Samuel Mobley, who resides about three
miles from this place, was brought here yester-
day by his son and committed to the county
Jail by Justice Morgan, he having shown strong
evidences Of insanity. He has shown symptoms
Of the malady for some time past, but was not
considered dangerous until Saturday last. A
jury will be empannelled TO determine his case
in few days.
Samuel 7. Stonestreet, one Of the most prom
inent and best known citizens Of this town,
died at his residence here to-day in the eighty
sixth year of his age. When quite a youth he
came to this place from his home in Loudoun

vacancy occurring in the clerical force of the
office, he was placed in it and allowed wages.
Some years afterward he was appointed by the
governor to take charge Of the office and held
the position for twenty-four years. In the
meantime he had bought fine farm and be-
came interested in the agricultural develop
ment Of the county, then at a very low ebb, and
was one OF the pioneers in the formation Of the
first agricultural society in the county. He
took great interest in the improvement Of farm
stock and for many years had herds of fine
blOoded cattle on his farm. which were not ex-
celled in any section of the state. He was also
active in all other matters of public interest
He was for fifty years a prominent and in

The March term Of the circuit court, which
commences here on Monday, the 18th inst,
promises to be q lengthy one. Besides a large
civil docket there are a number of important
criminal cases to be tried. Should the case of
Blaine against Brady. set for trial at this term,
come up, it alone will likely occupy the atten-
ton of the court for two weeks. This is a case
removed from Prince Georges county, and has
already been tried once in that county and
twice here, the jury in each case failing to
agree.
Sheriff White reports here this evening the

murderous assault on Mr.. Clayton Fields, near
Whites ferry few weeks ago. He was recog-
nized in the crowd at the Inauguration by Mr..
Fields, who pointed him out to the sheriff, and
he was at once arrested and taken to the sta
ton house. Should he agree to come he will
be brought here tomorrow; otherwise reaui-
sition will be obtained for him from the gov
ernor. SAN

other, and he said it through his nose.
Lets have some fun with him." suggested

the suggestion.
At this remark half q dozen men got up and
walked toward the Cinaman, who sat peacefully
in his seat, rcverting to the joyous days when
he used to 60 to school at Canton and 60 in
swimming on Saturdays
The crowd was bearing down upon him, but
the Chinaman never moved . muscle, with

sat perfectly still, inst waiting for one Of the
funny men to lay his hands on him.
Hes o bad man, amt he?" said one of the
men, ~ he sized up the Chinaman and
his club, and erstwhile falling back in the

And they did, and that Chinaman was per-
mitted to cross the river without being molested

around the edges at the rate of five cents per
pair in the sanctity OF his laundry.

AMELlE RrvEy NEW NOVEL.

The. "White Slave'' May BE In its Way Q
Book Like 'sUncle Toms Cabin"
From the Chicago Tribune.
Mrs. Chanler has become greatly impressed
BY the evil Of child labor, and ere many months
q novel will come from her pen which cannot
fail to rouse the public. II may not exert the
vast influence which history and tradition a.
cribe to Mrs. Stoves "Uncle Toms Cabin, ~
but that 1t will be work Of remarkable power
is obvious from what Mrs. Chanler herself says
Of it I'm it," she says, II am pouring out my
heart. only hope to be able to do some good.
When he learned that was willing TO make
child slavery the topic Of q novel, Prof. Ely, Of
Johns Hopkins university, kindly sent me mate

the suffering, the blighted lives, wasted bodies.
and worse, you would not wonder that feel az

novels, the brutality Of the overseers, and their
more terrible crimes have before me. Ihave
page after page of facts which burn their way

call it The White Slave Virginia overseer,

MucH-ABusrp WOMAN
Amelie Rives is the best-known and worst
abused woman of the day. Literary critics and
lot of miscellaneous writer's have treated her
with apparent malignity. The time has come
when one must stop amid all the outcry against
her and inquire if there is such thing as fair
play in this country. 1t is well here to state
Mrs. Chanler herself does not complain. All
she will say is: 20, well. am at last accus-
toned to it, and though suffered grievOusly u,
first it does not now worry me at ALL" Nor
does any member OF her family complain. HeI
husband says simply: I'VE cannot control the
newspapers and do not desire to; but we can
and do refuse to read them. Newspapers do
not come into our house. That is our only
protection" And her mother: This is some
thing We do not talk of. For a time Amelie was
sorely tried but she had the consolation of heI
religion and the comfort of her conscience"
The complaint here made, therefore. is no
the complaint of the Rives family, for they arr
silent. Nor is it impotence Of the critics who
pursue their legitimate calling and eschew alu
sions and insinuations. The great evil is thai
from the carelessness of the critics a miscella
ncous and reckless lot OF gossip writers have
taken their cue.

From the jewelers. Weekly.
Every jeweler has doubtless met with many
curious incidents in his business career, but
think that recent experience OF mine is worth
relating. Shortly after the holidays there came
into my place pleasant-mannered young man,
who expresseda desire to look at some gold
necklaces. 1t is needless to say that sold him
one. 1t was fourteen carats and very pretty,
Two days later the door was 6ung open and in
rushed the same young man, boiling with rage

10 expose me as a swindler. It took half an
hour to learn his story.
1t seems that after presenting the necklace to
his lady love he had taken her to q reception
ornamented with his present. After the first
dance there was commotion in one corner of
the room, and the rivals Of our customers best
girl were tttering among themselves and whis-
pering about her.
The young lady looked in the glass and al
most tainted at the sight. Her beautiful neck
was almost black from the friction of the neck

proved TO him that IL was full IA karats. About
that time young physician called to purchase

story and asked to hear the balance, a. he be-
