The Big Stone post. (Big Stone Gap, Va.) 1890-1892, 1891-07-24

TIE Bailey case continues to be the one
theme Of interest and discussion in Bristol,
and among good many people in Big Stone
Gap. A good deal of abuse and vituperation
is being indulged in by some of the parties.
1t would be much better to let this case be de-
cided BY the courts without engendering any
more feeling about it. 1t is seldom, if ever,
that abuse Of courts does the case of him who
INDUCES in it any good, but is very often of
serious detriment to his cause. The courts of
Virginia are abundantly able to decide all
causes coming before them and we believe
will so far as possible mete out justice to
every man according to bis deserts. As to
the hints heard on every hand about corrupt
means having been used with members of the
Supreme Court, it is all stuff, and it is sur
prising that any Virginian should SO forget
himself as to indulge in such talk.

COMES OF PROLIFIC STOCK.
Woman Who Bore Ten Children In
Thlrty-Nine Months.

Mrs. Lucian Maybcrry, Of Little Rock,
Ark, has beaten the record and is the
mother Of ten children, all born within q
married life of thirty-nine months. OF
the number there are two triplets and
two pair Of twins, one of the latter being
only few days old. The children are all
healthy and even unusually intelligent
for their ages. Mr.. Mayberry is we'll
TODD merchant and regards his e1traor-
binary family with pride, though he says
he does feel like the head Of founding
asylum. Mrs. Mayberry is pretty
blonde woman of barely twenty-four
years, plump and good .natured over her
numerous brood.
She says that her mother gave birth to
six pair of twins, and that her grand
mother, Miss Annabel Humphrey, of
Maryland, and-a gr. at belle in Washington
during the first Harrison's administra-
ton, presented her husband every second
year for twenty years with triplets. Mr..
Mayberry, on the contrary, states that he
was the only child of parents themselves
only children. Another popularity Of
his little family is that they are all boys.
Physicians say that Mrs. Mayberry has
surpassed by one any case of which they
have any record, a Polish Countess in
l705 having given birth to nine children
in the same length of time, but she died
on the last occasion and three of the
children with her, while all were under
sized and deficient in intellect and physi-
cal vitality, living only few years and
dying of premature decay.

BARNARD vs. sTAUB.

The Executive Secretary's Suit
 Against the Comptroller.
 HARTFORD, Oct. 27.-The case of Austin Brainard, Bulkeley's "executive secreta- ry,' against Comptroller Staub, was brought up for trial in the superior court this morning before Judge Robinson. The case is mandamus brought by Brainard to compel Staub to draw an order for the payment of $66.90, which he claims is due on his salary for last February. Charles J. Cole and George P. Mclean appeared for Brainard and William Hamersley for Staub. The plaintiffs put in testimony showing Brainard's appointment. The de- fense offered the election returns and the journals of the house and senate in taking action on them, but these were ruled out as irrelevant. In the arguments Mclean claimed that the comptroller was com pelled by statute to make the order de- manded and that @ mandamus could lie against him as we'll as against any one else, and that de facto officers had rights to all the emoluments of their offices. MT. Hamersley claimed that @ writ of manda- mus could not lie against an executive officer of the state whose duties, prescribed by the constitution, gave him discretiona- " powers.

A Woman Who Attained she Age of
 One Hundred Years Thirteen Days
 Ago.
 BRIDGEPORT, Oct. 27.-sGrandma" Ben son died at the Bridgeport hospital this morning, aged one hundred years and thir- teen days. Her death was the result of a general breaking down from old age, & process which in course of nature has been going on for some time. The old lady,s last hours were peaceful. It will be re- membered that on the 14th of the present month she held . reception at the hospital. this being the date on which she reached the age of one hundred. She then showed that her faculties were well preserved, and received her callers cheerfully. She has been an inmate of the hospital for two years with an ailment which caused her considerable pain at times. She bore her sufferings with much fortitude, however. although she sometimes asked that Heath might come soon to free her from her bod fly ills She was born at Oyster Bay, Long Island Besides a brother, Seeley Hall of Brooklyn, and sister, Mrs. Lavena Cotter of Long Island, aged respectively seventy five and eighty years, Mrs. Benson leaves one child and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.

