Important Decision Of the q. 5. Supreme
Court.

THE DEED OF TRUST RECORDED FIRST
RECORDED FIVE HOURS LATER.
The U. S. Supreme Court at Washington
decided an important case ON Monday.
Robert J. Glendy borrowed from the
Bank Of Lewisburg, w. Va, $4,000, and
to secure its payment gave deed of trust
conveying his Stuart McClung farm in
Greenbrier. The bank did not record the
deed.
A year after the deed was executed, find
ing himself in failing circumstances, Glen
dy executed a deed of trust to Sheffey &
Bumgardner of Staunton, to secure all his
creditors pro rata, in which deed the Stu
art McClung farm was also conveyed.
This deed was recorded on the day it
was executed. About five hours after it's
recordation the prior deed of the Bank of
Lewisburg was recorded. The trustee in
the Bank deed advertised the farm for sale.
Shelley & Bumgardner took the case be-
fore Judge Jackson Of the U. S. District
Court Of w. Va, who decided that the
Sheffey & Bumgardner deed controlled the
property, and that Sheffey & Bumgardner
as trustees, were entitled to the $17 900 for
which the farm had been sold, (by consent
Of both parties the farm had been sold the
money for it to stand in lieu of the land)
for distribution among the creditors. The
Bank of Lewisburg appealed from Judge
Jackson 8 decision.
Three weeks ago the case was argued be-
fore the U. S. Supreme Court by Judge
Snyder of West Va, for the Bank, and
James Bumgardner, j., of Staunton, and
A. B. Brown of Washington, for Sheffey
& Bumgardner, trustees.
The court Monday handed down de-

In making his report in Fresbytery, last
week, as chairman of the committee on

attention to the fact that the banner Sab

The cigar factory is another industry in

A CITY ALREADY BUILT.
I drove across the river on the new iron
bridge and along the Heights of Basic City
on which some fifteen OIL twenty very pref
ty dwellings have been put up. One was
pointed out to me that cost the owner
81 900 and he had just sold it for $500.
Looking down from the heights, felt like
exclaiming as Judge Lucas Of the West
Virginia Supreme Court. did on the same
spot few hours ago: s'Why you have a
city already built !"
VIRGINIA AND NEW YORK.
I saw a $50, 900 block of residences being
erected by Judge Benjamin w. Downing
of Brooklyn, N. Y, who has found large
profit in investment here. He gave good
illustration of the difference between in
vesting in Virginia and the Northern
States. He said that with other gentlemen
he formed a company to start anindustrial
town, very fortunately located for that pur-
pose, in western New York. This was
five years ago, and to-day it has not yet ap-
preached the size of Basic City nor begun
to have as many industries. In Basic City
there is an imperative demand for houses
and saw twenty-five being erected around
the Normal College, every one of which is
rented in advance.
And so I close the first birthday and the
first years history of Augusta county S

have something to say in compliment to

We reduce quotations Oh wheat cents and
on corn cents. 1t has been general decline
the country over. In Chicago it has been a
battle OF the "Bulls" and Bears" with the
victory on the side of the "Bears." 1t is not
easy to give an adeqate cause for such sharp
decline. European advices have been such as
would naturally lead to an advance, but the
bears seemed to have the whip hand, and have
persistently battered down prices with the re-
suit named. Exporters are buyers at the de-
cline, and it is hoped that this week will see
some improvement, OF the decline checked at
least. Some small lots of good wheat have
been offered in Staunton, and taken by the
home mlllers at reduced prices, but being
pretty we'll filled with wheat bought at higher
prices they are indifferent buyers at present.

NOVEL INDUSTRY,
One of the most novel industries at Basic
City is the match factory. I had never
seen one. It is brick building and the
works are driven by a large engine. The
blocks are cut into splints Al inches long.
These 20 to four machines where they are
cut in two and a coil takes them up. Still
in the coil they are dipped in the igniting
composition. Another machine runs them
to the drying room, and then they go to a
room where girls put them in boxes. The
boxes are made by machinery in the second
story and run down shnte to the girls in
q lower room who pack the matches in
them. The output of the factory is 1875
gross day. ME-, w. H. Pearson of n. c.,
who learned the business in Lebanon, Pa. ,
is the head of the factory.
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
The Knitting Mill is another factory that
will employ girls. 1t met with al accident
by the roof falling in in the great
December snow. but everything is all right
again and the machinery is all in. Among
the loudest whistles blown for anniversary
day'' was that Of the plucky proprietor of
the knitting mill.
The furniture factory is busy mannfac-
turing school desks. 1t has orders ahead
and some from as far as Hayti. 1t will
make the seats fof the new opera house.
The bottling works nearby are an evil

is named Leiding and is from Pennsylva-
MIA. He came to Basic City with his ma

toinvite Sherman, Mckinley, Foster and
Foraker to be present and address the
delegates. No action was taken in re-
gard to authorizing the convention to
nominate candidate Senator, the mem.
bers of the committee agreeing that it
would be beyond their province to issue
such call and that it would not be
wise for the convention to interfere in
the Senatorial contest. The greatest
unanimity and enthusiasm prevailed in
the committee and the outlook is for a
vigorous and aggressive campaign.

The burning of q barrel in a smoke
house at the residence of j. A. Trimble
caused an alarm to be sounded at
about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, and
although the fire didn't amount to any
thing it gave the fire boys another op-
portunity to show their mettle, which
they did in gallant style. The big bays
were down near the Enterprise Planning
Mill when the first tap sounded and the
way they made the run with the loaded
wagon to the engine house and from
there with the engine up High street
and out Main, excited the admiration of
everybody who witnessed it. "That

An alarm of fire was turned in at half
past six Monday evening, occasioned by
a slight blaze at the cooperage works
OF J. M. Boyd & Co., near the B. 4 O. S.
w. depot. The roof YVES ignited by a
spark from the chimney used in drying
the barrels. The fire was easily extih-
guished with buckets almost as soon as
discovered and no damage was done,
though had the wind been unfavorable
and the discovery been made few
moments later the adjacent property
would have been likely to suffer severely.
The fire company was there you might
say almost before the alarm was given
and took their station at Boyd's pond
prepared for action, but it was not found
necessary to throw water.
