of the year. They are now handlims
large quantities of bananas. lemons.
oranges ana such reasonable fruits.
That this is, becoming good place
for Importers TO bring tropical fruits is
shown by the good results obtained last
week in the sale of the cargo of pine
apples brought here by the Ellie. The
captain of this schooner had intended
to 50 farther North, bur on account of
the ripeninS OF his pineapples quicker
imam he had expected. he put into Nor
folk. MIR. George II. Dawes sold the
entire cargo quickly.
Norfolk is steadily growing in I'M
portance 81. a fruit shipping point. our
Wholesalers are supplying large and
increasing number of merchants
throughout Virginia and North Caro-
lima, and South Carolina dealers are
now beginning 10 come To Norfolk for
their supplies.
tropical fruits are now Wholesalod as
cheaply in Norfolk as at the large
Northern cenicrs, SO this trade may
reasonably be expected to steadily in
crease year by year until we supply
all of the vast country tributary to
Norfolk.
The Importance of this trade to Nor
folk lis realized by but few of our cit
lzens. IL is not only valuable on ac-
count Of the fruit that our merchants
handle and the freights paid to our
railroads. but valuable also by increas,
ing the sales of our merchants in all

ing yesterday morning. While he was
away the wife became very despondent
and meditated upon the quarrel OF the pre-
ceding evening. The thought of self de
struction came and she deliberately placed
chair under the gas jet, stood upon the
seat OF the former. turned the key and
after several inhalations fell heavily TO the
floor.
The fall attracted the attention of Casey
who was in the house at the time. He
notified Mrs. Matilda Gales who conducts
a confectionery store at No. 6li Ninth
Street. She called the attention of Police
man Carlin TO the affair. He summoned
the Emergency Hospital ambulance. but
Mrs Moore rallied Just before the ar
rival Of the van and refused to be taken
TO the hospital.
DR.. J. l.. Delaney was called and pro-
nounced the woman out of danger. When
she had sufficiently recovered Mrs Moore
told the policeman, whose duty il was to
report the affair. that she had attempted
to take her life because she was de-

Marital troubles, ending in a quarrel,
are assigned as the cause OF Mrs. Fannie
NJ. Moore, the young wife of Arthur A.
Moore, letter carrier, attempting suicide
shortly before noon yesterday in her
apartments, at No. si2 Ninth Street north
west. Mrs. Moore deliberately turned Oh
the gas and, standing on a chair, began
10 inhale the deadly fumes. She fell to
the floor in an unconscious condition and
the noise of the fall attracted the atten-
tion of Thomas Casey, who rushed to her
assistance.
The Moores occupy several rooms in the
second story OF the building on Ninth
Street. They rent them from Casey, who
is watchman, and who rents the prop
erty. Mrs. Moore is young and pretty.
She gave her age to the police as twenty
seven years. She and her husband have
not been living very felicitously for some
weeks, it is said, and their differences cul-
