Among the Members Are Miny We'll Known
Men
James Matte cid is the chief organizer OF
the new local gun club that hereafter will
be a power in that line or sport. Already
it has over fifty members in good stand
ing, and the list is constantly being aug
mented by the addition Of the names of
the best known sporting men in the city
and county. The club will have no hunt
ing preserves of its own, but its purpose
is to uphold the game Jaws and protsct
the game in every manner within it's
power
The club grounds ara at the residence
OF Fred Hoist, corner OF Eighth and
Hoover streets. They already possess
five sets of the latest improved traps, for
both blue rocks and live birds. and this
equipment Is being added to as the in
creasing mem bership calls for more ma
terial. The monthly shoots of the club
are of sufficient Importance to call out all
the best shots among the members, and
some rafting contests may be expected
whom the cracks get down to work.
= The shoots will be held every month at
the club grounds the second Sunday
in each month. The first club shoot will
be little but preparatory event, to ena-
bic the members to get into shape for the
first semi-annual tournament. that takes
place on the 21st and ODD of Septem ber,
of which more will be said later. Among
the events there will be cham pionship p
shoot at fifty birds, open to all shooters of
Southern California. This will be one of
the finest events of tie kind that has
taken place here fo- some time.
The new club starts out in the most
favorable manner, and on its list of mem
bers there are the names of men in all
paths of life who meet on the common
ground of sport. The president of the
club is w. +. Nordholt snd the ever-pop-
ular Ed B. Tufts is the secretary. and
the membership is of men equally well

Chamber of Commerce Notes

j. S. G. Huber of Hesperia has sent
some applss to the chamber of commerce
exhibit which are noteworthy both indi-
vdually and collectively. An even hun
dred apples were picked from tree hav
ing trunk three inches in diameter at
the largest place and not one of the hun
dred apples was smaller than the trunk
of the tree on which it grew, the largest
being exactly thirteen inches in circum-
ference.
The various exhibits taken from the
local exhibit to be shown at Atlanta have
been replaced or have had others substi-
tuted so that the chamber exhibit seems
not to suffer by reason of depletion.

CLUNE A FREE MAN
Both Charges Against Him Dismissed by
Judge Morrison

When the examination of W. H. Clune,
upon a charge of assault to commit muir
der, was called in Justice Morrison S
court yesterday at 10:30. the attorney for
the defense, Johnstone Jones, moved that
the case be dismissed. In support of mis-
motion Mr.. Jones reviewed the evidence
given during the trial. claiming there
was not sufficient grounds to hold the
priaoner.
Deputy District Attorney James assent
ed to the dismissal. stating during the
course OF his remarks that owing to the
amount of perjury that had been com
mitted it would be mpossiible to secure a
conviction in the case.
The he case of assault with deadly
weapon was also dismissed and the de-
fendant discharged.

rIrE COUNTRY KECUPEssa.
TING.

Tho darkest hour precedea the
morning, is an old saying, and at
preent, while the condition of the
country appears darker than ut any
period in the history OF the past
three years of financial gloom, rays
of light are cleaning from behind
the clouds, indicating brighter
times. This is illustrated in the
comparative statements of failures
for January. 1895 and 1894, the diff
ference being an encouraging evi
dence of the improved condition of
business this year. The amount
Involved for liabilities this year for
january, is reported ut SO, 103,-
292, while for January 1894, it was
$50, S43, OPS. and the difference is
greatest in the manufacturing dis
triots where it was prophesied, as
the Chattanooga Times points out,
by the Republican high tariff priests
that calamity wonld surely follow in
the wake OF the new tariff law.
Insolvent manufacturing concerns
for January, 1895, amounted to only
So, 728,5S7, while for January, 1894,
they amounted to Sl1, $50, 7l5, or q
falling off in failures of manufactur
ing concerns of GS per cent. When
1t Is considered that 1891 showed n
decrease of one-half of failures over
1898, the beginning of 1895 may be
taken as very fair basis OF argu.
ment that the country has reache ed
the lowest notch of depression and
is rapidly recuperating toward full
return OF confidence and business
activity. The daylight of returning
prosperity is dawning.

NORFOLk'S JUBILEE YEAR.

