DINy1II.E, Va, May 9.-The Supreme
Court of Appeals has granted q superseoeds
in the case Of Margaret Lashley and Jim
Iyles, who were recently convicted OF
murder and sentenced to be hanged on
Friday night. Argument for a new trial
will be heard by the Court in November,
Ii is q singular coincidence that the rope
with which the man and woman were to
be hanged aud the superseded above re-
ferred to both came to hand to-day. When
the news OF the action Of the Court was
communicated to the Lashley woman she
fairly danced for JOY.
AlEMoRIAL-DAY.
The ladies of the Memorial Association
announce that Friday next Will be 90
served as Memorial-day in this city. The
address Of the occasion Will be delivered
by Captain Harry Wooding.
A special from Mt. Airy; N. c., says that
an enthusiastic meeting was held there
few nights ago in the interest OF the Dan
vile and East Tennessee road, and that 1T
was recommended that $4,000 be sub
scribed for the road.
The revival meetings which have been in
progress at Mt. Vernon Methodist church
during the week have been largely attend
ed and will be continued another week.
TOBACCO MARKET.
Owing to the exceedingly dry and cold
weather the tobacco market this week was
exceedingly light. The offerings were of
medium quality, all desirable grades sell;
ing very high and O good, strong demand
for everything. The continued dry
weather, which is retarding the planting
of tobacco. is causing an incipient specu-
latiye demand, and should the spell last
much longer the market Will boom. The
stocks of leaf in the hand of the ware
houses are probably very much smaller
than ever before at this season of the year:
| The total sales for the week of loose leaf
were 4O2, 219 pounds at an average price of
about Sl3 per hundred. Manufacturers
shipped 121, 800 pounds of plug during the
week.
At the Main-Street Methodist church to-
morrow morning Rev. James A. Duncan,
