In Wall Street.

New York, July 22.-The feature of the trading at the Stock Exchange today was M the movement to cover short contracts: This was most pronounced in the cases of the Changers. The total transactions were 240,OO4 shares, and of this Burlington and Quincy figured for 40,700 shares, Rock Island for 22,300 and St. Paul for 2190O. The in- crease in business in these stocks was due entirely to the efforts of the. shorts to cover. and their purchases led to sharp rises; Bur lington and Quincy rose per cent to SS5s; SS5s; 4O5s.' The brilliant outlook for spring wheat and corn alarmed the short sellers of ten days ago; and the rise can be safely. attrib- uted to the efforts of this contingent to get back their contracts

Age-Herald Office.

MOnuay Night July ZE. The week began with much brighter pros- poets than the one just passed, and whole salers and brokers on Morris avenue were in decidedly better spirits. The last three days of last week were, to certain extent, disappointing, and calculated to put spirit of blueness in the breasts of those most interested. Not so,s however, today, as everything opened bright and with promise of better things. The market showed up in fine shape with sugar on the upward, and an advance of points for granulated. Flour continues easy with no change, corn, meal, bran and chops tending downward.
 Packers products remain firm at the ad- vance of last Saturday.
 Peaches are much scarcer today than the latter part of the preceding week, while grapes are more plentiful and at decline. Melons, though nearing the end Of the sea son. are firm and find good demand. Canta- loupes are scarce while not in great de- mand. In poultry and eggs the tendency contin- ues upward, the former being yet scarce, though with plenty of notices of shipments for tomorrow. Eggs jumped 1ac, and are in good demand at the advance
 Cotton seed meal took jump, though hulls are still hanging at the old quotations. Hay is unmoved
 In live stock circles the demand for choice cattle continues good, while off stock finds slow sale.

A Good Thing and Nothing to Pay.

Just see what Dr. Greene offers to
do for all weak and suffering people,
He is the most successful living special
ist in curing nervous and chronic dis
eases. His unparalleled offer to con-
suit with anyone, free of charge, by
letter correspondence, is doing wonder
full good. If you have any complaint
which you do net thoroughly under
stand, and which you would like cured,
write the Doctor letter stating Just
how you feel and what symptoms
trouble you. He will answer it, giving
complete description of your case,
explaining the meaning of every symp-
tom, and telling how you can surely
get we'll and strong. He gives most
careful attention to each letter, and
explains your case so thoroughly that
you understand exactly what ails you.
All this costs you nothing, you have
no doctors fees to pay, and you don't
have to leave your home The Doctor
makes a speciality of treating patients
through letter correspondence, and
they nearly always get well. He is
the discoverer of that wonderful medi-
cine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Write to him at his
office, 30 West 14th St., New York City,
and you will undoubtedly be made
strong and well,

Dangerous JIngOiSm.

describes the school of jingoes founded
by Mr.. Blaine, and its ferocious doe.

Its conscious advocates are, per-
haps, few, but there is reason to fear
that its dupes are many, and neither
its advocates nor it's dupes are exclu-
sively confined to one party. But, I'M
less the glories of our past history are
to be discarded, it is not American di-
plomacy. 1t is meddlesome and aggres-
sive; it is envious and suspicious; it is
covetous and not very scrupulous; it
exemplifies the evil of power without
self-control, and of susceptibility to
insult without due proportion of self
respect Its spirit is that of conquest:
its first reason, as we'll as it's last, is
force. 1t overthrows by force queen
in Hawaii in the name of liberty and
annexation and maintains by force d
king in Samoa in the name of indepen-
dence and autonomy. ii this be Re-

to disgrace and disaster. 1t cannot
but be deplored, therefore, that parti-

ImnrAYa Your Legislation.

We would ask our readers to read
and consider the views expressed in
the communication entitled-"Im-
prove your legislation" 1t shows that
the reforms the people desire can be
accomplished without the expense of a
State convention to amend the consti-
tuition.
The people do not want to spend
100000 or $3.50, 900 for convention to
amend the constitution when the
revenues of the State are much less
than it's expenses, and when they can
get the reforms they want without
such expenditure.
They can also get the constitution
amended, if they desire it, in cheaper
and better way than by convention
in the way provided by the constitu-
ton itself, as we have heretofore indi-
Gated To hold convention to tear to
pieces the whole constitution would
not only be costly, but probably disas-
trous, for no man can tell what would
be its character. That those who want
to be members of that body should de-
sire it, is quite natural, but the people
who have 'to pay the piper,n Go not
want it. When they can get what
they want in a better, cheaper, and
safer way, they are not going to ask
for a convention.

Effect of the Decision.

1t is estimated that the decision of
the U. S. Supreme Court in declaring
part of the Federal Income Tax law
unconstitutional, and hence null and
void, will have the effect of reducing
the revenues from that source about
one-half, and that the amount it will
yield, will probably be about $15,0O0,-
600.
In reference to those parts of the
law which stand, the court was equal
ly divided, and hence the decision of
the court below, which was favorable
to the law, was not reversed as to those
parts of the law on which the Supreme
Court was equally divided. The part
decided against is noted elsewhere.