NORFOLK, Va, February 10 1se5


NORFOLK. Va, February Is. 1895.
Editor Of tie Jirginian;
Referring to the views expressed
IN recent issues of The VIRaINIAN.
in regard to the practicability of
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary
of the CITY of Nolfalk, desire to
say that the Idea appears to be well
received as feasible and expedient
undertaking. Norfolk has been IA
vorably commented upon by the
press of the country and we should
commence without delay to present
attractlons and Inducements to REQ
pie to come here.
The time is opportune for dem
onstration of some kind. it occurs
to my mind that splendid results
would accrue to the city by having
large number of strangers comipo
here and acquaint themselves WITH
Norfolk's situation and advantages
alter 1T has been so thoroughly ad
tlsed by the press. If some of orr
influential citizens would inauourate
a movement to have rendezvous of
steam and sailing yachts and races
III hampton Roads, for period of
two weeks in July next, it would. no
doubt, prove great success. Nor.
ioik's public spirited citizens would
subscribe literally TO this movement
aud the press of the entire country
would give it aid and ercouraoe.

OF this character would bring thous-
would spend large amount of
money IN the city, and it would GER
tainly make the times better. 1t is
certainly very important ut this
particular epoch of Norfolk history,
which has been SO much written
about throughout the country, that
we should exert ourselves to the
utternost to push the city ahead.
The Naval Rendezvous two years
ago did Norfolk vast amount of
good. The writer of thls communi.
cation was in Columbus, Ohio. i'll
April last, and while conversing with
an Ohioan III that city ] mentioned
the fact that was from Norfolk.
he said ".Sir, you nrc from the
Invest city OF its size TINT | have ever
visited, and | have been all over the
Union" Continuing, ho said: 81
was IN your city during the Naval
Rendezvous. and the trade parade L
witnessed there was the best affair
of the kind | ever saw, and it would
have been credit to city of "a
quarter Of u million OF inhabltants.' >;
| ho y
* 90. III the parade was the most
artistic and appropriate affair that
could be imagined, and the display
made by the Wrenn Brothers of
their three different branches of
| business would never pass out of his
recollection.
Norfolk made good impression
| upon visitors or that occasion, aud
1t was one of the factors which
added materially in advancing our
city, If we would have our pOpula-
| ton to continue to increase, and
made what it should be, we must
continue TO induce strangers to
| come here. This Is an nuspIcious
year to advance the material inter
est OF Norfolk, and every effort
which has that purpose IN view
should be met with hearty en-.
couragement. / have understood
! that the Business Mems Association
are cons dering the building of a
factory for tho manufacturing of
cotton goods. If each of the Lam
bert Point companies were to
build factory on their property,
1t would pay. In addition, IT
would be the means OF dlsposlng of
| their building lots, and that
section, which is adapted Tor facto
rles, would take an impetus in build
ing generally. Berkeley, after au-
nexatlon, would also be desirable
section Tor the location of factories.
Let me suppose. for instance, that 1t
was fact, that four or i've factories
were to be erected in Norfolk. the
work on all of them to be commenced
III the spring, what would be tho
result? After this news wont abroad
1t would he said that the Norfolk
people have faith in the devotion
ment OF their city, and this fact
would be encouragement for others
to come here and build factories
also, and instead of four or five fac.
tories being started there would
likely be eight or ten of them. Nor
folk people should set an example of
their faith i'll this city by their
work.
Norfolk will soon feel the need of
another large first class hotel. These
views are promted by the desire
that we may see III the near future
efforts made In every direction to
make Norfolk what it should be,
and will be-a city of large imuor
lance.
In conclusion, let US agitate the
getting up of the rendezvous re.
ierred to or something better. Who
Will be the one TO make the move?

ssEE SoiaouL. BOOK QUESTION

HE N1RGISIAN has received from
Gov. O'Ferrall and Attorney Gen.
eral Scott, pamphlet on the school
book question, which presents a re-
suit OF the examination to ascertain
whether the patrons of the Virg inia
schools were paying more for books
than the patrons of the public schools
III other States. The examination
was made in keeping with their
promise to the people of Virginia in
their publication OF December 81,
1874. The examination appears to
have been very thorough. The
price of every book used in Virginia
and adopted in other States aud
Territories is given, and in the re-
spective columns the price in other
States or Territories in which the
book used appears upon the list.
The result of the investigation is
summed up by the assertion on the
part of the Governor and the Attor
General, that "the facts demon
strate that it is not true that Viz,
ginia has been outrageously defraud-
ed" and that in the investigation
they "have found no discrimination
against Virginia. The paper is in
excellent temper. There is simple
presentation of facts and dignified
denial of the charges.
