very large. A great deal of machinery

for use in the various mines and for the
working of and reduction of the various
rich mineral deposits there.

ton, colored boy about IA years Of
age, who was bound to Rev. George a.
Copp, near Fishers Hill, Shenandoah
county, attempted to murder Mr.. Cop
and his wife and two small children.
Mr.. Copp had sent the boy to a neigh.
boris to have his boots repaired. and
when he returned, as was his usual way
of entering the house, he climbed upon
4 small outbuilding, from which he
reached an upper porch, and entered
the house through window to his own
room. This was about 8 O'Clock, and
the boy says he then went to the kitch'
eli and stood by the stove for an hour
or two, until, as he thought, his victims
were sound asleep. He then, with his
murderous weapon, an axe, quietly
opened the door leading to Alr. Copp.

The death of Associate Justice Lamar,

the name of some republican, probably

BETTINA PADELFoRD-RAFFAEL ILL.
Bettina Ordway-Padclford- Gerard-Raf-
fael is again before the public. This
time, however, she appears as an inva-
lid. She is reported to be suffering
from cancer at private hospital at
No. 2l5 west Forty-third street.
Bettina Gerard, or, as she is best
known to the public, Mrs. Arthur Pa
delford, the divorced wife of Balti-
more millionaire, is the daughter of
Gen. Albert Ordway. She began the
escapadcs that have made her notori-
Gus when she was a society belle in
Washington. 1t was there that she
married, at eighteen, Arthur Padelford,
of Baltimore. Their married life was
brief. In 1855 Mr.. Padelford obtained
an absolute divorce.
Then Mrs. Padelford came before the
public in variety of ways. She let
young diplomat drink champagne from
her pink silk slipper at White Sulphur
Springs, and horsewhipped her mana,
ger. She appeared with the Conreld
Opera Company, and later attempted
to star, but failed disaStrously. In 1889
she married John ]. Rafael, a tenor
singer of the Conreid Opera Company.
Since her failure as star she has
sung in 'King Cole" with the Duff
company in "Gondoliers." and IN
Di1ey's "Seven Ages"
Mrs. Rafael has been i'll for some
time. She is at present under the care
of DR.. White, who, it is said, hopes for
her complete recovery. He refuses to
talk about her case.-N J. Hortd.

he not only extends the operation OF

and changes the stations of his favorite

The Norfolk and Western Road

The Senate District committee gave
hearing yesterday afternoon to rep
resentatives of the Norfolk and West
ern Railway, as well as to representa-
tives of other railways, which propose
to have some voice in the matter of the
entrance of the Norfolk and Western
to Washington.
Mr.. w. G. Bullet, attorney for the
road, stated the objections to the yari-
Gus amendments proposed. Chiefamong
them was the alteration suggested by
lines which wished to use the bridge
which the bill authorizes the Norfolk
and Western to build at the Three Sis
tiers. Mr., Bond, representing the
Richmond and Danville, urged an
amendment which requires the Nor
folk and Western to make connection
with his road some five miles below the
Long Bridge and enter the city upon
the Richmond and Danville track.
There was q lengthy discussion, but
nothing definite was reached.
After adjournment of the full COM
mittee the subcommittee met. 1t con-
sists of Senators Faulkner, Mcmillan
and Gibson. The composition of this
Committee is said to be unfavorable to
The Norfolk a4d Western. 1t is under
stood that Senator Faulkner favors the
bill, while it said Senators Mcmillan
and Gibson oppose it. The sub-coin-
mittee came 60 no conclusion, but will
have a report in readiness tG lay be-
fore the full committee, which meets
on Friday next.

DEATH OF JUSTICE LAMAR.

Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar,
associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court, died at Macon, Ga, al
$50 o'clock last night. His death was
sudden, although he had been ailing for
some time.
Justice Lamar was born in Putnam
county, Georgia, September II, 1928.
He was educated at Oxford until be
entered Emery College. from which he
was graduated in 1915, when he com
menced his legal studies. In 1917 he
was admitted to the bar, and two years
later removed to Oxford, where he
was professor of mathematics i'll the
Oxford University, and assistant edi-
tor of the Southern Rerie,c until 1870,
when he removed to CovingtOn, Ga.
In 1853 he was sent to the Georgia leg
islature, and in the following year re
turned to his plantation in Lafayette
county, Miss, from which place he was
elected to the Thirty-fifth and Thirty
sixth Congresses, resigning from the lat
ter to take seat in the secession con-
vention of his State. In the following
year he was made lieutenant colonel
of the Nineteenth Regiment, and was
soon promoted to the rank of colonel.
In 1868 Mr.. Jefferson Davis sent him to
Russia as the representative of the
Confederate cause, but no important
results were apparent from the mis-.
sion. He was sent to the Forty-third
and Forty-fourth Congresses, and in
1877 was sent to represent Mississippi
in the United States Senate, and con-
tnued to do so until ne was appointed
Secretary of the Interior by President
Cleveland March 5, 1885. He was
nominated by President Cleveland De-
cember 6, 1887, as justice of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court. While in
the Senate he delivered splendid eu-
ology of Senator Sumner, which Great
ed considerable comment in the North.
In 1879 he and Senator Conklin had a
quarrel which came near leading to
something serious.

THE OBJECTION certain people III
Georgetown make to bridge across
the Potomac at Arlington for pedes-
TRANS, carriages and an electric rail
way. upon the ground that it would OBJ
strnct the commerce Of their city, is en-
tirelv untenable. No vessels go to
GEORGETOWN now except in tow, and
a draw bridge offers no obstruction
and raises no danger to steam tug, as
is demonstrated by the numerous
bridges across rivers leading to other
cities, against which no complaint IS or
can. with good reason, be made.

mar. of the u 5. Supreme Court, was

the attack of paralysis he received sew
eral wears ago. Intellectually, he was
much beyond the average man. but by
no means ranked among the really

speech he made in the Senate, in which

ALExANDRIA, Va
TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. "a, 1893.

A VERY important matter Will be
considered at the meeting of the City
Council tonight, one in which every
BODY who has be, n present or pro-
spective interests in Il e welfare of Alex
andria is deeply concerned-her rights
in her own streets. She has already
given away all those rights so far as re-
late to water, and many of them in re-
spect of railroads, and though they
were valuable, she received little or no
pecuniary consideration therefor. Wise
cities always secure their own collective
interests before providing for those OF
individuals. The question to be decid-
ed tonight should therefore be consld-
cred dispassionately, without the slight
est prejudice, aud solely and entirely
with reference to the present and future
GOOD of Alexandria, leaving that OF in
dividuals and companies, whether OF
residents or strangers, out of view, as
comparatively unimportant. One thing
should be specially provided, and that
is that in any further grant of street
privileges, loss from the nonfulfilment
Of promises made in respect of them, be
nrevented beyond pcradventure.
