THE VIRGINIA GOLD MINEs.-The
latest "gold bug" to show his faith in
the Virginia gold fields is John Cor
ham, the founder of the famous Cor
ham Silver Manufacturing Company, of
Providence, r. l., who has purchased
the Grimes mine and the Vancluse, in
Orange county, at private figures.
Out of the latter mine 81, 100000 was
taken before the war, and at depth
not one-twentieth the distance of the
western mines and in very crude
way. Mr.. Gorham is going to expend
100000 for the latest improved mining
machinery known in the business, and is
at the head of a company with a CAPT.
tai of 100000.
Another mine, the Grasty, one of
very best in the eastern gold belt, is
about to be started up with new and
improved machinery by syndicate of
New York capitalists.
At Irwin station mica mine was
discovered some years ago of fine quail
ity. 1t was in the market for two or
more years with no buyers at S50, 900.
But year by year the Irwin sisters kept
advancing the price. The 1st of last
January Engineer Adams took three
months option On the property at 49,
600. He expended $4,000 in northern
capital in prospecting and developing
it between January 1 and March %,
selling in the meantime 900 worth
of mica, taken out at depth ofsixty
feet and as colorous as spring water.
Mr.. Adams closed the option with
Miss Irwin at $4,000, and sold it
few days ago to a Boston syndicate for
$4,000, and who have capitalized tat
$250,000, and are going to work it for
all it is worth. The track contains l.
500 acres, and was purchased some
years ago by the Misses Irwin for less
than $4,000. For mineral speculation
Goochland county takes the lead.

An UPRISING IN CoREA.-An alarm
ing state of affairs in Corea is reported
by the steamship Empress of China,
which arrived at Vancouver yesterday.
On the 10th ofApril last there was an
uprising in the Corean capital of great
throngs of the togakees or fanatics,
who number altogether no less than
800, 900. Forty thousand of these peo-
pie assembled and petitioned the local
governor to expel the foreign mission
aries. their demands being seconded by
some 10000 sympathizels f.om outside
the capital, who fiocked to join their
brethren within the city. An attempt
to quiet the uprising by the arrest of
those prominently engaged in it had
not been successful. When the steamer
left fof Vancouver the foreign residents
were hastily departing in great state
of trepidation, fearing massacre. The
United States gunboat Petrol has left
Nagasaki for Seoul, the corean capital;
in order to protect American lives and
property.

MoossH1sERs CAPTURED.-The largest
haul of moonshiners ever made in West Vir-
ginia by internal revenue officers was closed
up Yesterday, and the prisoners, forty-five in
number. are now en- route to Charleston IN
charge of strong posse of United States
marshals and guards. Among the prisoners
are two women, Clara Smith and Mary Betch,
all, who have been particularly active ana
successful in making mountain dew" for
several wears past. Both are on the sunny
side of thirty, and not unattractive, but the
men, for the most part, are tough lot, being
typical West Virginia mountaineers. They
were all captured in Mcdonald and Wyoming
counties, and their arrest practically breaks
nm the moonshine business in that portion of
the State, for the present, at least.

cratic Senator being asked to-day if his
efforts to get places for people in his
State had been reasonbly successful, re-
piled. "When I get the next place 1t

abiding to the appointment of man

new Court of Appeals of this city, said
sit was well for the city that Hawaii

THE WOMEN managers of the Chicago
fair have been in constant state OF
fuss ever since they were foolisnly ap-
pointed. 1t commenced with their re-
moval of Miss Phoebe Cousins, their
treasurer, soon after their appointment,
and is still in progress. But it is not at
all surprising. The proper sphere of
women is home, not in public places,
mixing up with men, and vainly at
tamptjng to do mems work.

