's Hotel to
night to arrange for a ratiiication meeting.
mantiiester news.
I
Our reporter was in great luck yesterday.
He was within three inches and a quarter of
mortal dissolution on Saturday by dint of two
promenades over the free bridge; but on
yesterday he went over in style with a
youth not "to fortune and to fame un
known " after a spirited nag. He could not
but feel that he was a man of estate, and
: therefore had a right to prognosticate as to
contemplated improvements which would
adorn Richmond and perhaps annex Man
chester.
The journalistically-inclined gentlemen
who daily wear out three cents' worth of
shoe-leather could spend ten cents in car
tickets if the city railway would extend its
lines Manchesterward, and thus economize
to their hearts' content. Everybody about
these parU wants a bridge over the basin
and a street railway to Manchester. City
Engineer Johnson is busily engaged ad
justing the grades of 3fanchester, and from
the industrious manner with which he
pushes his work it may be judged that ex
tensive improvements are contemplated.
The streets are being graded from Stock
ton to Perry and" from Seventh to Twelfth
streets. As the work progresses it will be
put under contract. "Lary" Johnson,
the efficient city engineer, like your own
city engineer (C'utshaw), wishes by practical
illustration to show the authorities here
that they have much water-power to be de
veloped, and in course of time Manchester
may look for new gas- and water-works.
A Chicken Killer. ? William Briggs was
arraigned before his Honor the Mayor for
killing Mr. Sturdivant's chickens* The
chickens had nothing to say ; but enough
was adduced to warrant his Honor to bind
the accused to keep the peace toward all
chickens in the sum of 260.
A Sabbatorial Deviator.? Edward Baker
(colored) was arraigned on a charge of sell
ing liquor on Sunday to a very sensitive
African gentleman, who stated to the Mayor
" dat he didn't had no injections of Mr. Ba
ker sellin liquor on de holy Sabbath day,'
but he went in dar at his "place to git "a
drink, and ey he poured out his drink he
poured a whole glassful, and de bar-keeper
suggest dat he better git another glass for
his bitters, which was a very signifvin in
sult to de manner of his drinkra, and in
speshal as to de 'mount whar he drink; and
dis was a thing dat he didn't Mow no gen
tleman to suggestify towards him." The
case was continued.
Snake-Bitten.? Walter Graham, a youth,
was bitten by a copperhead snake yesterday
afternoon while returning from swimming,
near the Old Dominion granite quarry. He
was given a half barrel of whiskey, more or
less, and at last accounts was doing well.
A Dangerous Man.? Joseph E. Johnston
(not he of loved memory and Confederate
fame), a colored citizen, was charged with
being a dangerous man, in this that he car
ried a large-sized loaded pistol concealed
about his person, and threatened the life
of Spencer Woodson. He was put under
9-iOO bail until the argument of his counsel*
Colonel Dishers (so our note-book that we
lost in -the tunnel says),, could be heard.
Our memory, however, tells us that Colonel
Ambers is counsel for the prisoner.
A Disabled Officer.? 1 1. A. Cogbill, the j
popular county clerk, who has suffered
since the war from a wound in his eye, has
been allowed leave of absence for ten days.
He has been working too hard and too con
stantly, and as an old German friend of his
says: "Mr. Cockpill, uf you don't petta
keep your eye in your bogget undt not
use him so much I tink you better go home
undt go blind all mit yourself " Mr. Cog
bill will be all right by the time his leave is
out. ?
i Clean Out Your Gutters.?' The following,
property-owners were reported to "Dinks"
yesterday for allowing too much grass to
grow: A. I>. Duesberry, Ivanhoe Harris,
Nunnally &? Sons, Town Hall, Mayor's

i Manufacturing Company, Miss Adams, R.

Scholarship in McGulre's School : W. T. Daniel, J.
A. Lancaster. Scholarship In Washington aud Lee
University : Arthur M. Sieger. ?
** University scholarship of session 1874-'5.
y'ote.? It Is proper to say, in explanation of the
number of honors, that the rules provide that they
, shall fall to tccr;/ boy who reaches the rc?iuircd
I standard; that this circumstance excited very gene
ral effort; and that here, as elsewhere, proper effort
always wins success.
The scholarship in McGulre'.s School is divided be
tween two contestants because their averages differed
by a very small fraction, and It was manifestly un
just to decide such a question by so inadequate a test
as a numerical estimate of school-standing. We
congratulate ourselves that the mere success of one
candidate does not consign to chagrin and secret
inortilication another whose noble effort deserved
worthy recognition.
The rules further provide that a student who, having
won the University scholarship of oue session, at
tends school for another, shall not be a candidate for
school-prizes. J. I'. McGuire,
