plaintiffs in the suit OF Rockbridge Saw
ings Bank VS.. PeytonC Campbell company.
They are authorized to take care of the
property and to lease it out for the next
springs season, ending Nov. Is, 1898. Sue
cessive bad seasons at the springs is the
cause of the failure of the company. No
inventory of Indebtedness has as yet been
filed. A rough estimate places it at about
100000, a large part Of which is purchase
money owed on the property. The assets
are the Rockbridge Alum and the Jordan
Alum Springs. 1t is not unreasonable to
say that they are worth much more than
the above amount.

The Cold Wave.

| During the past ten days a cold wave OF
unusual frigidity has spread over the entire
country east of the Rocky Mountains and
wrapped it in I'LL embrace of snow and ice
In various States the character and inten-
| sity of the storm has variOd, but in all ii
has been characterized as the severest spell
experienced so early in the winter for many
years. AS far south as Charleston, sleel
and snow has fallen to some depth, a thing
almost unheard Of in that land of perpetual
| flowers, while in the north and northwest
great damage has been done and regular
tratic in many places suspended. LII Vir-
ginia the storm has been particularly severe
in places. At one point on the Seaboard
Air Line r. r. snow fell to the depth OF
two feet, and all trains were delayed.
Throughout the Valley intensely colo
weather has prevailed, the thermometer
varying from II to 5 degrees above zero.
Tuesday was generally considered the cold
est day. On that day the mercury here
stood at 10 degrees at 9 O'Clock A. NJ, and
there was little Oh go thaw during the day.
Ice inches thick of a superior quality has
formed and a large harvest of it is being
gathered. In this latitude it is seldom thai
Christmas weather is SO severe as to dis
courage the usual festivities and out door
sports, yet sucn WAS the case this season.
Many social events were postponed and
out door exposure avoided as much as pos
sible. The nercha1 is and tradesmen Who
dealt in holiday goods noted the falling OIL
in buyers very perceptibly. But two
years ago was far worse holiday season
for them. Before the holiday buying com
menced a 80 inch snow fell which remained
on the ground till Christmas day, when
another II inch fall WAS added to it. The
roadways and streets were blocked for
weeks and very few people from the sur
rounding country came into town, SO the
merchants were compelled to carry over
almost their entire stock. The unprece-
denied scene was then witnessed OF half d
dozen teams engaged night and day hauling
off the snow from our streets aud dumping
it into vacant lots and creeks. But ill.,
clement as the weather was there was not
the singing cold OF the present spell and
the Christmas of 1892 will probably hold the
low temperature mark for many years to
come.
