TIE VALLEY MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIATION
The last number Of the Valley Mutual Life
Association Journal, a sterling and interesting
paper, both in the line OF insurance and general
reading, contains the statement of the condi =
ton of the company on the 1st of January last.
And an excellent statement it is, one which
will attract attention and command admiration
for the management. 1t exhibits cash bal
ance on hand of $10,O39.2S. During the year
there have been received from annual pay
ments and membership fees, exclusive of
agents commissions, $40, 1882; from assess
ments, including cost of collection &c. $l1,-
70 JIG and from other sources 1864 80 making
a total of $23, 1873 33, which amount is balanced
by cash on hand as above, $1,000 paid ON
death claims, and 81 ,O99 90 for officers salaries,
clerk hire, rent and all ether expenses
The assets of the concern on the 81st of De-
cember, every dollar of which is solvent,
amounted to $15,p7o56, with liabilities, not
yet due of 5000.
The popularity of the company and its i'm
proved business is evidenced by the remarka.
bleincrease in the number of policies which
the years record shows The amount of poll
cies in force December 81 1879 was 81 So, 500;
one year later, Decembef "a, 1880, the amount

THE VIRGINIAs, published by Jed. Hotch-
kiss, commenced its second volume with the
number for January, which has been laid on
our table. 1t is impossible to estimate the good
accomplished by this journal during the year.
1t has presented the attractions of the two
States as they could have been presented
through no other medium, and has dissemina-
ted information among our own people which
is simply invaluable. We are glad to know
that it has proven q success, and that 1t enters
upon the second year of its career with the
brightest of prospects for long and prosper
GUS existence. 1T seems strange, though, that
the people of the Virginias, those who are the
real benefciaries. have not been more active in
its support. Throughout the North and East
its value was at once recognized, but our own
people had to be told of it before they seemed to
appreciate. Virginians of both States should
begin to find out that the Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep is over, and that our fertile valleys and
rich mineral deposits are attracting the atten-
ton of the business men, and they should be
ready and willing to encourage any agencies
that will more surely and speedily show to thd
world the great resources we here have, ane
invite to our borders the energy, skill and cap
ital of other States. This the work the Tir-
gtasas is set about to do, and it is work to
which all should lend helping hand.

Paris, 27.-The nihilist conspira-
tors, whose privacy was so rudely
disturbed by the myrmidons of
Andrieux, Tuesday, turn out to
have been peaceful medical students
engaged in the most inoffensive
chemical researches. Montrouge
is treasured, but Andrieux is dis
comftted. He has been unpopular
for long time past, and the ridi-
cule which has attached to him
since the discovery of his tremen-
dous mares nest, bids fair, admin
istratively speaking, to kill him.
Slosson has Just arrived, and will
tomorrow publish a fresh challenge
to VigneauX, offering to play him
again in this city.
London, Throwing men con-
denim the action OF the committee
on the Henley regatta, in regard
to the Cornell crew, in the seYerest
terms. They consider it disgrace
full in delaying the publication of
the refusal until so near the time
of the Cornell crews departure from
America. 1t is thought, although
the Cornell men did not comply
with Henley rules. that all entries
should be made before the 1st of
March. they should have been noti-
fed of the refusal before.
Whitemore, editor of the Sports
man, who saw the Cornells practice
during his recent visit to America
with Hanlan, says they were rowing
then in very good form and would
doubtless have given a good account
of themselves on this side.

of st. Louis, has failed for 80, 900.
1t is stated that Jay Gould con-
trolls the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad.
The suit Of Henry Willard US. Bill
lings and the Northern Pacific was
discontinued on Friday.
Blaine denies the story of his
completely in the Star route frauds,
and his denial is verified by
McVeagh and James.
The Reformed Episcopal church
will reverently and carefully exam
inc the revised Testament with a
view to its ultimate approval.
The government steamboat in
spectOr at Toronto, says he inspected
the Victoria twice last year and re-
garded her safe for river traffic.
There are mutterings of the Star
route storm which is to burst next
week. Appeals and threats are
going up to Garfield to stop the in
vestigation.
The accident to the Victoria was
partly by the crowd moving
from side to side thereby increasing
the oscillation of the boat, which
caused her boiler to shift.
There is a prospect of a division
in the democratic ranks of Mary
and over the question of party man
agement and Interpretations of
money by democratic officers.

WASHINGTON.

