woman's Foreign Missionary Union.

One OF the most interesting and delight
full features OF the meeting OF East Han
over Presbytery in Richmond was the
gathering OF the Presbyterian aides IN
their meeting AT DR.. Hoge church. The
Woman's Missionary Union held its an
nual meeting yesterday at noon. with a
large attendance. The president. Mr.
James r. Smith. occupied the chair. The
Rev. DR.. Rosebro. Of Petersburg. offered
prayer. and made an address Of rare
beauty and impres<iveness. Delegates
were present from most OF the ladies' So
cieties OF the churches. with very inter
esting and encouraging reports. The
t~reasurer's report was read. showing That
over 81 800 had been contributed 10 Tor
eign missions In the year past by the
ladies' societies Of the Presbytery. The
presidents report or address was a paper
Of much interest. in which the death OF

room to enable counsel 10 submit the
instructions, and argue them before the
Court. Judge Clopton. in submitting his
instructions on the part OF the Common
wealth. made a very able argument. Mr..
Garnett next read quite a large number
of Instructions, and Captain Wise then
commented on the instructions submit
ted by the Commonwealth. Some dis
pute arising over the testimony, as
given by Mrs. Lowrie, 1t was suggested
by Judge Clopton to adjourn the pro-
ceedings until this morning. in order that
the testimony of the lady might ne
written out by the stenographer and sub
mitted TO the Court.
The question under discussion was as
to whether Mrs. Lowrie had stated IN
the morning that the accused stopped
following her on Sunday morning. when
she herself stopped as soon as she saw
her husband return TO the house.
Judge Ingram stated TO counsel in al
Iuding TO the instructions submitted by
both sides. tina he somewhat differed
from their views. He was OF opinion
that two essential points had 10 be con-
sidered in connection with the case-tne
attempt and the intent of the assault
and he would leave IL 10 the jury TO
decide these facts.
In view of the difference OF opinion as
TO the testimony given by Mrs. Louvre.
II was intimated by counsel for the de-
fence that they might desire TO recall
that lady in the morning. and the Court
declared that there would be no objec-
ton to IL.
The Court then adjourned until 10
o'clock In the morning. and the jury was
turned over to the care OF Sergeant fftz-
gerald. who was instructed TO keep them
together during the night.
The case will go to the jury to-day.

Stag as Ballast.

been experimenting during the past year

is to put about one foot under the ties,
and ii makes very good ballast. About
eighteen miles of the Akron division have
been improved IN this way, but Mr.. Lees
preference is for gravel, when he ca n ct
it. During the past season on the Trans
Ohio division he has put in lab mil *
of new ballast, the principal part of .vAi;h
was good Clean gravel. In addition to the
ballasting, the trans0hio division has had

been tEirty-one miles of new 75-poGnd
steel rail laid, replacing 6O-pound rails.
