Storm in Bedford,

A heavy storm of wind and rain
passed over this place and other
pertains Of the county Saturday
afternoon. There was but little
damage done here, but at Flat
Creek, village few miles south
of this place, the damage was
rather heavy. A church was blown
to the ground. as were one or
two barns. and horses and mules
were killed. Residences, too, were
unroofed and other buildings dam
aged. In that locality, too, as well
as in other localities OF the county,
the storm was attended by heavy
hail, which greatly injured the
corn crop. In places, too, many
trees were uprooted, the wheat in
shock scattered and fencing blown
down,

nUELL CULLEN was on his wedding
Is trip, and Of course it is not neces-
sary to say that Mrs. Buel Cullen was
also on hers. A casual observer might
not have guessed this, because there
was none of that usual newness about
either of them.
Buel's trousers actually bagged at
the knees, his shoes were almost shah
by and his valise was decidedly so. He
generally wore a flower in his button
hole, but he did not on this trip, and
as for Mrs. Buel, while she could not
have been anything but dainty and
immaculate, her travelling dress was
certainly not new, and her hat was
one Of a particularly modest eonstruc-
ton and deeora ton. She had made
Buel sit opposite to her for the reason
that the young man showed unmistak-
ably that he wanted to hold her hand
when he was seated by her side, and
that would have been a distinct VIOLA
ton of the agreement they had made
two days before. Il won't have people

any doubt that you would enjoy it a

LEw1sBURG, July l. The oil talk,
which was begun in Marshall Coun-
ty few days ago, is now assuming
mammoth proportions, and there is
a great deal of excitement IN some
localities. Maury County parties
have leased several farms in the
Snake Creek neighborhood, on which
there is strong probability of oil
being found. It is also stated that
other lands between Snake Creek
and Belfast viii be leased. Other
developments with regard to the
matter will take place this week.
The indications for the discovery of
oil in Marshall are pronounced by

Excited Over Oil.

WOODBURY., TENN, July Much
interest is being manifested in Can
non County over oil discoveries.
One, which seems to be of the
greatest importance, is two miles
from town on Cavender's Branch,
from which there has been a con-
stant oozing of oil for some time.
Messrs. Gray & HAYES, of this
place, have secured an option on
the farm. and have also secured OPP
tions on quite large amount of
land thought to contain oil, near
Woodbury..
The option activity is increasing
very rapidly. Messrs. Gray q
Halves have been in correspondence
with an Ohio man, and the general
opinion is that in less than sixty
days an oil we'll will be in operation
here.

COLUMBIA, July Capt. Lucas,
who was here from Beaumont, Tex,
few days ago, examining the in
dications for oil, gave it as his
opinion that the indications were
good. but that the only way for the
people to find out what they really
had was to dig down and see. He
is said to have made local parties a
proposition, which was refused. One
of the conditions OF the proposition
was that options or leases should

was his opinion, as well as the
opinion OF Mr.. Duckworth, that the
most promising field was between
Columbia and Lewisburg. How
ever that may be, we are told that
the Columbia Oil Company has had
man out in that section for the
past week, and that 5000 acres of
land have been paced under option
by him, while another man, said to
represent Capt. Lucas, has secured
leases on many more acres. The

HOT WORDS PASS.
Turbulent Meeting of Supervisors of
Alexandria County.

Alexandria County.
There was lively scene yesterday after
noon at the regular monthly meeting Of the
Alexandria county board of supervisors.
held at the county court house on Fort
Myer Heights. The exchange Of hot words
gave place to the throwing of dangerous
missiles across the room. and only the in
PREVENTION of bystanders prevented the
heated combatants from inficting personal
injury upon each other. The trouble arose
over the reading Of the report of Surveyor
L. T. Haney concerning work under his
charge in the county.
DIR. D. N. Rust, supervisor for Jefferson
district. made statements criticising GER
tain engineering work that had been done
by Mr.. Haney, and the latter retaliated by
stating that Dr. Rust was misrepresenting
the facts IN the case. DR.. Rust warned the
surveyor not to repeat the charge, where
upon Mr.. Haney reiterated the remark. =.
In an instant the aspect of affairs was
decidedly warlike. The supervisor made for
the surveyor, but heavy table interviewed.
There was large inkstand close at hand,
and Selling this DR.. Rust hurled 1t at
Haney. The latter adroitly shifted his po-
sition and the missile flew straight at a
bystander. striking him in the breast. Ink
flew In every direction and despatched
nearly every person in the room.
Singulariy. however. the fluid did not
reach the surveyor. It was now his time
to act and grasping heavy chair he
made break for the doctor. Again the
table separated the two, but the chair was
sent forward with great force and struck
DR.. Rust on his hand. which he held up to
ward off the blow. The hand was slightly
bruised and the thumb wrenched.
About this time the bystanders had re-
covered their composure, and through their
efforts quiet was soon restored. The meet
ing progressed. but no further business OF
interest was transacted. The board ad-
journed to meet the 23d instant, when mat
tiers of Importance relating to the work of
the surveyor and concerning certain road
improvements in the county will be taken
up.

