Richmond, Va, July 10.-(Specia.. y
The question as to who will be temporary
chairman of the Roanoke convention is
being very much discussed in political
circles in this city. ..The Indications are
that the honor will fell on Judge Isaac
Diggs, of West Point. The name of
Judge VIM. II. Rhen, of Bristol, is also
being used in this connection.
1t is understood that there will be con-
testing delegations from Bristol and
should he he made chairman and then his
delegation turned down, the Judge would
find himself in II rather peculiar position
being the presiding officer of body of
which he was not u member. Hon. T. W.
Saunders will not have walkover for
permanent chairman. There will be sew
cral applicants.
%Beginning.wit tomorrow the Rich
mend State will, besides the regular af
ternoon edition, print Sunday morning
paper. The price of the paper will be
after that date one cent.
An effort is on foot in this city, inau-
gurated by the wholesale merchants, to
have the railroads make special rate to
merchants, retail dealers and their fami-
lies, who may desire 20 visit Richmond
from the middle of August to the middle
OF September. 1t is thought that if IL
sufficiently low rate can be secured nearly
every country merchant in the State can
be gotten to Richmond this fall. It will
keep great deal of the trade of Virginia
from going to Northern and Eastern
cities.

Kansas City, Nov. 13.-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train known as the
st. Louis fast mail, which leaves Kan
sas City at a. m, was held up by five
masked robbers at 9:30o'clock last night
at the Chicago and Alton crossing just
east Of Independence. Mo-, and less than
mile from the famous Blue Cut in
which three train robberies have &C.
Cured within the past year. Two of the
robbers were disguised as women, and
when the engineer saw them swinging
lantern across the tracks, an ap-
parent signal of danger, he did not hesi-
tate to stop. The engine crew were i'm.
mediately covered with revolvers. Con.
ductor Dennis O'Brien and Brakeman
McMichael stepped out to see what was
the matter and were greeted by a volley
OF bullets which at once caused the
greatest confusion in the passenger
coaches.
The conductor and brakemen were
compelled to cut the express and bag
gage cars from the rest Of the train,
and the engineer and fireman were made
to get down from the cab. The robbers
quickly jumped aboard and took the
engine and express car about two miles
further east, where they stopped and
compelled Express Messenger Williams
to open his car. He offered no resistance
as he carried no treasure. The robbers
had evidently intended to stop the st.
Louis limited night express, and having
made a mistake they proceeded to rob
the express messenger Of Sass and
then disappeared.

Market In This Country Not Up to Room
Ideas, According to Bradstreet's View.

Market In This Country Not Up to Boom
Ideas. According to Bradstreet's View.
New York, Nov. 13-In its review Of
the stock market Bradstreets says:
While speculation showed some response
to favorable developments, the course
Of the market has been Irregular. After
an improvement in prices early in the
week the professional traders made an
attack on the market and met with
little resistance, though on Friday
prices were again put up on the shorts.
The coal stocks slowed considerable
strength because OF the general belief
that orders will be issued to restrict
production and check the accumulation
Of unused stocks Of coal. Sugar was a
feature this week, declining from 133 SIS
10 Ign, but rallying yesterday to
12S IS. On the whole the market has
been a narrow and professional one,
Favorable features are the continued
firmness Of and activity in wool, iron
and steel. The heavy output of iron and
moderate reduction of stocks last week
suggests the improbability Of the ad-
vance in prices Of iron and steel next
year which so many have hoped for.
The unfavorable influences in price
movements this week are declines for
cottons and print cloths, the latter
touching the lowest price on record.
Wheat. lard and lead are also lower and
wire nails have been shaded. There is a
long list Of staples for which prices are
practically unchanged. The more i'm
portant advances are confined to Indian
corn. oats. hops and turpentine.
There is an increase in the number Of
business failures. the total throughout
the United States this week being 273,
compared with 223 last week.

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 13.-Grand Elk
allied Ruler Meade D. Detwiler last even
ing suspended the Marion. Ind. lodge Of

trict Deputy Armstrong. Of that state.
authorizing him to secure the charter,

Detwiler says that he received the re-
port of the district deputy for the state of
Indiana in the matter. and that after a
careful examination of the same It clear
ly appears that the lodge not only will
fully and flagrantly violated the long
established laws applicable to the ad-

also the positive Instructions of the dis
