A Country Correspondent Tells Of His Trip

ELLINGTON, VA, June 2s.-Special.-
/ have just returned from u pleasant trip
to Lynchburg and Lexington. The "Hill
city shows signs of improvement. The
stores were well-filled and the merchants
seem to be busy. There was but little
tobacco coming I'm, but prices were good.
This city has now u large whoiesale
trade in almost every line. The shoe
trade is especially large. Going from
L%ynchburg to Lexington l passed the
once boom towns of Glasgow and Buena
Vista. The vacant houses and grown-up
streets show plainly the folly OF the
boom. A large portion Of Glasgow Is
planted in corn.
Buena Vista has some works going on.
I noticed a great deal Of tan bark and
poplar wood at the paper mill and tam
yard.
The crops all along the road were fine.
Wheat was Just ready for the scythe. and
looked elegant. The Valley of Virginia,
SO noted for fine grass. cattle and horses,
fully showed that it was true from what
I saw.
Lexington IS a nice town. on North
river. with two railroads running into

THE TWO JOHNS FlGHT,
All About a Dusky Hued Modern Juliet
Named sarah.

What may have been a serious affair
took place in front of McDonald's stable.
on Eighteenth street, yesterday morning
about S:i5 O'Clock.
The assailants were John Jasper Swee-
ney and John Halliburton. two young
negro men. and the cause or the cifncui-
ty was Sarah Lewis. a colored juliet.
John Jasper Sweeney formerly boarded
with Sarah, but for reasons best known
| TO himself he left there and took up his
| abode at the stable, where he worked.
When John Jasper vacated. John HALL
burton stepped into his place. and for
four short. bIissful months he fingered In
the sunshine Of Sarah's smile.
Things went along smoothly for a while.
when. as is usual In such cases, a cloud
| came over their dreams and John left and
took up his residence at 1919 Twenty-sev-
| enth street, while Sarah fingered at sos
College Alley.
Sarah kept a razor. not unlike the dag
ger of the Juliet OF old. Before leaving
her John swiped the razor for fear sha
would cut herself.
Yesterday Sarah went out shopping.
She had five cents. and after pricing eV-
erything in the Main~street stores. she
left unsatisfled, and proceeded toward her
home.
But the eagle eye Of John was upon
her. and he followed closely.
"Lemme lone" said Sarah.
~ amt gwine ter 10 hit" said John.
81 won't be your wife" said Sarah.
81 don't give a darn" said John.
Then the five cents that Sarah had in
her purse changed hands. and John had IT.

"Den / gwi cut you"
"You better femme lone. now"

this time. and Sarah espied her former
friend and protector, John Jasper Swee-

Then Sarah jumped behind John Jas
per. and John Jasper asked the othe~
John what was the matter.
No satisfactory explanation was forth
coming and n scramble ensued. I'm which
the two Johns were considerably battered
and cut up.
Sarah's razor came into play, and John
Jasper received from the hands of the
other John several razor cuts on the
hands and a deep cash on the lett leg.
The other John was badly beaten about
the head with a curry comb.
Sarah scE-amed and rushed away.
officer f.. II. Robinson went in a hurry
and arrested both men, and the ambu-
lance. with DR.. Ilord in charge. respond
ed 10 a call.
The cuts on the person OF John Jasper
were fixed up, and the two Johns now
repose in two separate cells at the First
Station.

MRS. DEATH.
Something About the Career OF the Bril-
liant NOvelist.

The life OF Mrs. Margaret Ohphant,
who died In London. England. friday
evening last FROM cancer, seems TO nave
been almost entirely devoted TO her lite
rary labors. Herself and her work were
~inseparable, inasmuch as even her init
mates seldom found her when she was
not writing a novel. finishing one. or
arranging a plot. 1t Is doubtful IL there
ever lived a British writer who PRODUCED
mora novels than she. None or them
was distinguished for its strength or IN
tricacy OF plot. or its power or express
sion or OF analysis. but they all had the
VII tue OF containing as their heroes ana
heroines living, breathing human beings.
Mrs. Oliphant was born Margaret OH
phant Hilson, and from her early girl
hood the force OF her literary produc-
tiveness showed her career. Sne
had lone a considerable amount OF
ephemeral work before she was twenty
one. but then she set to work witA an
ardent determination 10 produce some
thing with a lasting quality. u the re-
suit was Passages I'm the Life OF Mrs.
Margaret Maitland. OF Sunnyside.' The
success of this venture was almost I'M
mediate. II was phenomenal for those
times of restricted circulation. She was
encouraged by her publishers and her
friends. and she set to work I'm earnest
and book after book began to flow from
her pen. Her love OF Scotland and her
deIineation OF it's people. her delicacy OF
appreciation OF all their traits, endeared
her books TO the Queen, and Mrs. OH
plant had the dignity OF being Victoria :
favorite author.
Throughout her long career as n writer
she held consistently to one principle In
the character OF her work. She believed
that fiction was lowered when the writer
dealt with subjects or with characters
that would not be admitted into any
family I'm the empire" The result was
that she never wrote anything about the
criminal classes. avoiding immortality as
n subject as she would have avoided n
contagion. and she came well into tnat
classification OF British authors who
wrote for young men and women M
their fathers or mothers might have done.

threatening TO cut him.
Furman was also charged with striking
the wife OF Albert Craddock, and the

The Poet Squire, as Justice Vincent Is
called, owing to tho easy and elegant.

way in which he poetizes, and rhymes at
his own sweet will. was put TO his Judicial

Finally, he cut the Henricoan Gordian

ing Of him security that he would keep

afternoon at the Fairmount car shed OF

coming into tho shed ran into IL, breaking
down two of its doors.
Motorman j.. r.. Bray, who Is a careful

he nor the conductor was hurt. and the
car was only slightly Injured.
AS the brakes worked promptly. the
cause OF the trouble was i'm much doubt
until an examination revealed the fact
that the rails were literally creased. and
SO the car slipped along. being %uncontroll-
able.
1t was afterwards found that some mis-
chievous boys had creased the rails. Just
