sCuVhNE FINED ~ ONE CASE.
No Proof That He sold Liquor ON
Suuday-Nnny License Cases.

The case of Anthony Schwane, charged
with keeping his bar-room open on sun
day. September 22d, and with threatening
TO shoot Policeman LANCE while in the
discharge of his duty. occupied the at
tcntion Of Police-Justice Crutchield for
a considerable time yesterday morning.
Commonweath's-At Smith ap-
peared for the prosecution. and ID. G.
Richardson defended the accused. After
several other witnesses had been eX-
amined .he defendant was put on the
stand, and declared that mis- bar was
not open. and that the liquor drank in
Sanger Hall was the property Of Il club
having It's headquarters there. The
charge was, therefore. dismissed. The
charge of threatening TO shoot an Cillcer
while discharging his duties WAS EeXt
taken ny. The burden of the evidence
went to show that no violence was
shown on either side. and the whole
affair was nothing more than wordy
war MIR. Richardson contended That Mr..
Schwanc had a perfect right 20 protect
his private property, and that the ci1cer
was wrong TO attempt 10 force an On
trance after ne mad been told that the
gentlemen were members OF the c!ub
that had its headquarters in that build
ms. The Justice imposed me OF SO
on the defendant FOR cursing on the street.
An appeal was taken, but after delibe-
rating on the matter Mr. Schwane was
persuaded 10 pay the fine and let the
matter rest.
Mrs. Henry II. Hopkins. who was ar
rested Wednesday night under suspicion
OF being Of unsOund mind. was also In
court. No evidence was deduced tending
to show that she was distracted, and IL
was intimated that she had been drinking.
The prisoner was discharged.
4 list of over 200 names was produced
In court being those of doctors dentists.
boarding house keepers, and others, wh'
had failed 10 pay their license for the
current year Since the notice was first
issued. fully three fourths OF the delin-
ouents had called at the .'tiice Of the
Collector and paid their aues. II was
proposed TO issue the rule FOR the re-
manning parsons, and order them TO APP
pear in court. but it was decided 10 Civ
them one more chance ny Notifying mem
a second time, and then Issuing the
rule for all who failed to get out their
licenses.
There were many trihing cases.

THE FATAL SEVENTH
HITS ALMOST WITHOUT NUMBER.
They Were Made I'm Rapid Success
sion and Yielded Many Runs-The
Local Players Given n banquet and
Presented with Pictures.

The seventh inning proved fatal TO
Richmond's hopes yesterday In her third
game with Nashville, and what
gave promise OF being a well-earned vic
tory was quickly transformed into a
Waterloo. The game, so nearly won,
was lost in this inning.
Jack Knorr, whose pluck often exceeds
his good fortune, did not do 1t. but the
foreign rooter, who comes out with Jacks
hoodoo. was very much In evidence. For
four innings Jack kept the erstwhile
sluggers from Nashville at a stand
still. and they did not assume familiarity
with his curves until the seventh. But.
oh. how they did make themselves at
home when they did become well ac-
qualnted,
PLAYED BALL TO WIN.
The Southern Champions played ball
like fends, especially "Pot-Hooks"
Myers He glided over his section of
the field like a cyclone. and lined out
hits like meteors. He caught one of
Knorrs corkscrews .on his bat in the
sixth and drove 1t straight down into the
centre-field corner. But Knorr got even,
and beat this, when, I'm the fourth. he
sent the ball over left-held fence like a
rocket.
Herman. who was so wild on Tuesday,
had recovered his grip on the sphere, and
puzzled the locals greatly at times. Yet
they raped him pretty lively now and
them.
The playing of both sides was full OF
snap and ginger until the fatal seventh,
when IL looked like the crop OF hits and
runs was inexhaustible. When the smoke
of this charge had cleared away 1t was
found that Nashville had made ten runs
The rest OF the game had little In 1t to
resurrect the buried hopes OF the loca
rooters. The details are here given foi
the benefit of such as may desire to study
fhan.

