McLAURIN DECLINES.

Senator John Lowndes McLaurin, OF
South Carolina, has duclined the APP
pointment to the vacancy on the United
States Court of Claims.
The President offered to appoint Sena-
tor McLaurin, but he has written that
he cannot accept the place. This let
ter is couched in the most positive terms
and was apparently based on a news
paper article, which he inclosed in his
letter, which said that he had sold him
self for the prospect of getting such an
office as the one that has been offered
him. ~
The President regards this type of ac-
cusation as contemplate and would pay
no heed to its himself, and only regrets
that Senator McLaurin paid any atten
ton to it. -
The President was very DESTROYS of APP
pointing Senator McLaurin to some
Office under him, and believes that his
Senatorial experiences and his career as
attorney general of South Carolina would
have made him particularly good judge
of the Court of Claims. The President
is now uncertain what he will do about
Senator McLaurin, but it is known that
he is anxious to appoint him to some
position.
The formal announcement of Senator
McLauriu's declination will be received
with marked surprise. The Senator
went to Oyster Bay week ago to see
the President about the appointment,
and after the interview confided to his
friends that the President had offered
him the place and he had accepted it.
The appointment is for life, and the
position is regarded as a most desirable
one. Evidently Senator McLaurin's
change of mind has been wrought with
in few days.

NEW SOUTHERN SEABoARD LINE.--An air
line from the Great Lakes to the South At
lantie seaboard is made possible by a deal
which has been practically consummated by
the Union Trust Company, of Baltimore. The
Union Trust Company has just completed ar
rengements to finance the extension Of the
Ohio River and Charleston Railroad from the
coal fields Of West Virginia to Lincolnton, N.
c. 1t has been decided also, it is understood,
TO extend this road northward TO Ironton,
Ohio, where it will connect with the Detroit
Southern. Samuel Hunt, president of the lat
ter road, is also president Of the Ohio River
and Charleston, which was recently taken
over by new company, known as the South
and Western. AT Linconton the road will
connect with the Seaboard Air Line, with
which company close agreements for the inter-
change Of traffic have been made. The line
will be the shortest from the West Virginia
coal fields 10 the sea, and If the extension to
lronton is built, it will give the Seaboard an
Independent and short route to the Great

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY %, 1902

REV. SAMUEL d. LUCAS, minister
of the Church of God, has been fined
$50 and costs in Moundsville, w. Va, for
disturbing divine worship. The charge
was brought by Rev. B. G. Bartlebaugh.
Lucas has had charge of the Corner
Church." and refused to recognize the
right of the eldership Of West Virginia
to delegate Bartlebaugh to look after
the congregation, and on Sunday niglt,
when Bartlebaugh entered the pulpit,
Lucas arose and said he did not pro-
pose to allow ''any such cattle to oc-
cupy the pulpit" pointing his finger at
Bartlebaugh. Bartlebaugh retired,
followed by most of the congregation,
and the irate Lucas turned out the
lights, and was about to lock the church
doors, when an officer appeared and
nlaced him under arrest. Bartlebaugh
then returned and the services were con-
tinued without further interruption.
Such scenes are disgraceful anywhere
and especially 50 when enacted within
the sacred precincts of church. The
Injunction, GIN honor to prefer one an
other" was relegated to the garrett soon
after Paul penned the words, and so
long as contentious men place them
selves at the head of church congrega-
tons troubles akin to that described
above may be expected. In an obscure
place in the New Testament we read of
an individual named Diotrephes who
had the effrontery to claim the position
of an undershepherd and who refused to
recognize John, the beloved disciple, to
whom was directed the last words ever
uttered to the human race by the Great
Teacher when He appeared on the Isle
of Patmos. What more can be ex-
pected now of men "nOt easily en-
treated" who are ever forging to the
front in religious bodies determined to
be leaders or nothing? In the case des-
cribed above both the parties to the
trouble erred. Mr. Bartlebaugh should
not have accepted the position under
the circumstances, while the conduct of
Mr.. Lucas is inexcusable.

FROM RICHMOND.

