RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-The General Assem-.

day. The Democrats have practically no opposi-
tion In either house.
Gov. Charles T. O'Ferrall sent q message In
which he condemns mob law In strong terms.
He shows that lynchiDgs In this State have not

criminal assault and that OF the sixty.four men
who have been lynched during the past eighteen
years In, Virginia, only fifteen were charged with
criminal assault, and only eleven with having

He rene"s his recommendation that in order
70 prevent mob law an act be passed providing
that every. city or county shall pay into the
treasury OF the state, for the benefit of the
public, free school fund, the sum of 5000 for
each Thousand OF its population, the total sum

HORRIBLY ANGELS ArHAcKENsAoK.

the Tewn.FoIk FeIt Relieved.

HAcKENsAcK, Dec. 1.-The fact that Mnason
T.. Huntsman and Mary Storms visited Hacken-
sack to-day. and were seen to enter Justice
Cummings office. led to a story that the couple
were here to be married. This wss untrue.
Tho holy one" and the pretty angel dancer"
were on a worldly mission. They wanted to oor-
row money to pay q mortgage. tho holder Of
which had use for the amount. Mary has her
fathers farm in her name. but as Mnason looks
closely after the affairs of the "anyels." he al
ways assists in money matters. In their mission
they, were successful. the property being worth
much more than the amount wnnted on IL.
This fall. as last year. the Lords Farm" has
been hesieged by a gang of more or less respect
able disreputabies willing to spend the winter
with the angelic hosts. Mnason. however, has
become a trife more worldly than he has been
for many years, and being shrewd withnl. he
frequently follows the advice Of Rip Van Win
kle as to a cold potato and liberty to depart.
Many who are accorded q bed In barn or out.
building do not coyet the accommodations as a
steady experience. Consequently the throng at
the farm Is not oppressive.
Mnason's bair and beard are long and wavy,
looking as though seven sisters gave them gem
tie and CAREFUL attention. He and Mary were
clad in plain but comfortable garments.
