CAN AN INCOME BE SoLD?-The
c. ur. of Appeals nss under considera'
ton a case of greatest n'erest. Il Is
tie suit OF Frank VS.. the Peoples Ma
total Bank and others of Lynchburg.
The suit involves the question whether
Cd iucome can be sold, point that has
never been decided in this State. Ger
tain Judgments had been obtained by
various parties against resident OF
Lynchburg. A relative of that resident
oied and left him a yearly income, the
principal being placed in the bands OF
y trustee. Immediately after the death
II sad relative. executions were issued
on the judgments, and Frank, the
p;siutif in the suit, was next TO the
first. Frank insti uted the suit to have
the Income sold The other creditors
were inside parties defendant, and an
sweiei, some asking that the interest
mighl be scld, and others denying the
Tiah', Ginning that such a sale coulo
rot be made, aud asserting that If The
income was sold The proceeds might be
sufficient 10 pay the first creditors, but
would not be sufficient to pay the
others, whereas by waiting all of them
would be reached in the course of time,
provided the life tenant lived. The
case was heard in the Corporation
Court of Lynchburg, Judge Chris
ian presiding, IN January, 1896
Judge Christian decided that the IL
crest could not be used, but that The
iucome should Do collected a d paid to
the creditors. Ad appeal was at once
taken, aud it now remains TO be seeu
what the Court of Appeals will do With
this rather unusual gus ion. Members
of the Court OF Appeals, it is said, pro
pouuce it strange and novel case.

SENDING SHIPS TO CHINA
The Navy Department Strengthens
Naval Force in That Region.
American Interests to BE Protected
Especially in View OF Possible
European Complications.

The Asiatic station has sprung into the
American war vessels. The latest orders
of the Navy Department Indicate the neces-
sity for the strengthening of the Asiatic
squadron, although, as usual, the explana-
tion of such action is furnished from the
Navy Department in the most conservative
terms.
The cruiser Raleigh has been ordered
from Smyrna to the Asiatic station, which
includes Chinese waters and a merican in
terests. The order to 4 duliral Selfridge
I'm command was to go at once, and the
Raleigh il probably now going with a full
head of steam on. The Secretary of the
Navy explaining the movement OF the
Raleigh, said that 1t had no significance
other IL al that it was desirable to
strengthen the squadron in eastern static
waters. He says that the order had no
reference to the German Chinese trouble.
but that An erican interests must be pro-
tected everywhere and that, since the
Chinese Japanese war, 1t is well under
stood that trouble may arise calling for
the protection OF American interests of
any time.
1t was further stated at the Navy De-
partment that the Raleigh is going to
China TO supply the place of the Machias,
which is coming home. 1t was learned
however, that three other vessels are to
go to China very shortly, the Concord and
Marietta. from San Francisco, and .he
Helena, from New York, and these are
not to play in the role Of underst dies.
When these arrive there viii be on the
Asiatic stetion, the Olympia, the Monocacy,
the Boston, the Petrol, the Helena, the
Concord, the Marietta, and the Raleigh.
Sotwit hstand the statement given out
at the Navy Department it is widely
believed that the assembling of re-
spectacle fleet in the neighhborhood of
China has direct bearing on the late anu
prospective movements OF Germany with
respect to Chinese territory. The most
interesting speculation OF the cay is that
the European nations con ontemplate the
carving up of China into Job lots as
colonies for themselves; and it appears
that Sn,erica has not been consulted at
all in the proposition. America, it is
now So id, proposes to take care OF her
self and her own I'm China, and hat this is
the reason for the increase of the fleet off
the Chinese coast.
The first intimation OF any need for
extraordinary care of that coast was given
in The Evening Times in which the story
was printed that Senators desired n strong
and experienced diplomat at this time at
the American legation in Peking. ard
that there was possibility thas an affurt
would be made 20 retain Mr. Denby there
till the trouble blew over, or that ii Inan
