CARDS u a. . Reflection on His
Truthfulness-Blow Follows at Once
Quarrel Made Up Amid Applause.
RICHMOND. Va, March 2o.-D,iring the
debate in the Virginia Senate this afternoon
on the Mann Liquor bill, Senator William
Fl. Mann, author Of the bill, resenting what
he conceived to be a reflection on his truth
fulness, struck on the head Julian Bryant,
Senator from Richmond city.
There Ii intense feeling in the State over
this bill and Its opponents tried 10 break
its force by amendments. Mr.. Br yant
was the author Of an amendment exempt
ing the counties In which Norfolk and Rich
mond are situated. Judge Mann de-
clined to allow Bryant to interrupt him.
and he charged Judge Mann with being
unfair and distorting his position. When
Judge Mann demurred to this statement
Mr.. Bryant quoted the lines from Shakes
peare
thought that all your wiles would end
In feigned religions smooth hypocrisy.
Judge Mann again demanded to know
II Bryant meant to question his honesty
small desk between them Bryant pointed
his finger In the older mans face and shak-
ing It, declared with emphasis that he meant
all that the lines implied Instantly Judge
Mann's clinched fist shot out and hit Bryant
on the side OF the head, making him stagger
into the arms Of another Senator.
Later Bryant said he meant no personal
insult and that he did not have time to
explain his remarks. Judge Mann ex-
pressed deep regret and the two men shook
hands while the Senate applauded.
The Mann bill requires that saloonkeepers
must secure a majority Of the signatures
OF voters in their vicinity to secure licenses.

CRAwroRDsvILLE, Ind, March 2e.-If all
me charges that Will be brought against
mrs' ROBERT j. Drake. who Ia confined in
'ne county jail at Covington, arrested for
numbering her husband by giving him
poison, are true, she Is, without doubt. the
most daring criminal that has been run
down in the State.
Mrs. Drake is 90 years old, but looks
much younger Her past record Ia one of
many adventures and 1t Ia charged that for
years she has carried on a wholesale trade
In unfortunate girls. Her home was stu
ated away from the railroad and from
prying eyes. Two years ago she adyer-
USED Tor a husband. her first husbs nd hsv-
ing died suddenly. The advertisement
was answered by Robert j. Drake OF Gillins-
man, WIS. Soon after their marriage
DRAKE discovered some papers belonging
10 MS vile and she was In constant fear
that he would expose her past life.
IL charged that she determined to get
no OF him and short time ago he was taken
sick While in this condition he told the
physician that he believed his wife was
giving him poison. After his death Mrs.
Drake wanted the body embalmed before
II was cold. The Coroner refused, had the
stomach removed and sent to the State
Board OF Health for examination. The
result was that poison in large quantities
was found.
Before the action Of the Grand Jury the
Sheriff arrested the woman, for he heard
that only leader was needed among the
indignant citizens to hang Mother Drake
TO limb on tree. No one in the county
knows how much the woman Ia worth or
how she got 1t, but she is estimated to own
$50. 900.
There is considerable mystery about
Drake. Not till he was dying did he say
anything Of his past life. When he wrote
TO his people he inclosed an envelope within
an envelope addressed to box ILL., GillinR-
ham. Wis.
Mrs. Drake has served a term in prison
for robbing Edward Hathaway OF $7,7oo
one night in Danville. Ill.

SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 4215 to 42Ac, sales 1874
casks, and closed firm at Acc, sales so
casks The demand still indicates that
it will be sufficient for some time prob
ably to at least maintain the market
around its present level. The trade
are in doubt as TO whether the present
behavior of the market means a rise
in the price, though the feeling seems
to be assuring. The demand is appar-
emily well distributed between both
foreign and domestic exporters. The
days receipts were 1913 casks, and the
exports 1872 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm, with water white 10c up, and 9TH

receipts were 9O9 barrels, and the ex-
ports 1,14l barrels. Prices as follows:

forces, although thsre was a slight
manic in the aggressive buying of May,
it seems to be the general idea that

very strong one. For this reason the
new crop months have failed to develop
any weakness, but on the contrary the
selling disposition has changed to one
of confidence in a higher range OF
values The more conservative element
concede that the crop will be benefited
nv recent rains, but take the view that
the start is so very far behind that
the odds are decidedly favorable to
the long side of the market. There
was heavy rain to-day at Charleston
and Savannah, and light elsewhere.
Numerous stop orders lifted the old
months sharply before the close. New
Orleans shorts were on the run. Ca
HES were los points higher to-day and
