SENSATIONAL REPORTS.
A SAMPLE OF MANY SENT FROM
NORFOLK.

NORFOLK.
The following special Is from yester-
days Washington Post:
Special to The Post.
Norfolk. Va. March 11.-There is al
most a reign Of terror in the suburbs of
this city as result of the numerous
hold-ups, burglarieS, and murderous
assaults which have taken place Of late.
Suburban residents are worked up to
high pitch, and are talking seriously
OF organizing vigilance committee to
make things warm for the marauders,
who in every instance reported have
been negroes.
There has been run upon gunsmiths
and dealers In firearms, and scarcely a
man can be found who is unarmed and
on the alert, especially when abroad
after dark. To such an extent has the
alarm and suspicion spread that 1t Is
dangerous to accost n stranger on the
streets at night. Men keep to the mid
on triggers, ready to shoot at the first
intimation of a hold-up.
The women folk arc fast being driven
to the verge of hystcria by their alarm
and fears. and that their trepidation Il;
not groundless Is shown by the almost
daily reports of outrases committed in
various localities. Suspicion was strong
when the first crimes were reported
that the attacks were the work of two
or three men, or ut most one gang, but
there have been so many hold-ups,
burglarieS, and assaults upon women,
and at points so widely apart. that It
now looks as If an epidemic of violence
had broken out among the negroes.

SCHOONER ASHORE.
CREW RESCUED BY A PILOT
SKIFF.

The two-masted schooner Lizzie
James, Captain George Howard, with
lumber from New Bern to New York,
went ashore early yesterday morning
on Hatteras Inlet bar. A heavy north
erly gale was blowing.
The James went out of Ocracoke In
let Saturday morning, and had been
becalmned off Hatteras for two days.
She carried a crew of six men, and is
about one hundred and seventy tons
burden.
The entire crew was rescued yester-
day afternoon by pilot skiff from Hat
teras. The life-saving crews from
both the Ocracoke and Cape Hatteras
Life-Saving Stations were on the scene
of the wreck with life-boats-one on
each side Of the Hatteras Inlet-but
the seas were too heavy to launch a
boat. The pilot skiff left Uatteras at
l o'clock.
The news of the wreck came to the
local Weather Bureau over the Govern
nlent seacoast line. and stated that the
vessel was apparently lying easy. The
vessel was too far from the shore to be
reached by shot line. During the
morning the wind had a velocity of
forty eight miles an hour from the
north. and the temperature was very
nearly freezing.
Some of the crew think the vessel
can be saved. while others think diff
ferently. The Merritt & Chapman
wrecking tug Coley has gone to the
scene-to attempt to rescue the schooner.

UNLESS A MARRIED WOMAN HAS
s SEPARATE ESTATE WHEN SHE
MAKES A CONTRACT, SHE is NOT
& AUTHORIZED BY ESCTION 222S OF
q THE CODE. TO CONTRACT.
A DECLARATION ON A MARRIED
Z. yWONfAN,S CONTRACT MUST
/. SHOW THAT SIZE HAD AUTHOR
\ ITY TO Make 1T.
> The court says:
The declaration shows on its face that
The promise sued on was made by q
married woman, during coverture, to
assume the debt of her husband. The
ground of the demurrer is that the de-
clnration does not aver that the plain
tiT in error owned separate estate ut
the time the promise sued on was en-
tered into. the contention being that
such an allegation is essential because
Hhe had no power to make the alleged
contract unless she did own separate
estate. At common law a married
woman has no power to contract; her
engagements were simply void. This
common law disability remains in full
force in this State. except so far as
modified by statute. The only power a
married woman has to contract Is con-
ferred by section 22SS, of the Code
I.hls act does not confer upon mar
ried woman power to contract gene
rally. 1t limits such power to married
women who have separate estates
Chapter 100, of the Code relating to the
separate estate of married women, was
the. result Of serious consideration and
much labor on the part of It's authors,
and. as said by another, eff the object
of the revisors had been to emancpate
all married women from the disabilities
of coverture. there would have been no
need of chapter 1903, of the Code, but 1t
might have been accomplished in a few
brief sentences in one section. We
hold. therefore, that n married woman
Is now, as at common law, incapable Of
making contract. unless she owns
separate estate at the time the contract
Is made
The ownership Of separate estate by
married woman being n prerequisite
TO the exercise by her of any contrac-
tual power, 1t follows that In order to
maintain an action ut law upon a con-
tract made by her during coverture. 1t
is necessary for the declaration or other
pleading filed In the cause. to aver that
she not only made the promise sued on.
but to aver also such n state of facts as
Will show that her promise Is such as.
under the statute, she was authorized
to make. Reversed. ,S