INVENTION OF THE STEAMBOAT.
The question of who invented the steam
boat is again up for discussion, this time
with a new claim. 1t is a matter of his
tory that Robert Fulton experimental on
the river Seine, in France, with small
steamboat in the year 1903, and it is fur
ther just established that Capt. Samuel
More, of Fairlee, Vermont. made trial
trip with steamboat on the Connecticut
river in 1893. But in Hening's Statutes
of Virginia we find that in 1854, nine years
earlier than More. and nineteen years le'
fore Fulton. the legislature of Virginia
passed an act granting to James Rumsey
the exclusive right for ten years of navi-
eating ''every river, creek, bay, inlet OF
harbor within this Commonwealth with
boats "upon his model'' and making the
State liable to SAID Rumsey in the sum Of
100000 if the legislature should abolish that
right within the ten years. This model was
1.-THE model invented by said James Rum
sey." The act nowhere mentions steam.
but the preamble says the invention is to
facilitate navigation against the current
of rapid rivers.' This must refer to the
steamboat of Rumsey which was tried in
the Potomac river, and would indicate that
his name stands first in point of time OF
invention.

A LOST ART.


The reproduction OF the dialect of the
Southern Negro may be set down as lost
art, or II not lost it will be when this gen-
Grafton shall have passed. Indeed, it is
only the middle aged men of this generation
who have been able to reproduce it. Not
that there ere not attempts every day to do
so-and strange to gay, more at the North
than at the South-but there Is nothing be-
ing done like the work Of those charming
story writers. A. G.. Gordon and Thomas
Nelson Page. which brought the old Vir'
ginia Negro into your very presence. The
old Virginia "Tuokahoao Negro, whose
language is the model of these two writer's,
is dying out-perhaps has already passed
away-for he was past youth when free
dom came-and there is none to succeed
him. The young writers who now attempt
the dialect have no model, and have not had
the advantage Of being brought up in the
home with the model, as was the case with
the young writer's with the house servants
Of other days. We are brougct to think of
this decadence by a remark in the Rich
mond State, that Miss Winnie Davis, in
her new book puts in the Negroes mouth
the word "Massa, word never heard in
the South, and that in her residence in the
North she must have acquired their idea
of the dialect. The State is right; no
Southern Negro ever said 'sMassa" Pit was
''Mass," with a broad a. When used as a
prefix, the Christian name of the owner
was always added, and there was an affec-
tionate but respectful familiarity about its
sound that will never be reproduced again.
The memory of it can be revived by few,
certainly not by the younger writer's OF
this day.

Jno w. Blackburn Of Shendun former
Steward at the Staunton State Hospital,
and who made such a SUI cess as Receiver
for Shendun). and Capt. Ben. G. Patter-
son of Harrisonburg, (Gov. O'Ferrall s
former law partner), for the House of Del

nomination Oh the first ballot.
Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson has called

The Rep Pro Pop combine of Roanoke
nominated free silver editor for the Sen

Roanoke grabbing the whole thing. The
free silver candidate made the Republicans
shy, and it is said that straight Republi-

Eugene Withers of Danville, is the
youngest man ever nominated for the
State Senate by Pittsylvania county. He
and Geo. w. Koiner of Augusta, are the
only two men whose names became known

PROJECTS THAT SHOULD BE
STOPPED.

