He fell into. the canal with a lcud

canal unable to move or utter a cry.
The little fellow was sinking for the

danger. She leaned over and grasped the
boy by the hair. Then she succeeded in
pulling him ashore more dead than alive.
Aid arrived and the child was resusci-

on this subject. He raves about it con-
stantly. and one utterance is crazier

most notable of all for absolutely reck-
less stupidity and ignorance. Here is a
trife. but it shows the character of the

3. 1t was not the Boards meeting day.

5. 1t never thought of doing so.

ELoPEMENT.-Young Farmer Utter
back, of Haymarket, and Edith Robin
son, who lives with her parents on the
farm adjoining that of Utterback,
spent the best part of yesterday in an
unsuccessful attempt to become man
and wife. Miss Robinson was taken
into custody last night in Washington
as a fugitive from her parents, and
while she spent the night under the
protection of the matron of station No.
i, Utterback walked the floor of his
room at the Raleigh. The couple
eloped from Haymarket yesterday af-
ternoon, drove to Manassas, took the s
D. m. northbound train out of that
town, reached Washington about 10 p.
m. and were apprehended in response
to telegram from the young lady's
father. Miss Robinson lacks only
three months of her majority, and says
that if her father, who reached Wash
ington to-day, stands firm in his
objection to the marriage, he will
succeed in delaying the ceremony just
that number of days which her age
lacks of twenty. one years. Utterback
is resolute in his determination to mar
ry the young lady, and showed the
tenderest solicitude for her when she
was in the tolls of the law. They have
been engaged for long time, but about
year ago farmer Robinson, for reasons
unexplained, became averse to the at
tentions which Ernest paid to Edith.
Yesterday Miss Edith attended church
at Thoroughfare and dropped note to
her lover. After the service they
drove to Manassas. The father had
heard of the elopement of Edith and
telegraphed to Manassas, where the
pair were arrested, but released upon
the explanation that the young lady is
twenty years and nine months old.
They then took the train for Washing
ton, where they we're arrested.

There is much talk in quiet way

considerable feeling will be displayed.
It is cropping out already. Members
from the black belt will be round

there is strong demand from demo-
Gratis representing other sections of the

A BIG FAILURE

i Mr.. James B. Pace, the we'll known
banker aud capitalist, of Richmond,
made an assignment on Saturday even
ing. The deed in which Mrs. Pace
unites, conveys all of his real and per-
sonal property, including stocks snd
bonds, to Judge George L. Christian
and Mr.. j. ]. Montague, as trustees,
for the benefit of his creditors. Mr..
Pace was president of the Planters
National Bank, the Virginia Guarantee
Company, and the Columbian Building
and Loan Company, and was interested
in various manufacturing and business
concerns in Richmond and Danville.
His liabilities amount to nearly one
million dollars.
1t is stated that his visible assets
amount to one million and eight hun
bred thousand. He has been large
operator in stocks, and wasknown as a
bold Spectator.
He has been in bad health for several
months and his failure is largely attri-
buted to that fact, as when in health
he was very nervy fnancier. The
direct cause of the failure is inability OF
friends, whose paper he held, to meet
| their obligations. He has, too, been
unfortunate in speculation in cotton.
The Planters Bank, of which he is
president, was his creditor for $3.50, 600,
but it is secured by special deed COW
ering real estate valued at $3.50, 600.
Mr.. Pace resigned the presidency

everything except his. household effects
Among the creditors of the third class

Mr.. Pace resigned as president of the
bank and as director. Mr.. ]. Mon

Mr.. T. G. Williams in the latter. The
bank is made absolutely secure. Mr.
Pace was looked upon as one of the

MONDAY EVENING. DEC. Is. 1896.

AN INDUSTRIOUS white workman in
New York, whose family are in great
need of the wages of his labor, has been
compelled, by their necessities, to go be-
fore the grand jury of that city and
ask for protection from the walking
delegates of labor organizations. 1t
certainly seems that if any one thing
could be more free in free country
than another, it would be labor-the
natural right of man to work for him
self and for those dependent upon him
for support. But the walking delegates
evidently don't entertain any such idea.
In a land of liberty, the right OF man
to work should be even less questioned
than is his right to be idle, and it is alb
surd to call country free, in which
that right is denied.

The return of the President to Wash

from all sources will be $431 ,907 ,407,
and the expenditures for the same
period S44S ,907, 407, leaving deficit of
ST., 100000. Upon the basis of existing

an estimated surplus of $6,9OS, 926. sS
The Secretary makes no recommends
ton for increasing the revenues of the
government. He says the situation
does not require any legislation for
raising additional revenue by taxation
at this time. He says he feels sure
that careful examination will disclose
many sources of expenditure which
might be greatly reduced or entirely
abolished. He proposes the retirement
of the greenbacks and the extension:o
the national bank system as indicated
in the Presidents message. As tem-
porary remedy for existing conditions
he suggests that authorization be given