Washington, 27.-There is nc
danger that Secretary Window VIII
relax his efforts to punish the
officials guilty of misuse OF pubic
money.
John G. Thompson, sergeant-at-
arms of the House of Representa-
tives since IA, is behind in money
accounts with congressman. He
has been in the habit of drawing
paw for congressman, and holding it
subject to their orders or checks.
He went beyond his means and now
is unable to meet the checks, but the
law is such that his bondSmen can't
be held. It is claimed that some con-
gressmen have been accommodated
beyond what was due them, and that
he will assume every dollar.
The EOe1li1g Star says: The re-
ports. rumors and inuendoes that
Blaine's recent visit to New York
was for the purpose of smothering
something damaging to himself or
friends in connection with the Star
route scandal, were effectively
to-day by Postmaster
General James, who said there was
in the Star route develop
ments to disturb Blaine.
Secretary Hunt, to-day, forwarded
instructions to Commander Cooper,
commanding United States ship
Alliance, now at Norfolk, to prepare
his ship with all dispatch to proceed
on a cruise in search of the Jeanette
between Greenland, Iceland and the
coast of Norway, and as far as the
northern coast of Spitzbergen, if it
IS possible to get there without en-
1angering the vessel.

II HAS long been acknowledged
that America il . WorId-beater in the
matter Of daily newspapers. No
other country can approach the
United States In this respect. New
and then an American journal. not
content with its mighty achievements,
strikes out boldly. and fairly puts its
former efforts in the shade. The
Ohioago Timer is frequently doing
that sort Of thing, keeping people
wondering what it will do next It's
latest wonders in the way OF news
papers have been in connection With
the revised New Testament. Before
the book was published last week,
the Times had two or three columns
OF the new translation csbled to it
from London, thereby getting several
days the lead of other newspapers
both in Europe and America. On
Friday last the new edition wGs given
to the public in New YORK. and the
Times felt called upon TO permit the
people OF the east to have no ad
vantage over those in the west, hence
it published the four gospels complete
on Saturday morning, having rsosiyed
them by telegraph on Friday night.
That portion contained about 49,
600 words, making the telegram the
largest special dispatch ever sent
over the wires. On Saturday night
copies OF the book we're received in |
Chicago from New York, and on
morning the Times published |
the revised New Testament complete,
from Matthew to Revelations, the |
whole making over eleven pages. or
eighty-nine columns OF small type.
The publication is without precedent,
and astonished the newspaper frater-
nifty and the public. as it must also
have surprised Storey himself, as
there was no reduction OF the regular
news matter in the Sunday edition OF
the Times.

New York, 27.-NetOS' Albany
Conkling will probably not return
here. Many who signed the call fol
a caucus tonight will not consider
themselves bound to the call fol
Monday night. Conkling's only
hope is the arrival of Grant and his
influence in his favor. The opposi-
ton say Gen. Grant would be inef-
fectual.
Graphic's Albany: Conkling is
sure of election by democratic votes,
and will accept them.
Commercials Albany Stalwarts
are more confident than yesterday.
Many of them have gone home and
the half-breed boasts have sub
sided.
Judge Robertson is well satisfied
and says the Administration people
made no mistake; yet the fact is
that Conkling and Plat are beaten
if they adjourn the legislature. We
viii be glad to fight them among
the people.
Conkling will return on Monday
and make public speech.

Boston, 27.-The demand for wool
has again been active, and the sales
of the week have been about 215,-

as could have been expected. Price

obtained for all desirable lots, but
no advances has been or could be
realized. Manufacturers are will

to quality and condition, and No. /

those of last week. Michigan and

Fatal Railroad Accident

Denver, 27.-TimeS' special: A
serious accident occurred on the
Denver and Rio Grande this morn
ing near Granite. A collision be-
tween freight and construction
trains resulted in the death of one
man, and probably fatally injuring
four, besides four others seriously
injured. Conductor Brooks and the
engineer of the freight train are to
blame, having disobeyed orders.
The engineer skipped the country,
and has not since been heard from.
Following are the names of the
dead and wounded, as far as can be
learned at present: Pat Mcmahon,
of Leadville, dead; VIM. Wright, of
st. Louis, dying; VIM. Harrigan, of
Iowa, not expected to
live; and John Williams, of Chi
cago, will probably recover.

John HenEley, of indianapolis. It
first caused him long suffering. when
he turned Il to good account, by find
ing an unprotected hole in the street
and carefully falling int it. He
sued the city for damages and got
s.. 500. John then went to Chicago,
found and fell into another hole, in.

The CHIEF medical officer of the
general postofios in England hau
made q report which very foroibly
illustrates the vAlus of rsVacciu alton.
It relates to an average numher OF
1O,604 persons employed in the postal
service In Losdon, sll OF whom have
been required to undergo rsvaccinA-
ton on admission to the service, un-
less that operation has been per-
formed within seven years previous.
Among .hese persons, daring the ten
years 1S7O-Is79. there has not been
. single fatal case OF smallpox, and
in only ten instances have there beam
non-fatsl attacks. all OF which wore
OF a very slight character. In the
telegraph department.. where the en-
foroement of revaccinGtion has not
been carried out with quite the same
completeness, twelve cases have oe-
Cured IN the same period among 9
staff averaging 1.45s in number.
Eight OF these attacks were OF persons
who hsd not been rsVAecinsted, and
one proved fatal. The remaining
four were OF revscoinAted persons,
who all perfectly recovered Sithout
pitsing This experience. like that
