MACE r. R.-AIr E. C. Vincent the Engineer
in charge fthe railroad now being built fl ON
Wiillamsons to Callie Furnace. was in town
last week, and reports work on the improve
ment as being rapidly pushed to completion.
Messls. Hileman, Cooke, & Co., of Wrights-
vile, Penn. are the owners of Callie Furnace
and the valuable mineral deposits adjacent
thereto. This firm is building the road
from Williamsons to their properly, and have
now employed upon it working force of
over one hundred hands. The gauge will
be uniform with that of the C. & O.. R.R.
but the alignment and grades will be al
most unprecedently heavy. The maximum
grade reaches 29G feet to the mile, with $40
curves. When completed the road will be
equipped with an engine built for the espe-
cial purpose, weighing 6G.OOO pounds an d
adapted to the extraordinary work it will
have to accomplish. The entire line is some
eight miles in length, and will be completed
in three months.
The Calie Furnace property is represent
ed as one OF the most valuable mineral depos-
its in the mountains of Virginia. The tract
is one immense bed of iron ore, and with the
facilities for placing the product of the fur
mace on the market, which the road now un-
der construction will afford, there can be
little doubt OF its proving one OF the most
remuneratlye OF the iron plants in this Sec
ton,

Ler letter will be read with more than the
usual interest. We hazard nothing in say
ing that she has no superior in descriptive
power. Her style is so natural, so free from
all preteEsion, yet SO elegant in the con-
struction of the sentences, and dellcately
charming in the thoughts presented, That the
reader only regrets when the en- d is reached
that the letter is finished. We will favor
sthe readers OF the VIRGINIAN with another
of her articles next week.
In this connection, it is not improper to
refer to another correspondent. IN. v. D."

ladies directing their talents in such useful
channels, and it is still rarer that a weekly

ourselves and our readers on our good luck.
and hope to be able to continue the publi-
cation of their productions in future num-

REPRESENTATIVE H1NER.

At the close of the regular discussion, loud
cries were made for Liggett and Hiner, both
of whom were in the audience. Liggett de-
clined speaking for the reason that the Judge
was waiting for the Court Room, but Hiner
pushed to the platform and waving his hand
at the turbulent sea of faces, (for the house
was now full.and shouts, groans and catcalls
resounded from all sides.) commenced what
would probably have been a heightened
appeal, had not the Interruptions poured
upon him from all sides.
AS it was: he sailed into Paul with gloves
off, and the Buckingham pet' came back
with so much vim that things began to look
lively, and the brightest antcipations were
INDUCED Of something like repetition of
former Harrisonburg scenes, but presently
there came comparative lull, and the
meeting broke up in an uproar, above which
liners voice arose.
During the progress Of the meeting, John
Paul announced himself for reelection to
the senate next fall, and Messrs. Harrison
and Barbee stated that they would be can
didates for the Legislature.

A Jewish Emigration Sch eme.

The New York "Times states that an
emigration movement that may posi-
bly, assume proportions OF some impor-
tance has recently been set OIL foot by
Jewish residents in that city, and looks
to settlement in homes in the far west
either of newly arrived INDECENT Jewish
immigrants, or of families that have
been impoverished by the hard times.
Atpresent the movement includes only
about fifty families, in all more than
one hundred and sixty persons, most
Of whom are recent arrivals from Hun
gary and from other European coun-
tries, but Ii is not limited TO such, and
any persons wishing to commence life
anew are invited to join the colony.
The project is to obtain suitable lands
on as favOra ble terms as possible, and
to parcel them out into farms, each i'm
migrant acquiring the title to his prop
erty on certain easy conditions. As
now composed the colony embraces
farmers, skilled artisans, carpenters,
plumbers and others who have worked
at trades, but all of them very poor
and decidedly in need of helping
hand. A convention has been called
Of prominent Jewish citizens, to meet
on July 7, in New lcrk, in order to
consider the best method of carrying
into execution an extensive sbheme of
colonization.

A Victory for the Strikers.

