TURKEY IS 4 LUXURY
The Fav2rite Christmas Fowl
is Scarce and High Here.
More are Coming.

Turkeys are very scarce. z. W. Evans,
one OF the largest turkey dealers on Cary
street last night. said that the market
III Christmas turkeys is expected to ad-
vance sharply by the first of next week.
Poultry shippers in southwest Virginia
to q large extent are ignoring this mar
5et, and shipping North. where the prices
arc higher. Those shippers who are in
formed, are holding dressed stock around
II TO 20 cents, it is reported.
According to late advices, most Of the
large shippers have contracted already
in the North for their entire crops, which
leaves the Richmond markets dependent
upon the small local shippers.
When the true condition becomes
known TO the retail men an attempt will
be made by many 10 protect themselves
and their own customers, with the result
that prices will again advance For this
reason there is little doubt that the small
shippers who send in their turkeys for
the Christmas 1arket will get satisfactory
prices.
According TO Mr. Evans, there will be q
demand for tS1riSeys this year. coinn1is-s
sion men have larger orders ahead than
ever before and feel confident that the
general demand will be greater than
almost any previous Christmas. Pros
0erity is general everywhere, and every
family wants and will have q plump
hiped for their Christmas dinner. For
the past three or four years the dealers
have run short.
Already this week the turkey market
has advanced 8 cents pound, and there
is every indication that there will be q
1877 cent market by Monday. Prices may
be higher.
Commission men are expecting the
largest receipts Monday and Tuesday.
which Will give the retailers time to
handle them before Christmas Day.

NEW ORLEANS. LA. December 1S.-
Edward Barnett. attorneyat-law, and
self-styled divorce lawyer, OF this city.
IS auguishins behind prison bars and
several cases OF bigamy nave been mar
rovly avertsd
IN his handling of divorce cases Bar
nett. has been lawyer, judge, and jury.
lie has issued his own DEGREES. forged the
names of judges by whom they purport
TO hava been signed. and fraudulGutly
affixed the seals of the court in which
he Informed his clients the cases had
been tried. His method was both expe-
ditous and labor saving.
Among those who came TO him to seek
release from matrimonial ties which
chafed was Mrs. Fl. 2. Parsons a promi-
llent resident of this city. Mrs. Parsons
wished to try her luck d second time and
after she had murnlured assent TO the
plsadinss of her wooer. she sought out
Barnett and asked him TO get her a
divorce Baruett took what money she
had and sent her around an imposing
document with judicial seals, which reclt-
ed that she had been legally divorced
from her husband. Mrs. Parsons is a
careful soul. however, and went around
to court yesterday 70 ind out if the de-
cree had been entered. She discovered
that it had never been issued. The name
OF the judge which was affixed to the
document was found to be q forgery.
Mrs. Parsons promptly swore out
warrant against Barnett charging him
with all manner of high crimes and mis-
demeanors. This morning Fred p Clark,
who had heard of Mrs. Parsons predica-
ment, began to get uneasy. He TOO, had
been awarded decree OF divorce through
Barnett, and he too was about to be mar
ried He called on his sweetheart, a
pretty girl OF q wel-to-do family and
told her OF his fears. Together they Wis
tied the office Of the clerk OF the Civil
District Court. There CIark's worst
fears were realized. He found he was
still a married man. The decree which
Barnett had given him and for which
he had paid. was not worth the parch-
ment on which it was written.
Immediately upon the revelation OF the
dire truth the bride-tohe tainted away,
anG she was revived with difficulty. IT s
peedless to say that the wedding will be
pc tstponed, until q bona iids decree OF
divorce is secured. Owing to the evident
prcstration of the .-oting lady and her
prominent social connections, her name
IS withheld.
Whether or not any OF the DEGREES Of
the Barnett divorce will have resulted in
tisamy remains 10 be seen. He has been
doing Il land office business and it is not
at all probable that q number OF couples
who believe themselves to be legally man
and wife are in reality bigamsts.

ANGRY FATHERS RACE
Overtakes Negro Who Had
InsuIted Daughter and
Arrests Him.

Mitchell Hill an unknown negro, whose
general appearance and actions mark
him as man Of very vicious tempera-
nlent and a dangerous character, was
arrested yesterday near tho Reformato
and brought to Richmond by Mr.. j. a.
Spears, Of Dumbarton
The cause OF the negro's arrest and
the efforts of MI. Spears in making it,
were, the one suspicious, and the other
exciting.
Mr.. Spears's two children. a boy and
a girl. were on their way to school when
they We're met by the negro man on q
wheel. He stopped. dismounted, and ap-
preached them. and the boy says, drew
a pistol and pointed it at him, at the
same time making an improper remark
to the girl. Both children became fright
ened and ran home, bursting into their
mothers home, where she lay i'll. with
her husband attending her, and told what
had happened.
Mr.. Spears became beside himself with
passion, and, dashing to the stable, bri-
died his horse, and. without taking time
to saddle it, put out up the road in a
full run after the man
The negro became alarmed when the
children ran home and. jumping on his
Wheel started down the road in the di-
rection of the Reformatory. From the
first the negro seemed to realize his dan
ger. for he sped. without stopping. over
dry rough. and muddy places alike. For
eight miles this exciting race kept up,
until finally Mr. Spears sighted the ne
gro III the distance. and. putting the
switch to his already winded horse, he
soon overlook the fugitive. Immediately
placed him under arrest and brought him
TO Richmond.
Mr.. Spears said that several times he
felt like getting down and taking the
man in the woods and there giving him
a severe thra shing, but he thought 1t was
better to let the law take its course.
The wheel which the negro rode was
evidently a stolen one. II is a 1902 Co
lurb;a model, and has al! the latest i'm
proveYnents The police are now trying
to locate the owner.
