HALF TIME IN THE coTToN-rAcToRIEs.

All the cotton-factories in and near this
city, with the exception of the Rlue Ridge
Mills, started to work this week on nan
time. The reason is said to be, not so
much due to the scarcity as to the high
price of cotton. 1t is said that the, price
Of goods has not kept pace with the adj
vance in the raw material. and that with
this disadvantage operating against the
manufacturers no money can be made. a
good deal of the cotton now consumed
in the factories here is bought IN
the far South. 1t Is also said
that many of the cotton-factories, IN
North Carolina are closing down to less
work for the snme reason.
An excursion train of twelve coaches,
crowded to their fullest. capacity, left
here this morning for Norfolk and Ocean
View. The excursion was under the man
agement of ex-Mayor L. j. Jarratt, and was
for the benefit of the Methodist Female
Orphan Asylum. 1t was the largest excur-
sion party that has left our city in many
years, and was made up of the very best
class of our people.

The amount of sumac handled by dealers
in Petersburg aggregates between eight
aud ten million pounds annually. 1t will
probably run up to nearly. ten million
pounds this year. The handling of ssumac
has become large and important industry
in Petersburg, and has grown to its present
proportions from very small and modest
beginning. The entire product OF our fac-

in the commercial markets. The present
is the buying season with the dealers and

Two white boys of this city while bath
ing out in Dinwiddie county day or two
ago amused themselves by ducking a
smaller boy IN the water until the latter
became almost exhausted. The sport,
however, proved rather costly in the end.
Warrants were taken out against the boys;
who were taken before Justice Banks, and
they were fined and made to pay costs.
In view of the scarcity of the city water,
which has been used in part for the manu-
facture of ice. and which has been cut OFF
in the interest of private consumers, the
temporarily limit its product.
1t has become customary among the
negroes convicted of petit offences in tine
MAYORS Court of late to appeal TO the
Hastings Court. In accordance with this
custom Nicodemus Ellis. who was yester-
day sentenced to ninety days IN Jail for
chicken-stealing, this morning appealed
from the Mayors decision and gave bond
for his appearance to be tried by jury.

While there is no difference of opinion
among the Democratic citizens Of Peters
burg, as far as your correspondent has been
enabled TO ascertain, as to the Federal
elections bill now before the United States
senate. and while it is universally con-
demned as IN outrage as iniquitous in
conception and in purpose, there is yet a
prevailing sentiment that no hasty steps
looking to retaliation should be taken in
the South in anticipation of its becoming
law. The proposition 70 boycott tsd north

AFTER A RECREANT HUSBAND.
A Deserted Wife and Promised Bride, Togeth.
er, Seek Revenge on a Gay Deceiver.

An excited woman of middle age appeared
at County Clerk Wilson's office yesterday.
and startled that official by asking if there
was any law in this State to
punish a woman for whipping her
husband. Mr.. Wilson gravely assured
her that such a law existed. and
she then proceeded to tell an interesting
story of woman's trustfulness and mans
perfidy. She gave her name as Esther Rose,
of Cincinnati. and exhibited h she said
was a certified copy of a license for her
marriage to one Frank L. Rose. which
event, she says, occurred in that city sew
eral years ago. She had just arrived here
to seek her husband, whom she denounces
as q gay deceiver, declaring that ne has
been masquerading in Indianapolis ass
single man and is about to marry a worthy
young lady of this city. She inquired
whether a license had been issued for the
marriage of the couple, and seemed greatly
relieved when answered in the negative.
Finding that she could not chastise her
truant husband with the sanction OF the
the next best thing, to have
him arrested, and called at the
police station later il the day for that pur-
pose. Superintendent Travis listened 70
her story, and detailed two officers to as
sist in the search for the nan Rose: Mrs.
Rose, when seen by a reporter, talked quite
freely about her marital trouble. she was
accompanied to this city by Miss Katie
Schultz, who says she is another OF Roses
victims, as far as q promise or marriage
goes. She has with her a number OF
tender missives from him. The two
women talking at the same time
told their narrowing tale of wrong and du-
plicity. Mrs. Rose says when she came To
this country from England, several years
ago, she was possessed of considerable
property. After their marriage, she states,
Rose became %improvident, and squandered
$4,000 belonging to her In "a very
short time. When her means were about
exhausted he deserted her. and she conld
get no trace of him for some time. This
was in Cincinnati. When she next heard
of him he was living in another part OF
that city. and. according to the statements
of Mrs. Rose and Miss Schultz, was paying
attention to the latter lady in the guise of
an unmarried man.
very devoted, and that their we'd
ding-day had been fixed. The
wrOnged women compared notes and Joined
issues in a common cause. Rose, scentlng
the battle from afar, could not lace the
storm brewing. and fled the city. They
traced him to Indianapolis. and since reach
ing here, they say. they have ascertained
that he is again passing as a single man
and is engaged to marry very pretty young
lady living on Atwood street. Rose Is
about forty-five years old, and is not pre-
possessing in appearance. When last seen
yesterday the two indignant women were
In hot pursuit of the OBJECT of their wrath,
and his will be an unhappy lot If they over
take him.

HAD A REVOLVER WITH HIM.
A Car-Driver, DiSputinga POliceman's Author
ity, Is Arrested and Put Under Bond.

John Jones. a driver in the employ of the
Citizens Street-railroad Company, was ar
rested, at the corner of Illinois and Wash
ington street, yesterday afternoon, on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons. He
was standing in front of the Panhandle
railroad offices, when patrOlman La
Porte told him to move on,
as Instructions had been given
that officer to put a stop to the congrega-
ton of men and boys at that point. Jones
did not comply with the request, but, the
officer states, began arguing the question.
Being told a second time to clear the side
walk and failing to do so, LaPorte told him
he would be forced to put him under ar
rest. At this statement. the officer de-
clares, Jones placed his hand behind
him as if to draw q weapon, and
LaPorte caught his arm. When the
man was searched q revolver was
found in his hip-pocket and taken from
HIM. He was conveyed to the police sta
ton. but at once CAV bond, and was re-
leased. Jones declares hat he made no
attempt to draw the weapon, which he car
ries for protection against foOtpads when
driving, but that his arm was accidentally
thrown behind his body in the scutfie with
the officer when he was being placed under
arrest. He says he was waiting ut the cor
ner to go on duty from the transformer at 3
o'clock.