On Saturday last the weavers on the
Brandywine, mostly girls, in the mills
lately under the management of James
Riddle, Son 4 Co., but now under the
management of the Arlington Mills,
struck for an advance of II cents per
"cut." They had been receiving 55
cents, and the demand was for 81. The
demand not being granted, all the hands
with the exception of two, quit work
and prepared to leave, but as they were
passing out Of the gates they were re-
called by MIR. Grimes, who then agreed
to give them the advance asked for.
The striking weavers and the propri-
etors of the Arlington mills, 9th Ward,
have not yet agreed upon compromise.
A meeting was to be- held this forenoon
to consider the matter. Some of the
strikers went to Riddles mills on Sat-
urday afternoon, where they were EN-
ployed.
The Arlington strikers want IS cents
per "cut" CT that number of yards, or
one cent per yard.

Archbishop rurcelrsTroubles

The Trustees appointed in the early
stages Of Archbishop purcell Gnan
cial embarrasments have presented a
report, in which they state that 3,4s5
creditors have presented claims TO the
amount of 81, 1861 81. Besides this
tn. Rev. Eds ard Purcell owes to div
ers banks the sum Of sll7,000. lie
moreover owes to three parties the sum
of SS5, 900, which is secured by mort
gage on real estate, making the sum
total of all liabilities known to trustees

tn. assets of Rev. Edward Purcell con.
sists Of divers pieces, of real estate. on
which the trustees had fixed no value,
besides which notes of hand and open
accounts to the nominal value OF s4S4,
900.
1t is considered probable that many
valuable costs and claims Of Mr.. Pur-
cell will yet be discovered. The trus-
tees are utterly at loss to ascertain
the disposition of this immense amount
OF money. II is believed that consid-
erabie sums were spent on the cathe-
dral, seminary and orphans asylum.
The trustees conclude: 'In all our in
vestigations we have found no reason
to suspect any dishonesty on the par.
of Father Purcell, but We do find that,
in addition to the large amount
paid AZ interest, bad investments,
shrinkage in value, misplaced conf
dence and unbusinesslike management
are the causes of the sad calamity which
We most deeply deplore and which We
have in vain endeavored to remedy
We must now call upon the generosity
of the clergy and laity of the Diocese Of
Cincinnati and the country at large tc
provide means for the relief OF the suf
ierings OF the many poor who have been
thus deprived of their support in theil
old age and in the time of need"

''you don't want her to have another, or
sue because she did not get one." He
decided, however, that, objection being
made, the question was not proper at
the time. Mrs. Oliver then testified as

said the engagement OF marriage was
made in 1875, and submitted three let

SAD A HiictlOn.

Little Everard Foulke Skillman a
very bright and promising little boy
who would have been six years old
next Friday, died at the residence of
his parents S32 West Seventh street on
Sunday morning. He was the only
shild of William and Louisa Skillman
whose hearts are almost broken on &C
count of their sad and sudden bereave.
ment. Everacd was taken sick on
Monday last with diptheria which cul.
minated in the Group and of which he
died az stated. A striking coincidence
between his death and the death of lit
tie Anna NJ. Hersey year ago, is
worthy of notice. Little Anna was the
first infant scholar that died in the in
fant Sunday School of the Union M. X.
Church last year just three days be-
fore the meeting OF Conference.
Little Everard is the first that died
from the same infant school this year,
and also just three days before the
meeting of Conference. Everard and
Anna while both were living were very
warm friends and were much together.
The little boy in his childish imagina-
tions, had years Of future happiness
pictured out for the future when he
and Anna were to live toge,h her in a
marble palace on Market street. These
were childish dreams of course, but in
their cases the marble alace now looms
up as more than childish imagination.
Only those who have been similarly
bereaved can realize the feelings of Mr..
and Mrs. Skillman under this sad be-
reavement. The funeral of little Ever
ard will take place on Wednesday af-
lernoon. Rev. J. B. Mann who will
leave conference in the afternoon, will
ofiicate at the funeral. The good die