was yesterday called to this and
kindred reports which have been sent
out from Norfolk. He deprecated the
statements made. saying they were a
tissue of Misrepresentation, and that
no such information had been furnished
at police headquarters. He will at all
times be glad to furnish correspondents
the facts. which cannot be obtained ac-
curately elsewhere.

'PENcER v. c. NJ. s. ST. p. RY. &C
Supreme Court Of Wisconsin.
January O. 1900

a VERDICT CANNOT REST ON
MERE SPECULATION, GUESS OR
CONJECTURE. THE MERE FACT
THAT WATER ENTERED A CAR
INJURING A PASSENGER DOES
NOT RAISE a PRESUMPTION
OF NEGLIGENCE AGAINST A
CARRIER.
This was an action for personal inju-
ries. The court ordered n non-suit. and
plaintiff appealed
The plaintiff was a passenger on one
OF defendants cars, and while sitting
near an open window was injured by
a stream OF water which came thronrb
the window. striking her on the head
as the train ran by. There was no evil
dence whatever as to where the water
came from.
The court says:
1t seems entirely plain that the i'm
preston of the witness Young that the
train was passing structure of some
kind at the time the water came in
the car was. at best, a mere COMICS
ture, and that his further idea that
Such structure might have been a water
tank was a conjecture founded upon a
conjecture. Verdicts must be founded
upon evidence which convinces the
mind. They cannot rest on mere spec
ulation, guess or conjecture.
While some of the earlier cases an
proved the doctrine that the mere hap
pening OF an accident on a railway
raised a presumption Of negligence in
favor of the passenger, this doctrine is
now abandoned. and 1t is quite univer-
sally held that the evidence must go
further, and tend In some tangible way
to show that the accident resulted from
something connected with the operation
OF the railway. Thus the mere unex-
planned fact that a missile entered the
car and injured the passenger is INSULT
Client. So we must hold i'm the present
case that the mere unexplained fact
that a stream of water entered the
window OF the car Is not sufficient evil
dence to raise a presumption of negli-
gence on the part OF the railway COM

Issues New and Great.

Upon the close of the Spanish American
war, in an article relating to the influence it
would have upon our home affairs, we said ::
Tin the campaign of 1900 this country will
be called upon to consider and determine
questions not only wholly new, and unth0't
of in the past, but more intricate, conflicting
and far reaching than any with which our
people have ever yet been called upon to
wrestle, and, excepting the great slavery
problem none will have wrought up the
Nation as will those to come up for solution
In 1900"
This article was written in November 1893
and for some months thereafter we doubted
the accuracy of our prediction, but during
the past six or eight months events have
justified us in every way. There can be no
further question about it; the more than JUS
tifable war, brought on for the liberation Of
Cuba from Spanish misrule and oppression,
drew after it train of circumstances that
have wholly changed our home conditions
and our relations with others; the new con
dtions and relations are to become para
mount in our public affairs, not tor the year
1900 only, but almost certainly for many, if
not forever and such strictly home matters
as tariff and finance will be relegated to sec.
ond place in the great quadrennial contro,
yersies that hold attention during presiden
tial campaigns.
We are now about to enter upon the ele-
mentary understanding our C's-of
the pew course of education that our people
must undergo, and as at no time or by no
nation have similar problems been solved,
exact like conditions never having prevailed,
we are bereft of the advantage Of the teach.
ings of history and of the experience of 9th.
ers under exactly or nearly similar condi.
tions.
That American genius courage and patri-
otism will eventually be fully equal to the
requirements of perfect mastery Of the sit,
uatioa we confidently believe, but that ser.
ious and costly errors may be made, such as
will shake us to the very centre, we appre-
bend, aud the nation should be prepared for
them that when they come, we may be bal.
lasted and steady to withstand the shock.
