THE NEW JUDGE.
appointment Of Adam 4. snyder 20 the
Supreme Bench.

When, by the sad death of Judge James
F. Patton. vacancy was created on the
Supreme Bench. there was great deal of
speculation as 10 who would be appointed
TO ill il. Governor Jackson had been APP
preached in the interest Of several a>pIr-
ants. but not a word could be gotten from
him touching the pr obable Succession.
Yesterday the announcement was made
thar an offer had been made tO and accepted
by Adam {. SNYDER. OF LewiShurg. Green
brier county, and il was attcrwari con
tirmsd. \ commission was issued yeScer-
day from the secretary of States Office, To
date from Thursday, April ~.
Mr.. Snyder is one of the most prominent
lawyers Of the State and is perhaps better
known to the bar OF Virginia. He is entire
~ without the personal magnetism OF the
late Judge Patton and in appearance is not
prepOsSeSsing. But he is 4 profound thinker
and a deep student and viii be OF particular
value To the Bench for the reason that he
is thoroughly yerSed in that branch of the
law relating to suits of lands West
Virginia lands are becoming of more value
and the Supreme Court J. certain 10 be 10 a
greater extent occupied with suits concern,
ing land titles, in the deciding OF which
Judge Snyder'S ability will be potent. He
was a prominent aspirant for the office,
after the resignation OF c. Z. Moore, having
been unwillingly brought forward by his
friends

from sparks flying from the burning build
ing on the inside, but by strenuous efforts
it was saved from being destroyed.
A colored convict accidentally cut a

yesterday cleaning up the rubbish
ABOUT the destroyed building. At first it
was supposed he had severed an artery

was quite painful, but not fatal as only a

cut little deeper he would have hit an
