When The Dingley tariff bill went

while the Dingley tariff bill was il

tees, Sugar Trust stock sold at 1877.
when the Dingley tariff bill was
reported on f~avorahly by the confer
ence committees, Sugar Trust stock
jumped to 146l, at which price it is
now quoted"
This means an increase in value Of
Sugar Trust certificates Of over 800
100000 as the result OF CONGRESSIONAL
Legislation.

SHOT IN CoURT.-A tragedy occur
red at Henrico county court, in Rich
mond, yesterday. when Carlos A.
Twitchel shot and MORALLY wounded
Paul Davis, colored, nineteen years
old, who was entering the court room
in the custody of two officers to answer
the charge of assault upon TwitchePs
IA .year-old daughter The charge
was made last August, and the boy has
since been in Jail. Twitchel, his wife
and daughter went to Richmond yes
terday to attend the trial, Twitchel
was on the watch, and when the pris-
orer stepped into the doorway the in
dignant father stepped up, and, plac-
ing the pistol quickly against the ne
gro's body, fired the shot. The officers
jerked the pistol from the Infatuated
man, and prevented him from shooting
again. The Twitchel family came from
a northern State.
ramediately after the shooting Mrs.
Twitchel and her daughter were at the
side of Mr.. Twitchel. They were much
disturbed that he should have taken
the law into his own hands, but he de-
clared that when he saw the negro who
had brought ruin upon his family he
could not restrain his feelings and fired
at the man. Twitchel was arrested,
charged with attempting to kill Davis.
The shooting created considerable ex-
element in the neighborhood of the
courthouse.
The accused was hired by Twitchel
and was treated much as member of
the family, and he and the girl were
companions, fact of which the family
were aware. The family had no social
standing in the community, and these
facts prevent the sympathy which
would otherwise attend the cage.
There is a threat by negroes to burn
the Twitchel house.

buoyant step men, maidens and ma
irons kept time to the music, which
knows no North or no South.
The hall was brilliantly Illuminated,
the crystal chandeliers shedding
flood of radiance over the scene. The
front of the hall appeared bower of
roses, behind which were equisitely ar
ranged profusion of palms and other
plants, while the stately danes and
still more beautiful daughters of

brilliant attire, lent additional beauty
to the scene.
