Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l

of Commerce.
CORRESPONDENCE OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
FEBRUARY 10. 1890.
At the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce last night the proceedings were OF
more than local interest.
Mr.. John W. Todd presented letter he
had received from Mr.. Ashton Starke, pre-
sident of the State Agricultural Society
which referred to the future location OF
that institution.
The gentlemen named below were APP
pointed a committee to communicate with
Mr.. Starke and to confer with the Board
of Directors of the Baldwin District Fair
Association and the City Council of Staun-
ton with the view of permanently locating
the State Fair at Stanton.
The fairgrounds here are admirably To-
Gated, and adjoining them the city has a
large area of open land, part OF which IS
now in the process of "a park Improvement.
Running water and lake are on the fair
grounds. and stream passes through the
park promises.
The President of the Chamber, Mr..
Charles Il. Haines, and Messrs. John w.
Todd. r. w. Burke. Henry Hutchinson,
and Aristo Hoge, were constituted the
committee referred to above.
WANT TO MARKET THEM.
Although the staple products of this
section are selling very low and the
season for marketing the same Is rapidly
passing away, both producers and our
dealers are anxious TO ship with activity.
Much Of our wheat and all our hay is sold
in Richmond and Eastern Virginia mar
kets. and large quantities of Valley hay Is
sold in the southern States.
Ii was represented TO the chamber that
the applications for cars for this trade along
the Valley Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad were long delayed, very
much To the hurt and inconvenience of all
the interests concerned. A committee
consisting of Messrs. John w. Todd. Nj.
Kinlighan. Henry Hutchinson, James II.
Blackley. and |. WITT were appointed to
look into this trouble.
The Stanton Chamber of Commerce
was organized more than FIVE years ago. II
has accomplished some good and there are
instances in which the benefits OF its pro-
ceedings were more than ordinary, even
when undertaken by concerted effort. The
able and veteran editor of the Stanton
Vindicd'0r. Henry g. Tinsley, Esq, who is
one of the most active and influential
members of the body, hes for some time
past at its meetings frequently mentioned
that the time has arrived when a celebra-
ton or social occasion at which more OF
the details of its work and aims might be
brought out in that way. 1t was, therefore,
at this meeting unanimously agreed that q
banquet on the 18th of March would be IN
order, and 10 that end Messrs. Thomas j.
Crowder, John w. Todd, w. III. Weller, j..
A. Armentrout, and Il. Il. Andrews be a
committee TO arrange for the same.

TIE PARTICULARS.

TIE PARTICULARS.
The particulars of the sad affair, which
haze lust been made public to-day, are
obout az follows: Several weeks ago some
| dogs belonging to Mr.. Cooper. by whom
Mir Herndon is employed, attackeda num-
her of hogs belonging to MIR. Shacklett,
who requested Mr.. Herndon to call them
of. He refused. and this resulted in one
of the hogs beng killed by one of the
the dogs. Immediately after the killing Of
the hog Mr.. Shacklett, who keeps a store.
went into his place of business and, load
ing gun, came out and killed the dog.
This brought about some words and
caused bad feelings between the young
men. Seeing the state of affairs and hearing
the remarks Herndon had made, Shacklett
wrote TO Mr. Cooper, who Is IN Mashlng-
ton. informing him of what he had done,
and il is said he received reply from Mr.
Cooper in which he said Shacklett was
justified.
A number of times during the period
from their first meeting Herndon kicked
dog belonging to Shacklett and said he
was going TO kill it. Shacklett warned
him MOTTO do so, and on the day the diff
Guilty occurred Herndon struck the dog IN
the presence Of Shackletts wife, who IN
formed him that if she were n man she
would thrash him. That night Shack
lett went into the pOst-offce and meeting
Herndon told him he did not want TO see or
hear of his kicking his dog any more and
if he did he would hold him accountable.
Angry words then began TO pass, and the
postmaster. Mr.. Sundein. ordered them
both out. saying he could not allow diff
Guilty in his place.
THREW A WEIGHT.
At this stage Of the difficulty Herndon
seized weight and threw it al Shacklett.
which missed him and struck the door.
Both parties then clinched and scuiiied for
some time before falling. Sunderlln then
started for help. and when he and friend
had returned both parties were found stu
on the floor IN an exhausted condition.
They were then separated, and on examl-
nation Herndon was found to be seriously
cut in number OF places about the abdo--
men and breast. while Shackletts mead
and face were badly bruised.
DEATH HOURLY EXPECTED.
Shacklett is now guarded at his house by
officers of the law and is unable to leave
his bed, while HernGOn's condition has IN
no wise improved and his death IS hourly
expected. The most severe wounds are one
seventeen inches long across his abdomen
and from which it is thought he is bleed
ing internally, and two across his breast
about fourteen inches long. His lett arm
at the shoulder is also nearly severed from
his body. The affair has caused no little
comment in the county and is greatly la
mented, as both young men are very promi--
nent and of high families, and the trial Of
the case is looked forward to with consid-
cradle interest.
Mr.. st. George r. Fitzhugh, of Frede-
ricksburg. has been employedas Mr.. Shack
letts attorney. while the Commonwealth
is represented by Mr.. w. S. White. If the
condition of the parties is such Us TO allow
n trial at the next term Of the court the
case will come up. Shacklett is bailed IN
the sum of $4,000.

