ARoom In Chesapeakes.

Among the low-priced speciaitIes. Chesa
peake and Ohio doomed into prominence
on purchases supposed to be for account
OF Drexel. Morgan Il Co., says the New
York correspondent Of the Baltimore SIM.
The rise was said 10 be based upon the
prospect of close alliance with the Rich
mond Terminal. the terms of whose re-
organization will be announced within the
next few days. 1t IL thought by some that
Mr.. Morgan may decide upon some method
while in London TO get the stock more active
on the London Exchange. 1t is listed
there. but is not traded in TO any great
extent. An application has been made TO
list the bonds and these may be quoted
there before long. Friends of Chesapeake
and Ohio are talking very hopefully about
the property, and point to the fine show
ing of net earnings so far in its fiscal year
as fully warrantIng their hopeful ex-
pressions. As q low-priced stock Chesa-
peako and OHIO common has attrac-
tons because of the association of
the vanderbilts with il. They are sup
posed to hold about 100000 shares at least
which are held for a good deal higher
price. Mr.. Huntington Is supposed 10
hold probably 100000 shares, while q few
other largo capitalists are believed to hold
another 100, 600. all of which is out or the
street This leaves only about 20Q, 900 shey,9-
Morgan gets ready to boom Chesapeakes it
IS said that there is very little in the way
Of putting it to Az very quickly.

BAlFOUR IN IRELAND.
lie Il Most Enthusiastically Welcomed at
Belfast and Elsewhere.

[By Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
BELFAST. April 3.-Rlght Hon. 4. J. Bal
four, Conservative leader in the House OF
Commons, and formerly Chief Secretary
for Ireland. arrived in Belfast to-day to
deliver addresses IN support OF the oppO-
sition Of the Ulster UnIonists to homo
rule. A vast concourse greeted him on his
arrival. and thousands of Unionists
cheered loudly as he made his appearance.
The multitude was so enthusiastic that
they took the horses out of the carriage
which bore the Conservative statesman
and eagerly sought the honor Of drawing
the vehicle through the streets. There
was an extensive display of flags, and the
bands played Orange and Loyalists airs:
Numerous deputations presented formal
aud cordial greetings TO the ex-Secretary,
dwelling upon the loyalty of Ulster to
union with Great Britain. and extolling
the services Of Mr.. Balfour to the cause.
Mr.. Balfour replied with an earnest decla-
ration of the resolution OF the Conserya-
tiyes 10 resist home rule to the utmost.
At Tarne. seventeen and one-halt miles
from Belfast, Mr.. Baltour also had an en-
thusiastic greeting and listened 70 an ad-
dress in behalf of the Ulster Unionists. 20
which he delivered reply appropriate
from the Conservative standpoint.

ANOTHER ELECTROcUT!oN.
Apparently One of the Most Successful
of the Series.
tBy telegraph to the Dispatch.

SING SNG. N. Y, April 3.-James W.
Hamilton, q colored eX-preacher convicted
of wife-murder. died in the electric-chair
to-day. He walked with firm step to the
death chamber, two priests walking close
beside HIM. Hamilton took his seat in the
chair with glance OF curious interest at
his surroundings. His lips moved in re-
Spouse to the prayers for the dead which
Father Creeden repeated. but no words
could be heard. He was quickly strapped
in the chair, and at lilo all the connec-
tons had been made and Warden Brown
gave the signal. A current of l.740 volts
was turned on and the victim in the chair
jumped upward, straining at the straps,
and remained rigid. crucifX which he
held in his right hand was still olasped
tightly. but his lips stopped moving and
all signs OF life ceased at the instant
of contact. The current was left on
for sixty seconds and then turned of.
The physicians stepped forward. listened
for heart beats, and felt for the pulse.
They declared the subject dead at 1l:13.10.
The electrocution differed from all of lis
predecessors in that only one shock was
given. There was no scorching or scald-
ing of the skin or steaming at the cleo
trodes. and while the man was above me-
dunn height and Of massive build, II was
evident that death was instantaneous.
Such was the verdict of all who were pres
ent who had seen former executions in the
electric char. Electrician DAVIS said 1t
was the most successful at which he had
offciated. He gave the voltage a. LAO
and the amperes at $40.

PERSONAL MOTIFS.
OYSTER CASES DISMISSED.
The Test of tho Law Abandoned-Great
Need OF n Railroad ia Northern Neck.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
TAPPAHANsocK, Va, April 3.-The Cir
cult Court of Mathews county has ad-
journed, and the famous oyster cases, in
which injunctions had been awarded by
Judge T. X. Is. Wright against the COM
mander of the Chesapeake, the Oyster In
spector of Mathews county. and Others,
restraining the same from collecting the
oyster-tax and TO test the constitutlonality
of the law, was abandoned by the
plaintiffs and the cause dismissed.
This suit was instituted for the purpose
of testing the constitutIonality of the
oyster law. the plaintiffs claiming that the
Legislature had no right-hrst. to tax the
ordinary tongs; second. to tax the patent
tongs: third, to authorize leases of oyster
grounds; fourth, to authorize the county
judges to pass final judgment on the ques-
ton of the locations held by the lessee
and of the natural oyster-rocks without
the intervention of jury. A very great
amount of interest has been manifested IN
Mathews and adjoining counties in these
questions, which are of such vast interest
to the oystermen.
WELCOME AND SUCCESS.
The Rdpp1hdnnOck Times will come ont
in its first issue on Thursday. April 9Th,
with I. b. Lee editor and manager.
The railroad question Is one of very
great importance 10 the people or TINS Sec
ton, and with quick transportation the
merchants of this section and of the North
ern Neck would do their buying in Rich
mond. How does it happen that such a
country should be without the advantages
afforded by railroad transportation. while
50 many other portions of Virginia, less
fertile and in every way less attractive,
are blessed in that respect?
We are glad to see you are interested in
this question and hope you will continue
to discuss 1t through your columns.
