A FAIR AT DIR. HAILsToRKs'.-There
was grand fair given Saturday night
by DR.. Hailstorks, near Bethel, on the
Clifton Farm. Everything was pleas
ant until Marshall Brown got mad on
account of joking. Mr.. Lacy took ex-
ceptions to what Mr.. Brown said, and
they wanted to fight in the house. Mr..
Brown had handful of rocks and Mr..
Lacy long stick. The house was so
crowded there was not room for them
to fight without hurting other people
and as neither was anxious to go out
and fight by themselves in the dark
they passed the rest of the night in
looking away from each other. Later
some one hurt Mr.. Sam Luke's feelings
and he went out and dared anyone to
come out and fight him. No one went
out and hethrew piece ola swingle tree
in the window; one end struck the man.
tel piece and the other twisted around
and struck lady in the mouth. Every
body ran out of the house to catch Mr..
Luke but he got away and has been
hiding ever since. The lady does not
want her name mentioned but any one
would know her as she has three front
teeth knocked out.-JPnrenton l'ir-

Mr.. Breckinridge's Prospects.

LEXINGTON, KY, Mar. 22.-Colonel
Breckinridge's political opponents here
are positive that his political career is
ended, but his friends seem to believe
that there is yet something to come
that will save him. The be-
lief that Miss Pollard has had
financial aid in the prosecution of
her case by friends of Mr.. Owens, Brock
inridge's opponent, is causing Owens
to lose friends. 1t is claimed that
Breckenridge will get two-thirds of the
vote in the district, and that should the
contest be settled by convention Brock
inridge would have SO of the SO dele
gates.

THURSDAY EVENING. MAR. %, 1894.

SOME of the newspapers of the State
are still discussing the question OF an
extra session of the legislature next
winter. 1t is hoped that no such ques-
ton shall arise in the mind of the Gov
ernor. Legislatures are as injurious TO
States, as the Congress is to the whole
country, and the fewer and shorter the
sessions of either, the better for every
body, except the members Of both and
their employees. There is already
enough of State and national law to
last the country for twenty years: and
when the tariff bill shall have been pass
ID b, Congress, the general Interests
would be best conserved if there should
he no more Of either for ten years.
Nearly all the trouble that has come
upon the country or any of the States
into which it is divided has been the
legitimate result of legislation. Fewer,
and not more. sessions OF the legislature
are what Virginia is in need of.

THE SOUTHERN SOCIETY of New York

he will never vote for the new tariff

his constituents endorsed it. The worst

ACCORDING to testimony from the

Tuesday, there are twelve or fourteen
hundred fruit distilleries in Virginia,
from each of which, however, the gov

the crookedness of the distillers. This

Miss Pollard was an early conner to
the Circuit Court this morning. She
seemed in very good spirit but remain
ed only about fifteen minutes, and then
left the court room.
The day opened without indication
of interesting proceedings, for documen-
tary testimony, no matter how sensa-
tional, does not compare in dramatic
effect with evidence on the stand.
The deposition of Sister Augustine
who was connected with st. Joseph's
Founding Asylum near Cincinnati in
1885, at the time when Miss Pollard
claims she was confined there, was
read. 1t is similar to that of Sister Ag-
mes Regina Brown, read yesterday
evening. She does not believe that
Miss Pollard is Miss Burgwynn.
During the visit of Miss Pollard to
the asylum, she asked where the child
of Miss Burgwynn was, and was told it
died in July, 1882 "Then," said Sis
ter Augustine, "she put her hands to her
face and ran out of the room, sup
posed, grieving over the death of her
child"
a NUMBER Oh Cne questions asked SIS
ter Augustine by Mr.. Stoll, who was
present at the taking of the deposition,
we're in reference to visit to the asy-
lum by Mr.. Guy Mallon, of plaintiffs
counsel; what he tried to find out and
other pertinent questions. Mr.. Stoll
explained that the questions were ask
ed merely to show that the plaintiff had
every opportunity of securing evidence
at the asylum.
Part of the deposition was devoted to
the finding of O Christmas card in one
of the volumes of Irving which Miss
Pollard claimed to have presented to
the asylum library when she was there.
Sister Augustine said she did not know
whether Miss Pollard could have slip
ped the card in the book; nobody was
watching her.
