there is split in the democratic party.
The split exists only 10 the minds Of

GEN. WALKER TESTIFIEs.

At Bristol, Va, yesterday the de-
Tense in the trial OF ex.Congressman
Walker concluded its testimony at
noon having introduced only two
witnesses including the defendant
Il. H. Hamilton was put on
the stand to testify to threats against
the defendant, which he stated he had
overheard on one occasion, without be-
ing apprised of who the parties making
the threats were.
Gen. Walker detailed the difficulty
leadipg to the shooting as he remem
bered it, According TO his testimony
he understood Hamilton to have threat
ened his life and was of the impression
that Hamilton was fumbling about his
pocket for pistol with which to carry
his threat into execution. With
this impre: sion the General says he
drew Derringer and fred upon Ham
iltou. Within two seconds after Gen
eral Walker shot Hamilton be heard
another shot and felt the bail enter his
body, but did not see who fired it.
Turning he saw George E. Davis, a
stenographer, leveling his pistol and
saw Davis fire the second shot
which entered the witnesses body.
General Walker gave as his reason
for being armed on the night OF the
difficulty that he had been repeatedly
warned by at least twenty persons thai
bis life was in danger and that he
ought to arm himself. The General
was permitted to name the parties
who he said, were near by, always at
tending upon the contest proce edings
and who he had been told were armed
and prepared to do him bodily harm.
1t was brought out on cross-examins-
ton that most of the parties named as
having been probable conspirators were
not in attendance on the night of the
difficulty. Among those whom Gen.
Walker named as having warned him
of danger were eX-Congressman Fuik-
erston and Capt. ]. h. Wood, DOW
part of his counsel.
In the afternoon the prosecution in-
troduced witnesses in rebuttal. Mr..
Hamilton was one of these witnesses,
He denied the threats attributed to him
in the testimony Of Attorney Burson,
denied he had threatened the life OF
General Walker on the night of the
shooting, and also that he made dem
onstration as though reaching for
pistol.
The court gave the counsel time to
prepare Instructions and these were
argued last night. The ease will be ar
gued today and it is probable verdict
will be reached by night.

A VACCINATION SUIT. d. Rainey,
q merchant, has given notice of a novel
suit against the city of Danville, placing
his damages at So, 900. HIS complaint
is that DIR. Trueman A. Parker, en-
ployed by the city TO vaccinate people
in accordance with the compulsory vac
cination ordinance, visited his house in
the Fourth ward and discharged his
duties in such manner as to brighten
his household and throw his wife, who
is in feeble health, into commissions.
DIR. Parker denies the charge, and has
already published the affidavit of wit
ness to chow that he discharged his du
ties in usual and proper manner, and
when Mrs. Rainey refused to submit to
vaccination, he merely made memo
otandum of her name and residence.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dee 27.-The market for
securities showed the effect of the great
relief felt by the dissipation Of several
factors of apprehension and prices
mounted upward with increasing buoyan-
cy as the day progressed. The market
closed with a burst OF animation and
strength at the top level of the day. Net
gains in number of important rail
roads reached three points, with a long
list of advances of Il point or better.
Among the Industrials and Specialtles
gains were even more striking, quite a
number having advanced from four to ten
points as a result of the days trading.
The demand from an outstanding short
interest to cover accentuated the strength
of the latter group, those which have
recently suffered most showing the great
est benefit from the days business.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was almost a
solitary exception and was subject to
vigorous attacks all day in an effort to
unsettle the market and check the adj
vance But this stock, although it rang
ed over more than four points, closeu
with net loss of only point.
The leading influence in the improve
ment of sentiment was the quiet and or
derby manner in which the periodical set
Element ON the London Stoc.. Exchange
proceeded Since the last settlement on
that exchange Great Britain has suffer-
ed three notable reyerses to its arms IN
South Africa. its three columns of inva-
sion have been parayzed, and as result
alarm spread through the financial CEN
ters of the whole world
Grave fears were felt that the result
ing shrinkage in values would prevent
many operators on the London exchange
from meeting their engagements at the
current settlement. The news this morn
ing that no acute difficulties had de-
veloped, that money conditions were easy
and prices Inclined to advance rather
than to decline, brought immediate relief
which was promptly reflected at the open
ing here in an advance all along the hne.
The only notable check came with the
news of the failure of q Boston stock
exchange house, but this influence was
only temporary and slight.
The conditions in the money market
were notably easy, and one of the largest
Individual money lenders in the street

expected to terminate the period of severe

of the probable amount of gold exports
on Saturday These are not now e%-
pected to be large, owing to the easier
conditions in the London money market

in the advance, was itself induced by

The Death Of Finland.

Finland has virtually been wiped off
the map. What is called the Russifca-
ton of that country means the extinc
tion CT its autonomy and its absorption
into the autocratic system. The original
guarantee that it should have it's own
ruler in the Grand Duke of Finland is
abolished. Its very language is not to
be taught. It's distinctive flag and cur
rency disappear. Finland is dead as
nation. Russian schools in Finland are
released from the control of the Finnish
authorities, and rules are laid down for
the establishment of schools under the
supervision Of the governor general.
The issue in Finland of postage stamps
differing in any way from those in use
in Russia is prohibited. The conditions
of military service are to be made uni
form with the rest of the empire, the
oath administered to conscripts or re-
cruits containing an expression &C.
knowledging the absolute power Of
Nicholas II. The people of this aggriev-
ed country have gone into mourning.
They closed their theaters and tasted.
But that expression Of grief will in no
way alter the course of events.

Playwriting in France has reached
condition of indeterminate seesaw be-
tween materialism of the baldest kind
and mysticism Of the fimsiest texture
In raking the heavens and the earth for
themes the dramatists have succeeded
in putting religion and science into the
same receptacle to be pounded up TO-
gether by the stage manager. The latest
play by M. Francois de Carel is called
''The New Idol" The hero is doctor
who in his scientific zeal inoculates
his patients with cancer in order tc
study the fatal results. But one of his
patients, virtuous girl, defes his virus
with holy water from Lourdes This
mans wife, being a religious woman,
leaves him in horror. But as the man
she goes off with is more condign mis-
creant than the husband poetic justice
has to follow her. This play is said by
the Paris critics to be charmingly writ
ten, and, that being the case the theme
is Of no consequence.

CHAPTER I'LL

Three men had been dangerously
wounded and the law, now brave
enough, took charge of them. Polly and
Nell were heroines. The president Of
the mite society called special meeting
in their honor, and old man Aimes made
speech, with his shirt collar buttoned
almost tight enough to choke him.
Now it was declared that Polly should
never leave the village; and it was
also avowed that if she wanted to be
acquainted with three men from away
off somewhere it was her right, and
that it was nobody's business if she
had chosen to engage herself to them.
q One afternoon Aimes called at the
office and told Nell to go home. ''Go
right on now and wait there till come"
he said, thinking to whisper to her, but
speaking loudly enough to be heard
out in the street. eyes, right now, and
when I do come l may have mighty
interestin' piece ofynews for you.''
Nell went out and Polly knew what
was coming. The old man sat down.
