I.YNcHDURG, Va, April 10.

1fNChDONVr, va, April lU.
Up to the 24th of March the wealth
er and temperature conditions had
been very favorable for the rapid adj.
vancement of oil preparations for
spring sowing aud plnutiug During
the week ending March Oath, the
temperature was abnorlnal!y high
over the entire section, aud higher
than ever recorded during March
since tue Weather Bureau records
began in lSf3,- This had the effect
of bringing all the early fruit into
Gloom; winter wheat ana clover grew
up rankly, and new clover Gains up,
This warm spell was immediately fol
lowed by very severe and protract
ed cold snnp, with cold wave which
extended over the country east of the
Rocky Mountains, and caused freez
ing temperatures aud killing frosis
AS far southwark AS contrUl Texas
and the Gulf coast. In this Stat.
the early fruits were generally all
killed, and probably the greater por-
tion of the late apple crop; clover
was cut down, aud new clover largely
killed; wheat was injured and set
back. and where it had begun to
joint, was killed; the strawberry
loon was generally killed; tobacco
plants were injured or killed where
not properly protected, but later re
ports Indicate that there will be
abundant plants for nearly all sec
Gons.
During the seven days ending Mon
day, the weather has been generally
dry, windy and cold. Complaint is
made that the ground was dry and
hard, and too cold for planting. Tie
ground is generally nearly all plough
ed for corn except in the extreme
southwest, and so@e corn planting
was in progress in Orange and Sur
ry counties. More THAI the usual
acreage has been prepared ior corn,
and probably less than the usual
acreage will be planted with tobacco.
Reports from ull sections OF the
State show that good rain WAS
badly needed. but roin was in pro
gress over the State this morning.
and much good will probably result
therefrom; it will be followed by
clearing weather tonight and Wed
nesday, and by slightly cooler tenn
perature after tonight. With favora
BILE rains and warmer temperature,
corn planting would be rapidly push
ed forward.

STRANGE.

A peculiar incidtnt in the life Ol
Rev Thomas j. Barry. rector oi ST
Aun's Catholic church, has been
brought to mind by the somewhat
similar story published in The
Times yesterday Ut the death III
Washington of Father Walters. whu
was prominently connected will,
the famous Surrat case. The event
referred to occurred when Father
Barry WAS rector of the Church oI
Our Lady of Visitation, at Lehigh

Barry had retired he was awaken.

that she had heard the bell in the
sanctuary ringing. He told her
that she must have been dreaming,
but she stoutly denied this and
bade him listen. Sure enough they
soon beard the bell ring as if by !.

ry, however, thonght there were
burglars i'll the church, and dress
ing hastily. he took II light and
boldly entered the building.
What was his surprise to see
kneeling before the altar two small.
poorly children, their faces wet
with tears, who seemed to have
been praying. When asked what
they were doing there at such an
nneartlily hour, they replied that
their father was dying in the Epis.
cop ii Hospital, and that they had
come for the father to admister the
last sacrament.
CAME FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD.
Father Barry took the fathers
name and went in haste to the hos
pital. When he explained his or
rand, the superintendent expressed
great surprise. He said there was
a man dying in the hospital by that
name Father Barry mentioned, hut
that no Que had been sent for the
priest.
The priest was taken to the side
of cot on VIII ch lay man with IL
wan. wasted face.
"who are you?' demanded the
man in weak voice as the priest
approached him.
Il am a priest-did you not send
for me !. few moments agof"
"Yon are mistaken" the man
whispered; Il did not send for you
Il have no one to send-l am all
alone in the wtrld-I am dying"
THAT is strange" replied the
priest, "for found two children in

bell and they told me that their

Their appearance was described

CARTER STILL IN THE FIGHT.

Election returns from Nevada and
Clark county Democratic primaries
show the former to have gone for
McCollun and the latter for Carter
in the contest for the Democratic
nomination for Prosecuting Attor-
ney of this, the Eighth, Judicial dis
trict Of Arkansas.
In Nevada county the contest
was exceedingly close, the two larg-
est townships in the county, Mis-
souri, in which Prescott is Situated,
and Albany, the next largest in the
county, giving McCollum Il and l
majority, respectively. Either of
these townships, it is claimed, would
have given Garter the county.
In Clark county five out of the
fifteen townships comprising the
county give Carter clear majori-
ty. The situation may be summed
up, therefore, as follows: Carter
has two counties instructed for
him, Miller and Clark, McCollum
one, Nevada, with Hampstead, the
battlefield from now on, to be heard
from,
Well posted men predict that the
fight in Hampstead will be equally
as close as that in Nevada, and
Carter's friends claim that he will
carry it. Certain it is that the
fight will not be over until after
the Hampstead county primaries
have been held, on Saturday the
23rd of this month Some of Mr..
Carter's strongest supporters are
Hampstead county men, prominent
in the councils of their party.

