The attendance at County Court was I'M
usually large yesterday. AS is generally
the case ut February courts, great many
horses were offered for sale, and a host OF
BUYERS were present. HarriSonburg Is
now, and has been for years, one OF the
best hOrse-markets in the State. Buyers
from Pennsylvania and several other north
ern and from western States attend regu-
larry the spring courts.
Scarlet-fever made its appearance in our
town few days ago, and the school trus-
tees thought it advisable to suspend the
public schools for a week. 1t is hoped, as
there are only two cases in town, that this
precautionary step may prevent the spread
OF the disease. There have been cases OF
it in different parts of the county for some
time past, causing several county schools
TO suspend.
The trustees Of the Baptist church are
looking around for lot upon which 10

A Caxe.In AT FriedensvilIc. PA.

The public road at FriedensviIIe, Lee
high county. was reported Tuesday as be-
ing cracked and sunkeu in places, owing
to the caying in OF the old Lehigh zine
mines, which are directly under the town.
The largest cavity Is opposite the Friedens-
vile Hotel aud close by tenement-house,
being some twenty feet in width and
almost that in depth. The residents are
somewhat alarmed, but as yet have not
left their homes. Men have been placed
on guard TO warn the people OF any new
danger. Supervisor Milton Geisinger was
sent for, and arrived at 0 O'Clock this
morning and began an examination. The
road Is cracked throughout the whole
town, and a number OF small caye-ins are
reported.

The ". NJ. I.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

| To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
have seen the memorial OF the V. NJ. l..
to the Legislature OF Virginia, and have
also read in connection Herewith bill that
has been presented in the House by the
Hon. William A. Anderson, Of Rockbridge.
| for the relief OF this institution.
do not think the bill fully meets the
prayer Of the petitioners in this it does
not give the relief that this institution Is
entitled to.
The V. NJ. /. is In debt to the amount OF
some S150,000. 1t is the property OF the
State. 1t is property that has not only an
intrinsic value to that amount, but 1t has an
! intrinsic value that cannot be estimated IN
dollars and cents by Nlrginians.
The third section OF the bill authorizes
and empowers the Board OF Visitors TO
issue new bonds" &C.; said bonds not to
bear more than five per centum interest,
and to secure said bonds by mortgage
upon the real estate OF the Institute.
/ cannot see why these new bonds should
be issued for per centum interest when
| to-day there Is in the Treasury OF the state
some two millions OF dollars, according TO
the Governors message, which is only
bearing 9 per centum interest to the State.
As business proposition. would any
man that has money that he is loaning at 2
per cent. give his bond with interest at D
per cent? Then why should the State
do IL!
Would it not be better for the State to
paw off in full the debt out OF moneys not
otherwise appropriated than to let this IN
stitution. which is her pride and has been
her glory, be handicapped by being pressed
with debt!
| hope. and have no doubt to the con-
trary, that the Legislature will read care
fully the facts set forth in the memorial
and pass bill that will wipe out IN toto
this debt, so as TO put this old institution
that has endeared herself to every citizen
of Virginia. upon solid grounds and above
the enervatipg pressure OF de a..
As a business proposition, J. think my
position IS sound, and know it will be a
pleasing duty for our Legislature to do JUS
tice to the State and at the same time re-
lleve the Virginia Military Institute.

X. T. BARTON. Esq, OF the House OF
Delegates, is out in letter which should
give the coup de grace TO the West-Vir-
ginia-debt bill. We shall try 10 publish it
tomorrow.
The Winchester Times, wherein Mr..
BARrOE's letter was published, had taken
position editorially against the same bill
before it saw Mr.. BART0N's letter.
Mr.. BART0N's letter states that the bill
would probably not get ten Democratic
votes IN the House OF Delegates.
We are satisfied, after reading Mr.. BAR
TONS letter, that the scheme is dead. Al!
that was needed to kill it was a full ac-
auaintance with the facts. We had thought
that perhaps the members OF the Legisla-
ture were in the dark on the subject.

ANOTHER sTORM-N0T A CLOSE ENGAGE
MENT-THREE DIFFERENT STATEMENTS.
correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
February 30, 1891.
There was storm of wind and rain last
night from till after 10, with sharp light
ming and heavy thunder. This morning
there is hurricane from the west, and the
mercury stands at 400, having fallen 70 in
an hour.
There are already indications that the
minds of men are being turned towards
the municipal election, which comes on in
MAY, and the prospect Is that the present
Mayor will be a candidate for reelection.
and that the Democrats will make nomina-
tions. At present the Democratic Council
and the Coalition Mayor are firing ut long
range-the Council, clear-headed men, hav-
ing advice from the city attorney; the
Mayor, who is not by any means scholar,
having the assistance of clerk. And be-
tween these forces there is prospect OF
a close engagement.
We are not surprised here at the false
hoods sworn to by the negroes before the
Sherman committee; but the man Walter
Withers outdid them all, it now appearing
that his statement to the committee OF
forty differed pointedly from that given
the Sherman committee, and the statement
given the grand jury, which one OF the
jury took down, differs from the Others
very materially. ALPHA.