POLICE COURT JUDGES.

Commissioners Strongly Recommend
Proposed Increase In Salaries.
Reporting today to Representative Bah
cock, chairman Of the House District COM
mittee, upon House bill 1860, increasing
the salaries Of the Police Court judges from
5000 to $4,000 per annum. the Commission
ers recommend favorable action thereon.
1.-The duties imposed" they say. upon
the Police Court judges in the District of
Columbia are of the most onerous and ex-
acting character. They sit not only as trial
judges, but also as committing magistrates.
The number Of cases required to be heard
has increased very greatly Of late years.
From the year 1897 to 1900. the receipts
from fines in the Police Court were $107,-
5000, and during the same period the
total number committed who could not pay
fines was 2O,610."
The compensation named by the bill, the
Commissioners think, would be more In ac-
cordance with the responsibilities pertain
ing to the Office, and more in keeping with
the salaries paid In other jurisdictions. The
Commissioners also approve that clause of
the bill which provides that in case of
sickness. absence. disability. expiration of
the term of service of or death Of either of
the Judges, tfthera OF the justices Of the
Supreme Court Of the District shall desig-
nate some justice of the peace to discharge
the duties ofssuch police judge until such
cause be removed

Sharp Break in Federal Steel on
Dividend Rumors.
BEARS RAID TIE INDUSfRIALS
American Sugar Was Also Under
Heavy Selling Pressure.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 15.-The satisfac-
tory progress Of the London settlements
and a moderate buying demand at that
center for Erie issues helped to establish a
strong opening in the local stock market
this morning. The buying of Erie common
and Preferred in the local market was
again aggressive, and rumors of important
developments at Thursdays meeting were
numerous. In some quarters dividend on
the Preferred stock was predicted, but
such announcements were not seriously
considered.
The fact that Hill brokers were large
buyers was sufficiently significant to war
rant general demand. In relative de-
gree, the common stock was In better de-
mand than either of the preferred issues.
An occasional demand for st. Paul, and
good support in Northern Pacific were
features suggesting a revival OF the
original deal.
Federal Steel was a feature Of the mar
ket as the result of it's dividend prospects
at today's meeting. These prospects were
the reverse of uniform, however, and early
confidence. gave way to a severe break dur
ing the final hour. The break was credited
to manipulation by the Gates party using
the rumor that the dividend action at 3
O'Clock would be a disappointment.
The price declined per cent under spir-
tied selling and the entire list became I'M
settled in consequence. This episode was
characteristic inasmuch as precedent has
been fully established for unexpected action
in the industrial shares. AS this raid pre-
ceded the meeting the street argued that
the sellers were relying upon an injunction
or some similar device to prevent the decla-
ration of the per cent dividend in a
lump sum. The rumors also took the
ground that only IN per cent would be
declared for the current quarter, and that
no reference would be made to last year S
dividend.
American Tin Plate directors declared a
dividend of s per cent. payable In four
quarterly installments, and National Tube
declared the regular ~ quarterly rate on
the common stock of that company.
American Sugar was sold for both &C.
counts by downtown houses, and rumors
Of an important inside movement were free
1y circulated.
The Tobacco shares were steady under
the outlook for encouraging legislation.
The entire market was weak and under
pressure during the last hour.
The decline In Federal Steel lead to an
attack on all parts Of the industrial list.
Peoples Gas was depressed, but met good
support at the low prices. The decline in
the market spoiled a very promising out
look for the railroad list. There had been
evidences of growing strength in tho rail-
way group throughout the morning, and
the leading banking interests again appear
ed as buyers. Support was given at the
low levels, but the buying enthusiasm was
checked.

The House went into committee of the
whole and resumed the consideration Of the
river and harbor appropriation bill.
Mr.. Moon (Tenn.), Mr.. Snodgrass (Tsnn }
and Mr.. Richardson (Ala.) made persistent
efforts to secure some amendments relating
TO the Tennessee river, but they were re-
peatedly voted down.
Mr.. King (Utah). under the latitude al
lowed in debate. criticised his democratic
colleagues for supporting immense river
and harbor bills because they happened to
contain what he termed pork In which
they were interested. He charged that the
democrats, not the democratic party, were
drifting from their old moorings in cham
pioning appropriations for strictly local
purposes.

Senate, is not a condition precedent to leg
isation by Congress in providing for the
execution of said agreements with Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua. nor are the principles
or provisions of the Clayton Bulwer treaty
any lust or admissible ground OF objection
on the part of the government OF her

law by Congress providing for the execu-
ton Of such agreements with Costa Rica
and Nicaragua.
