VIRGINIA'S NEW wHIPPING-PoST CODE
Virginia's new criminal code, writes a
correspondent from Richmond, will be-
come operative on the 1st of July. I'm
der it one or more whipping-posts will be
established in each city and county with
in the Commonwealth. In future there
will be no imprisonment.for petty larceny
except for second ofienses, and where, in
the judgment the Justice or Judge, the
condition of female offender may rem
der stripes unadvisable. The Legisla-
ture determined on this change at the
last session in view of the crowded condi'
ton of heprisons, the cost of maintain
ing convicts, and the impovershment Of
the Commonwealth's financial resources
The right of appeal from the judgment
of justice to trial byjury. is, of course,
reserved. There is some division of opin'
ion as to the necessity for the re-estab
lishment of the whipping-post, but the
majority Of the people undoubtedly ex
pect great things from it as an economi
cal and crime-preventing measure.

AN OIL EXP PORT SCHEME.

A project is on foot among the oil re-
finers outside of the Standard monopoly
to protect their interests and ship their
oil to the seaboard for export. A num-
ber of representatives of several of the
largest exporters in the United States
have been in Pittsburg for several days
to ascertain what could be done in the
way of getting shipments to Huntington,
Va, and thence tb the seaboard by the
Chesapeake and OHIO railroad. A few
cargoes will be shipped as an experiment
over this route, their destination being
France, and it is not the intention of the
parties interested to fight anybody, but
merely to take care of the French trade.
| is stated that 1900 brrrels were shipped
on Saturday.-PitSburg( (Pd) Post, June