A business man having his financial at
fairs in the same position as those Of tn
Commonwealth of Virginia, would Sc
about devising means of reducing expenses
rather an ways in which these expenses
would be increased.
The receipts of the State from real an(
personal property have been reduced by thu
lust finished assessment $4,000 annually
for the next five years.
The criminal charges of the State are in
creasing at the rate of $50, 900 year.
The State pensions are increasing at the
rate of $4,000 year.
The expenditures Of the State have SO fal
outrun the receipts that the cash balance
in the treasury has fallen from 81, 1O2 ,OO(
in 1892, 20 1851 ,655 in 1888, and to $l32 ,23j
in 1894.
In the face of this financial exhibit, there
aretwo propositions which will come before
the next legislature.
One is to build Il separate State School
for the Blind, at a cost. let us say, OF from
$50, 900 to 100000. These blind pupils are
already in good State School, comfortably
housed, clothed and fed, and we'll taught.
Another proposition is to build another
ASYLUM into which the harmless insane may
he gathered to themselves, at cost of from
$50 600 to 100000, and the additional an
nual tax Of SIS 900 to $4,000 year for /;
new staff of doctors and attendants. These
harmless insane are already comfortably
cared for in our insane hospitals. we'll hous
ed. clothed and fed, and attended to. And
in addition, the highest authorities on the
subject regard this separation as hurtinl to
those separated. This last point we have
already discussed. We write now to cal
attention to these prospective calls on the
Virginia Treasury and the money of oul
tax payers. Both should be put an end tc
without further debate.

MONEY.FOR WORKING ROADS PAYS
BETTER.

: AgO2A@>eS
BETTER.
We have very little apprehension that
the people of Virginia will vote for the
constitutional amendment (which, if the
coming legislature SO order it, will be sub
mttted to them in 1897 for going back to
the old system of compulsory labor on the
public roads. 1t is thing OF the past
and too expensive system to be repeated.
1t means paying out money year after year
for roads, and getting no roads. The U. S.
Office of Road Inquiry sent out to twenty
five townships in New York that had
abandoned the compulsory system and
adopted the paid system, official inquiries
as to how the system they had adopted
worked ? In that State each township has
a right to adopt either system. paid or COM
pulsory, that it prefers. OF the twenty
five townships all but one reported that the
change had worked well. From the reports
which The government prints, we get many
expressions OF The value Ut the paid ovtl
the old system, such as:
"Under the OLD system in some cases il
is simply question of putting in the allot
ed time, without any view OF improving
the road" 1--WE have better roads becaus,
they are worked up in proper season"; I'll
is far the best method; "Under the new
system we can get better roads properly
managed; 1--WE receive more for the
money raised, in this way"; "Not only
do We have better roads, but ! think it is a
much cheaper way"; 1.-The money system
is by far the very best SYSTEM; "We
have very much better roads than under
the OLD system Of working Them: "The
tax is so low no one feels it''; 1.-THE ioads
are much better in every way" And that
is the tenor Of the answers-more work,
better roads, and less money expended. In
one township vote was taken On return
ing to the old compulsory labor system, and
the return was defeated by large
majority. The same feeling, we believe,
will b. found to exist in Virginia. And
as proof of it we see that in Goachland,
which, like all other Virginia counties.
has had experience Of both systems,
the Democratic nominating convention
last week inserted in its platform opposi-
tion to the adoption Of the proposed amend
ment (which would again inauguratR the
unjust aad inefficient method of working
the roads by Involuntary labor"

A CHANGE FROM FREE SILVER.

Senator Mills of Texas, who was an ad
vocate of free silver coinage, has seen his
mistake and is out in letter explaining
his change. He abandons his position OF
the ground that most men who have care
fully studied both sides of the subject do,
and that is that while free silver
is right in itself it is impos-
sible for the United States to maintain
it without the help of other nations.
1t is to be remarked that the majority OF
advocates of what is called sound money
have been at first favorable to free silver
and have only altered their position after
seeing the impossibility of our carrying it
without aid. The fact that as soon as the
free coinage of both metals is begun H.
this country, the gold now in use will dis
appear, leaving US in the midst of greater
and more enduring panic than that from
which the country is just emerging, ought
to cause every man to pause. AS Texas is
set down, for the present at least, as a sill
yer State, and as Mr.. Mills political futur.
lies there, we hardly think his motives will
be denounced by the free silver men after
their usual vehement style.