REMOVED TO mILwAUKEE.
NIT. John E. Lowell in Improved
 Health-The Veteran Schoolmaster


 Health-The Veteran SchOolmaster
 Almost a Century old.
 It will be of interest to all of the former pupils of the venerable preceptor. John E. Lowell, to know that he has removed from Waterbury to Milwaukee. He has been living at the former place with his son-in-law and daughter, Mrs. Frank White, who have removed to Milwaukee.
 MT. H. W. Mansfield of the Lowell Fund association, hearing that MT. Lowell was intending to go west, visited him and found him in health, greatly improved since the last banquet of the Lancasterian
 society. His voice is stronger, his step frmer and the whole tone of his constitu- tion is better, in fact he is better in health
 than he was three years ago. He had many qualms and misgivings about under taking 50 long journey at his advanced age, as he has seen ninety-seven summers and ninety-six winters. He has, however, stood the journey very well and is quite happy in his new home. His mind is 8 trife shaken and he thinks that Lake Michigan is New Haven harbor. He says he finds difficulty in seeing New Haven IRnGnOUb0, DClG It IS uaCuFal tQdI HIS oy6- sight should fail him somewhat The members of the Lowell Fund asso- citation procured for him a comfortable apartment in a palace car, and provided for all the wants that an elderly traveller might have.
 MT. Mansfield says. that MT. Lovell's present good health seems to indicate that he will complete century of existence. Mir. White removed to the west, having
 had flattering business offer. He has,
 after much study and thought and expert menting, perfected mechanism by which in melting and refining metals no smoke is emitted and the waste though the smoke in the old way is obviated, and no tall chimneys required. Some Chicago capi- talists hearing of the invention examined it and were 80 favorably impressed with it that they were instrumental in procuring Mr. White the fattering offer which caused his removal to Milwaukee.
 It is somewhat doubtful, in view of Mir. Lovell's removal at his far advanced age to point 50 far west, if the venerable and loved preceptor will ever appear at another Lowell banquet or anniversary in New Ha- ven. Still, it is quite probable that the annual banquets will be continued as hith-

COST OF LIQUOR LICENSES.

Licenses For Dealers Now in the
 Business to Cost $4OO-The Cost oi
 New Licenses Still Undecided.
 The question whether liquor licenses should cost $4OO or $500 per year was yes terday decided by the county commission CTS in favor of the former sum. MT. Bur leigh and Mir. Durham voted in favor of $400, while MT. Jacobs cast his vote to charge $500 for the licenses.
 The year for liquor dealers outside of New Haven begins November 1, 1891, and for the dealers in the city January 1, 1892 All of these dealers will be charged $4OO per year. ..-
 When Mr. Jacobs found the majority against him he made proposition to his colleagues to charge $4O0 for each renewal of license and $500 for each new license, and it is this question of cost of licenses for new applicants that the commissioners will consider.
 When asked what he thought of the proposition, Mir. Burleigh said: "The sub ject is under consideration, and therefore l can't say what action we will take. We need little time to consider it. Under the provisions of the plan, we would have to do more work The reason why was opposed to increasing the license from $400 to $500 was thought $400 pretty good figure and did not think we should quite yet go up to the limit, $500, that the legis- lature has fixed for licenses. preferred to wait until, say when the legislature changes the law and places the limit be yond $500.n
 Tn explainino the merits of his comnrono- ise measure, MT. Jacobs spoke substantial ly as follows:
 "This plan of mine puts a premium of $100 on the good behavior of the liquor dealer. I believe in high license. My ob- ject in favoring $500 license is to keep down the number of saloons and the only way to do that is to have high license"
 MT. Jacobs is quoted as saying that the record books of the commissioners show that there are nearly as many licenses is sued now at $400 as there were formerly at $500. Those who wish to engage in the liquor business would have to consider the cost at $500.
 After the new applicant has been in business year tho charge to him for 8 renewal of his license will be the same as the price paid by the old dealer, $40O. Of course he will have to. conduct his busi- ness lawfully to entitles him to the $4DO license.
 In New Haven 384 liquor licenses have been issued this year. The statistics of the state show that there is one license for every 250 persons in the state, even in cluding the babies. In the case of an ap- plicant for beer license, the new dealer would have to pay $250. The old one pays b200.

The Coming CrysanthemumS Show at
 the Rink. As the season approaches for this annual

the Rink.
 As the season approaches for this annual display the interest increases among all classes. The fact that amateurs this year will only compete with amateurs stimulates the zeal of all, and especially the younger element of the society. The development of interest in and the admiration for the chrysanthemum has been slower in this than in Oriental countries. but in more recent years the taste of the people of all classes, from the humble cottage house. wife to the mistress of the millionaire's palace, has been applied to the cultivation of the many varieties of this autumnal fower- For centuries it has been the ob- ject of fostering care by horticulturists of China and Japan. The labors of European and American cultivaters have been richly rewarded; and yet each season presents something more beautiful in variety than anything that has gone before.
 The adaptability of the chrysanthemum to effect in grouping is wonderful, and nothing in the display of natural flowers is moro pleasing to the eyes of those who enjoy looking upon that which is beautiful in nature.
 It should be understood that full mem- bership to the New Haven Chrysanthe- mum club is secured by remitting the fee, one dollar, to the secretary, Miss Frances 8. Ives, 478 Orange street. Such happy blending of charity and pleasure rarely oc- ours even in this benevolent city.
