of the trouble, helped along by her

tcur benefits, for charity. When they
were married, Marie was "a and
Jimmy" not 10. OF course Mr..
Blaine supported them, but not with
no end of money, as Mrs. ".Iimmy"
desired.
While abroad Mr.. BIaine's allowance
TO them was 81 300 a year, and his
own house in Augusta, Me. But Mr..
and Mrs. Jimmy would not be

and rented fiat for 81, 800 a year,
and furnished it as Became a 800
flat. For time "Jimmy" had employ
ment at a very small salary. After a
year of it Mr.. Blaine returned from
abroad, and about the first business he
did was to pay for the 81, 800 fiat fur
nitUrc, except me of the most cX-
travagant "cOnceitS" which were re-

made by Mrs. Blaine in buying "prctty
things" abroad for her daughter, Mrs.
Coppinger. and her d ,ughtcr-in-iaw,

Whatever disappointment Mrs.
Blaine may have suffered over this III
compatible marriage of her son, she
had made up her mind to accept it, and
receive her sons wife As a daughter.
OF course the 81 500 flat could not go

given up and Mr.. and Mrs. ''.Iimmy'

How to clear the fields of OK eye
daisies is question which is nOt easy
of solution. If they are kept cut close
with a moving machine as fast as the
blossoms appear, it will, in time, kill
the plants 50 treated. But the seeds
which become scattered from adjoining
fields and roud,idc> terminate and pro-
duce more weeds. The evil is 50
widespread that nothing short Of a
general and perscvcring movement
could eradicate it, and this is practical
ly out Of the question.

ufacture of dolls. The inhabitants are
very poor people and are brought up 10
doll making. Before it is completed .
doll passes through many hands. The
heads, hands and feet are made by one
person, the body by another, the hair
is fixed on by another, and the face is
painted by two different people, ono
doing the rough work and the second
the finishing touches.
The clothing is made BY another per-
son, and the dresses are put on by still
another. All this labor is done at such
starvation prices that Americans can
not compete in the manufacture, al
though the duty for importation is

A Gratifying success

A line tribute to the mercantile charac
ter of MIR. David Don as we'll as a source
of pride and qualification to the city is
the new structure in which he since but
recently conducts his business. Entering
upon his trade in 1860 as a timer in the
building now occupied by Jahns & Ber-
telson. with his right arm as his only cap
ital, he has grown with the growth of the
city. and can enjoy the fruits of industry
and integrity, as only he can enjoy the
prospect who has climbed to the summit
OF the mountain. His new quarters have
twice the capacity of the building former
ly occupied, being 40x9O feet, the two up.
per stories being utilized for storage and
work shops.
The establishment now occupies nearly
score of hands and keeps everything in
the house furnishing line. Mr.. Don does
all kinds of copper and tin work, such as
roofing and putting in furnaces, making
specially of heating and ventilating.
He is agent for the Boynton & Thatcher
furnaces, the Garland line of goods, and
has the exclusive agency of the city to
handle the Rock Island Stove Co.'S. stoves
and ranges.

placed aboard the passenger train and was
brought 10 Richmond. arriving here at !
O'Clock. He was al once taken 10 the Re-
treat for the sick, where he died atO O'clock.
Coroner Taylor was called, and found the
unfortunate mans shoulder, arm and right
leg badly crushed. and his left arm broken
lust above the wrist, lie held an inquest at
the Medical College yesterday afternoon at.
o'clock. No one testified that they saw
the accident, and the only light thrown on
the ease was the statement made to DR..
Ross by the dying man. Mr.. Redd stated
that Just before the accident occurred he
had finished coupling a car, and was run
ming to unbrake another one, when he
stumbled and fell, the train passing over
him.
The verdict Of the cOroner's jury was that
Mr.. Rcdd met his death by the Chesapeake
and OiiO ears passing over him- but IN
their judgment the company was not to
blame.
Mr. Henry Wickham appeared for the
company at the inquest. and Mr.. A. II.
Dickinson, Of Fredericksburg, represented
the deceased.
The body was taken to Amelia on the
train last night. Judge Redd. OF that cOun-
ty, is a brother of the deceased.

The resolution appropriating -, $50 in 1
per cent. bonds for the purchase OF land be-
longing 10 Miss Smith and others, came up
Messrs. Gum and Burke called for IN eN-
PLANTATION Of the necessity of this amount.
Mr.. Phillips explained that Mr.. IA. Bates,
the assistant engineer. in layingOil the drive
around the new pump-hOuse, committed
a great mistake in running the road on land
that did not belong to the city. IL wa, To
nay for this land that the amount was
wanted. Mr. Bates did not consult the deed
when he ran the road.
Mr.. Burke said he was tired OF paying Tor
other peoples mistakes.
Mr.. Philips thought it best 20 approprl-
ate the money in order 10 get the city out OF
what might be greater difficulty.
Mr. Gum declared the road could be
altered for less than the sum named. Mr..
Ferriter thought that i'm view Of the tact
that the city was liable for trespass, II
was best 10 pay now what was CHARGED.
Mr.. White thought il very strange that
Mr. Bates and the land owners should nave
been guilty OF such negligence, a. to run
the road by guess. He thought it Il bad
precedent. The resolution was lost.
