out the warrant and is the prosecutor,
not me. Respectfully yours,

The Probable Route of the Danville and

Correspondence OF tho Richmond Dispatch.l
DANvILLE, VA, Dec. IL, 1890.
A DISPATCH reader asks me 20 outline
the route Of the Dapvlle and East Ten
nessee railroad from this city to Bristol.
/ am sorry not to he able 10 answer the
question, but the fact is that many peo-
pie would be willing 10 pay big money
for that information ind are not able TO
obtain it. The company has not yet ne
CURED the right Of way, and very natu-
rally is reticent rs to it's proposed route
until that has been done,
sUPPosED ROUTE.
NY own belief is that tho line will be
from DanWlle to Madison, n. c., 10y
way of Lcaksville, n. C., thence through
Virginia TO Bristol, but even this IS a
mere guess j saw the treasurer of the
company yesterday and no told me that
he himself did not know the exact route.
CHURCH soCIABLE.
The members Of Mt. Vernon Metho-

i'm the lecture-roOm Of the church, and
after a short church conference the CON

bers mingled together in social converse,
and the Isdies served coffee, chocolate,
and cakes This is in accordance
with the PASTORS doctrine of "recogni-

DASvuLR, Va, December l3.-At the

Chatham (Judge s. q. White presi-
ding, q sensational case was being tired,
pending which some Of the lawyers told
anecdotes before the jury that were not
as elegant as they might have been.
Judge Nhittle said nothing at the time,

a digni6ed but severe rebuke TO the law
yers who had told the obscene Jokes, aud
gave notice that he would not suffer a
repetition Of such language in his court.
The lawyers were much chagrined, but
none OF them took offence at the Judges
rebuke.

For Love Alone.

A young lady OF this city, who is said
to be worth not less than $4,000 in pro-
spective, was the object of the attention
Of young man with whom she was
very favorably impressed, but twho, with
every encouragement, continued to
pause just short of a proposal. The
young lady managed to put in circula-
tion what appeared to be a reliable re-
port that her pecuniary expectations
were simply in the public mind, and
in two days the young fellow had pro
posed and been accepted. 1t is not
often that $50, 900 constitutes an obstacle
to young lady's matrimonial success,
but it did in this case, and the young
lady in question doesn't feel the least
put out about it.

PORTLAND, August, 10.-Charles Cos
grove, an aeronaut, was instantly killed
this afternoon at East Portland while
making parachute descent. Cosgrove
assembled in balloon, and distance of
about one thousand feet. The parachute
was successfully loosened, and Cosgrove
for short distance descended very rapid
ly. Soon the parachute filled, and the
speed was slackened. When about two
hundred feet from the ground, it is
supposed, Cosgrove's grip loosened, for
suddenly he let go of the parachute, and
fell to the ground striking on the hard
street.
Joseph Thomas Jenkins. a conductor
on the Second street electric car line, was
killed today between this city and Full
ton Park. Jenkins was alongside the
car collecting fares. As the car was
crossing over a trestle about one hun
dred feet high, his head was projected
backward and was struck by a pole
alongside the track, throwing him from
the car. He fell to the ground below,
sustaining injuries from which he died.
Wllllam Hunter, young man 22
years OF age, was drowned in Columbia
slough today, about five miles from this
city, in four feet of water. The drown
ing was witnessed by a young man who
said Hunter was swimming on his back,
when he suddenly sank. 1t is supposed
he was taken with cramp. When the
young man was asked why he did not
endeavor to save the drowning man, he
replied that he was afraid that he would
carry him under to.
