In the presence of 30,000 French pilgrims, practically, all the bishops of France, many cardinals and descendants of the family of the new saint, the solemn ceremonies in the beatification : of Joan of Arc were carried out In St Peter's Sunday. According to the rubric, the pope does j not attend, beatifications in person, but, as a mark of special devotion, heassisted this afternoon at a solemn j benediction, which replaced the cere-1 mony.of the veneration of relics, none existing in this 'case. ' Soon after daybreak streams 'of pilgrims began to arrive in- every imaginable' conveyance. iThey crowded the. great edifice and at 9:30 o'clock, myriads of electric lights burst out. and the organ thundered." The long pro-; cession of cardinals took its place. In the special galleries were the duke of Alencon, the sisters of the pope and a host of French and Italian notabilities.

Conditions at the Jacksonburg building had been such as to make the Instruction of children a matter of difficulty. There were about seventy pupils, and eight grades and the first two years of the high school work covered In the instructions given. . It was necessary to employ two teachers to. do the work and recitations- and Biuay penoas naa to oe - earned on simultaneously within the same room. It' was an occurrence of several times a day for two classes to be reciting at the same time. .The confusion that resulted was such as to put a Chinese school room to sleep. This condition has had to be endured for several years, because of the lack of proper accommodations : for the children. The room was not large enough to admit of a partition being pat in and the heating arrangements, light and other facilities ' were far from adequate.;; . , -.,::.

STREETS IS TO BE CONSIDERED Women Members of Literary Societies Will Hold a Meeting Wednesday With the Commercial Club. DUST IS A VEHICLE TO CARRY DISEASE Women Want to Improve the Sanitary Conditions of Rich? mond and Think This Is an Important Step.

In order that some steps may be taken to improve the streets of the city so that they will not be so dusty, a meeting has been arranged for the members of all the literary societies in the city, and. others who are interested, with Commercial club members at the Commercial club rooms, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Athenaea literary society has discussed the condition a its meetings. The general opinion is that the streets shouldbe -sprinkled for at least eight or ninennonths in the year from a sanitary standpoint, if for no other rea son. "In fact most of th discussion has been along the lines of-sa"nitation and this point will be brought out at the meeting Wednesday afternoon. It is stated that dust carries many thousands of germs and in order to kill the germs, it is necessary to prevent dustCars Raise the Dust. The members of the Athenaea society believe that the streets on which the street car company operates should be sprinkled by this company. It is probable that some action to this effect 'will be taken at Wednesday's hneeting. It is claimed that , the .cars raise mucn oust as tney pass along tne streets, due to the suction. t This has been especially true along Main street, east of Eleventh street, which is the residence section of the street. One of the residents who Is deeply interested in the problem of allaying the dust, stated that the sprinkling wagon never passes along his part of the street. It requires but a very slight breeze to stir up the dust on the bricks, which is blown into the houses to either side. In the summer time, the bricks dry so fast that constant street sprinkling is necessary. Members of the Athenaea society believe that the council men favor a plan of improved sprinkling. The Commer cial club members have considered the matter favorably as have also several members of the Young Men's Business club. ' .

MISADVENTURE CAR JUMPS THE TRACK ON MAIN STREET TRESTLE, BUT OTHER CARS ARE PREVENTED FROM DOING SO.. - 9nly the fortunate breaking of a coupling prevented what otherwise would" have been a serious wreck of a C C. & L. freight train yesterday morning. A box car near the frpnt of the south bound train jumped the rails on th trestle only a few feet north of the Main street bridge between 5 and 6 o'clock. . The car lunged off the trestle, carrying with it a tank car. The coupling broke and the cars be hind were not disturbed. Going Along Slowly. f The slow speed at which the train was moving at the time was partly re sponsible for the absence of a serious wreck. The train -had not finished rounding the curve at the gas house and was running slowly. The car that left the rails was second from the engine. It rose np in the air 'with the front trucks skidding across the ties. It remained in this position only a minute, and before the train could be mopped the rear trucks went off the east side of the trestle throwing the car over. As the car broke away from the one behind and fell. It palled the tank car along. The two turned half way over, remaining on the ground with the trucks In the air. Both cars were empty. They lacked only a few feet of rolling onto the sidewalk. The regular southbound passenger train arrived a short time after the cars had jumped. It was delayed for about two hours, or until the tracks could be put In condition and the freight train continue on its way. A large number of persons on the passen ger train walked to the scene of the wreck and stamped and fretted, because, of the delay. As soon as possible an attempt was made to lift the cars back onto the track. The long lift from the ground to the top of the trestle was too much fox the equipment, however, and other attempts were made today. . . ..
