FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
George Ball to Be Tried at New Kent
Courthouse.
Especial Dispatch to The Timcs.)

Especial Dispatch to The Timcs.)
RONBURY, VA, April Thurs
day, April 10th, will be regular
county court-day. There are two very
important cases on docket for this term
that of the negro George Ball for highway
robbery and attempted murder of Mr.. G.
d. Gardner an aged merchant at Tuns-
tails, Va The case was continued some
time ago and has been put off from time
to time on some techncalities, at an
enormous expense. Able counsel have
been employed by the defence. and the
Commemorative Attorney. Mr.. M. II.
Barnes, will have Hon. l.. NJ. Nance ard
Mr.. r. T. Lacy to assist him.
This gro is considered a dangerous
character. He. with several others, tried
a few weeks ago to take possession of the
Seven Pines car from Mr.. Eddie Griggs,
motorman, and Mr.. Charles Reid, con-
ductor, and run it to suit themselves; but
when they struck those fearless young
men they found that they had run afoul
of an obstacle that they could not sur
mount For this offence the parties were
fined heavily by a justice of Henrico
county.
Another case to be tried this term is
that Of two negro girls, who, through
jealousy, got into a scrap, in which one
seriously cut the other.
The Literary Society Of Roxbury held
their weekly meeting Friday night at the
hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. L..

popular and interesting. Some of the
best young ladies and young men are

clause providing for appointment by the

only the comm. gressional election of

years will be placed upon a permanent
roll and shall forever after be entitled

A LARGE NUMBER.
| There arc about five hundred magis-

the naming in the schedule to the new
Constitution fifteen hundred registrars.

The announcement was made IN the

taken that members would please, as soon

to be appointed from their counties to the
| Committee on Revision.

Each member will have the naming OF
an average of about fifteen registrars 10

those counties having Republican dele
gates in the convention will submit, with
out vigorous protest, to having Republl-
can registrars selected to administer an

and denouncc. 1t is more than probable
| that in such counties the selection of reg

cratic Executive Committees.
In fact, Republican delegate remarked

| that he was going to send in a, list of
| registrars from his county of the high
est character of both parties. He laugh
| ingly said: II consider I was invited to
do so by the statement Friday, but l
don't believe my nominations will go
Through.
| The little clause in the suffrage law
| will yet give rise to new source of em-
barrassment to the convention when the
practical details come up for final adj
| justment.

OLD sWEETHEARTs Welded.
Miss Elizabeth Hodge and Edward Healey
of Salem. Married.

There was quiet little wedding in
Sioux Falls, S. D., Friday night which
will be of great interest to TIE people
of Kenosha county, as the contracting
parties were formerly of the town of
Salem. The bride was Mrs. Elizabeth
PEBBLES, formerly Miss Elizabeth
Hodge, of Salem, and the groom was
Edward E. Healey, also 2 former res
ident of the Kenosha town. Mrs.
PEBBLES and Mr.. Healey were among
the early settlers of this county, and
while they resided in the town of
Salem they were sweethearts. They
were engaged to be married more than.
forty years ago, and when the civil
war broke out Healey swung rifle on
his shoulder and went out to fight as a
member of one of the Kenosha county
regiments.
Miss Hodge remained behind and
after year of separation the sweet
hearts lost trace of each other. When
the war was over Miss Hodge removed
with her parents to New York and her
dulduCCO lluSUduu WGul west 1nGY
never heard from each other and a few
years later both married and were
widowed. Two weeks ago while Mrs.
PEBBLES was visiting in ST. Paul she
met Mr.. Healey on the street, and the
two at once began recalling old times
in Salem. Within the fortnight Mr..
Hea1ey revived the old suit and held
that the engagement made over forty
years ago still held and urged Mrs.
PEBBLES to become his wife. The lat
ter willingly consented and they quiet
ly left st. Paul and went to Sioux
Falls, where the wedding was consum-
mated. 1t is probable that Mr.. and
Mrs. Hea1ey will come to Kenosha
county to spend their honeymoon and
to revive the old memories Of their
earlier lives.
Both the bride and groom are well
known in this county and have many
relatives still residing here.

ANOTHER BRISTOL FIRE.
Fine Farm Residence of Floyd Lucas is
Destroyed by Fire Friday Evening.


The town of Bristol had its second
serious fire in week Friday night,
when the large farm residence of
Floyd Lucas, situated a mile south of
the village, was completely destroyed
by fire. The fire was discovered
shortly after eight o'clock in the even
ing and the neighbors were hurriedly
summoned to assist in extinguishing
the flames.
The Bristol fire department hurried
out from the village, but when they
arrived it was discovered that there
was no water with which to fight the
flames and the fight was finally aban-
doned. The fremen managed to save
a greater part of the furniture of the
house, but the building was completely
destroyed.
The loss from the fire will be heavy
one and it is placed at $4,000 with
81, 900 insurance.
The origin of the FIRE is unknown,
but as it started on the roof it is
thought to have resulted from defec.
tive hue.
This is the third bad fire that has
occurred in the county during the
week and the losses have amounted to
nearly $4,000. 1t is thought that the
other two fires were the work of fire
bugs. The home of Mr.. Lucas will
probably be rebuilt at once.

Insurance Trust Pounces Down on
Kenosha With an Iron Hand and
Rates Are Increased.
STOCKS ARE VERY HARD HIT.
Agents of the City Announce an Advance
Of % Per Cent on Premiums on Nearly
Every Glass of Risks.

Owners of buildings and stocks in
Kenosha are to feel the iron hand of
one of the strongest insurance unions
ever formed, for all the resident agents
in the city have been notified that be-
ginning with the 18th of March of this
year the rates on many classes of risks
will be raised Is per cent.
Indeed the order promulgated by the
so-called Northwestern Trust Com
pany is so sweeping that the only
risks excepted in the general order are
of such minor nature that the ad-
vance is practically universal one.
The order has not as yet been sub
mitted to the local Board of Under
writer's but it will be presented at the
meeting Of the board called to be held
early next week, and there is no doubt
but that the local agents will agree to
the increase in rates.
The increase of Is per cent is a
general one in all parts of the country
and every reputable company both of
the union and non-union list has
accepted it, so that there is absolutely
no escape for the insurer.
This action IN making so large an
increase IL the rates has been deemed
absolutely necessary on account of the
enormous FIRE losses of the companies
during the last three years. It is
claimed by the representatives. Of the
different companies that during the
last three years the stock companies
have lost $37 100000 in the business
and that fully 62.7 cents of every
premium dollar received has gone in
the payment of losses, leaving little
for the great business of operating the
companies and their enormous trans.
actions.
The advance in the rates will be
effective on all commercial and mer.
camille stocks, all frame store build.
ings, all manufacturing risks and
| special hazards, with the exception OF
such risks as have been rated under
approved schedules within the past
year. The risks which are fitted with
approved sprinklers are not included in
the above increase. The increase In
the rates will make vast difference to
people in Kenosha who are carrying
large lines of insurance and the in.
crease will fall especially heavy on
Main street merchants who are carry.
ing immense stocks of goods. Several
of the factories in the city will not fall
under the new schedule on account OF
the fact that their rates have been
altered within the last year. Others
whose rates have been the same for
many years will be forced to stand the
increase of Is per cent.
In speaking Of the matter yesterday
afternoon a leading agent in the city
stated that the increase would. be
universal and that every agent in the
city had been notified and that policies
now being written on this class of
risks scheduled were being written at
the advanced rate.