A SHIP infected with typhus fever, a
rare disease, but as infectious as cholera,
passed the quarantine at New YORK
last month, though that quarantine is
supposed to be impossible. How then
can it possibly be effective against the
cholera, should that disease break out
in foreign ports between which and
New York there is frequent and direct
communication

BRoYLEs AcQUlTTED.-The trial of
E. T. Broyles for the shooting of Alr.
Snyder ended at Luray yesterday in
the jury rendering verdict of mot
guilty. Mr.. Broyles was at once dis
charged, and was heartily congratulate
ed by his friends. The shooting occur
red on the steps of the postottice on the
evening of August 5 1892. There had
been trouble between the two men.
Snyder Oh July Both published letter
abusing Broyles. When they met
again the shooting occurred. Broyles
claimed he had used his pistol in self
defense. No pistol was found on Sny-
der. The wounded man died in the
Garfield Hospital, Washington, Sep
TENDER 9TH. The medical evidence was
contradictory as to the effect of the sur
gical treatment on Snyder. The de-
Tense was bad surgical treatment, self
defense and provocation. The trial
lasted twelve days.

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-At o'clock this
morning the Mississippi river here reg
'istered 81 feet, 10 inches, within two
inches of the danger line. This is a
rise of 4 inches in the past l.: hours.
Business on the wharf is practically
suspended. The steamboats, are able

Reports from above here show that the

the Mississippi will reach its crest here
tomorrow and will then fall rapidly.
CINCINNATI, O., May 3.-Floods are

THE STATEMENT that Mr.. Roosevelt,
the republican chief of the republican
civil service commission, resigned that
position, but withdrew his resignation
at the earnest request OF President
Cleveland, is made upon no less au-
thority than that of Mr.. Roosevelt him
self. And yet every democrat in the
country, even those most opposed to
his denomination, turned out last No
yember and voted for Mr.. Cleveland.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1898.

THE sentimentalists who oppose the
infiction of the death penalty are sorely
troubled by the action of the republic
of Switzerland, nearly all the States of
which have now ratified the action of
the federal congress reimposing that
penalty after years of suspension. The
death penalty does not prevent MUIR
ders. but there is no doubt of the fact
that the certainty of its infection does
tend greatly to diminish the number OF
them, and that it is the uncertainty IN
respect of it that handicaps its effective
ness. If the quality of certainty were
attached to it, and ifit were preceded
by several aoggings at public whipping
posts, the crime of deliberate murder
would soon be among the lost arts.

THE lower branch of the City Coun-
oil of Richmond has imposed a license
tax of $500 upon race pool rooms.
Indulgence in vices can not be pre-
vented bv law, but there is no doubt
of the fact that it can be best and most
restricted by the wise but discarded
method of a high license tax. Such a
tax not only makes vice expensive, but
also makes those who cater to it the
most vigilant police agents, in order
that they may profit by monopoly,

AMONG all the means now being en-

export, so far as observed here, no
stress has been laid upon the prophy-
Tactic qualities of that food. 1t was
the invariable experience Of all Con
federate surgeons, who were careful
enough to notice such things, that the
sick rate was always less when corn
meal was a part of the soldiers rations.

WHAT FLORIDA NEEDS.

In letter from Ohio to The Metropo
lis the writer wants to knew what kind
of home seekers and settlers Florida de-
sires. The answer is best given in the
following extract from another letter:
"Florida needs men who will produce
something and will add intrinsic value
to the land by cultivating and improving
it; men who get up early in the morn
ing and work six days in the week ; men
who will not be contented merely to
scratch the ground and make bare liv
ing. but who will plow deep and cult
waite thoroughly and keep the top soil
mixed with the sub-soil, and keep
gathered up all the loose capital lying
around the barnyard and cart it to the
field, spreading it broadcast on the land.
In few years he will have soil foot
deep that will yield bonntiful crops,
which will make everything comfort
able and happy around him, and hard
times and class legislation will vanish"
Good homes and good lands and respect
full treatment ere guaranteed to all who
will come to Florida and carry out the
above lire of cultivation.