We had yesterday pleasant mierVie"
with Hon. C. j. Faulkner, OF West Vir'
! einia. who Is now in this city on profes'
sIonal business. Think OF that, young
men-a gentleman who was member OF
the Virginia Legislature more than hlty
years ago still engaged in practice as law
yer. Is Il necessary for us to add that this
venerable statesman was for many years a
member of the Congress OF the United
States. afterwards United States Minister
to France, and during the war between
the States member OF SToNEwALL JACK
soN's staff?
BY the way, it would be well for the
members OF the Virginia Legislature 10
ascertain what Mr.. FAULKNER thinks of the
bill to reopen the debt question. This is
not the business which brings him to Rich
mond but since he is here it would be
well for the members to hear what he has
to say on the subject. Perhaps the follow
ing extract from recent letter OF his may
have escaped their attention. DIR. FAULK-
NFR. writing TO Governor JACKSON few
weeks ago, said:
"This is undoubtedly movement OF
Mr.. Mason, the attorney OF the New York
syndicate, and in my opinion should, If
possible, be counteracted. ! think the
only point of danger and annoyance to us
will be IL that syndicate can get control OF

suit against West Virginia in the Supreme
Court of the United States. This, think,
should be frustrated il possible. / am
sure you would be able to get some
competent gentleman in Wheeling, Par
kersburg, or Charleston who, at your
request, would proceed on TO Rich.
mond and counteract this movement OF
Mr.. Mason. There may be no provision OF
law to compensate for such service, but
YOU might know some who would do IT
aratuitously, or rely upon future action OF
the Legislature for his compensation. L
hope you will give this matter your atten-
ton, IL you have not already done so, for

State"

RailrOad Pedestrians.

CARRsvILLE. VA, February 10, 1884.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
| see that AIr. Evans, OF Richmond, in
PRODUCED in the House some days ago a
bin to prohibit walking or riding on rail-
roads. AS to the riding, that may be we'll
enough, but law forbidding people walk
ing on railroads would be an annoying law
to large class Of people, and in fact to all
classes OF people in the country and I'D or
near small towns situated on railroads.
With the county roads but way OF mud,
they are. wellnigh untrayellable TO pedes-
trans, and the high and dry rallroad-bed
furnishes good and frequently mllch
nearer route along which one can walk
But the people must be debarred thls
privilege and prevented this pleasure TO
benefit the railroads. But will the roads
be benefited? Not ut all. Railroads are
not liable for damages to parties killed I'M
der such circumstances. And, besides,
accidents from sober people walking along
railroads are rarely known, and no law
VIII prevent drunken man from getting
on the road. On the contrary, accidents
and serious loss Of life and damage to rail-
road property are often prevented by some
pedestrian discovering the unexpected
wash-out, the broken rail, or the designed
". placed obstruction, and the approaching
train is warned and stopped. Instead OF
preventing, il would increase accidents.
People in small villages cannot walk
hundred yards or so to the post-oilce or
elsewhere on the railroad, but must take
the mud. The doctor wishes to see pa
tient living mile or two down the road,
but neither emergency nor the saving oil
life can plead an excuse, and he must go
miles around by the county road. Children
going to school must go mile or two
around circultous route TO get to school
and the people generally must be put to all
manner OF annoyance and Inconvenience,
and nay possibly innumerable fines for the
benefit Of no one. Surely no such absurd
bill can pass our present intelligent LegiS-
aturc. But should it pass, the injury to the
party that passes it in counties through
which railroads run would be incalculable

note also. This question has been an
swered pro and con by intelligent busl-
lnessmen. W. A. c.
W. A. G. would better consult his law

he takes his negotiable note, yet we cannot
see why the mere fact OF lis taking such a
note should deprive him OF the benefit Of
the Iien-law. We haven't time Just now
TO look fully into the question, but it strikes
US that negotiable note is nothing but
evidence that the property-owner still
owes the money, and consequently evil
dence to prove that the general contractor
has the right to avail himself Of the lien,
provided the limit OF time has not ex-
pired.)
