HAMPDEN-SIDNEY.
In Instructive Discourse-The
Death of Young Hall.

UAMPDEN- SIDNEY. VA, November
9.-(special)- II. T. Graham, OF the
Presbyterian Mission South, in Japan,
preached an interesting and instructive
discourse yesterday morning in college
church on the progress OF the Gospel in
Japan. Mr.. Graham is the son of Rev.
J. r. Graham, ID. D., Of Winchester.
and great-grandson Of Judge II. 81.
George Tucker. He and his two brothers,
Rev. A. T. Graham, pastor of the church
at Davidson College, n. c., and Rev. j.
n. Graham, Jr., a missionary in China,
are honored graduates of Hampden-Sid-
nev College and Union Theological Semi
nary. and are excellent and useful minis
tiers OF the Gospel.
MIR. Graham gave a hopeful view OF the
work In Japan, but admitted the presence
of many obstacles and opposing In
fuences. The first Christian church was
organized i'm Yokohama in 1872 with eleven
members. There are now several hundred
churches with 1000 members. The Budd-
hist and Shintoo religions have
taken on fresh life since the introduction
of Christianity and have adopted modern
evangelistlc methods for the propagation
and maintenance of their faith. The
Buddhists have numerous religious news
similar TO the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION. and have regular meetings Tor
preaching, etc. Altogether, the ground is
warmly contested.
The death OF Mr.. j. A. Hall was sur
prise and grief 10 the community All
college exercises were suspended for the
day. His remains were buried in Peters
burg In a plot of ground I'm the old Blafi-
ford Cemetery, owned by his grandfather,
the late Mr.. James Lynch, so that while

classmates were his pall-bearers, two OF

last resting place. another-Mr. r. NJ.

needed arrangements. Two Of the semi

companied his brother, Mr.. Joseph Hall

childhood. and II was on this account
that his mother removed from Texas TO
Virginia for his education. During his
three years residence here he had en-
loved excellent health. and had taken a
fine position In his classes. He was stricken
suddenly with peritonitis. which was IN
yielding 10 treatment and speedily
brought the end. This is the fourth death
from disease OF q college student ut this
place In the i2i years of It's history.

RALEIGH. N. c.. November 9.-(spe-
cial)--At Durham Democratic State
Chairman Manly, on his return home
from Raleigh. was given an ovation
Saturday afternoon. About 1000 Demo
Gratis, headed by Julian S. Carr, met
him He made short speech during the
stop of the train. and in conclusion said
the Democrats would have carried the
state. but for corrupt negroes who voted
twice.
The fact Is pretty well proved that
there was more purchasing Of votes by
Republicans than ever before. The allie
cation is made that Palmer and Buckner
bought votes. There Is certainly a great
deal of feeling between the Palmer and
Buckner people and the Democratic party,
and some Of the latter say the Boilers
who voted for Mckinley las most Of them
did are no longer Democrats.
There is now a great deal OF talk about
the United States Senator who will sue
coed Pritchard. Republicans are quite
willing. they say. TO offer odds that
Pritchard Will succeed himself.
THE SENATORSHlP.
The name Of w. A. Guthrie has been
mentioned in connection with une sena-
torshlp. but the Populist County-Chair-
man Of Durham says the Populists can
not forgive Guthrie for his attack on the
party's machine" State Senator-elect
Earnhardt says the Populists oppose
Ohio Wilson for senator. and that he
doesn't think they will support Pritchard.
The successful candidates are swearing
to their expenses incurred during the
campaign. This is under the new law.
which is modelled upon the New YORK
law.
The new State administration will have
to stand one of the biggest PUSHES for
office ever known in North Carolina.
HAS OLD BONDS.
James T. Smith, Consul General of SIAM
is here on his way 10 Biltmore. He
called on the Governor and other State
officers. particularly the Treasurer, and
asked the latter questions regarding some
of the Especial tax-bonds" of this State.
which the people by vote repudiated in
1915. Smith says he paid CD cents on the
dollar for the bonds. He must have
bought them many years ago. In recent
years the quotation has been merely
nominal. say 2l-2 Some persons nave
predicted an advance now.
The returns Of election Of State OIL

summed up by the Secretary Of State on

clerks at work and expects to complete
the task that day. He does not receive

lature.

