A DISPATCH from New York to the Rich
mond State altr bates the fast time made Of
the Steamship Teutonic to the fact of her
having used Virginia coa'. Why. every coal
man knows that Virginia produces the finest
soft coal in the wcrld. Ii foreigners could
only pay for it with the produc of their
countries, instead of with scarce gold, as
they are compelled to do by the tariff, the
demand for, and consequently the price OF,
labor in the Virginia coal mines would be
greatly increased.

was brought into Court, and called un

He pleaded not guilty, and Cours adj
journed for the day.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Court opened this morning with the
case of Frank D. CARL still OF. Frank.
d. Miller was the first witness for the
defense.
The first question put to him bv N.Y..
Ware was objected to by Prosecutor
Logue and the objection was sustained
by Judge Hoagland. The question:
was, Have you ever seen crowds ofsdSs-
orderly persons on South Laurel
street?n
The Court held that the question
must apply to Carll's place to make H.
admissible.
Harry Pierson was sworn and saaa
he had been in Carll's place, had seen
disorder On the pavement in front OF
the place, but he said Carll's was closed
up; he had seen drunken men In 'front.'
of Carll's place. but could not say they
came from Carll's
Several other witnesses vera called
whose testimony went to show that
while they had seen disorderly person
about there they could not say they
were attributable to Carll's.
The court room was pretty full OF
spectators.
Both sides rested their case, and the
| court allowed the counsel half hour
on each side to sum up.
Mr.. Ware, in opening his address
asked for the sympathy Of the jury for
Mr.. CARL, from the fact that he had
been surrounded with such circum-
stances as induced drunken men to
coDgregate in his vicinity. He thought
the case had been brought into conYt
upon the most fiisnsy testimony ever
presented before this court. He ae-
cused the Law and Order Society OF
having backed the Prosecutor in
bringing the case. Mr.. Ware did not
get through with his argument when
his time expired and he had to ceases
Prosecutor Logue opened his re-
marks by saying this indictment waa
for keeping disorder,y house.
The usual modern style was to in
dict for keeping a disorderly house and
selling liquor without o license. THIS
was not a feature Of this case; there
was no charge of selling liquor without
license, but the disorderly character OF
the house was the thing charged. Mr.
Logue claimed that the indictment
had been sustained by the evideneo
fully and clearly.
Judge Hoagland's charge was clear
and forcible. He defined what consti-
tuted disorderly house under the In
tent of this Indictment, and the law.
The case of the State against Henry
Pierce, indicted for granddaughter, waD
then moved. This is the most impoxe-
ant case of the term.
Henry Pierce, as is well known, had
been indicted for causing the death OF
Henry H. Duffleld, by blow from q
carriage whip, on the evening of Au-
gust 25th last. The circumstances were
related in these columns at the time.
and are familiar with the community.
Pierce has retained Potter & Nixon
as his counsel In court.
The prisoner was brought into cour&
and took his seat by the side of hSe
counsel, Col Potter.
just at this time the Jury In the ease
OF F. D. CARL came in with a verdict
of guilty.

TEN PERSONS KILLED.
Collision of Passenger Trains on the Great
 Western Railway in England.

Collision of Passenger Trains on the Great
 Western Railway in England.
 LONDON, Nov. 12.-A collision occurred on the Great Western Railway at Norton, near Taunton, between a goods train and special passenger train from Plymouth. Ten persons were killed and eight in jured, four of whom will die.
 One of the passengers who had been killed at the moment the trains came to- gether, presented ghastly spectacle, his head having been severed from his body as cleanly as though it had been done by the guillotine.
 Almost immediately after the collision sparks from the engine furnaces com municated to the debris and the horrors of fire were added to the terrors of the catastrophe.
 Before anything could be done toward rescuing them, six of the occupants of the first coach, who had escaped in the awful crash, were slowly burned to death in the presence of fellow human beings, who were power1ess to release them from the flames, which gradually enveloped and slowly consumed their bodies.
 The signalman whose carelessness caused the terrible accident admits his full culpability and will make no attempt to evade the penalty of his fatal neglect. This is the first serious accident on the Great Western since 1874.

AttOrney-GeneraI Miller Decides a Oues-
 tiOn of Interest to Newspapers.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Attorney-Gen- eral Miller has sent to the Postmaster General an opinion, in answer to an inquiry by the Postoffice Department as to whether advertisements in newspapers of the guessing contest" in it's various phases, are in violation of the lottery law passed by Congress on September 18th last.
 The case is based upon clipping from the Cincinnati Enquirer offering money prizes to the person or persons sending first the correct number, of votes, or guessing nearest the number of votes cast for the Democratic or Republican candidate for the office of Secretary of State of the State of Ohio.
 After carefully construing the law, Attorney General Miller decided that the case in question is not violation of the lottery law as the offer is made in good faith. He is quite clear, he says, that estimates made upon the probable politi- cal action of the people in a pending election cannot be said to be dependent upon chance, within the meaning of the statute, and therefore the enterprise in question was no infraction of the lottery law.

GREETING TO STANLEY.
~ OaSt1nguished New York AudiencG Crowds to Hear the Great Explorer.