A Murder Mystery Cleared Up.
The Body of Mary Martin Bqtchered by
CAESAR Williams.

The Body of Mary Martin Bptchered by
CAESAR Williams.
New York, April a.-The mystery of
the murdered negro woman found on
Sixth avenue is entirely clearly up. The
woman's name Was Mary Martin and
the murderer is William Caesar. She
abandoned her husband and had been
living with Cesar for several months.
In quarrel Friday night he killed her
by choking. He left her lying on the
floor and went to bed in the next room
and slept soundly. Next day he was
at his usual work all day as a porter in
hat store. At night he borrowed a
cleaver from a butcher, cut the wo
mans legs off, made the remains up in
to convenient bundle (she weighed
only 100 pounds) and took them to a
sixth avenue car with the intention of
carrying them to the river. The car
he rode on went no further than Waiver
ly Place. He then took up his bundle
and, while considering what to do next
he rested it on the railing ip front of
the New York Bank Note Company's
building. Either he did not hold it
fast or was for it anxious to fall any
where. At any rate, it over balanced,
according to the story of the detectives,
and fall into the space between the
railing and the building. Caesar dared
not attract attention by climbing after
it, SO he walked away from the spot,
returning home. This was at 8 o'clock
Saturday evening. The bundle was
not noticed until 9 next morning. Ac-
quaintances of the woman who knew
of her quarrel with Caesar, suspected
what had happened when the discov-
cry of the body was made public, iden-
titled the remains at the morgue, and
the rest was easy enough. After his
arrest CBsar told the whole story.

METHOD IN HIS MADNESS We may
call Mr.. Frye's ideas wild and call him
a wild man for INDUCING in such ut
terances. But it is plain that there is
method in his madness. The republi-
can party is avowedly the party of a
protectionist tariff and high taxes. 1t
is only by increasing the expenditures
of the government, by running the
government into new and unnecessary
expenses, that an excuse for an increase
of duties and of taxes can be found.
Hence the proposition to annex Hawaii,
seize everything and anything that we
think might be useful to us, provoke a
war with Spain and seize Cuba, agitate
for the annexation of Canada, at the
risk of war with England, or, if the old
lion won't fight for Canada, make him
fight by selling Bermuda and Jamaica.
Verify; with such a programme. the
party of moral ideas" promises, If op-
portunity is offered, to become a party
of most detestahle practices.-BaHi-

Death of CAPT. J. H. H. Figgatt

Capt. j. H. H. Figgatt, of Fincastle,
died at his home in that place last
Saturday morning, April 9th, after an
illness of several weeks. He was a
prominent lawyer and President of the
Bank of Fincastle.
A special to the Baltimore Sun says
Captain Flggatt had been a leader in
the Methodist Church for quite num-
Der of years, and was held in high es.
TEEN by the Baltimore Conference
He was quite prominent in politics,
having represented his county in the
House of Delegates frequently, and
was favorably spoken of for Governor
by his party in several conventions
He leaves a wife, but no children
Captain Figgatt entered the Confede-
rate army as private, was promoted
to be sergeant-major of the Twelfth
Virginia Cavalry, and afterward was
made captain and placed in command
of one of the companies of the Twelfth
Regiment. He was conspicuous for
courage and dash. and led many of the
charges which gave that regiment
renown for its exploits.

AvoW Your Principles.

All persons, and more particularly
candidates for important offices, should
avow their principles and opinions with
frankness and independence. This is
not only right, but it is also polite, for
the people admire boldness, frankness,
and independence. If they have de-
cided opinions, they should expresses
them, and if they have not, from want
of a proper understanding of any par
ticular question, they should acknowl-
edge the fact. AS the Fredericksburg
Star says, lodging the financial ques-
ton or coquetting with the advocates
of all the various monetary beliefs is
unworthy of any man who desires to
be President of the United States.
There saems to be much coquetting on
the part of several Presidential aspir-
ants with those representing different
shades of financial schemes.
This, however, is no more inconsis-
tent than the proposed combination OF
all the inharmonlous elements in Vir-
GINA that are not fighting under the
banner of Democracy.
The masses want men who have
clearly defined views and are not afraid
to express them. A party that sacri-
fees principles simply to encompass
the defeat of some other party cannot
receive the support of intelligent, hon
est freemen.
Politicians and political parties, no
matter by what name called, whether
Democratic, Populist, Republican or
Prohibition, must stand manfully by
their principles and make no unholy
alliances or endeavor to ride into power
by deception, if they would command
the respect of their fellow men.

" ar Averted.

The threatened war between Mexico
and Guatemala has been averted,
their difficulties having been settled
by mutual agreement. This is much
better than to have gone to numbering
each other. All difficulties should be
settled without war-it is better for
both parties to a dispute Difficulties
between nations should be settled by
arbitration or some other peaceful
mode. It is generally the case that
those whose voices are loudest for war
on slight pretexts, are the last to take
part in it where the cannons roar and
the muskets flash. The dog that barks
loudest, is not the one that is most
likely to bite,
