II. IL POLLARD,

The letter was read and filed and Mr..
Meredith said that it seemed TO him that
the City Attorney Should be granted fur
ther time TO formulate on these questions.
But, he added. there was a matter which
the committee could and should decide,
and that was whether or not there should
be four tracks on Broad Street.
.Tae Richmond Passenger and Power
Company want to go on Broad Street,
continued Mr.. Meredith, and The only
WY II can get them is by using the tracks
of the Richmond Traction Company or
BY the having of four tracks on that
thorouglfare. This question ought to be
settled 1t does not bear upon the other
question. and it seems to me that 1t is
hut fair 10 the Passenger and Power Com

Mr. Miles N Martin. Of counsel for
the Passenger and Power Company, took
issue with AIR. Meredith on this point, ar

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, July 2S.-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool 1-32d higher on spots
Gmiddling. 5 25-32d). Sales very small, only
1900 bales. Futures opened l to 2-64d low
er and closed , TO 3-64d under yesterdays
close. The Chronicles advices for the
past week are generally satisfactory. Rains
were had where needed and as a conse-
quence further improvement in the crop
Is noted. In view of our market closing
higher yesterday than the previous day,
the decline in Liverpool and~ favorable
crop news caused a lower range of values
here at the opening,as some longs We're in
orite report. The buying was scat
tering by Liverpool and shorts.
To-day is the first dog day and pre-
dictions for thirty days rainfall is heard
from several sections Albany, Ga, re-
ports first Bale new cotton for that sec
ton.
New York. July 2S.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say: Crop accounts are of such a
brilliant character that Liverpool could
not hold the advance of yesterday in the
absence of demand from Lancashire, or
speculation for an Improvement of values.
Trade outlook in the East does not favor
an immediate revival in business, thus the
limited supply in cotton has a little eff
feet on the minds of spinners. Our mar
ket has been a slow one closing quiet at
a decline of six 20 seven points. New
cotton appeared in Georgia yesterday, and
seems likely now 10 come in more or less
large quantities each day.

John Chinamau has the biggest religion

of his ancestors he will not succeed in life,
because the spirits Will get angry at his
neglect, Accordingly, II wealthy China
man has some big project in view. he man
ufactures all sort of objects in paper

he places at the graves of his ancestors.
finally setting fire TO them with great So
lemnity after a certain period. Much OF
the paper that he burns is Valueless, but
the Chinese do not think that the worth of
the sacrifice Is in any way depreciate ted
or that the spirits are more pleased with
burned offerings that have taken a great
deal Of trouble to prepare, for the spirits
are supposed to prefer quantity to quality
One OF the most interesting features of
spirit worship is that it is not done out
of real regard for the dead The huge pa-
per sacrifices are burned simply to an
pease the spirits, who are supposed to be
only too willing to hinder the living in ev-
cry possible way. There are good spirits
and evil spirits and the former are he
