Sugar Now Going Up and Nothing
Can Stop It.
Special TO The News.

NEW YORK, May s.-The buying Of c.
B. & O. continues TO be of the very best
description. There is every reason to be-
lieve that this stock will, from this on, re-
ceive most tangible support from those
interests that never go in for turn of
or per cent, but, having convinced
themselves that change for the better
Is assured, will bull the stock
in anticipation OF that prosperity which
will be in evidence in the course OF very
few months. The G. b. q O., as every
body knows, has wonderful recupera-
tive powers. 1t is true that
in hard times it loses money
rapidly, but in comparatively prosper
Gus days it makes earnings because OF the
diversified freights it handles quicker
than any other railroad in the country.
The board of management is very con-
servative.
The directors feel that the company Is
warranted in maintaining the per cent
rate of dividends and that the earnings
for the year will vindicate the action of
the board.
A few years ago c. b. & @. was selling at
the price that it Is now quoted at and in
the course of a few months, owing to the
brighter prospects that were eventually
justified by the enormous crop of
corn, 1000, 900 bushels, the stock
advanced rapidly from so to 119. Divi-
dends that had been upon per cent.
basis were increased to a 6 per cent. rate.
L. itaIr fn itcalf
Those who have been in conference
recently with the executive officers at
Boston say that the most confident feel
ing prevails and that &. B. & Q. will be to
the market of the immediate future what
st. Paul was to the speculation of the
very recent past.
Sugar is not through with its rise yet.
An effort is being made eto bring about a
reaction in the stock, but it is scarcely
likely to meet with overwhelming sue
cess. Sugar at 125 would return
about 10 per cent. on the investment, ex-
elusive of the prospect of an extra divi-
dend this year, so there is wide margin
for profit on the long side of this partic-
ular speciality.
The Industrials are showing good re-
turns and hints are heard Of an extrs
dividend on Sugar. Western Union is
strong on reports that the Baltimore &
Ohio holdings would not be sold under
lOO
In London, L. & N. and Nj. p. are down
y; others from Il to per cent.
Governor A!tgeld did not consider any
bills yesterday, but his action is ex-
pected today.

terday three points. 1t has been neg lected
right along and it is said to be booked for

The Supreme Court of Appeals.

DECISIONS OF CASES FROM THIS JUDICIAL
CIRCUIT.
The Supreme Court OF Appeals of Virgin.
ia handed down the following opinions at
Richmond last Thursday:
Robert M. Burke VS.. Alice E. Sh aver,
from the Circuit Court OF Rockingham.
Opinion by Judge Cardwell.
The action was for breach of promise OF
marriage, the declaration alleging, in ag-
gravation of damages, betrayal. The jury
gave verdict for 81 600. The first assign.
ment Of error is to the refusal of the trial
court to give certain Instructions.
The Court of Appeals holds that the in
strnctions were proper, and should have
been given. ga contract for marriage .
says the court, sis the mutual agreement
of a man and woman to marry each 9th
er. and must satisfy the legal requirements
as to parties, consideration, etc.. as othel
contracts must. An agreement is void
when the consideration is immortality, nc
matter what other considerations may
unite, OF how skilfulIy the object illegal
might be clothed"

Changes Asked for by Court Clerks.

The Association of Clerks of Virginia
Courts in session at Richmond, last week,
left behind them when they adjourned, a
committee of three to urge upon the legis-
laturs the repeal of the act Of March 5,
1894, relating to fees of clerks, and ''adopt
some means for securing the revenue re-
ceived by the clerks, more reasonable and
proper than the act we ask to be repealed. ,;
They further ask the legislature to $50
change the law, that witnesses in misde-
meanor cases may receive their attendance
without waiting for the return of the writ
of fire facias, mo effects,'' where there is a
conviction of the accused, as is provided
in section 1882. Code of 1887, thus putting
them upon the same footing as witnesses
in felony cases.
They also ask that each clerk Of court
be furnished by the State with copy of

A Happy Voyage.

A pretty love story comes across the
Pacific. Miss Du Bose, daughter of
Rev. MI. Du Bose, a Presbyterian mission
airy in China, graduated last Spring at the
Augusta Female Seminary, and prepared
to cross the Pacific to dedicate her life to
missionary work with her father. Rev. A.
M. Fraser, pastor of the First Presbyteri-
an church here, knew of young minister
who was going to China on the same er-
rand, and going on the same ship with Miss
Du Bose. So he sent the young minister a
letter of introduction to her and commend
ed her to his care. 1t is a long voyage
from San Francisco to Hong Kong. and it
seems to have been happy one, for the
news comes that the two young missiona-
ries are to be married.

fore leaving the hall very pretty scene oc-
CURED. The children of the Masonic
Home-about twenty in number-the pro
teges of the fraternity of this state, were
brought into the lodge-room, and all look
ing as happy and contented as possible,
were stationed in the east beside the Ora nd
Master. They were greeted with resound-
ing cheers. One Of the little girls, a
daughter of worthy deceased brother, was
placed on table and sang very sweetly an
orphan S song, the words of which Nigh t
have been composed for her, so appropriate
were they. The pathetic solo brought tears
to the eyes of many of the delegates. AS
soon as the last note died away, one of the
craft arose and offered motion that a col
lection be taken in order to raise fund
with which to procure Christmas presents
for the little ones. The baskets we're
passed around and SLY and some cents

" C0njuring.'

The negroes have been free for nearly
thirty years, but the superstitions about
"conjuring' not only cling to the old gen
GRAFTON, but are prevalent with their chill
dren. Two young black fellows, sons of
CLANCY, the cook at Mr.. Fl. d. Peck 8, are
now fugitives from justice on the charge
of assaulting an aged colored man named
Lee. on the ground that their old mother
was suffering from ''conjuring" and that
Lee was the conjurer. They are both jail
birds. a punishment they don't mind as
long as they don't have to work, and it
looks as if the unpopular whipping post
would be the best and only medicine to
work these ancient ideas out of their
modern heads.

CHURCHvILLE, Dec 9.-We are having

farmers in completing their corn shocking
and handling their fodder. The most OF
the farmers have got their corn crop housed
and not much more of the crop to get in.
This is theseason for spare-rib, chine and
sausage. The last few frosty mornings
and cool days were very fatal to the porker,

number Of them. But. judge, thus it will
be as long as there are men and hogs, and
that will be until the end. If there should
be future for the brute, what host OF
brute spirits we may have to face. How
they may harrass man for his cruelty, and
perhaps he may wish he had been more
merciful, even if his necessities required
him to kill and eat. We will leave the hog
to what seems to be his fate-bacon him
and eat him next summer.
