ature,

One of the bleakest and most cheerless
days Which Richond has ever experienced
was yesterday, made disa agreeable by snow
and sleet and cold All during the day,
with more or less regularity, one of the
three forms of precipitation-rain, snow
or sleet-prevailed and rendered the life
OF the ordinary citizen not specially worth
living, Whether like conditions will pre-
vail to-day cannot be accurately de-
termined. Late yesterday evening the
conditions were favorable for continued
bad weather to-day.
Mr.. e. A. Evans, the section director
of the Weather Bureau, was OF the opin-
ion that either rain or snow would fall
again to-day.
The river, contrary to statements, will
show no appreciable rise, at least just.
at present. At o'clock yesterday eve
ming the water at Columbia was not
high and showed no immediate prospect
Of going higher. At this point the river
had risen little, but rot sufficiently to
cause any alarm.
The present cold spell will continue,
with a possible slight moderation, to-day.
The temperature at o'clock yesterday
morning was twcnty-three degrees, two
degrees lower than on the day preceding.
This morning there will probably be
some slight rise. The temperature will
hardly fall low enough TO produce ice of
a sufficient iirmness to allow skating.
Snow fell here to depth of two inches.

STOUT FIGHT FOR

Desperate Effort Being Made to

Rev. William j. Maybee, Superintend-
ent OF the Cn.ldren nome ouclety Ior

A1ler two days of incassant toll and

luLely refuses 10 let the society have the
child, She is herself not the person to

under the protection of the society now,
and a petition has been written by 'lr
S. S. P. Patteson, counsel for the society,
to Judge Lamb, of the Richmond Cham
Gerry Court, for court title to the child.
The matter will be taken up by Judge
Lamb February 11th.
The little girl is seven years afs2.s-
Mr.. Maybec learned of her in a raster
singular way. The child lived Wit, Il re-
spectacle old woman. One day some one
was cutting wood in the back yard and
the child ran under the axe. IeI head
was quite badly cut. She was sent to
one of the hospitals. Her history was
learned. When Mr.. NIayoee came on a
visit to some children he had at the
hospital the matro1 told him that she
would consider the accident providential
Z if he could find her now and ts'te her
from ker mother. The child had then
left the hospital and was we'll.
Mr. Maybee started out in search of
the girl, and at last located her. He
found that the woman who had her
wanted to give her up. She was too
poor to keep her, and the mother did
little to provide for her. Mr.. Maybee
saw the mother, who lives in a bad sec
ton of the city. But the mother said
No stoutly enough. Mr. Maybee then
found that the father WAS in the Aims
over there saw the man and got his
signed consent for the society to have
his child.
Mr.. Maybee has been advised by one of
the best lawyers OF the city to keep the
child and make the fight in the courts
for a clear surrender of it. on the ground
that the mother is not a fit person to
bring it up.
The details of the fight, which has been
barely outlined here. have taken a good
deal of Mr.. Maybees time, and for the
past two days he has had opportunity 10
do nothing else. Yesterday he was in
Petersburg. and the day before twelve
miles out in Chesterfield on the same
mission.

cured homes for fifty-eight children since

The drastic character of the proposed
article further appears from the folioW-

sion the initial and executive body to

No appeal is guaranteed to the

;.S the number of trains, the character

ties generally which these carriers must
alrord-matters great enough to bank

any guarantee of appeal. II that i'm

constitutional mandate, to be taken as
prima facie correct-a principle which
prevails nowhere else IN Juulclal pIoce-

A. The appeal bond is made subject
to the approval of the Corporation Com

appellate court to remedy any injustice
in this regard. the commission may be

power of the commission to practically
prevent appeals from it's own orders.
Is. The commission is given the power
: to fine corporations for failure or re-

as five hundred dollars per day, and as

This postponement of action was not

The present prospect is that the treaty

TRADE REPORT.

R. q. Dun Sc Co. 5 Weekly Review
on t-ade last week asys:
Speculation waits upon politics, but
the Legitimate business is not disturbed
by the approaching elections. New
labor controversies have been promptly
settled by advancing wages, and the
gradual improvement in supply OF coal
has reduced prices and restored activity
in manufacturing. Complaints are in
creasing as 10 the tsrdy movement of
freight, miles of cars being stalled by
the lack Of motive power, and many
roads refuse TO accept further shipments
till the blockades are relieved. Lower
temperatures have stimulated retail
sales of seasonable merchandise, but
frost comes too late TO seriously inlure
agricultural products. Liberal con-
sumption sustains quotations in most
lines, domestic demands being supple
mented by large exports. Operating
expenses Of railroads have increased in
many cases TO such a degree that the
earnings are some what curtailed, bni
gross earnings for October thus far ex.
iced last years. by 4. per cent, and
those of 1900 by 49, per cent.