The first indication of an investiga-
ton in the Campbell-Crawford cowhid-
ing case By the legislature came at the
session of tho House yesterday, when
Mr.. Heermans (republlcan), of Mont
gomery, presented a resolution calling
upon the courts Of justice committee of
that body to take the matter up, in
vestigate it, and report its findings to
the House. The resolution was referred
to the committee without debate, and
was not adopted by the House.
In the resolution it is stated that
Judge Campbell violated the law he is
sworn to uphold when he cowhided Rev.
| c.. III. Crawford. He is charged with
conduct unbecoming a judge and a
gentleman. The resolution was entirely
unexpected and caused great surprise.
1t is not thought that the resolution
will bring about any results. If there
be any investigation, it will probably be
started on different lines.
In the Senate the most far-reaching
bill was introduced by Mr.. Sale, of
Norfolk, "to prevent chartered COM
panies and associations doing business
in this State or agents of said companies
and corporations from entering into
combinations to make or control rates
or charges and providing penalty and
punishment for the violation Of this
act" The punishment is fine of 800
to 81 900, or confinement in the peni-
Tertiary for one year, and any attempt
to evade the law shall be deemed a
violation, The bill was referred to the
committee on courts of justice.
Mr.. Cation, of Alexandria, introduced
bill which, if passed, will make it
obligatory upon future constitutional
conventions to submit their work to the
people for ratification. 1t prescribes
that delegates to such conventions shall
in advance bind themselves to submit
the constitution.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Murrell,
of Bedford, to prevent expectoration in
the street cars of any railway or electric
line in the State.
Interest in legislative matters centers
in the circuit judgeship caucus, to be
held tonight. Several of the contests
may be called off Mr.. Lloyd T. Smith,
of Northumberland, after surveying the
field, has decided to retire and will not
oppose Judge T. r. B. Wright. Judge
Breckenridge, who was running against
Judge George X. Anderson in the Nine
teenth circuit, has also withdrawn.
Judge James p. Sheffey, Of Smyth,
withdrew last night, leaving Judge Hut
ton. of Washington, clear field, and
Judge II. A. w. Skeen will have no
opposition, Judge Bond, Of Scott, hlving
Withdrawn. 1t is thought that Judge
Portlock, of Norfolk county, will defeat
Mr.. Hatton, of Portsmouth, and that
Hon. J. F. West, of Waverly, will de-
feat Hon. Robert Turnbull.
The legislature will also consider today
several propositions for codifying the
laws of Virginia. There is considerable
difference of opinion as to whether a
large or small commission shall be
named. It is likely that an attempt viii |
be made to have commission Of five |
members named.

of Albert Welsh, near Mount Airy, SIX
miles east Of Berryyille, on Saturday
night, Willis Hoop, of Jefferson county,
w. Va, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded by a man named Smallwood.
The fight is said to have started over a
woman. After the shooting of Hoop a
general fight followed, and Smallwood
and Charles Hopkins were badly hurt.
The differences between the Richmond
street railway company and its employees
have been entirely adjusted, and there
is now no likelihood of further trouble.
There was conference between the
committee of the employees and the offl-
GERS of the company today, at which 1t
was agreed that the nine-hour day sys-
tenn should be put into effect the first OF
August. This was entirely satisfactory
to both sides, and there will be no
trouble.
The people of the lower end of Henry
county have been greatly excited over
the mysterious disappearance OF j. w.
Edwards. A diligent search was made,
and the man was found in an old tobacco
barn in an unconscious state, with his
throat cut from ear to ear The green
flies had been blowing him, and the
flesh had begun to decompose. He has
wife and eleven children. All facts
point to an effort to commit suicide
He is very poor, and the people of Mar
tinsviIle town raised purse to pay sur
geon to treat him.
w. H. Webb, of Manchester was shot
and seriously, though not dangerously,
wounded yesterday afternoon by Mrs:
Furguson, of that city. 1t is alleged
that the man attempted to climb in the
window of Mrs. Furguson's house, in
the absence of her husband, who was at
work in Richmond. Mrs. Furguson was
alone. and fired at the intruder, the ball
taking effect in his right leg The ball
was removed, and Webb will recover.
1t is said that he has twice been driven
away from Mrs. Furguson's home for
abusing her.
Luther Fletcher, aged twenty-four
years. and Miss Eta Whitacre, the
seyenteen-year-old daughter of Mr..
Charles Whitacre, of Frederick county,
eloped during a church service near
Capron Bridge Sunday. After driving
away an irate brother of Miss Whitacre
at the point of a pistol, Fletcher and his
sweetheart succeeded in escaping into
Maryland, where a marriage license was
procured. Several weeks ago the couple
attempted to elope, but were stopped by
Miss Whitacre's father. Sunday Miss
Whitacre weut to church with her
brother, while Fletcher escorted another
young girl. As the choir was singing a
hymn, Fletcher gave signal to Miss
Whitacre, and both left the church.
Dudley Whitacre, the brides brother,
saw the move and fastened after the
couple. He was driven back by arevo.-
yer in Fletcher's hand.

Mr.. CATION has introduced bill in
the House of Delegates providing that
in future no constitution shall be foisted
upon the people of the State by the
action of a convention, and that instead
of such body proclaiming the instru-
ment it shall submit it TO the qualified
voters of the State, for their approval
or rejection. The bill also provides
that in future delegates to a constitu-
tional convention shall bind themselves
previous to election TO carry out the
provisions of the bill. This course
should have been adopted a year ago,
and much bad feeling would have been
obviated As has heretofore been sug-
gested, but few people hereabouts have
any serious objection to the constitution
recently proclaimed as the organic law
of the State, but they do not relish the
manner in which it was promulgated, as
it seemed to be a reflection upon the
voters of the State and in reality was a
breach of faith and Numerically OPP
posed to all conceptions of the free in
stitutions of the State and country. 1t
is hoped that Mr.. Caton's bill will be
adopted without a dissenting vote, so
that in future the people will not be at
the mercy of a convention.

IT Is said that the directors of a num-
Der of spinning companies in the Ash
ton and Stalybridge districts of Ian
cashire. England, have been approached
by agents of American cotton growers
with the view of the sale of the formers

at an early date to consider the matter.
"The yankee peril" it will be seen,
is still causing apprehension in the old
world, and from present indications the
British Isles will eventually form the
the tail of the American kite. This
country has already produced consterna-

as well as its shoe trade, and now the
very heart of its industries DTS spinning
mills) is menaced by the enterprising
American cousin.
