moment that it was entirely too hot for
the ceremony and early in the day he
started to Oak Park to arrange a post

The bride-to-b be would not listen to such
an arrangement, so Colbert boarded a car

There is considerable criticism on the
Exchange as to the neglect OF the govern
ing committee in not listing the II per
cent bonds of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company. In explanation it
is stated that under the board rule no s.
curities can be listed if objection is III de
by the interested corporation. In this Casa
the corporation at interest has entered an
objection to the listing of the bonds. the
best part of which are owned in New York
Philadelphia, and Baltimore. \ month 2g0
the bonds were being marketed around -.
The last quotable figures were 10 Ii to
20 81. There is hardly house in the
Street that has not from day 10 day made
enquiries from their out-of-town core
spondents, desiring an Offering or a bid for
the bonds. As the Washington Traction
and Electric Company is essentially a To-
cal corporation, it would seem from dis
interested point of view as if the desire
for the listing of these bonds was not IN
reasonable.

The business on the Washington Board
as elsewhere is NEST limited. Whatever
activity there is seems to be centred in
MergenthaleT, in which there has been
within the last three days smart advance
from 1874 IA to 1S7. There appears TO have
been a good deal of slick manipulation in
this Seemingly the Boston market has
been adroitly bid up small lots and all
stock offered at a cheaper price in this
market has been taken. While the lots
sold in Boston have been small, the ped
dling-out process at the better price has
shown something to the good.
Capital Traction moves neither way. and
has fuctuated just one-eighth of l per
cent in ten days Failing to get a better
bid, the representative of a prominent
house yesterday sold fifty shares at 1OZ ID.
There is no reason 10 think that there will
be any movement in the stock for some
time.

wish TO bring before the public that
inc carnival to begin in Armory Hall

the new Cumberland Street Church
which Will be erected at the intersec-
ton OF Frcemason and Cumberland
streets. The time-honored traditions
ana the maternal relation that old
Cumberland Street Church bears 10
Methodism in this vicinity will. we are
sure, stimulate the people of this COM
munity to lend us an active hand in this
good cause.
Cumberland Street Church has done n
good work in Norfolk; and the people
owe IT debt of large proportions and
long standing. If II were possible for
all humanity to return again to its one
common ancestor then all social, politi-
cal and religious differences would be
plotted out; and so If all Methodism in
THIS community could return again to
the one common source of origin and
we could for a time indulge in hallowcd
memories that cluster about grand old
Cumberland Street Church. i'm which
the cradle Of our infancy was rocked.
then Il singleness of purpose and n
unity of interest would crown our
efforts With glorious success.
We hope that the public IN Norfolk
and its neghboring cities will avail
themselves Of this opportunity of pay
ing some of the debt they owe to this
institution by giving us their liberal
patronage. Yours very truly,

(Richmond Evenlng News.l

(ldchmond Evening News)
The question OF charging the penl-
Tertiary and making 1t nt for the con-
fnement of even convicts is liable to
assume remarkable proportions before
the Legislature adjourns. The oppo-
sition 10 the appropriation now pend
ing, and some OF which is said to come
from Richmond members, has put 9TH
er localities in the notion of bidding
for the location of an entirely new
plant.
y member of the Legislature said
this morning that there wis n move
lnent i'm Norfolk looking to the raising
of $3.50 900 which would be offered TO the
State to build II splendid penitentiary.
thoroughly equipped with modern cells
and cOnveniencies. upon the condition
that it be built adjacent TO the city of
Norfolk.
He stated that he would offer such n
would urge its passage in the Legisla-
ture.
When the matter of repairing the
pcnitentlary was first preached at this
session it found general favor The
bill provided, however, that the board
to handle the funds should be COM
posed of the chairman of the Finance
Committees of the Senate and House.
Nessrs. Fairfax and Boaz; one member
from each of the prison committees.
AIcssrs. Eggleston and Churchman, and
Mr.. W. d. Chesterman. of the peniten-
tiary' board.
The removal of the authority from
the regular penitentiary board seems
TO have caused friction, and at least
one Richmond member is now said TO
have completely changed front on the
entire appropriation.
TO those who know the inside facts,
the conditions now existing at the pen
itcntiary are revolving, and are utterly
unworthy the character and dignity OF
the State.
III several instances from twenty to
thirty convicts are crowded into one
cell. and the need for more room Is inn
perative from the sense OF common
humanity
If nothing is to be done here there
is no doubt that many of the legsla-
tors will vote to give it to Norfolk
1t would be a mistake TO let it he
moved from Richmond and no friction
over who is to handle the funds and
supervise the buildings should stand in
the way.