Unexpected Turn in the Kansas Re-
ceivership Proceedings.
OSKALOOSA, KAN, November "-Ihe
proceedings against the Santa Fe Rail-
way Company, wherein II was sought 10
throw its property located in Kansas M
the hands of a receiver, took an uneN-
pected and interesting turn to-day. Inc
case was taken out Of the Jefferson
County Court and transferred to the
United States Court, TO be heard by Juuse
Foster. The case was taken out OF lhe
hands of County-Attorney Phynney, Oh
jefferson county, who brought the SUIT
by the action Of Governor Morrill,. who
issued an order Instructing the Attorney
General to take charge Of the case.
General-Solicitor Kenna. Of the Santa
Fe; Solicitor Hurd. OF the Kansas diyis-
sion: Solicitor Dunlap. Of Illinois, and ex-
Chief-Justlce J. A. Horton came over 10
Oskaloosa to-day and took the first legal
steps taken on behalf Of the santa re.
They filed their petition and bond, ana
secured a writ transferring the case from
the District Court Of afferson county 10
the United States Court The Federal
point raised by them IS the fact that in
asmuch as all the provisions, ordered Dy
the United States Court in the former re-
ownership matter had not yet been com-
piled with, and the master I'm chancery
discharged. the road Is yet In the hands
of the United States Court and hence no
suit against il could be brought In any
district court.
The action Of Governor Morrill, In In
structing the Attorney-General TO take
charge Of the case was the most sensa-
tional of t0-day's developments. Ii was
entirely unexpected. so it Is said by
County-Attorney Phynney. 1t takes the
matter entirely out Of his hands and
makes the controversy now between the
State exclusively and the road. If, as Is
rumored. there Is any scheme back OF
the case, the Governors action nips 1t in
the bud. It is understood that the Cover
nor and Acknowledgement are not in SYM
pathy with the purposes OF the suit, that
they believe IL is not founded on law, and
is against good public policy.
Solicitor Kenna, in discussing the mat
ter. said: u have no fear at all about
the final outcome of this case. am
anxious that 1t be speedily tried, and we
will meet II on its merits. The alien land
law under which the proceedings were
brought was never intended to apply 10
railroads and l have no fear but that the
courts Will so decide"

November 3. 1896.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
As a Virginian. Southerner. and Demo-
crat, / thank the Dispatch for its valua-
bic service to our party, and | honor Il
for its noble defence Of our people
against assaults of every description
coming from every point Of the compass
and from craters beneath us, sprung in
the hottest of the fight. This was
time which proved who were our true
friends. and who dared to show their
true colors We have nothing 10 be
ashamed of but our friends" who held
us down while our enemies beat out our
life. Shame on them! Twas "tne most
unkindest cut of air.
And now that every department OF the
government is In the hands OF the Re
publican party, let our young men learn
what we old men have learned by sad
experience There does not seem at pre-
sent 10 be any silver lining to the dark
and lowering cloud which hangs over our
southern land, unless 1t is that the ke-
publican party know now that they
are compelled to see TO IT that times
grow better, and some crumbs may fall to
us from the masters table. But 1t Is
only a dogs portion that the South can
expect from such a party.

BEDFORD CITY, VA, November O.
Especial )-There was great surprise at
st. Johns Protestant Episcopal church
yesterday morning when, at the conclu-
sion of the service, Rev. 7. w. Jones,
the rector, announced 10 the congregation
that he had decided to sever his con-
nection with the church here. and had ac-
cepted a call TO a church at Marshall,
Tex.
Mr.. Jones has had the charge of this
church for the past eight years, and by
his striking individuality, great ability,
and originality as a preacher, whose SER
mons are filled with deep thought and
pervaded with the essence of true Chris
tianity, has impressed himself on the en-
tire community. His departure will prove
a great loss TO the church and to the
town, and there is deep regret that he
should feel that duty calls him to another
