RrcHMosD's FUTURE.

Upon the top OF the announcement OF
the establishment here of a ship-buiid-
ing plant we have news OF the sale OF
the Haxall Mills. This property includes
seven acres of river front. valuable
water-power. and several large buildings.
IL Is not the purpose of the purchasers
10 engage in the manufacture of -four,
but TO plant here an entirely new aad
more promising industry, In the shape Of
pulp and paper mills.
These new industries will give employ
ment to hundreds of hands. and will have
much to do with stimulating our real ss-
tate market the Improvement OF which
we see daily evidences OF.
Next, we hope to be able 70 record tile
actual beginning Of work on the depot
schemes that are under Amusement. We
believe the railroad companies have about
come to the conclusion that Richmond
has waited long and patiently enough,
and ought to have her claims satisfied
Upon the whole, the prospects for good
business here are highly encouraging
We know of few other cities where the
outlook is so gratifying.
Municipal enterprise must keep pace
with private enterprise, and next year
we ought to make the needful Improve
ment in our water supply and go to work
laying new sidewalks and roadways in
sections of the city where they are screly
needed.
In short, we must see TO 1t that Rich
mond not only does well, but looks well.

Game Preserve for Partridgcs.
baltimore American


DIR. Isaac f. Emerson yesterday con-
cluded negotiations with Mr.. w. W.
Walker, OF Westmoreland county, Va.
for the exclusive shooting privilege OF
about LOO acres Of land in Northumber-
land county, Va. DR.. Emerson ana
party OF friends will leave tomorrow on
The Doctors yacht in order to shoot. IL
Is probable that this is the first step IN
the segregation Of an extensive game re-
serve in Virginia. The property over
which DR.. Emerson has secured the
shooting privilege is known as "Fauntle-
roy's." and 1t is situated on the Potomac
and Yeocomico rivers. 1t was favorlte
resort with the late General Alexander
Brown, and is famous among sportsmen
for It's supply OF partrldges. DR.. Emer-
son Is an enthusiastic hunter. and has
an ambition to have a reserve which he
may stock with game. The shooting
privilege granted DR.. Emerson yesterday.
Is for the Leason which opens in North
cumberland county to-day. Should DR..
Emerson be satisfied with his expert
ment he will probably make arrange
ments whereby other farms may be add
ed, DIR. Emerson's hope being to ultimate
ly possess about 1900 acres Of preserve,
for stocking purposes
According to the terms OF the agree
ment with the owner of the property, no
one Is TO be allowed to gun there other
than DR.. Emerson, or those to whom he
has granted permission During the pre-
sent month DR.. Emerson purposes to
leave each Wednesday for hiy game pre-
serve. His yacht Nydia will be kept in
commission during the coming winter.
After shooting in Virginia DR.. Emerson
will make cruise in the Nydia to San
tiago, Habana, and other Cuban ports.
Returning, he will stop in Florida for an
expedition after fish, especially the IA
nous "silver king There will be no
time limit on his cruise.
"Fauntleroy's" is a fine farm under ex-
cellent cultivation, but contains much
natural cover for cartridges, which are
said to be plentiful there. The Yeocom-
leo river furnishes an excellent harbor
for the Nydia

Especial by a decree Of the circuit

Buena Vista Land Company have been
taken out Of the hands Of Receiver A. l.
Barclay and placed in control OF the tol-
lowing commissioners. Hons. X. w.
Winborne. william a. Anderson, and
Hugh A. White. The Court authorizes
these commissioners to dispose or the
property and holdings Of the company.
These holdings consist largely of real
estate in the town and timbered lands
adjacent, and the prices at which some
of the town lots can be purchased are In
strong contrast TO the prices which. pre-
vailed during the boom.
have lust been informed that the
Fire-Clay-W Works Company, which Is now
operating here on a small scale. Is about
to be reorganized, and will be placed on
a strong footing and the work success
fully prosecuted.
Nearly all of the Industries now being
successfully worked were brought here
by the Buena Vista Company, who ex-
pended its money largely in forming
stock companies to put them to work.
AS election-day draws near there Is
evidence of increased activity among
party managers. both Democrats and Re-
publicans. 1t Is the general impression
here that Judge Quarles will carry the
district by a handsome majority, and IL
Is claimed that the Democratic majority
here will, proportionately, be larger than
heretofore.

WHAT SENATOR'S SAY.