A VERY LEVEL HEAD,

A self evident proof of the fact
that the leading negroes of the
South, are fully satisfied with the
condition and progress of their race
in the United States, is contained
in the following telegraphic special,
from Memphis, Tenn, giving the
views, on this much talked and
written of subject, of John M.
Langston, ex-Congressman, eX-min-
ister to Hayti and one Of the lead
ers of the colored race, In America,
who is in that city on lecture tour
of the South. On the subject of
the "Ida Wells Crusade, now so
prominent in England, and on the
condition of the negro race gener-
ally, he expressed himself in the
following hopeful terms;
am most hopeful Of the future
of the negro race in the South.
Since their emancipation the ne
groes have made greater progress
than any other emancipated race
There has been less friction, less
bad results attendant upon the

has ever known in connection with
the emancipation Of any class or
race of bondsmen 1t must always
be expected that the great social

SENATOR JONES SPEAKS.
The Arkansas Tariff Leader Explains
The Sugar Schedule to
The Senate.

Legislative news from Washing
ton, yesterday, announces that
thirteen Senators, six Democrats
and seven Republicans were in the
chamber when the Senate entered
upon the tenth week Of the tariff
debate Senator Hoar suggested
the absence of a quorum and twen-
ty minutes were spent waiting the
presence of forty three Senators
necessary to proceed with business,
A resolution providing for the pay
ment of the expenses Of the bribery
and other Investigating committees
out of the contingent fund was adj
opted,
At 1870 the tariff bill was taken
up, the sugar schedule being pend
ing. Senator Vest took the floor
and made an explanation concern
ing the controversed point in last
Saturdays debate as to the exis-
tence of a sugar trust in 1890.
Senators Aldrich and Sherman had
contended that the present trust
was not in existence, and that its
stock was not listed on the New
York stock Board Senator Vest
produced some authorities to show
that 1926, 900 shares Of the stock
of the Sugar Refining Co. were sold
in the market in New York in 1890,
which at 800 per share represent
ed $500, 100000. He had as much
right to insinuate that the Sugar
Trust dictated the sugar schedule
in the Mckinley bill as Senators on
the other side had to impugn the
action of the majority in the pres
ent Congress Mr.. Allison Rep
Ia followed Mr.. Vest with an
elaborate speech on the sugar
schedule. 1t was, he said, by far
the most important provision Of
the bill. It affords one-third of the
revenue produced by the bill
Mr. Jones Dem3 Ark.) followed
with an explanation of the sugar
schedule. He denied that the Nc
Kinley bill had given the people l
ounce of free sugar By imposing
a duty of six tenths of a cent on re-
fined sugar it-had taxed the people
$23, 600, 600, all Of which went into
the pockets of the refners. Besides
$15, 600, 600 had been paid out of the
Treasury in the form Of sugar boun-
ties, so that the total tax on the
people of the United States
amounted to 38,OO0,OOO of which
not one dollar had gone into the
Federal Treasury. The duty which
it was proposed to impose by this
bill, he said, would cost the people
about $5O,OOO,OOO, ofwhich $36, 900,
600 would 60 into the Treasury
Sc, 600, 600 to the planters in the
form of protection and 5000, 600 to
the refners The rehners would
get but one fourth Of what they
got under the present law.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-06-05
Give the Law a Chance

The force or effect Of a law can
only be determined by its results;
such results can only be obtained
by its enforcement. Therefore, if
law is poorly enforced it follows,
as a natural consequence, that the
same will be regarded as a poor
law The law without enforcement
is nullity This appears to us to
be about the condition in which the
East side Sunday law now stands,
being made to appear as a weak
law because weakly enforced. Sup
pose the presiding officer changes
this, by imposing the full penalty
provided against violators of the
Sunday law the next time he is
called upon to try cases of this class,
and thereby give the law chance
for vindication. If it then proves
inadequate, after a fair trial re
peal it and pass another.