~ O1St1ngutshed New York Audience crowds to Hear the Great Explorer.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Never in all it's history of operas and receptions has the Metropolitan Opera House held such q brilliant and distinguished audience as that which assembled there last night to hear Henry M. Stanley's first lecture on
 Ine Rescue of Emin." The great audi Tor1um, with it's tiers of galleries and it's long rows of boxes, was filled with the most fashlonable and distinguished men and women in New York. - On the stage were hundreds of men whose names are as familiar as household words.
 Two great audiences faced each other and gazed at each other in mutual re- spect and admiration. That on the stage was distinguished and sombre in black and white, that in the auditorium was distinguished and brilliant as we'll.
 And this audience was one that had paid we'll for the privilege of being there They had paid nearly $15, 1000 for the chance to hear and honor the great hero.
 MT. Stanley was introduced by MT. Chauncey M. Depew in a charming speech, and when the applause had ceased the explorer began his lecture. He did not refer in any way to the misfortunes of the rear column. He confined himself almost entirely to 8 description of the climate and foliage of the country, the pigmies and the peculiar actions of Em1n Pasha, who cut his acquaintance after they emerged from the wilderness and about the the time Emin met with ais fall from 8 balcony.

Neckwear is neckwear this season. The day is gone by when every man wore black tie, or thought 2s cents enough to pay for scarf. Now we can't get them too bright or too expen- sive. The richest silks and satins are what sell and they are elegant, large pufs and ascots, wide knots and 4-in- hands that fill the space from collar to vest. They liven up a dark suit and put on the finishing touch. You don't know how much better a rich, hand some scarf will make you look until you try it. We have gone into neck wear heavy this season, carry nearly double our usual line. We have al- ways had the reputation of being head quarters for these goods. This year we beat all past records.

BREAK IN THE BROTHERHOOD
The New YoSk and Pittsburg Clubs Ten
 der Their Resignations.

PTTsBURG, Nov. 12-At last nights meeting of the Players National League the Pittsburg and New York clubs form ally presented their resignations, which were ordered to be held over for the 60 days required by the constitution before enal acceptance.
 An election was then held resulting in the choice of Charles A. Prince, of Boston, President; A. l.. Johnson, of Cleveland, Vice-President, and F. H. Brunnell, of Chicago, Secretary and Treasurer.
 After Messrs. Johnson, Prince and Ward were appointed as 8 conference or arbitration committee to settle dis putes, etc., Cincinnati was admitted to membership in the League. Applica- tions were also filed for the location of clubs in Buffalo, Washington, D. O., and Detroit.
 It is reported that during the meeting the representatives of the Pittsburg and New York clubs were unmercifully be- rated for the weakness they have dis played. It is also stated that although Pittsburg and New York may have con solidated with the National League, they will be unable to deliver the goods, as it is believed that all of the players will stick to the Brotherhood.

BIRCHALL IN TEARS
He is Affected at Last by His
 Wife's Sadness.
GUARDING AGAINST sUic1DE
Report Out that the Jail is Conducted iI Loose Manner.

The Hour of Execution Set for O'Clock Friday-He Dances in His Cell ThougI,
 Death is Near-ProbabiIity that His Remains WilI:be Embalmed and Taken to England.
 WOODSTOCK, Ont, Nov. 12.-It has been decided that Birchall shall be executed at o'clock on Friday morning.
 County Attorney Ball has written the Attorney General urgently asking him not to allow Birchall's remains to be buried in the jail yard. Should the re- quest be granted the body will be en- balmed here and taken to England by Mrs. Birchall.
 There seems to be feeling in the pub lie mind that Bircha1I will either escape or commit suicide before Friday. This IS probably due to exaggerated reports about the loose manner in which the iail IS conducted. There is little truth in any of them. Detective Murray is in town looking into the securities of the jail where Birchall is confined.
 The jail is an old one, and if Birchall was left alone for only 10 minutes he could easily break out. But that is almost impossible, as he is constantly watched, day and night.
 Mrs. Birchall's visits to her husband hnFO OCCA Aul1Gou OO 1WO a week. OnG1 this week she has had the privilege of seeing him whenever she wished. These visits are growing more affectionate every day and cause many sad scenes.
 Last night for the first time since his imprisonment Birchall wept. But this was not on his own account. His wife's tears caused him to weep. They are not allowed to kiss each other or clasp hands, as the law of the land is that @ con, demned man shall not be alone for an in- stant with any one except the jail officials and his spiritual advisers. And so hus- band and wife are locked in together with the jailer. This is done so as to prevent the prisoner from receiving anything that he might use to cheat the gallows.
 At noon Birchall listened attentively to the band of minstrel company that was parading the streets. He enjoyed the music very much and danced around the cell to it's tunes.
 He is now engaged in the melancholy duty of preparing for death, writing his farewell letters to his mother, his rela- lives and friends.

Two WOrkmen Narrowly Escape Death
 While at Work in 8 Brewery.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 12.- While Henry Guss and Edward Fischer were at work vanishing the interior of a large fermenting tub in the American brewery, they lighted 8 candle and took it into the tank
 Scarcely had they climbed down into the vat when the flame from the candle communicated to the infammable varnish and in moment the interior of the tank was mass of flames.
 The two men attempted to make their escape from the vat, but it proved g. veritable prison. It was some time before they were rescued by their fellow-work- men. Guss was the most severely injured. Portions of his clothing were burned from his body, his hair was singed, and his face, hands, arms, back and legs were badly burned. His arms were so badly burned in places that the flesh dropped off. He closed his eyes and thus saved them. Fischer was severely burned, but he will recover. It is feared that Guss will die. He is A years old and unmar- ried. Fischer is married man and has family.