The New York World having been In
formed that our Peace Commissioners are
on the eve OF agreeing to pay Spain
s40.0oo.Ooo for the Philippine Isles, tele-
graphed the members OF the United
States Senate asking their Views upon tho
subject. Only eleven senators answered.
II Is fair TO presume that many OF the
Others were absent from home, and were
not reached by the Worlds kilograms
not few being engaged In stump speak
ing. Others, we guess. cared not TO COM
init themselves.
The chairman OF the National Demo
cratic Committee, James X. Jones, re-
piled unhesitatingly and decisively, that
he was mot in favor of paying Spain
$40, 100000 or any other sum for the Philip
pines
Mr.. Hale, Of Maine, answered that ne
would not take the Philippines II Spain
would give us $40. 900 with them. The
sooner we drop them the better" he
added.
Mr.. Chandler, of New Hampshire, said
IL Spain would pay us 100000 900 indem-
nifty he would be willing TO let her take
10000, 900 out OF the sum. Mr.. Chandler
thinks we ought to give to the Philip
pines the blessings Of religious liberty and
self-government, as we have given them
to Cuba" This, we think. quite ambi-
guous. because II Is not clear that we
have given Cuba anything as yet. or that
we purpose giving her anything.
Major John W. Daniel replied that he
had not before heard of the proposition.
"On hand am si5.nclined to favor 1t, "
he added.
Mr.. Tilman was found to be opposed TO
paying any sum of money to Spain for
the Philippines, and equally opposed to
holding them as conquered territory; but,
said he, "if we demand their cession, we
should not assume any debts on that ac-
count and we could then sell them to
help pay the expenses OF the war"
Inasmuch as only eleven senators re-
sponded to the Worlds inquiry, we can
not say whether their views are indica-
tive of the sentiment Of the Senate; but
we presume not. All of them were OPP
posed to annexation.
Only two Republican members answered,
and our conjecture is that most of the
others re holding back to learn the
wishes of the administration.
The annexation of Hawaii, Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines would necessi-
tate the creation of an enormous number
of offices, civil and military. In that
event, the "p.e-counter" would be heavily
stocked, and unhappy would be the ave-
rage Republican who could not walk up
and, with good grace, claim his distribu-
tive share.
We venture to say that the World is
wrong about its s40OOO,0O0 figures-indeed,
our kilograms this morning show that it
is-but unless the imperialistic idea is
very strongly condemned at the polls on
the Sth of November, we much fear that
the Senate will have hard time standing
out against the President and the place
hunters both.

STAMPING OUT DIPHTHERIA.

From Boston comes another good word
for antitoxin. The Herald of that city
says that while II may be putting II
rather strong TO say that dphtheria has
been stamped out in Boston, the fact that
there was not single death the past
week from the disease possesses consid-
erAble significance, especially when 1t is
borne in mind that this is the season Of
the year when diphtheria is more preva-
lent than usual.
The Herald attributes Bostons success
I'm practically conquering the scourge to
the excellence of the city's hospital ac-
commodations. the daily inspection OF the
pupils In the public schools. and the
general use OF antitoxin, but 1t makes II
plain that the last named agency has
been the most potential OF the three in
securing the result

The Case of Captain Carter.

(New York Commercial Advertiser)
II the sentence OF Captain Carter is as
reported then the court-martial has done
its duty. Dismissal from the army with
ignominy, five years Imprisonment. and
a heavy fine are not an excessive punish
ment for the offence of which he has been
found guilty. A lesser offence committed
in time of war would be punished with
death, and the court martial has given
Carter all the leniency he could expect.
Now it is for those whose legal duty 1t
is to review the sentence to do their
duty, regardless of social and political in
fuenCe. The army seems corruptible in
ordinary times only through the deplor-
able connection of the Engineers Depart
ment with river and harbor contracts.
Till this connection can be broken the
weak point should be sternly guarded.

there was a Joint meeting of the Finance
and Street Committees to discuss intor-
mally this matter, and to agree on some
proposition TO be submitted to the Coun-
ell, and both committees were favorable
to the contemplated improvement TO be
begun at once. Sycamore ana part Oh
Washington, and probably portions or
other streets, will be embraced in the
plans, and the Council will probably be
asked 10 issue bonds to the amount OF
Sc, 900 or more to start the work. The ma
terial to be used in repairing has not been
decided upon. That will be fixed by the
Council. There are advocates of vitrihed
bricks ana OF asphalt, but 1t is believed
the latter is the favorite. The work Will
be under the supervision Of the Street
Committee aided by the advice of an
expert.

LEESBURG, VA. November L-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The sad tragedy of Sunday last, in

At the Coroner's inquest Theodore made
this statement. I'VE were at the table

at him across the table. He was about
five or six feet off. He lodged down
when / threw the knife, and the knife
struck him in the back"
Theodore also said that there had been
no trouble between the two prior to this;
that he did not intend to hurt his bro
Their, but simply desired to brighten him.
There was no tussle between them, he
said He took the knife from the table.
