The old Marquis building on the corner,
obliquely across from the Farmers and Mer-

Marquis, preparatory to the erection of a
large and beautiful business house. When
the weather boarding was removed it revealed
that the structure was of logs which. doubt

the building is over 100 years old. This
building was here before the battle of Point
Pleasant was fought, and many of the SOL

equipments and supplies there. 1t is remark

Injunction Against the CITY.

c. S. W. Barnes, a Staunton attorney has
obtained an injunction from Judge McLaugh-
lin, of the Circuit Court, restraining the city
of Staunton from collecting certain water
tax assessed against Mr.. Barnes
The petitioner avered that J. Med. Nc
Cue, city tax collector levied on a desk in petit
toner's Office and advertised it for sale on
March 21st, 1896, to satisfy the assessment of
$40 for water-tax and-the petitioner prayed
for an injunction restraining him from this
seizure and sale of said property to satisfy said
assessment for water tax, which injunction
the court granted
Mr.. Barnes has our sympathy in this fight,
though drain on our exchequer prevents US
from lending him financial aid. This office
water-tax with no water on the block, is the
most unreasonable defenseess, unlawful I'M
constitutional inqu ty, ever laid on helpless
people. 1t is the Only tax we ever paid, that
when we paid il, we felt like we had been touch
ed by bunco- ieerer, and the trouble about
itls, that it is constantly o the increase With
the same right ind reason, the city being the
owner OF an eleclric-light OF gas-plant, could
tax one for light in an Office when neither gas
pipe nor electric-light wires were within mile.

Decadence Of our Commercial Marine.
A letter to the Alexandria Gazette, by
Elk Judge of Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia-T. 7. Fauntleroy-from St.
Paul, Mimi, dated March 30th. con-
cludes as follows
1.-THE eastern coast of Asia, extend
ing 1000 miles and inhabited by
100000 of busy and progressive
people, is just opposite to our Pacific
shore, and is 5000 miles nearer to our
Pacific seaports than to those of Eu-
rope, and yet, to that complexion (com
mercially) have we come, in these lat
ter days of incompetent and incon-
tinent craftsmanship.
Into the ports of Japan-just over
the sea from California. Oregon and
Washington-there entered in 1894 only
80 steamers flying the stars and stripes,
along with 1920 British and German.
In 1894 Q ,8H merchant steamers entered
the port of Shanghai, not one of which
was American" Out of 248 trading
steamers which entered the port of
Neuchang not one was American Of
645 which entered Tientsin; and OBJ
which entered Cheefoo; and 1 ,493 which
entered Chinkiang; and 294 which en-
tered Foochow; and 1880 which enter
ed Canton, not one of all this enormous
number of foreign steam trading YES
sells was American Out of 1922 which
entered Annoy only were American.
Not one of the SIT merchant vessels
that entered the busy port of Bangkok
in 1895 carried the American flag. The
once proud supremacy of our mercan-
tile and naval marine in all the waters
OF the world is gone, and the flag OF
our country is no longer the emblem OF
progress and power"

Easter Services ar Trln,ry.

The Easter services at Trinity Episcopal
Church in this city were on last Sabbath
particularly beautiful and impressive The
chancel had been most tastefully decorated
with many lovely flowers and evergreens-
conspicuous among them being numberless
Easter lilies-and above the whole was sus
pended cross fashioned of small gas lets
which shown with great brilliancy, en-
bematic of the period through which the
church had passed and of the day which was
being celebrated. The choir, at all times one
of which any church may be proud, rendered
with unusual sweetness and power the various
selections appropriate to this jubilant oc-
cason and the sermon by the Rector, the
Rev. w. Q. Hullihen, was one of the most
mastery of this very able man.
The church was filled to OVERLOOKING with a
congregation fully appreclative of this beau,
tiful service. The collection in the morning
amounted to $4,000, which sum was aug
mented by the addition of $4,000 contributed
by the children of Trinity Sunday School at
their easter celebration in the afternoon.

A gas explosion at the post-office building
in this city on last Friday, came near proving
serious matter. The engineer of the build

for gas leak, and on entering the vault,
where supplies were kept an explosion took
place, which threw the engineer violently to
the floor and threw A. A. Eskridge, assistant
postmaster, over a table, badly scorching his
hands. 1t was a narrow escape. No supplies
were damaged, but the force of the explosion
tore away plaster work near the ceiling at
least twenty feet away. The gas lights by
means of patent burner, and the assistant

Interesting Suit in Rockingham.

very important and interesting case was
tried in the circuit court of Rockingham last
week. 1t was an action of libel brought by
A. c. Knicely. deputy for Mr.. Lam, the late
sheriff, against g. W. Hedrlck prominent
manufacturer and merchant of DAYTON, for
So, 900 damages. The basis of the action was
letter dated May 30, 1895, in which very
abusive language was used toward Knicely.
The authenticity of this letter was denied by
Hedrick and thus a question of handwriting
was involved, which led to a wide diversity of
opinion. Experts w. A. Burnett, W. P Tams,
and Maj. A. F. Kinney, of Staunton. testified
in behalf of the plaintiff Knicely, and several
experts from Rockingham in favor of He'd
rick The case was pressed with great vigor
and ability by Col. O. B. Roller and Sipe &
Harris, and ably defended by Liggett & Stray
er, and Jas. B. Stephenson. The jury, after
a short consideration of the case, decided in
favor OF the defendant Hedrick.
1t was the outgrowth of a bitter Republican
split in that county last May, when Hedrick
refused to support Lam, the Republican nom
inee, because he (Lam) had determined, if
elected, to make Knicely his deputy.

Sudden Deaths.

The death of Mrs. Samantha S. Gentry at

quite unexpected and rather sudden. She
had been sick but little while and the neigh

vicinity, was much more sudden. He had
been in New Hope the day of his death and
was in his usual good health and died shortly
after reaching his home near Humbert's mill.