CANADA MUST DEVELOP.

Effect of the Mckinley Bill Would Be to
Make the Dominion Independent in
Trade.
MONTREAL, Que, Sept. 23. The first
public official utterance regarding Cam
ada's attitude towards the Mckinley
tariff bill were delivered Saturday at the
monster political picnic at Sherbrooke,
by Minister of Finance Foster, who said
he regretted that the United States
would not arrange some fairer measure
of reciprocal trade than we now have,
but if the Mckinley bill was to be the
policy of the United States it only re-
manned for Canada to depend upon her.
self, develop her own resources and
seek other Markets
than those of the United States for
goods forcibly diverted iron that coun-
try by the provisions of the Mckinley
bill. A great deal OF the trade would go
to Great Britain. He was also prepared
to say that very large and profitable
market stood open N the West Indies
for the products Of Canada, the very
products against witch the heightened
tariff has been placed by the United
States. Then there was range for de-
veloping of our trade in China, Japan
and Australia.
The burden OF Mr.. Fosters speech
was that Canada need not fear the Nc.
Kinley bill and that If the United States
markets were closed to her she could

to. the report of the royal commission on
the state of British agriculture, says:
"On every page there was proof from
all classes of witnesses connected with the
cultivation of the land of falling rents,
of the rapidly diminishing produce raised
on English farms, and an enormous
acreage for which no tenants could be
found ON any terms, and which was
either taken into the landlords hands or
thrown out of cultivation altogether.
Farms which a few years ago were in the
highest state of cultivation are given up
to weeds, and the homesteads, once the
pride of the country side, are falling in
almost every county into ruins. The
commission had no difficulty whatever
in finding satisfactory explanation for
this disastrous condition of things. 1t
was only the inevitable result of our
system of Free-trade."
Speaking at Oxford on Nov. "a, 1887,
Lord Salisbury, the prime minister, said:
sThere is one subject so deeply hateful
that 1 hardly like to touch it, precisely
because do not at present see any COM
plete and sufficient remedy which can
offer to the evils which / see before me-
The state of agriculture is simply de-
plorable."
1t has been seriously contended by our
Free-trade friends that duties upon agri-
cultural products were merely nominal
and of no account To refute this pre-
varicating pretension it is only necessary
to present the exact amount of the total
products of agriculture imported from
the British North American possessions
for ten years, or from 1880 to 1889 in
elusive, and the amount, as have in a
statement prepared at the treasury de-
partment, is 1892, 283,271.
\
I confess that I do not know of an ar
ticle that has received tariff protection
for a series of years that is not now sold
for much less price than it was before
it was protected. In the general reduc-
ton of the prices of manufactured goods
the large amount of the American prod
ucts and the great number of useful in
ventions to which American genius has
given birth are the potent factors of
large reductions throughout the world.
